Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief when the three left. Then, he looked up to the sky with a stern face.
It wasn’t him who killed Shen Xiage nor was it Great Si Ming; it was the Heavenly Dao, Heaven’s power.
Back in the Space Bottle, he had Shen Xiage, Feng Yuhuan, and Xie Yang vow to [Tian Yin], the skill of the 14th Drawing of Heavenly Daos. The vow was not made to him, but to the Heavenly Daos.
The vow was not easy to do, it was only possible because Zhong Yue had mastered a Heavenly Dao’s skill. In turn, if it were someone who didn’t know a Heavenly Dao’s skill like him, the vow to the Heavenly Daos wouldn’t even work at all.


Fortunately, as he had studied and cultivated a Heavenly Dao’s skill, the vows Shen Xiage, Feng Yuhuan, and Xie Yang had made to the Heavenly Daos were considered effective; thus, the happening of the vow abnormalities and brandings.
So long as they dared to attack him, the Heavenly Daos would punish them for going against their vows!
Furthermore, the vow would follow them for the rest of their lives, even after they had become monarchs in the future. As long as they attacked Zhong Yue, the heavenly retribution would come for them!
Of course, it remained a question if they would be able to resist the heavenly retribution when they had become monarchs. Even Zhong Yue wasn’t sure if the Heavenly Daos’ punishment was able to kill the monarchs.
After all, he hadn’t seen it before, not even Xin Huo had heard of any monarchs getting killed by the Heavenly Daos’ powers.
As for Zhuo Ya, he was only scared away because of Shen Xiage’s death. Although he wanted Zhong Yue to die the most, he, as Yuan Ya Deity King’s disciple, was heavily exposed to Yuan Ya Deity King’s heartlessness. His intention to kill Zhong Yue was to mostly avenge the humiliation given to him.
But when the situation would threaten his very existence, he would naturally back off and leave.
Zhong Yue calmed himself, just when he was headed for the Imperial Star, his body suddenly stopped and so did the thousand-winged ancient warship. His cultivation, arcane energy, Yuan Shen, and muscles were unable to move!
It was as if time had stopped. Such was the result of an abundantly strong arcane energy and an unimaginably powerful skill. It was in a league beyond the Heavenly Monarchs!
Even Zhong Yue’s thoughts were slowed, struggling to think as he thought, Yuan Ya Deity King is here!


This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, as if numerous forces were squeezing him from all sides, squishing on his mortal body, Daos, arcane energy, psyche, Yuan Shen, and even his mind.
His thoughts slowed drastically, and with it, so did his reactions. His mortal body was slow to move, his Daos, arcane energy, and psyche were reacting tardily to his thoughts, preventing him from casting skills and divine weapon. The slowing down of his Yuan Shen pushed him a step further toward death!
To be able to control so many forces and stop him in so many aspects, including the thousand-winged ancient warship, it could only be the Yuan Ya Deity King, who has cultivated the Innate Mountain Dao!
The Innate Mountain Dao’s core idea was the element of immutability while its presentation was endless changes. Thus, as one who had completely mastered the Innate Mountain Dao’s power, Yuan Ya Deity King was able to easily stop Zhong Yue on the spot before even arriving at the scene!
This was something he had never taught his disciples, not even Zhuo Ya!
If Zhuo Ya were taught the Innate Mountain Dao, he would be able to pin Zhong Yue down on the ground and capture him with ease.
Zhong Yue was completely stopped on the thousand-winged ancient ship. Then, he saw the space before him suddenly open as if a huge needle was protruding out from a piece of metal. The distorted dimensions rolled to the side as the deformation grew larger and bigger.
Naturally, it wasn’t a needle that caused it, but Yuan Ya Deity King’s aura that had pierced through the dimensions.
In a despairing silence, an old man with a slightly hunched back walked out of the distorted dimension. He carried no mortal air and had no sense of wordly air.
He was Yuan Ya Deity King.



What a tiger I have raised. How dare you kill in my homeground.

Yuan Ya Deity King walked toward him. In Zhong Yue’s eyes, the universe was toppled upside down as if the rules and laws of the universe’s operation were rewritten!
Yuan Ya Deity King was unimaginably strong, he was on a whole new level to any other experts Zhong Yue had ever met, not even the monarchs could compare to him.
A monarch wasn’t even fit to describe Yuan Ya Deity King’s level, his level was the closest to the Dao Gods, a level where it felt like he could rewrite and reform the Daos of the universe!

My homeground is not something you can toy with. But since you have, then pay the price with your life.

Yuan Ya Deity King continued walking toward him. Zhong Yue could feel the shuddering dimensions around him, collapsing and disintegrating into the smallest atoms. Even his mortal body and Yuan Shen were trembling as well.
It was a desperate gap between them. While he was still chasing after stronger skills and deeper attainments in Daos, Yuan Ya Deity King was already peeking into the very foundation of the Daos, the very fundamentals of the universe!

Yuan Ya, let’s let the little ones to settle among themselves.

All of a sudden, a thick voice filled with the vicissitudes of life said,
You are one who breeds the fish, a fish farmer; so why get yourself wet as a fish in the pond? You only cared for your reputation, never your disciples, so why take the risks?

Yuan Ya Deity King’s body shivered, he slowly looked up and receded backward. The voice belonged to Great Si Ming and scared him away from making any moves. Great Si Ming’s Dao voice alone had killed his incarnations, he couldn’t help but raise his vigilance!


After all, he was one of the ancient Deity Kings that betrayed Great Si Ming. Now that Great Si Ming was back, there was no way he could let their betrayals slide!
Alone, Yuan Ya Deity King dared not stand against Great Si Ming.

Hehehe, Great Si Ming, what can you still do even when you’ve returned now? The cosmos is not what it was before. The progressions of skills, arts and techniques are beyond the imagination of your time.

Yuan Ya Deity King was moving backward while saying casually,
You were the strongest, the most powerful one, no ever stood on par with you. But now, there are many who surpassed you, even I am no weaker than you anymore.

Great Si Ming’s voice disappeared, there was no reply.
Yuan Ya Deity King moved further away, he was smiling,
In this cosmos, you are no longer invincible. I wasn’t qualified to be a match to you, but I am on par with you now. But you are right, a fish farmer should stay on land, I shouldn’t wet myself in the pond and demote myself into a fish.

Great Si Ming didn’t answer still.
Yuan Ya Deity King moved back again, he continued,
Today is still not the time to battle with you yet. Great Si Ming, one day in the future, I will let you have a taste of the new era’s cultivation.

Great Si Ming still didn’t reply.
Yuan Ya Deity King turned slightly awkward. Clearly, Great Si Ming wasn’t here anymore and he was only conversing with a blank space, talking to nothing but air.


However, he wouldn’t go after Zhong Yue anymore as it was clear that Great Si Ming was using Zhong Yue as a chesspiece against him and the rest of the old fools. Great Si Ming wouldn’t allow them to kill Zhong Yue. If he tried to kill Zhong Yue now, Great Si Ming would definitely step in to stop him. By then, no matter if he could kill Great Si Ming or not, he would definitely be severely wounded in the battle with him.
Hence, if that was the case, why not just leave in peace instead.
Furthermore, Great Si Ming wasn’t wrong. His disciples and descendants were never his concern at all, he only cared for his own face and reputation. Since killing Zhong Yue would bring more damage to himself, it’s wiser for him to not kill him.
Zhong Yue could feel the burden lifting off his shoulders all of a sudden, as if he was allowed to breathe again.
It was so terrifying, way too terrifying!
The gap between him and Yuan Ya Deity King wasn’t even measurable at all!
It’s a whole new league, even Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, Mu Xiantian, and the monarchs are not in his league!
Zhong Yue shook. Great Si Ming was an exceptional paragon who was able to force the Yuan Ya Deity King to back off, but even he hadn’t returned to his peak prowess yet. He was only using his remaining prestige to make Yuan Ya Deity King stand down. But if Yuan Ya Deity King found out Great Si Ming wasn’t in his peak form, things wouldn’t be the same anymore.
The thousand-winged ancient ship sailed into the Imperial Star’s borders and continued toward the Heaven Breaching Fortress by the riverside.
Imperial Star is in constant war for 30 years, the races’ prowess are impaired. If the situation goes on further, there would be monarch races that will get wiped out. It’s time to have King Zi Guang persuade the races to surrender or form alliances!
Rays flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes as he looked at the chaotic Imperial Star, he thought, King Zi Guang handles all of Xian Tian Palace’s information and intelligence, his involvement in persuading and proposing alliance with the races will be most effective.
Then, he quickly wrote a letter to Mu Xiantian to have King Zi Guang involved in the mission. Soon after, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian replied,
Months ago, King Zi Guang entered the Imperial Star. King Yi doesn’t have to worry about it. There will be good news from King Zi Guang in no time. King Yi, are things ready for the final battle with Heaven Court? On a side note, I want King Yi to send Yan Sovereign on his way as early as possible.

Zhong Yue dismissed the messenger and had him report back to Mu Xiantian, stating that everything was under control.
Meanwhile, a stalwart figure appeared in front of Dark Monarch’s Dao palace. The stalwart figure’s eyes were extremely bright as if there were billions of suns burning in them.

Dark Monarch, I know you are in there. You sealed me for so long and here I am now, why are you hiding in your cave not making a sound?
Yan Xing Deity King’s aura brewed even more vigorous, he sneered coldly,
You’ve wasted me a million years, made me missed many good stuff! If I wasn’t sealed for the past million years, I’d not be far from the Dao God level now. I would have also opened the seventh secret realm! Come out and meet me, if you don’t, I will reduce your Dark Monarch Dao Palace into ruins!

The more he said, the angrier he grew. The Dao kids in the Dark Monarch Dao Palace were terrified, they fled in all directions without the bravery to stop him.
Yan Xing Deity King’s aura rumbled and brewed stronger as he walked toward the palace gates. The closer he got, the stronger the killing intent that brewed within him. It was at this moment, a soft laughter could be heard, it said,
Yan Xing Deity King, you couldn’t defeat him a million years ago, let alone a million years later now. Your cultivation had been delayed for a million years while his cultivation had never stopped progressing for a million years. He is only half a step from the level of Dao Gods. You’ll do nothing but shame yourself for challenging him, so why still do it?

Yan Xing Deity King looked over and saw an old turtle making its way toward him, he sneered coldly,
King Xiang, so it’s you. You are not a good guy either! King Xiang, are you here to stop me?

The old turtle shook, he smiled,
I’m only here to tell you not to piss off Dark Monarch. Yan Xing, if you have the time, why don’t you come by my place and visit?
