Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

The appearance of the portal to another universe struck fear in everyone's heart.

Fortunately, Bei Ming arrived and single-handedly wiped out all the invaders, boosting everyone's confidence.

Then, the Immortal World sent a group of scouts into the portal for exploration.

They found out that there were quite a number of people from another universe active inside. It also involved an ancient secret realm that connected to the Deep Void, and people from other universes used it to open up a portal connecting to their universe.

"Not only did those from the other universe send invaders to our world, but they are also exploring the secret realm!"

"The secret realm belongs to us, not them! They're being presumptuous!"

"We have to fight back and reclaim our secret realm! We cannot allow such presumptions to happen in our world! It's time to send people inside to fight them!"

After a deliberate discussion among the great ones, they decided to send people inside.

Since the invaders from the other universe had the advantage of numbers, it forced the great ones to do a mass drafting across the Immortal World.

With Pan Gu Universe's safety at stake and the temptation of exploring a secret realm with many unknown treasures, the mass drafting was a success.

Many cultivators volunteered to enter the secret realm and fight the invaders from the other universe.

It included many sky-prides and Prodigies.

Unfortunately, Chu Kuangren was in the Underworld, cultivating and refining his Soul Crystals. Therefore, he was unaware of the invasion from the other universe.

He was absorbing the energy of the Soul Crystals to boost his soul energy.

Chu Kuangren opened his eyes, and a Soul Flower bloomed beautifully above his head.

It had broken through to the Twelfth grade!

It was the highest point that an Arch Gilded Immortal could achieve with the Soul Flower, but Chu Kuangren, who had manifested a Twenty-fourth-grade Life's Core Flower before, knew that it was not the true limit.

"Twelfth-grade Soul Flower? Not bad."

Chu Kuangren smiled as he exited the Ghost Emperor Palace.

As soon as he stepped outside, he realized the Underworld had seen a surge in dead souls.

The whole place was like a busy machine working tirelessly.

The Naihe Bridge and Revival Street were extremely crowded.

Even outside the Ghastly Checkpoint, there was a long line waiting to enter.

Chu Kuangren frowned. "What happened? Why are so many people dead all of a sudden?"

One of the Underworld Soldiers heard his question and answered, "My Lord, there seems to be a war going on in the living world. That's why we're seeing a surge of dead souls."

"A war? With this number of dead souls, could it be that the Overlord-level forces are fighting each other?" Chu Kuangren muttered.

"Release me! Release me!"

"Shut up! You are dead, and you are to proceed with reincarnation!"

"Screw you! I'm not from your Pan Gu Universe! Don't even think about making me reincarnate in your universe!"

A little commotion happened further away.

A red-haired Arch Gilded Immortal dead soul was causing a scene.

However, due to the reincarnation mechanism's power, he could not unleash his cultivation power and was soon apprehended by a group of Underworld Soldiers.

He was forced to the ground, but it did not dampen his fierce temper.

"I'm from the Central Heaven Universe! Get the hell away from me–"

"I don't care which universe you are from. If you come to our Underworld, you will proceed with reincarnation as we instruct you!"

Chu Kuangren heard the term 'Central Heaven Universe', and it caught his attention.

"Bring him over."

The Underworld Soldiers brought him to Chu Kuangren.

"Ghost Emperor."

The Underworld Soldiers made a fist salute.

The red-haired dead soul's eyes gleamed when he learned of Chu Kuangren's identity. He bellowed, "Ghost Emperor of Pan Gu Universe's Underworld, release me, or you will suffer when my Central Heaven Universe conquers this place! Even if you're the Ghost Emperor, you can't escape!"

"How dare you!"

The Underworld Soldier hit the back of the dead soul's knee with the staff and forced him to his knees.

"Ghost Emperor, you better–"

The red-haired dead soul wanted to continue, but Chu Kuangren released his Ghost Emperor's authority as he narrowed his eyes.

The red-haired dead soul was slammed to the ground!

"I don't care who you are. When you arrive in the Underworld, everything about you is under my control. Though, I don't mind sending you to the Eighteen Hell for fun," Chu Kuangren said.

The red-haired dead soul was silenced when he met Chu Kuangren's frosty gaze.

"Now, I ask, you answer. How did you appear in my Underworld?"

"This is the Underworld. Of course, I'm here when I'm dead," the red-haired dead soul said with a scoff.

"You know that's not what I'm asking…"

Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign at the deal soul and cut off one of his arms, causing him to scream in pain.

The red-haired dead soul then revealed everything about the invasion from another universe.

Chu Kuangren pondered deeply after learning about the situation.

Invasion from another universe?

How did it happen so soon?

Something felt strange. If it were an invasion from another universe, where a war between universes broke out, the number of dead souls that entered the Underworld would not be so few.

The whole Underworld would be crowded!

If it was not an all-out war, why did the people from another universe open up a portal in the Immortal World? Why went through all the trouble and not invade?

Chu Kuangren continued to ponder.

Regardless, he had to visit the portal to learn more.

"How could I miss something so interesting," he said with a smile.

He then ordered the High Priest to lock up all the dead souls from another universe, especially the generals.

They were to be interrogated for information regarding their universe and the objective of opening the portal.

Anything useful would do.

The High Priest accepted the task.

With that, Chu Kuangren left the Underworld and returned to the living world, which was the Euphoria Pure Land.

He went to talk to Buddha Yun Lan about that matter.

Buddha Yun Lan was aware of the other universe, but not much information was provided.

Hence, Chu Kuangren decided to leave for the portal. After a glance at the recovering Shi Ying, he left Euphoria Pure Land.

His Immortal Consciousness expanded across the land to gather all kinds of information regarding the other universe.

Soon, he arrived before the portal and saw someone familiar.

"Senior Bei Ming."

"Oh, kid! You're here!"

"How're things?" Chu Kuangren asked.

"How should I put this?"

Bei Ming could not help but furrowed his brows. "I feel like something is off. The portal isn't strong enough for an Embodier to pass through, and it's rather inefficient for those on the other side. With me and the other Arch Gilded Immortals here, they're coming here only to die. Yet, they continue to send men here. It's strange."

Bei Ming threw a punch out as he explained, blasting the newly arrived army into dust.

Chu Kuangren noticed that Bei Ming's fist energy contained Daoist law.

Bei Ming had ascended into the Embodier Realm.

He felt happy for the man but could not wrap his head around the situation.

He looked at the portal and said, "Why don't we go have a look inside? Maybe we can find out what they're trying to do."
