Chapter 1097: Five Monarchs Descending Into The Lower Worlds
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
With his beautiful wives and ladies with him in the Kirin carriage, his army marched straight towards the fortress with lightning speed; the men he brought along were the elites of the fortress and it was extremely normal that their returning speed was quick.
“Mo Yin definitely knows that I will be summoned back by Mu Xiantian, which will create an opening for him to deal with me and the best chance he has is when I am still absent from the fortress.” Zhong Yue surmised as he summoned the generals before him, “Hence, he will strike as we are on our way back. This trip back will not be a peaceful one and we must prepare ourselves for ambushes. We may be disadvantaged in terms of numbers, but all of our individual prowess is nothing to scoff at, not to mention we also have three monarch weapons, which makes us a tough bone to chew. However, I suspect that Mo Yin will bring in the monarch spirit to activate the monarch weapon! The only reason he surrounds the fortress without attacking it is because he does not have sufficient manpower to deal with Zi Guang and us at the same time. We shall see on our way back.”
Fu Qizhi said, “With our monarch weapons, Yinkang Navy and 22 Imperial Emperors, Mo Yin would need at least three monarch spirits, three monarch weapons, and countless Heaven Court’s soldiers to wipe us out! The soldiers are easy to gather but where can he find three monarch spirits and weapons?”
“He has his ways.” rebutted Yin Fukang.
The others were confused and Yin Fukang continued, “Panhu Clan had five reigns of Heavenly Monarchs in the Earth Order Era, which means that they also have five monarch weapons. If the Panhu Clan worshipped for these five monarchs spirits to descend….”
Everyone’s expression changed and Yin Fanxuan shook her head in disagreement, “Father, do you know just how many lives will be sacrificed in order to summon five monarch spirits? They don’t have that many people to accomplish this, the five monarch spirits will not descend.”
“Dear daughter, have you forgotten about blood ritual?”
Yin Fukang said, “An even stronger worship power will be produced at the cost of both flesh and soul, if there is enough sacrifices to be offered, they might just be able to summon the Panhu Clan’s five monarch spirits but many must be offered.”
Fu Yanshan added suddenly, “How many of them do you think are captured by them when King Zi Guang is defeated?”
Silence engulfed the generals right away.
Zhong Yue smiled, “No need to be so worried. There will be a way eventually. Mo Yin may have his moves but he’s still tasted defeat before me, he will cause little turbulence and this turbulence will not flip me over.”
The generals were relieved when they heart this as they all had blind trust in Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue activated the Tian Pan and started pouring all his attention into merging the monarch arts; the merging of Fuxi Celestial Race monarchs’ arts was not impossible.
This was all because the monarchs excelled in different fields; Monarch Yin Qiang developed the serpent tail and dragon bones into the peak, which Zhong Yue had merged into the [Innate Eight Trigrams]. What he was doing right now was completing the merging with the complete art.
Monarch Xiang Tuan created the demonic chants through the vigorous heart thumping, Monarch Cao An focused on Qi and blood cultivation, Monarch Gui Xin cultivated the Dao bones, and Monarch Tuan Hao specialized in throat, heart, and chest. Each and every one of them excelled in different areas but whatever they achieved were all part of a Fuxi’s body. This gave Zhong Yue a chance to merge them all together.
Besides, Heaven’s messenger, Xuan Ji had already achieved merging the 22 era’s Fuxi Celestial Monarchs’ arts into one; if an outsider were able to pull this off, Zhong Yue would be able to as well!
In the Tian Pan, the patterns changed, taking the form of Zhong Yue as he reforged his Dao reflection through the enormous power from it. This Dao reflection greatly resembled himself and he was attempting to calculate the infinite changes to merge his arts.
In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, the future monarchs used Tian Pan to calculate their arts, techniques, and weapons but what they were able to stimulate was just the surface of the disc’s power. But the Dao reflection created by Zhong Yue was now testing advanced arts.
His arts were continuously being perfected in the Tian Pan, two months later, the six monarch level arts were all merged into the [Innate Eight Trigrams].
With a flick in his mind, the Dao reflection descended from the disc, and entered his body.
In a simple activation, endless energy surged in his veins, emitting Dao language as soon as his mouth opened, his heart turned into a beating drum, his bones like dragons, his scales reflected the world and his Qi as vast as the ocean!
Among the 23 eras of Heavenly Monarchs, Xuan Ji only obtained all arts except for the [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] and with me possessing all of them, I will outclass Xuan Ji when I completely merge all the 23 eras’ arts together!
Zhong Yue was full of confidence, but soon, he frowned upon realizing that Xuan Ji was relying on not the 22 era Heavenly Monarchs’ arts but the Heavenly Daos’ techniques!
Would he be able to triumph against the Heavenly Daos’ arts?
That he couldn’t guarantee.
Suddenly, noises came from the outside, Zhong Yue handed the Tian Pan over to Yin Fanxuan and the others before he got out from the carriage only to be met with a massive altar floating in the galaxy, covered in blood but with no one in sight.
The altar halted right on the only pathway in the Dark Domain and cut them off.
The Dark Domain was a harsh and dangerous area in the Zi Wei Galaxy, rumors had it that it was already around since the ancient era, said to be an ancient ruin created by war before the ancient era started, most likely formed due to the great turbulence in time and space from the battle.
There was no light in the Dark Domain and no dimension. Time was also twisted, even an Imperial Emperor with a 10,000 year lifespan would not be able to walk out with the same amount of lifespan upon entering this place.
A detour was also possible but that would cost them another few months.
Given how dire the situation was, the fortress would not stand for long at all!
Fu Li had sent scouts to obtain information, they slowed down quickly and became very cautious upon nearing the altar before diving deeper into the altar. Moments later, the scouts returned and reported, “There is no one inside or anything else except for a tablet, which read…. ”
Zhong Yue smiled and interrupted, “King Yi will die here?”
The scouts choked for a second and one of them mustered his courage, “Yes.”
“The mischievous Mo Yin still has the stone tablet around!”
Zhong Yue burst out laughing and continued, “This is a stone tablet he left here back then when he thought he could kill me but I walked away unscathed. He took it out again back in the birthday ceremony but I prevailed regardless and now, he took it out again. How determined this one is.”
Fu Qizhi said, “My lord, this altar is definitely left behind after Mo Yin is done with the prayer for the monarch spirit and the spirit is definitely just around! We must be careful! I suggest for a detour, with King Zi Guang’s intelligence, they should be able to stand their ground for another few months.”
Zhong Yue smiled back, “Mo Yin knows he won’t hold me for long so why the unnecessary move? There is no need for a detour, let’s go!”
The galaxy split apart as an ancient ship sailed out, wings on its side spread out gradually.
“Men, on board!”
With a command, the soldiers started boarding the ship along with their commanders and the ship sailed right into the dimension again.
“There’s another altar!” shouted Bi An who was standing at the ship’s bow suddenly.
Zhong Yue turned around right away and just as Bi An said, there was another altar deep in the dimensions. The Dark Domain shredded the dimension, disrupted time flow and there was only a tiny place that could pass the vast Dark Domain.
And this second altar directly blocked off the access of this path.
Zhong Yue frowned slightly, the ancient ship continued into the second layer of dimension while the Dark Domain remained there still but the path in the second layer was also cut off by an altar.
The ancient ship slowly sailed into the third layer and as expected, there was also another altar!
Layers after layers, there would always be an altar that cut off the path into Dark Domain without fail!
Finally, the ancient ship sailed into the deepest galaxy and after taking a look around, Zhong Yue took in a chilling breath and murmured, “Mo Yin really is not to be underestimated…”
A bloodied altar was blocking off the only access into Dark Domain in every layer!
The 18 layers each had a bloodied altar and Mo Yin definitely didn’t have enough offerings to summon 18 monarch spirits, hence, most of these altars were decoys and only a few of them were real!
However, what kind of existence was the Panhu Clan’s monarch spirit. It was a Heavenly Monarch’s spirit from the Earth Order Era, though the five Panhu Clan’s Heavenly Monarchs did not achieve the Six Paths Reincarnation due to the absence of it in their reigns, spirits did not possess Bloodline Secret Realms in nature, hence, the five monarch spirits were definitely stronger than any monarch spirits from the God Order Era.
After all, they were not the Heaven’s Son but true Heavenly Monarchs!
The 18 layers of dimensions would not stop them for they had the strength to descend in any one of these dimensions!
This also meant that it did not matter which of the 19 altars were real or fake for the monarch spirits would stop them whenever they managed to get out!
Mo Yin really is incredible, guess there is no other way but to force our way out!
Zhong Yue remained silent for a moment before he suddenly rammed the ancient ship out from the Void World.
Hong long—
Vigorous trembles occurred as the ship sailed into the Void World, trying to charge out from Dark Domain while avoiding the 19 altars.
At the same time, the faceless man ruling the sky curtain captured something, causing him to stand up and command the Soul Eating Beasts to swarm towards the ancient ship.
“You again, little Fuxi!”
On the other hand, as soon as the ancient ship entered the Void World, Zhong Yue felt a chilling cold strike him as a terrifying hostile gaze landed on him. He turned around quickly only to find the ancient ship gliding right past the face of a massive creature!
Giant eyes stared right at the ship and those on board, there were a total of 9 eyes and behind these eyes was a gigantic head and the body of a dragon!
Panhu!
They found themselves charging right past a Panhu Clan’s monarch spirit!
“Shit, Mo Yin is really sneaky!”
Zhong Yue praised while the Panhu monarch spirit opened its three mouths, unleashed an unheard soundwave that sent the ancient ship rolling around out from the Void World!
No! This is not Mo Yin’s style!
Zhong Yue poured all his efforts into controlling the ship, the altars laid silently beneath them and with an explosion, the thousand winged ancient ship landed right onto the altar.
This is Consort Tian Si’s doings! They’ve teamed up against us!
