Chapter 514: Son of the Realm Lord, A Fist to the Burst
Chapter 514: Son of the Realm Lord, A Fist to the Burst
Meng Chong continued his cultivation, breaking through the ever-present bottleneck of the Qinghua Realm. He cultivated, and tended to matters that needed his attention.
The turmoil in the Divine Realm had no impact on this tranquil place.
And it certainly didn't affect Li Xuan, who was still perusing the bamboo slips, filled with intriguing tales and anecdotes. Reading a little each day, he found himself immersed for long stretches of time.
It was a pleasant way to pass the time.
"This seems like a diary, perhaps kept by the Sea Spirit Emperor?" Li Xuan mused to himself. The bamboo slips contained accounts that resembled a personal record of experiences and observations.
Although the bamboo slips originated from the Sea Spirit Tribe, they might not have been written by the Sea Spirit Emperor himself. After all, the records barely mentioned the tribe.
One day, unexpected news arrived. A Godly Sovereign cultivator from outside the Nine Mountains had issued a challenge to Meng Chong!
The challenge spread throughout the Divine Realm, causing quite a stir. Once again, the name of the Heavenly God, Meng Chong, resonated across the realm, even catching the attention of some of the Supreme Beings.
"Is that Godly Sovereign from the Alliance of a Myriad Treasures seeking death?" Meng Shushu exclaimed in disbelief.
After backing down for so long, the Alliance of a Myriad Treasures was unexpectedly bold this time, directly challenging Meng Chong to restore their lost prestige.
Was this because they had backing from a Godly Sovereign cultivator from the Dao Realm, making them feel emboldened?
It hadn't been long since Xu Yan had slain a Godly Sovereign. Did they not know about the connection between Meng Chong and Xu Yan?
Meng Chong emerged from his seclusion, a look of surprise on his face.
"Those fellows from the Alliance of a Myriad Treasures, Hong Yi and the others, are usually quite shrewd. What made them act so foolishly this time?"
The last time the Alliance had backed down, they had shown a keen sense of the prevailing winds, so he hadn't made things difficult for Hong Yi and his companions.
But now, after such a short while, a Godly Sovereign had come to challenge him? That Godly Sovereign had issued the challenge outside the Nine Mountains, boasting that Meng Chong would meet his end when he arrived.
Originally, the Godly Sovereign had intended to challenge Meng Chong at the border between the Qinghua Realm and the Nine Mountains Realm. However, Chi Cat had blocked his path, demanding a toll for entry into the Nine Mountains Realm.
Reluctantly, the Godly Sovereign had no choice but to issue the challenge outside the Nine Mountains, as he found that his strength was insufficient to defeat the Great Demon King.
"This comes at a perfect time. I can stretch my legs a bit!" Meng Chong said with a sinister smile.
When someone came knocking on death's door, how could he refuse?
Without delay, Meng Chong set out for the battlefield. Zi Yun was thrilled, eager to witness Meng Chong's mighty display once more.
Meng Shushu, Shi Er, Feng Yan, and the others were equally excited as they made their way to the site, including the Great Yue Emperor and his group. Such an opportunity to witness a battle between Godly Sovereigns was not to be missed.
Upon arriving in the Nine Mountains Realm, Chi Cat came running to greet them, accompanied by an unexpected guest—Hong Yi from the Alliance of a Myriad Treasures.
"Hong Yi, I thought your Alliance knew how to read the room," Meng Chong said with a hint of surprise. "What brings you here?"
He was indeed taken aback, as his senior brother, Xu Yan, had made it clear that crushing Godly Sovereigns was as easy as squashing insects. After the previous incident with the Shame Alliance, Hong Yi and the other cultivators from the Alliance should have been aware of his connection with Xu Yan.
Given these circumstances, how dare they send a mere Godly Sovereign to seek revenge?
Hong Yi wore an expression of wronged innocence. "Meng Hero, this is a misunderstanding. We have nothing to do with it. We're here to explain and ensure you don't blame us."
Meng Chong's face clouded with confusion. Misunderstanding?
"Could it be that the Godly Sovereign isn't from your Alliance of a Myriad Treasures?"
Hong Yi sighed. "He is our backer from the Dao Realm, from the Wan Tao Realm. He has a terrible personality. Upon hearing about you, Meng Hero, he insisted on seeking an explanation..."
As Hong Yi explained, Meng Chong and the others finally understood. The Godly Sovereign was overly domineering and arrogant, treating everyone with contempt, including Hong Yi and his companions.
Rumor had it that this Godly Sovereign had an extraordinary background, being the son of the Realm Lord of the Wan Tao Realm, one of the three hundred realms in the Dao Realm. This had fostered his haughty attitude, and he didn't even spare the Supreme Beings a second glance.
Naturally, because of his status as the son of a Realm Lord, the Supreme Beings dared not provoke him.
Hong Yi and the other cultivators from the Alliance of a Myriad Treasures had endured his abuse, and their resentment ran deep. When he decided to challenge Meng Chong to avenge the Alliance, not a single person reminded him of the connection between Meng Chong and Xu Yan.
And so, the challenge had been issued.
Fearing that Meng Chong would misunderstand and blame them, Hong Yi had come to clarify the situation and distance themselves from the Godly Sovereign.
"Meng Hero, his identity is no small matter. As the son of a Realm Lord, and with his unique status, his strength is also considerable. The Supreme Beings dare not touch him, so this time, he came to the Divine Realm without any of them accompanying him. He's here purely for leisure. If he dies, it might provoke retaliation from his father, the Realm Lord." Hong Yi explained gravely.
"The son of a Realm Lord, huh? Whether I kill him or not depends on his attitude. If he insists on seeking death, I'll be happy to oblige. As for his father..." Meng Chong trailed off, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.
Chapter 514: Son of the Realm Lord, A Fist to the Arrogant
"Even if the Realm Lord is powerful, he's still like an ant in Master's eyes. Moreover, the Wan Tao Realm Lord's strength is only mediocre among his peers. Even Lao Tou could suppress him."
Li Xuan continued, "As the son of the Realm Lord, he must truly hate me now and is definitely plotting his revenge."
Chi Cat exclaimed in surprise, "That's right! He wanted to enter the Nine Mountains, but I blocked his path and didn't hold back on my insults. After our fight, he must be fuming."
Given the other party's nature and their status as the son of a Realm Lord, they were likely accustomed to acting arrogantly and would not be able to swallow this humiliation. Their mind must be filled with thoughts of revenge.
But Chi Cat wasn't worried in the slightest. After all, his master was a Dao Zu, and in terms of background and connections, the other party was nothing in comparison!
At the border between the Nine Mountains and the Changyun Realm, a multitude of powerful experts had gathered. The weakest among them were the Immortal Celestial Emperors, and even then, they were the cream of the crop within that realm.
Martial artists below the Immortal realm didn't have the qualifications to witness this battle.
Among the spectators were Heavenly Harmony Realm martial artists from the Dao Domain, as well as Godly Sovereigns, but there were no Supreme Realm experts as they were all occupied with their own tasks.
"Isn't that Wan Jie?"
"Yes, it is. He's the son of the Wan Tao Realm Lord, always acting so arrogantly. The Wan Tao Realm is the backbone of the Myriad Treasures Alliance in the God Domain. This time, Wan Jie has come to the God Domain to hear about the Heavenly God, Meng Chong, and to restore the prestige of the Myriad Treasures Alliance."
"The Heavenly God, Meng Chong? I've heard a little about him. He shook the God Domain and made the Myriad Treasures Alliance bow their heads."
The group of Godly Sovereign martial artists from the Dao Domain discussed the matter with great interest.
"This time, Wan Jie is probably going to be unlucky."
Someone relished the thought of the impending misfortune.
"How so?"
"Apparently, Meng Chong and Xu Yan are from the same sect. There's no way Meng Chong's strength is weak. Wan Jie is only at the Godly Sovereign Realm. He's definitely going to lose this time."
"I see!"
However, someone else disagreed, "That's not necessarily true. Wan Jie is the son of a Realm Lord, which sets him apart from other Godly Sovereigns. Do you think Meng Chong dares to kill the son of a Realm Lord?"
Upon hearing this, the rest of the group couldn't help but reveal envious expressions.
"A Realm Lord! That's the pinnacle of power in the entire world. Even the weakest Realm Lord is high and mighty, someone that no one below their level dares to offend."
Moreover, as fellow Realm Lords, they would try to avoid conflict with each other as much as possible. Even if Meng Chong had the backing of a Dao Realm expert, he wouldn't dare to make an enemy out of another Realm Lord. Doing so would break the unspoken agreement between Realm Lords.
"Wan Jie can act so arrogantly and domineeringly in the Dao Domain because he relies on his father's status. This time, I hope Meng Chong teaches him a good lesson."
A Godly Sovereign martial artist coldly smiled, clearly holding some animosity towards Wan Jie. It seemed he had long disliked Wan Jie's style.
"Indeed, teaching Wan Jie a lesson would be satisfying. Just watching him get beaten up would make me happy!"
Another martial artist chimed in, agreeing with the previous speaker.
As for killing Wan Jie, they didn't hold out much hope. After all, he was the son of a Realm Lord, a highly revered figure with powerful connections.
"Meng Chong is here!"
Among the spectators, Zhou QingShang, a martial artist from the Great Blazing Realm and princess of the Great Blazing Dynasty, spoke softly.
Her bright eyes fixed on the burly figure, as well as the purple-clad woman accompanying him, a hint of admiration in her gaze.
Next to Zhou QingShang stood a Godly Sovereign from the Great Blazing Realm. She raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "Meng Chong's physical body gives me an extremely powerful feeling."
Aside from that, it was difficult to gauge Meng Chong's true strength.
"Are you the so-called Heavenly God, Meng Chong?"
Wan Jie stood on a high platform made of giant stones, looking down at Meng Chong with a haughty demeanor.
"I heard you're the son of the Wan Tao Realm Lord?"
Meng Chong scratched his head. This Wan Jie was indeed arrogant, his eyes looking down on everyone else.
Upon hearing Meng Chong's confirmation, Wan Jie's arrogance intensified, and he continued to act wildly, "What now? Are you scared now? How about this: hand over the woman by your side, kneel and kowtow three times, then become my lackey. If you do all that, I'll spare your life!"
The authority of a Realm Lord was absolute in this world, and no one dared to offend them except for other Realm Lords.
This was the source of Wan Jie's boldness and the reason he acted so domineeringly. Even Supreme experts with the backing of a Realm Lord wouldn't dare to kill him.
After all, he was the son of a Realm Lord, and there were unwritten rules among the various Realms in the Dao Domain.
For example, the direct disciples and offspring of a Realm Lord were considered untouchable. Even if there were conflicts between the offspring of two Realm Lords, they were not allowed to kill each other.
In Wan Jie's eyes, Meng Chong was just a Godly Sovereign martial artist from the God Domain. No matter how talented he was, how could he compare to Wan Jie's noble status as the son of a Realm Lord?
Thus, Wan Jie acted arrogantly, in line with his usual behavior, preparing to humiliate Meng Chong and make him understand the consequences of offending the son of a Realm Lord!
Zi Yun was enraged and blurted out, "Meng Chong, beat him to death! How dare he covet me? Beat him to death!"
Meng Chong scratched his head and revealed a ferocious smile. This son of a Realm Lord was even more arrogant than him, a direct disciple of a Dao Zu. If he didn't beat him to death, it would tarnish his reputation as the Heavenly God.
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Meng Chong took a step forward, his fierce aura gradually intensifying.
However, he didn't transform into a golden giant or unleash a powerful aura.
"Make your move, or you won't even get the chance!"
Meng Chong stood on the high platform, a sinister smile on his face.
"Arrogant!" Wan Jie shouted furiously. "I want to see what qualifications you have to call yourself the Heavenly God!"
Boom!
In an instant, Wan Jie's aura exploded, and he held a long sword in his hand.
The sword was imbued with Dao patterns and intertwined with laws, making it a heavenly treasure far superior to ordinary divine artifacts. It had been blessed by a Realm Lord expert.
This was Wan Jie's trump card, the source of his confidence in surpassing countless Godly Sovereigns and slaying them.
"Indeed, he's the son of a Realm Lord. That divine artifact is far beyond the ones we possess!"
The observing Godly Sovereign martial artists couldn't help but exclaim in envy.
"Can Meng Chong win?"
When Wan Jie wielded the divine artifact blessed by a Realm Lord, their confidence in Meng Chong wavered.
"You dare to play with a sword in front of me?"
Meng Chong sneered, "I won't hold back either. If my punch doesn't burst you, I'll spare your life!"
"Die!"
Wan Jie roared in anger and slashed with his sword.
Although he was arrogant, he gave it his all in this attack, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.
The fierce aura emanating from Meng Chong gave him a subtle sense of pressure.
With a slash of his sword, the sword glow seemed to envelop a small world, fiercely slicing down. The space of the heavens seemed to shake as if it would be cleaved apart by this strike.
The observing martial artists below the Heavenly Harmony Realm hurriedly retreated, their faces filled with shock.
Even the Godly Sovereign martial artists looked grave, secretly assessing whether they could withstand such an attack.
The conclusion was clear: they would definitely suffer severe injuries if they faced this strike!
Boom!
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the spectators witnessed what appeared to be a great sun manifesting between the heavens and the earth.
They saw Meng Chong throw a punch, resembling a great sun as it burst forth. The might of the sun seemed like a giant mountain pressing down on everyone.
In their eyes was an unstoppable force, a sun capable of annihilating everything.
This time, not only the martial artists below the Heavenly Harmony Realm retreated in panic, but even the Godly Sovereign realm experts paled in fright and quickly moved away.
A punch that resembled the sun extinguishing the world.
Boom!
Wan Jie's sword strike seemed as fragile as paper in the face of the sun, shattering upon impact. The might of that single punch was astonishing.
"My father is a Realm Lord..."
Wan Jie's expression changed drastically, his breathing almost stopping. He felt the crisis of death, his physical body and soul seemingly about to be crushed.
No amount of defense or attack seemed capable of stopping this punch.
A punch akin to the sun extinguishing the world!
At this moment, he hurriedly spoke up, wanting to remind Meng Chong of his identity as the son of a Realm Lord, that even if a conflict broke out, it shouldn't result in death.
Boom!
However, the punch showed no signs of stopping and landed squarely on his body.
Poof!
The hearts of the Godly Sovereign martial artists trembled, their bodies involuntarily shaking. Wan Jie had been punched to pieces, his body and soul obliterated without a trace!
He was the son of a Realm Lord!
Imprinted in their minds was the image of that sun-like punch that annihilated everything in its path.
At this moment, they involuntarily recalled Meng Chong's nickname, the Heavenly God!
A punch from the Heavenly God had obliterated a Godly Sovereign. Such violent power was probably unmatched even by Supreme Beings!
What shocked the Godly Sovereigns even more was that Wan Jie was the son of a Realm Lord, yet Meng Chong hadn't hesitated for a moment. He hadn't even blinked before delivering that devastating punch, obliterating Wan Jie without leaving a corpse for the Wan Tao Realm Lord.
This was probably the first time in history that someone had so blatantly disregarded the authority of a Realm Lord and humiliated them.
