Chapter 994: The Demon Monarch Assimilating Back Into Dao

Without hiding anything, Zhong Yue said, “When I returned from the Imperial Star, I saved the humans struggling from the war. There was no place for them to stay in the fortress, and so I came here to pass them over to Yiqi. What is your business here today, King Zi Guang?”

“Yiqi is my friend. Moments ago, I sensed a terrifying aura from here and rushed here as quickly as I could. But it seems like I was overly worried just now.”

Surrounded by his beautiful wives, King Zi Guang started walking into the palace when he suddenly stopped, “King Yi, there is something I want to say but….

Zhong Yue smiled, “Please go on.”

After a second of silence, King Zi Guang said, “You and I are both strategists. We are already crossing the line by commanding an army. As a strategist, leading an army is already a big enough taboo to raise the lord’s ire. But if that strategist was also outstanding at the same time that he has the talent of becoming a monarch and is able to open the seventh secret realm, things would turn really sour very quickly. King Yi, whatever you did in the Heaven Court worries me. Though our lord is a very magnanimous man, you still made him suspect you.”

Zhong Yue explained, “King Zi Guang, this is nothing. Our lord had also opened the seventh secret realm, so everything is going to be fine.”

However, King Zi Guang did not stop there, “I heard that you snuck into the unworldly world disguising as Xiao Wuji with the intention to lift the human race’s bloodline seal. With that maniac brain of yours, I sure you are aware of what the word Fuxi means. You and I might not be on good terms, but I for one, wish nothing bad happen to you.”

Zhong Yue thanked him and insisted, “Our lord is not that as petty as you think.”

King Zi Guang gave him a long glance and he said as he entered the palace, “Be careful! Perhaps, the lord will have me to deal with you! Both of us are excellent strategists, and I do not wish to be the one to take your life. However, our lord’s wish is my command. If that day comes, I will do everything I can to kill you.”

After a few seconds, Zhong Yue turned and left.

Half a year later, Zhong Yue arrived at the Heaven Suppression Hall and just as he was about to dwell himself into the accumulated affairs, he suddenly heard a rumbling noise, the table trembled and when he got out, he saw a massive State of Heavenly River flying towards the fortress.

Around this State of Heavenly River were many warships, all covered in blood, sustained different levels of damages and the gods onboard were all tired and rugged.

Clearly, the Yinkang Clan had gotten into countless tough battles throughout the way.

The journey was four years long and finally, they’d arrived at the Heaven Suppression Fortress.

The State of Heavenly River was no smaller than the Heaven Suppression Continental. With that size, when Demon Monarch Yin Kang landed the state onto the ground, Zhong Yue immediately had the gods at the back of Heaven Suppression Hall moved away and activated the seals over there.

As the ground shook under the immense power, Demon Monarch Yin Kang finally landed the state safely.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian then walked towards Zhong Yue and stood side by side with him, looking at the demon monarch’s spirit and calmly informed, “Senior Martial Brother Demon Monarch might not hold himself anymore. He is going to be assimilated into the Daos.”

Zhong Yue had a shock and he looked towards Demon Monarch Yin Kang right away only to see the five wheels behind his head falling apart, the Daos filling his soul dispersed slowly and turned into a torrent of divine ray that flowed into the State of Heavenly River and the Heaven Suppression Hall.

As the divine ray passed by, the greens blossomed, the water purified and the area shined.

His spirit and soul were on the brink of disappearing forever.

For an entire four years, the moving of the State of Heavenly River all the way from so far away had taken a massive toll on the demon monarch even when the Yinkang Clan continuously supplied energy to him through worships.

“Great ancestor!”

In the state, the Yinkang Clan’s members teared, the elders sacrificed their life to pray at the demon monarch and there were even a few of them that were about to offer themselves as sacrificials for the exchange of Demon Monarch Yin Kang’s survival!

Demon Monarch Yin Kang waved his hand, the altars frozen and they were all shut down.

“No need to sacrifice yourselves for me.”

Demon Monarch Yin Kang’s spirit was pleased and glad seeing this and his voice came from the outer skies, “The mistakes I’ve made have caused my people a lot of problems, you have all suffered because of me, sealed and exiled because of me. Now, I finally have the chance to pay for my mistakes.”

His voice grew louder and louder, rumbling across the skies, “From now onwards, the people of Yinkang Clan are no longer sinners!”

“Starting from today, the Yinkang Clan’s children are no longer suppressed.”

“Now, you are all free!”

“Today, you will all be shouldering the glory and honor of our race and ancestors!”

“You are no longer criminals!”

As the voice echoed, his body disintegrated, the five light wheels faded into endless prosperity rays and fell right into the entire Heaven Suppression Fortress.

The Heavenly River’s stars attached by his five light wheels dispersed upon losing the restrictor and ascended into the skies.

With that, there was one less demon monarch in this world.

“Such selflessness and honor. He was willing to sacrifice himself for his people.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian sighed, turned around at Zhong Yue and said, “King Yi, with Yinkang Clan joining you, you now have an army that can rival the Heavenly River Naval Fleet. This fortress is a crucial zone in the war. You mustn’t lose it at all costs!”

Zhong Yue nodded and suddenly said, “Your Majesty, I’ve unsealed the bloodline in me in the unworldly world.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s body thumped and after a moment of silence, he said, “How much?”

“80%.”

“80%!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s heart tightened as what Zhong Yue did was just too scary.

The Imperial Emperor stared into Zhong Yue’s clear eyes and with a sigh, he asked, “Why?”

In a calm manner, Zhong Yue replied, “Your Majesty, in this world as it is right now, only by using the Fuxi’s power will I be able to protect myself and fight for your conquest.”

“King Yi, why are you so foolish? Just how do you want me to deal with you after the war?” sighed the Imperial Emperor.

Zhong Yue remained silent for a second and said, “Then, what do you have in mind?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian remained silent and the two of them said no words.

Meanwhile, the Yinkang Clan’s people were overwhelmed by the passing of their demon monarch but life had to continue; under Yin Fukang’s lead, the people of Yinkang Clan settled down. With the Demon Monarch Yin Kang’s passing bestowed this place with miracles, it had become a sacred ground much suitable for cultivation.

The lord and the vassal remained silent as they watched the busy Yinkang Clan.

Sometime later, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said, “I was thinking of exiling you into the unworldly world after everything was over. But that may just sicken and worry the many other vassals who contributed greatly to my conquest. Then I came up with another idea, which is to seal away your Fuxi bloodline but, are you willing to give up your power then?”

He looked towards Zhong Yue again and said seriously, “King Yi, I really do not wish to see your deaths in my hands, nor my master’s. Promise me, you must let me seal your bloodline away in the future!”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he slowly nodded, “In the future, I will definitely have Your Majesty to seal my bloodline!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian let out a relieved sigh and he smiled, “Then, everything is settled! King Yi, this fortress is important but I’ve not assigned you with any capable helpers. Coincidentally, I’ve managed to make a few Fuxi Celestial Race’s members surrender so I will be leaving two for you. While you have lifted the seals, you may not know much about the talents of the Fuxi Celestial Race. With them around, you can spend less time and effort to learn them. Fu Baozheng and Feng Shenyong, come here.”

The two Fuxi Celestial Race walked up and bowed, “Your Majesty.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, “From today onwards, you will be stationed here at the expense of King Yi. His orders will be your priority, understood?”

“Understood.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded and consoled, “King Yu had also lifted 80% of the bloodline seal in him and if I am able to trust him, then I could do the same to you. In the future, if I became the Heavenly Monarch, you will all be rewarded greatly. King Yi, they may not be monarchs, but their strength is beyond reproach as they are all peak Imperial Emperors. You can trust them.”

Without showing any emotion, Zhong Yue bowed.

“Now that you’ve lifted 80% of your bloodline, you mustn’t touch the rest of the seal. If you remove all the seals, the Path of Broken Reincarnation will emerge in your soul and that is the sixth seal.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said seriously, “The Path of Broken Reincarnation will stop your reincarnation path and that is the most dangerous. My teacher will be ambushing you in the Path of Broken Reincarnation and with his strength almost at the Dao God level, I won’t be able to help you at all. The Path of Broken Reincarnation involves the secrets of time and space, which are beyond my comprehension.”

His words struck Zhong Yue like a bolt of lightning.

Then, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian left with Fu Baotian.

With a mixed feeling, Zhong Yue watched as Imperial Emperor Xian Tian left the Heaven Suppression Fortress and thought, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian can think so good of me right now, will he finally be unable to stand me after I open the eighth secret realm?

Xin Huo’s voice sounded, “Zhong Yue, he might have grown killing intent towards you. Sealing your bloodline requires the blood sacrifice of innumerable lives like what the evil existence did. 100,000 years ago, the evil existence was already a peak monarch, hence, he had the ability to do this but Imperial Emperor Xian Tian does not have this ability yet.”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he suddenly smiled, “I hope so.”

Xin Huo continued, “Besides, you shouldn’t have promised him that. If you become enemies in the future, he will threaten you with this promise and by then, you will be in danger.”

“The bloodline seal can be lifted again and again, this is nothing.”

Zhong Yue calmly said, “I promised him this in order to ease the burden in my heart.”

“The burden in your heart?”

“King Yi, you are that imposter that tricked us out from the unworldly world?”

Fu Baozheng smirked, “You, how dare you trick us into our death? The death of my three friends is on you! How are you going to compensate us?”

Zhong Yue’s expression turned grimmer and his heart started boiling with killing intent, If I killed them right now, what will Imperial Emperor Xian Tian think of it?
