  Chapter 925: Chaos Divine Fruit |

  Within one’s body were contained endless secret realms, all of which were closed. But once they are opened, they will be endowed with power.

  Ever since the Fire Order Era, all skills and techniques were built with this as the base. But of course, the innate gods were not the same.

  The secret realms of the innate gods were already opened since birth, but they were also in disarray; in order to fully use the power of these secret realms, the innate gods still needed to unify these secret realms through the Six Paths Reincarnation.

  But the secret realms that were not within the Six Paths Reincarnation’s coverage were extremely dangerous, After countless attempts, Zhong Yue still couldn’t merge them with the Six Paths Reincarnation. And without being able to be controlled, these secret realms taxed his body and Yuan Shen greatly. Besides, just the Space Secret Realms alone already had him cornered.

  But now, the power of the fruit opened up all the secret realms within his body and that scared Zhong Yue’s soul out of his body!

  Yet, Zhong Yue strangely felt no pressure after the fruit opened up the secret realms and he felt more than just comfortable instead.

  He even had this wonderful feeling that the endless unique tastes of the fruit were not taste but the Daos represented by the secret realms in his body!

  Each and every secret realm was a type of Dao!

  And now after consuming the fruit, the Daos contained in the fruit were nourishing his secret realms.

  Mortals were inherently inferior to innate gods mainly because their secret realms were not opened naturally like the innate gods and their quality also couldn’t compare.

  Hence, they had to cultivate from the bottom and enhance the secret realms’ flexibility, fortifying them with their own totem pattern Daos.

  For Zhong Yue, apart from the Dao Yi Secret Realms, the other five great secret realms were extremely vast and that was because they were constantly refined and expanded by him.

  And the smallest Dao Yi Secret Realm that could only fit the Pan Gu Celestial Being was the toughest to refine!

  Besides, apart from the six great secret realms, the other secret realms of mortals could not be cultivated, refined and expanded. Not even the monarch level ones, as that was beyond the capability of the Six Paths Reincarnation.

  However, the Chaos Divine Fruit contained every Dao represented by the secret realms and after consuming it, Zhong Yue felt that every single secret realm in his body was widening and surging with unimaginable speed!

  His six great secret realms continued expanding; the Bloodline Secret Realm connected his body and Yuan Shen tightly, the Wu Xing, Wan Xiang, Shen Cai, and Yin Yang widened and the dimension within them was fortified!

  The Dao contained in the fruit intertwined together as they strengthened, and even the toughest Dao Yi Secret Realm was gradually getting stronger with each rumble!

  The Dao Yi Secret Realm was located inside the brain. When it was closed, within the head of Qi Practitioners would be a cloudy area. This made opening of Dao Yi Secret Realm equivalent to creating the heaven and earth, requiring the creation of the Yin Yang, Shen Cai, Wan Xiang, and Wu Xing after dispersing the chaos.

  At this moment, Chaos Qi ravaged his Dao Yi Secret Realm, the Qi floated up and down, allowing the Dao Yi Secret Realm to widen and the Pan Gu Celestial Being in it to also grow. As the heaven and earth grew larger, so did the celestial being!

  These changes were very much pleasing to Zhong Yue as whether it be Qi Practitioners or gods, the hardest to cultivate would be the Dao Yi Secret Realm and Pan Gu Celestial Being. Hence, the growth in both his Dao Yi Secret Realm and Pan Gu Celestial Being saved him years of effort!

  Monarch level existences that could have their Pan Gu Celestial Being grow a level that allowed him to support the entire Six Paths Reincarnation… Just what kind of power is that?

  Now, though Zhong Yue managed to up the secret realm and the celestial being by quite an extent, he was still very far away from reaching the level of a monarch.

  But the Chaos Divine Fruit still strengthened his base, after all, making even more room for his Pan Gu Celestial Being and Dao Yi Secret Realm to improve!

  Apart from that, his other secret realms were also enhanced in this explosive improvement! While the gap to ascend into an innate god was still there, Zhong Yue was continually closing that gap!

  At this rate, after fully absorbing the fruit’s power, Zhong Yue’s secret realms would rival that of innate gods!

  That was the strongest effect of the fruit!

  Meanwhile, as Zhong Yue was absorbing the fruit’s power, the others on the ship were staring at the light wheels appearing behind Zhong Yue in fear and shock!

  These light wheels were the projection of his secret realms and even the strongest one present on the scene only had six wheels, which was the representation of the Six Paths Reincarnation.

  Yet, apart from the six light wheels, there were countless wheels that were slowly emerging from his body!

  Huge or small, light or heavy, dark or bright and thick or thin, these light wheels circled around him in great numbers.

  At the same time, the light wheels were rumbling; countless Dao languages mixed together, composing a beautiful melody!

  Such a melody could have only existed in heaven, not the mortal realm!

  “That brat!”

  Fu Li grabbed onto Hundun Yu’s collar, dragging him back while syaing, “That fruit of yours, do you still have another one? I can work for you! Anything, you name it!”

  Hundun Yu shouted angrily, “No! I only have one and I didn’t even have the chance to eat it!”

  Fu Li, however, was not convinced and started searching through Hundun Yu with his rough hands, “You sure about that? Let me see …”

  “Don’t touch me! I’m serious!”

  Hundun Yu quickly dodged and replied, “This is a fruit that only grows on the divine tree! Even the one in the Jinwu Clan wouldn’t grow one in a few thousand years! There had only been a total of five fruits after my grand ancestor planted the tree 170,000 years ago! There are only eight flowers left. If you live long enough, you might be able to have one!”

  Fu Li’s eyes lit up right away and he said, “Then the Jinwu Clan still has this kind of fruit? Hey, this brat, why don’t we go steal one or two from them? How about that? One for you and one for me!”

  Secretly, Hundun Yu rolled his eyes,

  Stealing from the imperial race Jinwu Clan? Do you think I’m stupid?

  “They always say that I am a stupid one but it seems like you are the real dumb one here!”

  Hundun Yu rebuked angrily, “Do you not know how powerful the Jinwu Clan is? Their monarch is not dead and his injuries are almost healed! Just how much effort do you think he would need to catch you!”

  Yin Fanxuan, who was on the other side, murmured worriedly, “Darling seems to have his secret realms all opened… Will there be a problem? If there really is…I might have to drag the corpse out for real ….”

  On the other hand, the power in the fruit continued to surge in Zhong Yue’s body, the light wheels flew around, unleashing the wonders of the secret realms.

  While the others knew little about the dangers of opening secret realms, Yin Fanxuan was very clear of it. She had already dragged Zhong Yue’s body out from the Six Paths Bead more times than she could count.

  Two days later, the light wheels shining outside of Zhong Yue’s body reached their pinnacle. And to Yin Fanxuan’s delight, the light wheels dimmed as this, indiciating that the power from the fruit had been fully absorbed by Zhong Yue.

  If the light wheels did not fade, then they were still activated and that would be extremely dangerous!

  Another two days later, the light wheels outside of Zhong Yue’s body gradually disappeared and the secret realms were deactivated.

  At long last, the efficacy of the fruit had been fully absorbed and it can no longer refin
e his secret realms.

  As the secret realms closed up, Zhong Yue let out a long breath of relief. At this time, his six great secret realms were extremely vast that they could fit in an entire solar galaxy; even the smallest Dao Yi Secret Realm was as huge as a planet.

  The Pan Gu Celestial Being who was within the Dao Yi Secret Realm had also become incredibly huge, much bigger than before!

  Weng—

  With a move in his psyche, the light wheels spread out behind the back of his head, the Six Paths Reincarnation spun slowly and the massive light wheels sank into the Star River, stirring the water like a water wheel.

  The Six Paths Wheels were the projection of his Yuan Shen secret realms’ power and through that, he had shown immense power that was now coursing in his Yuan Shen secret realms!

  Shame. I am still far away from having the Pan Gu Celestial Being strong enough to lift up the entire Six Paths Galaxy. But it is already impressive enough that the Chaos Divine Fruit managed to raise my secret realms to such a level.

  Zhong Yue retracted the light wheels behind his head and he suddenly recalled, I once had an intimate relationship with the Heavenly Lady of Jinwu Clan. If I went to Jinwu Clan to propose for marriage with her, will they prepare a Chaos Divine Fruit as a dowry…. No no! Jin Hexi was lured into having a relationship with me when we both cultivated the Yin and Yang Dao. If I went to propose marriage, I might be killed by her! Besides, Fanxuan will be unhappy with this. I am not sure if I can beat her right now. If I piss her off again and get beaten up by her in front of everyone, then how would I still maintain my reputation….

  On the other hand, after noticing the efficacy of the fruit was depleted, Hundun Yu immediately rushed over with Fu Li in tow. The two of them looked at Zhong Yue eagerly and asked at the same time, “Did it taste good?”

  “Absolutely,” nodded Zhong Yue.

  “So?” Fu Li looked at Hundun Yu.

  Hundun Yu hesitated and he scratched his head, “My mission is to stay beside Mister Yi… besides, the Jinwu Clan is so dangerous….”

  Zhong Yue was speechless as now he finally knew what these two were planning; they were actually brave enough to have unnecessary thoughts on the Jinwu Clan’s Fusang Divine Tree. He immediately thought of something else, There should be news about Imperial Emperor Xian Tian by now.

  A few days later, a messenger arrived from the Xian Tian Palace carrying a letter from the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

  “Dear Yi, wouldn’t it be boring if there is no friend to accompany me? I will have one body standing guard and the other to entering seclusion. Besides, do you think we should accept the Heavenly Monarch’s invitation?

  After reading it, Zhong Yue closed his eyes and he burnt it after he opened his eyes.

  This guy….

  He did not know what to feel; though they were on different sides since the beginning, he couldn’t bring himself to deny that Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was a very admirable existence. His choice to leave one body out will definitely cause an imbalance between his celestial and demon Dao or worse, the other body will never be able to reach the Heavenly Monarch level!

  But Imperial Emperor Xian Tian still chose this unwise option regardless, hence, even if Zhong Yue took him as an enemy, he still couldn’t help but admire Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

  “Young man of the Fuxi Clan, are you becoming soft right now?”

  Xin Huo’s voice was heard questioning him, “Have you forgotten the annihilation of your race?”

  “No… I will never forget… I am just worried that my saber will not be quick enough.”

  Zhong Yue replied as he slowly moved his hand on the innate divine saber, which shined and reflected his face. He said, “I just hope that my saber is swift enough to let him leave this world with no pain. I need it to be quicker and stronger!”

  Chapter 926: Intelligence Stands No Chance Against Absolute Power |

  The annihilation of his race, the slavery of humanity, how could that be forgotten?

  When the sword decapitated the enemies, it must be done with speed.

  The sword was just like the heart.

  Just like the sword that dulled after prolonged usage, the heart would get tired after going through a lot of hardship.

  Hence, not only mst the sword be polished and sharpened, the heart must also be taken care of.

  In Zhong Yue’s hand, the innate divine saber was flawless as it shone brightly, reflecting himself and his flaws on its surface.

  Suddenly, a divine general came reporting, “A messenger from the Heaven Court is requesting to see you, my lord!”

  With a flick of his mind, the divine blade disappeared and Zhong Yue had his men allow the messenger in.

  This messenger was a human god and in his hands was a scroll from the Heavenly Monarch, “Heaven Suppression Fortress’ commander, Yi Feng, come forth and accept the decree.”

  Hearing this, Zhong Yue remained seated on the chair and with a simple wave, he said, “Read it.”

  The messenger was furious upon seeing this and immediately shouted, “How dare you, Yi Feng! You dare sit and not bow to the Heavenly Monarch’s decree? Are you trying to rebel?”

  Zhong Yue remained seated expressionlessly.

  Yin Fanxuan, who was on the other side rebutted without hesitation, “My husband serves Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, not the Heavenly Monarch, why should he bow? If he’s going to rebel, you’re the first one who will be killed in his conquest! Do you want to force my husband into doing that?”

  “Read,” said Zhong Yue again.

  The messenger suppressed his anger and opened up the scroll. It talked about the upcoming birthday of the Heavenly Monarch and that they were all invited to the celebration taking place in the Heaven Court.

  Zhong Yue had a subordinate accept the scroll and asked, “Apart from me, who else in Xian Tian Palace is invited?”

  The arrogant messenger replied, “The land in this universe is the land of the Heavenly Monarch, Xian Tian Palace is just one of the many factions out there, which places them all under the command of the same lord, the Heavenly Monarch. Only the leaders and masters are invited to the Heaven Court! If you dare to be absent, you will be charged with treason!”

  Zhong Yue answered with a smile, “Such a foul mouth! Punish him with 300 lashes and throw him out.”

  Shocked and enraged by Zhong Yue’s decision, the messenger shouted, “I am the Heavenly Monarch’s messenger and you dare to punish me? Hold on! Wait! I am a human and you are a human too! Why don’t you let me go?”

  His words, however, did not stop the generals from executing their lord’s order. The messenger was pressed to the ground and after the beatings, he was already half dead.

  The messenger struggled up and shouted angrily, “Yi Feng, you humiliated the Heavenly Monarch’s messenger! Do you still want to go to the birthday celebration or not! If you decide to go, I will wait for you there and tell everyone about your transgressions!”

  Zhong Yue was caught off guard at this messenger daringness and he said, “I let you keep your life because you are a human, but I never thought you have that gall! Fine, wait for me in the Heaven Court.”

  Just as the divine generals were about to throw the messenger out, the man patted his clothes and smirked, “Don’t you lay a finger on me! I can still walk myself!”

  With that said, he stood up straight and walked away arrogantly.

  In the main hall, Yin Fanxuan’s beautiful eyebrows frowned, “Darling, why did he say that he will wait for you in the Heaven Court? Are you really planning to attend the celebration? I fear that the celebration is just a trap and the Heavenly Monarch is waiting there to slaughter everyone who attends his birthday celebration!”

  In the letter, it asked Zhong Yue if he was to attend the celebration or not, which also suggested that Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was invited as well. However, knowing how dangerous it was, even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian would be reluctant to attend.

 
With the universe in such a chaotic situation, it was very clear that the Heavenly Monarch had ill designs, hence, what Yin Fanxuan said was very plausible.

  Zhong Yue laughed and said, “If Xian Tian Palace does not attend the banquet, those warlords that attended the banquet will be all taken over by the Heaven Court and those that wanted to stay neutral will think Xian Tian Palace is afraid of the Heaven Court. If that happens, Xian Tian Palace will have lost momentum before the war even began, placing them at a disadvantage.”

  “But darling, the celebration is definitely not just a celebration.”

  Yin Fanxuan shook, “After you punished their messenger, things will become even more dangerous when you arrived at Heaven Court!”

  “I punished him not because of his arrogance but because of his incompetence. Though the trip may be very risky, it is still a good chance to meet the many heroes of this world. Hence, I will still attend the celebration even if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian does not go. However, it is still better if I can get him to go with me for safety reasons.”

  Yin Fanxuan couldn’t help but laugh, “But darling, with their relationship, do you think Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will attend the celebration?”

  “I’ve my own ways. Worry not.”

  Zhong Yue wrote a letter to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian that read, “The Heavenly Monarch has malicious intentions by setting up this banquet for his celebration. Your humble servant strongly recommends King Zi Guang to attend this celebration for he is a very intelligent and observant man. His presence there in the celebration will not cause any loss of face for Xian Tian Palace and he can even try to recruit some of the warlords there. I am willing to attend the celebration with King Zi Guang!”

  He then sealed the letter and handed it over to Fu Li to deliver to Xian Tian Palace as quickly as possible.

  Just as he put down his pen, Yin Fanxuan laughed, “That messenger might have a foul mouth but he has guts. Even after the punishment, he can still talk in such manner and force you into attending the celebration in Heaven Court.”
