Chapter 2263: None of You Can Escape, Killing the Black Dragon King, The Terrified Monarchs
Chu Kuangren was holding the Dragonslayer on the battlefield as terrifying surges of Great Daoist law energy swirled around him. His strength had surpassed the level of an ordinary Monarch.
Meanwhile, standing opposite to him, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler and the other three Monarchs were all riddled with injuries after getting hit with Chu Kuangren's Sword Twenty-four.
All of their faces had turned pale.
The Great Daoist laws inside their body and even their Monarch Hearts were trembling.
Everyone who saw what happened gasped.
Even the Radiant Goddess looked surprised.
"He's become so powerful already?"
"No, something's not right."
The Radiant Goddess quickly noticed that Chu Kuangren had not reached the Monarch Realm but had achieved that level of strength by using some unknown means.
However, that was evidence of how extraordinary he was.
"I can't believe Chu Kuangren has reached such a level. How did he do this? By the heavens, this is simply terrifying."
"This guy... I can't believe he can overpower four Monarchs."
"What a monster."
The Monarchs who noticed what was happening were all dumbfounded.
Even the Devil King, who was observing the event from the Devil Territories, was stunned.
"Ha! It looks like I don't need to help him anymore."
Now, she was even more impressed by Chu Kuangren.
Only someone like that could be her future comrade in battle and be worthy of fighting beside her.
When she thought of the inevitable battle that would come in the future, a grim look flashed across the Devil King's face.
...
"How is this possible?"
"There are four Monarchs, yet they still can't deal with Chu Kuangren? How has such a freak appeared in this era?"
In the Dragon Tribe, the Elder Dragon King was watching everything unfold in the Feng Domain. His mouth twitched uncontrollably. He, too, was aware of the invasion taking place in Feng Domain.
From his perspective, even if Chu Kuangren possessed overwhelming or seemingly god-given talents, he would die under four Monarchs' attacks.
Hence, how did things escalate to this point?
"He isn't even a real Monarch yet. When he becomes one, how terrifying will he be?" The Elder Dragon King wondered.
Although he had regarded Chu Kuangren as a threat to the Dragon Tribe, he believed that the Dragon Tribe, with its vast resources and foundations, was capable of dealing with Chu Kuangren.
However, he had no idea if they could right now.
Was the Dragon Tribe capable of dealing with a monster like that?
"I must stay calm. If things go sour, the Dragon Tribe still has the Elder Forefathers."
The Elder Dragon King took a deep breath.
The thought of the Elder Forefathers made him feel a little more relief.
Meanwhile, in the Celestial Divine Tribe, the Celestial Divine Tribe Leader also witnessed the great battle happening in Feng Domain. He pondered. "To think such an overpowered Prodigy exists in the human race. If this person doesn't die in this era, he'll surely become a Monarch — one that may surpass the Tempest King!"
At that thought, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Much like the Dragon Tribe, the Celestial Divine Tribe was very ancient too.
Compared to the human race, they had appeared far earlier in this world. However, the human race's advancement surpassed theirs, eventually making them the masters of the universe.
That fact displeased him.
During the previous era, the Tempest King reigned supreme.
Now, this era had produced someone known as Chu Kuangren.
The more talented individuals the human race produced, the more upset he was.
"We failed to kill the Tempest King in the previous era, and as for this era, we can't allow Chu Kuangren to remain any longer. The Monarch Seeds of the Celestial Divine Tribe must be ordered to take action. It's time to summon them to the Great Hongmeng Universe," the Celestial Divine Tribe Leader thought.
...
In Feng Domain, Chu Kuangren, armed with the Dragonslayer, looked at the Martial Ruler indifferently.
"Die."
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Chu Kuangren said that, he instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Black Dragon King, whom he swung his Dragonslayer at.
"B*stard!"
The Black Dragon King roared and channeled the Great Daoist law energy in his body to the limit.
He unleashed a strike with his claw!
However, his dragon claw was nothing before the likes of such tremendous energy. After it was torn apart, the attack immediately enveloped him.
As dragon scales shattered, dragon blood spilled everywhere.
The Great Dao inside the Black Dragon King's body blew up.
His Monarch's Heart also started to crack.
That attack he suffered immediately plunged him to the brink of death.
"What?"
The Black Dragon King looked horrified.
At that moment, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler attacked. He channeled his power to the limit and slashed his scimitar at Chu Kuangren. That attack was filled with nothing but a murderous aura.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren did not evade or dodge.
"I no longer take you seriously," Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Then, he swung his Dragonslayer.
The instant the two weapons clashed, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler felt a power he had never felt before from the Dragonslayer.
From just that instant, the Carnage Great Dao inside his body was already showing signs of breaking down.
He was only forced back by a single saber strike, but the bones in his arms were almost shattered from the impact.
There was also a huge hole in the scimitar he was holding.
"Myriad God Striking Lightning!"
"Divine Eightfold Dragon Hunter Slash!"
The Formation King and Dragon Hunter Leader unleashed a combined attack.
The might of his formation technique transformed into thousands of lightning bolts, each containing surges of Great Daoist law energy. That attack struck the surrounding void.
Eight saber rays locked onto various parts of Chu Kuangren's body.
"Infinity Domain!" Chu Kuangren uttered indifferently.
Suddenly, a terrifying surge of spatial energy spread from him.
That energy instantly surrounded the entire battlefield and formed an invisible barrier in Chu Kuangren's surroundings, causing the space within that area to distort.
The combined attack from the two Monarchs did him no harm because that spatial barrier blocked it.
After forcefully increasing his cultivation level to the Monarch Realm, it was no surprise that the extent of spatial energy capabilities had also reached an unprecedented level.
"What?"
The Formation King and the Dragon Hunter Leader's eyes widened in shock when they released how easily Chu Kuangren blocked the combined attack of two Monarchs.
They had no idea how it was possible.
"His combat power is getting incredibly close to the Second-class Monarchs!" The Dragon Hunter Leader gulped and said.
"I'm not a match for him! I must escape right now!"
That thought suddenly popped up in the Formation King's mind.
Even the Dragon Hunter Leader and the Apocalypse Martial Ruler were thinking of escaping.
"Hmph! None of you can hope to escape!"
Chu Kuangren chuckled, and his gaze turned cold as he took out the Timespace Treasure.
With the Infinity Domain, Timespace Treasure, and Chu Kuangren's current Monarch-level capabilities, the surroundings were instantly transformed into an impenetrable prison. Even a Monarch would find it hard to escape.
"Now, tear him apart!"
Chu Kuangren swung his Dragonslayer again, locking his attack on the already severely wounded Black Dragon King.
That weapon was already a natural counter for all dragons, but when paired with Chu Kuangren's current level of strength, the power he unleashed was nothing short of terrifying.
The Black Dragon King's body was immediately sliced in half!
Large amounts of Great Daoist law energy leaked out.
Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up. He quickly activated the Heavenly-devouring Technique, forcibly absorbing the Black Dragon King's Great Daoist law energy. He was trying to extend his peak state by force.
He might even be trying to become more powerful!
The Monarchs secretly observing the battle felt their scalps go numb.
"Is the Heaven-devouring Technique capable of devouring one's Daoist laws too?"
"By the heavens, this cultivation technique the Tempest King created is too terrifying. I wonder what level of cultivation she is at now."
"I'm afraid she's already a First-seat Monarch."
The onlookers were shocked.
As for the Apocalypse Martial Ruler and others battling Chu Kuangren, they had started to feel terrified too.
