Chapter 818: The Daoist Celestials Awake From Their Slumber, Beating Some Manners Into the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial

After killing the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial and King of Gods, Chu Kuangren looked at the other gods. Since the Godly Mountain Source had been forcefully absorbed by the King of Gods, these gods were only left with some divine power. Hence, none of them were a threat to him.

The only one among them that still had strength was Zhan Xing.

Upon noticing Chu Kuangren’s gaze, Zhan Xing shuddered uncontrollably. Then, he said with dissatisfaction, “Cang, you’ve been dead for dozens of eras. Why have you returned?”

“Because the human race still needs me.”

Chu Kuangren replied.

“If it weren’t for you, I would have been the rightful Human King! I would’ve led the humans to live in coexistence with the gods, starting a new era in this world.”

“Living together with the gods? Are you kidding? The gods have always seen us, humans, as nothing but cattle and treated us as tools. If you were the one who led the humans, I’m afraid the human race would still be enslaved and living in fear of the gods. Their lives would be shrouded in darkness forever.”

“Do you truly believe that humans and gods can’t get along with each other?!”

Zhan Xing asked coldly.

“No matter what, we humans will never get along with these gods here!”

Chu Kuangren said as he glanced towards the Venerable Gods.

He had never rejected the notion of humans living alongside the gods. Perhaps in other civilizations, something like that was possible.

However, the humans and gods of the Firmament Star could never co-exist.

These gods have brought too much harm and destruction to the human race.

The remaining Venerable Gods could not help but remain silent.

All of them suddenly reflected on their past. If they had treated humans better back when the human race was in its infancy, would this have happened? Or would a different future play out instead? At the very least, things would not end up as bad as they were now.

Unfortunately, there were no what-ifs in history.

“Now die!”

Chu Kuangren raised his hand gently.

Surges of spiritual power turned into an army of spiritual weapons that rained down from the sky.

None of the gods at that time were left alive! Not even Zhan Xing!

Even the followers of the God Worshipping Cult were not spared. After all, these people had been brainwashed by the gods and were absolutely loyal to them.

If they were kept alive, who knows what kind of trouble they would stir up in the future?

They might as well be dealt with now.

Chu Kuangren could be very benevolent sometimes. However, at times when he had to be ruthless, he would turn into a murderous executioner.

He walked towards the King of God’s corpse and took out a rhombus-shaped crystal. That was the King of God’s divine fragment, which contained incredibly terrifying energy. It was the power of every god, the Godly Mountain Source!

After cleaning up, Chu Kuangren left the area with the others.

The Venerable Gods had been completely wiped out.

As for the remaining gods who survived and were scattered around the world, there was nothing to fear about them anymore.

…

“My King, shall we disable the Detaching Heaven Megaformation?”

The Daoist Celestials had gathered in a meeting.

During that meeting, the Transcendental Daoist Celestial brought up that question.

“There’s no need.”

The Transcendental Daoist Celestial was taken aback for a while before he asked, “But Daoist Celestial Luo Shui and the others have been slumbering for so long. Are we going to keep them there?”

He did not believe his King was such a ruthless person.

Sure enough.

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “Who told you we need to disable the Detaching Heaven Megaformation to release Luo Shui and the others?”

Then, Chu Kuangren looked into the sky and said, “This Detaching Heaven Megaformation was created after Formation Daoist Celestial’s and my extensive research. All it requires is a tremendous amount of power to activate it. Because such energy cannot be easily found in the Firmament Star, the Foundation Doiast Celestial came up with the idea of using Daoist Celestials as the formation core.”

“However, we have that kind of energy now.”

Chu Kuangren said as he took out the divine fragments of a few Venerable Gods. “If we use these divine fragments as a replacement, we can keep the Detaching Heaven Megaformation running. All we need to do is replace the energy source from time to time after that.”

“We don’t have many Venerable God’s divine fragments, though. What happens if we run out?”

“The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial was right about one thing. What the Firmament Star needs now is to progress and develop. It will only be a matter of time before we make contact with the other interstellar civilizations out there. Hence, there’s no need to worry about running out of energy. There must be something out there in the vast universe that could replace it.”

Chu Kuangren explained.

“Alright.” The Transcendental Daoist Celestial nodded slightly.

After that, Chu Kuangren handed over the matter of using the Venerable God’s divine fragments to replace the Detaching Heaven Megaformation’s core to the Transcendental Daoist Celestial.

Within the next few days, Firmament Star had gained a few more Daoist Celestials, and the nine of them were now gathered with the remaining Daoist Celestials.

“I can’t believe so many things have happened.”

A Daoist Celestial in white robes could not help but lament after learning everything from the Transcendental Daoist Celestials and others. That person was the Sword Daoist Celestial, the first wielder of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart.

A few others were beside him, including Luo Shui’s main body, a monk wearing a cassock and holding a Buddhist staff, a middle-aged man wearing armor with faint surges of ferocious qi swirling around him…

“That’s right. Our King… Where is he now?”

One of the Daoist Celestials asked.

He was Daoist Celestial Feng Gu, one of the powerful cultivators of the Antigod Pavillion. He was also one of the Daoist Celestials who had known Chu Kuangren the longest.

“Hello, everyone. Long time no see.”

At that moment, a cheerful voice sounded from outside the great hall.

Chu Kuangren was slowly walking in.

When Daoist Celestial Feng Gu, Daoist Celestial Yan Wu, and the others saw that unfamiliar face, they were taken aback for a moment.

“Although his face is different, his demeanor and Dao aura… It’s certainly similar to our King’s.”

Feng Gu mumbled before stepping forth to give his greetings.

“Greetings, my King.”

“Greetings, almighty King!”

The Daoist Celestials hurriedly went up to greet him.

Chu Kuangren looked at everyone and chuckled. “It’s been a long time, you guys. I’m sorry you had to sleep for that long.”

“It’s all for the greater good of the Firmament Star, my King.”

“That’s right. We’d do it again if we have to.”

“Haha. Putting this aside, my King, I hear that this is your newly reincarnated body, with Chu Kuangren as his name, right? At the end of the day, you’re still different from Cang. If you want me to acknowledge you as my king, you’ll have to convince me with your strength.”

A burst of laughter rang out from a middle-aged man in black armor, who was looking at Chu Kuangren. His eyes were filled with unstoppable fighting intent.

“Innate Ferocious, watch your mouth!”

Luo Shui scolded.

“Our King is still the king we once knew. Disrespecting your superior like that, have you lost your manners?”

Feng Gu could not help but shoot a glare at the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial.

Chu Kuangren simply waved his hand and laughed. “Hahaha. You haven’t changed even after so many years, Innate Ferocious.”

Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial was the first wielder of the Infallible Tormented Physique and was well-known for his thirst for combat. Back then, he was only willing to acknowledge Cang as king after Cang beat him into submission.

In the eyes of the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial, Chu Kuangren was the reincarnation of Cang by name only. To him, these two were not the same person.

If Chu Kuangren wanted Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial to acknowledge him, he would have to convince him with his strength.

Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and tore open a rift into the void. Then, he smiled and said, “Let’s do it in the void, and I’ll beat some manners into you while we’re at it.”

The Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial chuckled. “Please!”

After that, he stepped forth and entered the void.

Inside the void.

Chu Kuangren and Innate Ferocious prepared to battle.

A black spear, flowing with terrifying amounts of innate ferocious qi and Daoist patterns, appeared in Innate Ferocious’s hand.

“Take this, Chu Kuangren!”

The Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial lifted his hand to channel his Emperor qi and attacked with his spear. He did not hold back, immediately displaying his full power as a Daoist Celestial.

Chu Kuangren grinned a little. Without using mind power, a miniverse appeared in the palm of his hand. He grabbed the incoming spear and tugged it roughly, dragging the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial towards him.

A knee instantly slammed into his opponent’s belly. Despite being protected by armor, the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial could not help but cry out in pain.

Chu Kuangren took advantage of that and continued attacking. After getting close to his opponent, he unleashed a quick barrage of attacks, overwhelming his opponents with strikes from his fist, palm, knee, and elbow. Moments later, his opponent’s face was swollen.

Feng Gu, Yan Wu, and the others were stunned. As they recalled, their king had never fought in closed combat before.

‘When did our King become so powerful?’
