  The Creators in the city heard him and didn’t dare to neglect his determination. They immediately restricted their clansmen that were swarming into the city. Every second, tens of thousands of gods were rushing toward them. Some ventured deeper into the city and some crawled on their Creators’ body.

  Chaos repleted the whole city, but with the help of the Creators restricting their clansmen, the overall situation turned out to be surprisingly fine.

  If these gods are taken under my command, they will be a huge power. But the same overbearing power in my hands will bring about far too many troubles, even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will start to become guarded against me. Zhong Yue frowned and looked at Yin Fanxuan. She was shuttling between the gates, beads of sweat were dripping down from the beautiful countenance. It was clear as crystal that she was running out of energy.

  She couldn’t hold much longer.

  Zhong Yue frowned, he returned to the ancient ship, taking out the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, and tucking the pearl into it.

  There were over hundreds of thousand gods in the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror. Including Old Man Six Paths, Shi Buyi, and the others who were cultivating in it. However, when they smelled the fragrance, they all lunged forward for the pearl almost immediately.

  Especially to the divine-herb-cultivators like Old Man Six Paths and Husan Weng, the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis was more than attractive to them, eating it was the only thought that had filled their hearts, minds, and souls!

  Zhong Yue kept the pearl in the maze and sealed the maze right after. Yet, the hundreds of thousands of gods were still crazily attacking the maze, trying to break through the seals; the lead attacker was of course, Old Man Six Paths.

  But fortunately, Zhong Yue was the controller of the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, he had showered the divine mirror’s power and energy to fortify the maze. No matter how hard the gods tried, they wouldn’t be able to break the seals at all.

  Being a guardian isn’t an easy job at all , Zhong Yue sighed and took out Xin Huo’s old abode—the shabby copper lamp. With a thought, the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror was kept inside of the copper lamp. He thought, Shi Buyi and the others will still be fine to remain crazy for some time. The worst it can get would just be some minor impairments to their Dao hearts. Now, I wonder how long the copper lamp and the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror will last…

  As such, the fragrance dispersed and Yin Fanxuan heaved a breath of relief. She stopped while panting heavily. These few days of nonstop casting the [Great Heavenly Demon Heart Suppressive Intonation], but thanks to that, there were no major ruckuses that occurred.

  “Dear, why do you still look as if you are worrying a lot?” Yin Fanxuan regained her breath and recovered some of her depleted energy. She saw Zhong Yue frowning and quickly asked, “Is it because of the lack of food and resources?”

  As of now, there were more than 20 million of gods remaining in the Heaven Suppressing Palace. Some of them were leaving but Zhong Yue never stopped them, allowing them to leave freely. Whereas some gathered around the Creators of their respective races, asking for protection and guidance.

  The 20 million gods were additional troubles to them. The Heaven Suppressing Prefecture already had 40 million gods, in addition to these 20 million, there would be 60 million of them already.

  Let’s not ask whether or not Zhong Yue’s subordinates were able to command all of these gods if they were taken into army. With these 60 million gods, they would use up a lot of spiritual energy and spiritual liquids, only suppliable by dozens of sacred lands together. It was simply impossible for the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture alone to provide 60 million gods as their daily spiritual resources!

  Despite this, Zhong Yue’s concern wasn’t in this matter, he shook and said, “The Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis’s fragrance has spread for who knows how far. I am now more worried about those that have picked up the scent, the strong experts will be able to trace it down to us. The usual ones are no major issues, my concern are the Imperial Emperors… As the guardian to the two brothers, can I really still protect Bi and An from the Imperial Emperors?”

  “You mean…” Yin Fanxuan shivered in cold, “There will be Imperial Emperors that come?”

  Zhong Yue nodded, “I wonder who will be the first to arrive… This is really a tough job! Men, heed my words! Shut all gates, stay vigilant, be on the defensive, and let no one into the stronghold! Fu Qizhi, Fu Yanshan, the two of you will keep the Imperial Emperors busy if they come!”

  A month went by, Fu Qizhi’s face changed drastically and he reported anxiously, “Lord, an Imperial Emperor has arrived!”

  Zhong Yue’s heart sterned up, and a loud voice rumbled into his ears just outside of the Star River, “Hahahaha, a friend far from home came to visit, King Yi, do you welcome me?”

  Zhong Yue looked over and saw a celestial being shrouded in waves and waves of godly rays walking toward the city, but stopped suddenly just right beside the river.

  “A true friend, if you are, I will surely welcome your arrival with open arms.” Zhong Yue gave a cold sneer and signaled Chi Song to activate the Stone Sentinel Maze while he continued, “But I am afraid that you, who have covered your body stature and hidden your face behind the blinding lights and not showing your trueself as you visit, is no friend to me!”

  After a long time of nurturing it, the Stone Sentinel Maze was now already a Creator-level weapon. A spatial dimension was forged within, and its power was elevated to a whole new level.

  At first, the Xian Tian Royal Guards numbered in a million gods but after raiding the many sacred lands, only some 80 million of them remained. However, Zhong Yue had been constantly recruiting the elites from the war captives into the Xian Tian Royal Guards. Thus, the Xian Tian Royal Guards now numbered in over 800 million of gods, and each and every one of them was equipped with a godly mount.

  The more gods, the stronger the Stone Sentinel Maze would be!

  When the Stone Sentinel Maze was cast out by the eight armies, its power surged enormously like 8 Creators. Then, the eight scrolls were merged into one, causing its power to increase dramatically!

  The celestial being’s face changed slightly, and suddenly, he dispersed the godly rays around him while laughing loudly, “King Yi, there is really no need for that. You and I, we’ve met before. Then, you weren’t able to see my true face; but now, I will show you myself.”

  As the godly rays dispersed, six light wheels were seen revolving behind the celestial being. He has nine tails and nine heads. The faces on the heads were different from one another, and there was an eye on each forehead, totaling up to 27 eyes.

  There were the faces of both males and females.

  One of the female head said casually, “I am a friend to the Imperial Emperor and fought closely alongside the Imperial Emperor back in the days. We are seven siblings, different kinds of blood flow in our veins. We are sworn siblings that live to help one another.”

  A male head continued, “I gave myself the name of Long Zhi, I am a new race founded after the Earth Order Era. Thus, I name my race as the Long Zhi Celestial Race.”

  “King Yi, you act as if you are war-prepped, forged the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture like an unbreakable stronghold. But all of these, the efforts you’ve made, you still won’t be able to stop me.”

  Another head laughed, “I stand as a peaked Imperial Emperor, the ordinary Imperial Emperors can’t even put up a match against me. Creators like you, I can reduce to ashes in just a snap of fingers. However, you are the Imperial Emperor’s kind, a trusted courtier, so I will not harm you and break the harmony between us.”

  Then another female head continued, “I picked up a fragrance, never once I have smelled something like this. It shook my mind and soul, in just a split second, I knew, I knew this would be the last strand of straw to will help me breakthrough to the level of Imperial Monarch. King Yi, we are allies, not enemies. You have su
ch a treasure in hand, why don’t you share it with me? Once I’ve ascended as a monarch, won’t you benefit more than this if I am forever in debted to your assistance?”

  Chapter 904: Fighting the Imperial Emperor |

  Zhong Yue laughed aloud, “Long Zhi, Long Zhi, Long defines the men, and Zhi the women. And so, I wonder, are you a man or woman? And whose niece are you?”

  “What does it have to do with you!?” Long Zhi’s nine heads were infuriated, the voices of men and women mixed together as Long Zhu screamed in anger.

  It was at this time, another flash of ray reached to the side of the Star River — another Imperial Emperor shrouded in godly lights!

  Zhong Yue’s eyelids thumped, this newly arrived Imperial Emperor wasn’t an easy target as well, it was no doubt another expert whose power was no less inferior to Long Zhi’s.

  “Third little sister, why are you here?” The newcomer was surprised and asked.

  Long Zhi’s nine heads frowned together while some other flashes of rays came rushing toward them behind.

  “Second elder brother, why are all of you here?” One of the flashes alighted beside the river and asked, “You all smelled the fragrance too?”

  Zhong Yue’s heart sank, in just a short while, there were already five peak Imperial Emperors that arrived. Their prowesses were incredible and when the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis’s fragrance reached them, they immediately traced it back to its source.

  These five Imperial Emperors were all Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s Dao friends. Their powers were far too strong for the heavily fortified Heaven Suppressing Prefecture to actually defend.

  “The fragrance must’ve come from a saint herb, one so saintly that even the world has never seen before. It is just right in the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, it is in there. Consuming this saint herb will make the ascension to Imperial Monarch the lowest possible outcome.”

  The Imperial Emperor who was called the “Second elder brother” turned and looked at Zhong Yue, he said, “But Mister Yi has kept the treasure for himself, he didn’t want to share to the others. So now, I am here to talk to him.”

  “King Yi, you are the Imperial Emperor’s subject, and we are his friends. Do you think you should hand the treasure out to us?” Long Zhi smiled.

  Zhong Yue frowned, five of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s six Dao friends were here. He wondered if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian himself would also come.

  “People, the treasure is mine and I have big use for it. You and I, we all serve under the Imperial Emperor, why do you all want to bully me?”

  Zhong Yue replied placidly, “Your minds have been disturbed by the fragrance. Please, return.”

  Long Zhu smirked coldly, “You are just a subject, and you dare act so impudently in front of us? We address you as a ‘Mister’ only because of the Imperial Emperor. Don’t you dare disrespect us when we’ve given you our respect! If you do not hand it out today, then we’ll come and take it away ourselves!”

  The ‘second brother’ frowned, he lowered his voice and said, “Third sister, Mister Yi is the Imperial Emperor’s trusted advisor, the Left King, King Yi. Even Imperial Emperor respects him and gave him high powers. You shouldn’t act so brashly.”

  Long Zhu smiled, “Even when he is granted with the high powers to command Imperial Emperor’s armies, he is still just a servant. As a servant, he dares to disrespect his master’s friends, who’s acting presumptuously now? Mister Yi, we respect that you were once an innate god, but that’s in the past. History. Now as you stand, you are a prenate being. Now, give out the saint herb! Or I will shatter your little land with just a finger!”

  Zhong Yue startled, then laughed happily, “You intersex creature, feel free to come and try.”

  Long Zhi was enraged, her body turned and showed her true form. It was a strange fox with nine heads and nine tails. Incredibly huge in size and while she stood above the stars, she sucked up the Star River and hurled out everything hard toward Zhong Yue!

  Nine powerful blasts of dark gales were striking toward the Heaven Suppressing Palace. The gales dimmed the surrounding, it had stones and rocks that clashed with one another within it, giving rise to flashes of lightning and sparks of fire.

  The two Creators guarding the gate were the first to face the dark gales. They mourned in pain as their muscles shattered apart, revealing the white bones beneath.

  The two Creators then gave a loud groan, and they cast out their Secular Worlds. The Secular Worlds were worlds they had created by the condensation of the Daos they had cultivated. But just when the Secular Worlds were opened, the nine dark gales have already perforated the worlds.

  Then, the dark gales slammed right into the city walls. The star sands bore through the walls and entered the city. In seconds, they had enlarged back to the sizes of stars and planets, and rammed down toward the palaces in the city.

  “Fu Qizhi, Fu Yanshan, handle him,” Zhong Yue ordered.

  The two human Imperial Emperors, Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan, walked out of the city. Fu Qizhi placed his crutch on the city walls and cast out two gigantic broad axes, swinging them nine times and crushing the nine dark gales.

  Although he may be old, a far cry from his prime, with his broad axes, he was still a formidable cultivator.

  Fu Yanshi swung his bone club and leaped up to the air, slamming down hard from above down toward Logn Zhi!

  “Human slaves, you dare to attack me!?” Long Zhi was enraged, shouted in mixed voices of males and females. her nine tails shot out toward Fu Yanshan while shouting, “Back when I was fighting alongside the Imperial Emperor, slaughtering your ancestors, you were still just a tadpole!”

  Zhong Yue’s face turned gloomy, and killing intent brimmed in his heart.

  The two Imperial Emperors clashed, causing the Star River to shudder violently. Fu Qizhi stepped forth and joined the battle. The three Imperial Emperors fought above the river surface, shuddering the space around them.

  Long Zhi sure was strong. She was fighting two Imperial Emperors and yet, was still able to maintain the upper hand. Her nine heads laughed in unison, “Human slaves, I’ve helped to decipher and crack the arts and techniques of your ancestors…”

  Krong—

  In just a step, Zhong Yue entered the Stone Sentinel Maze and infused the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] into the Stone Sentinel Maze. In just a second, the 8 million Xian Tian Royal Guards and 8 million mounts all surged their arcane energy through the array formation into him.

  Zhong Yue’s power was heightened to the level of a peaked Creator, and his body turned stalwart. And in the next second, the array formation has moved, reappeared above Long Zhi while sounds of cracking could be heard within Zhong Yue’s body.

  Krong—

  He opened the Tai Yang Secular World, followed by another loud boom and the opening of the Tai Yin Secular World, then another boom for the Desolate Lightning Secular World!

  Krong—

  The Innate Celestial Secular World, the Innate Demon Secular World, and lastly, the Innate Yi World. All six Secular worlds were opened as if there were 6 worlds in his body, filling him with the powers of the Secular Worlds!

  Zhong Yue punched down while Long Zhi was fighting with Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan. It caught him off guard and took the full impact of the punch. The Star River beneath him exploded and she was struck into the Star RIver!

  The Star River shuddered, waves and waves of star clouds rippled out from the center. This was how terrifying Zhong Yue was at the Creator level!

  Fu Yanshan seized the chance and swung his bone club at her feet, tearing a huge piece of flesh away from her leg.

  The old man’s face was ferocious, he reached his hand out toward the flesh clinging onto his bone club and picked it down and tucked it into his mouth.

  Faraway, the Star River burst out as Long Zhi flew up into the sky. Her nine heads were shouting, “Little Brat Yi! You dare to harm me? You are also a human slave——”

 
; Before she finished her words, Zhong Yue had already bolted out like an arrow toward Long Zhi!

  Whereas Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan flanked the sides. Long Zhi laughed in extreme anger, her nine tails were raised high and shot out, curling onto Zhong Yue’s arm while her nine heads opened up and brimmed with rays. Clearly, some powerful skills were getting prepared in her mouth!

  She was really enraged, and this would be a killing blow!

  Just as her nine tails curled up on Zhong Yue’s incoming punch, Zhong Yue’s arm suddenly bulged out as if there were a dragon that swarmed beneath his skins. His arm grew larger and stronger.

  Then, his fist opened up and the nine tails were blasted out from his arm!

  Krong—

  Right after Zhong Yue removed the nine tails from his arm, his palm turned into a knife-hand and brought it down onto Long Zhi’s neck. The godly rays that were brimming in Long Zhi’s nine heads suddenly lost of control and dispersed in all directions.

  Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshi came flanking on the sides, battering Long Zhi into flying. While she was still in midair, her nine tails were clenched by Zhong Yue, and swung her onto the city walls. The city walls shuddered violently and so was the Star River!

  Long Zhi spurted out a mouthful of blood. Fu Yanshan’s bone club and Fu Qizhi’s broad axes came crashing down from the sides, creating wounds after wounds on Long Zhi’s body.

  “You slaves…”

  As the bone club and broad axes were pulled back, Zhong Yue’s knee struck onto her heart, causing her to spurt out blood from her nine heads.

  “Enough!”

  A terrifying aura rose from behind, it was the ‘second brother’, he was walking toward them. Immediately, Zhong Yue held onto Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshi, and flew up to the city wall, fleeing from the scene.

  The ‘second’ came over and helped Long Zhi back to her feet. He stopped Long Zhi from attacking again and raised his head, staring into Zhong Yue’s eyes while saying sternly, “Mister Yi, you sure are a Mister, to be able to form an array formation of this caliber. However, we aren’t easy targets either. Third Sister Long Zhi hasn’t shown her true power yet. As the Imperial Emperor’s subject, she didn’t try to kill you. You should know the limits.”
