2024 Investigating the Dark Demonic Forgotten Lands Again, Have Mercy Temple Lord, the Dark Demonic Ruler

Chu Kuangren was now in closed-door meditation, attempting to break through the Chaos Real for his Soul Realm.

There was originally a thin barrier between his current soul level and the Chaos Realm. However, he had absorbed the souls of many Central Heaven Universe cultivators with his Abyss of Darkness.

With his newly absorbed soul energy, he finally moved past that barrier.

His soul had finally reached the Chaos realm.

Being in the Chaos realm meant his soul no longer possessed a fixed form. It was ethereal and mysterious, like chaos itself before the birth of the universe.

While getting used to his newfound soul cultivation realm, he subconsciously comprehended a new type of Dao in the process… Soul Dao!

When ordinary cultivators reach the soul Chaos realm, they would not trigger the activation of Soul Dao. Things were different for Chu Kuangren, however. After all, his proficiency in soul cultivation was extremely high and was unparalleled in the two universes.

After his soul reached the Chaos realm, he spent more time integrating the Soul Dao into his body.

The whole process was smooth and unfolded effortlessly for him.

Besides that, his soul energy also increased tremendously. That allowed him to comprehend Dao more efficiently, besides having an increase in power for his Divination Techniques.

This effect was most obvious when using the Great Destiny Technique.

This cultivation technique was extremely mysterious.

After reaching a certain level of cultivation, the user could enter the river of destiny.

Before that, he only possessed the Divine Destiny Light Beam — the technique he used to kill Six Eyes, a God King.

Now that his soul cultivation realm had increased, Chu Kuangren had gained a greater proficiency in the Great Destiny Technique.

Besides the Divine Destiny Light Beam, he had also unlocked another technique.

It was a technique known as the Gate of Destiny. This technique was extraordinary and more powerful than expected. However, it still required some time for him to control it completely.

“Perhaps this will be another trump card of mine in the future,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

Following that, he entered the Divine Destiny Temple and spent almost a decade inside there to learn this Gate of Destiny technique. Chu Kuangren could already unleash it in battle now.

On that very day, in the Void Battlefield, Chu Kuangren walked out of the Imperial Palace in his usual prideful manner.

From the void, several astral diagrams appeared.

Lan Yu and the others appeared before him.

“Master, you’ve finally completed your closed-door meditation,” Lan Yu said with delight.

“Your aura has risen to another level, it seems.”

Yu Zhi looked at Chu Kuangren and chuckled.

“Well, it’s not even on another level yet.” Chu Kuangren laughed.

He then looked in a certain direction in the distance.

The Dark Demonic Forgotten Lands…

Before leaving the Void Battlefield, he wanted to investigate that area while the Great Water Nation Warring Map Formation’s effects were still active.

With that thought in mind, he chatted for a while before heading toward that location.

Upon arriving there, he was greeted with the same desolate surroundings. Dark swirls of mist could be seen flowing around, emanating a strange and ominous aura.

An idea suddenly came to Chu Kuangren’s mind.

Could he use the Great Destiny Technique to conduct divination on this place?

The Central Heaven Universe’s Mystic Divination Tribe once attempted to do so, but they suffered terrible consequences, with a group of God Kings losing their lives.

However, he was different.

His fate was strange and peculiar, unlike others.

He even had the protection of the Divine Destiny Temple, so he had nothing to worry about.

At that thought, he immediately started his divination.

Moments after, his consciousness arrived within a space filled with darkness. It was similar to his path of destiny, which was filled with nothingness.

‘Is it another being with a non-existent fate like me?’

Just when Chu Kuangren was uncertain and shocked, a pair of eyes suddenly opened from within the boundless darkness.

“Who dares peer into my destiny? How insolent!”

A chilling grunt sounded.

Following that, an incredibly deep and terrifying dark aura emerged.

At that moment, a burst of Immortal Sparks erupted from Chu Kuangren’s body.

An even mysterious and domineering Destiny power erupted. The dark aura instantly disintegrated.

“Is that…”

The one who spoke was seemingly shocked.

Then, the silhouette of a magnificent and grand divine temple appeared behind Chu Kuangren, emanating an aura that suppressed the world itself.

The divine temple trembled, its endless radiance illuminating the surroundings.

The dark path of destiny suddenly went on the brink of collapse.

Within the darkness, a man in black robes looked shocked.

“This is… The Divine Destiny Temple!!”

“How is this possible?”

The black-robed man was incredibly shocked. He knew of the Divine Destiny Temple, but that was why he was even more shocked.

“Please have mercy, honorable Temple Lord!” the man in black robes said loudly.

Chu Kuangren was surprised to be called that.

The Divine Destiny Temple behind him seemingly sensed his thoughts. It soon disappeared, returning into hiding within the unknown dimension.

The Divine Temple seemingly sensed that he was in danger and appeared to protect him.

Chu Kuangren was a little surprised.

‘The Destiny Dao is truly mysterious and full of surprises.’

‘This also means that the Divine Temple representing Destiny Dao is also a supreme authority that’s filled with mysteries.’

The next instant, Chu Kuangren’s consciousness came out from the river of destiny and returned to the Dark Demonic Forgotten Lands. The endless black mist before him had already dispersed to the side, opening a path for him to enter.

“Oh, is this an invitation for me to enter?”

Chu Kuangren pondered and walked ahead.

He did not have any results from that divination earlier.

‘I might as well go and meet the ruler of these lands then.’

No one had ever stepped into the depths of the Dark Demonic Forgotten Lands.

However, on that very day, dressed in white robes, Chu Kuangren arrived in his usual prideful manner. All he could see was a coffin there.

The coffin was black and made using some sort of unknown material, with mysterious and gorgeous patterns engraved all over it.

A man in black robes slowly stood up from the coffin.

His aura was extremely ominous, with the surrounding black mist receding and rising with his every breath. Chu Kuangren was secretly shocked greatly upon seeing this.

‘The dangerous mists of the Dark Demonic Forgotten Lands were all coming from this man’s breathing?!’

‘What kind of terrifying being is he?’

Chu Kuangren was secretly astonished.

However, he did not show his emotions and maintained a calm demeanor.

“Greetings, Master of Destiny. I am the Dark Demonic Ruler.” The man in black robes, the Dark Demonic Ruler, said as he bowed.

The man’s respectful tone surprised Chu Kuangren was a little surprised, and he noticed that the man seemed fearful of him. However, the man was far more powerful than him.

“Do you know who I am?”

“Besides the Master of Destiny, no one in the vast Infiniverse can summon the Divine Destiny Temple,” the Dark Demonic Ruler said lightly.

“How knowledgeable,” Chu Kuangren replied.

At the same time, he asked Lil Ai to analyze the being before him. However, he could not obtain any results. It meant that the Dark Demonic Ruler before him was a being that exceeded the limits of Lil Ai’s analytical capabilities!

It was the first time Chu Kuangren encountered that situation.

Inside an unknown corner, Lil Ai, who did not possess a fixed form, felt frustrated and annoyed.

She was too weak.

As of now, she could not even catch up to Chu Kuangren’s rate of getting stronger.

Chu Kuangren had already encountered a being that could not be analyzed. If it were the first encounter, there would certainly be a second one.

If that continued, she would certainly be ignored as a useless ability and cast aside by Chu Kuangren in an unknown corner.

Lil Ai must not allow something to happen.

She was eager to improve herself.

‘But what should I do?’

Chu Kuangren did not understand Lil Ai’s predicament. He merely looked at the Dark Demonic Ruler before him and asked again, “Why are you here?”

“Many years ago, I was heavily injured after battling the Holy Light Ruler, so I fled and ended up here and went into slumber to recuperate my injuries,” the Dark Demonic Ruler said.
