Chapter 1098: Five Monarchs’ Ambush
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Consort Tian Si and Mo Yin both had different styles; with the Almanac of Fate and his overwhelming intelligence, Mo Yin excelled in planning, formation organizing and the altering of fate. He was a master strategist. He led his army in two different styles, one straight forward and the other conniving, making him a formidable foe. Even if he lost, he would still be able to retreat with his men safely.
Consort Tian Si, on the other hand, was different.
She possessed the Almanac of Karma, manipulating karma, creating chaos throughout the process. Unlike Mo Yin, she was not a good commander, but she was unrivaled in setting up plans and schemes, each connected to one another, leaving no gaps untouched.
The 19 altars were most likely her doing; blocking off the road with the altars, sealing the dimensions and forcing Zhong Yue to travel through the Void World.
But this was what she wanted from the start, she needed Zhong Yue to enter the Void World, where she had a Panhu monarch spirit ambush them inside and drag them into the encirclement she set up!
With all his attention on Mo Yin, Zhong Yue wouldn’t be expecting Consort Tian Si; the alliance between the two great strategists had Zhong Yue cornered!
Just as the thousand winged ancient ship finally managed to regain its balance, at the edge of the altar rose a massive head, with one after another light wheels shining as brightly as the galaxy behind the head!
From these spinning light wheels sounded out calm and thick Dao voices that rumbled across the area as if it were worship for living beings!
Another monarch spirit from Panhu Clan shown up!
And this was just one of its heads, its remaining two heads appeared at both sides of the altar, both also with five galaxies like light wheels behind!
At the same time, the air above the Void World split apart as the Panhu monarch spirit that slammed the ancient ship out from the realm reached its heads in, the three gigantic heads also had light wheels behind!
Panhu Clan, an ancient sovereign clan that stood on the same tier as the Fuxi Celestial Race, their Heavenly Monarchs’ monarch spirits were all terrifyingly powerful that the dimension trembled before their presence. The two monarch spirits were about to close the encirclement and trap Zhong Yue and his men at the altar!
“Men!”
Zhong Yue shouted, Fu Qizhi and the others aided Hundun Yu in activating the Fusang Divine Tree, Yin Fanxuan and the other Yinkang Clan’s men activated the Heavenly Suppression River Cauldron, the others activated the remaining two monarch weapons and attacked the Panhu Clan’s monarch spirit that was standing beside the altar!
Following behind the attacks was the ancient ship, sailing right on the only way out forcefully!
With the monarch spirit blocking off this path, they had no choice but to force their way out!
The cauldron slammed against Panhu monarch spirit’s hands, unleashing a loud noise as a Heavenly River gushed out from the cauldron and slammed downwards as they attempted to suppress the monarch spirit’s heads.
The Fusang Divine Tree, on the other hand, swung towards the remaining head, which roared and emitted a soundwave preventing the tree from falling downwards as if was stunned right in the air!
Seven Paths Reincarnation!
Seven light wheels shone behind Zhong Yue’s head, enveloping everyone into the seven light wheels.
Weng—
A second before their palms collided, along with the ancient ship, everyone onboard vanished without a sign.
The two monarch spirits’ palms slammed onto each other and in just a split second, the six heads roared towards six directions, trembling the Nether greatly, but the ancient ship remained hidden.
Seeing this, the two monarch spirits started diving downwards, entering the 17th level from Nether, where there was nothing, and of course, no sign of Zhong Yue.
The monarch spirits continued diving downwards, entering the 16th level, then the 15th and 14th, all the way to the bottom and into reality. They both exchanged a glance.
All the way down, they found no traces of Zhong Yue or the ancient ship at all.
This was impossible!
The ship may be swift and quick but no matter how quick it sailed, there was no way it could outrun the two monarch spirits given Zhong Yue’s current strength, let alone with so many soldiers with him!
But just as the monarch spirits left Nether, the ancient ship emerged from the shadows!
“Space Dao?”
The two monarch spirits raised their heads and they saw the light piercing through the Dark Domain. One of the two monarchs said, “Is that the Seven Paths Reincarnation?”
Back then, Zhong Yue activated the Space Secret Realm in the Seven Paths Reincarnation to escape; when the monarch spirits roared to force Zhong Yue out, Zhong Yue was already gone.
After cultivating the Space Secret Realm, Zhong Yue was capable of traveling between dimensions freely as he wished. There was no way the two monarch spirits were able to catch up to them, they may be quick, when they traveled between the dimensions, they were still slower than Zhong Yue.
When they descended on reality, Zhong Yue had already made a round and left after entering Nether.
“Our arts are all outdated compared to the future.”
The two monarch spirits praised but that did not stop them from giving chase. At a steady pace, they tailed behind Zhong Yue and showed little concern to the fact that Zhong Yue had already gone out of sight.
The ancient ship sailed through the tunnel at extreme speed and on the bow, Zhong Yue’s heart sank to the bottom for he only saw two monarch spirits but there were five of them.
And if there were only two of them at the entrance, then the rest would be either in the middle of the tunnel or the exit!
Consort Tian Si’s arrangements left no stones unturned! She has got to be intentionally setting up the 19 altars to misguide me into thinking that she summoned the five monarch spirits from the Void World. But in truth, she left 2 monarch spirits there, opened up a path so that I would enter the net she placed and trap myself in her net!
And at the next moment, another altar showed up!
Seconds later, the 17th, 16th, and the other level dimensions all emerged a bloodied altar!
Zhong Yue, however, ignored them. Instead of stopping, Zhong Yue charged right past the altars at full speed!
“Mister Mo, is this appropriate?”
Mo Yin and Pan Ji both stood beside an altar as they watched the countless Panhu Clan’s members pray beside another altar while some other gods sent prisoners up to the stage and prepared for the summoning.
Beside Mo Yin was a lady donned in a colorful dress, “I suppose King Yi will find himself struggling to survive from the five monarch spirits and my traps. Heh, but aren’t we being too inappropriate?”
Mo Yin replied, “On the battlefield, any move that could bring us victory is a good move. Fortunately for us, Consort Tian Si is with us this time or we wouldn’t be able to capture King Yi. He thinks that I will ambush him, but little did he know that he is dealing with Consort Tian Si this time! He will definitely will fall into our ambush. The chances of survival will be slim for him!”
Consort Tian Si blinked and giggled, “He’s in our grasp now. I believe the 5th monarch spirit is about to descend?”
Pan Ji immediately ordered, “Start the blood ritual!”
On the fifth altar, the Panhu Clan’s gods raised their weapons, decapitated the prisoners, heads rolled all over the altar, blood gushed out and the splattering blood created alluring totem patterns on the massive altar.
Weng—
A crimson light shot towards the skies and pierced into the void.
After some time, an intimidating presence descended as the Void World split apart, a gigantic monarch spirt trailed after the blood ritual and heeded the summon!
“Ancestors, please aid us in killing King Yi and his men!” Pan Ji and the other Panhu’s members prayed towards the monarch spirit.
“Easy!” smiled the Panhu monarch spirit.
At the same time, the ancient ship arrived at the altar at the center of the tunnel and just as Zhong Yue was about to charge through the tunnel in one go, altars emerged at the back of the ship as two monarch spirits skipped through the 18 level dimensions and stopped right behind them.
Another two more monarch spirits!
Apart from that, they both blocked off the connection between the real world and the 18 level dimensions, cut off Zhong Yue and behind them were the earlier two monarch spirits that were chasing after them!
“Men, full might into the Fusang Divine Tree!”
Zhong Yue shouted and immediately, the 22 Imperial Emperors, along with Old Man Xuan and Qi, channeled all their strength into the divine tree, as for Yinkang Navy and the Star Torrent Fortress’ soldiers also contributed their energy!
The tree’s might grew rapidly, bathed in chaotic Qi and fire, spread out monarch level Daos so condensed that they turned into burning suns that circled around the tree before slamming towards the two monarch spirits!
“Chaotic Qi? You possess such an item?”
The two monarch spirits were surprised but they were both well aware of the incoming attack, they both slammed their palms towards the tree and the attacks created an impact, shattering the dimension and the suns exploded before the terrifying might!
The two monarch spirits lost their balance right away, but the 22 Imperial Emperors suffered different degree injuries. Those weaker, like the Creators and Deity Emperors, were heavily injured.
Zhong Yue did not channel any energy into the tree, hence, he escaping from the impact. He was controlling the ancient ship, dashing past the two monarch spirits, only to find himself stuck in between them once they regained their balance and sent their light wheels at ship!
With a battle cry, Zhong Yue raised the innate divine sabers, grew out another 11 arms, each holding onto a saber and slashed towards the light wheels of the monarch spirits.
These light wheels were all the projection of the monarch spirits’ Yuan Shen Secret Realms, if he did not do anything to stop these light wheels, they would all be pulled into the monarch spirits’ secret realms and that would endanger them greatly!
Eleven sabers swung about in the air, cutting the light wheels apart!
It all happened quickly and Zhong Yue did not pull this off without paying for the consequences, blood started gushing out from his body. Yet again, Zhong Yue swung the second, third, fourth time….
All Panhu had three heads and two monarch spirits, giving them a total of 30 secret realms and 30 light wheels!
With 30 strikes, Zhong Yue split apart 30 light wheels and there was no longer a part of his body in good condition, his skin had disintegrated, his flesh fell apart and the ship’s speed decreased because of this.
The two monarch spirits reached toward the ancient ship and that was when seven light wheels erupted from the ancient ship and disappeared from their sight.
“Oh no, you aren’t going to escape this time!”
A burst of laughter burst out as the fifth Panhu monarch spirit revealed himself at the exit of the tunnel, fingers spread out and endless monarch Daos turned into a web that covered the entire exit.
With a ripple, the ancient ship was glued onto the web like a fly that flew into a spider’s web!
