Chapter 555: Chapter 555 - Everyone Has Started To Act, Leaving The Enchanted Forest Realm

News of Chu Kuangren single-handedly defeating a group of outlawed sky-prides and nabbing all of the treasures inside the Spiritual Qi Leyline soon spread everywhere.

Many were shocked by his combat strength, but some also expressed their doubts regarding the accuracy of that news.

Regardless, Chu Kuangren’s name was now a well-known name among every circle of sky-prides in the Emperor Road. It was inevitable.

Nevertheless, this newly gained fame was unearned in Chu Kuangren’s opinion.

He did not care about it at all.

Then again, just because he felt that way did not mean that the others would feel the same as well.

Especially the outlawed sky-prides who were defeated by him, they were the ones who cared about this the most.

The fact that they joined forces to defeat Chu Kuangren yet ended up defeated had become the talk of the town. Countless people were discussing it everywhere.

Chu Kuangren had reached the peak of fame.

However, as he did so by stepping on their backs, the outlawed sky-prides were incredibly dissatisfied over this.

Not only that, but Chu Kuangren had also nabbed every single treasure in the Spiritual Qi Leyline from them. They would never let something like this slide that easily.

“Chu Kuangren, so what if you succeeded in snatching all of those treasures from us? Are you sure you can keep them safe within your possession?”

Somewhere inside the Enchanted Forest Realm, the Bai clan’s Bai Hongyu let out a cold snort and spoke as she crushed the jade scroll she had in her hand.

In an instant, a mysterious ripple appeared. It swept through the area, leaving the Forest Realm and reaching the Bai clan.

At another place.

Wang Quan unleashed a few punches and formed a line of small characters in the void, which set alight and dispersed right after.

His message was soon received by the Wang clan millions of kilometers away.

“Hmph, Chu Kuangren, not only did you kill my clan brother Wang Tianteng, but you even went and stole the treasures that belonged to me. This is not the end of it.”

A chilling glint flashed in Wang Quan’s eyes.

With terrifying Five Ways energy surged in his palm, he unleashed a punch towards a nearby mountain.

The whole mountain instantly shattered and crumbled into dust and rubble.

Almost at the same time.

In a cave somewhere, the demon outlawed sky-pride, Touheng was recovering from the injuries that he had sustained during his fight with Chu Kuangren.

The demonic qi all over him gradually retracted as deep hatred was revealed from his eyes.

“Chu Kuangren, first, you stopped the invasion of the Demonic Realm into the Firmament Star. Now, you’ve injured me and stolen my treasures in Emperor Road. You deserve nothing less than a painful death.”

“So what if you managed to get all of the treasures? You’re nothing but a sky-pride from the outside world with no backing in Emperor Road. Let’s see how long you can hang on to these items.”

Touheng sneered and took out a black crystal.

A bundle of light was swirling in the crystal, and then the figure of an elderly person appeared.

“Young Master, seeing that you’ve contacted me on your own accord, has something happened?”

“I need you to…”

Touheng told him everything that had happened inside the Enchanted Forest Realm.

Inside the Sword Tribe.

A terrifying energy wave suddenly emanated from one of the meditation chambers, followed by a roar of anger that reverberated throughout the whole tribe.

Countless swords within the Sword Tribe started to tremble.

Every cultivator in the Sword Tribe was incredibly shocked as they looked towards the direction of the roar.

After all, the sound came from where the Sword Daoist was.

‘What the hell has happened to anger the Sword Daoist to such an extent?!’

In the Sword Daoist’s closed-door meditation chamber.

“Chu Kuangren, how dare you destroy my precious clone?! I’ll make you suffer the pain of a thousand deaths!! ”

“Not forgetting the White Spiritual Divine Fruit and Wood Elemental Leyline Essence, do you truly think you can have it all? In your dreams!!”

The Sword Daoist’s face looked a little sinister at that time as surges of sword qi flew around him, striking several sword marks into the mountains and walls around him.

Then, he took out a communication compass and contacted the Sword Tribe’s Leader.

Everyone from all different forces and sects started to act.

Besides their talent and strength, the most frightening thing about the outlawed sky-prides was the …orthodoxies behind their back.

…

The opening of the Enchanted Forest Realm soon approached its end.

During that day, the skies of the Enchanted Forest Realm started to change. It was like a gigantic mirror that reflected all of its scenery.

A powerful spatial fluctuation soon appeared from the void and spread across the sky, eventually covering the whole Forest Realm.

Upon seeing that phenomenon, everyone knew that the Enchanted Forest Realm was closing.

“It’s time to go. If we don’t leave this place now, we’ll never be able to exit the Enchanted Forest Realm in time.”

Murong Xuan said as he was about to fly out from the area.

However, Chu Kuangren suddenly stopped him.

“Hold on a second.”

“What’s the matter, Sect Leader?” Murong Xuen was a bit puzzled.

Chu Kuangren chuckled as he took out two Yin and Yang rings. He said, “There’s a portion of the Wood Elemental Leyline Essence and some other treasures inside these rings. Once you two have gotten out from here, go somewhere and properly refine them. We might need to separate for a while.”

At that, Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue’s expressions changed.

“Sect Leader, why are you doing this?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. During this journey in the Emperor Road, I think the both of you will need to do some training and adventuring on your own. If you stay by my side and let me babysit you, then what’s the point?”

“But…”

Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue looked at each other. Both of them knew that Chu Kuangren would never choose to split up with them just because of that reason alone.

“Is this because of the orthodoxies behind the outlawed sky-prides’?”

Being the smart person she was, Shang Qingxue immediately came up with a guess.

Chu Kuangren laughed in reply. “Anyway, just be careful when you’re on your own, and take care. Alright, you two, it’s time to leave.”

“Qingxue, let’s go.”

Murong Xuan took a deep breath and clenched his fists before turning around to leave.

He knew that both he and Shang Qingxue would only drag Chu Kuangren down if they kept staying by his side. Doing so would only limit Chu Kuangren’s actions and stop him from doing whatever he wanted to do.

The only thing they could do now was improve and strengthen themselves in this journey as soon as possible!

As several figures flew by, one after the other, the number of cultivators inside the Forest Realm started to dwindle.

Just when it was almost time, Chu Kuangren’s figure flashed and turned into a ray of light that darted into the skies, exiting the Forest Realm.

Outside the Enchanted Forest Realm.

Some of the cultivators were still lingering around its entrance.

“I’ve managed to enter the Forest Realm and obtain a Boundary Emperor Grade Supreme Elixir. It is quite a haul I would say. What about you, Brother Lin?”

“Nothing much. I’ve only gotten a few Sage Grade Supreme Elixirs, which are obviously not as precious as the treasures you’ve gotten.”

“Geez, all I got was a worthless Sage Weapon.”

Many had gathered there to talk about the treasures they had obtained from their recent journey in the Forest Realm.

Naturally, most cultivators would never reveal every treasure they found. Even amongst the closest of friends, they would still conceal some of the more valuable treasures obtained.

However, this did not prevent everyone from starting a great conversation with each other.

Just when everyone’s talk was getting heated, Chu Kuangren suddenly appeared before them.

The originally lively scene instantly turned silent.

“That’s him, right?”

“Word has it that this person alone has taken everything inside the Spiritual Qi Leyline, which is the Enchanted Forest Realm’s greatest Opportunity of Fortune. I heard it even had a large bundle of Wood Elemental Leyline Essence. By the heavens, he must have balls of steel for doing something like that.”

“Our combined treasures are only equivalent to a tenth of what he got.”

“That’s right. The Opportunities of Fortune he has obtained are just ridiculous.”

“Not only that, but I’ve also heard that this guy is so strong that even a group of outlawed sky-pride still could not defeat him together. Otherwise, how could he have managed to get them all?”

Many cultivators were whispering among themselves while staring at Chu Kuangren.

Some were also looking at him with passion and greed burning in their eyes.

After all, he had many treasures on him.

It would be impossible for them to resist something like this. However, the only reason they did not dare to take it from Chu Kuangren by force was because of his strength.
