"I shouldn't be relying on Lan that much. As her master, I should really be stronger," Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
Then, an astonis.h.i.+ng burst of Radiant energy came from further away.
The Radiant Bridge appeared, and the Radiant G.o.ddess arrived before Chu Kuangren.
When she saw the Tempest King Avatar, she narrowed her eyes. She bowed and said, "Tempest King."
The Radiant G.o.ddess knew of the Tempest King, who had been a Monarch since the previous era. She did not expect the Tempest King to be so ridiculously strong that she defeated the Apocalypse Martial Ruler with only an avatar.
"Radiant G.o.ddess, I've heard a lot about you."
In terms of strength, the Tempest King was not afraid of any Monarchs.
In terms of experience, she fell short compared to the Radiant G.o.ddess, who had been a Monarch since many eras ago.
Even the Apocalypse Martial Ruler was more experienced than her.
However, she did not get the chance to meet the two of them during the previous era.
"Me, too."
The Radiant G.o.ddess looked at the Tempest King with a smile.
She was in awe of the difference in strength between the two of them.
She became a Monarch many eras before the Tempest King but was not as strong or gifted as the Tempest King, who had a much higher potential in cultivation.
"G.o.ddess, thank you for your support." Chu Kuangren bowed at the Radiant G.o.ddess.
Not only did she send the Radiant Left Sky King and the others to help, but she even used the Daoist Core Oath. Even though she did it because he was the Child of Light, the friends.h.i.+p was real.
"You thanked them, but what about me?" A coquettish voice sounded.
Chu Kuangren felt a burning sensation in his left eye.
He smiled bitterly.
Not far away, a bewitching and alluring woman with jet-black wings on her back approached gracefully. Her willowy waist swayed with every step, and she exuded an enchanting allure.
Every move she took was s.e.xy, and it made countless cultivators blush.
Even the female cultivators were attracted by her charms.
It was the Devil King, the ancient king who was much more alluring than common succubus and possessed the strong demeanor of a ruler.
Her charms did not only work on men but also on women.
Chu Kuangren looked at her. He knew it was not the Devil King's real self but a projection of her willpower thought-form. Hence, he was not afraid that she might do something out of the blue.
"How can I forget the Devil King's support?"
For unknown reasons, the Devil King helped him as well, so he had to express his grat.i.tude.
"If you want, I can do more than just give you moral support. I have hundreds of millions of devil soldiers at your disposal," the Devil King said with an enchanting smile.
She spoke the most terrifying words using the most alluring tone.
The Dragon Tribe and the Celestial Divine Tribe, who were watching from the dark, were terrified by her words. They were not sure if she was being serious or if she was just teasing Chu Kuangren.
Now, they were more afraid of Chu Kuangren than ever.
The others were also shocked by the Devil King's words, and it only fueled their jealousy for Chu Kuangren.
"The Radiant G.o.ddess, the Devil King, and the Tempest King… To have three Monarchs on his side, he's really terrifying."
"Not only that, but the three Monarchs are also absolute beauties, which is the most enviable."
"I'm so jealous of him."
"He's like the king of kept man!"
"Not only is he a kept man, but he's powerful enough to kill Jue Jian and Elder Dragon Xingyun. Are you people as strong as him?"
"You're right…"
With the Tempest King, the Radiant G.o.ddess, and the Devil King surrounding Chu Kuangren in the sky, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The ladies looked at each other, each having their own thoughts.
"Chu Kuangren is the Radiant Church's Child of Light, so why would the Devil King help him to such an extent? What does she see in him? And there's an extreme source of evil inside him. It's the Devil energy, but did she give it to him? Would it affect Chu Kuangren's Radiant energy?" the Radiant G.o.ddess thought to herself.
The Child of Light was the key to countering the Doomsday Darkness, so she had to be careful.
Anything that might affect her plan had to be considered.
"Honorable Teacher has only arrived in the Great Hongmeng Universe not long ago, but he has made enemies with multiple Monarch-cla.s.s forces. The Radiant G.o.ddess and Devil King are quite friendly with him, but what are they planning?
"Whatever. Since the two of them stood against the Dragon Tribe and the Celestial Divine Tribe for the sake of Honorable Teacher, at least they won't hurt him now. I have to settle my things as soon as possible and come back here to protect him. With me around, no one can hurt the Honorable Teacher!" the Tempest King thought.
Even though she was handling something urgent and important, nothing was more important than Chu Kuangren's safety.
"Interesting. This little one is much more interesting than I thought. So the Tempest King is his disciple? If I can get him on my side, does it mean I can get the Tempest King as well? That would be great!"
The Devil King looked at Chu Kuangren. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was.
She no longer desired Chu Kuangren's Supreme Treasures or his cultivation technique. She did not even care if he could soothe her wicked thoughts with the Bodhi Samadhi. She simply wanted him as a person.
Chu Kuangren looked at the ladies and cleared his throat awkwardly. "Ladies, this fight is over. Why don't you guys come to my place and have a drink?"
"Little one, if you have time, drop by the Devil Tribe, and I'll let you taste the most beautiful wine the Devil Tribe has brewed." The Devil King smiled attractively before she faded.
She did not mention anything about taking back the Devil's Pupil. It was as if she had tacitly allowed him to possess it.
The Tempest King Avatar also started to disintegrate into light particles. "Honorable Teacher, my avatar's energy is depleted. Please take care of yourself from now on."
With that, she dispersed into countless light particles, but a beam of light entered Chu Kuangren's forehead, transforming into a mystical cultivation technique.
It was the Heaven-devouring Technique!
Chu Kuangren was surprised. The cultivation technique was ridiculously strong, strong enough for the Tempest King Avatar to defeat another Monarch.
If he could master it, he would have another powerful trump card.
Chu Kuangren then looked at the Radiant G.o.ddess.
She nodded and followed him to Myriad Arms City.
After a brief reunion, the Radiant G.o.ddess returned to the Holy Radiant Church.
"Heavenly Formation Palace?"
The Radiant G.o.ddess said it was the Formation King who got in her way.
Chu Kuangren noted her words carefully. He intended to hold the Heavenly Formation Palace accountable for their actions in the future.
He intended to let the Formation King know the consequences of messing with him.
"The next thing would be the cultivators from the Pan Gu Universe."
Chu Kuangren gathered all of them together to form his own force so that he could organize and plan for their future better in the ma.s.sive Great Hongmeng Universe.
It was time to meet all of them and discuss the matter.
