Chapter 728: Novice Stage Stellar Undying Physique, Staring At A Star

Universal Cauldron Physique!

Bring it all to me!

Chu Kuangren activated his Universal Cauldron Physique once again!

This physique could rapidly absorb all forms of natural energies in this world, which of course, included celestial energy!

With the help of his Universal Cauldron Physique, Chu Kuangren was able to digest the celestial energies even quicker, and Asteroid Seven began to crumble within.

If one were to look at Asteroid Seven from above, they would observe the asteroid shuddering while magma spurted out of the fissures that formed all over its surface

The elements that formed the composite of this asteroid began to converge into its core. Typically, such enormous convergence of energies would result in an implosion of the celestial object.

However, it was not the case for Asteroid Seven. Instead, it was shrinking in size.

The mighty elements disappeared after reaching the asteroids core as if they were devoured by a celestial beast. Needless to say, the beast in question was none other than Chu Kuangren.

While Asteroid Seven was being refined, the entire asteroid belt felt an unprecedented wave of disturbance. Many asteroids and comets within the belt began colliding with each other.

Some of the celestial objects closest to Asteroid Seven were even pulled in by Chu Kuangrens gravitational force.

Another month had pa.s.sed.

What was once Asteroid Seven was now reduced to scattering s.p.a.ce dust. Meanwhile, a white-clothed figure sat with his knee crossed in the air and his body illuminated by a glittering display of starlight.

From afar, Chu Kuangren looked like a s.h.i.+ny star of its own.

Suddenly.

Chu Kuangren opened his eyes, and the starlight faded away.

As he stood up, he felt a surge in oppressive energy along with his movements, causing the void around him to shudder violently.

In the distance, a ma.s.sive comet that spanned several thousand kilometers across was charging towards Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren remained upright in the air and gently lifted his hand. Then, he clenched his fist and struck the comet with his fist.

An explosion ensued!

All of the comets were reduced into countless floating debris!

The debris floated past and hit him, who was standing still on the spot. Nevertheless, it was too small to harm Chu Kuangren.

This body is not at the Novice Stage yet, but it has managed to produce such terrifying powers. Who knows how powerful itll be once it reaches the Perfected Stage?!

Chu Kuangren was excited.

By then, perhaps all it took would be a single fist technique to shatter an entire star.

Perhaps he could finish off a Daoist Celestial in the same manner too!

Or even killing an Immortal!

There must be other asteroids around here for me to absorb. Lets upgrade the Stellar Undying Body to its Novice Stage before I head back!

Chu Kuangren murmured.

His Emperor Thought was cast over the s.p.a.ce before countless information about nearby celestial objects swarmed his mind.

He locked onto a lifeless asteroid and dashed into the distance.

Another month pa.s.sed again.

Within this month, Chu Kuangren had absorbed multiple asteroids into his body. Although their celestial energies were not as ma.s.sive as Asteroid Seven, it was enough to progress his Stellar Undying Body into its Novice Stage.

Novice, Expert, Peak, Perfected the four stages of the Stellar Undying Body. In order to reach the Expert Stage, Ill now have to consume ten times more energy than it took to reach the Novice Stage!

The energy required to reach Peak Stage will be unimaginable. As for Perfected Hm, I wonder if I can reach the Perfected Stage by absorbing an entire star?

Chu Kuangren stared at a giant red star in the distance, known to many as the sun.

Cultivators had nothing but the utmost respect for the sun.

Those who were highly skilled knew that a star like the sun was the origin of all energies. Their abilities to cultivate were entirely reliant on the suns ability to produce heat into its environment.

In other words, without the sun, Firmament Star would not be able to produce lifeforms, and they would not exist as a result.

Yet, the sun that they wors.h.i.+pped so devotedly was now a potential food for Chu Kuangren!

Sigh, fine. The sun is the energy source of this solar system. While I dont know if there are other lifeforms in this system, the lifeforms in Firmament Star wont be spared either.

Chu Kuangren shook his head and said. He decided that once he had developed until a certain stage, he would travel out of this system and into the vast universe in search of potential stars to devour.

Little did the people of Firmament Star know that they had just been spared from a potential catastrophe.

Alright, time to head back to Stronghold Seventeen.

Chu Kuangren muttered and summoned a wars.h.i.+p.

It was given to him by Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade before the latter left.

Upon boarding the wars.h.i.+p, Chu Kuangren unfolded the map and set sail towards Stronghold Seventeen.

In Stronghold Seventeen.

The command headquarters.

Forefather, have the upper ranks made their decision?

Shang Honghua asked Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade.

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade nodded. After a round of discussion by the Heavenly Imperial Council with guidance by the Daoist Celestials, weve decided that the battle loots will be distributed among Stronghold Sixteen, Stronghold Seventeen, and Stronghold Eighteen.

Of course, well get the largest slice of the pie.

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade chuckled happily.

Why would he not be?

This stronghold leader had personally fought in this battle, and while Chu Kuangren was technically a filibuster, his residence in the command headquarters had made him a member of Stronghold Seventeen. There was no denying that his stronghold was the biggest contributor to this battles success.

It only made sense for them to take the largest portion of the reward.

What about Brother Chus combat merits?

Shang Honghua asked.

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade looked mischievously at Shang Honghua and said, You seem to care a lot about Brother Chu.

Shang Honghua was trying to avoid his eye contact. Why would I not? He saved our lives.

Is that it?

What else can it be? Shang Honghua said.

Sigh, such a shame.

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade sighed. I thought youve finally decided to put down your ego and live out the most romantic story of your life.

Forefather, what are you talking about? This is impossible. I wont think about any of these before I have my vengeance. Besides, Brother Chu is already taken. Shang Honghua sounded disheartened towards the end.

What? Hes taken?

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade was astounded too. He then lamented, Thats too bad. I admire Brother Chu a lot and thought that only he would be a perfect match for you.

Forget about it. Back to the question. What did the upper ranks say about Chu Kuangrens combat merits? Shang Honghua asked.

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade pointed one finger upwards.

Shang Honghua was shocked.

That many?!

Yep. Soon, his name will be updated on the battle leaderboard. Besides, the Heavenly Imperial Council has also arranged a special reward for him. Itll be delivered personally to him when the time comes.
