It had been a hundred thousand years since the battle between Chu Kuangren and the God Emperor.
Due to the intensity of that battle, the Infiniverse was affected terribly. Countless universal barriers started to break and showed signs of merging together. During the process, countless miracles and mystical phenomena happened.
A figure was shuttling across the Chaos in between universes.
The man was in black robes, and his gray hair was dancing with the wind. His handsome face looked rather cold, like a never-melting ice.
Those who experienced the Infinity War might know him as one of the stronger cultivators from the Pan Gu Kingdom — Armament Destruction.
Armament Destruction arrived in the middle of Chaos.
Before him was a ball of Chaos qi spanning across a million meters. The ball of Chaos qi seemed to be nurturing something as life pulsated from inside.
"It's the Chaos Celestial Demon," Armament Destruction muttered as he looked at the ball of Chaos.
The Infiniverse had started to merge into one after the battle between Chu Kuangren and the God Emperor broke all the universal barriers.
The process also produced many chaotic areas that somehow started to nurture life, or in other words, Chaos Celestial Demons.
Chaos Celestial Demons were the oldest lifeforms in the universe. A common Chaos Celestial Demon might not be threatening in the Great Hongmeng Universe, but the Chaos Celestial Demons produced by the Infiniverse's chaotic areas were different.
Unlike the ancient Chaos Celestial Demons, they were born from the Chaos created by the merging Infiniverse, so they were countless times stronger than the old ones.
"The merging of the Infiniverse has produced countless chaotic areas and nurtured countless Chaos Celestial Demons. Let's hope they won't cause any trouble," Armament Destruction murmured.
The Infiniverse needed more time to recover from the Infinity War.
If the new type of Chaos Celestial Demons went on a rampage during that recovery state, they would cause similar or even more damage than the Infinity War.
"Go!"
Armament Destruction performed a set of hand seals and sent a rune attached to the Chaos.
He left a mark in that area before heading to the next.
…
Back in the Pan Gu Kingdom, Armament Destruction, Shen Qixue, Devil King, and many others gathered to discuss a solution on how to deal with the Chaos Celestial Demons.
"The Chaos Celestial Demons are nurtured from the Infiniverse's Chaos. Each one of them possesses terrifying powers. Once born, the weakest would equal a Supreme Honorable or even a Monarch. It's going to be tough to deal with them," Heavenly Grandmaster said with concern.
"We have marked two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Chaos Celestial Demons nurtured by Chaos. As for whether there are more, it's still to be determined," Armament Destruction said.
He had traveled the Infiniverse to mark each and every one he found.
"Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine? There should be three thousand of them, with each representing a Great Dao. Where's the last one?" Li Jun asked.
"There might be one more left."
"Too bad the Ruler is traveling. Otherwise, we won't need to worry about the Chaos Celestial Demons at all," Shen Qixue said helplessly.
"If only the Human Ancestor and the other Primal Gods were here." The Devil King shook her head.
When Chu Kuangren used the Limitless All Time technique and summoned the Human Ancestors and other Primal Gods, they were able to exist in the universe for a certain amount of time.
However, since they had died many eras ago, it was unrealistic for them to stay here forever.
After the war, they all disappeared.
"So, no one knows where the Ruler is?" Shen Qixue asked the others, especially the Black Heaven Nine Stars who were under Chu Kuangren's direct command.
Everyone shook their heads.
"After he married Lan Yu, he brought her and Sister Linglong on a honeymoon. God knows which universe he is in right now," Chu Hong said helplessly.
lightsnοvεl "I envy them…" Hun Meier said as she sighed in disappointment.
She had fancied Chu Kuangren for many years but could never get his attention.
"Elder Ruyan, do you have any idea?"
Shen Qixue looked at Elder Ruyan.
Elder Ruyan was the last one who saw Chu Kuangren before he left. He brought her here from the Firmament Empire and even made her the kingdom's exclusive butler to take care of the official and unofficial affairs. She was the second most powerful person in the kingdom other than Chu Kuangren.
"Don't ask me. That man never changes. All he does is abuse me and oppress me. I'm not living an easy life here," Elder Ruyan grumbled.
It all started with the Black Heaven Sect and then the Firmament Empire. As the empire grew, she had to take care of the entire Pan Gu Universe.
Now, she was in charge of the Pan Gu Kingdom.
Chu Kuangren would never let her rest.
…
"Achoo!"
Chu Kuangren sneezed all of a sudden, which surprised him.
Even Lan Yu was surprised.
"Master, have you caught a cold?" "I think someone is talking behind my back," Chu Kuangren said with a smile. He then hugged Lan Yu and bit her ear, whispering, "How many times have I told you not to call me Master anymore?" Lan Yu's face blushed. "Master, someone else is here."
"Ahem…" In front of Chu Kuangren was a young girl in a glamorous black dress looking at him and Lan Yu flirting with each other. "Why are you flirting at my place?"
The young girl was one of the Black Heaven Nine Stars, Hua Wuai, the ruler of the underworld of the Pan Gu Universe.
Chu Kuangren was visiting her at the Three-lives River.
Further away, Gu Linglong was playing with some equinox flower spirits at the flower garden beside the river. She would laugh happily from time to time.
Chu Kuangren smiled at Hua Wuai. "How are you? How does it feel ruling the underworld now?"
"Same old. Life and death are still the same," Hua Wuai said.
She did not go to the Great Hongmeng Universe to further her cultivation and chose to stay in the Pan Gu Universe's underworld to rule over the dead and maintain the order of the nether realm.
Although she had freed herself from reincarnation, her cultivation level continued to rise.
Since she was one of the Black Heaven Nine Stars and part of the Pan Gu Kingdom, she was blessed by the fortune energy as well.
She was already a Monarch.
"Something is changing in the Infiniverse, and strange things are coming. Are you sure you don't want to go and have a look?" Hua Wuai asked.
"It's all up to the universe. I'll just sit back and observe for now." Chu Kuangren smiled.
She then brought Lan Yu and Gu Linglong away to head to their next destination.
Hua Wuai shook her head with a sigh as she saw them off. "He's a free bird now, but if he's not free, who else in this Infiniverse can be?"
…
Somewhere in the Chaos, a massive golden ball of Chaos qi was nurturing something powerful.
Surrounding it was God Emperor qi. That was right, the God Emperor qi.
The Chaos was actually in the chaotic universe, which served as the battlefield for Chu Kuangren and the God Emperor many years ago.
The place was labeled a forbidden land, and not even an Overlord could approach it easily.
It was also the reason why that ball of Chaos qi was not discovered.
Since the place contained a sliver of God Emperor qi and Chu Kuangren's sword qi, they were all absorbed by the ball of Chaos.
Now that the ball of Chaos qi had absorbed the God Emperor qi and Chu Kuangren's sword qi, the Chaos Celestial Demon it produced would be unimaginably powerful.
…
Inside Chaos was timeless.
Many years later, a ball of Chaos qi exploded out of the blue.
A creature that possessed a beast's body and a man's face with horns, having a staggering height of a hundred meters, came out from the Chaos.
His birth was followed by a boundless aura that, when it spread, shook the Chaos and the entire universe. "I am the Celestial Demon, Chaos Ox God!"
The Chaos Celestial Demon cackled as his aura shook the universe.
At the same time, in other Chaos-filled areas, Chaos Celestial Demons appear one after another.
All kinds of Chaos auras shook the Infiniverse.
As the Celestial Demons were born from the Chaos of the Infiniverse, they were extremely powerful and possessed a noble fate. Therefore, most of them were born with an attitude.It caused quite the commotion in the Infiniverse for quite some time.
Some powerful ones even wanted to rule the Infiniverse and the tribes as their new god.
"I was born a ruler! I shall rule this universe!"
One of the Chaos Celestial Demons rose into the sky and traversed across countless galaxies.
He was heading to the Great Hongmeng Universe.
"That is the origin of the Infiniverse. To conquer the Infiniverse, I must start with the Great Hongmeng Universe!"
This Chaos Celestial Demon had a dragon head, robust limbs, and a body covered with indestructible dragon scales.
He called himself Dragon River Celestial Demon and was exceptionally strong, even among his peers. He also had a great ambition to conquer the Great Hongmeng Universe.
Many elites across the Infiniverse noticed the Dragon River Celestial Demon, and some were deterred by his powers.
Some elites shook their heads and scoffed.
"Does he really think he's invincible? That's hilarious."
"What gave him the nerves to challenge the Great Hongmeng Universe?"
"Does he really think he's invincible? That's hilarious."
Since most of the universal barriers were gone, Dragon River Celestial Demon reached the Great Hongmeng Universe without any hindrance.
"So this is the Great Hongmeng Universe, huh? This universe's law and spiritual qi is far stronger than that of other universes," he said as he laughed.
However, his happiness was short-lived when a black-robed figure with gray hair appeared before him.
He stood before Dragon River Celestial Demon with a frosty look.
A boundless and invisible aura started to distort the void around him.
For some reason, the Dragon River Celestial Demon felt afraid.
"Chaos Celestial Demon, state your intention here," Armament Destruction asked.
"Hmph! I want to conquer the Great Hongmeng Universe and rule the Infiniverse!"
Dragon River Celestial Demon widened his dragon mouth and released a terrifying aura that could almost rival an Overlord. To think he was born with such absurd powers!
The Chaos Celestial Demons nurtured by the Infiniverse's Chaos were indeed gifted.
"I see. The Pan Gu Kingdom now rules the Great Hongmeng Universe, yet you claim you want to conquer this universe. Does it mean you want to overthrow the kingdom?" Armament Destruction asked.
"What if I do?" Dragon River Celestial Demon scoffed.
"In that case, I will have to destroy you."
Armament Destruction raised his hand.
Unparalleled blazing energy erupted, and countless Great Daoist laws combined into a burning hand in the sky.
"Bang!"
The sky collapsed as the hand crashed down. Dragon River Celestial Demon was shocked at how powerful Armament Destruction was. "How are you so powerful? H-How? Impossible!"
He channeled all his energy to counter with a punch, and Chaos qi gushed forward like a tidal wave.
However, his powers were nothing before Armament Destruction's palm strike. With a loud explosion, the Chaos qi exploded, and the palm struck him, blasting him away.
He created a massive crater when he crashed landed.
He lay in the center of the crater with a blank look on his face, questioning his life choices.
He thought he was invincible.
He was the Celestial Demon born from the Infiniverse's Chaos. He was gifted and had a noble fate, yet he was slammed to the ground with just one palm strike.
"How does the Great Hongmeng Universe have someone as strong as you? It's impossible!"
Dragon River Celestial Demon had a hard time believing the reality of things.
Armament Destruction simply looked at him indifferently. "You might be talented since the Infiniverse nurtured you, but you're still not an Overlord."
He had been an Overlord for many years and could rival the ancient Primal Gods now, so the Dragon River Celestial Demon was no match for him.
Armament Destruction raised his hand to release a much more powerful aura.lightsnovel
Dragon River Celestial Demon tried to resist, but with another palm strike landing on him, he was smashed to bits.
The elites who saw the scene were not surprised.
"He wants to conquer the Infiniverse with that power? What a joke."
"Not even the God Emperor could do it, let alone him."
Not only Dragon River Celestial Demon but the other Chaos Celestial Demons who tried to overthrow the Pan Gu Kingdom's rule were also suppressed and defeated by the Tempest King, Shen Qixue, and the others.
"Even without Chu Kuangren, the Pan Gu Kingdom's elites are enough to protect the kingdom."
"The Chaos Celestial Demons are nothing to them."
While everyone was in awe, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted further away in the Infiniverse.
It was so powerful that the Infiniverse shook, and the Great Hongmeng Universe, too, was affected.
People even sensed a familiar presence that was noble, supreme, and powerful.
It was the God Emperor qi!
"What?"
"Could the God Emperor still be alive? How is that possible?"
Shen Qixue, Devil King, and the others were shocked.
Inside Chaos, a ball of golden Chaos qi exploded.
A man in golden robes emerged. He had handsome looks and eyes that were as bright as stars.
There was golden energy swirling around him as he emerged.
Each move he made shook the galaxies.
"I am the Celestial Demon King!"
All the other Chaos Celestial Demons could sense the arrival of the Celestial Demon King.
They felt an instinctive fear from their bloodline.
Armament Destruction looked serious as well. "An unmarked Chaos Celestial Demon? Is he the last one of the three thousand? He even has the God Emperor qi. What is going on?"
All the elites looked in the same direction where the Celestial Demon King emerged.
They soon arrived at the forbidden land — the Chaos universe.
Many were surprised by what they saw.
"That Chaos Celestial Demon absorbed the remains of Chu Kuangren's sword qi and the God Emperor's qi. No wonder he exudes a familiar presence. This is going to be troublesome."
"He looks tough."
Shen Qixue traveled from the kingdom to the Chaos universe in just one step.
He thrust his spear at the Celestial Demon King, but the God Emperor qi blocked it.
Although his spear attack could easily overpower a common Overlord, he could not deliver an effective attack.
"How dare you offend the Celestial Demon King? You shall die!" the Celestial Demon King roared.
He pushed a palm forward, releasing God Emperor qi that blasted Shen Qixue away with blood gushing from his mouth.
One palm strike was all it took for him to build an invincible image for himself.
"He's strong!"
Shen Qixue was surprised.
"Pan Gu Kingdom?"
Following the thought, the Celestial Demon King released a boundless spiritual energy that blanketed the entire Infiniverse.He instantly understood the current situation and the force distribution.
He wore a contemptuous grin on his face.
"From today onwards, there will be no more Pan Gu Kingdom! The Celestial Demons will rule the Infiniverse!"
As the king, he wanted the Chaos Celestial Demons to take over the Infiniverse.
Many other Chaos Celestial Demons were excited.
"Chaos Celestial Demons shall rule the universe!"
"This is great! We are the Chaos Celestial Demon born from the Infiniverse's Chaos. We have noble fates and should be the ruler of the Infiniverse!"
The Chaos Celestial Demons clamored in response to the Celestial Demon King's declaration.
While they planned to follow their king to conquer the Infiniverse, a massive spatial rift appeared.
A golden spear with unrivaled God Emperor qi shot out from the spatial rift, and it went after the Celestial Demon King!
"What?"
The Celestial Demon King was slightly surprised.
The spear tore the void like paper and penetrated the God Emperor qi of the Celestial Demon King. It also penetrated his chest and pinned him down in the void.
A massive amount of golden blood burst from his chest, forming a flowing river in space.
The excited Chaos Celestial Demons were stunned.
They had no idea what was going on. The invincible Celestial Demon King was pinned in the void by a single spear?
Who did it?
Shen Qixue, Devil King, and the others were anxious when they saw the spear.
They had seen the spear before and knew who the owner was.
It was the God Emperor's spear!
Then, surges of golden God Emperor qi erupted from the spatial rift, and a golden figure emerged proudly.
With a raise of his hand, the stars trembled.
With a stomp of his foot, the land shook.
His eyes gleamed as brightly as the sun and moon.
He was the most superior, the strongest, and the noblest existence of them all, the God Emperor!
"What is going on? The God Emperor isn't dead?"
Shen Qixue and the others were baffled and shocked at the same time.
The Celestial Demon King, who was pinned in the void, was also surprised. He grunted as he pulled the spear out of his chest and hurled it back at the God Emperor.
The God Emperor caught it and swung the blood off. He looked at the Celestial Demon King and saw the God Emperor qi that he used.
"Poor God Emperor qi. You disgust me."
The Celestial Demon King roared furiously upon hearing the God Emperor.
His God Emperor qi rose sharply and gushed forward like a golden tidal wave.
However, the God Emperor was unfazed.
His God Emperor qi surrounded him instantly and formed a barrier.
When the golden tidal wave crashed on it, a loud bang echoed in the sky.
Still, the God Emperor remained standing after the tidal wave subsided. The Chaos Celestial Demons were shocked.
"That's the God Emperor! The invincible God Emperor!"
"How is he so strong?"
However, Shen Qixue and the others found themselves in a tricky situation.
Compared to the Celestial Demon King, they were more afraid of the God Emperor.
Other than Chu Kuangren, no one in the Infiniverse could rival him.
"Have a taste of the real God Emperor qi!"
The God Emperor then gathered the God Emperor qi on his palm for a palm strike.
The spiritual qi of the Infiniverse rumbled as if they were submitting to his presence.
"King's Heaven Calling!"
"Kabaam!"
The God Emperor qi shattered the Infiniverse's universal law.
It was so powerful that it left the Celestial Demon King mortified.
He tried to block it with everything he had but was still blasted away.
His body started to crack and bleed profusely, and his God Emperor qi dropped.
"God Emperor!" the Celestial Demon King roared furiously. He canceled his God Emperor qi and then released countless sword qi from all his limbs.
It was Chu Kuangren's sword qi!
"No matter how strong the God Emperor is, he lost to Chu Kuangren. Now, I shall kill you again with Chu Kuangren's sword qi!" the Celestial Demon King shouted.
Endless sword qi formed a massive sword shadow.
Everyone was shocked.
"The Celestial Demon King has absorbed the God Emperor and Chu Kuangren's powers. That's why he can use both of them! How scary!"
Everyone looked at the God Emperor, wondering how he would counter the attack.
The man simply scoffed and thrust his spear forward, releasing terrifying God Emperor qi that could crush everything!
Upon collision, the domineering sword qi was crushed.
The Celestial Demon King could not believe it.
"If this sword qi can kill the God Emperor, it should work against him. Why was it destroyed so easily?"
"You're just a cheap copy. You didn't even copy one percent of the sword qi's essence," the God Emperor said.
After that, he released a terrifying sword aura.
"I'll show you the true power of this slash."
The God Emperor qi disappeared, and a figure in white emerged from the Immortal Sparks.
It was Chu Kuangren!
Shen Qixue and the others were overwhelmed by joy.
"It's the Ruler!"
"It's not the God Emperor!"
Shen Qixue was struck with sudden realization. "The Ruler used Limitless Imitation to transform into the God Emperor! He gave me a scare! I thought the God Emperor came back to life!"
"Yeah, what a lousy joke!"
The cultivators of the Pan Gu Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign forward. Without having to pull out his Descendant Self Sword, the Sword Great Dao appeared together with the other Great Daos.
The slash he released contained the power of three thousand Great Daos. It was the Three Thousand Great Dao Slash technique!
When the slash struck the Celestial Demon King, his body disintegrated.
The sword qi then continued forward with indomitable force and spread across the Infiniverse, thus destroying the remaining universal barriers.
The slash hastened countless universes' merging process, and all universes merged into one big universe.
Witnessing the power of the slash that combined the Infiniverse instilled fear in the rest of the Chaos Celestial Demons and rid them of the idea of starting a riot.
"He's scary!"
"The Celestial Demon King didn't even last a slash!"
"He's the one and only man throughout history! He's too powerful!"
Chu Kuangren, who was happy with the effect of that slash, raised his voice and allowed his words to be heard across the Infiniverse. "From now on, the Infiniverse will be combined into one world, and this new world will be named Eternal World!"
