The Ninth Layer of the Emperor Initial Realm, a Heavenly Punisher's Visit, Chu Kuangren's Identity

Within Ling Tian Dao Palace, in the Mystic Heaven Sect.

Chu Kuangren was in seclusion, refining the Divine Source. After experiencing one upheaval after another, he felt a vague sense of urgency.

His enemies were growing stronger and stronger.

Previously, most of those he faced had been Heavenly Prides, beings below the rank of Emperor. Now, however, he faced the Gods from ages past!

He needed to grow stronger quickly.

Ten days later.

Chu Kuangren completely absorbed and refined that piece of Divine Source. His cultivation also advanced considerably, rising from the fourth layer to the ninth layer of the Emperor Initial Realm!

An advance of five whole layers!

After all, how many years had it been since he became an Emperor?

If word of such rapid progress got out, it would scare people to death.

"The energy contained in this Divine Source is truly immense. If I absorbed a few more pieces, wouldn't I be able to advance to Heavenly Venerable?"

Chu Kuangren clicked his tongue in wonder.

This Divine Source was something only Deities could absorb.

Yet an anomaly like Chu Kuangren had emerged.

"The emergence of the Gods is a crisis, but it's also an opportunity for me. As for the treasures within the various Secret Realms of the Gods, never mind the others-even this Divine Source alone is something others can't use, but I can!"

"This is an enormous advantage."

Chu Kuangren murmured.

After advancing to the Emperor Initial Realm Ninth Layer Realm, Chu Kuangren did not immediately leave seclusion. Instead, he continued studying the power of the Heavenly Punishment Dao Patterns.

These Heavenly Punishment Dao Patterns were a means of restraining the Gods, and would also be one of his most important tools in the future. He had to understand them thoroughly.
