Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws



In the Immortal World in Pan Gu Universe, inside a cave blessed with fortune and treasure, sounds of Daoist chimes reverberated everywhere as a long-lost figure slowly walked out from the cave. He wore a white robe as pure as snow and had an ancient white-jaded sword tied to his waist. He also had a Green Lotus mark on his forehead emanating swirls of Daoist Rhyme.

It was Chu Kuangren.

Just as he completed his closed-door meditation, waves of mysterious creation energy spread in all directions, covering millions of kilometers in seconds.

The Hundred Academy, which was closest to Chu Kuangren, was the first location his creation energy reached.

Under the influence of his creation energy, countless Immortal Herbs and Immortal Trees grew and bore fruits. Even a dead tree was transformed into a lush Immortal Tree within moments. It was a shocking sight to behold for everyone.

Countless people were overjoyed and excited as they basked in the creation energy.

"I can feel my bottleneck breaking through soon."

"This power is capable of nourishing all living beings."

"Look over there, guys. That huge, withered tree at the Hundred Academy's front gate has come back to life. This is simply amazing."

"Where did this creation energy come from?"

"It's the Immortal King…"

Upon noticing something, some of the cultivators became even more excited.

Everyone looked toward the origin of that mysterious creation energy and saw Chu Kuangren approaching from the sky. 

As usual, he exuded an unparalleled and extraordinary aura.

Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and the others quickly went up to greet him.

"Congratulations on completing your closed-door meditation, Master."

Sensing the energy within Chu Kuangren's body, Lan Yu noticed that he had grown stronger compared to before his closed-door meditation.

In fact, he had gotten many times stronger.

Chu Kuangren chuckled and looked at Lan Yu and the others. They, too, had improved significantly. Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and the others were now at the Ultimate Arch Gilded Immortal Realm, which meant that they were only one step away from reaching the Embodier Realm.

"Where's Linglong?" Chu Kuangren asked.

"Sister Linglong is still busy handling the Empire's affairs," Lan Yu said.

Now that Chu Kuangren had become the Immortal World's Ruler, he had decided to relocate the Firmament Empire into the Immortal World for it to prosper and advance further. At the same time, he wished to unify the forces in the Immortal World using the Firmament Empire's power.

The entire time, Gu Linglong had been busy carrying out his plans and was doing splendidly.

The fact that he could focus on his closed-door meditation without any worries was because of her unwavering and unyielding support; she always had his back.

At that thought, Chu Kuangren smiled.

Then, his figure disappeared on the spot.

When he reappeared again, he was already in front of a palace — the Immortal King Palace. 

It was built during the past few years and served as Chu Kuangren's main residence, so not many people lived in the palace.

Besides Chu Kuangren, only Gu Linglong, Lan Yu, and his other subordinates lived there.

Inside the Immortal Hall's main hall, Gu Linglong was busy going through some jade scrolls and imperial edicts.

When Gu Linglong saw Chu Kuangren arrive, she raised her head and let out a gentle smile. "My dear husband, you've finally finished your closed-door meditation."

"Yeah."

Chu Kuangren went up and grabbed Gu Linglong by her waist. "Over all these years, you've been busy managing the affairs of the Immortal World and the Empire on my behalf. For that, I'm deeply grateful. "

"No worries. I've already gotten used to it with the Empire back then."

"So, how does being the Queen of the Immortal World feel?" Chu Kuangren asked with a smile.

"Not bad, but it's a little tiring," Gu Linglong replied with a smile.

"Since you're tired, why don't you let Elder Ruyan take over?"

At that, Gu Linglong rolled her eyes. "Elder Ruyan would be furious if she heard you say that."

"True. How about I get Elder Ruyan to set up a council of sorts to help her manage the Empire and the Immortal World better? What do you think?"

"From the Black Heaven Sect to the Firmament Empire, and now even with the Immortal World, Elder Ruyan really has drawn the short end of the stick, huh? I feel sorry for her that she is stuck with someone who delegates everything to her," said Gu Linglong, who felt a little sympathetic toward Elder Ruyan's predicament.

Chu Kuangren smiled wryly. 

Sure enough, the manpower shortage was currently a real issue for him.

Chu Kuangren rubbed his chin as he pondered. Truth be told, he had a plan in mind. When the two universes go to war in the future, he would surely participate. Hence, when that time came, it would be crucial for him to have a powerful group of his own.

He wanted to establish an elite unit that would follow him to battle in the future.

He already had a few candidates in mind for that elite unit.

Lan Yu, Shang Honghua, Jue Wushen, and others would be the most suitable candidates.

As time passed, it had been several months since Chu Kuangren completed his closed-door meditation.

During those few months, the Firmament Empire's relocation into the Immortal World had been smooth sailing.

However, on that very day, Gu Linglong quickly went to Chu Kuangren looking anxious. "My dear, something bad has happened. Elder Ruyan is in danger."

Chu Kuangren's gaze froze. "What happened?"

"While organizing the relocation of the Firmament Empire citizens, Elder Ruyan's group was suddenly ambushed. They were now trapped somewhere in space."

"I got it."

Chu Kuangren nodded. "Don't worry. I'll handle it."

With that, he turned around and left.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Chu Kuangren turned into a ray of light and dashed out of the Immortal World.

…

Somewhere in the vast universe, a warship with thousands on board was suspended in space.

The people on that warship were citizens from the Firmament Empire.

It included the sky-prides and cultivators who were handpicked by Elder Ruyan. They were to be sent to the Immortal World to further improve their cultivation.

However, right now, they were surrounded by an inexplicable black mist that contained countless mysterious runes.

Elder Ruyan ordered her men to attack, but their efforts were futile.

Any Immortal techniques or divine abilities that landed on the black mist would be mysteriously absorbed, making the black mist very difficult to attack.

"What do you people want?"

Elder Ruyan looked at the black mist and asked calmly.

Several humanoid figures walked out from the black mist. They looked at Elder Ruyan and the others with a smile. "We're here to rob you of your riches."

"If it's our riches you're after, I don't mind parting with them. I only ask that you leave us alone after and let us go."

Elder Ruyan knew if those people could trap them easily, it also meant they could kill them if they wished.

Hence, she did not want to do things the hard way.

However, after she handed over all the riches, those people did not have any intention of letting her group go.

"You have a good instinct, but alas, it's a pity that we still can't let you go," a man in black robes said.

Elder Ruyan was not surprised by that.

She knew from the start that her ambushers' purpose was not as simple as to rob them of their riches. They clearly had bigger goals in mind.

That was why Elder Ruyan's group was still trapped.

"These people are trapping us but don't seem intent on killing us. They are using us as bait. Now, who are they baiting to come?

"Our King. It's our King.

"They're after our King."

Elder Ruyan quickly figured everything out.

'Since these people are brave enough to go after our King, they must have something up their sleeve. Otherwise, how could they be so confident? No, I must do something.'

Elder Ruyan looked at the black mist surrounding everyone. Then, she went to find the most powerful cultivators on the warship.

While their ambushers were not paying attention, the powerful cultivators focused their attacks on a certain part of the black mist. A barrage of Immortal techniques and divine abilities erupted.

However, they were unsuccessful.

Their ambushers were far more powerful than them. Especially the young man in long black robes, his power was beyond the likes of them.

"Hmph. It looks like someone is misbehaving."

The young man in black robes sneered as he looked at Elder Ruyan. "Oh well, it doesn't matter if I kill a few of you. I might as well make an example out of you!"

He raised his hand and channeled his treacherous Immortal Core energy. Countless ghouls formed around him, emanating powerful surges of calamitous qi.

As soon as the palm attack was unleashed, it instantly locked onto Elder Ruyan.

"Am I going to die?"

Elder Ruyan looked at the Immortal's Core energy surging toward her. As she could not move at all, she was overwhelmed with despair.

However, her hand suddenly raised itself automatically.

A powerful energy emerged from within her body!
