2121 Three Monarch Class, Hongmeng Leaderboard, No One Shall Save Him
Two Monarch-class Transcendentalists met in space.
As they confronted each other, the Radiant Dao and the Murderous Dao clashed.
Compared to the Dao of a Grand Dao cultivator, the Dao of a Monarch-class cultivator was countless times stronger.
It was two different levels to begin with.
The clash of energy alone distorted the space around them.
Countless asteroids were crushed into powders.
The Radiant Goddess looked at the Apocalypse Society Ruler and said, “I’m not here to fight you today. Keep your killing intent away.”
The Apocalypse Society Ruler chuckled and kept his killing intent away. “It’s been three hundred thirty-six million years since we last saw each other.”
“I see someone’s counting,” the Radiant Goddess said.
“To what do I owe the visit?”
“It’s about you targeting Chu Kuangren.”
The Apocalypse Society Ruler was not surprised. He already knew what the meeting was about before he arrived.
“Chu Kuangren killed my men and hurt my son. Do you think it’s possible for me not to target him?”
“Your men tried to snatch his divine metal, so he had it coming. As for your son, you have a lot. Do you know which you are referring to? Besides, he’s still alive.”
“I don’t care. I can’t let this go so easily.”
The Apocalypse Society Ruler refused to forgive Chu Kuangren.
Upon learning his persistence, the Radiant Goddess glared at him coldly. “In that case, are you prepared to go to war with me?”
As soon as her voice subsided, the Radiant Dao around her rumbled and released terrifying energy.
The void around them started to crack and shatter.
It even contained a chilling killing intent.
The Apocalypse Society Ruler was slightly surprised.
He did not expect the Radiant Goddess to go so far for Chu Kuangren.
“You were the one who told me to keep the killing intents away, but look what you’re doing now? Radiant Goddess, aren’t you being rude?”
“Forgive my manners.”
The Radiant Goddess put her killing intents away and continued, “I want you to know that I am serious about our Child of Light.”
“I can see that, but he has killed one of my men and hurt the other. The one who survived is crippled, judging from the ruined Great Dao in him. I can’t pretend nothing happened,” the Apocalypse Society Ruler said.
“Name your terms.”
“I want the Radiant Right Sky King.”
The Apocalypse Society Ruler stared deeply at the Radiant Goddess.
The Radiant Right Sky King was the Radiant Goddess’ most trusty subordinate and the second strongest in the Radiant Church.
If she were to hand over Ming Fei, the Apocalypse Martial Society would be a lot stronger.
One Ming Fei was worth half of the Ten Killer Stars.
After listening to his terms, the Radiant Goddess returned to her wagon without saying a word, which surprised the Apocalypse Society Ruler.
“No more negotiation?”
“If you’re not trying to negotiate, why bother? If you want Ming Fei, I would rather go to war with you,” the Radiant Goddess said.
The Apocalypse Society Ruler frowned. “In that case, what can you offer?”
“I’m not going to offer anything. I asked you out today to tell you my stand on this. I want to let you know the consequences of targeting the Child of Light.”
“Are you saying this is a warning?” the Apocalypse Society Ruler asked coldly.
“What if it is?”
“Radiant Goddess, you’re being ridiculous.”
“So what?”
The Radiant Goddess refused to back down.
Suddenly, countless restriction seals appeared in space.
A figure emerged from within. Although it was just a projection, not a physical presence, the projection alone carried a strong aura.
The Radiant Goddess and the Apocalypse Society Ruler stared at the projection.
“Formation King.”
The person was the Formation King of the Heavenly Formation Palace.
He was also one of the few who was crowned king during the previous Hongmeng Era.
“Goddess, Society Ruler, you two are Monarch-class cultivators. Why make such a big fuss over a junior?” the Formation King asked.
His appearance made the Radiant Goddess frown.
“Why are you here?”
“I noticed the negotiation between you two isn’t going well, so I came to try and make peace,” the Formation King said with a smile.
“What does this have to do with you?”
“I’m interested in the Tempest King’s inheritance in Chu Kuangren,” the Formation King said.
He brazenly revealed his intention.
He was actually with the Apocalypse Society Ruler, who agreed to target Chu Kuangren.
“You were defeated by the Tempest King many times during the previous Hongmeng Era, and now you’re after her inheritance? What a joke.”
“Know your enemies, secure your victory. If I can get the Tempest King’s inheritance, I will be able to target her cultivation method and find a way to defeat her.”
The Formation King was being absurdly honest.
The Radiant Goddess was forced into a silent ponder.
She was not afraid of the Apocalypse Society Ruler, but with the addition of the Formation King, the scale tipped against her.
Even though the Formation King was just crowned king during the previous Hongmeng Era, and he was not the most experienced among the others, he was still a Monarch-class cultivator, a force to be reckoned with.
“Radiant Goddess, don’t worry. I know how important the Child of Light is to you. If the Society Ruler and I target him relentlessly, we might force you into a corner, and you will go to war with us. Therefore, I have a proposal.”
“What is it?”
“Soon, the Hongmeng Leaderboard will appear. If Chu Kuangren can score a spot within the top ten on that leaderboard, I will forget about the Tempest King’s inheritance and spare him,” the Formation King said.
The Apocalypse Society Ruler pondered before saying, “Me, too.”
He did not want to go to war with the Radiant Goddess.
Now, with the Formation King’s intervention, he could take a step back to meet her terms in the middle.
“The top ten on the Hongmeng Leaderboard? That’s not easy,” the Radiant Goddess said with a scoff.
“What’s wrong? Not confident in your Child of Light?”
“Only the Child of Light can fight the Doomsday Darkness. He’s not just any cultivator. I’ll accept your proposal.”
The Radiant Goddess then returned to her wagon.
The eight pegasuses neighed loudly before galloping away into the void.
The Apocalypse Society Ruler and the Formation King were left alone.
“Doomsday Darkness, eh? An unverified legend. Only she is persistent enough to cling to this legend. Even if the Doomsday Darkness is real, it can’t devour the Infiniverse,” the Apocalypse Society Ruler grunted.
He had lived long enough to know a lot about the Infiniverse.
The Infiniverse was not just a combination of universes.
Not even he, A Monarch-class Transcendentalist, could do whatever he wanted to the Infiniverse.
“Formation King, do you think the Child of Light can score a spot as one of the top ten on the Hongmeng Leaderboard?” the Apocalypse Society Ruler asked.
“When the leaderboard first appeared in the previous Hongmeng Era, even the Tempest King scored a little over a hundredth place,” the Formation King said.
“It’s easy for a Prodigy like Chu Kuangren to be on the leaderboard, but to get top ten, it’s impossible,” the Apocalypse Society Ruler scoffed.
The Prodigies and Outliers of the Infiniverse were gathered in the Great Hongmeng Universe.
The number was near infinite, and there were even some hidden Prodigies and Outliers who had not shown themselves.
It was not easy trying to stand out from so many of them.
To the Apocalypse Society Ruler, he had won this bet.
“Radiant Goddess, I will target Chu Kuangren no matter what. No one can stop me.”
