Chapter 1073: Running Head
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“It’s finally starting!”
The Heaven Suppressing Fortress had now gathered more than 17,000 experts above the Deity level across the universe, all with the potential of becoming a monarch. The experts grew excited, a majority of them had seen the fight between Zhong Yue and Zhu Xie, the legendary battle that made Zhong Yue a legend!
Even those that missed the battle had heard of it before. There were also many existences that have witnessed the battle and recorded it down for the younger generations to study.
It was also in that legendary battle that the seventh secret realm had made its debut to the universe.
And now, all the other experts that had opened the seventh secret realm were gathered together in one place, ready to challenge Zhong Yue, the progenitor of the seventh secret realm. This would be a battle that would surely be recorded in history!
“Why didn’t I open the seventh secret realm?” Tian Xuanzi was quivering in intense excitement as he murmured, “If I can also partake in the battle and beat Yi’s ass, I sure can act even more arrogant than the Yanghou Clan brat.”
Jin Zhongyu gave a stern yell, his aura intensified, forcing the gods around to distance themselves away in shock. The battle between Yangguang Yuan and Yao Xingyue was already stunning enough, but by the looks of it, Jin Zhongyu’s prowess was no weaker than them, or not even stronger!
Pak, pak, pak—
The rattling sound of bones growing could be heard from within Jin Zhongyu’s body as heads began to grow out of his neck and hands grew below his armpits. His hands waved in midair and six divine weapons appeared in his hands. Each and every single one of them was a soon-to-be monarch weapon!
At the same time, there was another arm that grew below his armpit. It was also clenching a divine weapon as well!
Yangguang Yuan, Yao Xingyue, and the others stiffened up their faces. Three heads, seven arms, seven soon-to-be monarch weapons; this meant that not only did Jin Zhongyu opened the seventh secret realm, but his attainments in the Seven Paths Reincarnation was also deep!
The first six divine weapons represented his monarch-level attainments in the Six Paths Reincarnation, whereas the seventh divine weapon meant that his understanding in the seventh secret realm was already approaching the level of the Seven Paths Reincarnation!
If he had done all of this on his own without any guidance, then his talent would be something even they couldn’t compete against!
“It had only been a hundred years’ time since Mister Yi opened the seventh secret realm, how can someone possibly understand the seventh secret realm to such a level?” Rays flashed in Yao Xingyue’s eyes as he murmured, “Jin Zhongyu must have some kind of guidance from an extraordinary existence, it can’t be the Jintian Clan’s monarch!”
The seven monarch weapons quivered in Jin Zhongyu’s hands, and the sky trembled and the earth quaked. Every time the bell in his hand rang, a terrifying Dao voice would penetrate the souls of everyone around. The bowl in his hand could distort the dimension; the pagoda turned into eighteen Secular Worlds; the furnace was a star-smithing furnace; the staff was ferocious like a golden Jiao dragon; and the whip was like a lightning snake!
Not only was he equipped with long-range attacks, but he was also well prepared for close-quarter combat, not to mention that his skills were also extremely strong as well!
“King Yi is in danger!”
Lou Zhengshi and the others changed their faces drastically. The prowess Jin Zhongyu has demonstrated was exceptional, especially the seven monarch weapons.
“Even stronger than King Yi before!”
Pan Xu exclaimed happily, “Could this be the first Seven Paths Reincarnation’s skill ever created? he?alone might even able to take down King Yi already, there’s no need for Princess Yue to dirty her hands!”
Krong—
Jin Chongyu took a step forward and the dimensions in front of him rippled and cracked. In just one step, he reappeared in front of Zhong Yue while the cracked dimension fragments splintered to the sides!
There was a time limit to the usage of the seventh secret realm, he had to settle the battle quickly before then. Thus, he immediately cast the seven monarch weapons to their final form, combining the seven into one and at that moment. A faint silhouette of the Seven Paths Reincarnation emerged behind him!
It was a horrendous attack, but the whole scene was calm and tranquil, so quiet that it was unsettling. All the other sounds were suppressed, with only the faint chants of Dao voices being audible, as if the ancient gods were murmuring!
It was strange, unlike any other language, every single tone that was chanted was odd and peculiar, some short and some long. But they sounded like the ancient gods were giving their blessings!
Whether it be experts from the Zi Wei Galaxy or the ancient universe, they were all stupified by the skill that was seemingly snatching the powers of heaven and earth!
It was then that a loud and clear din could be heard covering over the chants, concomitant with a flash of a light ray. In the midst of the light, Zhong Yue could be seen holding a saber in both hands, swinging down at the seven light wheels!
The seven light wheels were the combination of the seven monarch weapons. As they clashed with Zhong Yue’s saber ray, the light wheels were broken apart!
Jin Zhongyu was sent backward for a dozen thousand miles away before he could relieve the impact force. Then, he rushed forward at immense speed, evading Zhong Yue’s saber as he attempted another strike. After all, a dozen thousand miles wouldn’t take more than a step for him to travel across.
But at the moment he laid foot before Zhong Yue and prepared to attack again, he suddenly found his hands disappeared.
Jin Zhongyu was shocked, he quickly looked back only to find his neck disappearing also!
He looked behind and saw his second head a hundred miles away from him, and further behind laid his third head, then further again was his neck, followed by his arms, palms, shoulders, chest, and legs.
Then, all the way back to when he was a dozen thousand miles behind were his two feet!
Jin Zhongyu shrieked in fear, his scalps tingled as he couldn’t comprehend what had happened!
But he wasn’t alone, no one was able to either. Compared to Jin Zhongyu, they could see more, but that still couldn’t stop fear and shock that was now surging through their hearts.
Jin Zhongyu was a dozen thousand miles back when he evaded Zhong Yue’s attack, then he was seen bolting towards Zhong Yue in the next second. When he moved, they saw his legs moving up but his feet remaining on the same spot.
His legs moved up, and his knees fell.
When he moved forward, his legs were left behind, then followed by his belly, then his palms, arms, shoulders, chest, neck, and finally his heads.
At the end of the sprint, only his middle head made it to in front of Zhong Yue!
He was so quick and fast that even he himself didn’t realize he was already dismembered.
Although all 17,000 experts saw Jin Zhongyu falling into pieces before their eyes, none could tell when Zhong Yue had dismembered him. Only the monarchs could see what happened and even they were shocked.
When Zhong Yue swung the saber down and broke the seven light wheels formed by Jin Zhongyu’s seven monarch weapons, he had already shattered Jin Zhongyu’s strongest move. And when Jin Zhongyu was moving backward, Zhong Yue’s saber ray disappeared out of plain sight as it had?slashed into the dimensions!
As Jin Zhongyu was flying backward, his Yuan Shen and mortal body were sliced apart by the Saber of Space, yet, he remained unknown to the very fact that he was already dismembered, still under the belief that he had successfully evaded Zhong Yue’s divine saber.
Thus, this left Jin Zhongyu consumed by fear to the sudden change.
What Zhong Yue had demonstrated with his saber strike was stupefying. It was powerful enough to even threaten Imperial Emperors.
Shocked, Jin Zhongyu quickly recalled his mortal body. Not only did Zhong Yue dismembered his mortal body, but his Yuan Shen was also dismembered. However, he could still feel the connections between the pieces, he only needed to reconnect them to return to normal.
But just as he has recollected his body parts, he saw Zhong Yue holding a saber scabbard in the other hand and was keeping the saber back in. His face turned pale and he shouted at the top of his lungs, “Mister Yi, mercy!”
It was the exact move that Zhong Yue had used to kill Zhu Xie. When the saber was returned to the scabbard, it released a soft din and the Dao voice triggered the Saber of Time’s power, killing Zhu Xie on the spot. Thus, how could he not be terrified when he saw Zhong Yue returning the saber into the scabbard?
As the saber was kept back into the scabbard, Jin Zhongyu’s face turned pale like snow, his soul almost disintegrated on its own out of fear, but quickly, he realized he was still alive. Right away, he was soaked in his own sweat and nearly collapsed to the ground, if it wasn’t because he has mustered the rest of his energy to keep his legs straight.
The saber and scabbard disappeared in Zhong Yue’s hands and he could be seen smiling, “Senior Martial Brother Jin, it was just a joke, don’t you worry. Today is the day where future monarchs gather, I will not take lives for no reason.”
Jin Zhongyu forced a smile, he tried to speak but was afraid that his quivering tone would make him sound weak. Thus, he kept his mouth shut and did not reply.
Zhong Yue glanced over the other seven, with a warm smile, he asked, “Senior martial brothers and sisters, anyone else?”
Tianyao Clan’s Yao Xingyue changed his face slightly as he murmured, “I knew it, even when I’ve opened the seventh secret realm and had the old man’s guidance, I still can’t match up to him. Yet, the old man was confident in telling me that I was invincible at the same level.”
Yangguan Yuan smiled, “King Yi, I have yet to recover from the previous battle. Spare me a hundred years or so, I will challenge you again once I’m fully recovered!”
“What a shameless brat, he is even more shameless than me!” Tian Xuanzi said happily to Fu Li, “We are the same kind of brats!”
Fu Li couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Princess Yue looked at Wu Qingxuan and the latter immediately understood the princess’s intention. She stepped forward and chortled, “Mister Yi, I am just a lady, please go easy on me.”
Zhong Yue replied in a gentle manner, “Princess need not show your smile. In my eyes, gender does not matter. If princess is strong, you will suffer heavier injuries; if you are weak, you will suffer lighter injuries.”
Wu Qingxuan winked her eyes as she smiled, “How so, mister?”
Zhong Yue answered in a serious manner, “The stronger you are, the harder it is for me to hold back, thus, the heavier the injuries you will suffer. If you are weak, I will have much leeway to control my strength.”
Wu Qingxuan gave a stern yell and seven light wheels emerged behind her. The light wheels have cut through the dimensions and with a push of a hand, the seven light wheels’ powers were gathered together and lunged at Zhong Yue.
Her fingers were moving in a rhythmic fashion, pushing light wheels out of her fingertips. In these light wheels were countless images of mountains, earth, rivers, skies, and seas. It was as if every single light wheel resembled a Secular World itself!
Her attack was different to Jin Zhongyu’s. As Jin Zhongyu was filled with a high battling spirit, his attack was also dominant in power, overbearing with killing intent. Whereas Wu Qingxuan’s attack was soft and gentle like a poet singing poems or an artist painting a drawing.
But to think that her attack was weaker than Jin Zhongyu’s would be a fatal mistake. It was just that she had hidden all the killing intent behind the art!
“Princess, what’s with the cute yelling?” Zhong Yue raised his hand as he laughed, “I’ve just said it myself. In my eyes, there’s no separation of genders, only allies and enemies!”
Their palms clashed together silently and fear radiated across Wu Qingxuan’s countenance. The seven light wheels behind her head shuddered as her body trembled. The sounds of bones rattling could be heard inside of her body and suddenly, she collapsed to the ground like a boneless snake.
