“King Yi is in our Quasi Star Region?”
The two Imperial Emperors exchanged a look and both saw the same shock in each other’s eyes. Mo Yuanlie was disappointed as he said, “You two didn’t know where he is in the Quasi Star Region? Seems like there’s no use for the two of you anymore…”
Beads of cold sweat immediately rolled down the Imperial Emperors’ foreheads, they quickly said, “Senior martial brother, please wait. We will dispatch our disciples to scout the area, we will find him!”
Mo Yuanlie didn’t reply. He cast out the Million Demons Banner and entered the Quasi Star Region, roaming in it while the two Imperial Emperors gave the order.
Instantly, the Getian gods scattered around to search for Zhong Yue’s hideout. On the other hand, the Imperial Emperors had also ordered the clansmen to worship the monarch spirit just in case the situation went south.
Soon after, the gods returned to report, “No signs of infiltrations from anyone.”
Then, the gods that went to worship the monarch spirit also reported back quietly, “Imperial Emperors, the monarch spirit and the other ancestors’ spirits are summoned by our clansmen in the Imperial Star for the war. Our worships are unanswered.”
The Imperial Emperors’ hearts sank, they conducted their voice and said, “Gather our people now and leave this place. Travel as far as you can, but make sure you do it quietly, no noises, no clamors.”
“Imperial Emperors…”
“This place is no longer safe, our only hope is to save as much as we can!”
The Imperial Emperors put on a smile beside Mo Yuanlie, the latter glanced at them and suddenly smiled, “Why so serious? I’m not a fiendish butcher. I am just not a fan of the celestials. Know that I don’t usually kill just for the fun of it, but the celestials in my eyes…”
All of a sudden, a deep rumble came from the deepest part of the Quasi Star Region. The quasi stars were orbiting rapidly and turned into a huge swirl. Then, countless quasi star sword rays burst out and coalesced into a huge sword ray that broke through the firmament!
“Is this some kind of treasure?”
The two Getian Imperial Emperors were shocked and overjoyed. They were happy there was a treasure here, and by the looks of it, it was incredibly strong and powerful, no weaker than ordinary monarch weapons!
Shocked was because Mo Yuanlie was beside them, how would he possibly let them have the treasure?
Rays flashed in Mo Yuanlie’s eyes, he too was shocked by the quasi star sword rays’ powerful powers. Such was the magnificent power of nature, a direct demonstration of its stupendous strength by heaven’s and earth’s Daos!
“Such power… even if I can’t find King Yi, this treasure alone will still make this trip worth the efforts. If that’s the case, then…” He suddenly smiled, “There is no more need for the Getian Clan anymore.”
The two Imperial Emperors’ scalps tingled. Just before they were going to kill Mo Yuanlie, the Million Demons Banner fluttered in the air and dragged the Imperial Emperors’ atman out of their bodies!
Their Yuan Shens were shattered and split apart into spirits and souls!
Not only them, but all of the Getian gods’ Yuan Shens in the Quasi Star Region were also split apart into spirits and souls by the Million Demons Banner!
Their mortal bodies were unscathed but their souls were already dragged into the Million Demons Banner, leaving only their spirits inside of the bodies. They were now like a bunch of walking zombies!
At the same time, there was an expedition of gods and hundreds of thousands of clansmen were exiting the Quasi Star Region on a warship. Suddenly, the Getian gods turned around to look together with their mouths agape. At the center of the Quasi Star Region, a banner grew incredibly huge in size and was fluttering heavily.
As the banner swayed, they could feel their Yuan Shen flying out of their bodies, as if a massive black hole were trying to suck them into it!
“Leave, now!”
A Getian Deity Emperor spent all of his energy and pushed on the warship. Immediately, the warship bolted outward at great speed.
Then, he could hear his Yuan Shen getting torn apart and his soul leaving toward the Million Demons Banner.
From afar, his soul was watching the warship, the hope of the Getian Clan, sailing into the darkness.
“At least they can live…”
A smile radiated across his soul’s face, but all of a sudden, a flash of demon ray pierced through the warship. The warship splintered away and the Getian clansmen cried in fear and pain. Their mortal bodies and Yuan Shens disintegrating in the midst of the demon rays. Only a few gods managed to make it out alive and the others all died from that strike!
The Deity Emperor shouted, but no sound came out of his mouth. Then, he was devoured by darkness as he was sucked into the Million Demons Banner.
Mo Yuanlie kept the Million Demons Banner and said placidly, “The celestials in my eyes were never lives, you lot are just annoying bugs to me.”
He looked up at the quasi star sword rays in the deepest part of the Quasi Star Region in awe and praised, “What a treasure. A treasure born from nature is rare even in our ancient universe. This treasure is coming out soon anytime now?”
Mo Yuanlie thought. Then, the sword rays grew brighter with every second, they became so bright that even Mo Yuanlie started to feel uncomfortable. Given the abnormalities happening now, Mo Yuanlie wouldn’t even believe it if someone told him there was no treasure here!
I once heard from teacher. In this cosmos, there are innate gods that were born from nature, of course, there would also be innate treasures that were born from nature as well. But unfortunately, most of the innate treasures are born alongside innate gods. Even before its birth, this treasure has already caused such an amazing phenomenon. Its power must be multiple times stronger than this once it’s born!
Just as he was thinking about it, the sword rays suddenly shrunk into a ball of light.
Mo Yuanlie grew even more anxious, he was staring closely at the center of the Quasi Star Region but the brilliance was too bright, he couldn’t see what the treasure was.
All of a sudden, black blood trickled down the corner of his eyes as he thought in shock, What a horribly powerful sword ray!
He was staring at the ball of light. Although the huge sword rays were gone, the ball of light was still emanating countless small and thin sword rays. These quasi star sword rays were so thin that even he couldn’t see them.
Thus, when he was staring into the ball of light, his eyes were shot by the sword rays.
But the injuries were nothing to him. Furthermore, all of the Getian gods were killed by him already, there’s no one around here anymore. He could slowly wait until the treasure settled down and claim it at his own pace.
“Thankfully Xie Yang and Shen Xiage are a step behind. Else, I’ll have to go through all the trouble of getting through them to get my hands on this treasure.”
Days later, the light rays abruptly disappeared. Mo Yuanlie was overjoyed and said, “The treasure is born!”
He stared into the Quasi Star Region and saw at the place where the lights have disappeared sat a man. The man was sitting in the lotus position and was panting heavily.
Beside the man, an innate Dao huge like a dragon was waltzing around him.
Mo Yuanlie was stunned, he murmured, “Treasure? Where’s the treasure? King Yi! That human is King Yi! Why is he here?”
Zhong Yue was sitting there, murmuring to himself, “I’ve come back from death’s door. So this is how… Hahahaha!”
He was laughing happily his survival out of the predicament. On one hand, he was facing Dao Assimilation and on the other, he has to defend himself from the quasi star sword lights formed by the Innate Sword Dao.
He was in a dire situation that his Yuan Shen was only a fine line away from diminishing. Yet, just right before it happened, he finally understood the Innate Lake Dao’s abstrusities and used all his energy to attract the tens of thousand quasi star sword lights into his body to successfully cultivate the Innate Lake Dao!
The Innate Sword Dao was only the facade of the Quasi Star Region’s Dao, its true essence was the Innate Lake Dao.
Once the essence was understood, the facade would be nothing for him to handle anymore.
As he was now, he could enter the Quasi Star Region without the sword rays inflicting any damage to him anymore thanks to his attainment in the Quasi Star Region’s essence Dao.
He had absorbed the quasi star sword rays and created a miniature Quasi Star Region of his own inside of his body. There, it nurtured the Innate Lake Dao he just formed.
Now, his [Innate Eight Trigrams] had another Dao. The totem patterns formed into the Quasi Star Region’s symbol and became a new trigram in his [Innate Eight Trigrams].
Not only that, but the tribulation was also over. His cultivation base had increased greatly, breaking through the Deity Overlord level to the Deity Emperor level.
The Deity Emperor level was also known as the Void Realm. It means that the cultivator’s Yuan Shen could connect with the Void World now and at this level, the cultivator’s Yuan Shen would be strengthened greatly!
Just right as he entered the level of Deity Emperor, Zhong Yue could feel an obscure attraction coming from the void. His Yuan Shen was able to detect the Void World easily and its prowess was also increased greatly. It was as if his Yuan Shen was growing stronger with every second!
Such increment in prowess didn’t just boost his overall strength only a few times, but more!
“What are you laughing for!?” Mo Yuanlie was angered, he cast out the Million Demons Banner and swayed it, he said, “King Yi, I’ve been searching for you! So this is where you hide yourself! Give me your soul!”
The Million Demons Banner’s power hiked and the tearing force on the Yuan Shen struck onto Zhong Yue. In the deepest region of the Quasi Star Region, Zhong Yue’s body shivered for a split second as the tearing force acted on his Yuan Shen, trying to pull his soul out of his body!
“Senior Martial Brother Mo Yuanlie.” Zhong Yue looked up and saw Mo Yuanlie, he smirked coldly and said, “You want my soul? Then, you’ve really underestimated me!”
Mo Yuanlie was shocked, he quickly cast the Million Demons Banner again while Zhong Yue’s body shivered another time. But his soul and spirit were still perfectly intact, not moved by the Million Demons Banner at all.
Seeing this, Mo Yuanlie’s face changed drastically, Even Imperial Emperors cannot resist my Million Demons Banner! My teacher, Innate Demon Monarch, has forged this demon banner himself. All the postnate living beings will have their souls sucked into my banner. The Million Demons Banner is effective even against Imperial Emperors but a monarch-level Yuan Shen is out of its league! Could it be that his soul was equivalent to that of a monarch? Nevermind that, a monarch-level Yuan Shen doesn’t boost your prowess much at this level!
He cast the Million Demons Banner and lunged toward Zhong Yue at the deepest part of the Quasi Star Region!
The Million Demons Banner wasn’t just an innate divine weapon specifically targeted on the souls, it was also a sharp weapon and strong shield. The demon lights from the Million Demons Banner clashed with the quasi star sword rays and protected Mo Yuanlie as he traveled deeper.
With the distance between them shortening, Mo Yuanlie’s shock grew heavier. The deeper he went, the more the quasi star sword rays, and the stronger they were. Even his Million Demons Banner above his head was starting to shake.
As the demon divine weapon forged by Innate Demon Monarch, its prowess was extremely strong, not any weaker than the monarch weapons. But even the banner was now shaken by the quasi star sword rays. He couldn’t help but wonder how Zhong Yue defended himself from the quasi star sword rays.
“Senior Martial Brother Yuanlie, do you want to know how strong the Quasi Star Region actually is?”
Suddenly, Zhong Yue stood up and slowly raised his hand. Then, the Innate Lake Dao that was waltzing around him twined itself on his arm like a dragon.
It wasn’t the Innate Lake Dao he has cultivated but the one that was nurtured in the Quasi Star Region by nature.
Mo Yuanlie was still moving toward him with the Million Demons Banner above his head, he smiled, “Oh? How strong is the Quasi Star Region?”
“I don’t know either,” Zhong Yue shook.
Then, a clear bright smile radiated across his face as he said, “That’s why I wanted to test it on you, senior martial brother. Go!”
