2049 Poor Imitation, Enlighten Armament Destruction, Bold Guess
“They are not on the same level!”

“The Underworld River Forefather was a famous elite in ancient times, the one who created the Ashura Tribe, yet he was defeated just like that. Has Chu Kuangren grown so scary?”

“Each meeting with him is a surprise.”

Different thoughts appeared in people’s minds.

After Chu Kuangren dealt with the Underworld River Forefather, he took the swords, Avici and Yuan Tu, before he looked at the Ashura Kings.

The Ashura Kings shuddered when they received his gaze.

“You guys are still in charge of the blood ocean, but I do not want to see it going out of control again, like what happened today,” Chu Kuangren said.

The few of them listened to his command carefully.

Then, they lifted their chest and answered loudly, “Yes!”

“Alright. I’ll be going now,” Chu Kuangren said.

With that, he left the blood ocean and headed up, toward the Desire World Sky.

However, Papiyas’ presence was nowhere to be found.

“Oh? Did he run away? Smart,” Chu Kuangren said with a chuckle.

The ancient beings might not be as powerful as him, but they were slick and smart. Those qualities were what they had relied on to stay alive for so long.

The moment they went into hiding, not even Chu Kuangren could find them in a short period of time.

In fact, not only Papiyas but the two powerful presences in the Far West Land, who rivaled that of a Primordial, were gone as well.

Chu Kuangren looked in the direction of the Far West Land and chuckled. “Are they all afraid of me?”

His figure flashed and returned to the Demon Kingdom.

By then, the dust between Luo Hou and Armament Destruction had settled.

The place was wrecked by the battle, and the entire kingdom was leveled to the ground.

Armament Destruction was standing on the rubbles alone, emanating a frosty aura, while Luo Hou’s body was nowhere to be found.

“Oh? He escaped, huh?” Chu Kuangren asked.

“I will defeat him when I meet him next time,” Armament Destruction said regretfully. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Chu Kuangren could easily defeat a Primordial, but he could not even inflict the killing blow on Luo Hou.

Their difference in strength was huge.

Chu Kuangren stood still and looked at Armament Destruction. He sized up the man’s strange look and said, “Your cultivation level is falling behind.”

Armament Destruction was one of his clones. Although fusing with the planet’s rage qi forbade him from acquiring all of Chu Kuangren’s resources, twenty thousand years should be enough for him to ascend to a Primordial.

However, Armament Destruction was only a Pseudo-Primordial, and the power he wielded was far from reaching the level of a Primordial.

Even though reaching his level in twenty thousand years was decent, it was not good enough since he had some of Chu Kuangren’s qualities.

“Hmph. You haven’t broken through to become a Primordial as well,” Armament Destruction grunted vengefully.

Chu Kuangren chuckled as he shook his head. “I’m not the same. I’ve fused with three thousand Dao, and I’m not even halfway there.”

Suddenly, realization struck him, and he looked at Armament Destruction’s strange expression. “Don’t tell me you’re trying to be like me, taking the path of fusing with three thousand Dao? That’s why you have been holding back from ascending.”

“If you can do it, why can’t I?” Armament Destruction muttered.

Chu Kuangren shook his head in dismissal. He said, “You might be my clone, but after fusing with the rage qi of the planet, you are your own entity. You and I are different. Why are you so obsessed with being you or me?”

He believed Armament Destruction was on a wild good chase by comparing everything with Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren’s words made Armament Destruction think.

He disliked being treated as Chu Kuangren, so he had always wanted to prove himself. However, subconsciously, he was comparing himself with Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren broke the Revolving Sky Blazing Formation, so he wanted to do it as well.

Chu Kuangren defeated the Great Dao Avatar, so he wanted to do it as well.

Chu Kuangren wanted to fuse three thousand Dao, so he wanted to do the same.

However, would doing what Chu Kuangren did prove himself?

No.

It would only make him Chu Kuangren’s shadow.

If so, how could he surpass Chu Kuangren?

Chu Kuangren spotted a shift in expression on Armament Destruction’s face and knew his words were working. He continued, “You are a part of my Immortal Consciousness, so you have part of my memories. You should know what poor imitation means.”

Armament Destruction was shocked.

He had been imitating Chu Kuangren so closely that he forgot how he walked originally.

He was stuck in a vicious cycle, not knowing what kind of path he should walk.

“Think about it.”

Chu Kuangren tapped on Armament Destruction’s shoulder when he walked past him.

Armament Destruction was a great help.

He might be competitive, but with a part of Chu Kuangren’s Immortal Consciousness inside him, he would never turn on the person who gave him life.

Chu Kuangren looked forward to how strong he could grow.

After leaving the rubbles of the Demon Kingdom, Chu Kuangren returned to Firmament Empire.

Lan Yu, Gu Linglong, and the others were thrilled to have him back.

“You’re back!”

“Master, you’re finally back!”

“My King, where have you been? We haven’t heard from you in the past twenty thousand years!” Elder Ruyan grumbled.

Chu Kuangren scratched his nose awkwardly. He did not expect that the trip would take him twenty thousand years.

He thought he had only been away for two thousand years.

Suddenly, bold guesses appeared in his mind.

It was either that the flow of time was different in different universes or that when he traversed across universes using the Timespace Treasure, the timeline he entered was random and not fixed.

After all, the Timespace Treasure was a special one, and he once used it to travel back a million years on the Firmament Star, where Gods reigned.

Even though it was just a timeline exclusive to the Firmament Star, it was enough to prove how magical the Timespace Treasure was.

The Spacetime Dao itself was mystical.

He should be more mindful when using the Timespace Treasure next time, at least before he completely mastered the mystical powers of Spacetime Dao.

After he chatted with his friends and families, he started searching for Luo Hou, Cundi, Receiva, and Papiyas. For launching an attack on the empire, they should not be spared, especially Luo Hou.

Unfortunately, he failed to locate any of them in the Immortal World. They must have left the Immortal World or concealed their presence from his Immortal Consciousness using some special technique.

Now that he had returned, he no longer feared anyone.

“Speaking of which, the ancient beings are mostly amazing people. I should find some time to visit them,” Chu Kuangren muttered to himself.

Aside from the list of names, he should first visit Nuwa, the first Human Emperor and the Mother of the human race.

After that, he should visit the Three Clarities to thank them because their Single Qi Three Clarity Transformation helped him a lot during his early years.

Names of ancient beings appeared in his mind.

Then, a massive hollow willow tree appeared.

“Luo Hou used this to teleport his army, and the Space Dao it contains is magical. I wonder who did it…”
Chu Kuangren was curious about the one behind the hollow willow branch.
