2068 The Eight Great Heretics, the Dark Evil Dragon, Do You Recognize This?

After killing Yan Xu, Chu Kuangren looked toward the other surviving cultivators of the Radiant Church. His gaze was cold and filled with killing intent.

‘I might as well get rid of everyone!’

However, the grounds of the Thousand Suns City suddenly erupted at that moment.

A gigantic crack appeared in the ground. Within the depths of the crack, brilliant Immortal Sparks burst out, followed by the illuminating glimmers from the treasures.

Many of the cultivators were stunned as they looked over.

A gigantic golden-yellow palace could be seen hidden underground from the crack’s opening, and inside was filled with treasures brimming with Immortal Sparks.

Everyone’s eyes lit up like a cat picking up the scent of fish.

“Could those be the treasures left behind before the Thousand Suns City reopened?”

“It’s possible. I heard that before the Great Hongmeng Universe reopened, Thousand Suns City was known to be a reputable force. They possessed such a wealth of treasure that it could not be relocated in one go. Those are likely the treasures left behind by those who came before us, hoping that they could come and take it back one day.”

“Quick, let’s enter and see what treasure awaits us.”

Just as everyone was prepared to head in, a few figures suddenly appeared from within the palace. Each of them was dressed in long black robes.

Upon sensing their auras, the congregations were stunned. “This aura… They’re members of the Darkness Tribe!”

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up in surprise.

‘The Darkness Tribe…’

‘Well, isn’t this a coincidence?’

After the cultivators in black robes appeared, a dark aura suddenly emanated from the palace behind them.

The cultivators who wanted to explore the palace were all swallowed by that deep darkness, and their screams and howls echoed in the surrounding.

“No. No, what is this?”

“No…”

“Monster… It’s a monster!”

As a faint roar came from deep within the darkness, everyone could not help but tremble from being drowned by fear of the unknown.

It was as if an unknown and unfathomable monster was hidden within the darkness.

However, that was not the end of it.

The darkness spread forward, eventually eroding everything in all directions.

By then, no one could care less about looking for treasures, and they quickly fled. However, a black bundle of light had appeared above the Thousand Suns City. It immediately expanded and rained down around the city like a waterfall.

The entire Thousand Suns City was soon enshrouded in darkness.

“What’s happening?”

“Damn it. We’re all trapped inside.”

“This is the Darkness Enchanted Boundary!”

The Radiant Church cultivators were shocked to see the black veil of light.

For countless years, the Radiant Church had been at odds with its only arch-enemy, the Darkness Tribe led by the Dark Demonic Ruler. Both orthodoxies had been at war incessantly for countless years.

During the previous Hongmeng Era, a time before the Great Hongment Universe reopened, the Holy Light Goddess critically injured the Dark Demonic Ruler, causing the Darkness Tribe’s downfall. Since then, the Darkness Tribe had not wreaked havoc for many years.

Now that the Great Hongment Universe had reopened, those cultivators had appeared to cause trouble.

“Damn it. The Darkness Tribe cultivators are really no different than pests. I can’t believe they haven’t died out yet. Send word to the nearest church for reinforcements immediately and request for them to come right away.”

“We mustn’t allow the Darkness Tribe to return to their former glory.”

“There must be a reason for their appearance here…”

After the congregators sent word for reinforcements, the darkness had swallowed all of the Thousand Suns City.

Faint roaring sounds could be heard from everywhere within the darkness.

“Such repulsive radiant aura…”

A roar rang out.

Then, something dragged one of the church cultivators into the darkness. After a horrifying scream, everything went quiet.

“Everyone, regroup now,” one of the other church cultivators said.

Everyone quickly huddled with their backs against one another and channeled their radiant aura, lighting the darkness like light bulbs.

That was when they finally saw what the monster within the darkness was.

It was a black dragon.

Its thick, huge body was covered in gigantic dragon scales swirling with strands of darkness aura; its head was like a mountain peak; its yellow eyes were staring at the Radiant Church cultivators with the intent to attack.

Its vast and dense dragon aura surged, instantly filling the surroundings.

Everyone started shuddering with fear.

“That’s one of the Eight Great Heretics, the Dark Evil Dragon!” one of the church cultivators yelled, his eyes filled with fear.

“The records of Divine Radiant Scriptures are all true. The Eight Great Heretics truly exist. Known as the Dark Evil Dragon, its body is wrapped in dark flames, bringing disaster and destruction wherever it goes. When it appears, he will bring darkness to the world,” another church cultivator mumbled.

Eventually, he fell to the ground as his legs became soft due to the fear.

It was just as the contents recorded in the Divine Radiant Scriptures stated.

“Roar…”

The black dragon looked at the congregators and roared.

Pitch-black flames shot out from its nostrils with every breath it took.

A few cultivators were instantly burned to ashes.

“Although I’ve been sealed for a long time, you Radiant Church cultivators still have such a disgusting aura. I guess some things never change. Oh well, your flesh may reek, but it can replenish a little of my strength…” the black dragon said.

Then, it opened its mouth, and a powerful suction force erupted.

The church cultivators were all sucked into his mouth without the ability to resist. Soon, a terrifying chewing sound echoed in the darkness.

The black dragon’s aura increased steadily.

“Blergh…”

After eating the cultivators, the black dragon looked disgusted and retched twice. “As expected of the followers of that Radiant Goddess b*tch. They stink just as much as she does.”

His draconic pair of eyes swept through the darkness before landing on the cultivators shuddering in fear. “I might as well eat the others to rinse my mouth.”

Everyone had goosebumps.

“Quick, let’s get out of here.”

Everyone quickly turned into various animals and beasts and escaped in all directions.

However, as they could not make out the exit inside the darkness, they were running blindly like headless chickens. Eventually, the black dragon caught them and ate them all, one by one.

“Hm?”

Suddenly, the black dragon let out a soft grunt and looked excitedly in a direction. “Such a dense vitality qi… It’ll be splendid nourishment.”

He looked toward the direction Chu Kuangren was in.

Amidst the darkness, Chu Kuangren’s vitality qi fluctuation was akin to a huge light bulb shining brightly. It was hard for the black dragon not to notice.

His figure flashed, immediately dashing toward Chu Kuangren’s direction.

Soon, he arrived before Chu Kuangren and walked around him twice with greed in his eyes. “Wonderful, simply wonderful. With such a pure and dense vitality qi, you’re the human form of a top-tiered Chaos Supreme Elixir!”

The black dragon was delighted.

He may not be able to return to his prime by devouring Chu Kuangren, but he could at least regain one or two percent of his full strength.

Furthermore, he could sense a peculiar aura from Chu Kuangren’s body.

Chu Kuangren’s aura was seemingly causing a throbbing response in his bloodline, which made him extremely curious.

While the black dragon glared at Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren was also observing him curiously. “You’re from the Darkness Tribe?”

“Oh, you’re not afraid of me, huh?” the black dragon said with amusement.

“Why must I be afraid of you?”

“Young one, you may have the Ultimate Physical Body and may be on par with the Primordials, but it won’t be hard for me to kill you even though I’ve just broken free.”

“You can’t kill me,” Chu Kuangren said calmly with both hands behind his back.

“What a joke. Besides his Highness, there’s no one that I, the great Dark Evil Dragon can’t kill.” The Dark Evil Dragon snorted.

“Is that so? In that case, do you recognize this?”

Chu Kuangren took out an insignia.
