And upon catching Zhong Yue’s gaze, Demon Monarch Yang Hou turned around and nodded towards Zhong Yue
Zhong Yue returned with a bow, Demon Monarch Yang Hou may be from a different faction but this monarch was much different from the others, his behaviour was admirable and he was quite fond of Zhong Yue. Demon Monarch Yang Hou was also one of the present monarchs when Zhong Yue borrowed the monarchs’ strength to merge the four monarch level art to improve [Innate Eight Trigrams].
Not far away from this demon monarch was Celestial Monarch Jin Wu himself. Whereas has Celestial Monarch Jin Wu received the support of Innate Celestial Monarch or not, Zhong Yue did not know, but as one who controlled Fusang Divine Tree, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was definitely related to Great Sui, after all, this tree was once Great Sui’s spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
Besides, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was a trusted friend and ally of Hundun Clan, he risked his life when he investigated the truth behind the end of Earth Order Era and by this alone, Zhong Yue theorized that he was not supported by Innate Celestial Monarch, instead, Innate Celestial Monarch must have played a role behind the incident that almost killed Celestial Monarch Jin Wu.
“Jinwu Clan’s son in law, come here.” smiled Celestial Monarch Jin Wu.
Zhong Yue sailed towards him and he saw Monarch Chang Sheng, the saint herb of Dao Venerate Fu Min that became a monarch. As always, this monarch appeared to be steady and calm as if he had little to no interest in the war.
The seven monarchs taking part in the war for fate back then were all present, apart from them, there was also Monarch Yang Zun, totalling to eight great monarchs. Aside from these monarchs, Zhong Yue also saw the leaders of the many monarch races.
There were also powerful Imperial Emperors that belonged to neither of these races, which suggested they were from the king race!
These king races too, were unwilling to sit aside as the war broke up, they were seeking a chance that allow them to ascend as a monarch and squeeze into the ranks of sovereign races!
Zhong Yue looked around and he thought, only to be disturbed by Celestial Monarch Jin Wu who asked, “What do you think?”
Zhong Yue answered, “I’m thinking that whose hands are holding the Tree of Life right now, this monarch who acquired the tree only used it once up until now and he has yet to reveal himself, who is he?”
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s vision shifted from the many other monarchs as he spoke, “This must be a very clever one, he knows just how precious this tree is. When the monarchs were battling each other, their attacks did not even hurt the ancient tree at all, not even Mister Bi Luo’s Tian Fa could gain the upperhand against the tree! That tree’s strength is above most of the monarch weapons! This monarch who has his hands on the ancient tree is chasing after something big and he is, clearly very keen on sitting on that throne!”
Zhong Yue looked towards Heavenly River, where the monarch battle was about to take place, Heavenly Di Ming and Mu Xiantian stood against each other. They had yet to fight each other but around them, Daos danced around, like a rainbow, a soaring dragon, a dashing sword light, a divine pillar, slamming against each other.
Zhong Yue’s heart beat quickly upon seeing this, he thought the two monarchs were already engaged in a ferocious battle when he encountered so many abnormalities on the river, but now, it seemed like everything was caused only by the clashing of their Daos!
“Where is Queen Goddess?”
Zhong Yue shifted his vision away and begun looking for Queen Goddess, who was another formidable existence. This lady monarch who stood below one god and above all else was now standing at the other end of Heavenly River, assisting her husband by helping him suppress Mu Xiantian.
The marriage of Di Ming and Queen Goddess had bound them together, she was Di Ming’s hope to defeat Mu Xiantian. If they both achieved the seventh secret realm, Mu Xiantian would be in grave danger.
Zhong Yue thought, Even if he hid his innate sacred ground away, escaped King Shen Wuwei detection, the best he can hope for is survive, winning will no longer be within his grasp. So… what is Mu Xiantian relying on? Is he the one that stole the Tree of Life?
As Zhong Yue thought, the seventh light wheel emerged from the back of Mu Xiantian’s head, Seven Paths Reincarnation erupted right away and this innate god started emitting dangerous and ruthless presence. This innate god was clearly not giving Di Ming the time he needed in this battle once the Seven Paths Reincarnation was activated!
This was because of the immature Seven Paths Reincarnation system that resulted in the inability to keep it running for prolonged period!
Zhong Yue cleared his mind and stopped looking around immediately, for this battle was definitely a swift yet interesting one!
The Heavenly River rumbled along with the Seven Paths Reincarnation, dust flew everywhere and fell into his Seven Paths Reincarnation, forming the real stars and turning his light wheels into powerful star rivers!
On the other hand, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming vanished from his position right when the seventh secret realm was unleashed, he dashed towards Mu Xiantian with lightning speed, leaving behind flower petals as he moved, Dao flowers ascended from the river and blossomed rapidly, turning into one after another Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s!
“[Million Monarchs Daos]!”
The many Heavenly Monarch Di Ming let out a battlecry and the Di Ming in the Dao flowers turned into Daos.
This gave Zhong Yue a shock, but the next second later, the heaven and earth Daos soared, came surging from all directions and attached to the countless Di Ming!
These Di Ming within the Dao flowers were not in the monarch level, but they were similarly strong as Imperial Emperors, hence, forcefully using the Dao level mentality would put them at risk of being converted by Dao. Zhong Yue was very curious at this move, he simply didn’t understand why Heavenly Monarch Di Ming had himself in the Dao flowers to be converted, what was this move?
The Daos synchronized with the numerous Di Ming’s in the flowers, becoming one together, equivalent to thousands and thousands of Imperial Emperors turning into Daos at once, creating a marvelous scene Zhong Yue had never seen!
Hold up! This is a formation!
Zhong Yue quickly noticed something strange, the countless Di Ming in the Dao flowers had formed an alluring formation. Though their bodies were converted and consumed by Daos, this formation managed to lock the Daos in it, preventing them from consuming the Di Ming whole!
He once saw this formation from Princess Wenyue, she cultivated a world of flower and formed this formation with clones turned from the flowers. But compared to Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, however, what Princess Wenyue performed was mere child’s play!
Impressive!
Zhong Yue grunted before the pressure emitted from the monarchs’ presence, forcing him to resist it with full strength!
The monarchs’ might, was even stronger than Qing He, Chang Sheng and the other monarchs!
The Di Ming all started casting a spell and when this attack was launched, the flowers writhed and they too, started aging quickly. Their life drained away by this spell and they turned into skeletons before turning into dust!
With one attack, they all died in an instant and this was once again, out of Zhong Yue’s expectations.
As for the attacks, they all turned into a torrent, gathered in the air and like parts, they assembled together and turned into another attack!
That strong?
Zhong Yue’s heart thumped, these Imperial Emperors triggered the Daos and at the cost of death, they launched the strongest attack they could deliver. But this attack was, in fact, just a part of another stronger attack!
This was Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s spell, and also an unrivalled move he used to suppress this era!
Chapter 1146: Mysteries |
This spell was derived from the Six Paths Reincarnation, with his current level, Zhong Yue was able to peek into the logic behind this spell; each and every o
ne of these Dao flowers was the Six Paths Reincarnation, a Heaven that differed from the common Heavens and Reincarnations.
The Six Paths Reincarnation was complicated, even paragons like Evil Monarch and Yuan Ya were unable to completely learn the secrets and wonders it possessed. The one who truly understood Six Paths Reincarnation was Dao Venerate Fu Min. With just the Six Paths Reincarnation alone, he stood above all beings, undefeatable and instilled fear to all existences. He, who stood on the same level as Dao Gods, sat above Heaven, was given the honorable title of Dao Venerate.
However, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming over here had developed an extreme wonder of Six Paths Reincarnation, the Reincarnation Dao Body.
His Dao flowers were a flower a world, a flower a reincarnation, from the reincarnation of these flowers would only birth a Dao body, a body made of his own Daos that slowly grew in the flowers, created by himself.
And with the endless flowers, he gave birth to endless Dao bodies!
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s arts were from Evil Monarch but he did not receive the quintessences teaching from Evil Monarch. He was not taught the complete [Evil Tome] by Evil Monarch but instead, he broke himself free from the limitations of [Evil Tome] and walked a new path he created.
This art of his, the countless Di Ming’s attack turned into an indestructible sword, a sword held only by the ruler of this universe, sword of the Heavenly Monarch, splitting the Heavenly River apart with only one swing!
Just as he moved, Queen Goddess standing on the other side moved right at. She too, was a powerful one, both having entered the monarch level for a very long time, the condensation of their energy was perhaps, even greater than Mu Xiantian!
Queen Goddess’s Yuan Shen flew out from her back, the gigantic Yuan Shen yielded a bow and she started showering Mu Xiantian with a rain of arrows while plunging towards Mu Xiantian; with her hands as wings, she circled around Mu Xiantian like a bird.
While Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s sword struck celestials and demons with ease, Queen Goddess maneuvering swiftly and shiftily, making up for the lack of technique in Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s raw strength.
Too sturdy and one would break easily, hence, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was only complete with Queen Goddess. Her mobility and flexibility and his brute strength formed a perfect pair.
Besides, after having been married for such a long time, the synergy between the two was beyond incredible, especially when Queen Goddess’s attacks were oddly perfect, covering Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s shortcomings each time she delivered an attack, easing her husband’s burden in his fight!
She was not as strong as Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, and her burst was not as great. But every time, she compensated Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s imperfections!
“Di Ming, sister, it seems like you have yet to achieve the seventh secret realm and learn the wonders of Seven Paths Reincarnation.”
With his right palm raised up, Mu Xiantian waited for the incoming monarch sword, in his palm was the activated Seven Paths Reincarnation, weapons were unnecessary as his body was his best monarch weapon!
Keng, keng, keng—
The monarch sword started shattering joint by joint upon touching Mu Xiantian’s palm!
“Brace yourself,” warned Celestial Monarch Jin Wu towards Zhong Yue.
A second later, an enormous shockwave erupted, laying waste to everything it touched; this shockwave created by the exchange flipped the dust into the air and before they could turn into stars, they were already reduced to dust again!
Around the river, the many monarchs were caught off guard, their Six Paths Reincarnation trembled before the rumbling, and the thousand pairs of wings of the ancient ship were blown aside!
Bo bo bo—
Like the monarchs, the light wheels behind Zhong Yue’s head started dimming down, the light wavered before the terrifying might.
Weng weng weng—
Realizing that this shockwave was something that shook even the monarchs, Zhong Yue revealed his seven great secret realms, the Space Seven Daos started operating and shifting the destructive shockwave into the dimensions behind his back; even so, his body and Yuan Shen were almost destroyed by this shockwave and his body could disintegrate anytime soon!
“You managed to hold your ground against this terrifying might, not bad.”
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu praised as he stared into Zhong Yue’s eyes, “So my choice was not wrong one.”
As for Zhong Yue, he did not say a word, the blood almost got rocked out from his body, if he opened his mouth, the blood would start gushing out.
With a smile, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu covered Zhong Yue’s with his Six Paths Reincarnation.
The reason he did not help Zhong Yue was because he was curious, eager to know how much Zhong Yue had grown throughout this time. Though the young man only managed to withstand a wave and showed no more spare strength to defend himself to a second wave, the monarch couldn’t be any more satisfied.
The water flow in the river temporarily got severed and a second later, a horrendous torrent came surging again.
Hair as sharp as swords were swung out by Mu Xiantian, splitting the arrows half as he continued charging towards Di Ming as he ignored Queen Goddess.
The Seven Paths Reincarnation had bestowed him with tremendous power; strength he displayed shook even someone like Demon Monarch Yang Hou.
The seventh secret realm developed by Mu Xiantian was distinct. Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s was the Origin Demon Secret Realm, an advanced secret realm that allowed him to fully utilize the power of an innate demon god.
He thought he had achieved a perfect level in all demonic secret realms in him, but he realized that he was still far from such a level upon witnessing Mu Xiantian’s.
Compared to his, Mu Xiantian’s seventh secret realm looked like the truly authentic Origin Demon Secret Realm, infused with the transformation of Yin and Yang while Demon Monarch Yang Hou was more like a Yang Demon Secret Realm.
He and Celestial Monarch Jin Wu were born corresponding to each other, one birthed in the Valley of Tang and the other in the Valley of Xi. Yang Hou was the second innate god from Valley of Xi, which restricted his achievements, allowing him to only be able to detect the Yang-elemented demon secret realms in him and entirely neglecting the Yin-elemented demon secret realms.
He thought he had achieved all demonic Daos’ secret realm, but in truth, he achieved no more than half of them.
And now, he finally understood what he lacked after witnessing Mu Xiantian.
Seems like my Origin Demon Secret Realm needs to be renamed.
Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s eyes twitched, No wonder Mu Xiantian is the last innate god birthed innately, his starting point is superior than mine from every aspect.
Given Mu Xiantian’s overwhelming demonic traits right now, his attacks became abnormally ruthless and brutal. Origin Demon Secret Realm and Six Paths Reincarnation fused into Seven Paths Reincarnation and with unstoppable strength, a punch was delivered, sending Queen Goddess flying away. When Heavenly Monarch Di Ming came to assist his queen, a cut was left on his chest after a few exchanges. With his hand acting like a sword, Mu Xiantian almost ripped Di Ming’s chest apart!
Even when the two monarchs teamed up, they failed to gain an upper hand and instead, they were met with grave danger.
All of a sudden, Di Ming and Queen Goddess backed off, and the seventh light wheel emerged behind their head.
Zhong Yue’s heart sank slightly for this finally happened, Di Ming and Queen Goddess exploited the pressure coming from Mu Xiantian to achieve the seventh secret realm. This was the final battle, if they lost, not only would they lose everything they worked so hard for, they would even be killed! Such pressure was surely sufficient to drive the two monarchs into pushing their limits to achieve the seventh secret realm.
Once these two achieved the seventh secret realm, would Mu Xiantian still stand a chance against them?
Di Ming’s seventh sec
ret realm is Extreme Evil Dao Realm and Queen Goddess’s…
Zhong Yue was a little puzzled, for Queen Goddess’s seventh secret realm gave Zhong Yue a very familiar feeling. The energy spiking in the secret realm even resonated with his own Daos!
Mountain River Secret Realm?
Zhong Yue was stunned for a second, the [Innate Eight Trigrams]’s Innate Mountain Dao bore a unique bond between Queen Goddess’s seventh secret realm. Queen Goddess’s secret realm was a mountain and a canyon made of stars, this was the display of mastering the Innate Mountain Dao!
Is the one standing behind Queen Goddess really Yuan Ya Deity King?
His heart thumped quickly, Yuan Ya Deity King was behind Queen Goddess, and behind Di Ming was Innate Evil Monarch. There was this fog blurring the relationship between the two ancient Deity Kings and Zhong Yue was puzzled.
Could it be that the two had reached an agreement? Then was it Queen Goddess that stole the Tree of Life? No, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming definitely knows nothing about this, he even tried to get his hands on the tree, what is the relationship between him and Queen Goddess?
As soon as he thought of this, the two monarchs who achieved seventh secret realm launched a joint attack. With the surge in their strength, these two overwhelmed Mu Xiantian with ease.
Mu Xiantian was injured!
Queen Goddess and Di Ming came charging again, but this time, behind Mu Xiantian now stood a figure and Zhong Yue jumped out in immense shock!
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was now behind Mu Xiantian, his seven light wheels spread out equally. Now, there were two Mu Xiantians, one was the celestial among the celestials and the other demon among the demons!
They looked exactly the same, bearing striking resemblance, but one was friendly and gentle while the other one was savagely violent and furious!
These two Mu Xiantian started shifting positions quickly, dashing around the river and stomping their ways towards Di King and Queen Goddess. As one person with two bodies, the two Mu Xiantian knew what each other was thinking in their mind, displaying a synergy superior than Di Ming and Queen Goddess!
