Black Heaven Sect, inside the Towering Heaven Palace.
Chu Kuangren was in closed-door ditation, refining the Divine Emblem. After experiencing several consecutive transformations, he could vaguely feel a sense of urgency.
His enemies were getting increasingly stronger.
Back then, the opponents that he faced were only sky-prides or beings below the Emperor Realm. Now, he had to face the Gods from the ancient past!
He must hasten his pace in becoming stronger.
Ten days later.
Chu Kuangren had completely absorbed and refined that Divine Emblem. With that, his cultivation realm had improved massively, from Rank Four Initial Emperor Realm to Rank Nine Initial Emperor Realm!
He had improved by a whole five ranks!
Bear in mind, he has not been an Emperor for long!
If people were to know of his rate of improvent, they would be utterly shocked.
“The energy within this Divine Emblem is just way too imnse. If I can get my hands on a couple more and absorb them, won’t I be able to advance into a Heavenly Imperial?”
Chu Kuangren exclaid in awe.
This Divine Emblem was sothing that only Gods could absorb.
Yet, Chu Kuangren had disproven that by being an anomaly.
“The ergence of the Gods may present a threat, but to , it’s a great opportunity since the various Godly Secret Realms contain nurous treasures. Putting the other stuff aside, just this Divine Emblem alone would suffice. Other people may not be able to utilize it, but I can!”
“This will be a huge turnaround.”
Chu Kuangren muttered under his breath.
After advancing to Rank Nine Initial Emperor Realm, Chu Kuangren did not imdiately co out of his closed-door ditation. Instead, he remained inside and continued studying the energy from Heavenly Punishnt Dao patterns.
These Heavenly Punishnt Dao patterns were a ans that could restrict the Gods’ prowess, and it would be one of the most important utilities he had in the days to co. Hence, he must spend so ti understanding it thoroughly.
Another ten days passed by.
On this day.
Chu Kuangren resud studying the Heavenly Punishnt Dao patterns as per usual. Yet all of a sudden, he felt the Dao pattern at the very heart of his palm shudder.
It seed like so sort of reaction to sothing.
“What was that?”
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised.
Then, he received news from Elder Ruyan.
“Sect Leader, soone is here to see you.”
“I got it.”
In Longevity Hall sat a man who was wearing a long white robe and had a faint spiritual veil covering his face. The energy on this man was sowhat ethereal and elusive, as though he would vanish at any given mont.
However, when Chu Kuangren arrived, he looked at this man and felt he could see this man before him with distinct clarity. On top of that, that strange reaction to his body’s Heavenly Punishnt Dao patterns beca more intense.
Through all these signs, Chu Kuangren already had a rough guess as to who this person was.
“You’re a Heavenly Torntor?”
“Yes.”
The white-robed man, a Heavenly Torntor whom countless people feared, stared at Chu Kuangren. Nobody could see what expression he wore underneath that spiritual veil. However, Chu Kuangren could sense the other’s curiosity toward him.
“I heard that you possess Heavenly Punishnt Dao patterns. May I have a look?”
The Heavenly Torntor cut straight to the point and revealed the aim of his visit here.
Chu Kuangren raised his arm to show a piece of Dao pattern swirling in his palm. Upon seeing that, the Heavenly Torntor’s body quivered slightly.
For so reason, Chu Kuangren could sense that sothing was odd with the Heavenly Torntor in front of him. It was as if the latter was utterly astonished.
Then, this Heavenly Torntor slowly lifted his own arm to show a piece of Heavenly Punishnt Dao pattern in his palm.
However, Chu Kuangren noticed that the Heavenly Punishnt Dao pattern on Heavenly Torntor’s palm was distinct from his. The latter’s looked more like… a rune?!
“The fusion of Heavenly Punishnt Dao pattern and rune? I’ve never thought about that.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
These days, he had been studying Heavenly Punishnt Dao patterns non-stop, and now, this Heavenly Torntor’s Dao pattern had given him inspiration.
“No way. How is this possible…”
“It’s not just any Heavenly Punishnt Dao pattern but the fully authentic, truly original Heavenly Punishnt Dao pattern. It is the most primitive form of the Heavenly Punishnt Dao energy!”
The Heavenly Torntor looked extrely shocked. He glanced at Chu Kuangren, his voice trembling as he said, “How did you manage to get this Dao pattern?”
As such, Chu Kuangren briefly explained the tale of him encountering the Heavenly Punishnt Seal.
“So that’s how…”
“The Human King has never inford us about this.”
The Heavenly Torntor mumbled before looking at Chu Kuangren with mixed emotions. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he was beginning to take this person in front of him as the figure that he worshipped most.
Suddenly, an outrageous idea popped up in his mind.
‘Has the Human King co alive?’
‘No. No way. ‘
‘Such a thing is impossible.’
The Heavenly Torntor shook his head, ditching that idea from his mind.
He said to Chu Kuangren, “I will now be standing guard over the Firmant Star and put the Gods’ powers under control. Since you possess the Heavenly Punishnt Dao patterns, the most primitive Heavenly Punishnt Dao energy at that, feel free to approach if you have anything that you require help for.”
“I shall thank you for that then.”
Chu Kuangren gave him a respectful nod.
That was a Heavenly Torntor’s promise.
With a Heavenly Torntor’s promise, not even those Daoist Celestials would dare do Chu Kuangren dirty.
After that, Chu Kuangren briefly conversed with this Heavenly Torntor.
He found out that this Heavenly Torntor was called the Seventh Torntor, and that there was more than one Heavenly Torntor in this world. Besides the Seventh Torntor, the rest of the Heavenly Torntors were still nursing the injuries they suffered from the Great Panhuman Revolt during the archaic ancient era.
…
“The most primitive form of Heavenly Punishnt energy? I never thought that in these endless ages, there would be another person aside from the Human King who could master such power. Who is this Chu Kuangren really?”
After leaving the Black Heaven Sect, Seventh Torntor muttered as he looked up into the sky.
Then, he seed to have recalled sothing. “Divine Predictor, I must go and look for him to ask about Chu Kuangren’s origins. I might have so findings there.”
The Divine Predictor was one of the most mysterious beings in all of Firmant Star.
Yet for a Heavenly Torntor, it was not hard at all to locate this person. In fact, they had known each other for a very long ti now.
Divine Predictor was very surprised to see the Seventh Torntor. “My gosh, isn’t this the great Seventh Torntor? I can’t believe you’ve co to the Firmant. The Gods have made a commotion, but with you here, I can now rest my mind.”
“I’m here today to ask you about Chu Kuangren.”
The Seventh Torntor asked directly.
The Divine Predictor did not seem surprised at all, as if he had anticipated this question long ago. He shook his head in response. “If you ask about other people, including the Daoist Celestials, I would be more than happy to fill you in with everything you wish to know. But as for this person, I am unable to provide you with that.”
“What do you an?”
“This person’s existence is not limited to both the past and the present. Even now, his fate seems to spread far beyond the ends of ti, making him impossible to fathom.”
Upon hearing that, the Seventh Torntor frowned. “How is that possible?”
“He’s an anomaly.”
“This man wields Heavenly Punishnt energy. Did you know that?”
“Oh, is he an enforcer that the Human King left behind?”
The Divine Predictor was slightly taken aback.
He had a certain understanding toward Heavenly Punishnt energy.
“No, the Heavenly Punishnt energy that he has is the most primitive form. I’ve only ever seen such energy on the Human King himself.”
The Seventh Torntor said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the Divine Predictor gasped, and his expression turned incredibly solemn. “What you’re saying… Are you certain?”
“Do you think I’d joke on matters like this?”
The Divine Predictor dished out a bronze mirror and then chanted a mantra, which he cast inside the mirror. Countless runes began to flash across the mirror’s surface.
“What are you doing?”
“This bronze mirror is an inheritance from the Phantom Valley’s First School of Physiognomy, where I ca from. It records the fates of every great figure from the past till present… There it is.”
“What is it?”
“I did a brief search on every record related to the Human King’s fate. There’s only one statent summarizing it… His existence is not limited to both the past and present, free from the restrictions of fate. This description… is similar to Chu Kuangren’s.”
“A nearly identical fate and similar Heavenly Punishnt energy. Adding that to the vibe he’s been giving , could he really be…”
Seventh Torntor was now at a loss for words.
