Chapter 1035: 757: True Monarch? Ant?
The core of the battlefield.
Just as Wu Geng finished chanting his own honorific title, his body shook violently, his eyes cleared, filled with a fear that chilled his soul.
“Not good!”
“I’ve been schemed against!”
“True Monarch Kuimu from beyond the realm secretly made moves, deliberately luring me onto the path of gold-seeking, triggering the use of the Ancient Technique journey!”
Today’s rush to the Golden Position and the act to journey with Kuimu were not his true intentions.
He frantically recalled his cultivation years, combing through every past experience…
However, he could never understand when he had been in contact with True Monarchs from other dimensions, falling into a vast net laid by others.
“Things have reached this point, all retreats are cut off, only by fighting to the death can there be a slim chance for survival!”
Wu Geng clenched his teeth, and the newly acquired [Kuimu] authority fully erupted.
A thick, boundless Qingmu celebration cloud rose above his head, stretching billions of miles, fiercely countering the deadly blows from three sides.
Facing the moves of three True Monarchs was just a single confrontation.
Puff!!
Wu Geng’s body flew wildly like a kite with a broken string for billions of miles, almost left with irreversible fatal wounds.
“Hold on!”
“Since True Monarch Kuimu has made secret moves, leading me on a detour, he won’t just watch me fall here. He must have left a contingency plan!”
The next moment, the true bodies of three True Monarchs crossed the Void Barrier, simultaneously descending upon the Southern Border battlefield!
“Kill!”
“Cheng Kong, today you will certainly die!!”
“Kill!!”
Boom—!!
Billion-mile layers of void collapsed and fragmented, entire regions disappeared inch by inch.
The earth sank ten thousand feet, underground volcanoes erupted into the sky, the ocean waves on the Nine Heavens swept the star track…
Heaven and earth became desolate and silent, the scene akin to a re-enactment of the primordial chaos before the heavens and earth, returning to the void.
Core of the tri-sided battle.
The Southern Border fertile land, once comparable to a hundred thousand central worlds, was flattened instantly by the collision of the authorities of three True Monarchs.
The legitimate golden authorities of wood, water, and sun clashed crazily, tearing at each other.
The balancing power of the Five Elements restrained each other, annihilating each other, generating in the gaps a boundless dark destructive storm, devouring everything along its path, material and immaterial alike.
The immeasurable calamity energy erupted from the center point of three-sided authority collisions, sweeping across the entire dimensional realm.
Under the sweep of immeasurable calamity energy!
Instantly, heavens collapsed, earth shattered, Yin and Yang inverted, time and space laws chaotic and twisted.
Billions of affiliated worlds, thousands of independent grotto heavens, immeasurable spatial dimensions, simultaneously faced an unprecedented apocalypse since the creation of the world.
All beings whose cultivation did not reach the Purple Mansion Realm could not withstand the residual impact of the calamity energy, perishing completely in this boundless destructive storm.
Above the cloud sea.
The myriad observing Purple Mansion True Masters stood rigidly, their Divine Souls ceaselessly shaken by the external calamity waves, their whole bodies trembling continuously.
Their once expectant state of mind now left only with shock and terror.
Many True Masters, usually maintaining a stable mood and rarely showing emotions, had their eyes wide open, losing every bit of a lofty calm demeanor.
“This… is this the true divine might of the True Monarchs?”
“Just the residual waves of their clash are enough to trigger such an apocalyptic calamity, terrifying beyond measure!!”
Just as the entire void sank into destruction.
A long sigh spread far and wide, resonating layer upon layer within the boundless chaos and overwhelming calamity, drowning out all thunderous explosions.
Amidst the sigh, a white, slender hand slowly emerged from the depths of the ancient snow domain in the extreme north.
In that moment, the chaotic, tumultuous void thoroughly froze in place.
The sweeping destruction storm vanished on the spot, and the lifebound authorities wielded by Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui, True Buddha of Destiny, and Unobstructed Buddha all came to a halt.
All Purple Mansion True Masters above the cloud sea shuddered as one, instinctively lifting their eyes to the source of the sigh.
In the core of the ancient snow domain, a detached figure gradually appeared, Chen Sheng standing quietly in the void, serene in expression, neither joyful nor sorrowful.
His form wasn’t particularly towering, yet in everyone’s sight, he seemed like the central origin of this dimensional realm, vast and boundless, transcending all heavens.
True Buddha of Destiny’s pupils suddenly contracted, exclaiming:
“What!!”
“Wuchen, your power foundation is actually this formidable!!”
Beside him, Unobstructed Buddha forcibly shifted the topic, attempting to gather support from various sides.
“King Buddha, you arrived just in time!”
“This person secretly colludes with True Monarch Star Constellations, attempting to steal our Dao lineage, he must be executed on the spot to prevent future troubles!!”
“You are also one of the sovereigns of the Four Spiritual Mountain Lineages, do you intend to just watch foreign forces absorb the foundational inheritance of our Sun Residence lineage?”
Chen Sheng lowered his eyes, seemingly smiling, his gazing softly falling upon Unobstructed Buddha:
“Friend, no need to speak further!”
“I will send you off!”
Before his words fell completely, a golden Seven Treasures Dao Treasure Banner manifested in Chen Sheng’s palm, with a casual push, transforming into a stream of light directly shooting towards Unobstructed Buddha.
Boom!
The banner’s flying speed seemed extremely slow, but in reality, it embodied the [Rule Embryo], faster than anything imaginable by creatures of this world.
Its path ignored defense, ignored barriers, penetrating the limits of reality and illusion, fragmenting points of void space along its trajectory, transforming them into vacuum.
A thunder exploded in Unobstructed Buddha’s mind, loudly signaling danger.
“This force!!”
“Unstoppable!”
“Unstoppable!!”
Boundless terror engulfed him entirely with no room for resistance or solution.
He felt that all the world’s dazzling words were insufficient to describe even one-ten-millionth of the essence of this strike.
So magnificent!
“Dying from this move, perhaps it is worth it~”
A ridiculous thought surfaced in his mind.
Boom!
The dust settled with a thunderous sound.
Billions of miles away, the entire chaotic void where Unobstructed Buddha stood was completely annihilated by the treasure banner, reduced to an empty nothingness.
Unobstructed Buddha fell on the spot!
True Buddha of Destiny lifted his eyes, witnessing this terrifying scene, his Buddha Power chaotic and shaking.
“Unobstructed!!”
The next moment.
His eyes fixated on the firmament, clearly seeing the authority glorious glow of Kuimu Star Constellation wrapped around Chen Sheng, causing a storm within his heart.
“Kuimu! Void Sun!”
“You actually absorbed the second Golden Position!!”
Beside him, Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui heard, his Heart Spirit disoriented, incredulous.
His senior sister, heavenly gifted above all heavens, had planned for countless years just to refine the second Golden Position, yet she still sleeps in seclusion, unable to succeed.
This Wuchen, ascending to the Void Sun Golden Position just recently, had already successfully wielded two star constellation authorities!
To the side, Wu Geng, still trapped, was greatly shocked and only then did he fully awaken.
“So it was this person who set the piece!”
“Lured me for gold!”
“Indeed, this person is the protagonist of the Void Sun, most likely to discover my identity!!”
He quickly realized that the [Beiji Sacrifice Void Wuchen King Buddha] before him was orchestrating a grand scheme encompassing the entire dimension.
Luring him for gold and Kuimu was merely bait to entice the true forms of Destiny, Unobstructed, and True Monarch Zhen Shui to reveal themselves.
Otherwise, given the cautious and suspicious nature of the three, they would never rush to the Southern Border battlefield in person.
…
The True Buddha of Destiny forcefully suppressed the extreme terror within and shouted sternly:
“Join hands together!!”
“Otherwise, none of us will be able to leave this place alive today!”
Hearing this, Chen Sheng slowly raised his head, a peculiar light flashing in his inexplicable eyes.
“Too weak!”
“Could they actually be this weak?”
As it is said, the Dao is just a line higher and boundlessly so!
Moreover, Chen Sheng mastered both the Void Sun and Kuimu Golden Positions, wielding the [Rule Embryo], comparable to a Mahayana Fourth Step powerhouse.
Looking at the few before him, the strongest, the True Buddha of Destiny, even when fighting desperately, disregarding pollution, had a maximum combat strength only at the Mahayana Second Step.
“So weak, yet they still dream of escaping?”
Upon hearing the scream of the True Buddha of Destiny, Chen Sheng let out a cold snort through his nostrils, casually lowering an alabaster finger from above.
“Ant!”
“Die!!”
The finger appeared weightless, seemingly devoid of any power.
Yet, the True Buddha of Destiny’s every hair stood on end, a thought identical to that of Unobstructed Buddha just before rose in his heart.
“Unstoppable!”
“Completely unstoppable!!”
The True Buddha of Destiny shouted in his heart in mad rage:
“I don’t believe it!!”
He burned his own complete authority over Fangri, unleashing an endless flood of Buddha Power from his Lifebound Zen Staff.
“Fangri Torrent!”
“Destiny is Only Mine!”
“Buddha Lord of Heaven and Earth!!”
…
An overwhelming flood of countless Fangri Divine Techniques surged towards Chen Sheng, covering the sky.
This strike could annihilate an entire Grand Thousand cosmos!!
Yet such Divine Techniques, upon reaching Chen Sheng’s presence, appeared to merely brush like a gentle breeze, only ruffling a few strands of hair without causing him any harm.
Instead, it was Chen Sheng who crushed down with a single finger.
“Ah!!”
The True Buddha of Destiny let out a shrill scream as his Lifebound Zen Staff shattered inch by inch, his body exploding into countless particles, his True Spirit obliterated on the spot.
Just one finger, and a True Monarch fell.
Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui, witnessing the entire process, was left with only one thought in his heart:
“Flee!”
“Escape this place no matter what!”
But just as the urge to escape arose in him, Chen Sheng casually unleashed another palm.
Rumbling!
The world shook violently, all laws turning into ashes.
Only a cracking sound was heard!
The giant palm shattered layers of Water Virtue Cloud, descending swiftly, and under the desperate gaze of Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui, crushed his head.
“Ah! No!!”
Filled with unwillingness and despair, Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui couldn’t even utter a plea before being obliterated by the Palm Force in the void.
Wu Geng stood in the distant void, his expression horrified and dazed.
“Too brutal!”
“Too ruthless!!”
In the blink of an eye, three True Monarchs at the pinnacle of the heavens were slain, terrifying to the point of suffocation.
He had not the slightest thought of resistance in his heart:
“Spare me, King Buddha, spare me!!”
“I am willing to bow and serve loyally, without any second thoughts!”
Chen Sheng finally ceased his actions, sighing inwardly:
“Unknowingly, has the Mahayana Venerable become an ant in my eyes?”
“They can’t even withstand a single strike!!”
Chen Sheng glanced down at Wu Geng, who was kneeling and unmoving, slightly raising an eyebrow, coldly uttering four words.
“Establish a Dao Contract.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Wu Geng immediately burned the Kuimu Origin, establishing a Dao Contract of eternal loyalty and never betraying.
At the moment the Dao Contract took form, Wu Geng changed his designation, bowing deeply with utmost reverence.
“Subordinate pays respects to the Lord!”
Chen Sheng nodded:
“Rise!”
“Yes!”
After a while.
Wu Geng rose, his gaze turned towards the direction of the sky where the two Holy Lands, Spirit Mountain and Profound Sect, were situated.
“My Lord, although the three True Monarchs’ true forms have fallen, the origins of their respective Immortal Mansions remain unscathed.”
“As long as the Immortal Mansion remains intact, they can rebuild their true forms and return, posing endless future troubles.”
The True Monarch of Gold can’t be killed nor destroyed; even if the True Spirit falls, it can be revived!
It’s an innate advantage.
But this advantage is not insurmountable, otherwise Cheng Kong wouldn’t have been forced into reincarnation back then.
Chen Sheng gave a light glance at the kneeling Wu Geng, who harbored thoughts of revenge, and casually said:
“Handle this matter.”
Wu Geng’s eyes suddenly gleamed with insight:
“Understood, my Lord!”
Back then, Destiny and others conspired together, forcing him into reincarnation, and today when their true forms fall is the best chance for revenge.
He knew all too well how to deal with these impaired True Monarchs.
Back then, he decisively chose reincarnation, but whether these three have the courage is another matter!!
Achieving True Monarch status is no easy feat!!
Chen Sheng nodded, after this battle, this dimension is essentially clean, many hidden threats preemptively eradicated by him.
Next, he would seek the third Golden Position!
