2212 After The Dragon Tombs, A Daring Strategy
Chu Kuangren soared across the sky like a bolt of lightning.
He was flying away from the Dragon Tombs.
He arrived at a random mountain peak and rested. He set up a formation to conceal his presence before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
He had to calm himself down to rest the rumbling Great Dao energy in him. He had suffered quite the damage from the battle with a Monarch.
Even though he had the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique, it would take time for him to recover.
"A Monarch is no joke." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Despite his desperate escape, he gained a lot from the battle.
"My trip to the Dragon Tombs was well worth it."
There was a wide smile on his face.
Spoils like the Dragonslayer, all kinds of Dragon Tribe cultivation techniques, and the Infernal Dragon Soul were enough to boost him to a whole new level.
"Too bad I can't refine the Dragonslayer for now."
Chu Kuangren took the bronze box out.
The Dragonslayer was an Ultimate Supreme Treasure, so its power was unimaginable.
The possibility of spotting an Ultimate Supreme Treasure in an era was near zero. In fact, there might be none.
The Ultimate Supreme Treasure was the dream of every Monarch.
He, as a Grand Dao cultivator, was lucky enough to have the Ultimate Supreme Treasure. However, it would be difficult for him to refine it at his current level.
Even a Monarch would have to spend quite the effort, let alone a mere Grand Dao cultivator
"I'll have to keep it for now."
Chu Kuangren kept it away for the future and started to meditate to heal his injuries.
…
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Tribe's territory, the Elder Dragon King summoned all the elites from different tribes for an urgent meeting.
All the dragons attended the meeting with a grim look.
Before them was a massive floating ball showing different images from elsewhere.
The ball of light was actually showing them what Chu Kuangren did in the Dragon Soul World and the Infernal Dragon form that he used to fight the Black Dragon King.
"What do you guys think about this?" the Elder Dragon King asked.
"He must've absorbed a lot of dragon souls in the Dragon Soul World to have mastered all the Dragon Tribes' cultivation techniques. However, they're not as threatening as the Infernal Dragon energy in him," said a red dragon.
It was outrageous that Chu Kuangren knew all kinds of Dragon Tribe cultivation techniques, and it was a huge threat to the Dragon Tribe.
However, it was not as threatening as the Infernal Dragon energy that he possessed, especially when it was from the Primal Infernal Dragon.
It struck fear in all the elites.
They could not imagine fighting an enemy who possessed the Primal Infernal Dragon energy and unimaginable growth speed. The damage to the Dragon Tribe would be an absolute horror; it would be a disaster!
It might be as severe as the damage done by the Dragon Hunters.
"Other than the Infernal Dragon energy, he also has the Dragonslayer…" said a Black Dragon.
His words made things even worse.
The Infernal Dragon energy and the Dragonslayer combined would be the nightmare of all dragons.
"He didn't use the Dragonslayer when he fought the Black Dragon King, so it means he hasn't refined it yet," the Elder Dragon King said.
"That's an Ultimate Supreme Treasure. It's not that easy to refine."
"The saber was sealed in the Dragon Tombs for many years, and the place is huge. How did he manage to get his hands on it."
Everyone was furious but helpless.
Was it fated? Must the Dragon Tribe face that disaster?
"About the Dragonslayer, one of the dragons said he saw Dragon Hunters in the Dragon Tombs. So, I sent a few elders to the Saber Grave Domain, and they found the bodies of Dragon Hunters.
"I think the Dragon Hunters used some kind of unknown way to enter the Dragon Tombs and retrieve the Dragonslayer. But they got killed running into Chu Kuangren, who got his hands onthe Dragonslayer."
"What? Dragon Hunters in the Dragon Tombs?"
Everyone was shocked.
After some serious discussion, the Elder Dragon King said, "The Dragon Hunters are making a comeback after having recovering for a long time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to send men inside the Dragon Tombs to retrieve the Dragonslayer. Now that Chu Kuangren has the Dragonslayer, this is a chance for us to do something daring."
Every dragon pondered at his words.
"Elder Dragon King, are you saying that you want the Dragon Hunters to help us deal with Chu Kuangren? What if they teamed up?"
Some of the dragons expressed concerns.
The Dragon Hunters and Chu Kuangren were both enemies of the Dragon Tribe.
As the saying went, 'My enemy's enemy is my friend.'
If the two of them team up, it would pose a bigger threat to the Dragon Tribe.
"If you have the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, would you simply give it away?" the Elder Dragon asked.
"I see…"
Realization struck the crowd.
The value of an Ultimate Supreme Treasure was immeasurable.
With the Dragonslayer in Chu Kuangren's hand, he would never hand it away easily, even though it originally belonged to the Dragon Hunters.
Since the Dragon Hunters would not give up on the Dragonslayer as well, they ought to clash sooner or later.
Then, the Dragon Tribe could sit back and reap a harvest from their conflict.
"Spread the news that Chu Kuangren has the Dragonslayer and has killed many Dragon Hunters," the Elder Dragon King said.
"Understood."
…
"What?"
"Honorable Seven Evils and the others are dead?"
Inside a mysterious space, a man in black armor suddenly bolted up from the chair. His expression was grim.
The man's cultivation was powerful, and he was exuding Daoist law energy fluctuations.
He was also a Monarch and the current leader of the Dragon Hunters.
"What about the Dragonslayer?"
"Based on our findings, a massive battle happened in the Dragon Tombs, where Chu Kuangren fought the Dragon Tribe. It was said that he got the Dragonslayer and killed our men."
"Chu Kuangren…"
The leader growled the name.
He knew of the name. Chu Kuangren was a sensational figure in the Great Hongmeng Universe. He was the one who seized first place in multiple leaderboards and also directly caused the conflict between multiple Monarch-class forces.
His ability to stir things up was amazing.
"How could it be him…"
The Dragon Hunter Leader found the matter troublesome.
He might go after the culprit if it were someone else, but Chu Kuangren had the support of three Monarchs.
No one would simply target him.
"Leader, what should we do now?"
"Send our men to negotiate with Chu Kuangren, and remember to bring our most valuable treasures. If we can get the Dragonslayer back peacefully, that would be great; if not, we would have to think of another way," said the Dragon Hunter Leader.
"I understand."
…
"My son died?"
At the Huang clan of the Blood Dragon Tribe, the Huang Clan Ruler stared into the sky with fuming rage. The domineering draconic aura exploded and swept across the area.
"Chu Kuangren, you are now the enemy of the Huang clan!"
"Clan Ruler, the Dragon Hunter Leader wants a meeting," said one of the clan elders.
The Huang Clan Ruler grunted and said coldly, "Fine. My son accompanied them to retrieve the Dragonslayer, and now he's dead in the Dragon Tombs. I want an explanation from them."
He might not be a Monarch, but as the largest Blood Dragon Tribe of the Dragon King Universe, he had unimaginable support and resources, which would allow him to rival even a Monarch.
