Chapter 690: Are You All That Eager To Die? Descending In Nether Abyss Valley

As Immemorial Sage and the White Lotus School Leader were busy discussing the God Worshipping Cult's recent provocation, Chu Kuangren abruptly made an appearance in the room. He said, "I'll pay them a visit."

"Brother Chu, if the God Worshipping Cult dares to declare a war against you, it must've meant that they've gathered a large army. Isn't it dangerous for you to go alone?" Immemorial Sage asked worryingly.

"What's there to fear about a bunch of false Gods?"

Chu Kuangren answered calmly.

Beside him, Immemorial Sage's mouth twitched. "Brother Chu, aren't you a little too deep into this roleplay?"

They knew Chu Kuangren was no God. He was an extraordinary cultivator, not an omnipotent being.

"Hah, in short, there's no need to worry. I must visit the Nether Abyss Valley regardless, or our followers will begin to doubt their faith. When that happens, everything that we've worked for will be for naught."

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

...

The God Worshipping Cult's declaration of war soon spread throughout Firmament Star. The Emperors, who were keeping watch over the Gods Seal, were paying close attention to this issue.

The Gods, who were freed, were eager to observe Chu Kuangren's abilities too. After all, Firmament Star was in an unprecedented state. The Gods, Heavenly Imperials, and the Heavenly Tormentors were stuck in a deadlock. Perhaps Chu Kuangren might just be the key to breaking that balance.

His death would signify the onward expansion of the God Worshipping Cult in Firmament Star, and the Power of Faith would increase exponentially. With that, the cult could free more Gods. As long as Chu Kuangren was alive, the Gods would remain shackled indefinitely.

"He's just one person, yet his presence has disproportionately tipped the entire balance. I must personally witness his abilities for myself."

A man with aquatic blue hair murmured within a palace. He was one of the Lesser Gods that had been freed.

There were also other Gods around him.

A mirror lay before him, which reflected the image of a large cavern space. It was the Nether Abyss Valley.

The Nether Abyss Valley.

One of the Ten Forbidden Areas of Firmament Star.

However, things had changed. While the Nether Abyss Valley remained a forbidden area for most people, it was no different from an ordinary valley for an Emperor, who could come and go as they wished.

As the Emperors of the God Worshipping Cult intended to fight Chu Kuangren in this area, they had vacated the Boundary Emperors who previously resided within this valley.

Now, the Boundary Emperors remained near the perimeter to observe.

"This will be a battle of the Emperors. We must not miss it."

"Although I'm disappointed that we've been told to leave, it's a great opportunity to have a front-row seat to this battle."

"Indeed..."

The Boundary Emperors waited eagerly around the Nether Abyss Valley.

The observers could not wait for the commencement of battle.

Dozens of Emperors from the God Worshipping Cult gathered within the Nether Abyss Valley, waiting for Chu Kuangren's arrival.

"Is everything ready?"

The Underworld God worshipper said.

"Yep, almost done. Now, all we need to do is wait. If Chu Kuangren dares to show up, he'll enter a point of no return!"

An Emperor snorted coldly and said.

"Very well."

The Underworld God worshipper nodded and glared mercilessly ahead. "The descent of the Gods must not be stopped at all cost. Chu Kuangren, I don't care if you're a Heavenly Tormentor, but those who stand in the way of the Gods must be greeted with death!"

Time flew, and one day had passed.

"Why isn't Chu Kuangren here yet?"

The Emperors of the God Worshipping Cult were beginning to feel irritated.

The Boundary Emperors around the Nether Abyss Valley, as well as some observing Emperors, were appalled too. Did Chu Kuangren just chicken out from a fight?

"True Black Heaven God? What a hilarious title. He's just a false God all along. He's a failure."

"Indeed, he's too timid to even show up."

"The Gods of the God Worshipping Cult are the true Gods."

The Emperors muttered.

Some of the Boundary Emperors outside the Nether Abyss Valley also felt their patience wearing thin and were prepared to leave.

"How uninteresting."

One of the Boundary Emperors pouted his lips and was about to leave.

However, another Boundary Emperor interrupted him. "You must be a Boundary Emperor who's just recently ascended."

The Boundary Emperor was caught by surprise. "That's right. How did you know?"

"Just a hunch. The experienced Boundary Emperors are quite familiar with Chu Kuangren. If there's anyone who will back out from a fight, it's definitely not Chu Kuangren!" the other Boundary Emperor said.

The amateur Boundary Emperor, who wanted to leave, was shocked.

He looked at the remaining Boundary Emperors and noticed that the experienced Boundary Emperors were indeed still waiting in their spots. They did not intend to leave at all.

Those who were impatient were the newly ascended Boundary Emperor.

"This Chu Kuangren, is he really that powerful?"

"Hah, you'll find out soon."

The experienced Boundary Emperor chuckled.

"He didn't even have the guts to show up. True Black Heaven God my foot! He's all talk and no trousers!" One of the Emperors exclaimed.

"That's right. The self-proclaimed true God is just a ruse."

"Haha, you call yourself a God?"

The Emperors' mockery echoed through the realm.

At that moment.

A deafening explosion ensued.

"Are you all that eager to die?"

The dark clouds in the sky converged into a gigantic maelstrom as an indifferent voice resonated through the realm.

The maelstrom spun with the flashings of lightning, and thunder grumbled in succession.

A white-clothed figure descended from the sky, carrying with him a boundless amount of Emperor's Aura.

Chu Kuangren had arrived!

The observers were riled up by his arrival.

"He's here. He's finally here."

"Although I knew he had ascended into an Emperor, the power of his aura seems to surpass most ordinary Emperors. What realm is he in now?"

"Is this the True Black Heaven God?"

Amidst the crowd's exasperation, Chu Kuangren landed on a cliff in the Nether Abyss Valley. When his feet touched the ground, he sent forth a wave of devastating explosions around him.

Boom, boom, boom...

The ground shook incessantly and split into fragments!

Almost as if the ground was unable to contain his weight, the surrounding mountains began to crumble. In just mere moments, half of the Nether Abyss Valley had been turned into a barren wasteland.

However, it was only the doings of Chu Kuangren's aura.

He had yet attacked.

That alone was enough to make everyone go wild.

The Emperors, who were observing from afar, gasped. Chu Kuangren's aura had aroused a primal fear in them.

"What a terrifying aura. This isn't something any Rank Nine Initial Emperor can pull off. What realm is he exactly in now?"

"Is he a Heavenly Imperial already?"

"No, I don't sense any universal energy from his presence. While he has yet to ascend into the Heavenly Imperial realm, his poise has far exceeded that of the Rank Nine Initial Emperor Realm. I'd say he's a half-step Heavenly Imperial."

"He has just recently ascended into an Emperor, and look at how much he has grown now. His growth is simply mind-numbing."
