Chapter 1005: Death To Those Who He Stares
Zhong Yue's gaze had triggered the bell, attracting its detection, and without even a second, the bell unleashed its power upon this daring gaze. If it weren't because of Zhong Yue's decisive action, they would've already been crushed as soon as the bell rang!
Such was the monarch's might, the power of a monarch weapon. How could they possibly dream of resisting it?
Dashing through one dimension after another dimension, the ancient ship evaded the monarch weapon's might and suddenly, after ramming through the dimension barrier, the ship arrived at a very peaceful and serene dimension.
The ship's wings continued flapping quickly, carrying the ship and onboard, Zhong Yue, Fu Qizhi and Hundun Yu were awestruck by what they saw.
In this dimension, there were neither living beings, stars, sun, water, land, objects. Instead, it was filled with gigantic spirits.
These majestic spirits were illuminating, bringing light upon this mysterious dimension; some of them were in slumber, some writhing slowly and some showered in the power of worship from the lower realms.
As the spirits floated in the absolute quietness, the ancient ship sailed passed them.
The Void World!
Hong long—
The next thing they knew, the ancient ship was swept away by an enormous strength and they were knocked back into the Zi Wei Galaxy from the Void World.
"Strange, what caused the abnormal activity from the bell?"
In the Huangting Clan, the gods all got out and looked around. In an instant, the land shone brightly before their power while Zhong Yue's ancient ship lurked within the shadows, allowing them to escape from the Huangting gods' sweeping.
"This ship can actually enter the Void World?"
The shocked Fu Qizhi shouted, "Then we can enter the realm again to meet our Fuxi Celestial Race's ancestors!"
"Not possible."
Zhong Yue rebutted, "We merely accidentally entered that place. We can't tarry there. Also, we can't bring any real objects into the Void World or we will be ejected again."
The disappointed Fu Qizhi stuttered and he nodded; previously, they only managed to ram into the Void World with the ancient ship's momentum but in a blink of an eye, they were rejected by the Void World again. It was just like Zhong Yue said, they wouldn't be able to enter the Void World if they were corporeal.
The Void World! We will get there one day and the Fuxi ancestors, we will be able to see them sooner or later!
Zhong Yue inhaled deeply, his eyes flashed and he thought, But not now! Can this ship escape from the monarch bell's detection and sneak into the Huangting sacred ground?
Entering the Huangting sacred ground protected by the Heavens Divine Dao bell was not easy.
While the ancient ship was an exotic item forged by the ancient Deity Kings to enter the Dao World, it had already sustained a certain level of damage, hence, Zhong Yue was not confident that it would be able to evade the bell's detection.
Oddly, the bell was a monarch weapon and a monarch weapon would not unleash its full power at every second; the Fusang Tree's branch in Hundun Yu's hand was also a monarch weapon but at usual times, it took the form of an ordinary tree branch and would only turn into a towering divine tree when needed!
But the Heavens Divine Dao Bell's full power was unleashed and that was going against the logic.
What is the Huangting Clan up to?
Zhong Yue's divine third eye continued examining the sacred grounds in their land; the Huangting Clan was way too close to the Heaven Suppression Fortress. At such a short distance, if the Huangting Clan suddenly launched an attack on the Heaven Suppression Fortress, there was no way the Heaven Riding Fortress and Shield Base Fortress's reinforcements would make it in time!
After all, this was a sovereign race that possessed both monarch weapon and monarch spirit!
Besides, the Dating Clan and Huangting Clan are sibling races!
Zhong Yue's heart sank to the bottom; which side was the Huangting Clan on in the war between the seven monarchs?
Without a sign, his pupils shrank and his heart gripped. Among the sacred grounds, Zhong Yue saw a place where palaces stood highly on the ground. In these palaces, Zhong Yue saw many familiar totem patterns.
Those were the unique totem patterns possessed only by the Fuxi Celestial Race!
The Earth Order Era's Heaven Court remnants!
Zhong Yue was caught off guard by what he saw; after the Earth Order Era's Imperial Star was destroyed, its shattered pieces later became the State of Heavenly River. Yet, he found one of the pieces in Huangting Clan and it became one of their many sacred grounds!
Zhong Yue said, "Xin Huo, take over my body, cast the [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] and look for Fu Li and Bi An!"
Right away, Xin Huo took over Zhong Yue's body and the divine third eye shone brightly in an instant. As the ray in his eyes crossed, it revealed everything hidden away from plain sight!
Through the stacked dimensions and cloud layers, everything within Huangting Clan was laid bare before his eyes!
The [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] was the ninth Fuxi Heavenly Monarch, Monarch Xi Hao's, ultimate art. It was an art that saw through everything. In simpler terms, it was an art that revealed all secrets and one that could kill anyone that its gaze lays upon.
Xin Huo went into slumber during Monarch Xi Hao's reign, and thus, he was able to obtain the full and complete [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] from the monarch himself.
The [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] that Feng Zhen had obtained was incomplete, but it was already enough for him to cultivate to the monarch level. Unlike him, Xin Huo had the complete technique, which started off as a monarch level art so in his hands, it was just like Monarch Xi Hao was the one that casted this ultimate art! Albeit it was just the True Deity level Monarch Xi Hao, it was still absolutely powerful.
Under Xin Huo's gaze, the seals, arrays, and arrangements in Huangting Clan spread bare in his vision and there were no longer secrets in them!
The grand palaces also became invisible under the shine in his eyes!
Through his own eye, Zhong Yue began searching for Fu Li's location and his heart squeezed upon seeing what he saw, "That is the Yu Lin Army and the Heavenly River Navy Fleet! There is also the Panhu Navy!"
Through the [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils], Zhong Yue clearly saw countless soldiers hidden within the palaces!
The Heavenly River Navy Fleet was moving the massive warships right into the palaces and among them were countless winged gods from the Yu Lin Army!
Apart from them, there was the Panhu Navy!
The Panhu Navy was very easy to be differentiated as they all had three heads, three eyes and a moon in their eyes!
In the endless palaces, the Panhu Navy, Heavenly River Navy Fleet, and the Yu Lin Army all hid silently within!
The Huangting Clan has reached an alliance with the Heaven Court, in other words, they have sided with Heavenly Monarch Di Ming!
Zhong Yue's heart sank once more; Huangting Clan siding with Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was reasonable and well within expectations, but no one received a word about the arrival of Heavenly River Navy Fleet, Panhu Clan and the Yu Lin Army in the Huangting Clan!
What are the informants doing! The enemies are almost at my door already and they reported nothing back! Could it be that the spies are all erased by the enemies?
Zhong Yue calmed himself down and he was grateful that he came to the Huangting Clan this time or he would only receive this news upon the arrival of the enemies at his doorstep!
He continued searching for Fu Li and soon, he found Fu Li within a prison cage, hung high in the air and guarded by many experts.
This prison was probably the Heavenly Prison from the old Earth Order Era used to imprison dangerous criminals and it was moved to this place by the Huangting Clan.
However, little fat boy Bi An was nowhere in sight and Zhong Yue found no sign of him in the prison.
Xin Huo moved his vision away, continued sweeping through the Huangting Clan and when his gaze met with the Heavens Divine Dao Bell, Xin Huo did not trigger the bell's alarm at all as his techniques were far superior to Zhong Yue's.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue's heart thumped upon seeing Bi An within a palace.
The fat boy was now sitting in a huge cauldron where there was a stove underneath the cauldron, burning fiercely and a seal right on top of the cauldron. Around the cauldron were a few Huangting Clan's gods carrying huge and enormous divine herbs and pouring them all into the cauldron.
Meanwhile, Bi An sat amongst the divine herbs speechlessly, grabbing them all and stuffed them into his mouth while mumbling something.
Beside the stove were a few old men from Huangting Clan casting energy into the stove to keep the fire burning and while doing so, they were slamming out Daos markings as they were trying to cook Bi An along with the herbs.
Judging at their Imperial Emperor level, these old men were probably the Huangting elders.
Xin Huo continued sweeping around and Zhong Yue saw the commander of Heavenly River Navy Fleet Lou Zhengshi and a few more powerful ones sitting together as they discussed something.
Beside Lou Zhengshi was Panhu Clan's clan master, Pan Ji and beside Pan Ji was Yu Lin Army's commander, Sui Qinghong, who was also a peak Imperial Emperors.
And the one at the main seat was the Huangting Clan's clan master, Ting Daoji.
Behind Ding Daoji stood two gods, a young and an old one; the young one seemingly noticed something and looked towards the direction of Zhong Yue right away.
Alarmed and tensed, Zhong Yue quickly shouted, "Xin Huo, close your eyes!"
Xin Huo closed the three eyes right away and the young god who saw nothing became even more surprised.
In the saint palace, Ting Daoji smiled, "Fengcen, what's the matter?"
"Someone's peeking at us from the void."
The young god, Ting Fengcen's forehead emerged an eye and he said, "I'll check with my Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils!"
"Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils?" asked a surprised Lou Zhengshi, "That is the Fuxi Celestial Race's ultimate art! I thought it can only be cultivated by a Fuxi, how did you manage to cultivate it?"
Ting Daoji touched his long and lush beard and smiled, "Senior Martial Brother Lou, when our Huangting Clan aided in the suppression of the Fuxi Celestial Race's rampage, we had gathered a pool of their blood. My son, Fengcen, is of great talent and after absorbing the Fuxi blood, he managed to cultivate it into his eyes and achieve the Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils."
"I see."
Lou Zhengshi praised, "During the rebellion suppression, the Huangting Clan was one of the main powers and many of the great ones were from this clan as well. Little friend Fengcen, what did you see?"
Ting Fengcen shook his head and said, "That existence must have left, I couldn't find him."
Lou Zhengshi was surprised and he suggested, "Could it be that he is one of the many strong ones from Heaven Suppression Fortress?"
"There is someone like that in Heaven Suppression Fortress?"
Ting Fengcen said, "Bah, the so-called Heaven Suppression Fortress is nothing more like a tiny hill before we Huangting Clan that will be crushed in no time!"
Lou Zhengshi frowned, "You mustn't underestimate King Yi, his strength...."
Ting Fengcen interrupted right away, "Senior Martial Uncle Lou, you do not know the power of Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils. My three eyes will kill whoever I focus my gaze at! As a Deity Emperor, once our army arrives at the fortress, I will lure that King Yi out and kill him with a stare, decimating his soul and spirit!"
