2490 Despair’s Retaliation, Tian Lu Gives Away His Life, Without God Emperor, Chu Kuangren Is Undefeatable
“Chu Kuangren, have a taste of Despair’s retaliation!”
Tian Lu roared and further increased his green wicked qi.
He started to ignite his life force and Source energy to acquire power beyond his limits.
Chu Kuangren would be the only one since the beginning of time to force the Blade of Despair to that point.
Back in the Divine Tribulation Mountain, the Tribulation Lord had a screen before him, showing him the battle between Chu Kuangren and Tian Lu.
“Captain of the Forbidden Guards, you are really loyal. Chu Kuangren, let me see your true strength,” the Tribulation Lord said with heightened interest.
He had lived for far too long, and since he was the master of all tribulations, he had seen all kinds of gods and humans.
There was almost nothing in the universe that interested him.
The Human Ancestor was one, and now it was Chu Kuangren.
“The hope of survival from the Supreme Realm Tribulation, I’m looking forward to your performance.”
…
Chu Kuangren looked at Tian Lu, who had ignited his life force and Source energy for more power. He grinned and said, “That’s more like it. It seems like I have to treat this more seriously.”
He reached forward and closed his fist in the void.
A white stream of light flashed past, forming a crystal sword that was the Descendant Self Sword.
“Die!” Tian Lu roared.
The green sword and the black-robed figure combined into one and dashed forward like a bolt of lightning.
His power level had exceeded his prime state.
The power he currently wielded was stronger than the Blade of Despair that once terrorized the old Infinity War.
“Eternal Sorrow!”
Endless sorrowful intent expanded and attacked everyone’s mind.
The slash made the heavens weep.
Chu Kuangren slashed forward with the Descendant Self Sword.
The moment the two swords clashed, a massive storm broke out, and blinding light shone.
The light was so bright that it pierced cloud nine and even destroyed stars in the universe.
Since Tian Lu’s first attack did not work, he quickly followed up with the second attack.
“Empty Blade, Great Dao Slash!”
“Kabaam!”
Green wicked qi rose, and endless rage qi surged.
The slash contained the power of an entire Great Dao. Its terrifying power shook even Naraka.
However, Chu Kuangren remained unfazed by the powerful slash. Instead, he countered with a slash that contained the sword intent of past and present.
“Sword Twenty-six!”
As their fight continued, the void shattered like a mirror. The reflection of the void shards showed the two of them fighting furiously and the glaring sword ray that pierced the clouds.
Even the spatial boundary that Chu Kuangren summoned earlier had been destroyed, but it was no longer useful because Tian Lu had no thoughts of leaving.
The only thing on his mind was murder. He wanted to drag Chu Kuangren down to hell together.
“Clank! Clank! Clank!”
The swords clashed countless times.
Each clash produced a storm of sword rays and sword qi that contained Source energy and Daoist law energy, and they swept across the land like natural disasters.
Naraka was on the verge of collapsing due to the fight between Chu Kuangren and Tian Lu.
The sword rays canceled out countless tribulations.
Fortunately, Naraka existed because of the Tribulation Lord. As long as the Tribulation Lord existed, Naraka would exist and heal itself.
Otherwise, not only Naraka but even the other major domains would be vaporized by the intensity of the battle.
If their battle escalated to a universal level, countless universes would be destroyed.
It would be one of the fiercest battles between some of the strongest cultivators in the Infiniverse.
“This is true power!”
The cultivators watching the battle from afar were amazed by the power displayed. They had nothing but admiration and desire for such power.
Some of them shook their heads helplessly.
No matter how much they desired such power, they might not get the chance to even acquire one-millionth of it.
The sword rays clashed like meteors clashing, pushing both parties back.
Tian Lu was already covered in sword marks and bleeding profusely. The Great Dao and Source energy in him had started to crumble.
On the other hand, other than having some dirt on his white robes and his hair slightly messed up, Chu Kuangren was unscathed.
He remained transcendental with each move he made.
His power would leave his opponents in despair!
That was right — despair!
How ironic!
The Blade of Despair, who was used to inflicting the same feeling on his enemies, was finally experiencing true despair for once in his life. He looked at Chu Kuangren and saw no hope of beating him.
“The Human Ancestor must’ve been much more powerful than Chu Kuangren is now.
“The God Emperor has been fighting someone so powerful all this time, yet I’m helpless against Chu Kuangren. I’m unworthy of serving the emperor anymore,” Tian Lu murmured.
Sorrow drowned him whole.
This time, he was sad because he was not strong enough.
However, after the brief sadness, his sword intent rose sharply. Endless Source energy erupted from his body and was infused into his blade.
“I may be helpless, but for my emperor, I am willing to swing this blade one last time!”
“Despair Massacre Slash!”
Following his desperate shout, Tian Lu raised his sword high, and a huge sword shadow manifested in space.
Its sword ray outshone even the stars in the sky.
As he slashed it down, worlds were divided, chaos returned, and the Infiniverse was drowned in absolute sorrow and despair.
In the face of that attack, Chu Kuangren tightened his grip on the Descendant Self Sword and narrowed his eyes.
“Sword Twenty-six, Alter. Infiniverse Slash!”
He thrust the sword upward, releasing endless sword qi ahead. Three thousand Daoist laws and sword intent of past and present were unleashed.
The moment the ultimate slashes clashed, the entire Infiniverse shook.
All the swords and sabers in the Great Hongmeng Universe buzzed in response to the clash.
The sword ray shone brightly and punctured a hole in Tian Lu’s chest.
“I said I will kill you here and now, and I am a man of my word.”
Chu Kuangren sheathed Descendant Self Sword and stood with his hands behind his back.
Tian Lu laughed upon hearing Chu Kuangren. “Killing me is easy, but you’re not strong enough to even lay a scratch on the emperor. You can’t win, Chu Kuangren!”
Then, he turned to the direction of the Primal Kingdom and fell onto his knees.
“God Emperor, may you complete your conquest and revert the universe to its primal state!”
Following that, an endless sword qi burst from his body.
“Bang!”
His body exploded, and his Great Dao was completely destroyed.
The Blade of Despair, the executioner of the Primal Kingdom, the captain of the Forbidden Guards, and the powerhouse who was given a legendary status, was dead.
Chu Kuangren stood tall and unfazed as he looked in the same direction as Tian Lu. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
“God Emperor, I’m looking forward to meeting you. Without you, nothing in the Infiniverse interests me anymore. I am quite lonely.”
…
Somewhere in the void, a man in golden robes and with golden hair was bound by countless golden chains.
There were three thousand golden chains that restrained him. Each chain represented one Great Dao.
Suddenly, the man opened his golden eyes. The shining glimmers from his eyes released a sliver of his energy that spread across the Infiniverse.
The Infiniverse was shaken once more.
“Tian Lu has been killed? Too bad, he’s quite a decent subordinate,” the man murmured.
He then closed his eyes, seemingly resting or gathering energy to bring the most terrifying disaster to the Infiniverse.
