1860 Strange Reaction From the Pocket Universe, Comprehending an Embodier’s Power
During the Ancient Immortal Era, Pan Gu Universe was filled with many powerful great ones, with a total of seven Primordials at the pinnacle of power. Along with the Daoist Progenitor Hong Jun, that was a time of peace and prosperity for Immortals. However, everything changed when another universe invaded.
That was right.
The invasion of another universe was already present during ancient Immortal times.
The intensity of the battles at that time was intense.
Finally, Hong Jun made a sacrifice by merging his body with Pan Gu Universe’s Great Dao. It was due to that newfound power that the Alternate Universe’s invasion was pushed back.
Back then, the pathway where the Alternate Universe invaded was known as the Heavenly Rift. That rift was sealed shut later on by Nuwa using the five-colored stone.
That was how the ancient legend of Nuwa using the divine stone to mend the sky came to be.
Although the Alternate Universe forces were pushed back, a portion of them remained in Pan Gu Universe and had since gone into hiding. Those people were known as the Mist Tribe.
Originally from another universe, the Mist Tribe possessed extraordinary divine abilities. For all the years, they had been patiently waiting for a chance to fight back.
Hong Jun and the others initially planned to deal with the Mist Tribe. However, they were met with an even trickier problem that arose.
As it had to push back the Alternate Universe’s invasion, Pan Gu Universe’s Great Dao was severely damaged during the process. Hence, in order to recover its power and ensure the universe was operating normally, a great calamity befell Pan Gu Universe’s Great Dao!
That was the reason why the Immortal World was shattered into fragments and why almost all the great ones in Pan Gu Universe were wiped out. After absorbing the great ones’ power, Pan Gu Universe’s Great Dao went into a deep slumber until the start of the new era.
As for Hong Jun, he used up his remaining strength and collected the remnant souls of those fallen great ones. He then stored the souls safely within the Chaos, hoping they could reincarnate when the time came.
“Now, the Central Heaven Universe’s invasion has brought hope to the long-hidden Mist Tribe. They are likely to cooperate with the Central Heaven Universe and take action against you,” Hong Jun warned.
He then looked at Wu Han beside him. “Regarding this, I believe Brother Wu Han can relate to the most. After all, he was also targeted by the Central Heaven Universe and the Mist Tribe together back then.”
Chu Kuangren looked over to Wu Han.
Wu Han nodded gently. “They’re nothing but a bunch of cowards. If it weren’t for me having to stand guard here and prevent them from leaving, they would’ve been wiped out long ago.”
Then, he looked toward Chu Kuangren and said, “If they couldn’t kill me back then, do you think you’ll do worse than me?”
Chu Kuangren grinned. “I’m the Celestial Demon King!”
He stood up and looked into the depths of the universe. “Let them come!”
…
After some small talk with the Daoist Progenitor Hong Jun and Wu Han, Chu Kuangren returned to the Immortal World and started his closed-door cultivation. He planned to refine the Twenty-four Ocean Soothing Pearls and Yin Yang Cauldron that he had yet to refine completely to get stronger.
Unlike Heavenly Sword Chu Kuangren, Green Lotus Chu Kuangren was a clone created from the Chaos Green Lotus. Even though he was not an Embodier, he could still kill one effortlessly if he channeled the power of the Chaos Green Lotus to the maximum.
“Can you all survive facing a great perfected Chaos Green Lotus, I wonder?” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Besides increasing the Chaos Green Lotus’s power, he also used the Immortal King’s authority to obtain some useful resources in the Immortal World to improve himself.
Meanwhile, at the Central Heaven Temple’s Heavenly Sword Peak in the Central Heaven Universe, Chu Kuangren was already done refining the Embodier Fruit and Embodier Fragments he obtained from the Void Battlefield.
It took him several years.
However, he still could not break through to the Embodier Realm. There seemed to be a barrier stopping him from becoming an Embodier.
“Have I not accumulated enough resources?”
Chu Kuangren frowned a little.
Without great amounts of resources, it would be extremely hard to break through from the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm to the Embodier Realm. Furthermore, he could not rush the process despite how talented he was.
Suddenly, a strange reaction came from inside his body.
It was coming from within his Pocket Universe.
His consciousness entered his body and arrived at the Pocket Universe.
The Pocket Universe was one of the Transcendent-tier rewards he received from the Fantasy Roulette, and it was a complete universe.
As for him, he was the Great Dao Consciousness of that universe.
His consciousness came to the universe and found the origin of that strange reaction. It was coming from a gigantic egg in the chaos.
That gigantic egg seemed to contain something inside. Upon closer inspection, a handsome young man was inside that gigantic egg.
Why did the young man cause the Great Dao to react strangely?
After some observation, he discovered that the young man possessed Primordial capabilities. Moreover, he was not any ordinary Pseudo Primordial but a pure and raw Primordial bundle of power born during the dawn of chaos. He was basically a humanoid-shaped Chaos Supreme Treasure.
If such a power were to be placed in other universes, even the Great Dao would not be able to keep it under control. The only way was for the Great Dao to destroy it.
Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, was not like that.
He held absolute power over that Pocket Universe. No matter how powerful the handsome man was, he would never escape Chu Kuangren’s control.
However, that young man’s power still caused a strange reaction to the whole Pocket Universe.
“Should I destroy it?” Chu Kuangren mumbled while looking at the handsome young man in the gigantic egg.
Although the young man was still not yet born, he would eventually affect the balance of the Pocket Universe if he was allowed to live and grow. When that time came, Chu Kuangren would have to expend more energy to destroy him. He might even affect the growth process of the whole universe.
‘In that case, I better destroy him…’
Just when Chu Kuangren was about to take action, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
“My main body is still in the outside world, troubled over how to break through to the Embodier Realm. Yet, my consciousness is inside this Pocket Universe, where I possess Great Dao’s power. Although this power is great, it’s from the Pocket Universe. Hence, I can’t directly use it to help my main body break through to the Embodier Realm…
“What if my consciousness entered another being’s body and used that being’s body to ascend to the Embodier Realm and even the Primordial Realm… With this new experience, my consciousness can then return to the main body, and the chances of me breaking through to become an Embodier will increase greatly…” Chu Kuangren thought.
At that thought, he looked at the young man in the gigantic Chaos egg. With a thought from his mind, he separated a strand of his consciousness from his own and sent it toward the young man.
Suddenly, that young man opened his eyes, unleashing an incomparably powerful aura toward Chu Kuangren’s consciousness.
“Haha, you think you can get rid of me that easily, Great Dao? I’ll never let you succeed! My destiny is in my hands and not in the control of the heavens!” the handsome young man roared.
His terrifying aura shook all Chaos, which attracted the attention of many Celestial Demons in the vicinity.
However, just when they were trying to figure out what was happening, a terrifying consciousness descended, nullifying all their attempts of deducing what was going on!
Those Chaos Celestial Demons were immediately shocked.
“This consciousness… It’s the Great Dao!”
“The Great Dao has descended upon us!”
“What the hell has happened? To think that even the Great Dao has appeared.”
The Celestial Demons were shocked.
Meanwhile, inside the gigantic Chaos egg, Chu Kuangren snorted upon sensing the handsome young man’s resistance, and an even more powerful burst of energy erupted.
The handsome young man’s consciousness gradually eroded.
‘Your destiny is in your own hands? No, it’s in the hands of the heavens!’
The heavens of that universe were none other than Chu Kuangren, of course.
After eroding the young man’s consciousness, Chu Kuangren’s consciousness went into that new physical body, taking full control of it.
An unfamiliar energy instantly poured into his mind.
That was an Embodier’s power.
Although it was weaker than the Great Dao’s power, Chu Kuangren could sense that the power was even more refined.
The Great Dao’s power was just too immense, and although Chu Kuangren had control of it, he could never comprehend it.
However, that Embodier-level power would be within his capability of comprehension.
“Wonderful. Once I get used to this new power, I shall stand a greater chance of becoming an Embodier when my consciousness returns to my main body.”
