Princess Wenyue was filled with fear. She quickly flew out of the Heaven Breaching Fortress like a ray of light toward the Heaven Court's military camp.
Zhong Yue hurled the saber ray up and hung it above the fortress. Beneath the saber was a scabbard and the saber slowly descended. In two hours, the saber would be fully sheathed.
The scene Heavenly Deity Altar soon became blanketed in silence.
The shocking development of the situation came wave after wave, appalling the experts until they were lost for words!
The Seven Paths Reincarnation!
Killing a Deity Emperor innate G.o.d!
Challenging the Heavenly Monarch with Princess Wenyue's life!
Even Yangguan Yuan, who dared to disturb Heavenly Monarch's birthday celebration ceremony, was left in shock. He couldn't have done any one of the three of what Zhong Yue had done whereas the frantic move of directly challenging the Heavenly Monarch was far beyond his imagination!
He was already considered frantic to offend the ancient universe's and Zi Wei's experts, but Zhong Yue was even more frantic than he was!
Lou Zhengs.h.i.+, Ting Yuji, Pan Ji, and the other Heaven Court Imperial Emperors exchanged a look. They were dead quiet but cold sweat could be seen on their foreheads.
King Yi had planted a skill inside Princess Wenyue's body and challenged the Heavenly Monarch with it. As subjects to the Heavenly Monarch, they should be standing up and condemn Zhong Yue's presumptuous actions and bring him in to the Heaven Court to sentence him to death.
But the truth was that they couldn't. They were now in Zhong Yue's territory, inside of the Heaven Breaching Fortress. Other than the Imperial Emperors, who else would dare to make a move against Zhong Yue?
Furthermore, Zhong Yue couldn't be held accountable for what happened, it was Princess Wenyue that instigated this whole episode by trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate Zhong Yue in front of everyone. Her actions had put Heaven Court's name to shame.
If they continued to pressure Zhong Yue, they would be seen as accomplices to Princess Wenyue's vicious plan and gave Zhong Yue the reason to also eliminate them.
“Looks like many of you have forgotten, King Yi was never a soft-hearted man.” Tian Xuanzi suddenly said. His voice broke the oppressing silence, “Those who've died in the hands of his army numbered more than a hundred million already, doesn't it?”
Hundun Yu took out a divine mirror, he checked the figures and corrected, “126 million lives, but a few million of them are considered missing, not killed dead by our Heaven Suppressing Fortress's army.”
All the G.o.ds around the Heavenly Deity Stage stared at Zhong Yue, some even filled with shock and fear. Zhong Yue was sitting below the saber like a gentle young man, slowly waiting for the saber to enter the scabbard. But in their eyes, he had turned into a devil that was sitting above the corpses of a hundred million lives he has slaughtered!
Gentle and kind, treating everyone with warmth and manner, but all that was just a facade.
From the day he entered their eyes, his path was already built upon the corpses and stained with the blood of his enemies!
Jin Zhongyu, who had just challenged Zhong Yue, felt a cold down his spine, to think that his head still remained intact on his neck, he never felt so grateful before.
Time slowly pa.s.sed as the saber fell closer to the scabbard bit by bit.
At the same time, Princess Wenyue rushed into the Heaven Court's camp. Her hairs were in a mess and her voice cracked as she screamed at the top of her lungs, “Father, mother, quickly save me, please!”
In the camp, the generals swarmed out and saw Princess Wenyue ramming straight for the Heavenly Monarch's palace, they didn't dare to stop her.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen G.o.ddess heard her cry and quickly walked out of the place, they saw Princess Wenyue kneeling on the floor and kowtowing continuously while crying, “Father, mother, save me!”
As she finished talking, her psyche rumbled and explained the situation to her parents.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming's face changed slightly and he raised his voice, “Who gave you the permission to do this? How dare you! Do you know who King Yi is? He has the lives of a hundred million of my soldiers, seized half of my territory, and killed Ghost Master! Who gave you the courage to plot such a crude a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on him? Who proposed you the idea?”
Princess Wenyue s.h.i.+vered in cold, she lowered her head, “Someone who calls himself Mister Wuji. He said this will kill King Yi.”
Queen G.o.ddess said from the side, “She is, after all, our daughter. We can't let her die like that in King Yi's hands. Your Majesty, let's just eradicate King Yi's skill.”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was still fuming, he humphed coldly and cast his divine psyche out to inspect Princess Wenyue's body. Seconds later, his face changed and pondered, he shook and commented, “There is nothing in Yue'er's body but her own messed up cultivation base. I can't see King Yi's skills.”
Queen G.o.ddess was surprised, she also cast out her divine psyche and inspected Princess Wenyue. Inside of the princess's body, there were no abnormalities, no foreign forces, and no skills.
By the looks of it, Zhong Yue didn't leave any skills in her that could threaten her life. But Zhong Yue's saber ray wouldn't have swept across her body for nothing, he must have planted something inside of her!
The two monarchs exchanged a look sternly. Heavenly Monarch Di Ming took out an incense stick and burned it. Then, he calculated the time and removed a part away from the incense stick.
It has been a while since Princess Wenyue was. .h.i.t by the saber, there isn't much time left.
The incense stick was quietly burning, time was moving slow but the two monarchs' faces grew gloomier.
It was only a Deity Overlord's skill and yet, even the two monarchs like them couldn't find anything. It was truly a blow to their confidence!
Zhong Yue was openly challenging their attainments in Daos!
“Heavenly Eye!” Queen G.o.ddess's third eye opened and revealed all of Princess Wenyue's secret realms, but she still couldn't find anything.
A Dao flew out of Heavenly Monarch Di Ming's body. It entered Princess Wenyue's earhole like a snake and it slithered in and out of every secret realm in her body. But he frowned just seconds as he also found nothing.
“Dao of Time!” Heavenly Monarch Di Ming exhaled deeply and said solemnly, “Just like how he had killed Junior Martial Brother Zhu Xie. It's extremely difficult to counter this type of skill. There aren't many that have cultivated the Time Dao. We need to find someone who has cultivated it in order to find his skill and dispel it.”
Queen G.o.ddess pondered, “Time Dao. So few cultivate it, and an even lesser number has mastered it. I hear that in the ancient days, there was a Time Deity King, but he would've been dead long ago. Now, the most renowned ent.i.ties that have made their name for their masteries in the Time Dao would be the Earth Order Era's f.u.xis.”
Her eyes brightened up and she urged, “Your Majesty, in the State of Heavenly River, there are those who still have the f.u.xi's cultivation heritage. They might have someone who has cultivated the Time Dao!”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming ordered solemnly, “Zitong, stay here and suppress any abnormalities in Yue'er's body, protect her Yuan Shen and mortal body and most importantly, safeguard her soul! I will go to the State of Heavenly River and find a f.u.xi who has mastered the Time Dao to save our daughter!”
Queen G.o.ddess nodded.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming suddenly disappeared from the palace and in the next second, s.p.a.ce cracked in front of the State of Heavenly River as he moved out of the s.p.a.ce rift.
He cast out a decree and walked into the State of Heavenly River.
Moments later, he entered the State of Heavenly River and his divine psyche rumbled out like raging seas in all directions. He shouted, “Sinners, listen. I am the inc.u.mbent Heavenly Monarch, I am here to find a sinner who has mastered the Time Dao!”
His voice and divine psyche have caused a ruckus across the whole state. Just seconds later, there were many ancient f.u.xis that flew up in the sky and knelt when they saw Heavenly Monarch Di Ming. They were chanting, “The sinners greet Heavenly Monarch, Your Majesty!”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming frowned, he shouted, “Who has mastered the Time Dao?”
An old man raised his head and smiled humbly, “Sinner Feng Jizu, I've some understanding in the Time Dao, I've cultivated our f.u.xi Clan's incomplete [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture].”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming didn't say a word, he grabbed on the old mand and bolted out. The old f.u.xis were left puzzlingly on the ground as they didn't know why was the Heavenly Monarch in such a rush that he didn't even care about them.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming's speed was immense, in just a few breath's time, he has brought Feng Jizu back to the Heaven Court's camp. He walked into the palace and saw Queen G.o.ddess's Six Paths Reincarnation surrounded Princess Wenyue, suppressing the powers inside of the princess's body.
Behind Queen G.o.ddess, there were thousands of Creators and Deity Emperors with their strongest weapons and Heavens, all surrounding Princess Wenyue!
Then, there were also 95 innate G.o.ds casting out their innate Daos and entered Princess Wenyue's body. Some even splashed their blood out and tried to use the innate blood to protect her life!
The innate G.o.d's blood was the best medicine other than saint herbs. With the 95 innate G.o.ds blood helping her with their blood, one could tell just how severe the situation was!
To the side was a human standing on an altar casting a ritual. Feng Jizu could vaguely tell that the human was trying to preserve the princess's life!
Feng Jizu was stunned. A monarch presence's full power, the many experts, treasures equivalent to a Six Paths World, the innate G.o.ds, a ritual to preserve her fate, what kind of injuries would require such a grand formation?
“Your Majesty, we've also checked the princess's body, there is nothing we have found.” The G.o.ds reported.
Feng Jizu didn't dare to delay, he quickly moved forward and inspected the princess's body carefully. Suddenly, he saw a light curtain and he smiled, “Your Majesty, G.o.ddess, this is the saber ray of the future. The one who has left this saber in the princess' body would be a master of Time and s.p.a.ce Dao. He didn't just swing one saber strike, but millions of saber strikes! These saber strikes have already struck on the princess at different times of the future. Although we cannot see it yet, but in the future, they will appear out of nowhere and kill the princess.”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming's face turned dark and gloomy, he said frigidly, “If you can save my daughter, I will grant you wealth beyond your reach. If you fail, then you will die with her!”
Feng Jizu s.h.i.+vered, he replied carefully, “Whoever did this is exceptional. His saber strikes didn't come from the outside from the inside. As long as the saber strikes appear, the princess will die. However, his attainments in the Time and s.p.a.ce Dao is strong, but his cultivation base is not as strong as mine. It's not difficult to break his skill. If I fail, Your Majesty, G.o.ddess, just take my head!”
Six light wheels emerged behind his head, he cast out the Time and s.p.a.ce Dao and twined them together like two Jiao dragons.
Casting up the Jiao dragons, Feng Jizu slammed it hard down on Princess Wenyue's head!
