Chapter 2321 Fusing the Human Ancestor's Blood, Fortune's Shift, Heavenly Sovereign’s Betrayal
Chu Kuangren spent more time stripping the Infernal Dragon energy, the Devil's Pupil, the Radiant Seed, and Doomsday Darkness. The various powers had helped him a lot in the past, but he felt nothing when he stripped them all away. He understood the importance of give and take. Besides, the powers were stripped from his body, not abandoned. The powers were just temporarily sealed away in his Pocket Universe. "Alright, now let us refine the Human Ancestor's Blood," Chu Kuangren murmured.
Without the excessive powers, the Human Ancestor's Blood no longer rejected him and slowly fused with his body.
An ancient and profound energy circulated in his body, fusing with his Ultimate Almighty Source Physique, the only thing that resonated with the energy.
While he was fusing with the Human Ancestor's Blood, there was a change in the human race's fortune energy.
Many human great ones could feel the changes. "The human race's fortune energy is changing. What is going on?" "The fortune energy seems to be gathering at a single point. That direction… Feng Domain's Pan Gu Sect? It's Chu Kuangren?"
"What is he up to this time?" Everyone else was surprised once again. Chu Kuangren was indeed a troublemaker. Not only had he caused a ton of problems that could reshape the universe before he went into closed-door cultivation, but even now that he was cultivating, he was causing troubles.
First, he cursed half of the Curse Tribe, and now, he was affecting the human race's fortune energy. Although the human race's great ones could sense the changes in the fortune energy of the Great Hongmeng Universe's human race, it was actually beyond the Great Hongmeng Universe. The fortune energy of the human race across the Infiniverse was being affected! Only less than a handful of great ones noticed the vast area of effect, including the Heavenly Sovereign, one of the three Adjudicators. "The fortune energy of the human race across the Infiniverse is changing?
"It's Chu Kuangren. He must be fusing the Human Ancestor's Blood!" The Heavenly Sovereign's expression shifted. The Daoist law energy circulated him, glimmering brightly as if it reflected his ever-changing emotions.
"No. Once the human race's fortune energy finds a master, I will not be able to siphon energy from it to boost my cultivation! How am I going to ascend to the Overlord Realm? Chu Kuangren, you have crossed the line this time."
Chu Kuangren had only seen the Heavenly Sovereign once, and there were practically no grudges between them.
Yet, the Heavenly Sovereign had intense killing intentions for Chu Kuangren after what the latter did, all because Chu Kuangren stood in his way.
Just as the Heavenly Sovereign tried to come up with a solution, golden rain descended in the realm.
The Human Empress had arrived.
"Oh? It's you. What is it?" The Heavenly Sovereign calmed down for a moment when he saw the Human Empress.
The Human Empress looked at him with a deep gaze. She said, "The fortune energy of the human race across the Infiniverse is changing. You should've noticed it."
"So what?"
"Are you nervous?"
"What do you mean?" The Heavenly Sovereign was baffled.
"Have a look at this."
The Human Empress revealed a gemstone that contained a sliver of energy. She said, "In recent years, someone has been siphoning the fortune energy of the human race. This energy belongs to the mastermind, and if I'm correct, this should be the Heavenly Golden energy, unique to your Heavenly Golden Art." The Heavenly Sovereign's eyes narrowed. "What are you trying to say?"
"You've been stealing the human race's fortune energy, am I right?"
"Nonsense! If I did that, you would've noticed a long time ago. Besides, I am also human. Why would I do something like that?" "In that case, can you show me your Monarch's Heart?" the Human Empress asked.
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned serious.
The Heavenly Sovereign went silent for a while.
Then, he chuckled. "I didn't expect the Tempest King to investigate this far. Maybe I should've killed her a long time ago."
His Monarch's Heart contained a large amount of fortune energy that he stole from the human race, and showing it to the Human Empress would expose him.
There was no way he would take it out.
Based on that, the Human Empress confirmed that the Heavenly Sovereign was the mastermind.
"It's you. Why did you do it? You're the Heavenly Sovereign of the Supreme Council, holding the superior authority over all in the human race. Why are you hurting the human race's fortune energy?" the Human Empress questioned him with a frosty gaze.
"Superior authority? It's nothing real! Only real power can last for eternity! I did it because I'm in search of a higher power! Human Empress, only by using the human race's fortune energy can I ascend to the Overlord Realm in time," the Heavenly Sovereign said with desire burning in his eyes.
The Overlord Realm was the realm beyond the Monarch Realm.
Monarchs were rare, but Overlords were rarer. The Human Ancestor, the Primal Infernal Dragon, the God of Slaughter, and all the ancient beings were all Overlords.
"The desire for power is not an excuse for you to hurt the entire human race! Heavenly Sovereign, you are unworthy of being the Adjudicator of the Supreme Council!" "Hmph. Is that so?" The Heavenly Sovereign's eyes gleamed fiercely as he prepared himself to attack.
A large amount of Heavenly Gold Daoist law energy gathered at his palm, and he launched it at the Human Empress. The vast amount of energy crushed even the void.
The Human Empress raised her paper umbrella to block it.
The paper umbrella with the stars, moon, and sun on it seemed to contain countless universes, and it blocked the Heavenly Sovereign's attack.
The blast, however, pushed her backward. "I am the Heavenly Sovereign! The Adjudicator of the Supreme Council who holds the highest authority of the human race! No one can judge me!" the Heavenly Sovereign shouted.
Rampant Heavenly Golden energy erupted, strong enough to annihilate a universe.
"You are nothing but a traitor of the human race," a frosty voice said.
Earthen qi rumbled, and a tall figure arrived. His eyes were burning with the flames of anger as he stared at the Heavenly Sovereign. It was the other Adjudicator, Earthen Monarch. "I'm not afraid even if the two of you team up." The Heavenly Sovereign channeled his terrifying Daoist law energy.
He had been stealing fortune energy from the human race for many years, and it boosted his power so much that he had long surpassed both the Human Empress and Earthen Monarch. However, he had just hidden it from them the entire time.
Now that his intention was exposed, there was no reason for him to hide it anymore.
The powerful energy put a grim look on the Human Empress's and Earthen Monarch's faces.
"What about me?" another frosty voice said.
A tall figure arrived, and her domineering and iron-willed qi filled the realm instantly.
It was the Tempest King, the Monarch who overpowered the previous era.
"It's you again."
The Heavenly Sovereign looked at her with frosty killing intents.
It was because of the Tempest King's investigation that enabled the Human Empress to expose him. "You're not even an Ultimate Monarch. How are you my match?" The Heavenly Sovereign scoffed.
The Tempest King may be powerful, but to the Adjudicator, who had been feeding off the human race's fortune energy for years, she was not good enough.
"Ultimate Monarch?" The Tempest King grinned, and then a terrifying energy erupted from her.
Spiritual qi, earthen qi, life qi, and even the starlight energy and the sun-moon energy of the universe gathered on her.
As she consumed the unparalleled energy, her energy skyrocketed.
It surged to the limit, and she became an Ultimate Monarch in just an instant.
"I am now."
