His form was so ruthless that even the [Daoless Heaven] from the Drum of Dusk failed to cancel his energy and Daos!
Bing Yin and Wu Chen flanked him, slammign onto the drums and unleashing massive power at Zhong Yue, impacting the ship greatly and melted Zhong Yue’s flesh.
At the same time, a divine saber made entirely of innate divine fire Dao slashed towards Bing Yin but another drum beat put out the flame right away!
But it was just the flame, not the saber itself; this divine saber’s exterior was made of innate divine fire Dao, but inside, it was still the innate Yi Dao.
Zheng—
The divine saber cut deep into Drum of Dusk and with another swing, Zhong Yue slashed the saber downwards, only to notice Wu Chen slamming the Drum of Dusk again while charging at him.
A head eerily grew out from Zhong Yue’s back, having Gu Yue’s face. Two arms grew out and saber appeared mysteriously in their grasp. The arms then swung the saber at Wu Chen.
Standing on the ancient ship, bearing a face at the front and the back, Zhong Yue stood his ground firmly against the two wardens!
Right now, Bing Yin and Wu Chen were in sorry states as Zhong Yue had the two harbinger of bad luck to deal with them; Creator Ji Yanfei and Deity Emperor Bai Canghai. They were two Innate Curse Spirit Bodies and had cursed the two before they attacked, causing them to attack each other.
Although it was just a hit, it had crippled the trio’s strength.
Luckily for them, thanks to the impressive power of Drum of Dusk, they had also managed to injure Bai Canghai and Ji Yanfei, forcing them to retreat.
The two wardens circled around the ancient ship and kept on beating the drum while Zhong Yue swung his sabers around ruthlessly.
The drums followed closely, constantly charging at the ship and throwing Zhong Yue off balance. Blood splattered everywhere, on the drums and the ship. Some of it was from the two wardens after being slashed by Zhong Yue, and some of it was from Zhong Yue after being struck by the Drum of Dusk’s attack.
From the ground to the air, skies to the space, they fought fiercely; the two wardens were not to be underestimated and today, they had truly revealed their strength, but Zhong Yue was even more terrifying!
By now, the Drum of Dusk was badly damaged after being cut by Zhong Yue.
Trying to overwhelm these drums through arts and energy was impossible, therefore, Zhong Yue used the fire spirits to suppress the drums with absolute power!
The fire spirits’ power was able to push him into a peak Imperial Emperor’s level. With that, his power was just as absurdly powerful as expected, but even so, he was still facing massive pressure from the two drums.
Hu hu hu—
Again and again, Zhong Yue rained down attacks onto the drums and each attack he landed right onto the same spot!
Underneath them, the war ended quickly, perhaps, it was more fitting to call it a one-sided massacre. After developing his power for hundreds of years, Zhong Yue had raised an enormous power that was able to stand off against Imperial Emperors like Realm Monarch Bo Luo, there were already 64 Creators on the same level as Realm Lords serving under him!
Let alone the numbers of Deity Emperors on the same level as Heavenly Kings that exceeded hundred!
The five Realm Monarchs, 20 Heavenly Kings and 28 Ream Lords were quickly defeated, killed or surrendered and there was a massive casualty among their soldiers!
Wei Shen Six Paths World had fallen entirely!
The many races in the Wei Shen Six Paths World all lowered their heads and went into hiding, fearing that they would be wiped out by these monsters.
For they all knew that the demon king Zhong Yue absolutely had the power to do so!
“Deity Emperors, stand down!”
Creator He Lan’s legs regenerated, ascended into the air along with the other Creators, charged into the outer skies, surrounded the battlefield and they’ve all frowned upon getting hold onto what was happening.
“We can’t even interfere in this battle, not even preventing these two wardens from escaping.”
They all struggled in their hearts as they were not able to interfere in this battle. If they decided to intercept the two wardens, their power and Daos would have been canceled out by the Drum of Dusk before they could even get close.
And if the wardens decided to escape, they wouldn’t have any methods of stopping them since none of their measures could withstand the Drum of Dusk’s power.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue’s battle with the two wardens intensified, each clash from the Drum of Dusk would shatter his Daos and melt his flesh away.
“Bring me my bow!”
A Creator shouted before he took over his divine bow presented by his men and he shouted, “Ladies and gentlemen, I require your assistance!”
Right away, the Creators revealed their true forms; there were dragons, ancient birds, and rock giants. They all channeled their power into helping this Creator draw the bow!
Zheng—
After the arrow and bow could no longer absorb anymore energy, the Creators released it towards the wardens. The bright arrow flew straight towards Bing Yin, splitting the river apart. But once the drum beat, the powerful arrow that was condensed with Creators’ power vanished before getting close.
The Creators all looked at each other in awe and disappointment upon this seeing this. It felt like the two wardens were protected by an invisible forcefield that would nullify all energy and arts!
“We can’t help!”
Creator He Lan shook his head while King Geng suggested, “If everyone could bring the Heavens here, perhaps I can suppress the two Heavenly Wardens with the Heavens’ galactic power.”
“Well said!”
The 64 Creators activated their Heavens, each filled with countless stars and with a deep breath, King Geng stirred the stars and moved it in his way, pulled out a star torrent from the Heavens and formed a gigantic whirlpool made of stars!
This was horrendous power condensed with the power of countless stars and this monstrous power even forced the Creators to back off.
With everything he had, King Geng pushed himself to the limit and with a loud movement, the whirlpool turned into a massive sword that was wung towards Wu Chen!
“Magnificient!”
The Creators were all in awe by the power of Innate Galaxy Spirit Body and right now, they had no choice but to admit that the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body was indeed the strongest Innate Spirit Body in this universe.
In this life, King Geng had reached peak Deity Overload level and he was half a foot into the Deity Emperor level. By then, with the ability to control the Heavens’ galactic power, King Geng’s attack would be extremely powerful even to them!
Yet, Wu Chen did not even give the attack a look. He waited for the star sword to get close and with a swing, the Drum of Dusk took the star sword head on. In the next second, the seemingly overwhelming star sword was shattered by the Drum of Dusk!
King Geng stuttered upon this scene and he was greatly despondent by the result. This was the strongest attack he could deliver with the support of the Heavens. In normal times, his attack was thousand folds weaker than this attack. But even so, such a massive attack did no harm towards the wardens. He could only imagine the pressure that Zhong Yue was facing as he stood against the two wardens alone!
This little god brother of mine… His capabilities had exceeded mine. I have no hope of catching up anymore.
King Geng sighed as he lamented.
The others were also all out of cards. While they were all the strongest in the lower realms, they were nothing against the wardens.
If they were to stand against the wardens, they would’ve been killed in just one strike!
Suddenly, Creator He Lan suggested, “King Geng, what if you move an entire planet and slam it towards the two wardens? Maybe this will have some effect.”
King Geng’s eyes lit up, the drums were able to cancel and nullify all Daos and arts but they had nothing on solid attacks.
As an Innate Galaxy Spirit Body, gathering the star power and using a planet to attack was not a problem for him.
Without hesitation, King Geng wrapped his star power around a planet and hurled it towards Bing Yin. But with a drum beat, the planet shattered into dust, just like their previous attacks!
Everyone was shocked and left mindless.
At the same time, am earth shattering sound was heard as Bing Yin’s Drum of Dusk was sliced apart by Zhong Yue!
Decisively, Bing Yin flew towards Wu Chen but before he could even land on Wu Chen’s Drum of Dusk, his head detached from his neck, the Yuan Shen in his body was also decapitated, killing him in an instant!
On the same second, there was no more flesh on Zhong Yue’s body for not even his immortal body was able to keep up. After being impacted by Drum of Dusk again and again, only his skeleton remained.
Wu Chen, on the other hand, was not affected by his companions’ death, he had shown no sign of sadness, anger, remorse and fear. But instead, he fearlessly charged at Zhong Yue again!
The scene was so intense that even King Geng and the others frowned. At this point, there was no longer a reason for Wu Chen to continue fighting, logically, he should be retreating now. But it was as if he did not even care about his own safety and continued putting up a fight like a robot.
The will he displayed was truly admirable but suicidal at the same time.
He appeared more like a war machine instead of a real living being.
With Wu Chen’s strength, King Geng and the others would definitely fail to keep him and with Zhong Yue’s current situation, it remained a mystery if he could stop Wu Chen from running.
Suddenly, the Drum of Dusk under Wu Chen’s feet shattered and while staring right at the approaching saber, there was still no emotion in him and he said, “We may have lost to you but many more will come after you. We will be on a hunt for you, we will haunt you eternally until your death!”
“Too bad you won’t live to see it!”
As Zhong Yue turned around and sheathed his divine sabers, Wu Chen’s head fell off from his neck.
All of a sudden, a noise came from Wu Chen’s forehead before a golden light shot out, Zhong Yue immediately tried to catch it but just as he moved his hands, his body collapsed and the light slipped away!
King Geng, Creator He Lan and the others were quick enough to react but with another rumble coming from the golden light, the Creators were all sent flying away.
“What is that!” shouted a Creator.
Chapter 1030: Unintentionally |
In the blink of an eye, the golden light split the skies apart and vanished.
On the ancient ship, Zhong Yue’s flesh crawled around, his bones regrew, but he did not look good. Even after borrowing power from the fire spirits and merging back with his previous body, he was still badly injured.
Besides, the golden light made him feeling uneasy as well.
The reason he chose to fight here was because he had a massive power in the 3,000 Six Paths World that even Realm Monarch Bo Luo couldn’t do anything to him!
Besides, he was forced to cower inside his own world by Si Ming, which also meant that Zhong Yue was able to prevent everything that happened from leaking out.
But this unknown golden light pierced through the encirclement of the many Creators, and judging from the direction it headed, it was headed straight to Zi Wei Galaxy. If his cover were to be blown, then he would no longer be able to return to Zi Wei as Mister Yi!
By then, the powerbase he worked hard to build would all becomed dust.
Suddenly, the fire spirit leader’s voice sounded in Zhong Yue’s mind with slight disappointment, “That is our contract with Heaven, shame that it slipped past us just like that. The Heavenly Wardens will be able to track us down with this contract and punish us for breaking the agreement.”
“The fire spirit contract? I thought it was his spirit that ran away …”
Zhong Yue soon let out a relieved breath only to get nervous again, “But the contract can be problematic, I have to retrieve this contract or I will still be hunted by the Heavenly Wardens, which would also blow my cover!”
But given his serious injuries, he could no longer activate the ship, leaving him unable to catch up with to the golden light.
“Lock down Wei Shen Six Paths Worlds,” ordered Zhong Yue as he held himself.
King Geng, Creator He Lan and the others descended into the Heaven Realm, destroyed all portals that could enter the other Six Paths Worlds before entering the Heaven Court and demolishing them. After that, they swarmed into Hell’s Reincarnation, took over and Zhong Yue said, “Second brother, you are the previous Realm Monarch’s younger brother, if you become the Realm Monarch, the six Realms would be willing to bow to you.”
After settling everything, Zhong Yue smiled towards King Geng, “From now on, you will become Realm Monarch Changgeng and lead the Wei Shen Six Paths World.”
King Geng burst out laughing, “In Tuo Shan Six Paths World, I am being tasked with heavy responsibilities by Realm Monarch Chang Ming, he treated me nicely so I still have to return to his world to help him.”
Zhong Yue shook his head, “Realm Monarch Chang Ming is my brother, a previous Fuxi and now a member of the Du Mu Celestial Race. 100,000 years ago, we were from the same clan.”
King Geng was caught off guard by this revelation, he heard rumours about Zhong Yue and Realm Monarch Chang Ming calling each other brothers and he suspected this but now, he finally confirmed his theory after Zhong Yue confirmed it.
In Tuo Shan Six Paths World, he was really favoured by the Realm Monarch and from the looks of it, this was all because of Zhong Yue.
“Bah, it’s better to rule than serve, I guess.”
King Geng smiled, “My life is yours and I had my revenge because of your help. From now on, I will be managing Wei Shen Six Paths World for you, you are the real master of Wei Shen Six Paths World!”
Zhong Yue shook his head, “You’ve underestimated yourself, heh, you have no idea how powerful the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body is. Once you get to know the seventh secret realm, you will finally know how strong you can become.”
“Seventh secret realm? Is there even such a thing?” murmured a puzzled King Geng.
“I will tell you about it, but first, you have to deal with the mess in the Wei Shen Six Paths World.” smiled Zhong Yue.
King Geng then led the gods into Heaven court, gathered the Heaven, Earth, Celestial, Elemental, Myriad and Prison Realm’s Dharma Kings, Heavenly Kings, and the leaders of all races to Heaven Court to prepare for the enthrone ceremony.
With that, Realm Monarch Changgeng enthroned and became Wei Shen Six Paths World’s Realm Monarch.
Zhong Yue then slowly treated his wounds and after fully recovering, he split Gu Yue out from him again.
When he merged with Gu Yue, whatever this past body experienced were all printed right into his mind.
Throughout these years, Gu Yue encountered countless assassinations and crises. And each step he took was taken with extreme caution and guile.
Four hundred years ago, when he fought back against Lei Zhe Six Paths World with his forces, the Leizhe Celestial Race’s old clan master passed away and Gu Yue suppressed all the fake Leizhe Celestial Race, ambushed and wiped out the Realm Monarch and his traitorous men before enthroning the true Leizhe Celestial Race’s people.
Three hundred years ago, when Zi Wei sent an army to kill him, Gu Yue bathed himself in his own blood and blood of countless enemies.
Two hundred years ago, he wiped out the army from the Zi Wei Galaxy, working with Consort Tian Si, unleashing a massacre upon 3,000 Six Paths World and stirring chaos everywhere.
Even though Gu Yue was now part of him, Zhong Yue was still feeling what Gu Yue had felt during those times.
After their memories fully merged, Zhong Yue said calmly, “In the future, I might need you to die in my place.”
Gu Yue, who sat right in front of him smiled, “I am the past you, as long as you are alive, I live. So what is the matter of dying once?”
Zhong Yue nodded and took out the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror and said, “I can’t stay here for long, you will have to take care of them for me.”
Gu Yue took over the mirror and with a flick of his mind, Old Man Six Paths, Shi Buyi and the others were released from the mirror and Zhong Yue smiled, “Big lion, come with me!”
Shi Buyi bowed and Zhong Yue nodded before Gu Yue handed a leaf to Zhong Yue and left with the others.
Zhong Yue examined the leaf before keeping it away. It was something he stole from Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s treasury, an innate leaf and he handed over to Gu Yue when he left 3,000 Six Paths World but nothing was discovered.
After that, Zhong Yue closed his eyes and started checking his condition. Throughout the recovery period, he had cultivated the [Immortal Divine Psyche] to the seventh level and he was right at the cusp of entering the eighth level. If his psyche reached the eighth level, it would be the strongest in the world below the monarch level!
“The Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarchs had focused on different aspect throughout the years, the psyche, divine eye, spine or serpent tail.”
Xin Huo thought for a while and continued, “There are also the divine heart, Dao voices, and many more. If you can gather all these arts and merge them into a new art, does this mean that you will have all the strengths of these monarchs? Maybe you will become invincible.”
Although he was very intrigued by this prospect, Zhong Yue maintained his composure. He smiled, “Is that even possible? Did you forget what happened when I tried to merge the four monarch level arts into one? How many monarchs’ wisdom and intelligence did I have to borrow, not to mention the Tian Pan? I might need the aid of more than hundreds of monarchs if I want to merge every single Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarch art into one! This is literally impossible, there are not that many monarchs in this world either.”
The monarchs of the Fuxi Celestial Race had reached the pinnacle in the arts they cultivated. Just how difficult would it be to to fuse them all together?
