Chapter 495: Crisis Averted, There’s A Few People Who Wanted To Thank You Too

“Let’s get out of here!!”

“We’ll die if we stay here any longer.”

The Single-horned Dragon Demon and the people from the Demonic Realm looked at each other, then quickly escaped in all directions.

“Don’t you think it’s a little too late to leave now?” Said an apathetic voice.

A huge surge of sword-based Daoist Rhyme emerged from Chu Kuangren’s body, instantly locking onto every demonic cultivator at the scene.

Following that, countless runic swords appeared from the void and one by one, they were launched in every direction.

None of the demonic cultivators were left alive.

Chu Kuangren had seemingly turned the tide of the whole battle by himself, averting the impending crisis!

The other cultivators looked at Chu Kuangren, shocked.

Chu Kuangren had become their savior!

“Thanks a lot, brother Chu. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be able to survive this catastrophe.”

“That’s right. Brother Chu truly deserves to be the number one cultivator in this world.”

The Boundary Emperors walked toward Chu Kuangren and bowed to him respectfully.

No matter what he did in the past or what he would do in the future, at this moment, everyone fully admired Chu Kuangren from the bottom of their hearts.

“Besides me, you’ll have to thank all the other sword cultivators who were willing to lend me their swords to deal with this crisis. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be able to deploy the Sealing Sword Formation, which meant I wouldn’t have sealed the Demonic Realm portal.” Chu Kuangren said gratefully while glancing at the seal.

“Ha, Chu Kuangren, you’re being too humble.”

After settling their matters, Chu Kuangren and the others departed from the Ashura Tribe. Although the Demonic Realm portal was sealed, the effects of their destruction still lingered.

The demonic objects which broke the seal in the first place were still not dealt with and there were a great number of them.

Then again, with the Boundary Emperors’ and Chu Kuangren’s help, that did not appear to be a problem. The matter was eventually solved within a day.

...

Upon returning to the Black Heaven Sect, Chu Kuangren started to tally up the damages that were inflicted by the invasion of the Demonic Realm. Although the Demonic Realm invasion was not long, the destruction it caused was still immense.

Several prefectures under the Black Heaven Sect’s jurisdiction had already suffered millions of deaths, and this was accounting for the Black Heaven Sect coming to their rescue in time.

Otherwise, the number of deaths would surely be even higher.

“Fortunately, it’s all over now.”

“That’s right.”

Chu Kuangren nodded.

Following that, his expression changed slightly upon sensing the arrival of a few people at the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain entrance. A surge of demonic qi could be detected amongst them.

“Could it be the remnant of the Demonic Realm forces?” Chu Kuangren thought.

Soon after, he discovered that the ones who came were Zhan Hongying of the Ashura Tribe, her demonic wolf, and also the Ashura Tribe’s Leader.

Outside the Black Heaven Sect mountain entrance, several disciples were watching Zhan Hongying cautiously, especially the demonic wolf beside her. It frightened them.

They had just survived a demonic catastrophe. Now, another powerful demonic being appeared right before their eyes again.

Anyone would be extremely cautious and be on guard upon seeing it.

“Let them in.”

Chu Kuangren’s voice could be heard.

Everyone looked at each other.

“It’s the Sect Leader.”

The disciples then allowed the visitors to enter.

Zhan Hongying and the Ashura Tribe Leader entered the Black Heaven Sect under the guidance of one of the disciples. They soon arrived at the Black Heaven Sect’s Longevity Hall.

“Greetings, brother Chu.”

The Ashura Tribe Leader greeted immediately.

“Please take a seat. What brings you here?” Chu Kuangren said.

“Allow me to explain. Now that the Demonic Real Portal has been sealed by brother Chu’s sword formation, I’d like to know whether my Ashura Tribe should continue guarding the portal? If so, how should we guard it?”

That was the purpose of the Ashura Tribe Leader’s visit to Chu Kuangren.

The Ashura Tribe has guarded the Demonic Realm portal for several thousand years as it was a duty entrusted to them by the Great Acheron Emperor.

However, as of now, Chu Kuangren has sealed the Demonic Realm.

Hence, they needed to discuss with Chu Kuangren to find out anything that they should take note of regarding the Sealing Sword Formation that he used, and if there are any weak points in the formation.

“The Ashura Tribe has been living in the Purgatory Forest all this while. If you don’t mind, I hope that you can continue to guard the Demonic Realm Portal.”

Chu Kuangren uttered sternly.

A trace of respect and admiration could be found in his words toward the Ashura Tribe.

After all, not anyone could pledge and devote the efforts of their whole tribe to guard the Demonic Realm portal, saving the common folk from disaster.

“Naturally.”

The Ashura Tribe Leader nodded.

Having been entrusted the duty by the Great Acheron Emperor, the Ashura Tribe would naturally agree to it. All this while, they had already settled their roots deep within the Purgatory Forest. The tribe would have nowhere to go if Chu Kuangren were to chase them away.

Following that, both parties continued their discussion about the Sealing Sword Formation. Chu Kuangren told them what they should watch out for and then proceeded to take out a unique piece of tablet.

It was the Acheron Stele.

“This is the Acheron Stele that I’ve found in the Acheron Manor, I think it’s time for this item to return to its rightful owner,” Chu Kuangren said. During these past few days, he had understood all the wonders and mystery contained within it.

The Ashura Tribe Leader had a conflicting look upon seeing the Acheron Stele. “If it wasn’t for that internal conflict we had in the past that affected the Great Acheron Formation, this Acheron Stele wouldn’t even be lost in the first place.”

“If only we could find it back sooner, then perhaps the invasion of the Demonic Realm might not have happened.”

The Ashura Tribe Leader learned from Zhan Hongying long ago, that the Acheron Stele was in Chu Kuangren’s hands.

However, they did not blame Chu Kuangren for not returning it in time. After all, nobody expected the scheme from Touba and the others would allow the Ashura Tribe to be infiltrated that soon.

Besides, Chu Kuangren was not aware of the situation within the Ashura Tribe, so it was unlikely for him to return that item just because of a few words from Zhan Hongying.

“Huh?”

The Ashura Tribe Leader’s expression changed when he suddenly noticed something. He then said, “The Great Acheron Emperor’s power contained within this Acheron Stele is gone?”

Chu Kuangren frowned slightly. “Ever since I took possession of that item, it had always been like that. There was never any power of the Great Emperor inside it to begin with.”

“This Acheron Stele forms the core of the Great Acheron Formation, there should be some Great Emperor power within it... I understand now, it’s because of the Acheron Manor.”

The Ashura Tribe Leader had a look of astonishment on his face. “Having been stolen from us for so many years, I suppose the Great Emperor energy contained within the Acheron Stele must have been stolen as well and was used up by the ones from the Acheron Manor. No wonder they were able to develop and progress so quickly within these few thousand years.”

“It seems that the Firmament Star was fated to face a catastrophe like this,” lamented the Ashura Tribe Leader.

With the power of the Acheron Stele gone, the Great Acheron could never be fully restored even if the Acheron Manor returned it to them.

The invasion of the Demonic Realm was inevitable.

Fortunately, it was dealt with by Chu Kuangren.

The Ashura Tribe Leader and Zhan Hongying left after finishing their discussion with Chu Kuangren about guarding the Demonic Realm portal.

Not long after, someone else arrived to visit the Black Heaven Sect.

This time, it was a familiar person.

“Oh, it’s you, Mister Predictor.”

Chu Kuangren was entertaining another guest in the Longevity Hall.

His current guest was the Divine Predictor, one of the most mysterious beings in the whole Firmament Star.

“Brother Chu, for sealing the Demonic Realm and saving the whole world, please accept this bow from me.” Upon meeting him, the Divine Predictor immediately bowed to Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren hurriedly held him back up. “It’s nothing much, Mister Predictor. I’m still one of the people living here after all.”

“Ha. Besides me, brother Chu, there are also a few others who wanted to thank you as well.” The Divine Predictor chuckled.
