2265 The Celestial Dzi Bead Self-destructs, Four Monarchs, All Wiped Out
I can't believe two Monarchs are ganging up on a little young lady. It seems to me that the both of you really have no shame." A charming voice sounded from the vortex.
Following that, an incredibly dense aura erupted.
A giant hand made from black Daoist law energy reached out from the black vortex, shattering the Dragon Hunter Leader's attack effortlessly.
It sent him flying in the next instant, causing him to crash into the ground like a meteor strike. The crash formed a huge crater in the ground.
With just that single attack, the Dragon Hunter Leader, who had recovered from most of his injuries after absorbing the Dragon's Heart, was more heavily injured than before.
The Formation King was shocked.
"This power…"
Inside the black vortex, a woman with a pair of wings on her back and dressed in black lavish robes slowly walked out. Her breathtaking appearance was seductive, captivating all who laid eyes on her.
She also carried the pride and majesty of a ruler.
The person who was none other than the Devil King.
"Little young lady?"
The Radiant Goddess raised her brows at the Devil King's words.
She, the Radiant Goddess and a Monarch-level being, was referred to as a little young lady?
For that, the Radiant Goddess thought the Devil King was too much.
However, the Devil King was here to help her, so she should keep herself calm.
Although the Devil King seemed to notice the Radiant Goddess's displeasure, she did not show any sign of restraint. Instead, she doubled down. "Little young lady, as long as you call me your 'elder sister', I'll help take care of these two for you."
"No need."
The veins on the Radiant Goddess's scepter-wielding hand popped out.
She hid her displeasure and replied calmly.
"What a shame. I've always wanted a younger sister to take care of," the Devil King lamented with regret.
The Radiant Goddess did not bother to reply.
Meanwhile, opposite the both of them, the Formation King and the Dragon Hunter Leader's expressions were grim.
The Radiant Goddess and Devil King were two of the three Monarchs who had Chu Kuangren's back. The Devil King, especially, possessed unpredictable and unfathomable strength.
No one knew the true extent of her powers.
With the arrival of those two, the Formation King and Dragon Hunter Leader's chances of survival were almost completely wiped out!
…
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was still battling the Apocalypse Martial Ruler.
The instant their ultimate attacks collided, both of them were forced back. However, Chu Kuangren then made a surprise move by throwing out a bead-like object.
It was a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure!
It was the Celestial Dzi Bead that he obtained from Ou Chen, the weaponsmith, in the past.
Upon seeing that, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler quickly unleashed an attack, striking the Celestial Dzi Bead.
The instant his saber made contact with the bead, an inexplicably terrifying energy suddenly erupted from the Celestial Dzi Bead. Even the Apocalypse Martial Ruler was afraid of the energy.
"Oh no!"
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler immediately pulled back his saber and quickly retreated. However, it was too late. Waves of dazzling energy poured out from the Celestial Dzi Bead, swallowing him within it.
Upon witnessing the scene from afar, Wine Honorable and Ming Fei were amazed.
"Did he just make a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure self-destruct?"
"What a guy! That takes guts…"
A Hongmeng Supreme Treasure was something that even Monarchs valued highly, but the same could not be said for Chu Kuangren, seeing that he made one self-destruct.
However, when the two of them recalled the Ultimate Divine Weapon in Chu Kuangren's hand, they no longer felt surprised. After all, a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure was inferior to an Ultimate Divine Weapon.
Waves of energy poured out everywhere.
Amidst it all, a disheveled figure walked out from within.
"Oh, still alive, huh?" Chu Kuangren asked indifferently.
That figure was the Apocalypse Martial Ruler.
Even if he survived, he was not in a good condition.
He was bleeding all over while the Great Dao inside him had crumbled. Strands of Daoist law energy were leaking everywhere from him, and his Monarch's Heart was critically injured. He was like a porcelain pot riddled with cracks. With just a little touch, it would immediately shatter into pieces.
Seeing him, Chu Kuangren immediately raised his hand and activated the Heavenly-devouring Technique.
He absorbed all the Daoist law energy leaking from the Apocalypse Martial Ruler.
Apocalypse Martial Ruler boiled with rage.
Not only did Chu Kuangren intend to kill him, but he also wanted to absorb his Daoist laws before killing him.
That was just too cruel.
"Chu Kuangren…" The Apocalypse Martial Ruler gritted his teeth.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Chu Kuangren had appeared before him. Having channeled an overwhelming power in his Dragonslayer, he swung it forward.
"I can't be f*cked to listen to your obituary."
"Whoosh!"
A saber ray shot out, shattering the Apocalypse Martial Ruler's Monarch Heart completely!
Chu Kuangren absorbed all of the fragments into his body. A Monarch's Heart fragments were extremely invaluable as the Great Daoist laws inside them could be studied and even used to obtain a temporary boost of power.
After killing the Apocalypse Martial Ruler, Chu Kuangren noticed a black ring on the man's finger, and it piqued his interest.
Almost nothing remained on the Apocalypse Martial Ruler after the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure self-destructed. Even his scimitar, which was a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, was broken into pieces, yet that ring was unscathed.
He took the ring and looked at it.
The fact that the ring could resist the destructive power of a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure meant it was made from extraordinary material. Many very ancient patterns were also inscribed on it, with a horrifying power emanating from them. "This is… the God of Slaughter's Ring! "
The moment it entered his possession, Chu Kuangren understood the name of the ring.
He kept the ring, planning to spend some time studying it properly in the future.
"Alright, it's time to deal with the other two," Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.
He looked toward the direction where the Formation King and Dragon Hunter Leader fled.
The power of the Water Nation Warring Map was almost depleted.
He must finish things as quickly as he could.
"Whoosh!"
His figure instantly disappeared.
The entire Feng Domain was enveloped by the Infinity Domain. Due to that, he could sense where everything was and appear wherever he wished.
…
"What's that energy?"
While the Formation King and Dragon Hunter Leader were facing the Radiant Goddess and Devil King, a sudden eruption of energy appeared in the distance.
That energy was created by the self-destruction of a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.
They could not help but shudder.
"Oh, he's here." The Devil King chuckled.
The moment she said that, a figure in white appeared in front of the Formation King and Dragon Hunter Leader. It was Chu Kuangren.
The outcome of the battle was already decided following his arrival.
"Chu Kuangren!"
There was a look of horror on the Formation King and Dragon Hunter Leader's faces.
"The Apocalypse Martial Ruler is dead? How did he die so quickly?"
"It's that energy earlier."
Chu Kuangren was not in the mood to explain anything either.
He raised his Dragonslayer high, and with a swing of his sword, the Formation King and Dragon Hunter Leader were sent flying away.
"Tsk. An Ultimate Divine Weapon, huh? Not bad," the Devil King uttered with amazement.
She looked at the Dragonslayer, and there was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. "I wonder where my Ultimate Divine Weapon has ended up."
A very long time ago, she possessed an Ultimate Divine Weapon too.
However, she eventually lost it.
The Devil's Edge she possessed was forged later on after that.
"Chu Kuangren, don't get too pleased with yourself. The tallest trees catch the most wind. Things will never end well for you!" the Formation King yelled angrily at Chu Kuangren.
By then, his body was already covered with wounds.
All Chu Kuangren did was swing his sword forward again, and the Formation King was dead.
His next target was the Dragon Hunter Leader.
Seeing the Dragonslayer piercing his chest, the Dragon Hunter Leader was filled with resignation. "This Dragonslayer belongs to me… It belongs to me…"
He met his unwilling end on the Divine Weapon that he had long sought after.
With his death, it meant that the four Monarchs who came to attack the Pan Gu Sect were all wiped out!
