“In that case, I shall accept your invitation!”
With that, the two strongest swordsmen in the current era teamed up.
Infinity Domain was activated, and the endless sword qi swept across the field, reaching every corner of the area.
The Monarchs who came bearing the thought of taking advantage of the situation were stunned.
They did not expect Chu Kuangren to team up with the Sword Saint.
They thought they would help the Sword Saint kill Chu Kuangren and seize a portion of his massive fortune energy. After all, Chu Kuangren had a ridiculous amount of fortune energy. Even just a sliver of it would be a harvest for them.
The other option would be hurting both Chu Kuangren and the Sword Saint in the battle, and the other Monarchs would jump in to clean the battlefield.
The second option would be the most ideal.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the two targets teamed up.
Why?
Chu Kuangren had a grudge against the Divine Sword Palace, so how could he team up with the Sword Saint?
Yet, something the Monarchs had never even thought of happened.
They even suspected that Chu Kuangre and the Sword Saint had reached some kind of agreement, hence putting up a show to lure all the Monarchs out.
“Damn it!” a Monarch cursed.
He tried to escape using his secret technique.
However, even a Monarch would choose to escape from the two strongest swordsmen, and unfortunately, he could not escape.
A figure in white appeared before him. It was Chu Kuangren.
He looked at the Monarch with a grin and said, “Since you’ve come all the way here, why leave so early? Why don’t I give you a little lift?”
He swung his sword forward, and his sword intent shone dazzlingly, blinding the Monarch for a moment.
Immediately after, the sword qi filled his vision, and he felt as though the sword qi was the only thing left in the realm.
“Bang!”
The Monarch exploded on the spot.
One slash was all it took to kill one Monarch.
The Sword Saint, too, locked on to another Monarch and attacked with his boundless sword qi.
He did not break a sweat in killing his target.
“Not bad,” Chu Kuangren said before going to the next target and continuing his killing spree.
“Hurry! We must work together to leave this domain!”
“We’re no match for them!”
“Damn it…”
All the Monarchs tried to escape by attacking the Infinity Domain with all kinds of Daoist law energy.
A Spatial Monarch, in particular, detonated a space-type Hongmeng Supreme Treasure and tore a hole in the Infinity Domain.
Seeing that, the Monarchs quickly fled through the hole.
Chu Kuangren and the Sword Saint went after them.
In the end, Chu Kuangren and the Sword Saint killed a few more Monarchs before they stopped.
As the only ones left standing in the sky across a billion kilometers, the two of them then exchanged a quick glance.
With his hands behind his back, Chu Kuangren said, “If you want to fight again, I’ll go along with you. But this time, I’ll definitely end you.”
The Sword Saint shot him a pensive gaze and grunted. “If you and I go all out, even if I kill you, I won’t gain any benefit from it either. Besides, all the Monarchs are onto us. Once either of us is defeated, they will come after you or me. For the sake of the human race, I will not fight you for now.”
“Even if you kill me? You have quite the confidence. As for the other Monarchs, if they want to kill me, they can come at me. Even if they all come at me together, I, Chu Kuangren, am not afraid!” Chu Kuangren said with a smirk.
“I hope you can stay arrogant forever.”
After that, the Sword Saint left.
Once he was more than a billion kilometers away, he started to recall the little match he had with Chu Kuangren.
He muttered, “I killed five Monarchs just now, and he killed eight. His sword is faster and sharper than mine.”
It was the reason why he did not continue the fight. It was because he did not have the confidence to beat Chu Kuangren.
If he were defeated and lost his fortune energy, it would impact the Divine Sword Palace even more.
“Too bad I didn’t get a chance to witness his Sword Twenty-five or Sword Twenty-six,” the Sword Saint said while shaking his head regretfully.
Would he be able to take the Sword Twenty-six?
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren yawned after the Sword Saint left. “Interesting. The Divine Sword Palace has such an interesting Monarch.”
The Sword Saint was extremely powerful.
In terms of swordsmanship, he almost rivaled Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren also believed that the Sword Saint had created his own version of Sword Twenty-five.
Unfortunately, Chu Kuangren was not just a swordsman.
If they really went all out against each other, Chu Kuangren had absolute confidence in beating him.
“I wonder how Lan Yu and the others are doing,” he muttered as he stared into the distant horizon.
The Fortune Earth World was huge — seemingly endless. Chu Kuangren had been exploring for a while, but he had yet to run into one of his own.
He looked up at the leaderboard in the sky.
Lan Yu, Mingyue Wuxia, and the others were still on the leaderboard, which meant they were fine.
“Let’s continue the exploration. I’ll surely meet them one day.”
Almost an infinite number of cultivators entered the Fortune Earth World.
The names on the leaderboard were over a trillion.
The weak and the strong were all here.
After all, dying in the Fortune Earth World did not mean actual death. One would only lose their fortune energy, so many used this chance to train themselves.
Somewhere in the Fortune Earth World, a blast of Radiant light shone.
A silvery figure emerged from the light. The winged-woman was in silver armor that made her look valiant.
It was Lan Yu, and right now, she was surrounded by Radiant Daoist law energy.
With a raise of her hand, torrential streams of light shot out.
The cultivators who had her surrounded were blasted away.
“She’s so strong!”
“Another Radiant Monarch has appeared!”
“She ascended during a battle? The cultivators of the Pan Gu Sect are indeed monsters!”
“Yeah!”
Everyone looked at Lan Yu in fear.
They originally had Lan Yu surrounded and were one step away from defeating her.
However, to their surprise, she broke through to the Monarch Realm mid-battle!
How absurd!
Turning the tables around with her ascension, Lan Yu broke free from the tight situation and easily killed all the attackers.
Her powers did not feel like a Monarch who had just ascended.
“I’ve been a Pseudo-Monarch for quite some time now, and the deep insights I have into the Radiant Daoist law prepared me to ascent to the Monarch Realm, despite breaking through mid-battle. My powers are far stronger than common First Step Monarchs,” Lan Yu thought to herself.
After killing her attackers, Lan Yu looked at the Fortune Leaderboard.
Chu Kuangren’s name was still on top, which was not surprising. “Master, I’m not a Monarch anymore.”
Then, she put her happiness away.
It was not enough.
Master said there would be a war coming, and Monarchs were merely cannon fodders who lived longer.
As such, being a Monarch was far from enough. She had to become stronger.
“The first step in reaching high is to help Master gather fortune energy.”
Lan Yu locked on to a bunch of cultivators further away.
She wielded her scepter and released a torrential stream of Radiant energy.
“Bang!”
The cultivators were all blasted out of the Fortune Earth World..
