Chapter 1080: The Battle of Three Monarchs
Mu Xiantian’s 36 innate gods are most probably dead, he thought.
Although the innate gods weren’t undefeatable, their strengths were still far above ordinary cultivators of the Six Paths Reincarnation. And if there was an innate god who managed to open the seventh secret realm, they would be even stronger, perhaps even achieving invincibility across the same cultivation level!
To begin with, Mu Xiantian had fewer innate gods following him compared to the Heavenly Monarch. So to lose 36 of them in one go was a huge blow to his force.
And all of this was because of Mu Xiantian’s arrogance!
Appointing the right people to the right post was originally what Mu Xiantian was best at. Without it, Mu Xiantian may not experience any personal losses, but his followers would definitely suffer the consequences!
The victim to experience it firsthand was none other than Zhong Yue!
Each one of the light beams represented an innate god. They were soaked in the blood of either their enemies or their own. They were each holding an invitation letter as they entered the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
The stage was dead quiet. There was no one talking anymore as they were all staring at the innate gods.
Beside Zhong Yue, Hundun Yu suddenly said, “95 innate gods? This is the Sign of Nine-Five, it represents the Heavenly Monarch’s majestic might! I’ve heard the grand ancestor talking about it before. Back when Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan was enthroned, Mister Bi Luo had 95 innate gods descend from the skies to crown the Heavenly Monarch! It was from that day onwards that the God Order Era and God Order Calendar was officiated! These 95 innate gods, are they the same ones as before?”
“The innate gods that have enthroned Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan?” Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming still had a few things up his sleeves, being able to make these 95 innate gods follow his command. They may not be the strongest innate gods in Bi Luo Palace, but their strengths were definitely among the top. Together, they were fearsome force that no one would want to contend with!
But there were more than 800 innate gods in Bi Luo Palace, and Heavenly Monarch Di Ming only had 95 with him. Most of the others had gone to the other factions!
These 95 innate gods walked toward the stage and bowed toward Heavenly Monarch Di Ming. Then, 36 of them turned and walked toward Mu Xiantian, each holding a head in their hands.
When Mu Xiantian saw the heads, his face turned dark and gloomy. These heads belonged to the 36 innate gods under his command!
He had gone through much hardship to recruit these innate gods from the Bi Luo Palace, and in just one battle, they were entirely wiped out.
“Senior Martial Brother Xiantian, they aren’t dead, but defeated.”
The leading innate god said politely, “We are, after all, senior martial siblings of the Bi Luo Palace. We cannot see ourselves killing our own siblings. Thus, we’ve convinced them to surrender to the Heaven Court and work together as comrades. That way, we brothers can still be together.”
Mu Xiantian’s eyes thumped, he asked, “Their heads are here, where are their bodies?”
The innate god replied, “Back in the Heaven Court, now part of His Majesty’s forces.”
Mu Xiantian’s face darkened. He would rather see the 36 innate gods dead than to have them serve the Heavenly Monarch!
Now, with the additional 36 innate gods joining the Heaven Court, his enemy’s power had grown stronger while his own fell!
“This time, I’ve lost.”
Mu Xiantian smiled at Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, “Brilliant, Your Majesty, truly brilliant. You’ve found help from the Nine-Five, you’ve won this round.”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming replied politely, “You always win, it’s no big deal to lose once.”
Mu Xiantian laughed, “Quite true. After all, no one will be able to win all the time. The only thing that matters is to be the one that wins last. Your Majesty, it’s the General Assembly of Future Monarchs today, but the future monarchs are still just juniors. We as seniors would be taking advantage of them if we only listened to their discussions of the seventh secret realm and not share our own. Why don’t we too, go on stage and talk about our attainments in the seventh secret realm and Seven Paths Reincarnation?”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen Goddess exchanged a look and smiled, Queen Goddess said, “His Majesty and I both haven’t opened the seventh secret realm, our attainments sure aren’t as deep as Xiantian’s. But since you’ve invited us, we will not decline. His Majesty and I will both discuss our attainments with Xiantian, how’s that?”
Mu Xiantian laughed, “Two monarchs working together hand in hand? Your Majesty, Queen Goddess, you’ve both overestimated me. But that’s fine, it’s alright. Let’s get on stage and get started!”
Then, the three monarchs walked on stage, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen Goddess sat on one end and Mu Xiantian on the end.
“Thinking back, we’ve fought hard side by side and built this empire together. But now, here we are, sitting in front of the juniors in competition with one another. I can’t help but have mixed feelings.” Heavenly Monarch Di Ming said.
Mu Xiantian smiled, “Your Majesty, do not be troubled by the unnecessary feelings. To the innate gods, the postnate beings’ lifespan is nothing more than the blink of an eye. It should be Xiantian that should have mixed feelings about us. When Your Majesty and Queen Goddess are reduced to ashes in the flow of time, Xiantian will be the only one left standing before your graves.”
Queen Goddess smiled in response, “Xiantian is right. However, you may live eternally, but your subjects won’t live as long as you. They are the ones that are most pitiful.”
Mu Xiantian was insouciant, he said placidly, “Since it’s a Dao discussion that we are having now, Your Majesty, Queen Goddess, let’s stop the chatter and get into our agenda today.”
“Very well!”
