“Lord Tian, run quickly!”
Everyone shouted but before their words reached Lord Tian, the man’s head exploded and his corpse fell down from the walls.
Their expression was terrible, but the enemies did not give them the chance to react as after Imperial Emperor Fu Li killed Lord Tian, Zhong Yue pointed at Tian Hou Royal Race and his chilling voice echoed out, “Level the entire Tian Hou Royal Race!”
Chapter 1064: Army Before The Imperial Star |
The endless armies marched at Tian Hou Royal Race, equipped with massive siege weapons and armor. They quickly breached the gates and the ferocious soldiers rampaged across the sacred ground.
The Fusang Divine Tree and the many terrifying weapons unleashed a massacre among the sacred ground, twisting the dimension and shattering the Tian Hou Royal Race. They split the continents, caused planets to fall, and even crushed the sun into pieces!
“Move!”
“Hurry!”
Mo Yin angrily shouted as he reorganized the army. They left hurriedly and when they looked back, the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ soldiers had already swarmed into the Tian Hou Royal Race.
The Heaven Court’s army fled hurriedly, and about ten days later, they arrived at a demon race allied to the Heaven Court called Blood Spirit Demon Race.
Just as Mo Yin wanted to have his men to rest and restock their supplies, a smithing sound was heard again. Without hesitation, Mo Yin quickly ordered his men and the Blood Spirit Demon Race to abandon the Blood Spirit sacred ground and retreat.
Half a year later, the Heaven Court’s army passed hundreds of sacred grounds, having now formed a massive army as they arrived at Pi Xiu Royal Race’s.
“Pi Xiu Royal Race, their daughter is in the Heaven Court. They could be considered as royal relatives. There are many experts in their clan, and with the addition of those we gathered along the way, we should be able to fight against the fortress’ army,” said Lou Zhengshi.
Mo Yin bit his lips and ordered the clan master of Pi Xiu Royal Race to not show himself, “Alright, we will stand our ground here and fight our way back into the fortress to kill King Yi! General Lou, hold the line while I set up the altar to weaken his fate!”
Just as Mo Yin had the altar set up, and before he could even start the ritual, a clamoring rose as the men they gathered throughout the way turned against them. They charged at the Heaven Court’s army, wreaking havoc in the city while light pillars descended from the skies as the Fusang Divine Tree crushed the city.
“Mister, we can’t hold any longer!”
Pan Ji and Lou Zhengshi dragged Mo Yin away as they shouted, “There are two Innate Saint Spirit Bodies, one of them is Goddess Xuan and the other is the man in a white robe, they are both casting and wielding our soldiers and weapons, greatly disrupting our formation!”
Anger consumed Mo Yin and the anger started causing damage inside his body, causing him to vomit blood.
In about a year’s time, the army retreated from the fortress all the way back into the Imperial Granary. Throughout the way, there were many sacred grounds and strongholds that were allied with the Heaven Court, yet they were all effortlessly destroyed and captured by Zhong Yue’s army!
Upon seeing the Imperial Granary, Mo Yin could no longer hold himself together and with blood gushing out of his mouth, he fainted. Lou Zhengshi and the others quickly helped him treat his injuries and they thought, Ghost Master has crossed the line. His greed caused this ultimate defeat. If he did not recklessly charge into the enemy’s ranks and just cooperated with us, Mister Mo would have led us into victory… No wonder Mister Mo is so angry that he even suffered a backlash….
Under the treatment of the Imperial Emperors, Mo Yin’s consciousness returned to him and they were all in Imperial Granary now. They started organizing themselves and set up camps to fight against the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ army.
Smithing sounds could be heard again, suggesting that the fortress’ army had arrived and Old Man Xuan and Qi were forging counter weapons for them.
Mo Yin remained silent for a second before he hopelessly said, “Gentlemen, the Imperial Granary is lost, we can’t defend it anymore. I am to blame for Ghost Master’s death, His Majesty ordered Old Man Xuan and Qi and I to replace Ghost Master to command the army. Little did we know that Ghost Master was so stubborn that not only did he lose his life, he even buried the greatest chance we had to breach the fortress. Now, we are on the verge of being defeated, we retreated all the way to the Imperial Granary and if we lose this place, the last stop will be the Imperial Star itself!”
Everyone remained silent for the ultimate defeat was entirely unexpected. They did not know they would be defeated that easily.
Mo Yin sighed, “His Majesty will have to take my head for this defeat. If you think that I was a good comrade, please let me go as I walk away from the camp. My suggestion to you all is that you too start fleeing and search for a better way out from this mess.”
With that, he struggled to get up and limped away.
Lou Zhengshi and the others’ minds went blank upon his words and Pan Ji quickly halted Mo Yin and smiled, “Mister, wait! His Majesty is a wise king and he will definitely not blame you for this. Besides, Mister Mo is not to be blamed for the defeat, it was Ghost Master that caused all of these. We will definitely speak up for you and report whatever happened clearly to His Majesty, please don’t go.”
The other generals also advised him, “Mister Mo, if you leave us, who will be able to fight against King Yi? Please stay with us!”
Lou Zhengshi also said, “Mister Mo, are you willing to watch as billions of gods walk to their deaths? Please stay with us and we will speak up for you in front of His Majesty. We will all take on the responsibility so that His Majesty wouldn’t blame you for this!”
Mo Yin kept quiet and after some time, he sighed, “Fine, I will stay! But if His Majesty wants to kill me, I hope that you will let me leave by then.”
Lou Zhengshi and the others frowned, “Mister, can’t we defend the Imperial Granary?”
He nodded and said, “Retreat.”
“Mister, any more and it will be the Imperial Star!”
“Retreat!” said Mo Yin again after some time.
Without any option left, the generals gave out the order to clear out the entire Imperial Granary, burn the resources that they could not take with them and retreat back into the Imperial Star. Zhong Yue chased after them with his army and after ten days, a massive planet appeared before them.
They’ve arrived at the Imperial Star.
“Imperial Star, Heaven Court… Order, set up the camp!”
Zhong Yue looked forward and smiled as he looked at the star, “Imperial Star is really a rich planet, if we can take over the star, the Heaven Court will be right in our grasps. Ladies and gentlemen, let us have a rest and give me a hand in forging a weapon before we meet with the warriors of Imperial Star!”
The Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ army then set up the camps right outside of the Imperial Star, the gods lifted up one after another Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace, captured the stars and threw them into the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace to melt them down to build a fortress right beside the Imperial Star and name it the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
With their combined efforts, a massive and grand fortress was built and the silver fortress stood high and firm.
Meanwhile, Mo Yin and the remaining soldiers camped at the Heavenly River and stood their ground there.
Lou Zhengshi and the other generals then reported back to the Heaven Court, telling the Heavenly Monarch about the battle that forced them back into the Imperial Star, shocking the entire star and the other army divisions from the Heaven Court. The Heaven Court then hurriedly sent out reinforcements.
With an order, the Heavenly Monarch rewarded the remaining soldiers to encourage them, and promoted Mo Yin into the commander taking charge of the whole situation.
With the power granted to him, Mo Yin reassigned new tasks to the army and prepared for another battle.
From the Heaven Breaching Fortress came smithing noise again, raising the curiosity in Mo Yin, What is King Yi trying to forge this time? Could it be weapons to counter us? Or are they trying to create weapons that counter the future monarchs before they turn into real headaches so that they could have the future for their own?
In the fortress, the soldiers all cast avatars, and the now gigantic soldiers lifted up the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace and kept them burning strongly!
There was another batch of gods on the side that maintained the wind pressure and blew wind into the furnace. A few thousand Deity Emperors and hundreds of Creators refined the White Luminant Gold.
Then, there were a few Imperial Emperors that drew in the water from the Heavenly River to further enhance the White Luminant Gold.
Again and again, these men forged one after another metal piece without any impurities.
Old Man Xuan and Qi set up their smithing equipments again while two old Imperial Emperors assisted Zhong Yue personally. With Stone Sentinel Maze activated, Zhong Yue gathered the strength of the Xian Tian Royal Guards and slammed the hammer downwards hardly!
Beside him, Imperial Emperor Fu Li placed one after another White Luminant Gold beneath the hammer and with each hammering, a fire spark was created and a divine weapon was slowly taking shape.
Zhong Yue was reforging Tian Pan!
Back then, Zhong Yue forged a half completed Tian Pan to win the bet against XQES but the disc was destroyed during the monarchs’ calculation.
The Tian Pan back then was simply forged by Zhong Yue, the material used was just ordinary steel. Now, he chose the most solid White Luminant Gold, and with the aid of the Imperial Emperors, Creators, Deity Emperors and countless soldiers, he was determined to forge the most perfect Tian Pan!
As he continued hammering, the dimensions around the Imperial Star trembled, the Heavenly River raged and heaven and earth’s Daos surged from the void and flowed into the hammer in his hand.
In the Imperial Star, the many gods looked around in puzzlement.
“What is that?”
Many of them were dumbfounded by a silver city appearing out from nowhere right outside of the Imperial Star.
This silver city was created in just one night and that was something anyone could do!
Meanwhile, as Mo Yin was observing the movements in the Heaven Breaching Fortress, two people appeared by his side. When he took a look, he quickly knelt down, “Your Majesty, Your Highness!”
Lou Zhengshi and the others got out from the tent and they all knelt down on one knee.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen Goddess had descended onto the camp and they were both looking at the fortress, when they arrived the others did not know.
“Stand,” said Heavenly Monarch Di Ming emotionlessly. He looked into the skies after shifting his attention from the fortress.
The generals got up and Mo Yin asked, “Your Majesty and Your Highness, will you be dealing with King Yi personally?”
Queen Goddess smiled, “Xian Tian Palace’s Mister Yi must be punished with death for fighting all the way to our Imperial Star. But it is not easy to kill him.”
The generals were confused by her reply.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming looked into the skies still and after some time, he asked, “What do you think, my queen?”
Queen Goddess too, looked into the skies and said, “I also felt some abnormal movements but with my eyes, I could only see a vague figure.”
Chapter 1065: Reforging the Tian Pan |
The rest became even more confused but when they looked into the skies, all they saw were the phenomena triggered by Zhong Yue’s weapon forging.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming smiled, “It’s Mu Xian Tian, he’s here.”
Everyone’s heart tightened right away and they all thought, Mu Xian Tian? Ruler of Xian Tian Palace is here?
“He’s hidden in the Void World, you can’t see him.”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming smiled as he looked deep into the void, “Even the Almanac of Fate has its weakness, it couldn’t see through the void.”
With a glance mixed with emotions, he continued, “He brought 36 gods with him this time and even I could barely sense the scent they left behind. Innate gods could enter the Void World freely as they wish. Seems like he couldn’t sit back and watch this time now that he arrived at the Heaven Breaching Fortress early.”
Mo Yin was slightly stunned and he asked, “Your Majesty, do you mean that he is also a monarch now?”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming nodded, “He got his hands on the Imperial Monarch level but it was only half the success. He was a little in the hurry and after being pressured by me, he was forced to achieve half the Imperial Monarch level. Heh, now, it will be much harder for him if he wants to become a real monarch.”
Mo Yin did not understand this and the Heavenly Monarch continued, “There was once a Gui Youmin who was sent to the ancient universe to meet my teacher. He told Gui Youmin that he once saw the innate sacred ground that gave birth to Mu Xian Tian and that this secret ground is a symbiotic sacred ground. It was just like a massive embryo that nurtured a symbiotic twins of one body and the twins were a celestial and a demon.”
Mo Yin’s mind went blank and he shouted, “Mu Xian Tian is both a celestial and a demon?”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming confirmed it with a nod and said, “That’s right. You’ve seen him before, haven’t you? Do you know what race he belongs to?”
“Innate god.”
“Then, do you know where his innate demon true body is hidden?”
With a smile, the Heavenly Monarch continued in a manner like he was talking to himself, “Of course it’s hidden in Xian Tian Palace. He only shows his innate celestial body to the world while the demon body cultivated secretly, entirely hidden from plain sight. He thought he was doing a great job in hiding, but little did he know that I already knew about this, giving me the chance to pressure him greatly and forcing him into pushing his innate demon body into the monarch level first.”
Mo Yin quickly got the point and he said, “Celestial and demon stand on opposite terms innately! If his demon body reaches the monarch level first, then the celestial body will have little to no chance of achieving the same level!”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming smiled, “However, if his two bodies reach the monarch level together, then I will not be able to do anything to him. Now, with only one body entering the monarch level, there will be an opening in him and the chance to kill him! Besides, I also had King Shen Wuwei search for the innate sacred ground where Mu Xian Tian is born. Once I locate the sacred ground, Mu Xian Tian will not be a threat anymore!”
Mo Yin felt a cold chilling down his spine right away for Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s conspiracy was way too terrifying, one wouldn’t even know how he died if he underestimated Heavenly Monarch Di Ming!
“I can deal with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian but King Yi will be a problem hard to dealt with….”
He said softly, “What is he forging? Hmmm, even Mu Xian Tian is alerted by this, causing him to leak his presence and allowing me to catch onto his trails…. Heh, Heaven Breaching Fortress and Heavenly Suppression Fortress, I’m curious to see who can suppress me or breach me!”
“This phenomenal…. It’s like someone is on the brink of ascending into a monarch… A weapon forging can’t possibly cause such a scene, can it?”
Queen Goddess mumbled, “Besides, can King Yi really forge something on such an extraordinary level?”
Suddenly, from the void emerged an eye, it was a diabolical eye. Queen Goddess smirked and she hurled out a little tree branch that turned into a tiny bow, this bow looked nothing more like a child’s play and the goddess shot out an arrow towards the eye in the skies!
The arrow struck right onto the eye, forcing it to close up, breaking with the arrow with its lid before boiling blood gushed down the skies, dying everything red.
“Mu Xian Tian couldn’t sit back anymore and he wants to know what King Yi is forging. Shame, he did not die under my arrow… Seems like he really is a monarch now.” frowned Queen Goddess as she kept the bow away.
Lou Zhengshi and the others exchanged a glance in fear for as a monarch herself and the monarch weapon, Queen Goddess destroyed Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s eyes even after she had the element of surprise, which reflected just how terrifying Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was!
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming calmly said, “Which is why he is almost impossible to kill unless we find his birthplace, the Xuan Pin Sacred Land. Now, I am more curious about what King Yi is forging that caused such huge movements. Mu Xian Tian’s curiosity also tells us about just how little he knows about what his officer is forging.”
The divine light shined even brighter as time passed and the Tian Pan slowly formed under the hammer; there were countless complicated Dao patterns on it and Old Man Xuan and Qi were both very nervous, causing them to constantly check on their Million Treasure Dao Hammer.
Back then when Zhong Yue forged the Tian Pan, the Million Treasure Dao Hammer almost shattered under the pressure. Now, the Tian Pan Zhong Yue was trying to forge this time was much more complicated and powerful than the previous one in every way, thus, Old Man Xuan and Qi had no idea if the Million Treasure Dao Hammer could withstand the immense pressure or not.
Ka cha—-
There came a noise from Million Treasure Dao Hammer, scaring Old Man Xuan and Qi greatly while Zhong Yue said, “Fanxuan, senior martial brother!”
At the side, Yin Fanxuan and Feng Xiaozhong stepped forward right away as they both shouted, “Cast!”
The Innate Saint Spirit Body’s [Dao Worshipping] was pushed to be limit by both of them; Feng Xiaozhong once used [Dao Worshipping] to sacrifice innumerable of Heaven Court’s soldiers along with a Creator. This time with the addition of Yin Fanxuan, the [Dao Worshipping]’s power intensified the divine light in the air and the light surged into the hammer.
