Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

"We must look ahead."

"That's right. After all, that heretic has obtained the Tempest King's inheritance. He won't be defeated that easily I'm afraid."

"Exactly. Besides, the Hongmeng Spirit World that recently appeared must be filled with many Opportunities of Fortune. Perhaps that heretic might show himself there too."

While everyone discussed, Bachelor Saint Lang's eyes lit up. "That's right. He will surely be there. When that time comes, I must take revenge for my brother's death!"

"Bachelor Saint Lang, I heard that the heretic is extremely powerful and can even rival a Grand Dao cultivator. With your abilities, I'm afraid you're not strong enough."

"I don't care. No matter what, I will never let this matter slide!"

"I heard that the Child of Light will soon arrive at the church and lead us to explore the Spirit World. Perhaps you can get him to hand out justice for you!"

One of the Bachelor Saints came up with an idea.

Bachelor Saint Lang was a little moved. "The Child of Light represents the will of her Holiness. His abilities will certainly be far beyond ours. Even if the heretic has three heads and six arms or any overpowered techniques, as long as he's facing the Child of Light, there's no way he'll survive!"

Upon recalling the legend surrounding the Child of Light, Bachelor Saint Lang thought about it more and realized it could work out.

"In that case, it's decided."

…

Inside the Holy Radiant Church, Chu Kuangren was sitting with his legs crossed. He opened the Fantasy Roulette for his daily gacha roll.

"Congratulation, Host! You have obtained a Transcendent-tier reward, the Bodhi Samadhi!"

'The Bodhi Samadhi?'

Chu Kuangren was surprised.

The moment he accepted the reward, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

The Bodhi Samadhi was a Great Dao-level cultivation technique on par with the Vitality Qi Divine Celestial.

Besides, that cultivation technique possessed a unique effect.

It could cleanse away the user's greed, hatred, and delusion[1], allowing their minds to be at peace.

"This effect… It's too peculiar."

"Bodhi? Samadhi? It seems to be a Buddhist cultivation technique," Chu Kuangren mumbled.

However, seeing that it was a Great Dao-level technique, Chu Kuangren went and learned it.

Soon, Ming Fei came to Chu Kuangren and said, "It's time."

"Got it."

Chu Kuangren nodded

After leaving Yalan Palace, Chu Kuangren came to a teleportation formation in the holy church and was instantly transported to the Radiant Church.

As Ming Fei watched Chu Kuangren disappear through the teleportation formation, she asked the Radiant Goddess. "Your Holiness, do you think those in the Radiant Church will accept him?"

"I have informed the Radiant Left Sky King about this."

"Even so, I'm afraid they'll be people who won't accept him in the Radiant Church."

"Well, it'll be up to him then. As the one who shall face the Doomsday Darkness, something as trivial as this should not be a problem for him," the Radiant Goddess said calmly.

…

At the Church, many of the church cultivators were led to gather at the plaza by the Radiant Church Leader's orders. Every single one of them had a devout look on their faces.

They were all waiting for the Child of Light's arrival.

The Radiant Left Sky King, however, was watching the scene uncomfortably from the side.

At that moment, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly appeared and spread from the sky.

A white pillar of light descended from the sky, landing in the center of the plaza. It emanated an incredibly vast and dense Radiant aura.

The aura shocked the crowd.

It was too pure.

The Radiant aura was simply too pure.

It made them feel as though they were in the presence of the Radiant Goddess.

"Has her Holiness personally descended upon us?"

"No, her Holiness's aura is far more powerful than this. However, the purity of this aura… It's almost comparable to the Goddess."

"No wonder they call him the Child of Light."

The church congregants lowered their heads piously and knelt on the ground.

All the Bachelor Saints, Maiden Saints, Priests, Bishops, and the Church Leader did the same.

To them, the Child of Light was no less significant than the Radiant Goddess.

"We welcome thee, Child of Light!"

"We welcome thee, Child of Light!"

The pillar of light connected the skies and earth.

As the pillar of light gradually dissipated, a figure slowly walked out of it. That figure, now standing before everyone, was dressed in white robes. With his jade-like appearance and his silver-white hair dancing in the air, he looked pure and flawless.

The aura emanating from his body was vast and filled with endless radiance.

It was as if every wrongdoing and crime would be laid bare, with nowhere to hide before that man!

"Stand up, everyone."

Chu Kuangren looked at the Radiant Church congregants kneeling before him and could not help but sigh.

He could not believe that a heretic like him was now being worshiped by so many Radiant Church cultivators. If word of it spread, no one would believe it.

The Radiant Church Leader and others slowly raised their heads.

Everyone wanted to lay their eyes on the glory of the Child of Light's appearance.

The moment their eyes landed on him, they were mesmerized.

The appearance and demeanor of the person standing before them embodied the word "radiance" to its fullest extent.

However, Bishop Liu Hu, the Radiant Church Leader, and other top brass members looked at Chu Kuangren. The longer they looked at him, the more they found him familiar. It was as if they had seen that face somewhere before.

"Honorable Child of Light, I beseech you to hand out justice for me!"

Suddenly, Bachelor Saint Lang rushed out, knelt before Chu Kuangren, and said loudly, "My younger brother has been killed by a heretic. He was a Bachelor Saint of the Radiant Church, a future pillar of support for the church! Please, you must kill this heretic who has besmirched the light for the good of everyone!"

Chu Kuangren looked at the man kneeling before him and asked, "Who is the heretic you're talking about?"

"His name is Chu Kuangren."

Chu Kuangren froze.

'What?'

'Is he asking me to annihilate myself?'

"Have you seen this person before?"

"No. However, I'll remember this person's appearance forever. I have a drawing of him."

As Bachelor Saint Lang shook his head, he took out a portrait scroll and opened it.

Inside the portrait scroll was the drawing of a person in white robes.

When the crowd saw the portrait, they were dumbfounded.

"This person looks… a little familiar."

"Wait a minute, this person looks a little like the Child of Light," someone said with uncertainty.

Everyone soon noticed that too. Their gazes moved between Chu Kuangren and the man in the portrait. Suddenly, the whole plaza fell silent.

Even Bachelor Saint Lang froze as he looked at Chu Kuangren before him, confused.

Was he kneeling before his younger brother's killer all along?

The Radiant Church Leader, Bishop Liu Hu, and others were dumbstruck. 'The Child of Light turns out to be the heretic who's been opposing the Radiant Church!'

'How… How is this possible?'

"You… Who the hell are you?"

Bachelor Saint Lang looked at Chu Kuangren and asked with disbelief.

Chu Kuangren merely stared at him indifferently. "Who do you think I am?"

The Radiant Church Leader and others also looked at Chu Kuangren with grim expressions. They then looked at the Radiant Left Sky King, hoping he would give them an explanation.

"Chu Kuangren is the person the Radiant Goddess handpicked to be the Child of Light! This fact is unquestionable!"

Although the Radiant Left Sky King did not wish to speak for Chu Kuangren, it was the Radiant Goddess's orders. He had no choice but to comply.

"The Child of Light was deceived by the Darkness Tribe, but he returned to his rightful path after meeting the Radiant Goddess…"

The Radiant Left Sky King explained a lot.

As per the Radiant Goddess's request, he made up a story about the "prodigal son who repented and returned to his rightful path."

Chu Kuangren's lips curled into a smile.

He did not refute anything because it would make things easier for him.

Although the Radiant Church Leader and others still had doubts about Chu Kuangren, they could only put aside their confusion and obey the Radiant Goddess's will.

Bachelor Saint Lang, however, was still overcome with shock.

"I don't believe it. I won't believe it…"

"How can this be…"

Chu Kuangren took a look at him and ignored him. He turned around and was about to leave.

It was at that moment that Bachelor Saint Lang yelled at Chu Kuangren, "No, I will not acknowledge you as the Child of Light!"
