Chapter 712: Superb-tier Chaos Emblem, A Commander’s Mistake

“Brother Chu has a family? Impossible!”

“I feel like I’ve just broken up.”

“Ah, who’s so lucky to be able to be Brother Chu’s Daoist companion? Sob. Why can’t it be me…”

“There’s no way. Brother Chu, you belong to everyone…”

After learning that Chu Kuangren had a family, the members of the Reds.h.i.+rt Army were saddened, and they all shut themselves out on the spot.

Even Shang Honghua was shocked and saddened to hear that. However, she took a deep breath and said, “That’s good. Now, I can get rid of those thoughts and focus only on my cultivation.”

Having a st.u.r.dy Daoist core, she quickly recovered from her sorrow. As for the others whose Daoist cores were not as strong, they envied and hated Chu Kuangren’s unknown Daoist companion instead.

Soon, everyone gathered around him and started bombarding him with questions.

“Brother Chu, what’s the name of your Daoist companion?”

“Is she as beautiful as our Commodore Junior?”

“Where is she now? Brother Chu, are you making this up to mess with us??”

Chu Kuangren was overwhelmed by their series of questions.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up with delight upon sensing an energy fluctuation coming from afar. “This aura… It’s a Superb-tier Chaos Emblem!”

He let out a joyful grin.

That was because the Chaos Emblems he had found in the past few days were only Low-tier and Mid-tier ones. None of them were High-tier ones, much less a Superb-tier Chaos Emblem.

A Superb-tier Chaos Emblem might not allow him to ascend to a Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial, but at the very least, he could gain huge progress in his Low-rank Heavenly Imperial Realm.

“However, there are several auras nearby the Superb-tier Chaos Emblem. It seems like a fight is happening there,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

He looked at Shang Honghua and the Reds.h.i.+rt Army members and said, “There’s movement over there. I’ll go and check it out first. You guys stay put and be careful.”

Using his Spatial Conveyor Skill, Chu Kuangren immediately disappeared from the spot, and the remaining troops of the Reds.h.i.+rt Army sighed.

‘What a wonderful man he is.’

‘Too bad his heart already belongs to someone else.’

…

Asteroid Seven, somewhere inside a mountain range.

A group of cultivators was fighting an intense battle.

It was a battle between the Firmament Star’s humans and Blood Tribe cultivators. On a mountain peak located in the center of where they were battling, a two-meter tall gray stone was overflowing with strands of Chaotic qi.

“Commander, let’s retreat for now.”

One of the Firmament Star cultivators said to a huge middle-aged man.

That huge man was armed with a great sword, and he looked at the Chaos Emblem with an unwilling gaze.

“Never. I must get that Chaos Emblem no matter what! Whoever deserts from battle shall meet the edge of my sword!” that huge middle-aged man yelled.

That cultivator beside him gritted his teeth and replied, “But the Blood Tribe seems to have gained the upper hand now. We can’t hold on much longer.”

“Try to hold on as long as you can. I’ll get the Chaos Emblem, and then we’ll retreat.” That huge middle-aged man said while rus.h.i.+ng toward that Chaos Emblem.

“D*mn this greedy and good for nothing commander!”

That cultivator secretly cursed. However, there was nothing he could do to stop his commander.

Looking at his troops who had fallen in their battle with the Blood Tribe, he roared and charged into the battlefield along with a group of men.

The huge middle-aged man rushed towards the Chaos Emblem but soon found a blood-red figure standing before him the closer he got to it.

After unleas.h.i.+ng a punch that instantly forced the huge middle-aged man several hundred meters back, that blood-red figure stood on the Chaos Emblem.

It was an extremely handsome man from the Blood Tribe. He was wearing blood-colored armor and armed with a dark red long-handled saber.

“Heavenly Imperial human, if you want this Chaos Emblem, you’ll have to ask me first.” The Blood Tribe man smiled playfully.

“D*mn it. It’s a Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperial.”

The huge middle-aged man’s face turned grim.

Without another word, the Emperor qi on his body surged. Countless lines of Daoist patterns spread outward and intertwined in the void, forming a miniverse. Upon seeing this, the Blood Tribe man also unleashed his Heavenly Imperial miniverse.

As the two miniverses collide, the void surrounding them was suddenly distorted.

“Attack!”

There was only a small difference between both of their cultivation levels.

So despite deploying their miniverses, none of them could overpower one another.

Seeing this, the huge middle-aged man rushed forth while channeling his Emperor qi and Daoist patterns into his long sword. Then, he unleashed a tremendous sword qi that was five hundred meters long!

Strands of Emperor qi and Daoist patterns swirled within that mighty sword qi.

“Remarkable!”

The Blood Tribe man chuckled and unleashed a similar slash with his saber.

In a split second, the blood-colored saber ray collided with the sword qi.

In a clash between Emperor qi and Emperor qi, Daoist Pattern and Daoist Pattern, the surrounding void between them collapsed while the mountains nearby began to crumble.

With that, the Chaos Emblem was sent flying before it eventually fell on the ground far away.

The huge middle-aged man was going to go for it but was stopped by the Blood Tribe man. The both of them had no choice but to continue their fight.

Meanwhile, nearby them.

The battle between their cultivators grew more intense.

The Firmament Star’s humans were already at a disadvantage. With their commander, the huge middle-aged man, occupied by the Blood Tribe’s Heavenly Imperial, they could not receive the support they needed.

As time went by, more and more humans in battle began to fall. With that, the chance they had to retreat now dwindled as they were surrounded by the Blood Tribe’s forces. All of them were struggling to survive.

“D*mn it! D*mn it!” The huge middle-aged man kept on swinging his sword. However, no matter what techniques he used, he could not defeat the Blood Tribe man.

“Haha, you fool! If it weren’t for your greediness to obtain this Chaos Emblem, you could’ve retreated with your men and survived. But now, there’s no chance for you to do that anymore.” The Blood Tribe man laughed.

A powerful surge of strength qi erupted from his body before he slashed out with his saber. The blood-colored saber ray in the shape of a crescent moon tore through the void and sent that huge middle-aged man flying several hundred meters away.

Spit…

With his Emperor’s body injured, the huge middle-aged man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he looked at that Blood Tribe man with disbelief. “Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial! I can’t believe you’re a Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial!”

“That’s right. I was toying with you earlier. If I were to reveal my true cultivation level at the start, I would’ve scared you away. How can I wipe you guys out then?”

The Blood Tribe man sneered.

The rest of the Firmament Star’s humans started to lose hope.

With a Mid-rank Heavenly Imperial and so many Blood Tribe troops around, they had no chance of defeating them even if they were in full health.

Not to mention, a bunch of surviving troops like them.

“D*mn that pig-headed commander. I should’ve asked him to give the order to retreat earlier. Yet, he was blinded by that Chaos Emblem and couldn’t even access the situation at all.”

That cultivator who requested to retreat earlier secretly cursed.

On every battlefield, having a good commander was crucial because every decision he made would often affect the lives of countless soldiers under him.

It was clear that these men did not have a good commander to lead them.

“Now, you can die.”

The Blood Tribe man yelled as the power of his miniverse grew stronger and overpowered the huge middle-aged man.

However, just as he was about to kill that huge middle-aged man in one go, spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared in the void.

A figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield, standing beside that Chaos Emblem. Then, in front of everyone, he kept that Chaos Emblem in his Yin and Yang ring.

Everyone was dumbfounded by what they saw.

‘Who is this guy?’

‘When and how did he appear?’

Those two questions immediately popped into everyone’s minds.

As for that Blood Tribe man, cold murderous intent shot out from his eyes when he saw that person. “I don’t care who he is. Whether he’s a cultivator from the Firmament Star or one of my Blood Tribe cultivators, he’s f*cking dead!”

The Blood Tribe man unleashed an attack towards Chu Kuangren from a distance.
