Chapter 1896
1896 A Surprising Turn of Events, Creation God, Do You Dare to Challenge the Heavens?
“It’s fake. It’s all fake…”
“Impossible. This is impossible.”
Mo Tianheng looked at his hands with a face full of disbelief.
After spending so much time and effort to obtain the God King’s power, it all turned out to be an illusion in the end. That wonderful power never belonged to him in the first place.
That news alone was enough to put him on the brink of madness.
“So that was why I thought there was something strange about this. The auras of these Nine Kings were clearly of the God King level, but the four of them joining forces was not even a match for the Heavenly Sword’s attack. It turns out that their God King power is fake.”
“Tsk tsk, what a pity.”
“To give a taste of how wonderful the God King’s power was and then forcefully take it away from them… How sad.”
“This is not necessarily the case. Giving them a taste of a God King’s power beforehand might be a good motivation for them to work harder in their cultivation. Besides, they’re part of the Nine Kings. It’s only a matter of time before they become God Kings in the future.”
Everyone was talking about that.
Some looked at the Nine Kings with pitiful expressions while some gloated at their misfortune. Some even looked at them with admiration.
After all, they had been God Kings, even though momentarily.
It was unlike the others, who would never have a chance to become a God King in their lives.
“Tian Yuan Creation God, since you only want to revive yourself, everything about the Primordial Esoterica is a fake as well. Am I right?”
God King Molin’s expression was a little grim. After all, would that not mean that the Dao King Tribe’s efforts had been for the Tian Yuan Creation God’s sake instead?
“That’s not completely true. If one can refine that Tian Yuan Heart of mine that was sealed away, they shall receive my cultivation experiences. This includes my experience of ascending to the Primordial Realm too.”
Upon hearing that, everyone looked at the Tian Yuan Heart in Chu Kuangren’s hand, and their eyes burned with desire again.
However, none of them dared to take any action right away.
How would they know whether the Tian Yuan Creator God was toying with them again?
Despite that, Mo Tianheng could not care less about anything anymore. Having been dealt such a huge blow to his confidence, he immediately channeled his God King power and charged toward Chu Kuangren.
“Heavenly Sword, hand over the Tian Yuan Heart now!” Mo Tianheng shouted.
His Daoist laws surged as he unleashed a powerful attack!
Vast surges of Daoist laws emerged as a sea of clouds.
However, Chu Kuangren did not even bother to face that attack. He casually unleashed an attack, tearing that sea of clouds in half.
As for Mo Tianheng, he was locked onto by the sword qi right away. Unable to escape, he was instantly reduced into a mist of blood.
With only a single slash, Mo Tianheng was dead.
A mysterious rune brimming with dazzling light remained, hovering in mid-air.
It was the King’s Mark.
Chu Kuangren reached his hand out and grabbed it.
Upon seeing that, Tian Yuan Creation God’s eyes narrowed. “Surely you’re not thinking about refining this mark and becoming one of the Nine Kings, right?”
“What’s the matter? Afraid that the Heavens will become one of the Nine Kings?” Chu Kuangren let out a mischievous grin.
“What a joke. In the past, I was the most supreme being in this universe who fought against the Great Dao itself. Your existence is but a result of me creating this universe. Do you think I’d be afraid of the Nine Kings?” the Tian Yuan Creation God said with much disdain in his tone.
“No, you’re afraid that the Heavens will become one of the Nine Kings because you need the Heavens’ physical body. After all, the Heavens’ body is a crucial part of your grand plan of resurrection. Am I wrong about that?”
Chu Kuangren looked straight ahead at the Tian Yuan Creation God. His gaze was as sharp as a knife.
“It looks like I’ve truly underestimated you.”
The Tian Yuan Creation God said seriously. “That’s right, I’ve chosen you as my vessel. Your talents, abilities, and skill are the most outstanding among everyone else. It’s the most powerful vessel worthy of my resurrection! The Nine Kings are only a tool for me to achieve this. At the end of the day, you’re the most important person for my plan to succeed!”
He had witnessed Chu Kuangren’s performance ever since the latter entered the Central Heaven Heart Realm. Although he was sealed, he could still observe things from the inside.
Even a Creation God like him could not help but be impressed by Chu Kuangren’s capabilities.
To resurrect, he needed a physical vessel to resurrect.
Chu Kuangren was his most prized target for that. As for the Nine Kings, to put it nicely, they were individuals favored by the Great Dao; to put it harshly, those individuals were mere animals with a leash placed by the Great Dao around their necks.
For someone who once fought against the Great Dao before, the Tian Yuan Creation God would be putting himself on the chopping block before the Great Dao if he were to resurrect in one of the bodies of the Nine Kings.
That was something that he would never do.
“Ever since the Heavens came across this Tian Yuan Heart, this item has been clinging to me tightly, and I can’t shake it off. I suppose this item is key for you to take possession of my body, right?” Chu Kuangren said lightly with a calm expression.
His calmness was simply shocking.
He was facing off against the Creation God, after all!
Even if a Supreme God King… No, even Primordials would have to tread carefully before such a being.
‘How is he still so level-headed and calm?’
‘Is this guy truly not afraid of anything?’
“Even someone like the Heavenly Sword will be powerless before the Creation God’s power. It looks like the Heavenly Sword is at the end of his ropes.”
“That’s right. The Creation God is descending upon us now.”
Although the Heavenly Sword appeared extremely calm, everyone still felt that his chances of winning were slim and non-existent.
After all, his opponent was the Tian Yuan Creation God of the Central Heaven Universe.
“No, the Heavenly Sword is done for good.”
At that time, God King Molin said, “The Creation God doesn’t wish to possess one of the Nine Kings because that means he would only be controlled by the Great Dao. Hence, as long as the Heavenly Sword refines the King’s Mark, the Creation God will not want to possess him.”
“This makes sense. It’s the only thing the Heavenly Sword can do.”
“Becoming one of the Nine Kings is something everyone in this universe dreams of, and the Heavenly Sword will most likely accept it. Besides, it can also allow him to escape from this terrifying predicament. It’s a fate better than being possessed, I suppose.”
Just when the crowd thought that was what Chu Kuangren would do, he ended up doing something unexpected that caused their jaws to drop with astonishment.
He tossed the King’s Mark away to the Heaven Maiden You, who was walking toward him. “Take this as a gift from the Heavens.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They could not believe their eyes.
“Has the Heavenly Sword gone mad? Did he just toss away the only thing that can save him?”
“Did this guy just toss away the King’s Mark like it’s some sort of worthless item?”
“By the heavens, what is he thinking?”
None of them understood why Chu Kuangren did that.
Everyone’s actions could be traced by their intentions or a certain reason.
However, none of them could fathom the intention behind Chu Kuangren’s actions. They were simply baffled.
“Now that the King’s Mark is not with the Heavens, Creation God, do you dare challenge the Heavens?” Chu Kuangren asked indifferently with both hands behind his back.
He was challenging the Creation God directly now.
Even the Tian Yuan Creation God was shocked by Chu Kuangren’s actions. He looked Chu Kuangren straight in the eyes. ‘Does he still have something up his sleeve?’
‘No, what am I thinking?’
‘To think that a mighty Creation God like me is frightened by a mere God King?’
‘So what? This is nothing to me.’
‘Could it be that when I was sealed away by the Great Dao, even my courage was worn away?’
The Tian Yuan Creation God narrowed his gaze. “How splendid, Heavenly Sword. Ever since creating the universe, you are a second opponent who’s worthy of my respect, even if you’re still a mere puny God King!”
“Impressive. You’re willing to fight against me and not become a slave to the Great Dao. Tell me your true name, Heavenly Sword!”
For the first time since creating the universe, Tian Yuan Creation God’s attention was on something other than the Great Dao.
The Heavenly Sword was deemed worthy by him as an opponent.
“All shall be known when you defeat the Heavens in battle!”
“Hmph. It looks like you’re quite confident in yourself. However, before the likes of the Creation God, even the Heavens and earth will have to submit!” The Tian Yuan Creation God snorted coldly.
Following that, the Tian Yuan Heart in Chu Kuangren’s hand slowly turned into countless sparks of starlight.
Those dreamy-looking sparks of starlight eventually entered Chu Kuangren’s body, and Tian Yuan Creation God’s stalwart apparition also dispersed into countless sparks of light that entered Chu Kuangren’s body.
The battle between the Heavens and the Creation God had begun.
