Chapter 2008: Harmony Immortal Monarchs (1/2)
“Harmony Immortal Monarchs! I know of them, they’re a miracle from our hundred races!” Goldloop clapped his hands and said.
“Yes, according to the text, they graduated from our academy and married each other before shouldering the Heaven’s Wills together, four each, an enviable couple indeed.” She was excited while explaining since she loved the history of the emperors such as Harmony Monarchs. Because they were from the hundred races, there were a plethora of records about them.
She stole a glance at Li Qiye, blushed, afraid that she might have said something wrong due to a lack of confidence.
Li Qiye cheered her on: “You’re right. However, the proudest achievement for the two isn’t that they became monarchs together and not four wills each either.”
“What did I miss?” She tilted her head and continued: “Ah, the text says that their greatest battle accomplishment was killing a Grand Emperor with eight wills. The two of them fought against this emperor before paying a great price to take him down.
“That’s impossible!” Goldloop was startled: “How could four-will emperors kill one with eight?”
Many understood that the power within the Heaven’s Will was incredible. For example, a four-will emperor was at a clear disadvantage against someone with more. This should be an uncrossable bridge for just about anyone.
Furthermore, two four-will emperors working together could perhaps stop a five-will emperor. As for someone with eight? Not even three four-will emperors could do anything about that, let alone two. The calculation behind the power of the Heaven’s Wills wasn’t one of simple addition.
Thus, the tale of the two emperors seemed like a fabrication. Anyone with a trace of common sense would never accept it.
“This story is verified by several Immortal Monarchs, but, but I don’t really know the details.” Xinxue became slightly agitated after Goldloop didn’t believe her. She wasn’t making it up, only recalling the text.
Of course, her verification ended in the books because a character as insignificant as an ant like her couldn’t go up to the big shots of the hundred races and ask.
“That is the truth.” Jinsheng nodded and helped her out: “That battle was shocking. The husband-and-wife did kill the eight-will emperors but they nearly died themselves.”
“That’s what the text said, they were gravely injured.” Xinxue became more confident after finding an ally.
“That’s something else, so hard to believe. How did they do it?” Goldloop commented.
“I’m not clear about that.” She looked over at Li Qiye with a hopeful stare. The text didn’t go into the details of that battle.
Li Qiye chuckled after seeing her stare: “There are many reasons for the successful slaying. For example, the advantage of number; the mutual and implicit understanding between the pair so their combination attacks were flawless. Moreover, they were younger than the Grand Emperor. Just in terms of vitality alone, they could draw out the battle infinitely.”
He paused for a bit before concluding: “Of course, these aren’t the most important factors. The thing that decided the outcome was the supreme grand dao created by the two - a unique dao combining the sword and saber. When they fought together, there was a monstrous increase in battle power, not just two emperors working together.”
