Chapter 1050: The River of Monarchs Coffins

Dao Venerate Fu Min was already dead; thus, his finger bone incarnation had no sentience. But even so, his incarnation's combat ability was still beyond terrifying.

Feng Tian Origin Lord, Innate Demon Monarch, Innate Celestial Monarch, Innate Evil Monarch, and Yuan Ya Deity King were also using their incarnations; but in stark contrast to him, they were far inferior in every aspect.

Even when the five ancient presences worked together, they still couldn't defeat him!

The [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] was cast out from his hands, every single skill was extremely abstruse, feeling like they were just pure representations of the universe's Daos.

Every move he made was distilled from the pure essence of the Dao. Even when the five ancient paragons were casting their strongest skills, they still couldn't break through his defenses.

They mystery man was casting the Tian Xuan Chariot, surging its power to the peak and it was only with the enhancements from the Heavenly Daos that the five ancient presences were not left in bad shapes. Finally, they were barely able to defend themselves from Dao Venerate Fu Min's incarnation.

The Tian Xuan Chariot's Heavenly Dao was the Heavenly Dao of Space. It transported the five paragons in and out of space, appearing at one end and the other in matters of split seconds. Whereas the five were standing on the chariot casting their perfectly-honed skills!

They didn't cast just the most exquisite totem patterns skills, but also the innate skills of the Dark Age. Moreover, they combined the two cultivation systems into one, making them far more unpredictable and indefensible!

They have all walked a unique path each. Their cultivation gathered the best of the Dark Age's innate cultivation system and the totem pattern cultivation system. If Zhong Yue was here to witness the battle, his eyes would be bright like stars as these five showcased the cultivation skills he had been dreaming of.

Zhong Yue had also tried to combine the two cultivation systems together, but his attainments were too shallow.

After all, it had only been a short while since he began trying, whereas Evil Monarch, Feng Tian Origin Lord, and the others had already been doing it for over millions of years. It should come as no surprise that their attainments were much deeper and that their skills were beyond imagination what Zhong Yue could currently fathom.

"Dao Venerate's incarnation sure is strong!"

The five paragons praised. The battle had nearly ravaged the place back into its most primitive state even before the birth of the universe - the state of chaos. The elements of earth, water, wind, and fire were ravaging the shattered space, but Dao Venerate Fu Min's incarnation remained unscathed.

But what terrified them most was that while their powers already terrifyingly strong, the impact force didn't even affect the other places of the Ancestral Court. The destructive shock waves would be completely absorbed away by the seals in the pathway before they could travel further!

This meant that there was still an horrifyingly powerful slaughtering array hidden somewhere in the Ancestral Court. It would be countless times stronger and more powerful than Dao Venerate Fu Min's incarnation!

If they left this pathway and stepped into the slaughtering array, they would be killed for sure. Even if they had come with their true selves, they might not even make it out alive either!

"Little friend, why aren't you still not powering Tian Xuan to its limits!?" Yuan Ya Deity King shouted.

The mystery man heard him and he quickly powered the Tian Xuan Chariot to its limits. Immediately, a sun and moon emerged above their heads and the chariot thill buzzed. The chariot thill represented the four stars that defined the Dipper's 'bowl' shape. Evil Monarch overlooked all in the center of the chariot, Yuan Ya Deity King stood on the (Dubhe), Demon Monarch on the (Merak), Celestial Monarch on the (Phecda), and Feng Tian Origin Lord on the (Megrez).

The five paragons were like giants controlling the Heavenly Daos, their powers skyrocketed and they were finally able to gain the upperhand with the help of the Treasure of Heavenly Daos!

"We mustn't delay longer, or that little brat will gain control over the Ancestral Court!"

Yuan Ya Deity King shouted, "Everyone, let's give in it our all and kill his finger bone incarnation!"

His black robe spread open as he turned into a crow-human celestial, seven light wheels rose up behind him and as he started chanting the innate godly language, his power surged high!

At the same time, Feng Tian Origin Lord had also turned into a phoenix-human celestial, the seven light wheels rose up behind her, and she started chanting Dao voices with her phoenix voice!

Innate Evil Monarch had also turned into his innate mortal body, the Evil Star emerged above his head and the seven light wheels appeared behind.

Innate Celestial Monarch and Innate Demon Monarch also swayed and took their strongest forms. Their Dao voices flooded the air, and the powers of the Dark Age were awakened!

The Tian Xuan Chariot gathered their powers together, lurking through the space and delivering powerful blows from all directions!

However, Dao Venerate Fu Min's finger bone incarnation was also growing stronger as their powers grew. This made the battle harder for them to fight. Soon after, all five of them were sustaining injuries, but Dao Venerate Fu Min's incarnation had more severe wounds!

After all, Dao Venerate Fu Min was already dead. This incarnation had no sentience and so was only able to exhibit the most basic fighting instinct. It couldn't react as swiftly as them.

Finally, when Dao Venerate Fu Min's incarnation suffered too many injuries, it was reduced to bone ashes.

On the Tian Xuan Chariot, the five paragons were panting heavily while the mystery man also heaved a breath of relief. Then, he retrieved the chariot.

The five paragons exchanged a look and saw the injuries on one another and laughed happily together.

"It's been a long time since we were injured," Innate Evil Monarch said, "It's been a long time since I've felt pain. I really do miss Dao Venerate Fu Min. Those days that he was here; although I was suppressed by him, I was filled with a burning spirit. But now, it's so difficult to find a way just for me to bleed."

Innate Demon Monarch smiled, "If he were still alive, he would be surprised to see how much we've improved. In truth, our powers now are already no weaker than his back in the days."

Yuan Ya Deity King nodded, "Mortals have a high degree of talent, but they are still just passengers to this universe. Even a figure like Dao Venerate Fu Min was no exception to their fate of sickness and death, while we live for eternity."

Just as he finished, his heart skipped a beat in alert and he looked down into the abyss. His face changed drastically and he exclaimed in shock, "What is that!?"

In the abyss, there were howls of gales!

Evil Monarch, Demon Monarch, Celestial Monarch, Feng Tian Origin Lord, and the mystery man quickly looked down and saw numerous black coffins floating up from the abyss. The coffins hovered above them and levitated toward the far end!

These coffins were huge, thick, and heavy. Even with their powers, they couldn't have seen through the coffin and see what was in it!

The number of coffins increased and they formed a river of coffins that flowed to the starting point of the pathway!

"These coffins..." Feng Tian Origin Lord was looking up as she murmured, "They definitely aren't Dao Venerate Fu Min, we've buried his corpse, we've seen his soul extinguished. So who would they be in the coffins?"

A few moments later, the black coffins have reached to the starting point of the pathway, they stopped and levitated above them, not moving even an inch anymore.

The ambiance suddenly turned incredibly spooky.

Even with their lifelong experiences with events, Feng Tian Origin Lord and the others were still feeling their hearts thumping. There were way too many coffins, and they were all so huge. Coffins like this weren't belonging to the standards for the ordinary gods.

"Ignore the coffins." Yuan Ya Deity King said solemnly, "We've passed the last stage, it's time we enter the abyss and see what Dao Venerate Fu Min has left us with!"

The other four ancient presences nodded in agreement. And it was at this moment, a soft scratching sound could be heard coming from above. It felt like some claws were scratching against their hearts, it was truly a horrible sensation!

Creakk.... Creakkk...

More soft scratching noises came from the roughly 3,000 black coffins!

The five paragons were puzzled and the mystery man grew anxious, they were all staring at the coffins in midair!

All of a sudden, one of the black coffin's lid flew opened followed by the other coffins next. The coffin lids detached from the coffins hovered horizontally in midair, and revealed the second coffin in the coffins!

Feng Tian Origin Lord lowered her voice, "Two-layer coffins? This is the standard of the ordinary gods!"

Bang, bang, bang.

The second layer coffin lids were opened, revealing the third layer. Then, the coffin lids were opening up at a much quicker speed every time, paving the coffin lids all over midair, slowly covering the whole sky!

The fourth layer, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, then the eighth!

Soon, all of the 3,000 black coffins were opened up eight times, revealing the golden coffins in the center!

"Nine-layer coffins, it's the standard for monarchs! Nine layers meant the Nine Springs!" Yuan Ya Deity King's face changed drastically and he screamed, "Those are 3,000 monarchs' coffins! The 3,000 Six Paths Worlds' 3,000 monarchs were hidden here by Dao Venerate Fu Min! RUN!"

The other four's faces also changed drastically. The coffins that flew out from the abyss were the coffins of 3,000 monarchs. Doesn't that mean there were 3,000 monarchs that were in the sky now?

3,000 monarchs, even when they were here with their true selves, they would've still been killed for sure!

One must know that these monarchs were not the same monarchs of the current era. They were the monarchs of Dao Venerate Fu Min's era where the Six Paths Reincarnations was established. These monarchs have been through countless gory fights and battles, and proved the magnificence of their Six Paths Reincarnations before they could become the monarchs!

Dong!

A huge corpse fell from the sky and landed behind them. Then, the nine-layer coffins in the sky all opened up, and grand and powerful silhouettes crashed down from midair!

The five ancient presences all quickly bolted out away as they fled from the scene. A flash of light was also rushing for the exit, it was the mystery man and his speed was surprisingly not much slower than the paragons!

Dong, Dong, Dong!

The monarch corpses landed from the sky. They slowly stood up while their numbers were increasing every second. They stood on the pathway and their bodies high up into the clouds!

"We won't make it. Quickly, cast the Tian Xuan Chariot!" Evil Monarch shouted loudly.

The mystery man quickly cast out the Tian Xuan Chariot and he replied, "Alright! Thank you senior for the reminder!"

The five were overjoyed until suddenly, the mystery man boarded the Tian Xuan Chariot alone and fled away. He cast the chariot and flashed past them, riding away at a speed they had no hope of catching up to!

"This little shit!"

The five paragons stomped their feet and cursed. The Tian Xuan Chariot was a Treasure of Heavenly Dao, it was also known as the First Flash. And indeed, its speed lived up to its name as it left them at the mercy of the 3,000 monarch corpses.

The 3,000 monarch corpses squeezed on the pathway. And with sounds of loud rumbles, the five presences were dragged into a blood-curdling battle.

It wasn't long before Yuan Ya Deity King's incarnation was crushed back into the tongue, Evil Monarch's incarnation back into the eyeball, Feng Tian Origin Lord the phoenix feather, Celestial Monarch into the skull, and Demon Monarch into the tail!

The five presences' incarnations were killed!
