Arc 55The Human Emperor’s Trial
Chu Kuangren completed Chiyou’s inheritance and led the Jiuli Tribe before conquering the Eastern Heavenly Dao Tower. After defeating the tower’s final guardian, he destroyed the coalition that ambushed him and faced the retreating factions’ warnings.
- Chu Kuangren defeated Chiyou’s clone and claimed the Asura Mask, Great Wilderness Halberd, and Demon General Cauldron, completing Chiyou’s inheritance.
- Heavenly Prides and Qin Fei attacked the Jiuli Tribe to seize the inheritance, but Chu Kuangren emerged from seclusion and drove them back, then defeated Shi Tianxuan in battle.
- Chu Kuangren entered the Eastern Heavenly Dao Tower, gathered rewards and Seals of Dharma Verification, and refined five elemental treasures using the Five Elements Mystery Art.
- After defeating the Ape Ancestor and receiving his inheritance, Chu Kuangren faced the Purple Tenuity Immortal Emperor, whose incarnation recognized him as the Human Emperor and tried to stop him.
- Chu Kuangren escaped the tower after the Purple Tenuity Immortal Emperor’s incarnations joined forces against him, then found the Heavenly Dao Seed, Netherworld successors, Qin Fengyun, and other Heavenly Prides waiting to attack.
- As his depleted clone fought the gathered enemies, Chu Kuangren’s true self arrived, absorbed the Heavenly Dao Power of the Heavenly Dao Seed and Earth Heavenly Dao Seed, and killed the attackers with the World-Destroying Black Lotus.
- Beiming warned the descending Great Encompassment projections not to attack Chu Kuangren, who declared he would force anyone who refused to submit into submission.
- Chu Kuangren sent Cao Yun, Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and the others into the Heavenly Dao Tower to temper themselves before it disappeared.
