Chapter 1974: Nine Kings Out of Cultivation, Nine Kings' Biggest Secret, Primordial's Disciple, Wu Mian
Heavenly Sword Chu Kuangren was busy refining the materials for the Great Water Nation Warring Map Formation.
Meanwhile, Green Lotus Chu Kuangren was cultivating, preparing himself to be t Pan Gu Universe's leader.
The two of them were occupied with their respective cultivations for some time.
A few years went by in the blink of an eye.
With a few years of effort, Green Lotus Chu Kuangren refined the remaining few Titan Divine Fruits. He had yet to completely refine the River Chart, the Godkiller Spear, and other Supreme Treasures manifested by the Chaos Green Lotus, but his power had increased significantly.
Aside from the Green Lotus' power, he had achieved the Perfected Embodier Realm and could start fusing with other Dao.
In other words, he was ready to move on to becoming a Multi-Embodier.
Heavenly Sword Chu Kuangren and Green Lotus Chu Kuangren shared a link in their minds, so Heavenly Sword Chu Kuangren benefited from the cultivation as well.
He had achieved Peak Embodier Realm and was one step shy from achieving Perfected to start the path of becoming a Multi-Embodier.
...
"The other me has surpassed me in terms of cultivation level." Chu Kuangren chuckled back on the Ninth Continent.
Fortunately, they were the same person, so both had cultivated the Black Sky Embodier Art. When they finally fused, Chu Kuangren could merge all his cultivations, so the comparison meant nothing.
Then, Chu Kuangren looked at the pile of materials he had refined for the formation. He muttered, "These are enough to set up one-third of the Great Water Nation Warring Map Formation, but I have to work harder."
Then, he sensed something, and his eyes glimmered.
"Oh? Are Long Shuijing and the rest out of closed-door meditation?"
...
There was a mysterious space in the Central Heaven Universe filled with nothing but Chaos.
Then, the unpredicted Chaos exploded all of a sudden and shattered like a broken mirror.
Nine figures emerged from the shattered space, releasing a boundless aura that swept across the realm.
Stars that were caught by the aura exploded, and all the cultivators in the universe sensed their terrifying energy presence.
They wondered who carried such a powerful aura.
As they sent their Immortal Consciousness to find out more, they saw nine figures standing in the sky, covered in dazzling Immortal Sparks.
Daoist Rhymes sounded from their bodies, and the faint soundwave from the rhymes echoed across the void, disrupting the spiritual qi in the realm.
"It's the Nine Kings!" someone cried in shock.
"The Nine Kings appeared together?"
"Ten years ago, the Central Heaven Temple Master summoned the Nine Kings to the temple, but there had been no news of them ever since. But now that they have finally reappeared again, they've all become God King!"
"This is scary!"
"It has only been ten years!"
"They have become God Kings in the blink of an eye!"
The Nine Kings stood in the sky with sparkling Immortal Sparks and an unrivaled aura surrounding them.
They were heaven and earth apart compared to where they were ten years ago.
"The Space-time Dimension is really mystical, but unfortunately, we can only use it once," Xuan Yuanfeng said as he savored his newly gained strength and felt sad about the Space-time Dimension.
"Guys, I believe all of you have received the Great Dao's calling," Lei Shentian said.
A weird glint flashed in the others' eyes.
"I know. I didn't know the Nine Kings had such a function as well."
"Yeah, it's quite surprising."
Xuan Yuanfeng, Lei Shentian, and the others talked to each other.
When they all became God Kings, a piece of information appeared in their minds, which was the greatest secrets of the Nine Kings.
With the Nine Kings team up, they could summon the manifestation of the Great Dao of the Central Heaven Universe, a Primordial. Then, the Nine Kings would be unstoppable in the Void Battlefield!
Summoning the manifestation was the greatest purpose of the Nine Kings.
"Before we reign over the battlefield, I have something I must complete," the Nether God said with a frosty look.
The others looked at him and had a hunch about what he was referring to.
Luo Xue, Tianxing Cai, and the others looked at him with frosty eyes.
"You want to fight the Heavenly Sword?"
The Nether God scoffed. "Until the day I defeat him, I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart. I must break the Heavenly Sword!"
Then, his figure flashed and disappeared.
His cultivation base had improved a lot compared to when he first entered the Space-time Dimension. Now, he was a Peak God King, the strongest among the Nine Kings!
Other than his cultivation base, he had trump cards as well. He strongly believed that after spending a thousand years cultivating in the Space-time Dimension, he would be able to defeat Chu Kuangren to avenge himself.
"The Nether God is really impatient."
"Did he leave already? I was the one who wanted to fight the Heavenly Sword," Luo Yunxiu said.
He savored the substantial energy in his body after breaking through to the God King Realm, which fueled his confidence.
He was toyed with like a monkey before and swore to take revenge on Chu Kuangren.
"All of you are foolish"
Long Shuijing looked at them and said with a shake of her head. She believed the others were carried away by their newly gained status.
Did they really think they could defeat the Heavenly Sword now that they were God Kings?
Even if they were the Nine Kings, the Outlier God Kings, it was unrealistic trying to take revenge on the Heavenly Sword.
Unfortunately, none of them understood that point.
Nether God Might be strong, but Long Shuijin believed he was not strong enough to defeat the Heavenly Sword. Nevertheless, he sent a message to the Heavenly Sword and informed him of the Nine Kings.
Back in the Central Heaven Temple, Shen Tian sat inside a spacious palace with his legs crossed and had bags of treasures surrounding him.
Most of them contained powerful vital forces.
Shen Tian was trying to recover his injuries by absorbing the treasure's vital force.
Then, someone came in.
It was a black-haired young man.
"Oh, you've come out of closed-door cultivation," Shen Tian said after a glance at the young man.
"Greetings, Honorable Teacher."
The young man bowed at Shen Tian.
He was the disciple of the Primordial.
"Not bad. You have achieved the God King Realm. What a great improvement," Shen Tian said with a smile, seemingly delighted by the young man's improvement.
"I've learned about what happened in the past few years, including the Nine Kings and the war between the two universes. I will head to the Void Battlefield after a while and wipe them clean to avenge my master."
The black-haired young man looked cold.
"Wu Mian, this is a universal war. You cannot act recklessly," Shen Tian said seriously.
"Honorable Teacher, Wu Han of the Pan Gu Universe is sealed and you and Senior Feng Huang were heavily injured. Based on your opinion, what is the key to the Central Heaven Univere's victory?" Wu Mian asked.
"There's actually two: the Nine Kings and the Heavenly Sword!"
Shen Tian added, "The Nine Kings can summon the manifestation of the Great Dao when together and be a sharp scythe to reap the enemies' soul, while the Heavenly Sword is an anomaly that is difficult to predict. These are the two keys to the Central Heaven Universe's success."
Wu Mian nodded and said, "Honorable Teacher, rest well and recover quickly. Wu Mian will head to the Void Battlefield to share your burden."
"Go. Be careful out there."
"Yes, sir!"
Wu Mian then left the palace and made his way to the Void Battlefield. There was a strong ambition in his eyes.
"The Nine Kings and the Heavenly Sword are the keys to victory? Honorable Teacher, I will show you that I'm stronger than any one of the Nine Kings and also the Heavenly Sword!"
