On the other side, Prince Yun He’s hand was still in the air as he was about to drink his wine, his and terrified expression crawled onto his face. As fear consumed Prince Yun He, the gods standing behind him shouted in anger and they tried to intercept King Geng.
These gods were incredibly strong, but as they charged at King Geng, King Geng hurled out moves they had never seen and with lightning speed, King Geng ripped their head off, severing their limbs and tearing their Yuan Shen into pieces as corpses rained down from the skies.
At the same time, Prince Yun He backed away quickly and the cup in his hand fell towards the table top.
“From now on, the top ten of the Heaven Realm is no more!”
King Geng burst out laughing and as he dashed past Prince Yun He, he raised his hand that held onto Prince Yun He’s head.
King Geng tossed the head away like garbage and reached towards the cup before it landed onto the table. He then brought it up to his lips and drank the wine, “When I fought with your father, he did all he could to defeat me. What gave you the courage to think that you could kill me and who gave you the courage to think that you were my opponent? Realm Monarch Yunshan, I suppose it’s about time that you show yourself?”
Seemingly out of nowhere, a solemn voice echoed and the dimension within Inn of Heavenly Treasures froze as everything in it ceased moving completely.
Chapter 702: Great Personalities |
Even without being present at the scene, the Realm Monarch still managed to freeze everything with just a cold snort.
As soon as King Geng killed Prince Yun He, Realm Monarch Yun Shan had already known about this and before he arrived, his voice had reached the scene!
And the amazement brought by King Geng after killing so many powerful foes with lightning speed was quickly erased by the Realm Monarch’s brief display of strength!
“Realm Monarch Yunshan!”
The Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud raised their head and blindly looked around but without vision, what could they see?
“Helian Yunshan, if you dare touch King Geng, I will tear you to pieces!” shouted Heavenly King Lu angrily as if he had forgotten that his limbs were no more.
But even if he still had his arms and legs, he was still no match for Realm Monarch Yun Shan.
A few moments had passed, and the Realm Monarch still nowhere to be seen, but the pressure he exerts remained.
After a few more minutes, the dimension within the Inn of Heavenly Treasure tore open and an officer with golden scroll walked out of the rift with two golden armored gods in tow.
Shua—
The scroll was opened and the officer gave King Geng a cold glance, “Under the orders of the Realm Monarch, Prince Yun He was murdered by King Geng and his crime shall not go unpunished. The Realm Monarch thus hereby sentences you to death!”
King Geng’s disappointment was clear on his face as completely ignored the officer and sneered into the skies, “Helian Yunshan, are you afraid of seeing me? Are you afraid of facing me!?”
The officer closed the scrolls and said coldly, “I assume you have comprehended this the wrong way. The Realm Monarch is a busy man and he has other important matters to attend to. Realm Monarch was very angry that you killed his son, but that was not enough to set aside his other pressing matter. Now, may I please have King Geng get on the path to Hell? There is a seat for King Geng on the Stage of Beheading Gods and it will be easier for me to report back to King Geng after your soul is no more.”
The golden gods behind the officer immediately stepped out as the officer spoke and their bodies enlarged as they grabbed towards King Geng.
King Geng remained indifferent and the disappointment on his face intensified as he mocked, “You just don’t dare to face me, Helian Yunshan! Forget it, seems like you still feel guilt. At least a tiny part of you is still good.”
“Silence!” shouted the officer, “How dare you mock the Realm Monarch. How dare you assume to know the majesty of the Realm Monarch! The Realm Monarch is currently trying to settle the conflict between Realm Lord Fa and Realm Lord Hua so he merely had no time to be bothered about you. King Geng, your legacy is no more and you are nothing more than just an insect in the eyes of the Realm Monarch right now. Now, seize him and send him to the Stage of Beheading Gods!”
The two golden-armored gods then restrained King Geng’s movement and chained him up.
Suddenly, a voice could be heard shouting, “Stop this at once! I wish to protect him!”
The officer and the two golden armored gods dozed off for a second and when they looked towards the direction where the voice came from, they laughed mockingly when they saw a young human shouting.
“Is this a human here saying that he wishes to protect King Geng?”
The officer laughed and screeched, “You humans are nothing! Even if we set aside your lowly bloodline and your status, what are you relying on to say that you want to protect this criminal that murdered the prince?”
He then directed his presence straight at Zhong Yue, pressuring Zhong Yue so much that his bones started to creak yet he refused to surrender. Blood started flowing out of Zhong Yue’s mouth and he shouted, “I have an innate god supporting me! I want to protect King Geng!”
The officer was shocked and without a second thought, he immediately dispersed his power as he became lost on how to respond.
Zhong Yue felt relieved and after he stood up straight again, he said, “Tell Realm Monarch that today, his life belongs to me and that he will know if my support is an innate god or not after he asked Realm Lord Fa and Heavenly King Shang!”
The officer frowned and while he quickly returned to seek further advice from the Realm Monarch, he gave an order to the two golden gods to restrain King Geng but not to harm him. Not long later, the officer returned to the Heaven Court’s Hall of Supreme Harmony, and reported back to Realm Monarch, “That human said that he has an innate god behind him and that he wants to save King Geng. I dare not make reckless decisions so I’ve returned to you, my lord. He also said that this can be corroborated by Heavenly King Shang and Realm Lord Fa.”
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Realm Lord Fa and Realm Lord Hua were still arguing and along with the many Heavenly Kings and Realm Lords, the Realm Monarch was trying to calm the duo.
And the news brought back by this officer gave them all a scare and they lost their voice before they shouted at once, “An innate god?”
“The traitor King Geng is causing trouble again and this time, he even killed a prince?”
“The Realm Monarch spared his life because of the good deeds he did for this realm and because of the previous Realm Monarch. After his betrayal, he was merely banished into the Prison Realm and now, he still dares to commit crimes again?”
Realm Monarch Yunshan attracted the attention of Heavenly King Shang and Realm Lord Fa and said, “Heavenly King Shang, Realm Lord Fa, what the human said, is it true?
Heavenly King Shang hesitated for a moment and he quickly pushed the responsibilities to Realm Lord Fa by staring at him. Realm Lord Fa then replied with chagrin, “It’s true. In fact, this human is a very reckless and ruthless one; previously, he killed the son of the Emerald Heaven Dharma King, Prince Shi Yun. She did not dare to move against him without permission so she reported this to me. Shi Yun is my reborn son and as someone who appreciates talented individuals very much, I ordered Emerald Heaven Dharma King to stand down in an attempt to preserve talented individuals for the Prison Realm. Little did I know that in the competition in the Prison Realm, he even killed my beloved son, Fa Huasheng, and when I was about to execute him, the presence supporting him showed up. As a result, I did not dare to act against him anymore even after all the crimes he had committed.
Realm Monarch Yun Shan looked at Heavenly King Shang again and the speechless Heavenly King Shang nodded and replied, “Your humble servant and Realm Lord Fa had once met with this person and she really is an innate god. Perhaps, her strength is eve
n stronger than the Heavenly Monarch and the two of us had been suppressed by her power for about a year. I even thought of bribing this human brat but nothing seemed to have worked.”
The Realm Monarch kept quiet and he said suddenly, “If the innate god’s disciple wishes to protect the criminal, then so be it. King Geng may be a person with great strength but he lacks the requisite intelligence. He is nothing to worried about, but his crimes must not go unpunished. Fei He, heed my order.”
Realm Lord Hua was shocked and he quickly disagreed, “My lord! This traitor killed the top ten men of the Heaven Realm and the roots of Heaven Realm have been destroyed by him. He must be punished heavily….”
The Realm Monarch, however, shot him a cold glare and said, “You lost ten people and I lost a son. Even I have to yield to a certain extent, what else do you have to say now?”
Realm Lord Hua was left speechless and he bowed in acquiescence, “Yes, my lord.”
Then, another Heavenly King asked, “The prince may have died but his soul and spirit is probably in Hell right now. It’s just a matter of word if my lord wishes to….”
The Realm Monarch rejected this idea and he said, “What’s is the point of having him as my son if he can’t even take down a traitor? Let him be and let’s not make him my son anymore.”
Offer Fei He immediately returned to Inn of Heavenly Treasure and announced the Realm Monarch’s order, “Under the order of the Realm Monarch, traitor King Geng is to be executed publicly but after considering all he did for the realms and as the brother of the previous Realm Monarch, he will be spared but at the same time, he is to be imprisoned forever!”
After the order was announced, the many people within the Inn of Heavenly Treasure all looked at Zhong Yue in shock.
King Geng on the other hand, was cuffed and brought away by the two golden gods. He looked at Zhong Yue and said, “Brother Zhong Yue, I owe you one. If I escape imprisonment, I will return my debt! Please take care of my brothers over there for I owe them too much.”
Zhong Yue nodded and he said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of them for you first and when you return, I will return your brothers in perfect condition.”
“Do you think you can still return after being locked within the Abyss?” Officer Fei He snorted, “King Geng, don’t even dare to dream about it! You know what the Abyss is clearly and you are also familiar with the kind of characters locked in there! Ever since the Abyss was built, who else managed to escape apart from Creator He Lan? He only managed to escape with the help of some other traitors. And you, someone far weaker than Creator He Lan, I suppose I don’t have to remind you of your chances?”
Zhong Yue’s eyes twitched and when he looked at Bi and An, the brothers were looking at him as well and they both lowered their heads slightly.
King Geng, however, ignored Officer Fei He and shouted, “Heavenly King Lu, while I’m away, I need to you follow Brother Zhong Yue. He is my sworn brother and you can follow him without any worries!”
“Don’t worry, King Geng!”
Heavenly King Lu shouted back; he tried to widen his eyes to see clearly but that ultimately failed, “We will follow King Zhong Yue until your return and we will treat him as we would treat you!”
King Geng looked at Bi and An and the others again and he said, “I’ve wiped out those from the Heaven Realm for you guys. With my absence, I will have to hand over those little brats from the other realms to you now! Do not embarrass our Prison Realm!”
Li Tianxing immediately laughed and said confidently, “Don’t worry, we will annihilate them all!”
Yu Bochuan added, “If you stay here, you will be ahead of us and that is making me uneasy. But when you’re gone, I feel kinda empty and this is really weird.”
Jun Wudao on the other hand, reminded, “The Abyss is a dangerous place, stay safe.”
Then, King Geng was dragged away and after sending out a signal, Officer Fei He flew away and entered the Hell.
Zhong Yue and the others sighed as the strongest Qi Practitioner in the Six Path World, the Prison Realm had lost a great deal of power with his absence.
Everyone then returned to their own place and the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud followed behind Zhong Yue closely; similar to before, they continued to have their hands placed on the shoulders of those in front of them, something that garnered a not insignificant amount of attention.
The one-eyed old man was called Celestial Emperor Qian Shan since he could still see with one eye, he walked in front of his brothers while Heavenly King Lu was jabbed into the ground within Celestial Emperor Qian Shan’s secret realm like a stake.
Zhong Yue looked at them and he was very troubled as to how he should arrange them as although they might be gods and demonic gods, they are all crippled, making it very hard for Zhong Yue to deal with them.
“Human brat! Come and meet me!”
Just as Zhong Yue was having a headache to arrange Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud, a majestic aura emerged around him and the Realm Lord of Prison Realm came flying towards him and shouted, “That human brat! You! Get over here!”
Zhong Yue had no choice and when he walked into the palace of Realm Lord Fa, Fa Zhaozhen could be seen extremely frustrated and he shouted angrily, “I have already told you to stay low but look at what have you done! Do you think this is cool? Damn you! Do you think the Realm Monarch is someone with a good temper? If he gets angry, be it an innate god or not, he will kill both of us without even blinking eyes!”
Zhong Yue returned Fa Zhaozhen with a smile and when Fa Zhaozhen turned around, he had a scare when he saw Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud, “Shit! You even brought along eighteen gods to scare me! Do you think I am afraid of you? Dear senior martial brothers, please have a seat!”
He waved his hand and chairs appeared around him as he said politely, “Dear senior martial brothers, I was just venting and bore no ill intent. My little friend, Zhong Yue is very close to me. Just take a look, I was not even mad when he killed my son!”
Zhong Yue immediately got serious and he praised and thanked, “Realm Lord, you are really someone with a great temperament!”
Screw you , Thought Realm Lord Fa.
Chapter 703: Weaknesses |
Fa Zhaozhen was feeling extremely uneasy and secretly cursed in his heart to the fact that Zhong Yue actually brought eighteen celestial emperors and demon emperors to see him!
He recognized these eighteen celestial emperors and demon emperors and has seen them before. They were the famous Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud, each and everyone of them were battle-hardened experts that could easily hold the post of Realm Lords or even the Heavenly Kings in the Heaven Court!
Among them, Heavenly King Lu was the most powerful of all. He has cultivated to a stage just a hair’s breadth away from the level of Creator, and was much more powerful than Fa Zhaozhen.
Even though the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud were now crippled and their strengths greatly damaged, their cultivation level was still there and was definitely able to defeat him like a group of adults picking on a child.
I just want to talk to him and tell him not to stir any more troubles and yet this brat brought the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud to threaten me. What a freak, he isn’t willing to calm down and listen to a few words. And I still talked good about him in front of the Realm Monarch! Fa Zhaozhen whined in his heart.
Little did he know, he has wrongly accused of Zhong Yue. It wasn’t that Zhong Yue wanted to use the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud to threaten him, but the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud heeds to King Geng’s instructions and followed him closely all the time, not even Zhong Yue could stop them.
Zhong Yue was originally smiling and was planning to admit his mistake to Fa Zhaozhen. After all, he has brought many troubles to the Realm Lord and Zhong Yue too was feeling very apologetic. However, Zhong Yue didn’t expect Fa Zhaozhen to change his expression so fast.
Heavenly King Lu
said, “Realm Lord Fa, thank you for the covering King Zhong in front of the Realm Monarch. Realm Lord, you are also a good person, I admire you.”
Fa Zhaozhen’s face changed drastically and waved his hand quickly, “Please don’t say so, don’t say so! If you praise me as shameless, that I am scum, I will be very happy. But if you say that I am a good person, then you’d better off just kill me! You Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud are the most loyal men I’ve ever came across, and yet your ends are the worst I’ve ever known. I am unfaithful and unjust, despicable, shameless, and a thug but I live a luxurious life with countless beautiful wives. Do not put loyalty to the context as I am as it will only bring misfortunes upon me.”
Zhong Yue was stunned, he never knew loyalty and good deeds could be put in such a way, as a sign of tragedy?
“Realm Lord, now King Geng is no longer here with us. The rest of the nine Qi Practitioners may not be able to compete with the Qi Practitioners from the Earth Realm, Celestial Realm, Myriad Realm, and Elemental Realm.”
Zhong Yue thought and said, “I wonder if Realm Lord can give us some guidance?”
Fa Zhaozhen smiled, “How could I decline as your triumphs relates closely to my personal reputations? But why did you look for me when you have the best teachers just right beside you?”
Zhong Yue was surprised, he looked at the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud as he thought, They are already blind, can they still give us guidance? Can they still do better than Fa Zhaozhen?
Fa Zhaozhen conversed with him for another few moments and raised his cup of tea as a sign for them to leave.
Suddenly, he remembered that the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud couldn’t see and he inkled Zhong Yue to bring them away. Then, Zhong Yue left with the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud. It was quite a strange and awkward scene to look at as a group of blind men followed behind him.
