The Divine Entrapment Rune surfaced, and a surge of incredibly ruthless runic enigma energy suddenly shrouded Chu Kuangren entirely. It suppressed both his spiritual power and cultivation.
Even the power that he could exert with his Dao had been greatly reduced.
“My fellow friends, I’ve consumed too much energy casting this rune. I shall leave this guy to you guys now!” Runic Sovereign Xiao said to Tempest Sword Sovereign and the others.
“Rest assured, Runic Sovereign Xiao. He’s going to die one way or the other today!”
“Hmph! Kill him!”
“Chu Kuangren, the only way out for you today is death!”
Tempest Sword Sovereign and the rest of the Sovereigns charged and attacked Chu Kuangren.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren, who had been suppressed by the Divine Entrapment Rune, could not showcase the scale of power that he had shown earlier. Under the relentless blows from the Sovereigns who wielded Emperor Weapons, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
“Tempest Sword Slash!!”
“Divine Cosmos Illumination!”
Several attacks were made, which caused Chu Kuangren to fly into the air.
Nevertheless, his body was way too sturdy.
Even if his spiritual power cultivation, Dao, and Emperor qi were suppressed by the Divine Entrapment Rune, his powerful physical body still had an incredibly amazing combat strength. He did not show any sign of falling behind but did not seem like he was winning either.
The Sovereigns grew increasingly anxious.
He had been suppressed to such an extent, and he still was not defeated?!
How scary was this guy?!
Was he even human?!
“This can’t go on. Runic Sovereign Xiao’s Divine Entrapment Rune cannot hold him off for too long. If we don’t use this window to seize this opportunity to kill him, we will never be presented with another chance as good as this one!”
The Holy Light’s Chief Sovereign’s eyes revealed a look of determination.
All of a sudden, divine fire ignited on his body as he chanted religiously, “All hail the Holy God of Light. Your humble servant has lit up a divine fire to beg for your arrival…”
Holy Light’s Chief Sovereign even resorted to worshipping and asking for the deities to descend upon them!
In an instant, wave after wave of Holy Divine Fire gushed out from the Holy Light Chief Sovereign’s body like torrents, setting the void in front of them ablaze.
Amidst that endless divine fire, an ethereal figure appeared. His golden eyes glanced across the entire scene, his terrifying divine might intimidated everyone.
“That’s… a deity?!”
“It’s the God of Light. So the Holy Light Religion does indeed have a deity?!”
“Terrifying. I can’t believe the Holy Light Religion does have the capability of summoning a deity. Don’t stop me. I want to join the religion!”
Certain cultivators automatically felt a sense of reverence upon seeing the God of Light. Deep down, they could not help but feel amazed at this prospect.
Some of them even knelt in the direction of the God of Light, singing praises of the divine, as if they had all turned into devout believers.
On the other side, Dark Shadow’s Chief Sovereign gritted hard on his teeth too. “Since you’ve pulled off such a high-level trick, I can’t just sit by and watch you steal the limelight, can I?”
With that, powerful dark energy erupted from his body as he worshipped to the sky. “Oh, almighty God of Darkness, this is your devout follower calling out for you…”
Appalling dark energy emanated and surrounded the place. An enormous black abyss suddenly appeared in the void while a stalwart black figure slowly walked out of it. The figure was dark and deep as if there was no light…
Only that pair of glinting eyes looked celestial.
A Deity’s might that was not at all inferior to the God of Light poured out from that apparition. It was the God of Darkness that the Dark Shadow Religion worshipped.
A strand of the two great deities’ consciousness had descended upon the realm, shocking the entire firmament.
That Deity’s sheer might astounded the cultivators around. Some with a weak Daoist core immediately fell down to their knees to worship them.
The Sovereigns themselves were rather terrified too.
“These two religions do have exquisite moves of their own.”
“Are these the Deities that they had always mentioned? I wonder if they were to be put up against the fabled Emperors, who would be stronger?!”
Coming from archaic ancient orthodoxies, these Sovereigns had a certain level of understanding for Deities. Hence, they did not worship them like the rest of the people.
What they feared were their powers.
Two great Deities stood at either side of each other.
Light and dark energy met in the air and divided. The moment the Deities met eyes with each other, they made their moves.
Light and dark were incompatible forces.
This did not only apply to the concepts of the two religions but the two Deity’s relationship as well. A heated battle would ensue every time they met face to face.
As such, they were under the impression that they had been summoned to face off against each other.
Seeing that, the two Chief Sovereigns’ expressions changed and quickly came forth to stop them.
“God almighty, the heretic is right there.”
The Chief Sovereign pointed toward Chu Kuangren and said.
If this battle were to proceed, they would certainly become the laughing stock.
“Oh, it’s you.”
The God of Light swept a glance at Chu Kuangren, immediately noticing that the energy on his opponent was the being who shattered his telepathic clone the other day.
At the thought of that, an ice-cold gaze shot out from his eyes.
The God of Darkness, too, stared at Chu Kuangren profoundly when he saw him. “I never imagined that I’d join forces with the God of Light one day. This is unbelievable.”
However, their consciousnesses were summoned out here just to help the two Chief Sovereigns defeat their common enemy.
It did not matter who the enemy was or who they had to work with to beat the enemy.
“You filthy heretic, die!”
The God of Light thrust a finger in Chu Kuangren’s direction.
Similarly, the God of Darkness sent out a black torrent.
The two Deity’s telepathic clones allied themselves and attacked Chu Kuangren together. Surely none of the Sovereigns at the scene could endure the sheer intensity from their magnificent powers.
Not even Chu Kuangren could sustain the attack as he was flung out several hundred meters away, and that incredibly sturdy physique of his could not avoid getting hurt.
Tempest Sword Sovereign, Demonic Tribe’s Sovereign, and the rest of them followed up with their respective attacks as well. Sword qi, saber light, and all kinds of energies coursed toward Chu Kuangren maliciously, trying to kill him right there and then!
A distance away, back inside the Seven Emotions Sect, Leng Ningyu, Chi Yue and the few others felt as if their hearts were jumping out as they kept a close eye on the development of the battle.
“Inverted Universe!”
Chu Kuangren cast one of his Invincible Techniques but still could not prevent himself from being pushed back.
He was now in a disadvantageous position.
By now, the cultivators around seemed to have pre-determined the outcome.
“Heretic, my next move will end you once and for all!” The God of Light remarked indifferently, his boundless Deity’s might hitting the void like a tsunami.
The God of Darkness also raised his hand, amassing horrifying dark energy.
With the Divine Entrapment Rune suppressing their opponent and the two Deities joining forces, the Sovereigns stared at Chu Kuangren viciously. All of them were charging their powers, preparing to bring him one final blow.
Chu Kuangren had been put in a dire situation!
Right at this moment, he suddenly roared into the sky.
“Deity? Do you guys even qualify to call yourselves Deities? Are you guys even worthy of taking my life?!
Along with his loud roar, the energy on Chu Kuangren’s body escalated gradually, and a surge of formidable Daoist Rhyme emanated from his body.
The Sovereigns’ eyes widened at this sight.
“This energy… it’s the Ultimate Dao!!”
“He has broken through the final stage. His Dao has attained the Ultimate level!!”
The Sovereigns were flabbergasted.
Ultimate Dao was the highest rank of Dao before the Emperor’s Dao, just like how those below the level of Emperors could only produce nine strands of Emperor qi.
Ultimate Dao was the highest stage any being below an Emperor could attain.
“Haha, Sovereigns, I have to thank you all for this. If not for your continuous suppression, I would’ve needed much more time to achieve the Ultimate Dao.” Chu Kuangren laughed out loud and said.
His Dao was initially at the Peak Perfected stage, so he was only left with one step to break through to the Ultimate stage.
Now, under the flanking from the group of Sovereigns, the clash between Daos was able to push his Dao to the final stage, the Ultimate stage!
The Sovereigns were more shocked to hear what he said.
Chu Kuangren had been using them to polish his own Dao!
Polishing Dao in the midst of battles!
Who would have thought that he had the ability to pull that off even while facing the attacks from dozens of Sovereigns!
Did this guy take them seriously?
