Chapter 1055: On Fire (1/2)

Bit by bit, they were approaching the Heaven Suppression Fortress but Zhong Yue felt restless and uneasy the closer they got to the fortress.

Fanxuan warned me not to get into a relationship with other ladies now that I’m married to her and Hexi.

Zhong Yue’s expression was gloomy,Yet now, I’m bringing two more back home….

Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji saw Zhong Yue’s apprehensive face and the former immediately asked in concern, “What happened?”

“Nothing, just something wrong with my cultivation.”

He glanced at the two ladies as his head enlarged by a few inches again with more sweat dripping down it,And I did not even tell Wanjun, Yinji and the others about my status….

Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji became even more worried and frightened at his growing head while Hundun Yu stood in the corner, pretending he knew nothing while Xin Huo faked sleeping.

Will I become the next Xin Huo inheritor who will be killed by his wives…..

“Wanjun, Yinji, I need to tell you this…..”

In the end, Zhong Yue decided to confess, “I’ve already married someone in Zi Wei….”

In an instant, the ladies’ expression changed right away. Zhong Yue could already feel the anger burning strongly in them behind their silence.

With a cough, he continued, “I do not wish to keep you in the dark, I have two wives. Yin Fanxuan, the daughter of Yinkang Clan’s clan master, and Jin Hexi, apprentice to the ancient universe’s Celestial Monarch Jin Wu.”

He then recounted his encounter with Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi, how he was tricked into marrying Yin Fanxuan in the State of Heavenly River, the Dao discussion between him and Jin Hexi in the ancient universe, and Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s proposal for a marriage between them.

After that, he kept quiet and Yi Wanjun coldly replied, “And? I don’t see how these are related to me, I am not in a relationship with you, you can marry as many as you want.”

Shi Yinji on the other hand, giggled, “Then how strong are they? I can’t wait to compete with them! Wanjun, if I can’t win against them, you have to help me!”

“Don’t even think about it!” rebutted Yi Wanjun.

Shi Yinji then whispered, “Are you not angry at them for stealing our husband?”

With a slight hesitation, Yi Wanjun nodded under some kind of influence.

Seeing this, Zhong Yue’s head became three times bigger than his body, frightening Hundun Yu even more and Zhong Yue could be heard murmuring, “This is bad… this is bad! Xin Huo, help me!”

Meanwhile, they were slowly approaching the Heaven Suppression Fortress; it has been more than 60 years since Zhong Yue’s last departure from the fortress, throughout these years, Zhong Yue’s incarnations had been assisting Jin Hexi and Yin Fanxuan in the battle against the Heaven Court!

There had been more than a thousand battles, which turned the fortress into a meat grinder, one of the largest battlegrounds in the war for the throne and the first among the six; countless of lives writhed in this place.

Among the Heaven Court 36 army divisions, the Yu Lin Army was routed. The Heavenly River Navy Fleet as well as the Southern Heaven Gate’s four royal armies and four elite armies dispatched billions of soldiers and laid siege to the fortress for more than 10 years. But the Heavenly Suppression Fortress remained standing firmly.

Apart from Zhong Yue’s own troops, there was also the insect race army, Imperial Emperor Jiao Teng and Long Zhi also shone brightly in the battles.

Back then, when the Huangting clan’s monarch spirit descended from the Void World and entered its own monarch body, the spirit dominated the battlefield and that was when the two female Imperial Emperors showed their might; one immobilized the monarch spirit with her [Nine Tails Heavenly Dragon Locking] while the other planted down countless flesh-eating and soul-consuming insects that devoured the monarch corpse and the spirit!

Without the monarch corpse and spirit, Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Huangting Clan tasted ultimate defeat, swarmed by the endless insect races’ insect gods. Fortunately for them, the Panhu Clan and Huangting Clan’s monarch weapon were present to hold the line and Gui Youmin arrived in time with the Southern Heaven Gate’s four elite armies to save them from a total wipeout.

However, Gui Youmin also failed at taking down the fortress. Long Zhi and Jiao Teng were both old rivals of Gui Youmin, both sides devised countless plots against each other and clashed ferociously.

What Jin Hexi and Yin Fanxuan could do was just assist the two Imperial Emperors, and that was the same for Zhong Yue’s incarnations.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had a wide circle of connections, which attracted gods of unique powers and capabilities to join his forces while the Heaven Court was known to produce great talents. The new powers that both sides gained were immediately put into use.

Among them, Feng Xiaozhong stood out the most. In just a few battles, he captured powerful foes like they were all herbs waiting to be harvested in the plantation, shocking both sides as he also walked away safe and sound from Gui Youmin’s assassination attempt!

But Feng Xiaozhong was still himself, the zealous Dao seeker who captured the Innate War Spirit Body, and three other different innate spirit bodies for experimental purposes, researching them for a few years before finally releasing them.

After regaining their freedom, these four Deity Emperors were still traumatized and undoubtedly lost their minds whenever they saw Feng Xiaozhong again.

Meanwhile, after failing to strike the fortress down for such a long time, Gui Youmin brought in all the Guishen Clan in this universe.

As the Ghost Sovereign, with just an order, the powerful Guishen Clan marched out from Hell’s Reincarnation from all sacred grounds right towards Heaven Suppression Fortress.

The Guishen Clan was also known as the Weishen Clan, whose characteristics were their body stood in between real and void, and their powerful Yuan Shen. These characteristics worked terrifyingly powerful against the insect races whose shells were all made of divine gold, granting the shells immense durability and defense, allowing the insect races to take on divine weapons and demonic weapons without flinching.

Besides, given how rapid they reproduce and their shady attack patterns, they proved themselves formidable against the Heaven Court’s army, claiming the lives of many soldiers. Whereas the Guishen Clan’s talent allowed them to bypass the insect gods’ tough shells and even Imperial Emperor Jiao Teng was injured badly!

After defeating the insect races, Gui Youmin pressed forward, only to run into Jin Hexi’s reinforcements, who routed over hundreds of thousands of the Guishen Clan with the Golden Crow’s attack.
