Chapter 2358 Void Ruler, Infernal Dragon Energy, Mess Things Up
"Damn it!" The Spatial One was furious that Chu Kuangren fled. In fact, he even felt scared to a certain extent.
The power that Chu Kuangren displayed in the prison break was so ridiculously powerful that it threatened the Spatial One.
He started to fear his next meeting with Chu Kuangren.
"Thankfully, I've gotten the information about the Void Ruler. Now, I just have to locate him." The Spatial One's eyes burned eagerly.
If he located the Void Ruler, he would certainly become more powerful.
Then, he would not have to be afraid of Chu Kuangren.
With that thought in mind, he placed all his bets on locating the Void Ruler.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Destiny Temple, Chu Kuangren and the Space Emperor arrived together.
The Space Emperor sized up Chu Kuangren curiously. "So you're this generation's Master of Destiny? Are you human?"
Chu Kuangren's aura was confusing. Even though the Space Emperor was an Ultimate Monarch, he could not see through Chu Kuangren and determine his origin.
"I am." Chu Kuangren nodded. "You saw what I went through to get you out of the Void Prison. I hope you won't let me down."
The Space Emperor nodded. "I know why you broke me out of prison. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word, and I will fulfill the Destiny Contract as promised."
"Great." Chu Kuangren nodded and asked, "What does the Spatial Tribe want with you?"
The Space Emperor's expression turned grave. "The Spatial Tribe locked me up because they wanted to know where the Void Ruler was."
"The Void Ruler?" Chu Kuangren was intrigued.
Just from the name itself, Chu Kuangren knew the person was not easy to deal with.
"That's right. The Void Ruler is the ancestor of the Spatial Tribe, and he's the reason they exist. The Spatial Tribe has been wanting to find him for countless eras to get his power and make the Spatial Tribe the master of the Infiniteverse…" the Space Emperor explained.
The Void Ruler was a name as old as the universe itself.
The man was on the same level as the Human Ancestor, Primal Infernal Dragon, and other ancient beings.
However, similar to the Human Ancestor, the Void Ruler had not appeared for countless eras.
What remained of him were legends and rumors. The Spatial Tribe believed he still existed somewhere in the universe, and they had never stopped searching for him.
The Space Emperor was the only clue they got after countless years.
"Many years ago, I got a sliver of his power from a Spirit World in the Great Hongmeng Universe. That's why the Spatial Tribe wants to know my secret," the Space Emperor said.
There were countless Hongmeng Spirit Worlds in existence, and it would take probably forever for the Spatial Tribe to locate the Void Ruler.
Therefore, they wanted to pinpoint the exact location with the information from the Space Emperor.
However, the Space Emperor refused to spill the beans for as long as he was captured.
"Void Ruler? Interesting. If he's still alive, the Spatial Tribe will be in for something big in the near future," Chu Kuangren said as he rubbed his chin.
Upon hearing the comment, the Space Emperor fell into a daze for a moment before his eyes widened in shock. "Soul Searcher Needles! The Spatial One used the Soul Searcher Needles on me! If so, he might have gotten the location of that particular Spirit World!"
Chu Kuangren took the purple needles out.
The needles had a sliver of Soul Daoist law energy fluctuation on them. It was strange as it did not look like physical needles but more like an ethereal form, materialized from a certain Daoist law energy.
Daoist law materialization was extremely difficult, even for an Ultimate Monarch. That explained how magical and amazing the needles were.
"These are the Soul Searcher Needles of the Soul Tribe. Once inserted into a person, even a Monarch's mind could be disrupted. The target will answer any questions asked. I must have revealed the location when the Spatial One used them on me."
The Space Emperor felt frustrated. The secret that he kept for years was extracted by the Spatial One using some dirty methods. If Chu Kuangren did not break him out of prison, the Spatial Tribe would probably eliminate him once they got a hold of the secret.
Chu Kuangren had not only given him back his freedom but also saved his life.
It was not exaggerating to say that the debt of gratitude was heavier than the Destiny Contract.
"Soul Tribe…"
Chu Kuangren toyed with the needles as he pondered.
That particular Hongmeng Tribe was skilled in soul techniques, and their methods were unorthodox. They were scarier than the Curse Tribe and should not be underestimated.
If the Soul Tribe and Spatial Tribe teamed up, they would shift the landscape of the Great Hongmeng Universe.
However, Chu Kuangren temporarily put the thought aside. "You said you have the power of the Void Ruler. Show me."
"It has weakened a lot."
The Space Emperor released a sliver of energy.
It was not as strong as a Monarch, which did not fit the image of the powerful Void Ruler.
"When I first got this power, it was really powerful. But after all these years and all the trouble that I've gone through, the power has weakened, and this is all I have left," the Space Emperor said.
Chu Kuangren sensed spatial energy from it, but it was strangely impure. It contained another source of energy in it that was somewhat familiar.
It was the time energy, or in other words, the Primal Infernal Dragon energy!
"Interesting. This is really interesting. What does the Dragon Tribe have in common with the Void Ruler? Why does the Void Ruler have the Primal Infernal Dragon energy in him?" Chu Kuangren was interested. It seemed he had gained a lot from the prison break.
Not only did he save Yang Mei, but he even got Space Emperor out, which could be a great assistant to him.
He even got to know about the Void Ruler and the connection he shared with the Primal Infernal Dragon.
"How did you get this energy?"
"To be honest, I don't know. I got into danger when I entered the Spirit World, and while I fled, I got into a mysterious place. I managed to flee the Spirit World, but I realized the energy was already with me."
Now that he recalled the process, the Space Emperor found it strange as well.
While Chu Kuangren pondered, the Space Emperor asked, "Master of Destiny, now that the Spatial Tribe has gotten the location of the Void Ruler, what are you planning to do?"
The Spatial Tribe was Chu Kuangren's enemy. Now that he had found out about the Void Ruler, he could not just sit back and allow them to seize the power to grow stronger.
His involvement was inevitable.
The Space Emperor was curious as to what he would do too.
"Let's just mess things up first," Chu Kuangren said.
"You're saying…" The Space Emperor's eyes gleamed with interest.
"We leak the news of that Spirit World and attract more attention. The Void Ruler is a Source Being, and I believe his existence will attract actions from other forces," Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
The Human Ancestor, Primal Infernal Dragon, and Void Ruler were all Source Beings, so the other forces would not let it slip just like that.
After all, they would not want the Spatial Tribe to grow stronger either.
