1729 Targeted At Me, Prodigies Arriving One After Another
"Heavenly Sword, now that Luo Xue has been defeated, you're next."
Zhuo Ming looked at Chu Kuangren and said out loud. Now that he had regained his position as the one ranked tenth on the leaderboard, he got ahead of himself.
Chu Kuangren looked at Zhuo Ming with furrowed brows.
He had never seen Zhuo Ming before, so why the sudden challenge?
"You guided Luo Xue to defeat me in the past, so if I can defeat you now, it will prove that I'm stronger than you," Zhuo Ming said.
Chu Kuangren sighed. He did guide Luo Xue before, but that was two years ago.
Luo Xue won with her own capabilities, so why would Zhuo Ming divert the blame to Chu Kuangren?
Despite the strange reasoning, Chu Kuangren did not turn down the challenge.
Zhuo Ming was a formidable foe, a Peerless Prodigy, and if he could kill the man, it would only benefit Pan Gu Universe.
He stepped out from the crowd and released the aura he had been conserving.
A vast sword aura slowly enveloped the entire God King Crater.
When Zhuo Ming sensed the aura, his expression changed, and his eyes narrowed.
"Such a powerful sword aura! He's a lot stronger than Luo Xue! The Heavenly Sword's power is indeed scary."
Zhuo Ming knew Chu Kuangren was a difficult opponent. Even so, he flew into the sky and channeled his Immortal's Core energy to the limit.
Following a powerful yell, a large number of dark clouds gathered in the sky as if armageddon had arrived, shrouding the realm in darkness.
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes as he sensed a certain energy locking onto him.
Then, a massive Evil Eye opened up in the dark clouds. The violet Evil Ray scattered, shining its light onto the unlucky ones.
Those shone on by the light were rendered immobile, and their vision went dark. An unknown fear devoured them from the inside.
"Oh? So this is the Evil Eye's power?" Chu Kuangren looked rather surprised.
The Evil Eye shone, shedding its light over Chu Kuangren. However, the Evil Ray shone on him was ten thousand times stronger than on the others.
"Take this, Heavenly Sword! Evil Flame Dragon Chant!"
As soon as the Evil Ray shone on Chu Kuangren, Zhuo Ming threw a palm strike at him. The massive Evil Flame transformed into a fiery dragon.
On top of that, an arrow that contained the power of wind and thunder was shot at Chu Kuangren from ten thousand kilometers away.
The Evil Dragon, the arrow, and the Evil Eye's ray — three massively powerful techniques were all hurled at Chu Kuangren.
"Interesting. So this whole thing is targeted at me?" Chu Kuangren chuckled.
His eyes gleamed, and the Immortal's Core energy in his body rumbled and scattered outward, causing the ground to tremble violently.
The arrow was deflected and landed on a mountain.
Amid the commotion, the Evil Dragon was destroyed, and the flame wave sent Zhuo Ming sliding back for almost a hundred meters.
"How are you not affected by the Evil Ray?" Zhuo Ming looked at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.
"Were you trying to strike the Heavens with this tiny light? You're too naive."
The Evil Eye's ray might look profound and mystical, but it was actually a soul technique.
Chu Kuangren's Soul Flower was in the Twenty-first Grade, and he had three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Human. No matter how strong Zhuo Ming's Evil Eye was, it would not be able to do anything to Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren stood proud. His snowy white robes fluttered, and his boundless Immortal's Core filled the God King Crater like the massive ocean.
The aura that was countless times stronger than Zhuo Ming made everyone else gasp in fear.
Those who saw the Heavenly Sword's might for the first time were astonished.
"So this is the Heavenly Sword's power?"
"He really is powerful. How is anyone going to beat him?"
"Zhuo Ming has met his match now, but where did that arrow come from?"
Some of them were curious about the origin of the arrow.
However, some also believed that the battle had gotten out of hand and that they could no longer afford to stay in the God King Crater. Hence, they quickly left the scene to stay safe.
"Ling Fei, you guys should leave first," Chu Kuangren said to Ling Fei, Han Xingyu, and Luo Xue.
Luo Xue stayed as she wanted to help. However, when she saw the look in his eyes, she was convinced.
"You're injured. Staying here will only burden me. Please leave."
Luo Xue was not mad at his honesty. After a quick ponder, she nodded and decided to leave. "Heavenly Sword, be careful."
"They're the ones who should be careful," Chu Kuangren said.
He stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyes scanned across the field like lightning bolts. His gaze pierced through the dark clouds and spotted a mountain peak from a million kilometers away.
There was a person with a bow at the mountain peak.
That person was ranked fifteenth on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, Liu Chuanxing of the Lightning Tribe. He was known as the best archer among the younger generation, who was also a Peerless Prodigy.
"Luo Xue is your target, and I'm the target for all of you. Am I right?" Chu Kuangren said to Zhuo Ming.
He then stepped forward, and his Immortal's Core energy erupted.
"If so, why hide yourselves? Just come out and meet me."
Kaboom! The ground trembled.
A pillar of light burst out from the ground, and from it emerged a young man in yellow robes.
"It's him! Shan Yinxiu of the Earthen Tribe!"
The Earthen Tribe was also a King Tribe, and Shan Yinxiu was ranked seventeenth on the leaderboard and was also a Peerless Prodigy.
"You're really a sharp one," said a feminine voice with a sweet chuckle.
A woman in a red dress came forward, leaving a trail of fragrance in her wake. Her looks attracted all the attention of the male cultivators.
However, when the crowd saw her, their eyes narrowed, and their expression turned grave.
"It's Lady Hong of the Moutan Peony Tribe."
Lady Hong was ranked twenty-fifth on the leaderboard and was a rather decent Prodigy.
Chu Kuangren simply glanced at her and nothing else.
Then, he looked into the void further away, where several powerful presences were hidding.
Roar!
A roar from a wild beast sounded and echoed across the field.
A terrifying massive ape jumped in, causing the ground to crumble.
It was the Evil Ghoul Demonic Ape!
It was not the real one but a manifestation of the Arch Gilded Immortal.
Chu Kuangren only knew one person who possessed such an ability.
"Heavenly Sword, I shall get my revenge today!"
As the roar reverberated in the sky, Mo Wuji appeared with an astonishing energy presence. He was the one behind the Evil Ghoul Demonic Ape.
"Me, too!" a cold void sounded.
Daoist Rhymes sounded in the void, and a white figure emerged. He was surrounded by ancient runes as he approached the battlefield from the air.
It was Ji Feiyun, who had just lost to Chu Kuangren recently.
However, he had healed completely and was now stronger than Mo Wuji.
Roar!
Another dragon roar sounded.
Chi Longying approached from afar with his domineering dragon's aura.
Behind him was another dragon in beautiful crystal form, and the aura from the dragon was several times stronger than that of Chi Longying.
She was the Crystal Dragon Maiden, Long Shuijing, who ranked eighth on the leaderboard.
Powerful Prodigies appeared one after another, and some were the highest-ranked Prodigies on the Heavenly God Leaderboard.
The crowd was shocked.
"What's going on?"
