2178 Elder Dragon Xingyun, Ripping Out the Dragon Tendon, The Devil King Appears
The whole Hongmeng Universe was in an uproar after the Radiant Goddess made a Daoist Core Oath.
In the Devil Territory, the Devil King rubbed her chin. Having also heard the oath made by the Radiant Goddess, she marveled at the Radiant Goddess's determination.
"That's quite the courage coming from the Radiant Goddess. She is really going all out to combat the Doomsday Darkness, but I guess she has no choice. If the Doomsday Darkness were to appear, wouldn't her Ming Tribe be the first to get affected? However, by doing so, she has made it harder for me to win Chu Kuangren over.
"If the Radiant Goddess is willing to sacrifice that much for him, he'll be more likely to follow the Radiant Church than the devils. Why don't I sacrifice a little too?" The Devil King pondered.
Meanwhile, the three Devil Archdukes by her side were secretly stunned.
'This Devil King is simply too obsessed with Chu Kuangren, isn't she?'
…
In Myriad Arms City, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler was standing in the air. Although he emanated powerful surges of aura, he did not take action.
He found himself in a dilemma.
If he took action, the Radiant Goddess would fight him to death.
If he did not take action, his massive march to the Myriad Arms City would end just like that. Besides giving people the perception that he was afraid of the Radiant Goddess, it would damage his image and reputation.
Chu Kuangren looked at the Apocalypse Martial Ruler and could not help but lament the situation.
"Since the Radiant Goddess isn't here, I suppose she must be held back. The only one that can stall a Monarch like her must also be another Monarch…
"However, I didn't expect her to make a Daoist Core Oath…"
Chu Kuangren felt his heart flutter.
"Should I kill him or not?" The Apocalypse Martial Ruler pondered.
However, a dragon's roar soon sounded from the void nearby.
"If the Apocalypse Martial Ruler can't kill you, I'll do it!"
A gold dragon appeared in the sky!
Its dragon aura was boundless and superior compared to Jue Jian's earlier!
"Oh, it's Elder Dragon Xingyun!"
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler was stunned to see the man.
Elder Dragon Xingyun was a Grand Dao Supreme Honorable Realm cultivator. In terms of power, he was one of the top-tier elites who was second only to the Monarchs of the Dragon Tribe. The man had been here around the previous Hongmeng Era.
Why was he here?
"Chu Kuangren, for killing the son of the Elder Dragon King, you shall pay dearly with your life!" Elder Dragon Xingyun said indifferently.
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler's eyes lit up with excitement, and he said calmly, "Since the Dragon Tribe has a score to settle with him, I shall allow you this opportunity to take revenge."
Since he no longer had to kill Chu Kuangren with his own hands, he would not have to fight the Radiant Goddess to the death. Even if he became her enemy, things would change as time passed.
Elder Dragon Xingyun nodded. "Thank you, Martial Ruler!"
Then, he looked at Chu Kuangren coldly. "Now, surrender your life!"
As he reached out with his dragon claws, a domineering surge of dragon aura erupted, sealing off Chu Kuangren's surroundings.
"Geez, why is everyone out to kill me today? Do you guys think I'm that easy to bully?"
Chu Kuangren's gaze turned cold, and an ominous purple light lit up in his left eye.
Intense evilness instantly filled the air.
His Devil's Pupil was activated!
Strengthened by the Devil's power, Chu Kuangren felt a steady stream of energy pouring out from his body, flowing through his limbs and bones.
Ever since obtaining a portion of the Devil King's power in the Devil Territory, that was the first time he fully unleashed the power of the Devil's Pupil.
He, too, was unsure of how powerful it had become now.
As of now, he might as well try it out.
"Three Thousand Grand Worlds!"
In the face of Elder Dragon Xingyun's attack, Chu Kuangren remained where he was and merely unleashed a slash with his sword. Three thousand worlds were reflected within the three thousand Daoist laws contained inside his sword ray!
"Boom!"
When the sword ray and dragon claw clashed, someone screamed. It was because the sword ray had penetrated through the imposing Elder Dragon Xingyun's dragon claw!
"What kind of power was that?"
Elder Dragon Xingyun was shocked.
He was an elite even among Supreme Honorable cultivators. Yet, Chu Kuangren, a Grand Dao cultivator who had just broken through, had made a hole through his dragon claw!
Before he could react, he saw a figure with black hair dancing before him. Chu Kuangen, who now possessed a terrifying devil-like aura, dashed toward his back.
Chu Kuangren thrust his sword forward.
The powerful Hongmeng Supreme Treasure pierced through his protective dragon qi and dragon scales. Half of the sword, which was now in his body, released surges of supreme sword qi.
"Argh!"
Elder Dragon Xingyun howled in agony. His body twisted in the air as bursts of dragon qi erupted from him. He struggled to shake Chu Kuangren off his back.
However, Chu Kuangren stood firmly on his back as if their bodies were connected. No matter how he struggled, he could not get rid of Chu Kuangren.
Having used the Devil's Pupil, the evilness inside Chu Kuangren's body kept on eroding his mind, and his expression looked ferocious.
The sight of him made everyone shudder with fear.
Chu Kuangren was a completely different person compared to before, be it his cultivation or aura.
"Chu Kuangren, get off me now! Let's fight fair and square!" Elder Dragon Xingyun roared.
"Fair? How is it fair that a Grand Dao Supreme Honorable like you is fighting me, a cultivator who just broke through the Grand Dao Realm?" Chu Kuangren sneered.
The anger in his chest grew.
He gripped his Descendant Self Sword tightly and unleashed its sword qi to the limit. It widened the opening on Elder Dragon Xingyun's back.
Ignoring Elder Dragon Xingyun's crazed screams and howls, Chu Kuangren stuck both his hands into his opponent's flesh as if he were looking for something inside.
"Found it," Chu Kuangren said with a cruel grin on his face.
He pulled with both his hands, activating his vitality qi to the limit. He ripped out a thick and shimmering golden Dragon Tendon from his opponent's back!
"Roar!"
Elder Dragon Xingyun's eyes turned bloodshot as he let out a heart-rendering scream. His dragon blood rained upon the world as he fell from the sky before his massive dragon body crashed onto the ground.
The ground shook, bringing smoke and dust into the air.
Chu Kuangren, who was swirling with dark Devil energy all over his body, walked out amidst the smoke and dust. He was holding a crystalline Dragon Tendon in his hand while Elder Dragon Xingyun's powerless body lay behind him, now on the brink of death.
With his Dragon Tendon ripped out, it looked like Elder Dragon Xingyun did not have long to live anymore.
Everyone gulped in fear. All of them were shaken.
"D-Did he just rip out a Grand Dao Supreme Honorable dragon's tendon? What is he thinking? Is he trying to go to war against the Dragon Tribe?"
Killing dragons was not terrifying.
However, what every dragon dreaded the most was having their Dragon Tendons ripped from them.
After all, a dragon's body was filled with treasures, especially their Dragon Tendon, which constituted the essence of a dragon's physical strength. During ancient times, there was even a group of dragon hunters who specialized in killing dragons. Those were the darkest years for the Dragon Tribe…
It was only when the Dragon Tribe grew stronger that they managed to wipe out the Dragon Hunters. However, memories of those darkest years still lingered within the bloodline.
Seeing the Dragon Tendon ripped out made many dragons remember that dark time.
That very act was a taboo of the Dragon Tribe!
"Chu Kuangren, you deserve to die!"
A gigantic dragon head formed by countless strands of dragon qi appeared in the sky, followed by a terrifying Monarch aura that descended upon everyone.
It was the Elder Dragon King!
Chu Kuangren's action had enraged the ancient Monarch. Even when his son, Elder Dragon Cheng Tao, was killed, he was not as infuriated.
"That person belongs to me, Elder Dragon King. If you dare lay your hands on him, I don't mind personally paying a visit to the Dragon Tribe one day."
Just when the Elder Dragon King was exploding with rage and his consciousness descended on the area, endless black qi rose into the sky, forming a black pair of wings.
As the pair of wings opened, it revealed an enchanting and alluring figure.
Another Monarch had appeared.
The person was the Devil King, one of the most elite among the Monarchs!
