Chapter 2127 The Ninth Heavenly Lightning, The Purple Giant, The Sword Technique That Started It All
The purple heavenly lightning and Primordial energy clashed, sending shockwaves everywhere like a raging tide. Myriad Arms City trembled violently due to the impact.
Buildings toppled one after another.
The impact of the energy shockwaves was terrifying.
Everyone gulped with immense shock.
Meanwhile, amidst the endless dust and smoke, a figure hovered in the air.
It was none other than Chu Kuangren.
"He has successfully stopped the eighth heavenly lightning," someone exclaimed.
"But look… he's injured!" another person remarked.
Although Chu Kuangren was standing in the air, his body was damaged by the eighth heavenly lightning. He was bleeding everywhere, making it hard to tell whether it was blood or flesh on his body.
He looked as if he was about to die at any moment.
"Master, the heavenly lightning's energy is eroding your body. Although the Indestructible Physique has been activated, you'll need a long time to recover." Lil Ai's voice sounded.
Chu Kuangren nodded after hearing that.
He looked at his disheveled self and could not help but chuckle. "It's been a while since I've experienced the feeling of being pushed to the edge."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation's appearance was too sudden.
It took him by surprise, and he was completely unprepared. It was already a great feat that he managed to stop the eight heavenly lightning strikes and survive until this point.
However, for the last and final heavenly lightning…
The odds were stacked against him!
Even Chu Kuangren himself felt that way, let alone everyone else.
"The final heavenly lightning must be anything but ordinary. Judging by Chu Kuangren's condition, surviving it will be… hard."
"That's right. It's already an exceptional feat that he has come this far."
"However, I suppose this is the farthest he can go."
"The fact that he has triggered a Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation is an achievement he should be proud of."
In the Holy Radiant Church, the Radiant Goddess was watching Chu Kuangren prepare to face the final heavenly lightning. She looked worried.
"It's the final heavenly lightning. You have to survive no matter what!"
The Child of Light was the only hope of defeating the Doomsday Darkness.
She had always believed in that.
How could the Child of Light fall when the Doomsday Darkness had yet to appear?
Somewhere in space, the Tempest King's gaze was still locked onto Chu Kuangren.
"It's the final heavenly lightning. If the Honorable Teacher can't resist it, I must step in and save him," the Tempest King mumbled.
Somewhere in the void, the Formation King was looking at Chu Kuangren, who was about to face the final heavenly lightning. He had a troubled expression on his face. If Chu Kuangren could not resist it, the Tempest King's inheritance would be lost. However, if Chu Kuangren could survive it, with his level of talent, he would become a great threat to the Formation King in the future.
The thought of that troubled him.
Meanwhile, the Apocalypse Martial Ruler had nothing to worry about.
Chu Kuangren already had a huge grudge against the Apocalypse Martial Society.
He could not wait for Chu Kuangren to die.
Everyone all over the world was eager to see what would happen.
They were waiting for the final Primordial Tribulation lightning to strike to see the result.
Meanwhile, the final heavenly lightning was gradually brewing inside the Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation cloud. Compared to the previous bolts of heavenly lightning, the final one was unique and mysterious.
It was not just a bolt of lightning.
Thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts had gathered and turned into a purple giant, whose face was blurry.
Its poise was terrifying and majestic.
It was as if the giant was the supreme ruler who held dominion over everything and every single lifeform in the world. It gave anyone who saw it the instinctual feeling of submitting to it.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock when they saw the giant.
"What giant is this? Its aura is just too frightening."
"Why did the Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation evolve into this?"
"Is it a coincidence? Or perhaps this giant truly exists somewhere in the Infiniverse. Is it the one true ruler who's in charge of everything?"
"How can this be? This must be a coincidence."
Everyone was curious about the origins of that giant.
Even some of the Monarch-class elites were seeing the giant for the first time. For a moment, they thought they had uncovered a shocking secret!
However, no matter how they conducted divinations on it, there was no result.
That purple giant looked at Chu Kuangren. Its majestic yet icy-cold eyes seemed to reflect the whole Infiniverse within them.
From those two eyes, Chu Kuangren could sense… contempt, the type of contempt that regarded all beings as mere ants.
At that moment, rage suddenly filled Chu Kuangren. As his gaze turned cold, an ancient and profound aura began to emanate from his body.
The aura made the purple giant's gaze freeze.
It seemed surprised.
"Buzz!"
An incredibly powerful energy fluctuation erupted from the distance. The divine Hongmeng sword that had a jade-like surface was radiating with endless Immortal Sparks!
The Hongmeng Supreme Treasure's aura filled the surroundings!
"Descendant Self!"
Chu Kuangren let out a soft grunt.
The Descendant Self Sword trembled upon hearing its master's call. It turned into a stream of light and instantly flew into Chu Kuangren's grasp.
Chu Kuangren stroked the blade of the sword.
"You didn't disappoint me."
As of now, the Descendant Self's sword spirit had merged with the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.
It was now a whole new Descendant Self Sword!
"Alright, let's join forces today and take down this Primordial Tribulation!"
With the Descendant Self Sword in his hand, Chu Kuangren's sword aura continued to intensify.
He looked at the purple giant, his gaze colder than ever. Although he was covered in blood, he carried himself arrogantly!
The purple giant raised its hand, unleashing a blast of lightning from its fingertip.
Its endless lightning energy immediately turned into a purple sea of lightning!
That was the final strike of heavenly lightning!
In the fact of that attack, Chu Kuangren's expression was cold as he raised his Descendant Self Sword high. Now paired with the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure's might, his Primordial energy became much more powerful!
At that instant, it was as if time and space had stopped.
Even the vast sea of lightning also disappeared.
In the world now, only Chu Kuangren was present, and his thoughts began to wander.
Many scenes from the past resurfaced in his mind, appearing one after another.
Finally, he returned to the beginning, back to the time when he had just begun his cultivation journey, when he entered the Black Heaven Sect's library to study and learned all kinds of sword techniques.
Upon comprehending thousands of sword techniques, he created one technique of his own — the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!
That was the first sword technique that he had ever created.
Since then, he had created endless cultivation techniques, every single one of them more powerful and advanced than the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.
However, that technique suddenly crossed his mind.
It was a sword technique that started it all.
Myriads of sword techniques rapidly appeared in his mind. However, all of them led him back to that one technique. He may have comprehended myriads Daos, but all of their paths eventually led to the same destination.
He was finally enlightened.
When Chu Kuangren opened his eyes, a glint of brilliance flashed across them. "No matter how amazing your divine abilities are, no matter how immense your cultivation level is, I can cleave apart the heavens itself with just a single strike!"
He immediately slashed his Descendant Self Sword forward!
His Primordial energy emerged and multiplied into three thousand types of Dao!
However, the three thousand types of Dao changed once more, gathering and consolidating back into a single sword attack!
It was a powerful attack that could tear the heavens apart!
An immensely majestic sword ray as tall as the sky shot out with unstoppable momentum. It even carried the invincible poise that Chu Kuangren possessed in the beginning!
That single sword attack seemed to slash through time and space itself.
It was incredibly astonishing.
Even the group of Monarch-class cultivators was shocked by it.
When that sword attack landed on the endless sea of lightning, its energy wrecked havoc.
The sky full of lightning was torn apart by the sword ray!
Finally, the endless sea of lightning was sliced in half. Even the purple giant and the Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation cloud in the sky were destroyed!
With that, the Primordial Tribulation cloud dispersed.
The sky cleared, just like Chu Kuangren's heart — calm and as clear as a mirror!
