Feng Wuji replied, “Worry not, I will do my best in helping you Heavenly Fire Barren Region to obtain the Fuxi Celestial Race’s treasures!”
“Let’s go.”
The female Imperial Emperor, Feng Yulan, took the lead and as she walked towards the stone tablet, she said, “Look anywhere but the stone tablet! This tablet has the inscriptions of Fu Min Dao Venerate, the word “death” in the Dao language! Any glimpse at the stone tablet will cost you your life!”
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue frowned as he watched this new force walk into the dimension, Heavenly Fire Barren Region? The Deity King that controls the heavenly fire?
“The one in the Heavenly Fire Barren Region is called Origin Lord Feng Tian, also a Deity King from the Dark Age.”
Hundun Yu said, “From I’ve heard from the old ancestor, she is the first innate phoenix in this universe. She resides on a parasol tree in Heavenly Fire Barren Region. These guys must be under her command.”
Zhong Yue nodded, “Never thought that these old monsters would show up.”
Without a sign, another force made their entrance. This time, it was merely three little Daoist children, wherever they passed, the light would be swallowed. The three children continued walking towards the stone tablet.
“Are they….”
Hundun Yu’s expression changed slightly and said, “Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s junior martial brothers!”
“The evil being’s disciples?”
Zhong Yue was in shock, but that did not stop the three children from continuing what they were doing. As they passed the stone tablet, the darkness around them engulfed even the stone tablet and the light illuminated by the words on the tablet.
“Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s origins are no joke, my old ancestor said that his teacher is a terrifying expert. When the first strand of light appeared in the universe, what came along was the first strand of darkness. His teacher is born within this darkness!”
Hundun Yu said, “This one is called the Innate Dark Monarch, and he is equally powerful as the Evil Monarch. I never thought that he would send his disciples!”
“Innate Dark Monarch?”
Zhong Yue remembered this name in his heart but that was when another force appeared, they too, walked towards the stone tablet. There were not many of them but each and every one of them was all incredibly strong.
“They are the Zi Wei’s North Barren Region’s Primordial Crow Deity King?”
Hundun Yu was in awe, “So lively! All the powerful existences’ disciples are all here, how disgusting….”
“They are in already, aren’t they?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded and a few terrifyingly evil gods appeared and one of them smiled. “That is the Ancestral Court of the Fuxi Celestial Race and Yanzi Clan, dangers lurk everywhere in this place, let’s have these idiots to scout for us first!”
Chapter 1034: Cataclysmic Realm |
“Evil Monarch’s disciples? I thought they are already here long ago?”
A confused Shi Yinji asked, “Those guys that died before the stone tablet, aren’t they Evil Monarch’s disciples?”
“No, they aren’t, they are merely his pawns.”
Hundun Yu explained, “Those that died just now are gods that worship Evil Monarch, his disciples are much stronger than them, every one of them is not any weaker than Zhu Xie!”
“Is Zhu Xie very strong then?” asked Shi Yinji again.
Hundun Yu hesitated for a second but decided to be honest, “Killed by your husband.”
“Eh? So he is weak then,” replied a surprised Shi Yinji.
On the other hand, Zhong Yue asked, “Senior Martial Brother Yu, how much do you know about these people?”
“You mean Evil Monarch, Demon Monarch, Celestial Monarch, and the other Deity Kings?” replied Hundun Yu, “I know little about them, all I know is what I’ve heard from the old ancestor, he probably knows much more.”
Zhong Yue’s heart tightened as he knew that the Hundun Clan did not know much more, but in fact, he knew everything!
The Hundun Clan definitely knows all the secrets in this universe, maybe I could even learn more about my enemies from them.
The Evil Monarch’s disciples walked onto the altar and waited for a few days before they kept the bottles away and walked towards the stone tablet right into the Ancestral Court.
With the jade bottles kept away, the dimension split apart by the bottles slowly closed back up.
“Mister Yi, this is our last chance!” said a nervous Hundun Yu.
“Wait!”
Zhong Yue was, however, not nervous at all and he watched as the dimension slowly closed up. Moments later, just as the dimension was about to recover, a comet split the skies apart and charged into the dimension that was about to close.
“I knew it! But who is this?”
Zhong Yue smiled, “Senior Martial Brother Yu, any idea?”
Hundun Yu shook his head right away and without any more delays, Zhong Yue sailed the ancient ship into the dimension before it closed, passed the stone tablet and entered the Ancestral Court.
“How relaxing!”
As soon as he entered this place, he felt like he had returned to his mother’s hug, each and every single part of him was madly absorbing the spiritual power in this place!
This was the Fuxi Celestial Race and Yanzi Clan’s Ancestral Court and as their descendant, Zhong Yue’s bloodline was extremely compatible with the heaven and earth’s Daos here, him entering this place was just like a fish entering the water once again!
The Ancestral Court was built by Great Sui and it was just a level below the innate sacred grounds like Lei Zhe and Huaxu’s, bestowing this place with energy most compatible with the Fuxi Celestial Race and the Yanzi Clan.
As the feeling intensified, so did his presence, the energy in this place surged into him, and bright light pillars emerged from the air along with Dao languages that echoed right into his body.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue clearly felt that his strength was being raised tremendously and he was very happy, but also calm at the same time. It was as if his body and mind had merged with the heaven and earth.
On the ancient ship, Hundun Yu and Shi Yinji looked at Zhong Yue in shock for the man before them had uncontrollably revealed his Fuxi True Form, his body majestically enlarged and his strength elevated to terrifying levels.
But such absurdly an powerful increase did not bring them joy and happiness for Zhong Yue but unease!
In the heaven and earth, Zhong Yue became shrouded in a divine light. It triggered his mortal body, Yuan Shen, and Daos that gave the onlookers a very grave sensation.
The ridiculous surge in his power had also brought him right into the Deity Overlord level!
“Mister Yi! Wake up!”
Hundun Yu who realized something shivered and shouted, “You are now in Deity Overlord level’s Cataclysmic Realm, you are assimilating into the Dao!”
Yet, his words fell onto deaf ears as Zhong Yue heard nothing. His divine third eye emerged, and the innate draconic scale reflected the divine light into the air and formed the word “Dao”, making the Daos in this place to become even clearer and turned them into light.
Far away, Mo Yuanshu, Shen Qiushan and the others who had already progressed deep into the Ancestral Court felt a rumble coming from the heaven and earth’s Daos.
Is someone entering the monarch level right here? No, the intensity of Daos here are not as strong as the intensity of Dao when an Imperial Emperor level into the monarch level.
They looked towards Zhong Yue’s direction and all they saw was Dao light that covered an entire area.
“Perhaps it’s some treasures that revealed themselves?”
Mo Yuanshu was surprised and he murmured, “No, this is the light when someone is assimilating into the Dao!”
“Is this caused by the Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarch weapon?”
Shen Qiushan also looked towards the same direction and after realizing what was happening, he shook, “Someone is assimilating, pity.”
“Mister Wuji, you have both Fuxi Celestial Race and Panhu Clan’s divine eyes, why don’t you take a look?” suggested Feng Mingshan on the other side.
Eyes emerged in Feng Wuji’s three foreheads, the ones at the left and right head were the Panhu Clan’s divine eye while the middle head was Fuxi Celestial Race’s.
With the eyes opened, Feng Wuji’s vision pierced through the dimensions but couldn’t see past the Dao light, giving him only a vague view of the thousand winged ancient ship that was covered in the light.
Upon seeing this ship, Feng Wuji was stunned and he murmured, “He’s here as well? Shouldn’t he be in Heaven Suppression Fortress by now? From the looks of this, this fool is turning into Dao and it will take no time until he is assimilated by the heaven and earth’s Daos and lose his life.”
After that, he retracted his vision and said, “This is Xian Tian Palace’s Mister Yi that is assimilating into Dao.”
“Hmm?”
Feng Mingshan was caught off guard by this answer and he said, “So Mister Yi’s mentality level had reached the monarch level? Heh, I have to admit that he is far more talented than me.”
“Shame that he is turning into Dao now.”
Feng Yulan shook and sighed, “I heard about him from my teacher, he had lifted the Fuxi Celestial Race’s bloodline seal but his mentality is incongruous to his current cultivation, which is incredibly dangerous. Without a matching strength, it is very easy for one to lose his mind recklessly. If he isn’t careful enough, he would be converted into Dao.”
With her vast knowledge, she explained, “If this were some other place, he would be able to suppress his mentality, but this is the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court. The resonance between his bloodline and the heaven and earth Daos here will ironically spell his doom.”
She continued, “I once heard that he is still in the True Deity level, what is happening right now will push him into the Deity Overlord level and this level is also called the Cataclysmic Realm. The Cataclysmic Realm exists because of cultivation is against the nature of heaven and earth as one is robbing the heaven and earth’s power and taking it as their own. The more talented this person is, the more dangerous the Cataclysmic Realm would become. With the addition of Cataclysmic Realm and the Dao Assimilation, he is dead for sure!”
Feng Wuji was extremely happy in his heart and he said, “Shame.”
Feng Mingshan also sighed and with mixed emotions, he said softly, “What a pity, I wanted to challenge him and see who is the strongest in the Board of Future Monarchs.”
On the ancient ship, Shi Yinji hurled her whip onto Zhong Yue, attempting to sever the light formed by Daos but to her horror, the whip in her hands shattered into dust upon contact.
But she did not stop trying to find ways to help Zhong Yue. She recklessly tried to pull Zhong Yue out with her bare hands, only to have her stunned by the Daos light and she felt like she was also beginning to assimilate.
On the other hand, Hundun Yu activated his chaotic power to sever the light and he also faced the same situation when he tried to grab Zhong Yue after his chaotic power faded before the light.
“Zhong Yue, wake up!”
Xin Huo shouted worriedly, “Wake up now! Your wife and Brat Yu are also being converted now!”
Meanwhile, the Daos light in Zhong Yue’s eyes intensified, his body and Yuan Shen turned transparent gradually and he was about to become part of the light already!
All of these happened meant that his body and Yuan Shen were being disintegrated and absorbed by the Daos. The final merging meant only one result, death!
When the mentality far surpassed one’s actual strength, the person would lose control of his mentality and this was the consequence; a little dwelling into the Daos would risk being converted by Daos.
Hence, whenever a monarch level existence was to reborn, he would seal away his memories so that he would not awaken the previous life’s mentality lest something like this happened.
Only by reaching a higher level that was strong enough to handle it would a reborn monarch lift the seal.
As for Zhong Yue, his mentality had reached the monarch level even when he was in the Deity Overlord level, which was four realms below the monarch level. His sensitivity towards the Daos was extremely sharp, but his cultivation could not accommodate such sensitivity.
While the monarch mentality gave him a rapid increase in his strength, bestowing him a cultivation speed far beyond others, he also had to bear risks far greater in return!
And now, as Shi Yinji and Hundun Yu grabbed onto him, they were facing the same risk he was bearing. They both experienced what he experienced, and their cultivation level increased drastically but they were also being converted by Daos!
Shi Yinji skipped past the Heavenly Deity level, then True Deity level and into the Deity Overlord level and the invisible barrier in this level shattered, placing her a step away from entering Cataclysmic Realm!
Hundun Yu on the other hand, was already in the True Deity level directly entered the Deity Overlord level and Cataclysmic Realm erupted in him!
Together, the trio’s Cataclysmic Realm connected and started being converted into Daos at the same time.
In Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen, the Fire Order Era’s fire spirits immediately sensed the danger and they worked together to suppress this conversion. However, just as the fire spirit leader unleashed the enormous power in him, he shouted right away but it was already too late.
“Not good! We are all made from the purest fire elemental Dao, we are even more vulnerable to the conversion of Dao!”
The fire spirits trembled and the fire elemental Dao in them destabilized and they started being converted as well!
“Isn’t this our Ancestral Court! Why is this place even more dangerous to us!” shouted the fire spirit leader.
Chapter 1035: The Safe Passage |
The fire spirits were born from the worship of the Fire Order Era. They were formed from fire Daos and the power of worship; if it were the usual times, they would be able to grant Zhong Yue the power of a monarch, but now, instead of helping, they added oil to the fire, making the situation even more dire!
Xin Huo flew out decisively, diving into Yi Wanjun’s forehead who was still cultivating and shouted, “Little girl Yi, wake up!”
Yi Wanjun woke up right away and she immediately grabbed towards the trio upon realizing the abnormalities, only to be stopped by Xin Huo, “Do not touch them! How much of the [Daoless Heaven] do you know now?”
Yi Wanjun moved her hands away and with little confidence, she murmured, “Not much….”
But Xin Huo was still enlightened to hear this, he shouted, “Use your [Daoless Heaven] to beat the Drum of Dusk! You can still temporarily stop the conversion and separate them right away!”
Without hesitation, Yi Wanjun did as Xin Huo said. The drumbeat caused the lights to fade and she immediately reached the trio, trying to split them apart before the lights come back on.
But just when she touched Shi Yinji and Hundun Yu, the lights merged again and she followed the footsteps of Shi Yinji and Hundun Yu, she was stunned at the same spot and started to assimilate.
“We are doomed!”
The little flame hugged himself and the fire on his head twisted, “This girl is also done for! We are all dead!”
But just as the lights temporarily got shattered, no one noticed the slight tremble in Zhong Yue and rumbles that came from his forehead as a saber appeared out of nowhere.
Bit by bit, the saber struggled, but wherever it passed, the lights vanished.
[Dao Crusher]!
An awestruck Xin Huo landed on Zhong Yue’s head and he was in extreme shock at this scene; as the Dao light intensified, Zhong Yue was already in an irreversible state of being converted, but at the last second, he managed to pull himself together and performed the [Dao Crusher] to stop himself from passing the point of no return!
The lights shattered and along with their shattering, Zhong Yue’s [Dao Crusher] divine saber became even more lively and complex, preventing the heaven and earth Daos from connecting back again!
His [Dao Crusher] divine saber experienced a hike like never before, becoming far more profound and powerful than it was when beheading the monarch level Feng Zhen.
But there were four of them being converted, the four Cataclysmic Realms synced and there were also the fire spirits, which all increased the difficulty of [Dao Crusher] of stopping the Dao Assimilation.
Their bodies turned transparent and even Xin Huo was showing signs of being converted!
Xin Huo now was Zhong Yue’s spirit and if Zhong Yue was converted, so would Xin Huo.
Zhong Yue’s body trembled vigorously as he pushed himself to the limit just to move the [Dao Crusher] divine saber, the [Innate Eight Trigrams] emerged around him, and the Innate Tai Yang Dao, Innate Shao Yang Dao, Innate Tai Yin Dao, Innate Shao Yin Dao, Innate Celestial Dao, Innate Demon Dao, Innate Lightning Dao, Space Dao, Time Dao, Innate Yi Dao, and the 11th Dao, the Innate Divine Fire Dao, all showed up.
The Innate Divine Fire Dao was the only monarch level Dao in him for it was formed from all the Sui Sovereign’s remaining Daos back in the ancient continent.
The 11 innate Daos flew into [Dao Crusher] and fortified the divine saber and boosted its power!
Zheng zheng zheng—
The frequency of Daos shattering increased drastically and the Daos conversion speed slowed down. Without a sign, the saber moved quickly and circled around the four. With a final swing, the lights formed from Daos were all shattered!
