“The Demonic Spear of Apocalypse has appeared and it was actually hidden beneath the Mountain River Sect?” Inside the tall building, a dumbfounded handsome young man in white-robes asked.
The grey-robed elder beside him nodded. “That’s right. The forefathers of the Mountain River Sect had it sealed deep underground. They even placed a barrier around it as well. I can’t believe they managed to fool me. Otherwise, that Demonic Spear of Apocalypse would have long been ours and there would’ve been no need to cause all this ruckus.”
Anyone would be in great shock if they heard what those two were talking about.
The Mountain River Sect was wiped out by those two!
Even from their words, one could presume that they were the ones who caused the demonic onslaught at the Northern Lingdao State.
“I had originally wanted to use the numerous demonic cultivators from the Azure Dragon Domain to look for the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse, but I still can’t believe that Chu Kuangren has found it first instead. It’s going to be very troublesome to get the spear now,” said the handsome young man.
He had heard much of Chu Kuangren’s feats and knew of his reputation. More importantly, that man was protected by the three great sage orthodoxies, so the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse falling into Chu Kuangren’s hands was even more of a bad news than it falling into the hands of an Honorable.
“It’s indeed troublesome, but still not impossible.”
“I see. Please tell me more, teacher.”
“The Demonic Spear of Apocalypse was a relic left by your forefathers, hence it will complement your Supreme Demonic Daoist Physique very well and benefit you greatly. That’s why you must obtain it for yourself. What’s troublesome about Chu Kuangren is the protectors by his side. But now that all of the demonic cultivators of the whole state have been deployed into action including me, we can still hold them back somewhat.”
“When the opportunity comes, you’ll follow the other demonic cultivators to gang up on Chu Kuangren. Based on your strengths and links to the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse, you should be able to snatch it amid all the chaos.” The elder laid out the plan that he had prepared beforehand.
“Ganging up on Chu Kuangren to kill him?” The handsome young man frowned slightly as if he was dissatisfied with the plan.
Noticing the young man’s dissatisfaction, the elder man said, “Although your combat ability might be strong, Chu Kuangren’s combat ability is very powerful so you’re still not a match for him as of now. You’d still need to lend some powers from the other demonic cultivators.”
“Is he really that powerful?”
“If the rumors are true, he’ll be even stronger than I imagined.”
“Alright, I understand.” The young man nodded.
“Don’t you worry, there are too many demonic cultivators who are after the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse this time so he won’t be able to deal with them single-handedly all at once. If we can hold back those protectors of his, Chu Kuangren will… Undoubtedly perish!”
A chilling look flashed across the elder man’s face.
…
“The Demonic Spear of Apocalypse is in Chu Kuangren’s hands?”
“Haha, nice. After looking for so long, the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse has finally appeared. Chu Kuangren, oh Chu Kuangren, here I come!”
“Word says that Chu Kuangren is waiting in the mountains nearby the Mountain River City, and is planning to fight us all by himself.”
“What a joke, that guy is basically seeking death.”
“Doing something as reckless as this just for a group of unsightly peasants? Chu Kuangren is an extremely stupid person!”
“I’ve been waiting to have a go with this renowned Chu Kuangren. Might as well take the chance to kill him and get the Demonic Weapon then!”
“Let’s go!”
“This Demonic Spear shall belong to my Euphoria Sect forever!”
Within a mere few days, news regarding the emergence of the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse quickly spread throughout the whole Northern Lingdao State, shocking all of the demonic cultivators.
The demonic cultivators, who were part of the Azure Dragon Domain’s three great demonic orthodoxies, quickly headed to the Mountain River City. They were prepared to defeat Chu Kuangren and obtain the Demonic Weapon.
However, Chu Kuangren at that time.
He was sitting on a large green rock in one of the mountain ranges with his eyes closed while he rested. Swirls of Daoist Rhymes could also be seen surrounding his body at that time.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes. “Paradise Realm complete!”
By then, his cultivation level had reached the complete state of Paradise Realm, with one step left before he could break through to the Battle Monarch Realm.
In other words, he could ascend to the Battle Monarch Realm anytime. However, he chose not to do so and deliberately held back his progression.
Seeing that he had managed to build a Supreme Foundation for these four cultivation realms — Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Paradise Realms, Chu Kuangren had also decided to do the same when for the Battle Monarch Realm as well.
Yet to build a Supreme Foundation upon reaching the Battle Monarch Realm would be extremely difficult. During the recent one hundred and fifty thousand years, not many had succeeded in achieving that.
Even so, it would not be challenging if the difficulty was not there, and Chu Kuangren was confident that he could do it.
That was why he deliberately held back his cultivation progress in the current realm as he wanted to wait for the right time to build the Supreme Foundation.
“Let’s focus on the demonic onslaught for now.”
Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
At that moment, Lan Yu who was beside him frowned slightly before her figure instantly disappeared from thin air. Then, battle sounds could be heard nearby.
When Lan Yu returned, she had in her hands a young cultivator who had been beaten until the brink of death. Lan Yu tossed that person onto the ground.
“Which group are you from?” Chu Kuangren asked gently.
“I’m… I’m one of the scouts from the Euphoria Sect.” Since he was already captured, the young cultivator had no intention to conceal it as he immediately revealed his identity.
Chu Kuangren then thought for a while.
Although the demonic orthodoxies within the Azure Dragon Domain were kept in check by the eight great sage orthodoxies, the forces they possessed were still worth mentioning.
The most well-known among them were naturally the three great demonic orthodoxies. These three were named the Euphoria Sect, Ashura Sect, and the Corpse Refining Sect!
According to rumors, the three of those demonic sects combined could match the strength of a single sage orthodoxy, which was much more powerful and even stronger than an Honorable Orthodoxy.
“How many of you are heading this way?” Chu Kuangren asked.
“Besides the ones from the Euphoria Sect, Ashura Sect, and Corpse Refining Sect, every other demonic cultivator who came to the Northern Lingdao State is now heading towards this area. As mentioned before, I’m a scout from the Euphoria Sect and was dispatched ahead to find out whether any traps were laid.”
The young cultivator said with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.
He had recently scouted the areas around the mountain range and was surprised to find that there was no one else other than Chu Kuangren!
In other words, only Chu Kuangren alone was here since there were also no traps as well. ‘I can’t believe that Chu Kuangren truly intends to fight every demonic cultivator alone!’
Even a demonic cultivator, who was known for being perverse, would be shocked to death by Chu Kuangren’s actions.
“Alright, I guess you’ve been scouting around here for quite a while now so it’s time you return and hand in your report. Hurry on now, don’t make me wait any longer.”
Seeing that Chu Kuangren did not kill him, the young cultivator quickly got up and prepared to leave. However, before he did, he turned around and asked curiously, “Is the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse really with you?”
With a clang, a crimson long spear appeared before the young cultivator and its surges of Daoist Rhyme attacked the young cultivator’s mind. A crazed mad look appeared in his eyes. “It’s really the Demonic Spear!”
Chu Kuangren allowed the young cultivator to take one look before he kept the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse again. He said coldly, “Now, get out of my sight.”
Having regained his senses, the young cultivator quickly left.
After the young cultivator was gone, the seventh forefather and the other two protectors walked out of the void. He then asked Chu Kuangren, “Young lad, do you still intend to fight every demonic cultivator alone? It’s too risky.”
“Don’t you worry, Seventh Forefather. I’ll only need you to hold back the ones who are above the Honorable Realm, and I’ll deal with the rest.”
“That will not be a problem, but the demonic cultivators who came to the Northern Lingdao State are now numbered in the tens of thousands. Bachelor Sage, how do you plan to deal with all of them? Why don’t you quickly recall the dispatched disciples back to your aid?”
The White Lotus School’s Honorable Qing Lan asked worriedly.
“Although the temptation from the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse is strong, not every demonic cultivator will come after it, hence someone will still have to deal with them. I’ll leave this to Junior Brother Nangong and the others then,” Chu Kuangren casually said.
“Don’t you worry. Since I have the White Lotus Light of Purification with me, I’m afraid that even an Honorable will not be able to deal with me easily. Besides, even if I cannot hold on, there’s still no stopping me from leaving the place.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The three protectors felt slightly relieved upon hearing what he said.
