Things took a sudden turn at the Holy Radiant Church. A vast amount of Darkness aura swept across the place.
From within the extreme darkness came a familiar presence that Ming Fei recognized. A figure emerged from the darkness, wearing glamorous black robes and looking handsome with his bewitching presence.
Ming Fei's expression turned grim.
"Dark Demonic Ruler!"
It was the Dark Demonic Ruler himself, the biggest heretic recorded in the church's history!
"Oh, isn't this the little kitty by my sister's side? Look how much you've grown. How surprising." The Dark Demonic Ruler chuckled when he saw Ming Fei.
"It's you! You planned all this!"
"Yes and no," he said.
Then, with his hand raised, he shot a beam of black light at Ming Fei. It was so powerful that it punctured the void.
Ming Fei's eyes widened. She channeled her energy to the limit and countered it with a slash with her great sword.
When the blinding sword ray clashed with the demonic beam, a ma.s.sive explosion erupted.
Ming Fei was blasted backward by the explosion, her face pale.
She may have manifested the Daoist law energy, but she was still not a Monarch.
Further away, the Radiant Left Sky King watched with utmost admiration. "This is the power of a Monarch! If I kill the Radiant G.o.ddess and get her Monarch's Heart, I'll be able to obtain such power as well!"
The Dark Demonic Ruler overheard him and sneered with disdain.
"You traitor. How dare you call yourself King?"
A gloomy energy erupted and was blasted at the Radiant Left Sky King.
Bloosh gushed from his mouth immediately.
However, the Dark Demonic Ruler did not kill the Radiant Left Sky King since they practically worked together before.
"d.a.m.n it!"
The Radiant Left Sky King was blasted to the ground, looking horrified and angry. His wretched state and b.l.o.o.d.y appearance made him look like a clown. The prestigious demeanor of a king was gone.
"I remember you. You're Ming Fei, right?" the Dark Demonic Ruler said. "I admire you. Serve me, and I will grant you power you can never imagine."
Instead of answering, Ming Fei wielded the Radiant sword and stood straight like a pole in front of the church.
"I will fight for the G.o.ddess and the G.o.ddess only," Ming Fei announced.
"Very well. I shall grant you your wish."
The Dark Demonic Ruler chuckled and then pointed his finger at her.
Domineering Darkness Daoist law energy erupted.
However, a beam of Radiant Daoist law energy was fired at him from inside the church.
The clash between the Radiant and Darkness energies caused the realm to flicker between day and night before an explosion erupted. The blast sent Ming Fei flying away, but she fell into a warm embrace. She looked up and saw a beautiful face looking at her.
It was the Radiant G.o.ddess.
"Are you okay, Ming Fei?"
The Radiant G.o.ddess looked worriedly at Ming Fei.
Ming Fei shook her head and got up immediately. She said, "G.o.ddess, how's your injury?"
The Radiant Left Sky King had ambushed the G.o.ddess during her cultivation with a strange Supreme Treasure to make sure the damage inflicted was severe.
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
The Radiant G.o.ddess shook her head.
However, Ming Fei noticed an unusual blush on her face, and the G.o.ddess' Great Dao seemed to be suppressing something.
She was not as fine as she claimed to be. "My dear big sister, it's been a while since we saw each other." The Dark Demonic Ruler smiled at the Radiant G.o.ddess.
The Radiant G.o.ddess looked at him coldly. "Demonic Ruler, I didn't expect you to recover so fast. Have you forgotten how I punished you before?"
"Oh, no. Of course, not. That's why I came prepared this time."
"My foolish brother, do you really think these kinds of tricks can defeat me?" The Radiant G.o.ddess scoffed.
She was strict and kind before her people — the embodiment of Light. However, she was unusually harsh and vicious against the Dark Demonic Ruler.
A few words, plus a scornful tone and a disdainful smile, infuriated the Dark Demonic Ruler. "Hmph. I know you've always looked down on me, but one day, I will make you understand that I was right."
"Just because you always run away from me?"
"You…"
The Dark Demonic Ruler's expression turned bitter. "Since when will you understand that suppressing the Doomsday Darkness won't solve the problem? We must understand it, control it, and then solve the problem from there."
"Understand it? Control it? Is that the reason why you betrayed the Radiant Tribe?"
"You never understood me. When I was in the Radiant Tribe–"
"What happened when you were in the Radiant Tribe? Did I lock you up and strip you of your freedom or hit and scold you?"
"You didn't let me–"
"I didn't let you study the Doomsday Darkness because it's forbidden! You broke the rules of the Radiant Tribe! If I didn't protect you, you would've died!"
"Hmph. Those foolish–"
"Even though they were foolish, they knew what to stay away from, unlike you. You were too confident in your talents, and it drove you to approach the Doomsday Darkness."
The Dark Demonic Ruler and the Radiant G.o.ddess were arguing, but unfortunately, the Dark Demonic Ruler was silenced every time.
He could not even speak a full sentence before he was interrupted.
The others were stunned.
It really looked like siblings bickering with each other.
Were they really arch nemesis? Ming Fei, however, was not surprised. Back in the day, the Dark Demonic Ruler and the Radiant G.o.ddess would argue whenever they met. It was also the reason why their relations.h.i.+p exacerbated over the years. To put it bluntly, they both had different ideals.
"Can you let me finish?" the Dark Demonic Ruler shouted.
The Radiant G.o.ddess chuckled. "What are you trying to say? It's so lame that I've grown bored of it."
"If that's the case, there's nothing left for me to say."
The Dark Demonic Ruler's expression turned grim, and he attacked using the strongest Darkness Daoist law energy.
"Let me see how much you've grown over the years."
The Radiant G.o.ddess raised her scepter, and the Radiant Daoist law energy formed a torrential river of light to counter the Darkness energy.
Light and Darkness clashed, forming a black-and-white tornado that shook the entire church.
"Stay back!"
Ming Fei told the weaker clergies to retreat.
"Great Judgment of Light!"
"Darkness Hand!"
"Radiant Divine Arrow!"
"Darkness Slas.h.!.+"
All kinds of powerful techniques were cast, and neither of them held back.
It was only then that the others believed they were arch-nemesis.
Each of their attacks was aimed directly at each other's weak spots. Not all were qualified to see the quarrel between the brother and sister. The battle between Monarchs required a certain level of power to watch.
Even Ming Fei, a Supreme Honorable, could not find the window to intervene. She got anxious as she watched.
Suddenly, she noticed something when she scanned over the field.
"Where's the Radiant Left Sky King?"
