Chapter 1982
1982 A Bet With Heavenly Rainbow Dragon, Three Treasures, Surrounded
“Heavenly Sword, you do know how to spend your time playing chest,” Heavenly Rainbow Dragon said.
Chu Kuangren remained seated and showed no intention of welcoming him. Instead, he said, “Heavenly Rainbow Dragon, are you interested in a game or two?”
Heavenly Rainbow Dragon glanced at the chessboard before saying, “I don’t know how to play traditional chess, but I do know a thing or two about go.”
...
“Of course.”
Chu Kuangren told the Heavenly Shadow to bring the go chessboard over.
Then, the two of them started playing.
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to find some answers. First, I never left my bloodline powers behind before I went into slumber, so how did Long Shuijing get the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon bloodline?” Heavenly Rainbow Dragon said as he placed a stone on the chessboard.
“You should ask Long Shuijing about it.”
“I did. She said she simply got an Opportunity of Fortune, but when I dug deeper, I realized she called you her master at the same time she acquired my bloodline. I believe you’re involved in this.”
Heavenly Rainbow Dragon looked annoyed.
He could not believe that Long Shuijing had his bloodline powers, yet she called someone else her master.
If Long Shuijing was not one of the Nine Kings and played a vital role in the Central Heaven Universe, he would have killed her a long time ago.
“Other than that, are there any other questions?” Chu Kuangren asked without answering.
“How did you get your dragon powers?”
Chu Kuangren’s Infernal Dragon power had been bothering the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon for a while now.
Ever since their last encounter, the Infernal Dragon’s power revered the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon as the power belonged to something far surpassed himself, which baffled him.
“Hmm… What else?” Chu Kuangren did not answer the second question as well.
Heavenly Rainbow Dragon narrowed his eyes.
“Your battle with the Nether God. Although the Nether God was good at controlling soul power, you won, but did you really escape unscathed? Or are you just looking strong but badly hurt inside?”
As soon as the words escaped his mouth, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
A frosty intent circulated in the air
A devilish flower appeared in Heavenly Shadow’s hand as he stared at Heavenly Rainbow Dragon coldly and the Devil energy swirled around him. He was prepared to attack at any moment.
“Would you like to test it for yourself?” Chu Kuangren chuckled as he narrowed his eyes.
For some reason, Heavenly Rainbow Dragon’s confidence faded when he looked into Chu Kuangren’s eyes. On the contrary, he felt chills running down his spine.
“Heavenly Sword, why aren’t you answering my questions?”
“How about this? Let’s have a bet.”
“What bet?”
“You should have gotten the news about Chu Kuangren of Pan Gu Universe besieging the defense line of the Central Heaven Universe alone, and he’s fighting Di Hong as we speak. Many other God Kings have decided to join the battle to have a take on his life because of the promise by the Primordial. Let’s have a bet on his life,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
He was mad enough to bet on his own life!
“Interesting. I have never met Chu Kuangren before, but based on what he did today, I believe he’s just a reckless man. No matter how strong he is, with that many God Kings surrounding him, it will be difficult for him to escape alive.”
“So, are you betting on his death?”
“I am.”
“In that case, the Heavens shall bet on him living. If he dies, the Heavens will answer all your questions; if he lives, what will you give the Heavens?”
Heavenly Rainbow Dragon waved his sleeve, unveiling several treasures.
One of them was an Immortal Gold that glowed in rainbow colors.
The other was a withered wood the size of a newborn baby, with Yin and Yang aura flowing on its surface.
The last one was a black bead that contained dense rage qi.
“These are the three treasures — the Rainbow Dragon Metal, the Yin Yang Withered Wood, and the Vengeful Spirit Bead. You can choose one of them.”
The Rainbow Dragon Metal was a top-tier Immortal Metal. When used to forge a weapon, it could easily boost the weapon’s grade to the ranks of the Embodier.
With such a big chunk, it would be a great help to Chu Kuangren in refining his Great Water Nation Warring Map Formation. Furthermore, he could also shorten the refining time.
The Yin Yang Withered Wood was used to comprehend the Yin Yang Dao.
Chu Kuangren did not major in the Yin Yang Dao, but he was reaching the Multi-Embodier Realm. He could fuse with the Yin Yang Dao as his second dao, so the Yin Yang Withered Wood would be useful as well.
As for the last treasure, it was a bead that contained tremendous rage qi.
Although it was not much use to him, the Heavenly Shadow’s eyes were wide when he saw the bead.
“You’ve asked the Heavens three questions. So, if Chu Kuangren lives, these three treasures belong to me,” Chu Kuangren said.
“Heavenly Sword, you’re greedy.”
“Are you betting or what?”
“Of course. Like you said, if Chu Kuangren lives, you take the treasures; if he dies, you answer my questions.”
Heavenly Rainbow Dragon was confident that he would win.
With so many Embodier God Kings teaming up, it would be easy for them to take down Chu Kuangren.
After all, Chu Kuangren was not a Primordial.
“Of course.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
To him, the three treasures were his already.
…
On the other side, the fight between Chu Kuangren and Di Hong continued.
Di Hong noticed that no matter how many times he attacked, Chu Kuangren could negate and mitigate them. Moreover, the latter looked relaxed throughout the battle.
Quite the opposite, whenever Chu Kuangren attacked, Di Hong would have to defend with all his strength, and a slight misstep would result in him suffering heavy injuries.
“He’s so powerful! I heard he’s as strong as the Heavenly Sword. I thought it was just rumors, but now it seems like the rumors are true.”
The longer the fight, the more anxious and afraid Di Hong got.
He had a feeling that Chu Kuangren was toying with him. It felt like he was being kept alive on purpose, or he would have died ten times over.
What exactly was Chu Kuangren trying to achieve?
“Chu Kuangren, I, Palm Overlord, shall fight you!”
A loud and frosty voice sounded in the air.
Then, a violet-red palm seal, emanating a domineering aura, fell from the sky and locked onto Chu Kuangren.
Before the palm seal hit its target, the void around it had started to tremble violently. It was proof of how powerful the palm strike was.
Chu Kuangren, however, remained unfazed and pointed the sword hand sign at the sky.
The sword shadow gushed forward, crushing the palm seal into pieces.
A buffed man appeared behind the palm seal. He had Daoist Law’s energy swirling around him and emanated a powerful Overlord qi.
“I, God King Molin, am here,” a frosty voice said.
God King Molin flew in from the sky.
“The Nether King Tribe will not let this opportunity slip either!”
Wu Xuelong of the Nether King Tribe had arrived as well.
“He’s mine!”
A powerful aura, more terrifying than that of a Supreme God King, erupted from further away, where a vicious-looking giant ape was approaching from the sky.
Everyone’s eyes widened in fear when they saw the vicious-looking ape.
“It’s the Demonic Ghost Ape!”
“An ancient wild beast!”
“Judging from the aura, he’s a Multi-Embodier God King!”
The others clicked their tongues in awe. They did not expect to see a Demonic Ghost Ape amongst the awakened ancient God Kings.
“You speak too soon.”
A ball of fire came flying in from the sky.
It was the Thousand Flame God King, another Multi-Embodier.
With more and more God Kings arriving, the continent was shrouded with terrifying Daoist law energy, which caused the void to shatter.
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren eagerly.
“Chu Kuangren, if we kill you, the Primordial will grant us a wish. You have your fate to blame for your bad luck, for today will be the day you die!”
“One man besieging one continent? Foolish! You shall repent your foolish actions in hell!”
Chu Kuangren smiled when the God Kings surrounded him. As he looked at all of them, he remembered all their faces.
Then, he delivered the information to Gu Linglong.
He drew the Descendant Self Sword from his waist, releasing a rampaging burst of sword qi.
“Third step, heavily surrounded!”
