The first thing that happened after Chu Kuangren lifted the Heavenly Punishment Seal was to obliterate Daoist Sha and the entire Ancient Battlefield. Not a single cultivator was oblivious to the incidence.

Those who mocked and insulted Chu Kuangren were now dead silent.

n.o.body dared to utter another word against him.

Chu Kuangren's shocking palm technique had shattered their power fantasy.

In the Heavenly Golden Palace.

Sage Changqin was overwhelmed by terror after witnessing Chu Kuangren's palm technique.

What a frightening scene.

Chu Kuangren's palm technique was so overpowered that Sage Ruler Changqin dared not imagine just how powerful Chu Kuangren had become!

Such a display of power far surpa.s.sed a Sage Ruler!

Perhaps even a Boundary Emperor would not be able to rival against him!

Had Chu Kuangren ascended into an Emperor already?!

Sage Ruler Changqin doubted for a second.

“I didn't think Chu Kuangren was capable of such powers. He's ranked first in the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard for a reason.”

Xiao Jingchen murmured.

Even Xiao Jingchen had to admit Chu Kuangren's power. Xiao Jingchen knew that even he would not survive if he was at the receiving end of Chu Kuangren's technique instead of Daoist Sha.

At that moment, Xiao Jingchen could not help but feel relieved Chu Kuangren did not show up at his challenge.

He would not want to imagine what would happen to him if Chu Kuangren did show up.

“Hey, this is crazy!”

“Can you believe that this palm technique came from a Sage? I bet even the outlawed sky-prides of the Nine Heavens are incapable of such a feat.”

On top of a mountain range, a young brute gulped as he stared shockingly at the current state of the Ancient Battlefield.

A man who was holding a chiffon folding fan was standing beside the brute. He was just as shocked.

“Is this the doings of the Supreme Sage? We can't underestimate this person. Let's report this to both our clans,” said the man.

The brute youngster nodded.

In another location.

The masked lady in black robes had witnessed the groundbreaking palm technique too. “Holy sh*t! Is that palm even from a Sage?! Chu Kuangren… I didn't think such a person would exist in Firmament Star.”

“Whimper…”

“Pfft. Now you're scared too?! Well, the next time you meet that b*stard, you better make sure you run the h.e.l.l away,” the black-robed lady pouted her lips.

“Come. Let's pay the Acheron Manor a visit. It's time to take back what isn't theirs,” said the black-robed lady as blood petals bloomed out of her Daoist Rhymes on her palm.

Onboard the Illusive Mirage.

The fabric of s.p.a.ce twisted in front of Chu Kuangren before it resumed its steady state. Chu Kuangren smiled contently. “This Spatial Conveyor Skill is indeed helpful.”

The Spatial Conveyor Skill was a G.o.d-tier power that Chu Kuangren previously won from the Fantasy Roulette. It was capable of connecting two points in s.p.a.ce-time and transferring elements between them.

It was this divine skill that Chu Kuangren had used to unleash a terrifying palm technique despite being millions of kilometers away.

Chu Kuangren had recited the Tathagata Rebirth Mantra in the Illusive Mirage and used the Spatial Conveyor Skill to release the Emperor Technique's energy above the Ancient Battlefield.

It was such a useful and convenient skill to have.

“Besides, the power of my Daoist Rhymes has exceeded my expectations. Could this be… the workings of the Heavenly Punishment?”

Chu Kuangren muttered as he stared into his own palms.

There were still remnants of Daoist Rhymes lingering around his palm, and they were unlike any that Chu Kuangren had encountered before. It was not the difference in power but the extremely unique composition.

It was as if this form of Daoist Rhyme was capable of suppressing all other forms of Daoist Rhymes.

Even the Emperor Daoist Rhymes from the Emperor Suppressing All Ability might not be able to dominate over Chu Kuangren's Daoist Rhymes. It was because Chu Kuangren could now control… the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes!

The Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes were a source of power that was granted to Chu Kuangren after he gained insights into the Heavenly Punishment Seal. It was the biggest achievement he had reaped from so many years of effort.

By infusing the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes into his attacks, his combat strength had increased significantly. It was as if Chu Kuangren now carried the Heavenly Might… to punish his opponents on heaven's behalf!

Chu Kuangren recollected his aura and s.h.i.+fted his attention to the Innate Ferocious Altar. Only then did he realize that the White-Robed General had long lost his consciousness. Chu Kuangren asked Lan Yu, “How's he doing so far?”

“He was hanging on tightly at first. However, he fainted after absorbing all of the ferocious qi from the altar yesterday,” Lan Yu answered.

“Alright. I understand.”

Chu Kuangren nodded.

He activated his Eye of Revelation to scan the White-Robed General. “Foundation recovered, cultivator's physique is currently undergoing transformation. Current progress is at ninety-eight percent…”

“It's almost done.”

Not long after.

When the Eye of Revelation revealed that the White-Robed General's progress had reached a hundred percent, he abruptly opened his eyes, unleas.h.i.+ng a surge of ferocious qi that spread across a hundred-kilometer radius!

The clouds tumbled swiftly in its presence.

That burst of energy was no weaker than that of Daoist Sha.

No, it was far stronger than his.

“The combination of a Sage Ruler cultivation base and a complete Infallible Tormented Physique… Now the White-Robed General shall be one of the strongest cultivators in Firmament Star!”

Chu Kuangren smiled.

Although he also possessed the Infallible Tormented Physique, it had yet to reach its complete form. However, it no longer mattered as much to Chu Kuangren.

The Supreme Sage body was more impressive than any other physiques.

So much so that Chu Kuangren no longer needed to pursue the other Daoist Physiques.

“It looks like I'm in your debt again. My loyalty to you precedes my life.”

The White-Robed General walked down from the altar and came to Chu Kuangren. His tone was calm yet filled with the utmost determination.

Chu Kuangren remained quiet. To earn the White-Robed General's loyalty had definitely made this detour to the Ancient Battlefield a worthy one.

From today onwards, the Black Heaven Sect had a new Sage Ruler!

Even without Chu Kuangren, few would dare provoke the orthodoxy now.

“Come. Let's return to the Black Heaven Sect. It's time to see your descendants.”

Chu Kuangren said.

He stored the Illusive Mirage into his Yin and Yang Ring.

Then, with one hand on Lan Yu and the other hand on the White-Robed General, Chu Kuangren chuckled and said, “No matter what I do, don't resist.”

Although they did not understand what he meant, Lan Yu and the White-Robed General nodded as they placed faith in Chu Kuangren.

Following that, a surge of mythical spatial energy engulfed the trio before they instantly vanished on the spot.

When the trio reappeared, they arrived just outside the Astonis.h.i.+ng Cloud of Seas Formation, millions of kilometers away from where they had vanished.

The teleportation power surely shocked Lan Yu and the White-Robed General.

“Spatial energy?! Brother Chu, I didn't know you have mastered such a form of energy,” said the White-Robed General in awe.

“Heh. I do know a fair share of tricks.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. He had used the Spatial Conveyor Skill to transport the three of them to the outer parameter of the Astonis.h.i.+ng Cloud of Seas Formation.

The only reason why Chu Kuangren did not teleport directly into the Black Heaven Sect was due to the Astonis.h.i.+ng Cloud of Seas Formation's unique properties. It was capable of sealing an entire region both from the inside and out.

It was the same reason why the Purplevoid Sage could not escape with the Great s.h.i.+ft Talisman during the great war on Black Heaven Sect.

Moreover, Chu Kuangren realized that using the Spatial Conveyor Skill to teleport a person exhausted more energy than teleporting an object.

After all, humans could sometimes resist its effect, which may hinder the effects of his skill.

If it were not for the complete trust that Lan Yu and the White-Robed General had placed in Chu Kuangren, he would have had a much tougher time teleporting them to an exact coordinate.

Of course, if Chu Kuangren's power far surpa.s.sed his subject's power, any resistance would be of no use.

All in all, Chu Kuangren was increasingly content with this Spatial Conveyor Skill. He felt there was still much-untapped potential to this ability.
