Chapter 2132 Monarchs’ Willpowers Clash, God Of Slaughter
"Is… Feng Sha dead?"
The cultivators of the Apocalypse Martial Society were shocked, and their faces paled. Feng Sha was one of the high-ranking Killer Stars, yet he was dead. They were hit hard by the outcome.
Hu Sha, Elder Yun, Ou Chen, and the others were shaking.
However, Chu Kuangren's killing spree did not stop with Feng Sha.
He pointed his sword hand sign forward and unleashed tens of thousands of sword qi.
The sword qi contained his Primordial energy, and it was so strong that it could easily match the power of a common Grand Dao cultivator.
"Bang!"
Elder Yun was the first of many who suffered the same fate as Feng Sha. The sword qi ground him to bits.
Then, it was Xiong Sha's turn.
"No! No!"
Young Master Yuan was mortified. He crawled on the ground with disbelief smeared all over his face.
However, the sword qi showed him no mercy and easily drowned him.
Ou Chen might have lost his Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, but he was still a Grand Dao cultivator. Moreover, as a weaponsmith, he had quite some treasures with him.
He used multiple life-saving treasures to keep himself alive, but he knew he was still too weak to face Chu Kuangren now.
"Chu Kuangren, you can't kill me! Spare me, and I will tell you a secret about Myriad Arms City!"
However, Chu Kuangren was barely interested. He was not tempted by the alluring offer.
Now, Ou Yenuo was in control of the entire Myriad Arms City, and he served Chu Kuangren. Even if there were secrets in the city, Chu Kuangren had the time and leisure to explore it slowly.
Why would he need Ou Chen?
Ou Chen almost made him lose a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.
He had to pay for what he did.
"Die."
Chu Kuangren swung the Descendant Self Sword down.
"Stop!"
Before the blade could strike its target, a boundless and domineering aura came from the void.
However, Chu Kuangren endured the aura and pressed forward with the slash. He slashed Ou Chen in half, ending the famed weaponsmith's life once and for all.
Clouds rumbled violently in the sky.
A powerful aura and killing intention flooded the realm.
It was as though the entire realm fell into purgatory.
A terrifying willpower has descended.
"Chu Kuangren, you shall die!"
A frosty voice came from the clouds and echoed across the realm.
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes.
It was a Monarch!
In other words, it must be the Apocalypse Martial Ruler!
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler sent only his willpower to intercept Chu Kuangren, not his true self, and it already contained such terrifying power and aura.
A Monarch was indeed powerful.
Chu Kuangren may be powerful enough to fight almost anyone below the Monarch class except for the Grand Dao Supreme Honorables, but unfortunately, he could not match the power of a Monarch.
When the Apocalypse Martial Ruler's will descended, the clouds at the horizon shone brightly as another Monarch's willpower arrived.
Chu Kuangren was familiar with the bright willpower.
It was the Radiant Goddess.
"Apocalypse Martial Ruler, have you forgotten about our deal? Or are you looking to fight me, Monarch versus Monarch?" the Radiant Goddess said.
"Kaboom!"
The two willpowers clashed, causing mystical images of destroyed stars and crushed planets to reflect in the void. A horrifying image was presented before everyone's eyes.
The battle between the two Monarchs released a powerful energy that overshadowed everything in the realm.
Even though it was just the clash of their respective willpower, they were mighty.
Chu Kuangren was amazed.
The other cultivators of the Apocalypse Martial Society knelt on the floor in fear.
The pressure from the Monarchs' auras prevented them from standing straight or lifting their heads.
"Radiant Goddess, the deal is still on, but Chu Kuangren has wreaked havoc on my branch and killed my men. He's going out of control."
"Ou Chen almost destroyed his Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, and the feud between them couldn't have been resolved peacefully. Yet, you and the Apocalypse Martial Society took Ou Chen in. It's obvious you're trying to oppose him. If I were him, I would strike your headquarters instead of your branch."
"You…"
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler was furious but speechless.
It all started because of Ou Chen.
However, being in a morally wrong position was not the main reason the Apocalypse Martial Ruler found himself in a difficult situation.
The main reason was that the Radiant Goddess protected Chu Kuangren and was even open to a full-fledged fight.
On second thought, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler decided to swallow his grievance and take a step back. He grunted and said, "Radiant Goddess, don't forget our deal. Once Chu Kuangren fails, I will take his life immediately. No one can stand in my way then."
"I have faith in him."
"Hmph. Why are you people still standing there?"
The Apocalypse Martial Ruler then grunted at the cultivators of the branch.
Everyone immediately scattered away.
However, deep down, they were surprised.
They had no idea what the deal was about, but they realized not even the Apocalypse Martial Ruler could lay a finger on Chu Kuangren.
After everyone left, the battlefield was left in a wretched state.
"Chu Kuangren, the leaderboard will be appearing soon. Don't let me down," the Radiant Goddess said.
Chu Kuangren was intrigued by her words.
'Leaderboard?'
Before he could get more information from her, the Radiant Goddess' willpower disappeared.
After a quick thought, Chu Kuangren went for a stroll in the Apocalypse Martial Society Branch. However, except for some information, he found nothing useful.
Since it was almost certain that Chu Kuangren would ultimately fight the Apocalypse Martial Society in the future, he took the information back to study them.
…
"So this is what the Radiant Goddess was talking about."
Chu Kuangren had a jade scroll in his hand that contained information about the leaderboard the Radiant Goddess mentioned.
The leaderboard's full name was the Hongmeng Leaderboard.
The leaderboard would appear whenever the Great Hongmeng Universe reset.
There were many types of leaderboards, such as the Primordial Leaderboard, the Grand Dao Leaderboard, the Celestial Talent Leaderboard, the Supreme Treasure Leaderboard, the Divine Ability Leaderboard, and more.
No matter which it was, all cultivators wished for their names to be on them.
On top of that, those listed on the leaderboard would get a mysterious buff of fortune that would greatly aid one's cultivation.
The higher the ranking, the stronger the buff. Hence, the leaderboard was the main focus whenever the Great Hongmeng Universe had a reset.
"The Radiant Goddess reminded me of the leaderboard for a reason. It seems like the deal she had with the Apocalypse Martial Ruler revolves around this," Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
However, he could not do anything about the leaderboard ranking. It was an automatic system operated by the Great Hongmeng Universe. Not even a Monarch could affect it, let alone him.
"Let's just focus on how to deal with the Apocalypse Martial Society first."
Chu Kuangren took the jade scrolls he got from the Apocalypse Martial Society Branch and studied them.
Surprisingly, he found something useful.
"The God of Slaughter…"
Chu Kuangren had seen the name on the jade scrolls multiple times. The Apocalypse Martial Society seemed to be searching for that particular person as well.
The God of Slaughter was an ancient being.
Legend had it that he was born to kill everything in the Infiniverse. Many resets ago, he used to be one of the strongest beings in existence.
However, he disappeared without a trace after a while, and the Apocalypse Martial Society has been searching for him since then.
"The cultivators of the Apocalypse Martial Society cultivate the Carnage Dao, and the God of Slaughter was born carrying the killing intentions of the Infiniverse. Is the Apocalypse Martial Ruler trying to surpass the Monarch class and reach a higher level using this old God?"
Chu Kuangren pondered.
Despite being able to describe the God of Slaughter using a few sentences, the person was certainly a powerful being and probably stronger than a Monarch.
However, it was a distant topic for Chu Kuangren at his current level.
He did not have the time or capabilities to understand more.
"Let's refine the Celestial Dzi Bead first."
Chu Kuangren took out the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure he got from Ou Chen.
