When the Tian Pan was done forging, the monarchs all fought each other to occupy the disc, among all the monarch weapons, there was a monarch sword that drew quite some attention, and from the presence hidden in the sword, Zhong Yue sensed the Zhongyang Clan’s presence. Hence, the guess that there was a living monarch in that clan!
And now, this was confirmed by the appearance of Yang Shaoping!
Upon reaching their time limit, Yao Xingyue and Yangguan Yuan were unable to fight anymore and they could only watch unhappily when Yang Shaoping appeared.
Yao Shaoping looked at Zhong Yue with a smile and shouted, “Mister Yi, with my seventh secret realm achieved, may I have the honor of receiving some teachings from you, the first person in the future monarch board?”
Just as Zhong Yue was about to speak, a lady approached and giggled, “Zhongyang Clan, what’s with the hurry? You are to be congratulated for achieving the seventh secret realm, but in these years, you are not the only one who achieved the seventh secret realm. King Yi, I suppose it’s not too much to challenge you today, is it?”
Zhong Yue turned around and he saw Diming Clan’s Ming Wenyue, the daughter of Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, Princess Wenyue.
As the Heavenly Monarch who ruled the universe, it was no surprise that he obtained saint herbs and it was natural that he would help his daughter to achieve the seventh secret realm.
“Things aren’t looking good. Apart from Yangguan Yuan, the other two are not known at all and they achieved the seventh secret realm in a sudden,” whispered Hundun Yu.
“There should be more than this,” smiled Zhong Yue, “There are more than just these seven monarchs as even more of them remained hidden from plain sight. The saint herbs are also quite abundant!”
Suddenly, another lady approached, also with the seven light wheels behind her and smiled, “If Princess Wenyue is to challenge King Yi, then I will have no reason to sit back.”
Hundun Yu whispered, “This is Queen Goddess’s Wuming Clan’s Wu Qingxuan.”
Wuming Clan was in a marital relationship with Diming Clan, as the clan master of Wuming Clan, it was also not a problem for Queen Goddess to acquire a saint herb.
“Heh, if you are all here, then I shouldn’t be hiding as well!”
Another young man stood up, bowed at King Yi and smiled, “If it weren’t for King Yi’s generosity in sharing the wonders of the seventh secret realm, Changfeng would not be able to enter this level easily! Today, Changfeng wishes to thank King Yi and also ask for some teachings from King Yi!”
Hundun Yu said, “He is from the Changsheng Clan.”
Another man got out of the Zi Wei gods’ ranks and smiled, “Brother Changfeng is right, if not for King Yi’s generosity, we wouldn’t be able to achieve this level in our entire life! King Yi, I am Qinghe Clan’s Qing Ruqu, I am honored to be able to present myself in front of King Yi and dear Dao comrades.”
Another man walked out and smiled, “Then I must come out as well! King Yi, it is my honor to be able to receive your teachings, I am Jintian Clan’s Jin Zhongyu!”
A commotion rose among the other gods as there were eight of them that had achieved the seventh secret realm!
Zhong Yue smiled towards Hundun Yu and said, “There should be more than just eight of them that reached this level but they merely decided not to reveal themselves. There are already four of us in the Heaven Breaching Fortress. You must understand that the monarchs all have saint herbs in their possession but they only had at most two. Only existences like your ancestors are able to occupy the best resources.”
Hundun Yu looked around right away in search of those who remained hiding but achieved the seventh secret realm but to no avail. He thought, The seventh secret realm… I could achieve this but I have no idea if the old ancestor is willing to bestow me a saint herb and guard me… No, I’ve yet to eat the Chaos Divine Fruit! I must go back and ask for one from the old ancestor! If he doesn’t give it to me, I will do anything to get one and threaten him to give me one! If I still can’t get one, I will be left in the dust by everyone!
Zhong Yue’s gaze swept across everyone in attendance. The one that had the most saint herbs were definitely the immortal innate gods, especially those Deity Kings from the Dark Age!
Hundun Clan definitely did not have many but they had a Fusang Divine Tree. As for Feng Tian Origin Lord, Innate Evil Monarch, Innate Dark Monarch, Innate Demon Monarch, Innate Celestial Monarch, Yuan Ya Deity King and the like, they surely had quite some stock!
And they definitely wouldn’t want to miss the meeting so they would send their disciples here!
As for their disciples, they were already here for sure.
“King Yi, why don’t you teach them a little lesson?”
Yangguan Yuan smiled, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be here! I only attended this meeting because you are the one that organized this meeting! I want to see your skills!”
Zhong Yue stood up and right away, an uproar rose among the observers again. As the first person who achieved the seventh secret realm, could it be that King Yi will be demonstrating his power. And will anyone be able to throw Zhong Yue off the first place?
Though they had heard a lot of tales about King Yi about how he slew many strong foes and even the immortal legend Gui Youmin was killed by him, all of it was, after all, a large scale war. How much Zhong Yue contributed could never be completely known with absolute certainty.
It had been a hundred years since his last most jaw-dropping battle and that was when he slew the innate evil god Zhu Xie, shocking the world and cementing his rise.
From then on, the world learned that innate gods were not absolutely invincible at the same level and that someone was able to strike an innate god down!
100 years had passed since then. The war for the throne continued without stop, King Yi guarded the Heavenly Suppression Fortress, defeated the Heaven Court’s army, claimed Gui Youmin’s head as a trophy and paved a path of blood and corpses that led right to the Imperial Star. He mowed down countless sacred grounds and forged an absolute force from bones!
The world’s best strategist, a title earned by Zhong Yue atop a mountain of corpses!
However, that was not his own strength but his intelligence that won him the war.
In fact, there wasn’t any outstanding or well-known battle of Zhong Yue and the most recent one was when Zhong Yue broke into the Huangting Clan alone to save Fu Li and Bi An and killing Ting Fengcen, the outstanding genius of Huangting Clan, with a stare.
Now, would he be able to retain his undefeatable reign?
Or would he fall into the dust from his pedestal?
Zhong Yue looked around and smiled, “Ladies and gentlemen, it has been 100 years and I have no idea about the gap between us. Let’s take this chance and find out, shall we? Now, I suggest we compete with each other first before we discuss what we’ve learned and what we know. To be frank….”
A fake smile that was used to hide his mockery spread across his face, “I want to know if there are any worthy opponents here!”
Warhorns were blown right away, and Fu Li slammed on the drums and roared, “Children of Heavenly Suppression Fortress, raise the altar!”
“Understood!”
Thousands of Deity Emperors and Creators roared, the Heavenly Deity Altar was activated by them right away and the massive altar ascended into the air while surrounded by tremendous and condensed energy. The dimensions in the altar spread widely and turned into massive landscapes that occupied an incredibly huge area of land!
Such was the Titing Clan’s Heavenly Deity Altar that could suppress everyone’s level into the Heavenly Deity level. The battle between Zhong Yue and Zhu Xie happened right here and this was the place where Zhong Yue shocked the world and revealed the seventh secret realm.
“King Yi, why must the battle take place in the altar?”
Jin Zhongyu grinned, “Heavenly Deity Altar is used to suppress our level, preventing us from unleashing our full power. We are here to find out the differences between our strength, not the ranking in the future monarch board, why don’t we carry out the battle right here?”
Zhong Yue was stunned and he smiled, “Brother Jin, to be honest, I am doing this to protect you, I fear that you would be injured by me. I believe that you know how dangerous it is when we are to compete using our seventh secret realm. The strongest among you are merely Deity Emperor and I am worried that I will injure you all.”
The eight strong individuals that opened the seventh secret realm exchanged a glance and Princess Wenyue smiled, “Mister Yi, there is no need to worry about us. We are greatly restricted by the altar if we are on it, and that will stop us from enjoying the fight with you. I think that everyone agrees that it’s better to compete here and it’s easier to learn more from you in this way. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say?”
Lou Zhengshi and the other Heaven Court Imperial Emperors who were present were all shocked hearing this and Pan Ji whispered to them, “Senior Martial Brother Lou, is the princess trying to take this chance to eliminate King Yi?”
Lou Zhengshi nodded softly and transmitted a message into his mind, “His Majesty secretly trained the princess for this chance to take out King Yi to relieve the stress on the Heaven Court. However, what Her Highness said is also right, the pressure from the altar would limit their strength and the others would probably agree.”
This time, there were 18 Imperial Emperors from the Heaven Court and this was quite a powerful force.
Ting Daoji’s psyche wavered and added in, “The seventh secret realm can only be activated for a certain time and the best chance to kill King Yi is when he is forced to close his seventh secret realm because of the time limit. In the altar, the ones that keep the altar operating are all King Yi’s men and it would be impossible to kill him. On the outside, however, they could take this chance to kill him, Her Highness is really smart!”
Lou Zhengshi looked around at the Heaven Breaching Fortress under Zhong Yue’s command and there were a dozen Imperial Emperors around readied for any emergency.
Lou Zhengshi and the others secretly discussed among themselves and after coming up with a plan, Lou Zhengshi repeated it again, “When Her Highness acts, we will have to hold Fu Li and the others off temporarily to buy Her Highness some time!”
On the other hm Yangguan Yuan smiled, “Mister Yi, instead of being restrained, why don’t we fight without any burden!”
Changfeng nodded, “Mister Yi, I am with them at the suggestion.”
Zhong Yue looked at Yang Xingyue who hesitated before giving in.
Wu Qingxuan and Yang Shaoping also agreed, “We wish to have some knowledge on King Yi’s real strength, please don’t hold yourself back, King Yi.”
Left with no choice, Zhong Yue gave in and said, “Then, I suppose that I have no other choice left. Don’t blame me if you are injured because this is what you demanded.
Jin Zhongyu walked up and smiled, “King Yi, I am also a Deity Overlord and I hope that King Yi would go easy on us and not injure us too seriously.”
Zhong Yue smiled back, “If you are more or less as strong as me, then you will be injured heavily but if there is a massive gap between us, I will be able to control my strength easily and that will keep you away from heavy injuries.”
Jin Zhongyu smiled, “King Yi, are you suggesting us to not resist and that it’s better to surrender after being beaten up by you?”
Zhong Yue slanted his head and nodded, “I guess so. Remember, the more you resist, the heavier the injuries you will receive, resistance is futile.”
Divine lights sparked in Jin Zhongyu eyes and with a terrifying laser, he unleashed his seven light wheels and shouted, “Mister Yi, let us begin!”
