Chapter 2085
2085 Overpowering the Holy Knight, O’ Holy Radiance Protect Me, Bless Me With Thy Divine Might
“It’s the Darkness Ruler Amulet!” Yu Nie exclaimed after seeing Chu Kuangren taking out the Ruler Amulet.
Meanwhile, Hei Xuan laughed. “I can’t believe he can control the power within the Ruler Amulet. It looks like His Highness trusts this person a lot.”
Without the Demonic Ruler’s permission, no one would be allowed to use the power inside the Ruler Amulet. That was why he initially thought Chu Kuangren only possessed the Ruler Amulet.
However, he did not expect Chu Kuangren to be able to use the amulet’s power too.
In his opinion, the Dark Demonic Ruler must have permitted Chu Kuangren to do so.
The Demonic Ruler had truly regarded Chu Kuangren as one of his confidants.
At first, Hei Xuen held a little bit of a grudge about being a mount for Chu Kuangren. However, that grudge of his disappeared when he saw Chu Kuangren use the Ruler Amulet’s power.
‘Only the Dark Demonic Ruler can use the Ruler Amulet.’
‘However, Chu Kuangren can too.’
‘In other words, this means he’s an ambassador for the Demonic Ruler.’
‘If I let him ride on my head, wouldn’t this mean I’m letting the Demonic Ruler do so?’
He had to admit that it was a wonderful misunderstanding.
On the contrary, Holy Knight Laude’s expression was grim as he looked at Chu Kuangren wielding the power of the Darkness Ruler Amulet. “What relation do you have with the Dark Demonic Ruler?”
“That’s not important.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled, and his Darkness energy swept out into the surroundings. “What’s important is that you should be begging me for your life instead!”
Then, he raised his hand and closed his fist in the void.
A black spear suddenly manifested in his hand.
“Whoosh!”
As the long spear shoot across the sky, it almost tore the void apart with its power.
“Hmph!” Holy Knight Laude snorted coldly as he thrust his spear forward.
His Radiant energy surged.
However, he suddenly realized that the Darkness Ruler Amulet was suppressing his Radiant Dao. Hence, he could not unleash his full strength.
His expression changed.
Following that, his figure moved in a flash, dodging out of the way.
Alas, the pegasus he was riding was not so fortunate as the razor-sharp energy from the spear tore it into half.
Blood splattered everywhere.
When Holy Knight Laude saw what happened, his expression darkened. “B*stard!”
He dashed toward Chu Kuangren at lightning speed and waved his spear to unleash his Radiant energy.
“Although the Ruler Amulet can suppress the Radiant Dao, I have experienced countless battles as a Holy Knight. When it comes to combat experience, I am hundreds of times more experienced than you. You are no match for me!”
With that, he waved his spear.
Every attack he made was profound and filled with immense power.
However, Chu Kuangren merely chuckled.
His figure became elusive and ethereal.
He easily dodged all of Laude’s attacks. On top of that, he also attacked with his sword from time to time, usually at the blind and weak spots between Laude’s attacks. It made Laude so tired that Chu Kuangren eventually overpowered him!
“Comparing combat experience, huh? I might be less experienced than you, but when it comes to combat itself, you’re far from being on my level!” Chu Kuangren struck Laude’s chest with his sword.
His domineering sword qi erupted and immediately sent his opponent flying. The Great Dao inside his opponent’s body started roaring due to the impact.
Chu Kuangren looked at him mischievously.
Sure enough, the Holy Knights were cultivators well-versed in combat. When it came to combat experience, no one in the same cultivation realm could be compared to them.
However, Chu Kuangren was different. With Lil Ai’s help, he did not need any combat experience. With Lil Ai helping him analyze the best attack pattern and his enemy’s weak spots, he could easily anticipate his enemy’s moves!
He could even act before an attack was thrown at him!
“Great Judgment of Light!”
Holy Knight Laude let out a low grunt, and rays of dazzling light burst out from his long spear, followed by an extremely powerful Radiant Dao.
Although he was suppressed by the Ruler Amulet, the power he could unleash should not be underestimated.
The gigantic ball of light was launched across the sky.
Its power was so domineering that even the Radiant Left Sky King’s apparition could not compare to it. After all, it was an attack unleashed by a true Great Dao-realm cultivator.
The Judgement of Light’s rays illuminated the surroundings.
Chu Kuangren held his Descendant Self Sword tightly, with countless Daoist laws swirling around him.
The power of three thousand Daoist laws merged with the Darkness Ruler Amulet’s darkness energy and formed a black torrent of energy.
“Boom!”
The two energies collided.
The heavens and earth trembled as energy shockwaves swept across the terrain within several hundred thousand kilometers, destroying mountains, rivers, forests, and more.
Besides the Tempest Palace, everything within a five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius on the ground was leveled.
More importantly, it happened in the Great Hongmeng Universe.
If it happened in other universes, the power of that clash would be enough to destroy dozens of galaxies.
The impact of such powerful energy shockwaves killed many of the onlooking cultivators.
Everyone knew that such battles were not something ordinary cultivators could afford to watch, so most of them quickly moved back, for fear of being caught up by the energy shockwaves.
“This battle between those two is just too terrifying.”
“This is undoubtedly a Grand Dao-level battle. It’s terrifying.”
Everyone gasped with horror.
However, some looked at Chu Kuangren with a serious gaze.
When it came to cultivation realms, an Embodier was several levels lower than a Grand Dao-realm cultivator.
Yet, one was now engaged in an intense battle with a Grand Dao-realm cultivator.
Chu Kuangren even showed signs of overpowering his opponent. Such a display of power was simply unimaginable.
They had never seen such an extraordinary Embodier cultivator before.
“This person is certainly an Outlier among Outliers.”
“That’s right. If nothing goes wrong, he will certainly become one of the most outstanding cultivators in this era.”
“That’s right. He can even have a chance to be crowned king!”
“How exciting.”
“However, he must first survive!”
The battle continued.
Under the Darkness Ruler Amulet’s suppression, Holy Knight Laude’s combat power decreased drastically. Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, was getting more powerful the more he fought.
In fact, he was getting more proficient in the use of the Darkness Ruler Amulet and the powers of the three thousand Daoist laws.
‘If this goes on, I… Will I die?’ Holy Knight Laude thought.
Then, he took a deep breath.
He let out a long howl, and an incredibly powerful Radiant aura erupted from his body. That aura seemed to have attracted the presence of a certain existence somewhere.
An apparition gradually appeared behind him.
“O’ Holy Radiance protect me, bless me with thy divine might!” Holy Knight Laude said with unparalleled devotion.
In an instant, a mysterious force was bestowed upon him.
“Master, he’s using the Power of Faith to channel a certain existence’s power. I suspect it to be the Radiant Goddess of the church.”
Lil Ai analyzed it and immediately came to a conclusion.
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren nodded gently.
He could vaguely make out the silhouette of a goddess behind the Holy Knight Laude, shrouded in infinite brilliance, looking sacred and untouchable.
“Now, behold the power of the goddess, heretic!” Holy Knight Laude yelled.
Besides possessing strength, one must possess great faith in the Radiant Goddess to become a Holy Knight. With that level of faith, the Holy Knights could, to a certain extent, receive the protections of the Radiant Goddess and be blessed with her divine power.
That was one of the reasons why the Holy Knights had high status in the Radiant Church.
“In that case, let’s end this,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
While the Darkness energy around him surged violently, the power of three thousand Daoist laws swirled around him.
The energy of a Universal Dao also erupted from his body.
Strengthened by several energies, Chu Kuangren was now incredibly powerful. When he raised his hand, the space trembled violently.
