"T-This energy… The Master of Destiny?"
The Monarchs who sensed the energy contained in the cursed beast were shocked and shaken. They were afraid of it.
The Master of Destiny was an ancient name — one that was once known by all across the Infiniverse.
However, less than a handful of people had seen him in person.
It was undeniable that he possessed a power that could affect the entire Infiniverse, and he was considered one of the biggest mysteries of the Infiniverse.
The Master of Destiny had disappeared for eons.
Now, the Monarchs who had been lucky enough to have dealt with the Master of Destiny or the Dive Destiny Temple sensed the same aura from the cursed beast. How could they not be shocked or horrified?
If the Master of Destiny had reappeared, they would have to carry out the contract they made with the Divine Destiny Temple.
Only they themselves knew the content of the contract.
Meanwhile, the fortune teller in Myriad Arms City was also shocked and horrified when he sensed the energy contained in the cursed beast.
Then, he chuckled bitterly. "This era is indeed full of surprises. Even the Master of Destiny is coming back. Should I say what's due will eventually come?" Back in the Curse Tribe, the Heavenly Curse Forefather gulped nervously as he looked at the ferocious cursed beast. "This isn't just cursed energy. This thing here contains a boundless amount of Destiny energy! It's overwhelming!"
Only then did the Curse Tribe know why their curse-breaking technique did not work. It was not the Heaven-earth Grand Curse they knew but an altered version of the Ultimate-level cultivation technique.
"Roar!"
The cursed beast roared and released a boundless energy that contained both the Destiny Dao and Curse Dao.
The indomitable energy killed many Curse Tribe cultivators.
They either died of Heavenly Deterioration, or their fates were crushed by the Destiny energy. There was no gory scene as they all disappeared on the face of the earth.
However, the Curse Tribe Leader sensed horror seeping into his spine, giving him the chills.
Then, the cursed beast looked at the Curse Tribe Leader.
They stared at each other. The cursed beast was ferocious and powerful, like a vortex devouring souls, while the Curse Tribe Leader was horrified.
"No!"
The Curse Tribe Leader's expression s.h.i.+fted. Unprecedented fear enveloped him whole.
He wanted to escape, but the curse energy that he suppressed earlier erupted all of a sudden, attacking his deteriorating body. He looked much weaker than before.
The cursed beast jumped on him.
"No! No!"
As fear consumed him, the Curse Tribe Leader channeled all kinds of curse techniques and Daoist law energy to attack the cursed beast. However, it did not slow the cursed beast down.
The cursed beast opened its ma.s.sive mouth and devoured him whole.
The energies of the Curse Dao and Destiny Dao intertwined in its body. The Destiny Dao, in particular, contained terrifying Daoist law energy, and it rapidly dissolved the Curse Tribe Leader's fate.
All life in existence had its own fate.
Even a Transcendentalist could be affected as he or she had only escaped the control of the universe's Dao.
Their fates remained in the River of Fate. The only difference was whether it was strong or weak.
The Destiny energy that the cursed beast possessed was from the Divine Destiny Temple that Chu Kuangren was in charge of, and it was directly from the Destiny's Authority. Therefore, it was certainly more powerful than the Curse Tribe Leader.
In just a few moments, the Curse Tribe Leader's fate was completely destroyed.
The Curse Tribe Leader no longer existed in the Infiniverse.
After consuming the Curse Tribe Leader, the cursed beast longed for more prey. Hence, it switched its attention to Xue Tianjun and the other Monarchs!! "How dare you, beast!" The Heavenly Curse Forefather was infuriated.
Even though he called the Monarchs useless, he knew each Monarch was a valuable a.s.set to the tribe.
He tried to stop the beast.
His Curse Daoist law energy erupted, and the Monarch Avatar manifested again. Unfortunately, it was no longer effective.
The Monarch Avartar was easily destroyed by the cursed beast the first time he summoned it, so the second time did not end well either. "Forefather, I'll aid you!" Xue Tianjun shouted.
"Leave! Take the survivors away!" the Heavenly Curse Forefather bellowed.
However, it was too late.
The cursed beast roared, unleas.h.i.+ng the Curse and Destiny energies in the form of a black mist. Almost half the survivors were caught by the black mist, killing countless cultivators in an instant.
"I'll kill you!"
One of the Monarchs roared furiously and decided to go all out with his attack. He released the limit on his curse energy and reversed the Curse Dao in his body, allowing him to receive an explosive boost as he jumped at the cursed beast.
The cursed beast simply opened its mouth and devoured him whole. "Bang!"
The Monarch continued to channel his Daoist law energy, trying to dissolve the cursed beast from the inside, but his efforts were futile.
He was dissolved inside the cursed beast in just a few moments.
The cursed beast wreaked havoc across the Curse Tribe.
It left a trail of death as it continued its rampage.
Just then, a black spear was hurled at the cursed beast and perforated its body easily. The spear contained a strong curse-breaking energy.
The cursed beast growled in pain as it started to lose its curse energy.
"That spear…"
The Heavenly Curse Forefather looked in the direction where the spear was hurled from.
A withered elderly got up from a coffin. With his hand raised, the spear flew back to his side.
"Earthen Curse Forefather!" The Heavenly Curse Forefather was delighted.
"Heavenly Curse Forefather, what is going on?"
The Earthen Curse Forefather looked at the destruction caused by the cursed beast. His sunken eyes looked frosty. "Skip the chatters. Let's work together to kill the cursed beast!"
"Alright."
The two strongest forefathers of the Curse Tribe, Heavenly Curse and Earthen Curse, teamed up against the cursed beast. After a fierce fight, they finally killed the cursed beast.
However, the two of them suffered serious injuries.
The entire tribe also suffered an unprecedented loss.
Including the Curse Tribe Leader, three Monarchs were killed, more than a hundred Great Dao and Primordial cultivators were dead, and countless more cultivators were annihilated. Other than that, the whole tribe was still affected by the lingering curse energy of the Heaven-Earth Grand Curse. Even the Curse Tribe's own people could not get close to it.
The losses were immeasurable, and no one knew how long it would take them to recover.
"W-Who! Who cursed the Curse Tribe?!" the Earthen Curse Forefather said in a trembling voice.
"It's Chu Kuangren!" Xue Tianjun said with clenched teeth.
He then told the forefathers about Chu Kuangren.
The two forefathers reacted grimly. Before they could catch a breath, the land trembled, and a boundless earthen qi erupted, further damaging the Curse Tribe.
A towering man came, leaving a trail of raging earthen qi behind him.
It was the Earthen Monarch. "Earthen Monarch? d.a.m.n it. Had those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds left?" Xue Tianjun was horrified.
The Monarchs of the Celestial Divine Tribe, Dragon Tribe, and the others promised that they would face the wrath of the Earthen Monarch together.
However, they were nowhere to be found now. He took a talisman out and contacted the Monarchs of different tribes.
"We agreed that if you kill Chu Kuangren, we will stand together and face the wrath of the Supreme Council with the Curse Tribe. However, it seems like you have failed," said a Monarch of the Celestial Divine Tribe.
