Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws Chapter 1697

1697 The End of the Ancient Path, the Galaxy G.o.d King, Galactical Fis.h.i.+ng

At the end of the Ancient Path, the location of the nine hundred and ninety-ninth challenge was an ancient planet less than five kilometers in diameter. The only thing on it was a simple thatched hut.

A person was sitting in front of the thatched hut. He was wearing a coir raincoat and holding a fis.h.i.+ng pole in his hand, fis.h.i.+ng.

However, there was no lake before him but a vast endless sea of stars. As for the fis.h.i.+ng pole, it was no ordinary fis.h.i.+ng pole either as it had countless Daoist laws within it.

Roar!

!!

A low roar echoed from within the sea of stars.

A gigantic wild beast slowly approached from the distance. It had an incomparably powerful aura that spread all around it, causing the surrounding planets to shatter one by one!

Following that, the wild beast seemed to be caught by something and started struggling in the sea of stars.

Every movement in its struggle sent forth devastating energy storms in the sea of stars. The planets that were caught in the storm were all reduced to pieces.

When the elderly man wearing a coir raincoat noticed that, his eyes immediately lit up. “That’s a bite.”

The elderly man pulled his fis.h.i.+ng pole, dragging the gigantic wild beast out from the sea of stars and toward him. The wild beast’s body shrunk the moment it exited the sea of stars, turning into a fish the size of the man’s palm within instants. The elderly man then tossed the fish into the fish basket next to him.

Chu Kuangren calmly observed everything that happened. However, he still looked surprised.

‘This old man is using Daoist law as a line to fish for Giant Stellar Beasts.’

‘What an amazing technique.’

“Greetings, Heavenly Sword, the legendary figure from the Spiritual Sword Tribe.” The elderly man turned around, looked at Chu Kuangren, and chuckled. “In so many years, you’re the second one to finally get to this place.”

“Oh, and who was the first?”

“Di Qianqiu, who’s ranked first in the Heavenly G.o.d Leaderboard.”

“Interesting.”

Chu Kuangren took note of that name.

However, he was not too bothered by that and replied calmly, “So you’re the Galaxy G.o.d King?”

“That’s right.”

“What kind of challenge awaits me?”

“A simple one. Sit beside me and fish. If you can land a larger fish than mine, you shall pa.s.s the challenge,” said the Galaxy G.o.d King as he pointed at a fis.h.i.+ng pole nearby.

After hearing that, Chu Kuangren walked toward the fis.h.i.+ng pole and picked it up. He then noticed that there was no line on that fis.h.i.+ng pole. However, he was not surprised. With a thought from his mind, his Arch Gilded Intent flowed and turned into a fis.h.i.+ng line that hung from the top of the fis.h.i.+ng pole. With that, he came to the edge of the vast sea of stars, sat down, and patiently waited for something to take his bait.

“Heavenly Sword, your understanding of the Dao is truly extraordinary. It’s truly astonis.h.i.+ng indeed.”

There was a hint of surprise in the Galaxy G.o.d King’s eyes. Even Di Qianqiu could not figure out how to use the fis.h.i.+ng pole as short a time as Chu Kuangren did.

“It doesn’t seem that difficult to me. All you need to do is to use your hands.”

“Tsk… You humor me with your words, Heavenly Sword.”

The corner of the Galaxy G.o.d King’s mouth twitched before he began to concentrate on his fis.h.i.+ng.

The surroundings became extremely quiet for a moment.

Chu Kuangren did not take the opportunity to ask anything as he, too, was focused on fis.h.i.+ng, which surprised the Galaxy G.o.d King a little.

If any other cultivator were to meet a G.o.d King, they would pester the Galaxy G.o.d King with questions for advice. Even when Di Qianqiu managed to arrive here back then, he could not help but ask a few questions. However, things were different with Chu Kuangren, who remained calm and treated the Galaxy G.o.d King as if he was just a normal fellow cultivator.

That made the Galaxy G.o.d King a little uncomfortable.

“Heavenly Sword, don’t you have anything you wish to ask me?” the Galaxy G.o.d King asked curiously.

“Nope,” Chu Kuangren replied.

Any ordinary cultivator would surely feel a little nervous when they meet a G.o.d King. After all, the G.o.d Kings were the most top-tiered being in the Central Heaven Universe.

However, to someone like Chu Kuangren, he was just another elite cultivator.

Chu Kunagren would hold a necessary level of respect toward someone of that stature. However, it did not mean Chu Kuangren would go out of his way to get on the G.o.d King’s good side either.

‘What makes a G.o.d King… a G.o.d King?’

‘They’re just Embodier Realm cultivators anyway.’ After all, Chu Kuangren had met with several Embodiers before.

Besides Bei Ming and Xu Wu of the Celestial Demon Tribe, he also had someone like the High Priest in the Pan Gu Universe’s Underworld who was an Embodier under his command! He already knew a total of three Embodiers before this!

Although a G.o.d King was powerful, that was all there was to them.

Perhaps the Supreme G.o.d King would be akin to the most top-tier of Embodiers. Great ones like the Underworld River Forefather and the West Ruler Matriarch were most likely former Supreme G.o.d Kings. Those individuals might pique his interest a little more, at least.

“Heavenly Sword, do you know why I made the Galaxy G.o.d King Ancient Path?”

The Galaxy G.o.d King suddenly spoke.

“I don’t.” Chu Kuangren was not that interested to find out either.

However, the Galaxy G.o.d King continued speaking. “I am but a wandering cultivator who managed to become a G.o.d King. Because of this, many forces wished for me to join them. But having gotten used to the life of a vagabond, I didn’t wish to join any of them. Unfortunately, the more powerful you are, the more pressure you’ll be given to eventually pick a side. Otherwise, your strength would only be a threat to everyone else.”

The Galaxy G.o.d King let out an uncontrollable sigh.

Being a G.o.d King himself, his glory was never-ending for sure.

However, there would always be other G.o.d Kings stronger than him in the universe, and those people all wished for him to pick a side. After all, they did not wish to have a wandering G.o.d King out on the loose, a G.o.d King that would pose a threat to them. Despite his wishes to not pick a side, the other G.o.d Kings did not believe the Galaxy G.o.d King. How could they be sure that he would not change his mind after?

Be it an enemy or an ally, he must choose a side.

“That’s because you’re not strong enough,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

From Chu Kuangren’s perspective, the Galaxy G.o.d King was in such a predicament because he was not domineering and powerful enough.

If the Galaxy G.o.d King were stronger like a Supreme G.o.d King, who else would dare to force him?

No one.

“Hah! For so many years, you’re the first person who has said I’m strong enough. I truly wonder, where did a little Arch Gilded Immortal cultivator like you find the courage to speak such words?”

The Galaxy G.o.d King was taken aback for a moment. However, he could not help but chuckle.

He, too, was treated as a weakling in the past, but no one had ever dared to call him weak since he became a G.o.d King.

Those who wished for him to join them only did so because he was powerful.

Unfortunately, Chu Kuangren also had a point. It was because he was not strong enough that such a dilemma had befallen him.

The Galaxy G.o.d King continued saying, “It was because I wanted to be a wandering cultivator, but the King Tribes did not want that. They hated the fact that I couldn’t be controlled easily. So, I made a bet with all of them. The details of this bet lie in this Galaxy G.o.d King Ancient Path. If any Prodigy can clear all nine hundred and ninety-nine challenges, I shall join the orthodoxy or tribe they represent.”

“This bet has since lasted for dozens of eras. Even Di Qianqiu, a Peerless Prodigy known to be the most talented person over the past ten eras could not do it. What about you? Do you think you can do it?”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “Well, let’s find out together.”

The moment he said that, a Giant Stellar Beast that looked like a whale was coming toward them from the edge of the sea of stars.

The prey had appeared.

However, which of the two fis.h.i.+ng lines would it get hooked onto?

The Giant Stellar Beast cruised through the sea of stars leisurely, not realizing that it had become the prey of the two cultivators.

At that time, the Giant Stellar Beast arrived before Chu Kuangren’s fis.h.i.+ng line.

“It looks like I’ve won.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. His fis.h.i.+ng line moved and entangled that Giant Stellar Beast before he started pulling the beast toward him.

However, the Galaxy G.o.d King laughed. “I don’t think so.”

With a slight movement of the fis.h.i.+ng pole in his hand, the Daoist law-made fis.h.i.+ng line flung across half the galaxy and cut off Chu Kuangren’s fis.h.i.+ng line.

As a result, the Giant Stellar Beast broke free and fled the galaxy in a panic.

“Hey, that’s cheating.”

Chu Kuangren frowned.
