2227 Breaking Through To the Grand Dao Realm One After Another, Formation King Casts A Formation, Th
Back in Myriad Arms City, Chu Kuangren got news of the Dragon Hunters and the Huang clan fighting, but something seemed off to him.
"They're fighting but not going all out. It seems like those two aren't that stupid after all. The most interesting thing is that the Apocalypse Martial Ruler has appeared."
Chu Kuangren stroked his chin and grinned.
He had a hunch that the Apocalypse Martial Ruler survived the Tempest King's onslaught, but he did not expect the man to appear so soon.
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler even approached the Dragon Hunters and Huang clan.
"Those two parties hate me, and the Apocalypse Martial Ruler plans to unite them. Do they have a death wish?" Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
He had three Monarchs backing him up, and the Apocalypse Martial Ruler knew that better than anyone.
Could the Apocalypse Martial Ruler have some way to deal with the three Monarchs?
It was unlikely.
Aside from the Radiant Goddess, the Devil King and the Tempest King were no common Monarchs either.
The Dragon Hunters, the Dragon-blooded Huang clan, and now the Apocalypse Martial Ruler combined were still not enough to defeat the three Monarchs.
"That's not all. Apocalypse Martial Ruler, who else have you gotten there? Who else would take the risk of offending three Monarchs just to kill me? You've intrigued me."
Chu Kuangren grinned.
He was no longer interested in opponents beneath the Monarch Realm.
Only Monarchs were qualified to fight him.
The current situation was that he was competing with multiple Monarchs in the dark, and the adrenaline rush excited him.
"I should refine this item first."
Chu Kuangren took out the Divine Weapon Seal.
As one of the Nine Divine Seals, it was mystical.
Dai Tian probably became first in the Weaponsmith Leaderboard with it, but he lost it to Chu Kuangren.
However, Dai Tian did not comprehend the Divine Weapon Seal fully.
Hence, Chu Kuangren went into closed-door meditation.
Months went by, followed by years.
On a certain day, a powerful Radiant energy erupted within the Pan Gu Sect.
A lady in silver armor emerged from the radiating energy. It was Lan Yu.
She had broken through to the Grand Dao Realm.
"Congratulations."
"Haha, Lan Yu, you're the first among the Black Heaven Nine Stars to break through to the Grand Dao Realm."
Shang Honghua and the others congratulated her.
"I'm just one step faster than all of you. You guys will ascend soon as well," Lan Yu said with a smile.
The Black Heaven Nine Stars all possess endless potential, especially Shang Honghua, who had gotten the Monarch dragon soul's inheritance.
She would certainly become a Grand Dao cultivator soon. After all, she also had access to the massive Great Dao Sources that Chu Kuangren got from the Great Dao Spirit World.
"We have to hurry up," Chu Hong said.
Some time later, a powerful rage qi energy fluctuation erupted.
The aura was terrifying, and it shocked many people.
"Honghua has broken through to the Grand Dao Realm! As expected of a Monarch dragon soul, her aura is terrifying," Elder Dragon Huang praised.
Even though he had also acquired a Monarch dragon soul's inheritance, he knew he would not be able to achieve such a powerful aura when he ascended to the Grand Dao Realm.
"The Black Heaven Nine Stars were handpicked by the Sect Leader. Even in ancient times, they would become one of the strongest."
Somewhere in a forest realm, Fuxi opened his eyes and chuckled.
He, who was once the Human Emperor of the Pan Gu Universe, was happy to see such talented cultivators from his universe.
"I have to work harder as well. As the senior of the human race, I can't let the juniors overtake me all the time. How embarrassing," Fuxi said with a chuckle.
Of course, there was also a monster who overtook him by light-years ahead, and it was nearly impossible for him to catch up.
"I've finally broken through."
In another forest realm, Shang Honghua smiled as she savored her newly gained energy. Her ascension was not just to the Grand Dao Realm, but she had also mastered several powerful Dragon Tribe secret techniques, which allowed her level of combat capabilities to be one step higher than her peers.
Time flew, and many years went by.
Pan Gu Sect welcomed a number of Grand Dao cultivators.
Fuxi, Heavenly Grandmaster, Divine Primedal Imperial, Yang Mei, Zhen Yuanzi, and Elder Dragon Huang had broken through to the Grand Dao Realm.
They were originally the most talented people from ancient times. If not for that catastrophe that ended their era, many of them would have transcended by now.
Now, in the Great Hongmeng Universe, with countless Great Dao Sources as cultivation material, their cultivation level skyrocketed.
After welcoming an army of Grand Dao cultivators, the Pan Gu Sect had grown much stronger, but it was still not as strong as the Monarch-class factions.
Fortunately, the sect still had the potential to grow stronger in the future.
On that day, a new leaderboard appeared, named the Divine Herb Leaderboard.
The leaderboard listed some of the most precious herbs.
Some cultivators tried to seize the fortune granted by the leaderboard, so they went searching for the herbs listed. However, most of them returned fruitless.
The listed herbs were mystical and had a mind of their own, so they would not sit there and allow cultivators to pluck them.
After getting the fortune energy from the leaderboard, the herbs would make it hard for others to obtain them.
Following the appearance of the Divine Herb Leaderboard, the other leaderboards were refreshed as well.
The highlight was the Grand Dao Leaderboard.
The first place was still Chu Kuangren, which somehow became a norm.
However, to everyone's surprise, many cultivators from the Pan Gu Universe also made it into the leaderboard.
"Some of them used to be on the Primordial Leaderboard, but now they're on the Grand Dao Leaderboard even though they have ascended recently. It's acceptable if only one or two made it, but so many of them? The Pan Gu Universe is indeed a force to be reckoned with."
"They possess endless potential."
"The strongest among them, Chu Kuangren, isn't even a Monarch yet, but he's started to show powers that challenge a Monarch. In addition to the cultivators with endless potential, I can foresee a powerful Monarch-class force forming."
…
Somewhere in the sky, when the Formation King saw his name still beneath Chu Kuangren on the Formation Leaderboard, the grievance in his eyes was brazen.
"Chu Kuangren, we shall see how skilled you are in formations."
He looked down at the countless mountainous terrains and river streams.
A massive formation was taking form beneath his feet.
"I just need a little more time, and the Purple Cloud Miasma Formation will be completed. Then, it will be time for our duel, Chu Kuangren," the Formation King muttered.
…
Back in a forest realm in Myriad Arms City, a mystical seal was floating in the void.
Before the seal was a person sitting with crossed legs.
It was Chu Kuangren.
He opened his eyes slowly, and a look of realization flashed in his eyes. "The Thousand Weapon Heart is indeed mystical."
The Nine Divine Seals each represented the epitome of a single Dao, and the Divine Weapon Seal represented the Weapon Dao.
It included the vast knowledge of weaponsmithing, which Dai Tian relied on to rise to prominence.
However, it was not its true strength. The core of the Divine Weapon Seal was a cultivation technique named Thousand Weapon Heart.
Dai Tian did not master it because he did not have the cognizance, but Chu Kuangren was different.
His cognizance was monstrous, and with Lil Ai's help, he mastered the Thousand Weapon Heart.
Although he had not fully realized it yet, he was pretty satisfied with the power.
