Chapter 1740
1740 Insulting the God Kings, the Great God Kings Speak Out, Keeping Each Other In Check
The God King’s rage was extremely terrifying!
Everyone felt like the surrounding planets were trembling, and the sky was on the brink of collapse.
Upon sensing the Sword God King’s aura, the Emperor Tribe’s God King narrowed his eyes. Then, he uttered coldly, “Sword God King, are you protecting the Heavenly Sword?”
“What’s the matter? The Heavenly Sword is a member of my Spiritual Sword Tribe, after all. You have a problem with that?”
!!
“Hmph, I hope you’ve thought through it carefully, Sword God King. There shall be grave consequences if the Spiritual Sword Tribe goes to war with the Emperor Tribe!” the Emperor Tribe’s God King threatened.
Other than him, another surge of God King Intent erupted from the Dao King Tribe. “The Heavenly Sword has killed my tribe’s Prodigy too. I can’t let this matter go so easily!”
The Mystic Divination Tribe also chimed in. “Listen here, Spiritual Sword Tribe. This Heavenly Sword of yours has gone overboard this time!”
“Zhuo Ming’s death must be avenged as well!”
The Evil Eye Tribe’s God King also spoke up after that.
Chu Kuangren had killed too many Prodigies. Moreover, each of them was a famous top-tier Prodigy in their own right.
Mo Wuji, Ji Feiyun, Zhuo Ming, Liu Chuanxing, and the others — which one among them was not in the top ten on the Heavenly God Leaderboard? They all were.
However, Chu Kuangren killed all of those Prodigies.
It was no surprise that the God Kings of their respective tribes could no longer sit still. Fortunately, none of them were currently at the Ancient Central Heaven Planet, or they would have already taken action on Chu Kuangren.
The God Kings’ consciousnesses converged in space.
Several chilling killing intents soon enveloped Chu Kuangren. It seemed he had angered quite a few King Tribes this time.
However, he hovered in the air calmly with an unbothered expression.
When the killing intents from the God Kings landed on him, he did not even budge at all. He was just too calm.
Many were stunned and speechless.
Putting everything else aside, only a few among the younger generation possessed such pluck and rocksteady Daoist core.
Who else could appear so calm and unbothered before the wrath of so many God Kings?
“End your life right now, Heavenly Sword. That might be the only way to save the Spiritual Sword Tribe!” said the God King from the Emperor Tribe.
He was threatening Chu Kuangren with the well-being of the whole Spiritual Sword Tribe. However, it proved ineffective.
“Kill myself? Are you an idiot?”
Chu Kuangren looked into the void and scanned his emotionless eyes across the endless space before he stared at the Emperor Tribe’s God King. “It was the Prodigies from your tribes who came to ambush the Heavens even though they weren’t strong enough. They were the ones who caused their own deaths. How is it the Heavens’ fault? It seems like living a longer life doesn’t necessarily equate to being wiser. You’ve really impressed Heavens with the God Kings’ ignorance!”
Chu Kuangren made no attempt to hide his true feelings, and the God Kings’ expressions darkened.
“This is too much, Heavenly Sword!”
“How dare a young cultivator speak to us with such arrogance? Are you really not going to take us seriously at all?!”
“It’ll only take a whip from my palm to kill you!”
“That’s right, puny Arch Gilded Immortal cultivator. How dare you talk back at a God King? Are you bored of staying alive?”
Surges of the God Kings’ Intents came one after another, but this time, their killing intents were even more terrifying!
Still, Chu Kuangren was not bothered by them. He merely stood with his arm crossed, with domineering qi and prideful sword intent swirling around him. “If you want to kill me, you can be the Heavens’ guest!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing what Chu Kuangren said, everyone was dumbfounded.
‘This is just too much!’
‘I can’t believe he, a mere Arch Gilded Immortal, has the nerve to provoke the God Kings. If they were to attack without mercy, how does Chu Kuangren expect to survive?!’
“The audacity!”
“Heavenly Sword, believe it or not, I can travel across galaxies right now and kill you!” the Emperor Tribe’s God King bellowed angrily.
“I dare you!”
Just then, a roar suddenly resounded throughout the universe, and a domineering intent instantly loomed upon the area.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
He knew that his backup had arrived!
“It’s the Conqueror Tribe’s God King!”
“It looks like they can’t stand aside and watch any longer as well.”
The other God Kings were not too surprised to see the Conqueror Tribe’s God King’s Intent.
The Conqueror Tribe’s God King continued to say, “What a bunch of disgraceful imbeciles you guys are, ganging up and bullying a young cultivator. If you guys truly meant what you said earlier, why don’t you attack the Conqueror Tribe instead? You guys sure look like you need some manners beaten into you!”
“That’s right. Although the Spiritual Sword Tribe isn’t an Ancient King Tribe, I won’t allow us to be bullied. Those who dare lay a finger on the Heavenly Sword will have to taste the tip of my blade!” The Sword God King also spoke up.
Besides him, the Galaxy God King also echoed his support.
With the addition of the Galaxy God King in their ranks, the Spiritual Sword Tribe was now mightier than before. Their words now bore more weight than before, so some of the King Tribes had become afraid of them.
Moreover, there was also the Conqueror Tribe, an even stronger tribe to deal with!
“The Feng clan has always been allies of the Spiritual Sword Tribe, and my tribe can no longer take it after seeing what the rest of you are up to.”
Another God King had spoken.
It was the Feng clan’s God King.
Chu Kuangren was quite surprised that he had gotten involved.
Although the Feng clan was an ally of the Spiritual Sword Tribe, it was a difficult thing for the Feng clan’s God King to speak out for him under such circumstances.
‘Did the Sword God King plan this?’
“Ha! Seeing that the Heavenly Sword is a friend of mine, can everyone show me some respect and let this matter today slide?”
At that time, a chuckle sounded, and a rather unfamiliar God King Intent suddenly appeared.
However, the Dao King Tribe’s God King was very familiar with that particular Intent. “It’s you, Shinra Pirate! Why are you interfering in this matter?”
That God King Intent belonged to none other than the Shinra Pirate, one of the Central Heaven Universe’s Thirty-Six Space Pirates!
That individual was also known as the Great Pirate King!
He had always been at odds with the Dao King Tribe and was a constant thorn in their side!
“As I said, the Heavenly Sword is my friend.”
Chu Kuangren secretly rolled his eyes when he heard that.
He had never met the Shinra Pirate before. Since when did they become friends?
However, he understood that there could be two possible reasons why the Shinra Pirate was helping him. The first was because the latter simply want to go against the Dao King Tribe, and the second was because Chu Kuangren once had dealings with his subordinate, Helou Liangyi. It could be because of that second reason and his feud with the Dao King Tribe that the Shinra Pirate wanted to try to recruit Chu Kuangren to his side.
‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all.’
Many were surprised to see the Shinra Pirate speak up, especially the Dao King Tribe God King, whose expression was grim right now.
“Shinra Pirate, how dare you oppose us?”
“You’re too full of yourself. What right do you have to represent all the God Kings here?” the Shinra Pirate said.
The Dao King Tribe’s God King was seething with rage by then. Frankly speaking, he could not represent everyone present at all.
“I’m going to make myself clear just this once. From this day onwards, the Heavenly Sword is an ally of the Conqueror Tribe. If anyone lays their finger on him, I’ll pay them a visit!”
The Conqueror Tribe’s God King spoke up once again.
As several God Kings, including the Shinra Pirate, had spoken up, the remaining God Kings fell silent.
It was not that they could not join forces to defeat the Conqueror Tribe and Spiritual Tribe, but it was mainly because too many factors were involved.
Putting aside the Conqueror Tribe, Spiritual Sword Tribe, and the Feng clan’s power, those King Tribes that were against Chu Kuangren could never join forces that easily.
The great King Tribes were always out for each other’s throats, and that was why they would never join forces so easily.
Besides, now that the Fully Realized Emperor Physique had appeared in the Emperor Tribe, the host would surely become stronger with time. If there was no one to stop the Fully Realized Emperor Physique in the future, what else could they do?
Killing Chu Kuangred meant that there would be no Fully Realized Overlord Physique host to counter Di Qianqiu when he became stronger, and Di Qianqiu would end up reigning supreme in the universe if that happened.
Out of all of that, the Emperor Tribe would be the one to benefit the most from it.
That was mainly why everyone else did not dare to burn their bridges immediately.
They still needed Chu Kuangren to keep Di Qianqiu in check.
Both sides must either be there to keep the other in check or cease to exist altogether. The balance in power must be kept that way.
