2177 The Monarch’s Aura, The Radiant Goddess’s Daoist Core Oath
The Holy Spirit Sword Art was the most advanced sword technique from the Sword Universe.
Its final form, the Sword Twenty-three, was the most powerful. That technique possessed devastating and even cataclysmic strength. Very few Hongmeng-level cultivation techniques could ever compare to it.
Although the version Jue Jian unleashed was incomplete, Chu Kuangren could benefit a lot if he fully comprehended it.
Besides that, Chu Kuangren could sense that the Sword Twenty-three technique was quite similar to his Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique. Both were the ultimate offensive sword techniques.
After all, one could use another person's strength to overcome their weakness.
Perhaps by examining the Sword Twenty-three and cross-referencing it with the Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, he could create an even stronger sword technique.
While Chu Kuangren was happily thinking about it, a domineering and stalwart consciousness suddenly surged from within the dark clouds.
It was the Apocalypse Martial Ruler!
'Is he going to take action?'
Chu Kuangren's gaze narrowed, and he started channeling the Grand Dao energy in his body.
Meanwhile, inside the Holy Radiant Church, the Radiant Goddess's gaze narrowed, revealing a cold killing intent. The Radiant Great Daoist law power inside her body instantly poured out.
"Apocalypse Martial Ruler, how dare you!"
The Radiant Goddess stepped forward, immediately arriving on the Radiant Bridge.
She wanted to descend upon Myriad Arms City herself.
The Radiant Bridge lit up.
A surge of teleportation energy erupted and enveloped the Radiant Goddess.
"Whoosh."
The Radiant Goddess disappeared.
However, while she was teleporting, a mysterious restriction suddenly appeared in the void and disrupted the teleportation energy!
As a result, the Radiant Goddess was trapped in the void.
She looked at the surrounding restrictions, her gaze turning colder. There was a sullen look on her pretty face. She frantically released her Radiant Great Dao energy toward the surrounding restrictions.
"Formation King, how dare you!"
The Radiant Goddess's voice echoed through the void.
Her Daoist law energy shattered several restrictions, but new restrictions immediately appeared, trapping her inside.
It was a supreme great formation that constantly regenerated!
"Please forgive me, Goddess. I'm just carrying out a duty that was entrusted to me. The Apocalypse Martial Ruler has told me to stall you here for a moment," the Formation King's said.
He pushed the blame onto the Apocalypse Martial Ruler.
In Myriad Arms City, dark clouds rolled in as a terrifying Monarch's willpower descended.
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler stepped forward and revealed himself. He was wearing a gray robe with a curved saber hanging from his waist. The Carnage Great Dao aura emanating from him was dozens of times more powerful than the ten Killer Stars under his command.
Just a trace of his aura was causing the surrounding terrain to quake violently.
The void around him silently shattered into pieces.
The ground shook and rumbled as if the end of the world was upon them.
"Terrifying! Simply terrifying!"
"By the heavens, is this the might of a Monarch?"
"Compared to the Grand Dao Realm, the Monarch Class is on a whole other level. It's not exaggerating to say that those below a Monarch Class are simply ants to them."
In Myriad Arms City, many cultivators were slammed onto the ground.
Even the Grand Dao Supreme God like Ou Yenuo was no exception. Having been slammed onto the ground, he could only lift his head up to witness the Monarch's presence!
Only Chu Kuangren in white robes stood proudly.
Although he was under the same powerful aura, his Great Dao had undergone the ultimate level of enhancement. Hence, he was unlike any ordinary Grand Dao cultivator.
That was also one of the main reasons he could resist a Monarch's aura.
"Are you aware of your crimes, Chu Kuangren?" the Apocalypse Martial Ruler said to Chu Kuangren with both hands behind his back.
The moment he spoke, the surrounding terrain shook.
With the Apocalypse Martial Ruler questioning him about his crimes, Chu Kuangren merely stood in the air, his white robes fluttering in the wind. He asked with an indifferent gaze, "How dare you question me? Who do you think you are!"
Everyone's scalps went numb with shock.
They could not believe that Chu Kuangren was talking back to a Monarch!
He was even bold enough to ask a Monarch who he thought he was.
'By the heavens, this guy must've gone mad.'
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler frowned angrily, and a more domineering Monarch aura erupted.
That aura was akin to thousands of mountains slamming into Chu Kuangren's body.
However, Chu Kuangren stood still.
His Grand Dao energy and vitality energy surged.
"Killing the Apocalypse Martial Society's Killer Stars, destroying our society's branch, attempting to establish a force, provoking a Monarch, and behaving with such arrogance and ignorance… These are your crimes!"
Then, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler's Monarch aura intensified to another level.
Chu Kuangren's body gradually cracked open as if on the verge of crumbling.
However, the Radiant Seed that had been lying dormant inside his body for a long time suddenly trembled, releasing endless surges of Radiant energy!
That energy was so powerful that it instantly recovered his wounds.
It was holding off against the Monarch aura for him.
"This is… Radiant energy?"
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler narrowed his eyes. "Is this why the Radiant Goddess has made you the Child of Light and wouldn't hesitate to become my enemy?"
"Listen well, Apocalypse Martial Ruler. I, Ming Xue, hereby make an oath with my Daoist Core that if you dare harm even a single hair on him, I will not rest… until one of us is dead!"
A chilling voice suddenly reverberated through the surroundings.
It was the Radiant Goddess.
Although the Formation King's formation technique had held her back, she could still send her consciousness to make a Daoist Core Oath before countless witnesses!
The crowd was in an uproar.
The Daoist Core Oath was an oath made with her Daoist core, and it was no ordinary oath.
One may make an oath with the Great Dao, but the Great Dao was not omnipotent. If any Grand Dao Realm cultivator were to interfere, the Great Dao Oath could be broken.
However, once a person made an oath with their Daoist core, no one else could ever interfere.
After all, the intention of any cultivator always came from their Daoist core.
If the cultivator could not fulfill their oath, there would be a flaw in their Daoist core. Then, their cultivation progress would be affected, resulting in them possibly stagnating or regressing.
Even a Monarch would never dare to make such an oath.
However, the Radiant Goddess had not only made the oath, but she had even made it known to most of the Great Hongmeng Universe. All beings in the universe had bore witness to her oath!
That in itself was shocking.
Putting things bluntly, the Radiant Goddess was protecting Chu Kuangren with her life!
"By the heavens, is the Child of Light really that important to the Radiant Church? I can't believe the Radiant Goddess has made such an oath!"
"This is absolutely amazing. To think that a Monarch is trying so hard to protect someone. I don't think they will do that even for their own children."
"Tsk, Chu Kuangren is too charming."
Amidst the crowd, the Radiant Left Sky King clenched his fists and glared at Chu Kuangren. "I can't believe Her Holiness is willing to sacrifice herself for you. Chu Kuangren, why and how do you even deserve this?"
The other Radiant Church followers were also shocked.
They knew the Child of Light was a very important figure, but only now did they understand how important he was to the Radiant Church.
After the Radiant Goddess announced her oath, the whole of Hongmeng Universe was in an uproar. On the other hand, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler stood in the air, his expression grim.
"A Goddess? She's a lunatic!
"Has she gone mad? I can't believe she has made such an oath. Is she doing this all for a puny Child of Light? All because of that ethereal Doomsday Darkness?"
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler gritted his teeth with anger.
He never thought that the Radiant Goddess would do something like that.
He knew he would damage his relationship with the Radiant Goddess if he killed Chu Kuangren, but he thought that things would eventually improve as time went by.
After all, they had lived for many years and had experienced everything.
However, now that the Radiant Goddess had made a Daoist Core Oath, it had ruined the Apocalypse Martial Ruler's last trace of hope. It meant that after he killed Chu Kuangren, only he or the Radiant Goddess would survive!
