Chapter 727 - First Time In Kunxu (1/2)

The Heavenly Thunder Sect was a major force in the Realm of Kunxu.

Although the sect’s ranking was unimpressive, no one could question the strength of the Earth Level Deity Hans.h.i.+. Therefore, his downfall in the mortal world had caused panic in the Realm of Kunxu.

It wasn’t long before people in Kunxu saw countless rays of light streaming toward the Yuntian Palace at the center of the realm. Each light represented an Earth Level Deity; they were gathering at the Yuntian Palace to discuss the implications of the latest development.

Meanwhile, the low level cultivators in Kunxu also started to boil over after they heard the news.

“Have you heard? Earth Level Deity Hans.h.i.+’s Spirit Tablet is broken. He was killed in the mortal world.”

“Heavens! First it was Tian Mingzi, Earth Level Deity Leixing, and Changhe Sword Immortal… now it’s the Sect master Hans.h.i.+. What is going on in the mortal world? Which mortal could have made such quick work of an Overlord in Kunxu?”

“A lot of things must have changed over there.”

Cultivators in Kunxu discussed the development among each other.

Over the last few thousand years, the Gate of Heaven had been opened many times to allow Kunxu Cultivators to travel to Earth. Nearly all of them considered themselves much more superior and enlightened when compared to the mortals on Earth.

This was the first time for Overlords in the Realm of Kunxu to be killed in the mortal world, pulling the rug from under everyone.

Inside the Snow G.o.d Palace…

Lu Yanxue was wearing a plain outfit, but it couldn’t hide her exquisite features. She was taken aback when she heard news about the mortal world in the chattering of her sect sisters.

“I wonder how Xiao Wu and Chen Fan are doing,” Lu Yanxue thought to herself.

“Lu Yanxue, the Sutra Library is still messy, clean it again. Hurry!” a woman with a thin face and tall stature said in a cold voice.

Lu Yanxue lowered her head and replied obediently, “Yes, Sect Sister Qi.”

Even as she shuffled out of the grounds quietly, she heard snide remarks behind her, “She’s just a mortal, who does she think she is? I would have her working outside the temple among the lowest-tiered disciples if it weren’t for Aunt-Master Hong.”

“Senior Sister, be careful with what you say. She has the Ice Spirit Root, she is special.”

“Hehe, she’ll become an Earth Level Deity if the sun rises from the west.”

As the sneers and snickers got louder and more obnoxious, Lu Yanxue lowered her head and left without saying a word.

Meanwhile, at the Yuntian Palace…

The palace grounds were paved with fire jade, and its ma.s.sive ceiling was supported by pillars embellished with golden dragons. Smoke from incense burners lingered around the exposed beams. An angry Earth Level Deity shouted hotly, “Let me take the Dharma Treasures from all sects and storm the mortal world.”

“I will go with you. We can’t let our beloved disciples’ deaths stay unavenged.”

“The Heavenly Thunder Sect will follow you as well.”

Meanwhile, the sect master who sat at the head of the table looked at each of them, observing the flickering concern in their eyes.

They were still trying to come to terms with what had just happened. The Earth Level Deity Hans.h.i.+ had been a force to be reckoned with, and his sudden death told them that things weren’t that simple.

However, they were used to sitting on their high horses. Content breeds arrogance. They were convinced that as long as they reopened the Gate of Heaven, the cultivators in the Realm of Kunxu would annihilate their mortal opponents.

“All sects should go back and prepare for the reopening of the Gate of Heaven. We shall trample over the mortal’s dead bodies,” Cloud Heaven Thearch said. He sat on top of a high platform and his body was shrouded by a thick mist.

“Will do!”

The Earth Level Deities nodded.

Fire burned in their eyes. Chen Fan had aggravated them again and again, killing many of their peers. They anxiously waited for the reopening of the portal to rain death and destruction onto earth as revenge.

However, unknown to the cultivators in Kunxu, Chen Fan was already on his way to find them.

“Susu!”

Inside the portal between the Realm of Kunxu and Earth, a wash of azure light darted left and right, trying to avoid the deadly energy swirls.

Chen Fan carefully flew past a few deadly energy cl.u.s.ters as he thought to himself, “I am still not powerful enough to traverse the portal in my human form. I’m fortunate to have learned the Sky-Swallowing Painting and attained the Kun Peng Dharma Form. The Kun Peng was a creature that thrived in between dimensions, while in this form I can use the ability called Great Chaos Art to aid my journey in this deadly environment.

“That being said, this form can only take me to alternative universes that are closely linked to Earth, such as Kunxu. It wouldn’t help in a portal that leads to a far away world.”

A few dimension shards grazed his body, instantly opening up a couple of wounds. However, Chen Fan was unaffected by the treacherous journey.

He would never have peace of mind while the realm of Kunxu still existed.

“Plus, the Path of Heaven might be inside the Realm of Kunxu. I had to pay a visit sooner or later.” Chen Fan’s eyes grew cold as he opened up both wings and shouted, “Open!”

“Boom!”

With a loud noise came an opening at the end of the portal.
