Chapter 2145 No More Darkness Tribe? The Doomsday Darkness, The Dark Demonic Ruler’s Past
Above the Black Water City, an endlessly razor-sharp surge of sword qi was rising.
Before the sword attack was unleashed, its aura had created countless holes and cuts in the surrounding void!
As the aura grew sharper, the sword marks in the void increased. Chu Kuangren, as the course of the sword qi, had seemingly become the most powerful and sharpest divine sword in the world!
Even the Radiant Left Sky King could feel his scalp turn numb when he saw it.
"What kind of sword attack is he going to unleash?" the Radiant Left Sky King mumbled.
The black-winged man, who was the target of Chu Kuangren's attack, looked at Chu Kuangren with a serious and grim gaze.
He understood that for the upcoming sword attack…
If he could not block it, he would certainly die!
Seeing that most of the Darkness Tribe cultivators had broken through with the help of the Devil Tribe's forces by then, the black-winged man immediately dashed into the distance.
He was not brave enough to take on Chu Kuangren's sword attack!
Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, retracted his aura when he saw the man leave.
That frightening razor-sharp intent also gradually disappeared.
"What kind of sword attack is that…" the Radiant Left Sky King could not help but mumbled.
He was very curious.
He even had an urge to go and receive that sword attack himself.
However, he suddenly snapped out of it. Beads of cold sweat were trickling down his forehead.
That thought was too dangerous.
"Chu Kuangren, what level of strength are you at now?" The Radiant Left Sky King looked at Chu Kuangren with deep fear in his eyes.
After that, he ordered everyone to search for any remaining Darkness Tribe cultivators in Black Water City.
However, due to the Devil Tribe's interference, they did not find many of them.
"Damn it, they've escaped again!"
The Radiant Left Sky King was pissed off.
This time, he had led most of the Radiant Church's forces out on an attack, yet he still failed to wipe out the Darkness Tribe.
It was all because of the Devil Tribe interfering in the battle.
"We must report the news about the Devil Tribe interfering with us to Her Holiness as soon as possible," the Radiant Left Sky King said.
"I'll go to the Goddess and tell her about this myself," Chu Kuangren said.
Following that, he and Lan Yu then left the scene of the battle.
'The Devil Tribe, huh? Interesting.'
Seeing Chu Kuangren leave, many of the Radiant Church's cultivators immediately bowed and wished him farewell. "Safe travels, Child of Light."
They worshipped Chu Kuangren a lot.
If it were not for him, they would be in a very dangerous situation facing both the Devil Tribe and Darkness Tribe, even with the Radiant Left Sky King present.
The Radiant Left Sky King looked at the cultivators wishing Chu Kuangren, and a dark gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
'It looks like Chu Kuangren's prestige is rising in the Radiant Church.'
…
In the Holy Radiant Church, Chu Kuangren came to the Radiant Goddess and reported to her about the Devil Tribe.
The Radiant Goddess pondered. "The Devil Tribe… From what I know, ever since their King disappeared, they have been inactive for a very long time. Why did they interfere in our battle against the Darkness Tribe?"
"Is the Radiant Church or the Devil Tribe stronger?" Chu Kuangren asked out of curiosity.
"It is hard to fathom the Devil Tribe's strength and influence since we haven't confronted them in battle before. However, the strength of a force often relies on whether they have a Monarch presiding over them. Although the Devil King has disappeared, we can't say for sure whether they have another Monarch present among them," the Radiant Goddess explained.
In other words, since they had not fought before, she had no idea either.
"Lil Ai, I need you to find a way to get intel about the Devil Tribe."
Lil Ai informed Lil Ai. If anyone knew the Devil Tribe the most, it would surely be the Devil King sealed inside his body.
"Master, do you seek to go to the Devil Tribe and wreak chaos?"
"Something along those lines."
The Radiant Goddess did now know about the Devil King sealed inside Chu Kuangren's body, so she said, "With regards to the Devil Tribe, I'll go and talk things through with them."
After that, she turned around and left, most likely to look for the Black Feather Archduke.
"Right Sky King, please hold on for a moment."
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren called out to Ming Fei.
"What's up?"
"Lan Yu has told me about how the both of you met. Thank you very much for saving her. Also, I apologize for doubting your intentions previously."
Chu Kuangren did not beat around the bush and immediately apologized.
Truth be told, there was no conflict between them back then.
Even if Chu Kuangren had not apologized, it would be fine.
However, he did it anyway.
Ming Fei looked at him with surprise and replied indifferently, "If that's what this is about, your apology isn't needed. I didn't take it to heart."
Then, she casually caught up to the Radiant Goddess and left with her.
"He apologized. That's quite noble of him to do so."
"Yeah." Ming Fei nodded gently. Although she did not say anything more, her impression of Chu Kuangren had improved significantly.
Not long after, the Radiant Goddess returned from her discussion with the Black Feather Archduke.
Hence, a few of them gathered to discuss the matter.
"The Black Feather Archduke said that from this day onward, the Darkness Tribe shall cease to exist," the Radiant Goddess said.
Chu Kuangren was surprised. "What did he do?"
"Well, he didn't elaborate on that."
"So, are we just going to let this matter slide?"
"With the Dark Demonic Ruler absent, the remaining Darkness Tribe cultivators are nothing but a bunch of mobs. There's no need for us to damage relations with the Devil Tribe because of them. After all, our final goal is not the Darkness Tribe."
"Is our final goal the Dark Demonic Ruler?"
"It's the Doomsday Darkness!" the Radiant Goddess replied.
Chu Kuangren thought about it for a moment. "I remember you saying that the Dark Demonic Ruler fell to darkness because he was researching the Doomsday Darkness. However, I refuse to believe that purely researching will turn him into the Dark Demonic Ruler. So what's the specific reason?"
The Radiant Goddess pondered a while. "Follow me."
She brought Chu Kuangren to the depths of the Holy Radiant Church, where there was a teleportation formation. The two of them stepped into it and disappeared from the spot.
The view before Chu Kuangren's eyes changed.
He had arrived on another planet.
That planet was enshrouded in endless white light. Amidst the white light, many cultivators were hovering in the air in formation, radiating endless Radiant aura from their bodies. There were also countless runes surrounding them that formed a gigantic cube.
Meanwhile, inside the white cube of light was a mass of extremely dense and black substance that emanated a frightening Darkness intent.
The giant white cube was the size of a planet, while the black substance was only the size of a small hill. The difference in size between the two was astronomical, but strangely, Chu Kuangren could sense both of them countering each other on equal footing.
"Is that the Doomsday Darkness?"
Chu Kuangren looked at the black substance and asked curiously.
He could feel that the Doomsday Darkness energy inside him was already acting strangely, seemingly about to escape from him.
"That's right. This is the Doomsday Darkness. However, this is only an incomplete portion of it, approximately one-tenth of its total size. But to seal this one-tenth of the Doomsday Darkness, I need to dispatch more than half of the Radiant Tribe's elites to seal it here," the Radiant Goddess elaborated.
Chu Kuangren was stunned.
That sealing power was powerful enough to seal away a Monarch.
He could not believe it was suppressing only one-tenth of the Doomsday Darkness.
"Researching the Doomsday Darkness wasn't the only thing the Dark Demonic Ruler did. He even took out a portion of the Doomsday Darkness's power from here. Eventually, it corroded him, and he turned into the Dark Demonic Ruler you know today," the Radiant Goddess continued explaining.
