2025 A Deal With the Dark Demonic Ruler, the Great Hongmeng Universe, Three Thousand Daos



'The Dark Demonic Ruler and Holy Light Ruler…'

Chu Kuangren started pondering.

It was without a doubt that the person before him was definitely a Transcendence-level being.

As for what kind of cultivation level that person possessed, Chu Kuangren was still unsure.

"Master of Destiny, since the hand of destiny had allowed me the honor of meeting you, I wonder if you can hear a little request of mine?" the Dark Demonic Ruler said.

"I suppose you must know the rules of the Divine Destiny Temple. If you want to make a deal with Destiny, you must offer something with equivalent value."

"Of course."

The Dark Demonic Ruler nodded. A black drop of blood then appeared from between his brows, and his face turned a little pale after that.

It was as if offering that drop of blood was an exhausting thing for him to do.

"Master of Destiny, I hereby offer you a drop of my blood essence. With this item, you can comprehend thirty-six types of Great Dao, including Darkness Dao and Curse Dao."

Chu Kuangren was swayed.

'Integrating thirty-six types of Great Dao in one go?'

'Are you kidding me?'

'Is it that amazing?'

'Besides, didn't they say that an Embodier can only integrate nine types of Dao at most? Why is the Dark Demonic Ruler so sure that I can integrate so many types of Great Dao?'

"Speak of your request."

"Master of Destiny, I hope you can enter the Great Hongmeng Universe to find some healing items for me," the Dark Demonic Ruler said.

'The Great Hongmeng Universe… another unfamiliar name.'

The Dark Demonic Ruler seemingly understood Chu Kuangren's situation and chuckled. "The birth of All Universes can be traced back to the Hongmeng Universe. As the source of the Infiniverse, the Great Hongmeng Universe possesses items with boundless creation. Those are the type of items that can recover my injuries and could only be found inside the Great Hongmeng Universe."

'The birth of All Universes can be traced back to the Hongmeng Universe…'

Chu Kuangren was a little shocked.

'This means that All Universes have come from the same source?!'

'How fascinating.'

"The Great Hongmeng Universe revolves once every trillion epochs. I have conducted divination and learned that the entrance to the Great Hongmeng Universe will re-open soon. Master of Destiny, I hope you can enter and find some healing items for me inside."

Chu Kuangren pondered.

Then, he asked, "How does one enter the Great Hongmeng Universe?"

"There is a pair of doors in every universe…"

Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up.

He knew it.

'So that pair of doors actually connects to the Great Hongmeng Universe.'

"A drop of your blood essence is still insufficient," Chu Kuangren said lightly.

The Dark Demonic Ruler's eyes narrowed a little upon hearing that. He did not expect Chu Kuangren to dare to bargain with him.

Honestly speaking, he truly was fearful of Chu Kuangren's identity as the Master of Destiny.

However, he could tell that Chu Kuangren's cultivation level was too low.

He was still far from becoming the true Master of Destiny.

Chu Kuangren's eyes were bright as torches as he looked at the Dark Demonic Ruler. Meanwhile, he was also glaring at him with deep dark eyes void of any emotions.

However, he did not end their negotiations on the spot.

Instead, he pondered for a while.

He then took out a black insignia and said lightly, "This is the Darkness Ruler Amulet. If you meet anyone from the Darkness Tribe in the Great Hongmeng Universe, you can use this amulet to make them obey your commands."

Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up as he took the amulet.

He knew he had made the right gamble.

There was a reason why the Dark Demonic Ruler wanted his help instead of entering the Great Hongmeng Universe himself. There was something he clearly feared in there.

It was most likely the Holy Light Ruler that injured him.

That person might head to the Great Hongmeng Universe too. Besides, with how critically injured he was, the Dark Demonic Ruler would very likely be discovered and killed once he entered the Great Hongmeng Universe. Hence, he had no choice but to seek out others for help.

"Very well. Destiny shall bear witness and permit this deal." Chu Kuangren chuckled.

"Master of Destiny, your courage and wit is truly commendable," the Dark Demonic Ruler said.

He clearly saw through Chu Kuangren's test earlier.

Truthfully speaking, it was just as Chu Kuangren guessed. He did not dare to enter the Great Hongmeng Universe because he was afraid of being discovered by the Holy Light Ruler.

Chu Kuangren's current cultivation might be low, but he possessed the unfathomable potential for growth as the Master of Destiny. He was certainly the most qualified person the Dark Demonic Ruler had ever met that could most likely help him find the necessary healing items.

"Tell me what you need."

The Dark Demonic Ruler told him a list of items that could recover his injuries. Chu Kuangren took note of all of them.

Before he left, the Dark Demonic Ruler called out to him and said, "Master of Destiny, I have one more thing to remind you. Before you ascend as a Primordial, try to integrate as many types of Dao as you can. It'll be best if you can integrate three thousand types of Dao."

Chu Kuangren was stunned.

'Integrate three thousand types of Dao?'

'Who are you kidding?'

'The limit of what an Embodier can integrate is nine types of Dao, you know?'

The fact that he could integrate dozens of types of Dao was already an unimaginable feat, let alone three thousand. He had not even thought about it before.

"Three Thousand Great Daos... The more you integrate when you're still an Embodier, the more powerful you'll be and the more potential you'll have when you become a Primordial. If you can integrate three thousand types of Dao, you might possibly have a chance to ascend as the… Supreme Ruler!"

'Supreme Ruler…'

'This guy… What is he talking about again?'

'Is that a cultivation realm? Cultivation stage? Or title?'

Chu Kuangren felt that a large new door was slowly opening toward him. He could feel his blood faintly surging with excitement.

Chu Kuangren no longer bothered with the Dark Demonic Ruler and left.

The Dark Demonic Ruler let out a playful smile as he watched Chu Kuangren leave. "Three Thousand Great Daos… Now, how many types of Dao can you integrate, I wonder?"

Integrating three thousand types of Dao… 

Truth be told, he was only mentioning it on a whim. As of now, he still has yet to hear of anyone throughout All Universes that successfully integrated three thousand types of Dao.

…

After exiting the Dark Demonic Forgotten Lands, Chu Kuanrgen felt that he gained a lot during this visit.

He was right to come to the Dark Demonic Forgotten Lands this time.

"Alright, now there's one more thing left for me to deal with," Chu Kuangren mumbled.

He looked into the distance.

That was the direction to the Central Heaven Universe.

He did not go there right away and returned to his Imperial Palace instead. He wanted to refine the Dark Demonic Ruler's blood essence.

He had successfully integrated another thirty-six types of Dao from this.

In the Central Heaven Universe, Luo Xue, Tianxing Cai, and the others had returned.

It had been dozens of years since the battle in the Void Battlefield.

Everyone still remembered that battle like it was yesterday.

It had been haunting them like a never-ending nightmare ever since that day. 

Back then, they thought that they could return to the Central Heaven Universe to find Shen Tian. They felt that they would have a chance to rise again and fight one day.

However, they were met with an even greater despair instead!

Shen Tian had gone mad.

After learning of Emperor Feng's defeat by Chu Kuangren's hand, Shen Tian knew that if he did not take any desperate measures, he would not stand a chance against his enemy. Hence, he accelerated the process of devouring planets to quickly recover to his peak power.

That was right.

From everyone else's perspective, Shen Tian just destroyed worlds with every action he took.

Seeking to restore his full strength, he did not hesitate to devour the living beings from countless planets. The universe was plunged into despair due to this.

What Chu Kuangren said on the battlefield was true.

They were busy fighting on the frontlines in the Void Battlefield and securing continents, yet Shen Tian and Emperor Feng were devouring their tribesmen, family, and friends behind their backs. How could there be anything more ridiculous than this?

That made them feel even more hopeless.

Compared to losing in war, that feeling of despair was even worse!

In Central Heaven Universe, atop a gigantic ancient planet, Luo Xue, Tian Xingcai, Di Feitian, and others were gathered there.

They were discussing how to defeat Shen Tian.

Nowadays, Shen Tian had been completely maddened by rage. If they did not stop him in time, the whole universe would have been destroyed.

However, Shen Tian was a Primordial. How could they possibly do anything to him?

"Everyone, we must stand up no matter what. If God Kings like us cower in fear, there truly is no hope for this universe anymore."

Luo Xue looked at the crowd of God Kings and said with a determined look.

Everyone looked at each other.

They then gritted their teeth and voiced their agreement. "Luo Xue is right. If Shen Tian lives, we'll be the ones who die in the end. Instead of hiding and trying to survive, why don't stand and fight, taking a gamble for the future with our lives!"
