Chapter 749: Exposed

Zhong Yue was in the status of attaining Dao, just like what Dong Ah explained—Zhong Yue was now infinitely near the Dao.

Any attacks that was directed to him would be spontaneously responded by his subconsciousness; causing him to track the source of the killing intent and neutralize the threats.

The state of sudden Dao attainment was the best experience any cultivator could ever hope for. Being in that state synchonized one with the Dao, imbuing every move they made with the essence of the Dao.

Dong Ah’s first two attempts were skills which Zhong Yue’s subconsciousness only dispelled with no further actions taken; but Dong Ah’s third attempt wielded his soul weapon. At the moment the soul weapons were cast out, Zhong Yue’s subconsciousness subsequently identified him as a threat and responded in kind.

As Zhong Yue was wholly immersed in the Dao, he was considered as part of Dao; and it was exactly the Dao that moved his body to defend himself.

“Junior martial sister” Dong Ah was shocked and furious, he slowly stood up and said solemnly, “We’ve met with a lower realm expert!”

Xi He’s face stiffened along with Dong Ah’s. They trapped Zhong Yue in the center. Dong Ah’s first two attempts had no effect at all while the third attempt even caused him to be wounded by Zhong Yue’s subconscious responses. Such prowess, it was rare even among the Qi Practitioners in the Zi Wei Galaxy.

“Array formation!” Dong Ah yelled, “Engage him together!”

The Six Paths Wheel behind Xi He revolved rapidly while huge totem pillars flew out from it.

The totem pillars were huge, forged from divine gold, and totem patterns carved by the blood of god’s paved across the surfaces.

But what was most terrifying was that the huge totem pillars numbered in over thousands, with each pillar containing thousands of unique totem patterns carved with different types of godly blood and emanated different types of aura!

The totem pillars array formation alone had utilized the power of over a million god’s blood!

Although King Zi Guang had countless gods under his lead, it was still a big deal for him to order the gods to present their blood just so he could used them to forge the totem pillars for his disciple, Xi He.

One must know, that even Shi Yinji, the daughter to Realm Monarch Yunshan, couldn’t have had the honor of forging her own weapons with the blood of a million gods.

Every single god had their own secrets; they hailed from different heritages, different powers, and different races. Their blood contained the secrets to their cultivation; thus it was only natural for them to decline any requests for their blood essences!

But Xi He had done so.

It was evident how much influence King Zi Guang held over the Zi Wei Galaxy.

“The Million Gods Suppressing The Heaven Gate!” Xi He chanted as she cast the thousand totem pillars. The totem patterns on the pillars glimmered, turning into the images of gods that centered around Zhong Yue, creating an independent dimension that enclosed him within.

As the array formation was activated, four walls were raised with watchtowers on each side. Along with the grand-looking gods, the Heaven Gate was truly a spectacular scene to behold.

Shi Yinji, Yu Bochuan, and the others rushed to the rescue, but they couldn’t even get close to the array formation before an invisible force pushed them miles back from it.

Known as The Million Gods Suppressing The Heaven Gate, the array formation was solely created by Xi He. When the array formation was activated, it would ensnare the target in the four walls and beleaguered until either side dies. The overbearing pressure from the Heaven Gate has naturally acted upon the only victim it had as it tried to immobilize Zhong Yue.

But to her dismay, even when the array formation was fully activated, Zhong Yue stood up as if nothing had happened, his eyes were still closed and the calmness on his face never wavered.

Suddenly, his body vibrated with high frequency and disappeared in her vision, leaving only shadows behind as he continuously slipped away from the pressure of the Heaven Gate every time it was about to catch him.

Beads of cold sweat rolled down Xi He’s forehead as she mustered all of her might yet was still unable to follow Zhong Yue’s speed.

“He is too fast!” Xi He said with dismay, “Every time, he appears at the point my array formation can’t have reacted to instantly, I can’t suppress him at all! Senior martial brother, what should we do now?”

But she was only partially right. Even though the strange movements allowed him to evade the array formation’s overbearing pressure, it was still insufficient for him to avoid clashing with the gods in the array formation. If she had looked closely, she would see that his mortal body was shivering at a strangely high frequency that was in sync with the everchanging conditions inside of the array formation.

Zhong Yue, at this point in time, appeared to have even more profound attainments than Xi He in her own formation. It was as if he knew the changes and ways of the array formation like it was his own creation.

Suddenly, Dong Ah bolted into the array formation toward Zhong Yue while shouting, “Together we will break the flow of his movements!”

Xi He also followed behind, aiding Dong Ah in stalling Zhong Yue’s movements while controlling the array formation at the same time.

Zhong Yue’s movements were constantly changing, his body shivered even more vigorously and suddenly, he started moving his hands and legs as if he was dancing with the Heaven Gate as his stage.

Hu—

A total of eight arms grew out from his body, making various kinds of hand seals while also warding off Dong Ah and Xi He’s attacks. Moreover, he was able to counter their attacks and fight back!

Dong Ah and Xi He fought with Zhong Yue inside of the array formation. The totem patterns hovered on their sides while their skills ravaged the space around. But Zhong Yue’s state of sudden Dao attainment still persisted, totem patterns were forming outside of his body and fused into him; Xi He and Dong Ah couldn’t even affect his pace even the slightest!

The two higher realm cultivators were enraged, while they were going all out in the battle, their opponent seemed lackadaisical and at ease. Yet, he was able to respond with every one of their moves.

It was truly terrifying!

“Can a human really reach such a profound stage?” The two were terrified, but their attacks grew stronger. Everything King Zi Guang had ever imparted them was cast out at Zhong Yue, these skills were even better than those taught to Shi Yinji by her parents.

After all, King Zi Guang was from a great heritage, a knowledgeable man, a seasoned cultivator, and at the same time, a trusted courtier to the imperial emperor; of course his skills would be much better even when compared to the Realm Monarchs.

Despite that, Zhong Yue remained unperturbed, and that struck a blow to Dong Ah and Xi He’s self-confidence.

“You two from the Zi Wei Galaxy, how dare you still claim yourselves to be superior to us? Two against one, and still used the help of the array formation! Shameless!” Shi Yinji taunted from outside of the array formation.

But before the burning fire of anger rose in Dong Ah’s and Xe He’s hearts, another lady’s voice said indifferently, “Most importantly, Lord Yue is still in his cultivation, yet they still can’t do anything to him.”

“Wanjun, Lord Yue’s clothes were sewn by you, weren’t they? They look nice on him, look at that, him wearing the clothes you’ve made for him and toying around with them like worms without even opening his eyes.”

“It’s nothing.”

Dong Ah’s and Xi He’s face turned dark and gloomy.

Meanwhile in the Heaven Cour, Realm Monarch Yunshan was also furtively observing at the battle. His face was as dark and gloomy as the two, thinking of how his scheme on the young cultivators would not work anymore—Dong Ah and Xi He were clearly no match for Zhong Yue.

All of a sudden, he sensed an incoming aura and walked out of his palace. He looked at the Heaven Court’s teleportation formation and saw a beam of light descend down from the firmament. A golden carriage slowly emerged from the light beam.

King Zi Guang walked down from the carriage and bowed from afar, “Senior martial brother.”

Realm Monarch Yunshan also quickly reciprocated the formality, “Senior martial brother.”

Flanked by the beauties, King Zi Guang walked over and said, “I am from the Zi Wei Imperial Star. I serve the Imperial Emperor. I go by the name Zi Guang. Under His Majesty’s order, I am here to verify the human’s origins. I plead Senior Martial Brother Yunshan to give me the necessary authority to execute the orders given.”

To check on a human?, Realm Monarch Yun Shan’s heart palpitated in shock, he didn’t dare to displease the guest and invited him to sit while contemplating, A subject of the Imperial Emperor? Which Imperial Emperor is he referring to? Or can it be that Imperial Emperor…

King Zi Guang thanked Realm Monarch Yunshan and seated himself. He casually waved his fingers through the blank space in front of him, creating a space rift. But unlike the usual space rift that had endless void in the rift, this one showed the images of the battle between Dong Ah and Xi He against Zhong Yue.

King Zi Guang glanced at the battle and sighed while shaking his head, “Shame, what a shame. I am embarrassed in front of Senior Martial Brother Yunshan. These two are my disciples, I took them under my wing since their childhood and watched them grow. I initially sent them over to pressure this human so that he would be forced to reveal his full power and his true identity. But I never expected this….”

Rays flashed across Realm Monarch Yunshan’s eyes, he smiled and said, “And I was just wondering where two talents like that popped out from the Zi Wei Galaxy, so they are your disciples, no wonder they are so strong. Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang, you might’ve not heard of it yet, but this human, Zhong Yue, he is very strong. He has already surpassed the 81 levels of Pure Yang Lei Zhe, it’s only natural that your disciples are no match for him.”

“Has he already?” King Zi Guang frowned slightly, he mumbled, “A mere human can hold no such potential in them, unless, he has awakened… Hmm, no, no, that’s not right!”

He squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the totem patterns forming and fusing on Zhong Yue’s mortal body, his facial expression changed slightly and he shook his head, “Realm Monarch Bo Luo has ruined my plan! They are the innate totem patterns, from Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s ancestor’s [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art], it’s out of my expectation that he has imparted it to a human, and what’s more was that this human actually succeed in cultivating it!”

As King Zi Guang continued observing closely, he locked his brows deeper and mumbled, “There’s another art in him, not of the innate ones, but still on par with one. This human, what an ambitious heart has he contained in him, he has cultivated the Pure Yang mortal body and is still not satisfied, he wants to strive for the innate mortal body! How courageous!”

Pure Yang mortal body? Innate mortal body? , Realm Monarch startled and grew envious. Whether it be the Pure Yang mortal body or innate mortal body, he knew nothing of them all and never thought he would see it on Zhong Yue!

“But is he Fuxi or not, it is not something I can tell from his current state. Unless Dong Ah and Xi He are able to force him out of the sudden Dao attainment state and push him to unleash his true power. But by the looks of it, my disciples are still too weak to do so.”

King Zi Guang proceeded in taking out the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, he smiled and said, “This human is borrowing my disciples’ hands to help him in speeding up his attainments in Dao; yet, my little disciples are oblivious to all of it. How pathetic. Mirror Spirit, I’ll rely on you to see the truth.”

The Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror hovered, and a pretty lady with pitiful eyes stared at Zhong Yue, “This human is indeed strange, he has cultivated the Innate Yuan Shen.”

“Innate Yuan Shen?” King Zi Guang laughed, “That’s something I’ve missed. But the Innate Yuan Shen is nothing extraordinary, there are talents in the Zi Wei Galaxy that’ve achieved it too.”

“Theirs are not the same as his, it’s the soul he has cultivated into the innate state.” Mirror Spirit laughed.

“Innate True Soul!?” King Zi Guang couldn’t contain his shock.

“That’s not all, there’s more in him.” Mirror Spirit looked at Zhong Yue and continued, “He has cultivated the innate Qi, the innate arcane energy, and there’s two surges of innate divine blood flowing in his veins, one belonging to the Huaxu Celestial race and the other the Leizhe Celestial Race. Most of his divine blood is sealed, but some thirty to forty percent of them has been unlocked.”

King Zi Guang’s face changed dramatically, he stood up in brute force and his voice brimmed with killing intent, “FUXI! He is no doubt a Fuxi! Mirror Spirit, what more can you see in him?”

“I still see…” Mirror Spirit squinted her watery eyes, but just right when she focused her eyes on him, a bright ray flashed in Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen and blinded her vision. She shook her head and replied, “Everything else is blurred.”
