After quite some time, sparks flashed across the eyes of the Heaven Realm Lord and just when he was about to say something, the Realm Lord of the Prison Realm praised, “Nice saber.”

  The timing of that comment couldn’t have been better; as soon as the Heaven Realm Lord wanted to dwell into the matter of Zhong Yue killing Wu Yangsheng, the Prison Realm’s Realm Lord interference stymied his momentum.

  If the Heaven Realm Lord wanted to say something still, he would have to deal with the power of Dao hidden in Prison Realm’s Realm Lord’s words and that would result in a hidden battle between the two Realm Lords. That was something that the Heaven Realm Lord would rather avoid

  The Realm Lord of Prison Realm was infamous in the Six Path World; he was known as the thug of thugs, robber of robbers, and had countless wives and children.

  As soon as the Prison Realm’s Realm Lord said this out, everyone immediately agreed with what he said.

  What is a divine saber?

  That was a divine saber!

  With terrifying ability, he calculated his opponent’s every possible move and saw through his opponent’s weak points before they could even attack; what made Wu Yangsheng feel that his skills were being nullified was Zhong Yue’s saber presence that seemed to prevade all of his techniques and cut them apart.

  Retreat was also not an option either or he would be decapitated by the overwhelming sword presence, thus, he had to continue moving forward.

  From the view of the others around them, it was like Wu Yangsheng purposely moved his head forward for Zhong Yue to cut, but this silent battle was even more stunning than a loud and eye-catching one!

  Zhong Yue’s divine saber was indeed a fearsome!

  “Now, the saber of the Evil God Zhong is no longer something to be taken lightly of,” murmured King Geng.

  Once, he had effortlessly destroyed Zhong Yue’s [God Slaying Three Styles]. He knew Zhong Yue’s weaknesses and the arrangement of Zhong Yue’s power. In this field, he was an expert.

  The Innate Galaxy Spirit Body’s power was quite varied, thus, he was able to see through the weak spots of all skills.

  But now, the skill Zhong Yue had used to kill Wu Yangsheng was still the second move in the [God Slaying Three Styles], [Moon Tide], but King Geng realized that the difficulty of nullifying this skill had skyrocketed.

  Zhong Yue had merged his skills with the divine calculatory technique he had created, and if his opponent wanted to destroy Zhong Yue’s skills, that person would have to be able to win against Zhong Yue in the calculations. However, there was barely anyone in the Six Paths World capable of doing this!

  Even if there were someone, he would have to spend a great deal of time and effort investing into the art of calculation which would invariably detract from their time in cultivation. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue’s strength ranked among the top of all Qi Practitioners in the Six Paths World. Even if there were someone as good as him in calculation, that person would be killed by Zhong Yue in one strike because of the huge gulf in strength.

  And those with superior strength were not as good as Zhong Yue in calculation, which was why Zhong Yue managed to amaze everyone.

  This attack had also granted him the name of the divine saber!

  King Geng also secretly admitted that he was not as good as Zhong Yue in calculations and the only way he could destroy Zhong Yue’s attack was through brute force!

  “My lord, how do I win against this man’s saber?” asked a lady who was standing next to a young man in purple robe.

  This young man had a very noble presence that not even the Heaven Realm Lord could measure up to.

  “If you want to beat him, you musn’t give him time to do his calculations! He would require time to do his calculations, strike at him with quick attacks and his calculations will not be able to be carried out.”

  Those under the Heaven Realm Lord’s lead nodded upon his reply; one way to defeat Zhong Yue’s calculation was through absolute power, and another method was what the young man said, which was to not give Zhong Yue the opportunity to carry out his calculations.

  “This human is an Innate Sun and Moon Twin Spirit Body. Only the Heaven Realm, Earth Realm and Celestial Realm would possess this kind of spirit body. Why is there such innate spirit body in the Prison Realm?”

  The purple robed young man was very confused. His pupils quickly turned purple as he stared at Zhong Yue, “There are barely any innate spirit bodies within the Prison Realm. How is that possible that there is be double innate spirit body in one person? This man should be watched out for no matter what. Apart from this man, King Geng is also another formidable opponent! He is the strongest in the Prison Realm and although he was defeated by my father, he is still someone we should be wary of. If I can slay him, I believe that I will be able to gain my father’s favor.”

  Previously, Wu Yangsheng attacked because of this young man’s persuasion. Under the order of the young man, Wu Yangsheng attacked King Geng to deliver a strike on King Geng’s confidence.

  Thus, Zhong Yue had humiliated him as well when he killed Wu Yangsheng.

  Wu Yangsheng was the Golden Crow Celestial Race’s disciple… Hmmm, let’s just let them to deal with this Zhong Yue.

  The young man thought.

  Zhong Yue on the other hand, felt that this young man was staring at him and the confused Zhong Yue asked, “Brother, who is this man?”

  Brother….

  King Geng was very unhappy and he answered unwillingly, “The purplish pupils and godly rays that brimmed within is the trait of the current Realm Monarch’s family, he is definitely one of his children. The Realm Monarch has twenty four children and most of them are already on the level of gods. Princess Dan Yang and Prince Yun He however, are still very young and they are not gods yet. This purple robe young man is most probably Prince Yun He, the twenty fourth child of the Realm Monarch.”

  The Realm Lord of Heaven Realm coughed and said, “Realm Lord Fa, we were here under the order of the Realm Monarch to select ten Heaven Realm Qi Practitioners to participate in the Six Paths Competition. But now, one of them has already been killed by your man before the battle even started. I fear that I can’t let him get away just like that….”

  Without even letting him to finish, Prison Realm’s Realm Lord intervened and said, “Come on. They were just playing. Just like what Realm Lord Hua said, they are still young and energetic. It’s nothing since they are just playing with each other.”

  The expression of Heaven Realm Lord darkened and he said, “It’s fine if they were playing but now, the life of the Heaven Realm disciple is gone now and I fear that the Realm Monarch will punish us….”

  “No, he won’t. Wu Yangsheng is not as good as Zhong Yue and he will be killed for sure if he ran into Zhong Yue in the battle. Since he was always doomed to die, it doesn’t matter if it was slightly sooner now,” said Prison Realm’s Realm Lord.

  Prison Realm’s Realm Lord then said again, “Do you want me to help Wu Yangsheng say something in Hell? I can help him be reborn into Prison Realm and I will give him a best life! To be honest, I think I need one more son. Ha! Making him my son is not a bad idea!”

  The Heaven Realm Lord’s face turned black immediately; the Prison Realm’s Realm Lord had seventy thousand children and if Wu Yangsheng were to be reborn as his child, Wu Yangsheng might as well kill himself again!

  “No matter what, I will report this to the Realm Monarch to seek for justice!” said the Heaven Realm Lord strictly as he left with his men.

  “What’s wrong with being my son? Look at how angry you are.”

  The Prison Realm Lord shrugged for he did not give a damn at all and he looked at Zhong Yue and said, “Let’s go!”

  Zhong Yue and the others followed quickly and suddenly, the voice of the Prison Realm Lord sounded in his mind, “Brat, I protected you not because I like your talent! You killed my beloved son and you will not get away easily for this! But because of the person behind you, I protected you. If you
dare to cause any more of a ruckus, I will not be able to defend you anymore!”

  Zhong Yue immediately thanked the Prison Realm Lord who immediately shouted back, “Thank your ass! I will temporarily stop dwelling on the matter where you killed my son but you must put in a good word for me to the person behind you.”

  The Realm Lord murmured, “Old Man Hua will not let this go that easily so he will definitely report this to the Realm Monarch and have him execute you to maintain order. I guess I will have to step up for you again and because of me, the Realm Monarch will most probably try to keep things in a more secretive way. However, you must not cause any more trouble before the major competition begins. What do you think the Heaven Realm is? The Heaven Realm is where the strongest celestial races stay, and there are just way too many people that I don’t even dare to provoke. There are even some of these families here that have been there ever since ancient times and even the Realm Monarch would have to pay respect to them! If you cause any more trouble, I really can’t help you anymore!”

  Zhong Yue pretended to listen earnestly on the outside but he was very happy on the inside.

  Seems like my progress in the Ancient Land of Gods Grave was not slow at all. I am able to compete with these guys from the Heaven Realm.

  He shut himself in the Song Realm for hundred and ten years and apart from trying to regain his “previous” body through studying the Six Path Reincarnations and cultivating the Innate True Soul, he was focusing on perfecting his [God Slaying Three Styles].

  He truly did not have much confidence in the [God Slaying Three Styles] he tried to perfect for more than a hundred years and he was also trying to see how much he had achieved throughout these years by competing with Wu Yangsheng.

  The power of [Moon Tide] has been identified and I will need a stronger opponent to test the power of my [Sun Burst] and [Dao Crusher]!

  Meanwhile, Celestial Emperor Ai Shan led them into a palace and arranged a place for them to rest. And while their rooms were scattered around everywhere, the Realm Lord of Prison Realm stayed at the palace at the centre. After arranging a place for everyone to stay, Celestial Emperor Ai Shan said, “Please excuse me as I attend to some other matters.”

  The Realm Lord sent him off and not long later, some other gods came forth and said, “Realm Lord Fa, you have been summoned.”

  “Understood.”

  He got up and left as he thought, This Old Man Hua, he really gets frustrated easily. Never expected that he would report it so fast to the Realm Monarch. Sigh… Seems like it’s time I use the relationship between me and the Realm Monarch to settle this matter.

  King Geng on the other hand, brought Jun Wudao and Yu Bochuan and the others to came looking for Zhong Yue and he said, “Ah… Heaven Realm…. it has been a long time. I suppose I’m familiar with this place and since you helped me again, I must thank you. I’ve brought along some old friends and let me introduce them to you. They might be a great help in the future should you need them.”

  Zhong Yue, however, hesitated and replied, “But the Realm Lord asked me to behave more and try not to cause anymore trouble….”

  King Geng burst out laughing immediately and he said, “The Heaven Realm was once under my rule. My power is rooted deeply in this place. Whether it be any noble or huge family, they will all give me some face! You can throw your worries away. I will settle them for you!”

  Chapter 700: The Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud |

  Zhong Yue cast aside his worries immediately upon hearing King Geng’s words. As the former ruler, it was likely that the foundation of his rule, and thus his influence, was still intact here.

  Judging from what King Geng said, he was probably going to introduce some of his men to Zhong Yue. His reasons for doing was twofold: first, he wanted to show off his power and second, he wanted to recruit Zhong Yue and the others.

  Apart from Zhong Yue, there were also a few from the Prison Realm that were invited by King Geng.

  The Lesser Void Heavenly Saint Realm was the place where the Realm Monarch’s bloodline gathered and those who lived here were either extremely rich or powerful. This made this place a place teeming with royalty. Huge inns were everywhere and they were all luxuriously decorated and the place where King Geng organized the feast was the Inn of Heavenly Treasures, the best among all inns. When everyone seated themselves, they realized the seats were so high up that when they looked up, they could see the sun, moon and galaxy easily and everything beneath them when they looked down.

  King Geng laughed and said, “I’ve spread news and my men will arrive in no time. In fact, these men are all famous people and back in those days, only people like them are qualified to be invited by me!”

  He was very proud of himself. After all, he was the brother of the current Realm Monarch, the second in place in the Heaven Court and a person with great power.

  Everyone present continued to enjoy the wine and they patiently waited in the inn where the dragon carvings on the pillars and roof were actual dragons.

  The guest flow in the inn was very high as well and among the guests, most of them were all gods with terrifying power. And occasionally, there were even celestial emperors and demon emperors among them.

  These guests were all people with fame and power and they were here in hope of gaining the friendship of those of the bloodline of Realm Monarch. Thus, though it would take quite a fortune to organize a feast here, there were still generous people that wouldn’t bat an eye at all when they organize a grand and luxury feast for their guests.

  “There are a total of eighteen of them that I invited. These gods and demonic gods are given the title of the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud. Among them are Qian Shan, Bi Er, Tuo Yu, Duo Yi, Shen Guang and the others. There were also Heavenly King Lu, one of the four Heavenly Kings, who is also one of the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud!”

  King Geng added, “Unlike the others or Heavenly King Shang that have some little to no friendship with me, these guys are extremely loyal me. Heavenly King Shang is like a grass that would bend against the will of the wind, he had sided himself with the current Realm Monarch ever since my defeat. My brother had passed away and after my defeat, only these men remained loyal to me. While they are my subordinates, they are my brother’s troops, and only they will never betray me.”

  Zhong Yue, Li Tianxing and the others were so shocked by the news; they never thought that King Geng still had eighteen gods that remained loyal to him. It was no wonder everyone still called him King Geng!

  Shu Ye, however, remained silent and continued drinking the wine in his cup.

  Heavenly King Shang was his teacher and when King Geng said that Heavenly King Shang was a man whose allegiance changed with the wind, all he could do was take in the criticism.

  “Twenty fourth prince, what a rare customer. Welcome!”

  Suddenly, noises came from below and King Geng’s pupils shrunk right away. He looked towards the bottom level only to see Prince Yun He walking right into Inn of Heavenly Treasures while surrounded by gods and Qi Practitioners.

  The shopkeeper led Prince Yun He and his followers all the way up into Inn of Heavenly Treasures and arranged for them seats not too far away from King Geng and the others.

  The two then exchanged glances and after they stopped making eye contact, their expression darkened down slightly.

  “My prince, may I ask for our purpose here?” A Heaven Realm Qi Practitioner asked as he looked at Zhong Yue fiercely, “Are we here to avenge Wu Yangsheng and kill this petty human?”

  Prince Yun He however, grinned and said, “Be patient, we are here to witness a great show.”

  Beside him stood nine Qi Practitioners and after they seated themselves, the gods around them remained standing as they served the Qi Practitioners, which suggested that these Qi Practitioners were most definitely disciples that had come from gigantic families with great power.

  After Wu Yangsheng was killed by Zhong Yue, only nine of t
hem remained, but now, the Realm Lord of Heaven Realm had replaced the missing slot with another candidate to fill up the ranks, thus, there were still ten of them.

  After all, the Heaven Realm was a place that produced a great number of talented Qi Practitioners as people with the greatest and strongest bloodline in the Six Paths World were born here. Hence, just how hard was it for them to get another person that is not any weaker than Wu Yangsheng?

  Prince Yun He then threw out some scrolls and he said, “Here is the information about the ten Qi Practitioners in the Prison Realm which include their techniques, soul weapons, arts, and everything. Read them and learn as much as you can about them to gain an upper hand against them.”

  The nine other Qi Practitioners were surprised and happy and one of the ladies among them said, “Impressive! You are indeed an impressive!”

  Prince Yun He smiled and said, “With just a simple order, I can easily buy over their masters, senior martial brothers and sisters of theirs. Be it the Prison Realm, Heaven Realm, or Celestial Realm, I can obtain their information as long as I want to.”

  “These guys are so dead!” said the Qi Practitioners of the Heaven Realm.

  They did not lower their voice at all and when their words reached the ears of Zhong Yue and the others, they all frowned upon the fact that Prince Yun He could easily bribe their masters and senior martial siblings to obtain the secrets of their arts!

  King Geng humphed and said calmly, “Don’t worry. As long as my men arrive, they would not be so arrogant anymore. With Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud’s training, you will all go through a series of vein washing, have your body and Yuan Shen reforged and your energy refined and these will boost your strength in a short period of time!”

  Zhong Yue and the others were moved and they were all invigorated upon thinking of this.

  King Geng smiled and added, “Besides, with my power in the Heaven Realm, what he can get I can get easily as well. In no time, you will receive the information about these fools. The outcome of the battle has yet to be decided!”
