  The young man looked at him and replied, “They merely said something bad and you destroyed their mind just for that. That is just too cruel. Besides, now that you’ve talked back to me, am I supposed to destroy your heart and mind?”

  Upon having saying what he wanted to say, he unleashed his power and locked onto Ju Ying. Everything before Ju Ying was replaced by a Six Paths Reincarnation and the young man walking towards him in the centre. As he drew closer and closer to Ju Ying, his body enlarged and he slowly turned into a nightmare that for Ju Ying.

  Ju Ying let out a cry and channeled his energy into his Six Paths Reincarnation but only to remain dwarfed by the young man.

  There’s no chance of winning!

  Ju Ying was just about to fully unleash the techniques and arts of his ancestors’ heritage to escape his opponent’s shadow, but a saber hummed clearly and the Six Path Reincarnation and the young man in Ju Ying’s eyes shattered instantly.

  Then, Ju Ying let out a breath and quickly retreated.

  “Not bad,” said the young man as he glanced at Ju Ying before he looking at the saber in Zhong Zue’s hand; it was Zhong Yue that flicked on his saber and created the saber hum that shattered his Qi lock on.

  “You destroyed the Dao heart of my junior martial brother and as much as I want to destroy yours, your strength is on the same level as mine, making it difficult for me to defeat you. Hence, I am going to destroy the Dao heart of your nine senior martial brothers and senior martial sisters instead. I wonder if you’d grant me my wish?”

  “You will die.” replied Zhong Yue with a eerily calm tone, “You move, you die.”

  The young man however, laughed and said, “You really are an arrogant one. The name’s Zhan Tianming. I come from the first Six Path World and I rank second in this world, only a rank lower than the prince, Prince Bo Di.”

  “Move and you will die,” said Zhong Yue firmly even after the young man revealed his identity.

  The two stared at each other and after some time, the young man smiled and shook his head as he turned around towards Hall of Martial Perform, “Why so serious? It’s not worth it if I hurled everything into the battle just to win against you. Even if I win, I will be injured greatly and that will greatly affect me in the upcoming battle, am I that stupid to you?”

  Suddenly, a horrendous presence was unleashed when he turned around again and his presence was directed towards Shi Yinji and the others like an overwhelming tornado.

  Zheng—

  Zhong Yue’s saber moved and he brushed shoulders with the young man; the haunting presence of shook the Qi Practitioners within Hall of Martial Perform and when they focused their attention on the duo, they saw a hurricane rampage through the surroundings.

  Blood dripped down from Zhong Yue’s mouth as he sheathed his saber while the young man turned around and said, “You fell for it….”

  His body shook and a saber cut gradually appeared on his forehead before his body fell onto the ground.

  Zhong Yue frowned and sighed before Ju Ying and the others walked up towards him while he said, “I’ve fallen for their trap and I might not be able to fight alongside you guys in the battle anymore. You have to be careful.”

  Ju Ying, Yu Bochuan and the others were all caught off guard and when they sought an answer from Zhong Yue, he shook his head and said nothing.

  At the same time, Realm Monarch Bo Luo grinned and with a clap, an officer got up to him and he ordered, “Go to Hell, have the judges there treat Zhan Tianming’s soul nicely and offer him a chance to reborn as my bloodline and become a prince in his next life.”

  Chapter 731: Unexpected |

  The officer bowed and left to execute the order.

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo heaved a long breath, he smirked and said, “Bo Di, it is now guaranteed that you will be the first and strongest of all Qi Practitioners in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds. Don’t blame me for eradicating your strongest opponent. I had to do it, because even you aren’t able to defeat him. I will not stain my reputation by taking a loss in the grand competition. Men!”

  Another officer stood forward and bowed, “My Majesty, what is the order for this humble one?”

  “Notify the Realm Monarchs of the Zi Geng, Yun Yang, Hu Kong, Tian Bin, and Fa Yuan Six Paths World—the Qi Practitioners of the Wei Shen Six Paths World have defied the rules of the competition and killed the competitors under the eyes of many.”

  “Understood, your majesty,” the officer bowed and left.

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo laid himself back in the throne while smiling, “This Zhong Yue is still too young and inexperienced. Crushing the other Qi Practitioners’ will before the battles has raised disastisfaction among the many Realm Monarchs. Although the Realm Monarchs of the Zi Kang Six Paths World, Yun Yang Six Paths World and another few would act just as a minor punishment; their actions would spark a collective agreement between the Realm Monarchs to pressure him. After all, he was far too great a threat to the Qi Practitioners of the other Six Paths Worlds. Realm Monarch Yunshan alone wouldn’t be able to go against all of the others to keep him participating in the grand competition.”

  He was confident. Although he also appreciated Zhong Yue’s talent, and saw him as a prodigy bound to meet him by fate, his still took his reputation and fame as being more important than Zhong Yue’s well-being.

  The Realm Monarchs had made Zhong Yue far too strong. In Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s eyes, Zhong Yue was just okay before that, he could definitely secure a place in the top ten of all the Qi Practitioners of the 3,000 Six Paths World. With his participation in the grand competition, the Wei Shen Six Paths World’s fate of always being the last could be changed.

  But little did he foreseen Zhong Yue to experience implausible improvements from listening to the talk in the Heavenly Cloud Violet Golden Pavilion. Not only that, after returning and digesting the remaining attainments, Zhong Yue’s power took another great leap again.

  Back then when Zhong Yue closed his eyes and released his aura on the few thousand Qi Practitioners, he easily crushed their battle will and spirit. Thus, Realm Monarch Bo Luo grew uncomfortable at his improvement and made a deal with Bo Luo Six Paths World’s second strongest Qi Practitioner, Zhan Tianming, that if he could taunt Zhong Yue and make the latter disqualified from the grand competition, he would be rewarded greatly.

  As for the Hall of Martial Perform, Zhong Yue realized that he was too conspicuous as well and knew he would be somehow plotted against in certain ways that would end in his disqualification.

  “But most importantly, if you are really throned as the strongest Qi Practitioner of all 3,000 Six Paths World, what do you think will happen to the fame of the renowned celestial races?” Realm Monarch Bo Luo lowered his voice, “After all, you are a human…”

  And indeed as he expected, the Realm Monarchs descended upon the Hall of Martial Perform. Under their magnificent aura, the Qi Practitioners felt themselves to no any stronger than the tiny ants.

  Suddenly, Realm Monarchs of the Zi Geng, Yun Yang, and Hu Kong Six Paths World condemned solemnly, “Qi Practitioner of the Wei Shen Six Paths World, whose heart is filled with evil thoughts, crushing the will of your opponents before the grand competition even starts…you have the blackest heart of all!”

  As they denounced Zhong Yue, the crowd plunged into a huge clamor. The rest of the Realm Monarchs, Heavenly Kings, court officers, and generals all looked toward the direction where the Qi Practitioners of the Wei Shen Six Paths World stood.

  Zhong Yue’s heart sank, but he chose to remain silent.

  Whereas Realm Monarch Yunshan sneered, “My fellow Daoists, what do you all mean? Are you suggesting that we stand quietly and let the other Qi Practitioners bully and spit on us? Do you think that the Wei Shen Six Paths World has to bear or even enjoy the shame forced upon us?”

  The Tuo Shan Six Paths World’s Realm Monarch snickered, “No one ever said you can’t fight back. But crushing the battle wills of over a thousand Qi Pract
itioners and subsequently planted a shadowy nightmare in their future culivation, that’s unacceptable in any way! Moreover, that human from your Wei Shen Six Paths World killed Bo Luo’s Six Paths World’s Zhan Tianming. This is purely outrageous!”

  Bo Luo Six Paths World’s Zhan Tianming? Realm Monarch Yunshan was shocked and immediately understood everything. The expression on his face changed rapidly; suddenly, he sighed and said, “Zhong Yue, you are at fault for breaking your peers’ battle will; but on top of that, you shouldn’t have killed Zhan Tianming and broken the rules of the grand competition! Now the mistake is on you, I won’t be able to protect you anymore. Realm Monarch Bo Luo, my fellow Daoists, Zhong Yue is new to the competition, please go easy on him, for me.”

  Zhong Yue, Ju Ying, Yu Bochuan and the others immediately grew disappointed at Realm Monarch Yunshan’s decision. Shi Yinji even sneered coldly right on the spot.

  The Realm Monarchs exchanged a look, they said, “Since Daoist Yunshan has spoken for him, then we will of course not break our friendship. What do you think, Realm Monarch Bo Luo?”

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo sighed, “It is understandable that the young ones are rather more impulsive at times. Then, that’ll be it.”

  Realm Monarch Yunshan heaved a breath of relief, he laughed and said to Zhong Yue, “Why aren’t you thanking the Realm Monarchs for sparing your life?”

  Zhong Yue chuckled while whispering to himself, “Acting like you all dared to lay a finger on me anyway…”

  Although it was nearly inaudible, the Realm Monarchs had clearly heard what he said.

  Immediately after, Zhong Yue laughed and bowed, “I thank the seniors for letting me off!”

  The Realm Monarchs frowned for a split second but immediately smiled again, “It is good that you are able to realize your mistakes.”

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo faked a dry cough before saying gently, “Little friend, do not put what has happened into your heart. Now, come to me, I have something to talk to you about.”

  A court officer came over and lead Zhong Yue to Realm Monarch Bo Luo.

  “Wait for a moment,” Realm Monarch Bo Luo said to him, then turned to the other Realm Monarchs. “My friends, do continue with the grand competition while I have a short conversation with our little friend here.”

  He stood up and walked out of the Hall of Martial Perform while Zhong Yue was lifted by an auspicious cloud that followed Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s trail.

  Soon, they exited the Hall of Martial Perform and stopped in a garden. Crystal clear water flowed in the river beside them and the mists around the waterfall added an elegant air to the picturesque scene.

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo sat on a golden chair, then laughed and said, “Little Friend Zhong, are you discontent with my decisions?”

  Zhong Yue asked curiously, “On what exactly and also why, Realm Monarch?”

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo laughed, “You are smart, of course you know what and why.”

  Zhong Yue kept quiet.

  Whereas Realm Monarch Bo Luo continued, “If you become the first of all 3,000 Six Paths World’s Qi Practitioners, the other races will have their reputation trampled in the dirt. Have you ever thought through it? Furthermore, you are a human, participating and appearing in the grand competition will bring the attention of the Zi Wei Galaxy. Not only would the grand competition do no good for you, it will even bring troubles. Yes, your suspicion is right, I ordered Zhan Tianming to taunt you, I commanded him to die in your hands. But all of it, I am doing it for your own good.”

  Zhong Yue was startled.

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo smiled as he continued, “There was a rule passed down from the ancient days—the humans are forbidden to cultivate and leave the Prison Realms. Although as time passed, not many of the Realm Monarchs actually cared about it anymore, there will always be those that do. The highest tree bears the strongest breeze. I think I don’t have to explain to you what it means, do I?”

  Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat, Fa Zhaozhen had told him that the Prison Realm was built to imprison the humans. But now hearing Realm Monarch Yunshan, he realized that the rule was much more stringent than he thought, not only were the humans imprisoned eternally, they were also forbidden from cultivating!

  And according to Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s words, the ancient rule had come directly from the Zi Wei Galaxy!

  Of course, Realm Monarch Bo Luo wasn’t as great as he sounded when he said he prohibited Zhong Yue in the grand competition. However, it was still true that if Zhong Yue become the first and strongest of all Qi Practitioners in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, the Zi Wei Galaxy would be alerted!

  “Although I’ve stripped you off from the grand competition, I still appreciate a talent like you.” Realm Monarch Bo Luo said, “After all, fate has brought you to me. I was in the wasted star and saw you cultivating the Great Sun Golden Crow. There, I found you casting my race’s skill, even though lack of practice, it is still one of my race’s skill.”

  “Your race’s skill?” Zhong Yue was curious, he pondered deeply but failed to relate any of the skills he knew to Realm Monarch Bo Luo. He asked, “My I ask, what is your race, Realm Monarch?”

  “The innate demons.” Realm Monarch answered casually, “I am from the Great Sun Demon Crow, while you cultivate the Great Sun Golden Crow in addition to the demon cultivation base in you, that’s why I favored you a lot. However, that is not why I have given you the scale; there are countless living beings cultivating the Great Sun Golden Crow, if I favor all of them and give them a scale, I’d be scaleless then. The only reason I did so was because of my ancestor!”

  “My name is Dao Ming, meaning the light of Dao from the Golden Crow. But Dao is not my surname, my surname is Bo, passed down from my grand ancestor, Bo Xun, an innate demon god! The blood that flows in our veins is the blood of the innate demon god. We, the Great Sun Demon Crow, hold one of the most pretigious bloodines in the world!”

  He looked at the dumbfounded Zhong Yue, and laughed happily, “Fate has determined that you shall acquire a skill from my race. The Great Sun Golden Crow, the demon cultivation base, the Great Sun Demon Crow’s skills you’ve learn, all of these brought you to my attention. Otherwise, you’d be long dead already.”

  Zhong Yue was stunned, his mind was utterly blank.

  Bo Xun!

  That Bo Xun he met!

  The innate demon god Bo Xun who was killed by the last Xin Huo inheritor!

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo was Bo Xun’s descendant!

  Zhong Yue was dumbfounded, he didn’t know what to do. He did acquire part of Bo Xun’s cultivation heritage, but that was just Bo Xun’s totem patterns Zhong Yue gleaned out from Demon Saint’s [Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art].

  No wonder Realm Monarch Bo Luo would say Zhong Yue has visualized him and learned his race’s skill!

  Realm Monarch was a Great Sun Golden Crow himself, and his race’s skill referred to the [Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art], which was also where Zhong Yue’s demonc cultivation base came from!

  No wonder Xin Huo would say the blood on Bo Luo’s scale was strange but failed to recognize it. Bo Xun was an innate demon god whose blood was seen before by Xin Huo, while Realm Monarch Bo Luo was a prenate god whose blood was much different than his ancestor’s!

  But… but… His ancestor was killed by the last Xin Huo inheritor, and Xin Huo is now with me. But I’m merely half an inheritor… Zhong Yue’s scalp tingled as he thought.

  If only he could outrun Realm Monarch Bo Luo, he would stay galaxies away and never meet Realm Monarch Bo Luo anymore!

  But unfortunately he couldn’t.

  The shock on Zhong Yue’s face suddenly disappeared, he then smiled happily and bowed, “No wonder, no wonder! I was just doubting everything seconds ago thinking that Realm Monarch was plotting something big on me. Now that I’ve heard this, I am relieved! To be honest, I was indeed unhappy with Realm Monarch’s decisions, that I nearly told the goddess to help me. But it now seems like I ha
ve misunderstood everything!”

  In just a few sentences, Zhong Yue voiced his unhappiness, cleared Realm Monarch’s dissatisfaction, as well as quietly threatened Realm Monarch Bo Luo with Goddess Shen Hou’s name.

  Chapter 732: Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art |

  As for whether or not the Realm Monarch would buy it, he was absolutely clueless.

  This Realm Monarch was not someone to be underestimated; he was sly, cunning and extremely smart. If someone like him discovered the relationship between him and Xin Huo and the fact that he was even a Fuxi, then things would turn sour!

  Bo Xun’s descendant!

  Realm Monarch Bo Luo was the direct descendant of the innate demon god, Bo Xun!

  Whenever Zhong Yue thought of this, he couldn’t help but have goosebumps all over and sweated while his heart pounded rapidly. Fortunately, he managed to forcefully calmed himself down and prevented his abnormal status from being discovered by the Realm Monarch.

  On the other hand, the surprised Realm Monarch Bo Luo thought, I was merely telling him my origin and he mentioned that goddess? Hmmm, he must be trying to threaten me by mentioning her name so that I won’t harm him in any ways. But why did he do that even after I clearly told him that I am very fond of him?

  He glanced at Zhong Yue for a moment, causing the latter’s heart to tightened up as he realized that he was still very inexperienced; he shouldn’t have had mentioned Goddess Shen Hou for any weaknesses exposed in front of someone of the like as Realm Monarch Bo Luo would attract his attention.

  I can’t make any explanations now and I have to let him grow wary of my intention and make him confuse himself.

  Thought Zhong Yue as he stared at Realm Monarch Bo Luo with hope.

  Seeing this, Realm Monarch Bo Luo immediately cast aside his suspicious and thought, So that’s how it is. This little human is taking advantage of me and he is actually asking for benefits from me because he has the goddess to support him.
