Chapter 1078: Criticize (1/2)
In the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
Two Deity Emperors were testing out each other’s strength on the Heavenly Deity Altar. And suddenly, they both unleashed their powers and in just a few changes of bouts, one of them lost and forced to concede defeat.
Hundun Yu waved his hand and changed the ranks in the Board of Future Monarchs. There were too many gods that attended this time, nearly all of the talents in the universe were attracted by the Board of Future Monarchs.
However, despite the large numbers of talents, Zhong Yue remained at the top of the ranks on the board. No one was able to challenge his position.
But the other ranks were slowly changing. The seven talents who had opened the seventh secret realm were moving up the ranks rapidly. But Yangguang Yuan, Yao Xingyue, and the others’ rise were stopped when they challenged the second, third, and fourth on the board.
The second on the Board of Future Monarchs was the Innate Saint Spirit Body, Yin Fanxuan, Goddess Xuan of the Heaven Suppressing Fortress. Her strength was no weaker than Zhong Yue’s.
She was Zhong Yue’s main wife and the two would frequently exchange moves. Zhong Yue would teach her whatever he had attained and with her uncanny talent, she would always able to complete the shortcomings in Zhong Yue’s comprehensions.
Jin Chongyu was the first to challenge her but was met with a defeat even more miserable than than when she fought Zhong Yue. As a result, Yao Xingyue and the rest shifted their attention to the third on the board.
The third on the Board of Future Monarchs was Feng Mingshan.
There, they were met with another unstoppable force. If the Zhong family husband and wife were two insurmountable mountains, then Feng Mingshan was a bad-tempered and irascible phoenix!
Not a single challenger to his throne was able to walk away unharmed!
However, that also made him rather infamous, drawing the attention of the gods.
Fourth rank was Zhong Yue’s other wife, Jin Hexi, Goddess Xi of the Heaven Suppressing Fortress. She was a disciple to Celestial Monarch Jin Wu and had consumed the Chaos Divine Fruit of the Fusang Divine Tree to open the seventh secret realm. Her attainments in the seventh secret realm were not inferior to Feng Mingshan’s and thus, her rank in the board was also untouchable.
With these four essentially invincible experts before them, Yangguang Yuan and the others found themselves sadly fighting over the ranks of fifth and onwards. Before they came, they were filled with confidence, believing that opening the seventh secret realm would secure them a top position in the Board of Future Monarchs. But who knew there were even stronger experts than them that hadoccupied the first four ranks already.
However, there was an interesting interlude that occurred sometime during the challenges. The Huaxu Clan’s Heavenly Lady made an appearance and challenged Yin Fanxuan to a fight. The two ladies battled on the stage but before the winner was decided, the Huaxu Clan’s Heavenly Lady suddenly left and disappeared from the scene. It would be an understatement to say that her appearance has caused a ruckus among the crowd.
Many knew of this Huaxu Clan’s Heavenly Lady. Back then, there was a period of time when Yin Fanxuan stood as an invincible figure among the young gods. And out of nowhere, the Huaxu Clan’s Heavenly Lady came to challenge her but the battle also ended with her leaving before the winner was decided.
“Darling said the one who could parry his twin sabers would be the Huaxu Clan’s Heavenly Lady?” Yi Wanjun asked Shi Yinji.
Shi Yinji nodded, “Look at big sister’s face, she doesn’t look very content.”
On the other hand, Bi An had grown into a handsome young man and had finally refined the Hundredth Reincarnations Saint Lotus’s medicinal efficacy into his cultivation base. With that, he stopped emanating the fragrance anymore.
His appearance in the general assembly was a spotlight. After all, as a young Imperial Emperor no older than a hundred years old, it was truly difficult for him to go unnoticed.
“Cousin, don’t have such a high profile or you’ll get eaten.” Zhong Yue summoned Bi An and berated him.
“Cousin, you and your wife have bullied me for a hundred years.” Bi An cried as he complained, “But now I finally have some strength of my own, I won’t get eaten anymore.”
Zhong Yue cleared his throat and he warned, “Mister Bi Luo said the one who created your cultivation art may still be alive. It’s waiting for you to ripen and consume you. It must be having its eyes on you. If you are ostentatious like this, I don’t know when your time will come.”
Bi An felt a cold travel down his spine and he was afraid to challenge the other Imperial Emperors anymore.
Fu Li, Fu Lie, and the other humans also took up a few challenges and made some waves. The humans were the humblest race in the universe and yet, a few Creators and Imperial Emperors with the potential of becoming monarchs had emerged within the human race. It sure was news to everyone.
Yan Sovereign Jiang Yiqi was also challenged by the Imperial Emperors and the [Zhu Long Heavenly Mystic Art]’s stunning power shook the races!
“Is the human race becoming a monarch race?” Some were unable to accept it as they exclaimed in shock, “The human experts that were invited here aren’t few. There is the Human Sovereign and King Yi’s barbarian humans. If a few monarchs were born within the human race, wouldn’t they become a monarch race?”
The Tianyao Race’s ascension into a monarch race was already unacceptable by many, let alone the humans that were considered even baser than the monsters?
The monarchs that knew the past secrets couldn’t help but feel their nerves thumping heavily. As one of the eight sovereign races, the sealed humans had an enormously storied past. If a monarch was to rise within the race and return them to a sovereign or monarch race, would they turn over the old accounts and seek revenge?
“Mister Yi is also a human…” Xuan Ji smiled at Zhong Yue, “Mister Yi, you have over six thousand Fuxis under your lead, don’t you? I also hear that the humans in the ancient universe also follow your command. Plus, the Human Sovereign is closely related to you.”
Zhong Yue grinned, “Brother Xuan Ji, what thoughts do you have in mind, just be blunt.”
Rays flashed across Xuan Ji’s eyes as he said, “If the humans have a monarch and became a monarch race, will King Yi still be able to achieve your dream?”
“Who said the humans are becoming a monarch race?”
All of a sudden, a majestic voice came from above. Zhong Yue traced the voice and stiffened up his heart. Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen Goddess were holding hands as they walked over. Everywhere they went, heaven and earth would turn. Their entrance was accompanied by sonorous Dao voices that traveled from the end of time and space, like blessings and chants from the universe’s gods.
