Chapter 2133 The Person on the Bone Throne, Shenchu Ascends to the Grand Dao Realm
Refining a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure required a lot of time.
The Celestial Dzi Bead was unlike the Descendant Self Sword, which was quenched by the heavenly thunder and had a strong link with him. It even had a sword spirit infused in its blade.
That was why he could use it even without refining it.
However, the Celestial Dzi Bead was Ou Chen's, so he had to refine it before he could use it.
A few years later, Chu Kuangren managed to refine the Celestial Dzi Bead.
Up until this point, he already had three Hongmeng Supreme Treasures.
Such a lineup could rival even a Monarch.
"Master, I have news."
On the day Chu Kuangren exited his closed-door meditation, Ou Yenuo came to him and brought him to Blazing Flame Volcano.
Ever since the Flame Stabilizer Pilar exploded, the volcano's leylines had been damaged.
After multiple repairs, the leylines were slowly recovering.
Yet, recently, Ou Yenuo and his men found something strange under the volcano.
Ou Yenuo brought Chu Kuangren inside and went through the volcano's lava.
The Blazing Flame attempted to burn them alive but was s.h.i.+elded by an invisible force.
"What is that"
When Chu Kuangren arrived inside the volcano, he saw a pitch-black cave underneath.
The cave was dark, and it emanated a faint spatial energy.
It was a forest realm.
"Did you send anyone inside?"
"I did, but none returned."
"I see."
It seemed like danger lay within the forest realm.
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes and then raised his sword hand sign. He separated a part of his Primordial energy and Immortal Consciousness to form a clone.
The clone dashed inside the forest realm without hesitation.
When the clone entered the forest realm, a dense murderous aura gushed outward. It was as though he had entered purgatory.
"This aura is something else."
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes.
He looked around, but all he saw was boundless darkness.
Suddenly, several dead bodies appeared before Chu Kuangren. Upon closer look, they were the weaponsmiths of Myriad Arms City, and their Daos had been destroyed.
There were different categories of Dao destruction.
Some were broken, while some were destroyed.
However, Chu Kuangren could sense that the weaponsmiths' Daos were crushed to bits within a very short time.
Considering that not even pieces of their Dao were left, they must have been overpowered by something or someone countless times more powerful than them.
As he looked beyond the bodies, he spotted a blurry figure sitting on a throne in darkness.
The throne was made up of countless skulls and skeletons.
A chilly presence could be felt from the figure on the bone throne.
"Who is that?" Chu Kuangren squinted at the figure.
He sensed a terrifying murderous intent from that figure. Although its willpower was not as strong as the Apocalypse Martial Ruler, it was much more intense.
It reminded Chu Kuangren of a name G.o.d of Slaughter, the one that the Apocalypse Martial Society had been searching for.
Only the ancient being who once reigned the Infiniverse could possess such intense murderous intentions.
"So, is this the secret that Ou Chen mentioned?" Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the figure on the throne moved.
He opened his eyes, and terrifying murderous intentions gushed forward.
All it took was just a moment, and Chu Kuangren's clone disintegrated into dust.
Back outside the forest realm, the real Chu Kuangren opened his eyes.
He looked at the dark forest realm with a hint of reverence.
"Who would have thought the Blazing Flame Volcano hides something so terrifying? Could it really be the G.o.d of Slaughter?"
Even if it was not the G.o.d of Slaughter, the figure must be someone closely related.
Why would such a person be under a volcano?
Chu Kuangren shook his head. Then, he said to Ou Yenuo, "Seal this place. Other than me, no one is allowed access."
"Yes, sir."
After leaving the volcano, Chu Kuangren gave Ou Yenuo some blueprints. "Tell your men to build these things in secret."
Ou Yenuo was surprised when he looked at the received blueprints. "They seem to be items used in a formation. Master, are you planning to set up a formation?"
"Just make them," Chu Kuangren simply said.
The items he wanted Ou Yenuo and his men to forge were indeed for his formation.
It was the Great Water Nation Warring Map Formation, the formation that played a vital role in the battle between the Pan Gu Universe and the Central Heaven Universe.
However, he could not fully utilize the formation's power back then.
Now, he wanted to set up the formation here in the Feng Domain.
The domain had intense murderous qi and was a great source of fuel for the Great Water Nation Warring Map Formation. Perhaps it could play an important part in opposing the Apocalypse Martial Society.
Time flew by, and Chu Kuangren cultivated for many years in Myriad Arms City.
On that particular day, a thought in his mind woke him up as he sensed something from inside him.
It was an energy fluctuation from his Pocket Universe.
At a closer look, the first Chaos Celestial Demon in his Pocket Universe, Shenchu, had ascended into the Grand Dao Realm.
The moment Shenchu ascended to the Grand Dao Realm, he would gain the ability to match the Great Dao's power and have a chance to break free from the Great Dao's shackles.
Chu Kuangren was not overly surprised.
With just a thought, he released Shenchu from his Pocket Universe.
Light flowed from Chu Kuangren's body, and a figure emerged from within.
It stood majestically in front of Chu Kuangren.
The person had long silky hair and beautiful features that somehow blurred the lines of gender. He had starry light flowing around him and the Stardust Great Dao's energy rumbling in him, shaking the void around him.
"You are quite talented to have broken through the Grand Dao Tealm in such a short time," Chu Kuangren said with a satisfying nod.
As a matter of fact, Shenchu was the first living being in his Pocket Universe, the one who started it all. Hence, he could be considered the G.o.d of Creation of his Pocket Universe.
It was only normal for someone of his level to be talented.
"Where am I?"
Shenchu looked around and was surprised to find himself in an unfamiliar environment.
He could sense the difference in the Great Hongmeng Universe.
Before he could say a word, Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign at Shenchu. His Immortal Consciousness swirled at his fingertip before it was shot into Shenchu.
Shenchu tried to resist, but the restrictions of the Great Hongmeng Universe slowed him down as he had yet to adapt to the new environment, making him no match for Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren pointed at Shenchu's forehead.
At that instant, a ma.s.sive amount of information gushed into Shenchu's mind.
Shenchu absorbed and digested the information he received, learning about the world that he was in.
He looked at Chu Kuangren in shock.
The person before him was the Great Dao who nourished him!
Shenchu knelt before Chu Kuangren. "Great Dao!"
"No need for courtesy. You're a Grand Dao cultivator now. Try your best to adapt to the restrictions here," Chu Kuangren said.
"I understand."
After that, Chu Kuangren arranged for Shenchu to stay in Myriad Arms City.
He stared at Shenchu as the newly ascended Grand Dao cultivator walked away.
He pondered. "Shenchu is talented. If I raise him properly, he will become another helping hand."
Time flew by again.
On that day, the sky above the Great Hongmeng Universe grew restless, and a large amount of Hongmeng spiritual qi gathered.
Endless violet Immortal Sparks rumbled and shed their light on the land. They were so bright that they shadowed the stars.
Countless living beings on the land were in awe.
Some ancient beings, however, had expected this unusual phenomenon.
"The Hongmeng Leaderboard is here."
"I wonder which leaderboard will make its appearance first this time."
