Chapter 1067: Serving A Lord Is As Perilous As Lying With A Tiger
An understanding light flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes as he now knew that the black robe belonged to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian but was worn by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian's demonic true body.
He had once seen Imperial Emperor Xian Tian's demonic true body, even sitting before it to study the Innate Demon Dao, gaining tremendously from it.
From the aura coming from the black robe, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian's demonic true body was here and he was hidden right in the Void World!
Only Yuan Shen and True Spirits could enter the Void World but with the characteristic of innate gods' body being Yuan Shen, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian's demonic true body was clearly hidden in the Void World but he still tried to steal Tian Pan regardless!
He's in the monarch level!
Zhong Yue's heart thumped, His demonic true body is in the innate demon monarch level now! He's going to go into a total war with the Heavenly Monarch now! Hmmm.. is the eye on his forehead opened? If that eye belonging to Innate Dark Monarch opened....
If that eye opened, would Zhong Yue still be able to hide from Imperial Emperor Xian Tian?
With that eye, Innate Dark Monarch would definitely see through Zhong Yue's disguise!
When that happens, what would Imperial Emperor Xian Tian do?
Would Zhong Yue be able to fight against Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, who has stepped into the monarch realm?
After some time, the frown on his face cleared and Zhong Yue shouted, "Men! Tell the world that I want to hold a future monarch meeting here!"
In the Heavenly River camps, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen Goddess opened their eyes at the same time. They both frowned and one took back the monarch robe while the other took back the arrow. They both then glanced at each other and shook their heads.
"Let's go," said Heavenly Monarch Di Ming calmly.
Mo Yin then hesitantly asked, "Your Majesty, the Tree of Life...."
"Mister Bi Luo is already on it."
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming smiled, "Mister, come, walk with me."
Mo Yin bowed and followed behind his master, who waved at Queen Goddess to signal her to leave first while Lou Zhengshi and the others were all dismissed.
After some time, they got out from the camps and Heavenly Monarch Di Ming said with a headache, "Mister, my teacher sent Junior Martial Brother Xie Yang this time with an item and told me to capture King Yi and present him to my teacher. The other senior martial uncles also sent their own representatives with respective items, also wanting to capture King Yi.... If I helped my teacher, I will inevitably offend Innate Demon Monarch, Innate Celestial Monarch and the others. Feng Tian Origin Lord and Yuan Ya Deity King will also be unhappy with me. But if I help the others, my teacher will be the first one to take my life."
He frowned, Zhong Yue was right opposite the river in the fortress, but he still felt difficult regardless. It was not that Zhong Yue was hard to deal with, but that Zhong Yue had just way too many enemies. All those existences that Heavenly Monarch Di Ming didn't dare to offend all wanted Zhong Yue dead. And he was sandwiched in the middle, something that gave him great pause.
"If this is the case, why doesn't Your Majesty just sit out of this?"
Mo Yin smiled, "Just focus on dealing with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. As for King Yi, just let the other paragons' disciples deal him. This way, no matter who captures Zhong Yue, Your Majesty won't offend anyone."
A smile appeared on heavenly Monarch Di Ming's face as he said, "You are right. No wonder Ghost Master couldn't win against Mister Yi and you."
Mo Yin's heart tightened, he felt like he was being preyed on, Could it be that he knows what we did and how Gui Youmin died because of his fate being weakened by me?
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, however, just said, "Mister, I suppose this far should be enough. For now, you will have to work harder to prove yourself useful, for if you became useless, I won't mind to stand up for Ghost Master."
Mo Yin's back became soaked in cold sweat right away.
Serving a lord was tantamount to serving a tiger; history had proven that this saying this was not an exaggeration, but were the likes of a Heavenly Monarch merely just a tiger?
At least a tiger's emotion could be deduced from its actions and thoughts, but the same could not be said for a Heavenly Monarchs!
Even after becoming a monarch, it would be difficult for Imperial Emperor Xian Tian to win against Di Ming.
Mo Yin thought.
He was almost scared to death by the words coming out from Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, a little bit more and he would've defected to the Heaven Breaching Fortress immediately!
But if he ran, he would be dead for sure!
How could someone like him escape from the likes of Heavenly Monarch Di Ming?
And if the Heavenly Monarch Di Ming really wanted to kill him, it would take less than a second!
One day, a messenger from the Heaven Breaching Fortress arrived, presenting an invitation letter to Lou Zhengshi before meeting with a few dozen gods, delivering the invitation letter from Zhong Yue. Lou Zhengshi immediately headed towards Mo Yin's with the letter and said, "King Yi is going to organize the future monarch meeting in the fortress and he's invited some of us."
Mo Yin asked, "The future monarch meeting? Has it been 100 years since that meeting in the Heaven Court?"
"Not yet but close."
Lou Zhengshi said, "I asked the messenger just now and he said that King Yi dispatched his men into Zi Wei and ancient universe to deliver the letter to every future monarch and everyone who has the potential of becoming a monarch. Come to think of it, it would take five years until everyone is notified and arrives at the fortress. After five years, it would be 100 years exactly."
Mo Yin looked at Zhong Yue's camp located far away and slightly frowned, "No wonder his fate is growing stronger each day. With the future monarchs all gathered around in his camp, his fate will be completely immune to me. Mister Yi, you really are a formidable foe!"
Lou Zhengshi asked, "Five years later, the rebel Yi's fate will reach the pinnacle with the future monarchs' fate all gathered there. Mister, should we attack now?'
Mo Yin shook his head, "General Lou, I will lend you the Insight of Fate and you tell me, is the enemy camp breakable right now?"
An eye opened in his forehead and with a point, he placed his finger on Lou Zhengshi's forehead, allowing him to see what Mo Yin saw and what Lou Zhengshi saw shocked him tremendously.
He saw that the fate of the Heaven Breaching Fortress Zhong Yue built was extremely condensed, Dao flowers blossomed in the void, Dao light split the skies apart and above the central camp were numerous Imperial Stars!
The fate surrounded Heaven Breaching Fortress entirely, turning it impenetrable and unbreachable, whoever that attacked the fortress would have to pay an arm and a leg!
He looked towards the Heaven Court where fate was still strong but appeared to be relatively weak after being absent with the might that suppressed the entire universe.
"Five years later when the future monarchs arrive, the fate will reach its peak, which is hundred folds stronger than now! If we can't breach the fortress now, there won't be a chance five years later!"
Mo Yin continued, "For now, we will have to wait for the meeting to end and attack only when his fate falls. Once the meeting is over, his fate will fall greatly! Oh, General Lou, will you be attending the meeting?"
"I will and I have to!" said Lou Zhengshi firmly.
Mo Yin was stunned for a second and Lou Zhengshi continued, "I am not betraying the Heaven Court, but this is the future monarch meeting, where there are no enemies but only companions, friends that gathered around to pursue the heart of Daos. King Yi is also dropping his duty temporarily if he is willing to invite me and welcome me with open arms thinking that I am a friend. How could I not go?"
Mo Yin nodded, "Just this point alone shows how he is better than me! I presume he invited the Huangting Clan, Dating Clan, and Panhu Clan's young magnates as well, will they all be going?"
Lou Zhengshi sent men to seek an answer from them and they all replied, "Of course, this only happens every 100 years, if we miss it, we would have to wait another 100 years."
Mo Yin thought, Even the generals and soldiers in our army insisted on attending, the others will also be there for sure. With the future monarch meeting, the world in the future will tremble before King Yi's presence!
...
Imperial Star.
The Diming Clan formed an alliance with the Wuming Clan and attacked Lilu Clan, who in turn requested help from the Zhongyang Clan. Both sides continued to battle ferociously for a hundred years; even the Heaven Court's Constellation Army arrived, but the Lilu Clan still prevailed.
On the field, bodies were everywhere and one day amidst of the chaotic battle, 100 gods arrived, flew towards different parts in the Imperial Star and one of them arrived at the battlefield and shouted, "Is Lilu Clan's Senior Martial Brother Lu Wang down there?"
Lu Wang, who was bathing himself in the bloodshed, raised his head and shouted, "I am, Lu Wang is over here!"
The god replied, "Under King Yi's order, I am here to present to you the invitation letter to the future monarch meeting that will be taking place in Heaven Breaching Fortress right outside of Imperial Star!"
With that, he channeled energy into the letter that was written by Zhong Yue and sent it flying to Lu Wang.
With a few stabs, Lu Wang struck down his enemies, grabbed onto the letter and burst out laughing after taking a look, "Tell King Yi that Lu Wang will be there on time! Where is Heaven Breaching Fortress?"
"Senior Martial Brother Lu Wang, just look up and you'll find it."
Lu Wang looked into the skies, where a divine fortress stood almightly right outside the skies Imperial Star, located not close to the star but still considerately close. From far away, when the sun shone on the fortress, the fortress was all covered in silver lining.
"That fortress is the Heaven Breaching Fortress? King Yi had reached all the way into the Imperial Star?"
Lu Wang was caught off guard by this and he exclaimed, "And here am I, wondering when this fortress appeared? So it's him huh?"
The god, on the other hand, did not leave as he took out another letter and asked, "Is Senior Martial Sister Lu Binger here?"
"Pass me the invitation letter and I will hand it to senior martial sister!" shouted Lu Wang as another Deity Overlord died in his hands.
The god handed out the letter and a golden armored celestial being fought his way out, surrounded by Deity Overlords and he said loudly, "I am the Diming Clan's Ming Wenyu, is there an invitation for me?"
The god took out a letter right away and said politely, "There is, here is Your Highness' letter and these are the letters for the other princes and princesses. If Your Highness' would be kind enough to deliver letters to them!"
Ming Wenyu burst out laughing after taking the letters over and shouted, "Brat Lu Wang, I am also invited to the meeting!"
Lu Wang let out an angry battlecry, charged towards Ming Wenyu with his own men and smirked, "By the time the future monarch meeting begins, Your Highness' body would have rotted a long ago!"
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue's emissaries flew towards different parts in the world, arriving at the many sovereign races' doorsteps, delivering the invitation letters. There were many strong magnates in the Imperial Star, most of whom were already reliable and independent experts. But there were also many who once shone brightly but had now lost their lives at some point throughout time.
However, because of the war, many other strong magnates rose. Zhong Yue's messengers delivered the letters and the many young magnates who received the letter were all surprised and happy. They showed the invitation letter to everyone around them and smiled, "King Yi knows about me!"
