Chapter 1153 - Mystery In The Eye (1/2)

This was not Zhong Yue’s first visit to Bi Luo Palace, hence, he was considered no stranger to its structure, but with Xuan Ji around, it would be inappropriate to appear to be familiar with it.

Where they were right now was the place where the 800 innate gods cultivated. Among them, most were birthed from worship, they all cultivated right here, lived with each other, and made things very lively.

Ever since Zhong Yue and Si Ming’s robbery, however, Si Ming’s triple questions caused the Heaven Will’s brain explode, killing half of the innate gods and Mister Bi Luo sent the remaining ones out to take part in the war of the throne. Thus, this place remained as it is when the brain exploded, rubble scattered around and every place was in bad shape.

There was a great restriction on all innate gods, those from the Bi Luo Palace were all the Heaven’s disciples, upon running into each other, they were restricted from killing each other, hence, apart from the Sign of Nine-Five, the others still remained nameless as they had yet to pull off anything outstanding.

Even Sign of Nine-Five themselves lost quite a few of them before Zhong Yue’s thousand winged ancient ship.

As for Bi Luo Palace, though they wanted to interfere with the world’s affair, and even control the rise and fall of the Heavenly Monarchs, they had been achieving barely anything up until now.

After all, there were still existences like Yuan Ya and the other ancient existences, even if Bi Luo Palace was strong, they were not as powerful as these existences. They wouldn’t let Heaven’s power reach deep into the universe and that left Mister Bi Luo with few chances. All he could do was wait for his chance.

Meanwhile, while walking in the ruins, Zhong Yue was a little mixed with emotion after seeing the destruction he had caused.

“King Yi, it has been a long time.”

Xuan Ji smiled, “It’s been 40 years ever since that man beside you ambushed me and chased after me. 40 years is just the blink of an eye to us, but for humans, it is already two generations later.”

Given how dire the situation was for humans, 40 years was indeed a very long life. At about 15 years old, they would be getting married, giving birth to their child and once they reached 40 years old, their child would be an adult, having already married with their own child.

To ordinary humans, 40 years was enough time for an empire to rise and fall.

But to the gods, however, 40 years was really a blink of an eye’s time.

Zhong Yue smiled, “And the injuries given to you by that man?”

“Fully recovered.”

The surprised Xuan Ji mumbled, “He is a human too? Strange, how did I fail to notice this after such a long fight with him? I kinda feel that he is a monster created by an unnatural force, he possesses all celestial races’ innate talents and that caught me off guard, throwing me off the upper hand easily and denying me the chance to turn the tables. Finally, I got myself injured, but the injuries were not that serious. King Yi, I can tell that you are close to his level back then judging from this rapid improvement of yours.”

Zhong Yue nodded and said with mixed feelings, “40 years gap… and how many of those gaps are between us? If I want to catch up with him, I will have to spend more than a mere 40 years. Brother Xuan Ji, it has been some time since we last met. May I suggest a quick friendly duel?”

Xuan Ji smiled, “King Yi, you are always so hungry for a battle, aren’t you? Forget battling and you will be in danger, but obsess in it and it will kill you., I’m sure you know about this.”

“Wrong!”

Zhong Yue replied seriously, “I am not battle-hungry. I only desire to learning. I love studying and studying makes me happy! From Senior Martial Brother Xuan Ji, I will be able to learn things that I do not know, so please, give me this chance to learn!”

Xuan Ji blinked his eyes, this strange life form had no emotions as if his Dao heart would never be affected and he shook his head, “The battle between us will eventually turn into a battle between Heavenly Daos’ skills and [Daoless Heavens]. It would only end in a draw. There will be no second possibility. If this is the inevitable outcome, what is the point in having a duel?”

“Then we will drop the Heavenly Daos’ skills and [Daoless Heavens]!”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Or are you afraid?”

Xuan Ji smiled back, “No point provoking me, I have no emotions to provoke and any taunt will be futile.”

Zhong Yue took a step forward and his presence hiked, “I dare you.”

Xuan Ji insisted, “I said, my Dao heart is stable and I will not be taunted….”

“Just admit it, you’re afraid!”

Zhong Yue smirked, “Admit defeat before me and return my Fuxi Celestial Race’s arts to me!”

A dangerous air surged right away and Xuan Ji grinned, “I am reluctant to fight you, not afraid of you! Do you really think that Heaven’s disciple is not as good as you? You think I only know your Fuxi Celestial Race’s arts?”

Zhong Yue burst out laughing, “There is nothing that Heaven does not know, could it be that Heaven also taught you the arts of the other Heavenly Monarchs from the Earth Order Era? There will be no need to worry about my safety, just use whatever you have on me and let’s see if you can even hurt me!”

The two gazed into each other’s eyes with raging battle intent, Zhong Yue’s battle thirst hiked as each second passed and Xuan Ji on the other side, suddenly gave up and said, “I will not be taunted by you and reveal any more of my trump cards…..”

Hong long—-

Without a word, Zhong Yue delivered a punch, slamming onto Xuan Ji’s face, sending him flying, leaving a mark on his face and his body twisted before Zhong Yue’s powerful force.
