Chapter 957: Come Fight!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s brows were heavily locked. He thought Zhong Yue would’ve declined Zhu Xie’s call for battle but Zhong Yue answered instead!

He knew how strong the [Evil Tome] was. Innate Evil Monarch’s [Evil Tome] was renowned during the days of war. Countless strong and powerful monarchs had fallen to its power!

Innate Evil Monarch had cultivated this [Evil Tome], leaving a trail of destruction whose traces are still present in the God Order Era!

Toward the end of the Dark Age, this ancient Deity King picked up the totem cultivation system created by Great Sui and created his very own cultivation art – the [Evil Tome]. It was responsible for the unnatural deaths of many Heavenly Monarchs in history!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian didn’t experience those days himself, but his teacher had mentioned it before.

There was even a period of time where the Heavenly Monarchs of the Earth Order Era fought hard to take him down. But he could only be suppressed and sealed away, he was unkillable.

But after the death of the Heavenly Monarch that suppressed him, he would be able to free himself again with the help of the powers of worship to unleash havoc across the universe once again.

Mister Yi used our psyches to evolve a cultivation art, but that is most probably an art created to counter the [Thirty-three Layers Solar Heavens Scripture], not the [Evil Tome].

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was in shock and anger, and also nervous,?I’ve already told him how horrible the [Evil Tome] is, why is he still answering the call?

To come out with an art that could counter the [Thirty-three Layers Solar Heavens Scripture] was already an incredible achievement. To Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, it was already an impossible task.

Not to mention to use it to counter the [Evil Tome]. It was just purely impossible. To use an art designed to counter another art to fight against the [Evil Tome] was no tantamount to suicide!

It was unwise of him to answer the challenge!

Zhu Xie walked up to the Heavenly Deity Altar and looked around. The ancient altar was paved with marvelous totem patterns, painstakingly carved down by generations and generations of the Titing Clan ancestors. There were even monarch-level totem patterns.

This was an invaluable treasure to the Titing Clan. It was forged with the goal of allowing the Titing Clan gods to compete at the same level. This way, they would be able to determine the talents, potentials, flaws, and strengths of each and every Titing clansmen. With it, they would be able to set down different plans for the clansmen to improve and fully utilize their talents.

After all, the Titing Clan was a sovereign race from the ancient days. The actual depths of their true powers were impossible to ascertain. Before this altar was activated, when it was still in its dormant state, it was already enormous in size.

When the altar was placed on the ground, it looked to be only ten miles in width and length. But inside the altar, it was actually at the least 3,000 miles wide and long.

However, to gods like them, even this size was too small for them to fight. In just a few steps, they would be able to traverse its entire length. There wasn’t much space to fight in. Yet, when the altar was activated, its space would increase by at least 10,000 times. It was more than enough space for these young potential future monarchs to fight.

Zhu Xie walked up to Zhong Yue’s side and looked up at the board in midair.

The Future Monarchs Board was laid down by Zhong Yue and the other Heavenly Deities, True Deities, and Deity Overlords. There were more than a thousand names listed on them. There were no ranks yet, only names.

But now, although there were names on the board, some of them were already dead, having been killed by Zhu Xie.

On the board, Zhong Yue was listed at the top, Yin Fanxuan the second, and then the rest.

“This Future Monarchs Board is a little outdated, some of the dead ones are still here. Mister Yi, you listed yourself as first, such bravery.”

Zhu Xie looked at the names and licked his lips, he said casually, “Now that I am up here, you tell me, where should I be listed?”

His challenges had caused the deaths of over 30 experts in the True Deity Saint Board and also over 30 experts in the Deity Overlord Saint Board. Thus, Zhong Yue’s newly formed Future Monarchs Board has lost over 70 experts in just a short while.

Zhong Yue raised his hands, and the names of those who were slowly disappeared from the board. He said, “Zhu Xie, you are not on the board.”

Zhu Xie was startled, “I’m not on the board?”

Zhong Yue had the same placid, both externally in look and internally in his heart. It was as if he was casually speaking things unrelated to him, “A dead innate evil god is just a lifeless body, of course you are not in the board.”

Zhu Xie laughed happily, his evil aura slowly rise within. Suddenly, he turned to Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, bowed and said loudly, “Your Majesty, please have the gods activate the altar. I demand a fair fight with him, I want to eat him!”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming nodded softly, “When you need to, junior martial brother, do remember to hold back a little. Men, activate the Heavenly Deity Altar.”

Then, the Deity Emperors and Creators stood out from the formation, they returned to their gigantic true forms and roared togetherly, surging their powers into the Heavenly Deity Altar!

These gods were all belonging to the Heaven Court and were incredibly strong in power. Under their collective powers, the inner space of the Heavenly Deity Altar was crazily expanding. The totem patterns on the altar shone brightly and an abstruse, suppressing aura has filled the altar’s inner space.

Rays flashed across Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s eyes, he looked at the Juling Clan’s Ling Zheng, Yinkang Clan’s Yin Fukang, and the others and he conducted his psyche to them.

Then, Yin Fukang laughed and said loudly, “Men, come and help the Heaven Court’s senior martial siblings!”

He clapped his hands and the Yinkang Clan’s few tens of Deity Emperors walked out. They surged their arcane energy into the altar and made more of the altar’s patterns to light, causing the totem patterns to form into mountains and ridges.

Ling Zheng squinted his eyes and he too ordered the Juling Clan to help too. The Juling giants walked out roaring and also surged their arcane energy into the altar.

The altar’s inner space expanded again. The totem patterns in the inner space were enlarged bigger, causing the mountains to grow higher and the rivers wider!

“Deity Emperors and Creators of the Titing Clan, heed to my command, help them!” The Titing Clan’s messenger ordered.

Then, the Titing Clan gods have stepped out and they roared. Their Yuan Shen flew out into the altar and activated the hidden powers of the altar. Now, the altar was so strong that even the Deity Emperors inside it would be suppressed to the level of Heavenly Deity!

“Deity Emperors and Creators of the Zhuxiang Clan, heed to my command!”

“Deity Emperors and Creators of the Getian Clan, heed to my command!”

“Deity Emperors and Creators of the Jinti Clan, heed to my command!”

The representatives of the monarch and sovereign races all gave their commands to have their Deity Emperors and Creators to help activating the Heavenly Deity Altar.

Although the Heavenly Deity Altar was an Imperial Emperor-level treasure, the number of Deity Emperors and Creators activating it were far too many. Together, they were more than enough to activate all of the Heavenly Deity Altar’s powers, more than a thousand of them were not needed at all.

However, these monarch and sovereign races have taken different sides. They were all worrying of the other side playing funny tricks in activating the altar. Thus, they have all rather sent out their Deity Emperors and Creators to help activate the altar, to ensure the battle was executed as fair as possible by making it harder for the other side to take advantage of the Heavenly Deity Altar.

In the end, there were more than 10,000 Deity Emperors and Creators surrounding and powering the Heavenly Deity Altar.

Inside the altar was like a huge world. There were clouds and winds, mountains and rivers, lands and oceans. There were also stars hovering low in the sky, appearing larger than their actual size of just as big as the moon; because it was so low, they felt like they were completely reachable by hiking to the summit of the mountains.

The clouds were waving in between the low hovering stars, when the gales gush by, the stars would even sway by it.

This altar was now a world formed by the Dao totem patterns!

“This is our Titing Clan’s altar, worry not about it and use it as you like!”

The Titing Clan’s Imperial Emperor said, “As long as you have the strength to, you can even break everything inside of it. After the battle, the totem patterns will be able to reform those that are destroyed. So, two little friends, fret not and go all out! Your Majesty, whenever you desire.”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming looked at Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, Demon Monarch Yang Hou, he smiled, “My Dao brothers, do you think we can begin?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s eyelids skipped a beat, he quietly sighed in his heart and nodded, “Your Majesty, it may begin now.”

Demon Monarch Yang Hou smiled, “The [Evil Tome], I’ve seen it once, it left a deep mark in my memories. I didn’t think I would see it again today. Your Majesty, give the order then.”

Then, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming turned to Mister Bi Luo and asked politely, “What does Mister think?”

Mister Bi Luo quickly said, “The moment Zhu Xie walked out of my Bi Luo Palace, he is no longer one of us in the Bi Luo Palace anymore. Dead or alive, rich or poor, all is his and his alone. Your Majesty, proceed as you like.”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming turned to Goddess Shen Hou and smiled, “Goddess Shen Hou, what do you say?”

Goddess Shen Hou chuckled softly, “Your Majesty, I am the Heavenly Monarch of the last era. The Earth Order Era had passed a hundred thousand years ago, why do you still find the need to ask for my opinion? Furthermore, this is just a child’s play between two small gods, dead or not doesn’t matter.”

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming nodded and said solemnly, “Zhu Xie, Yi Feng, you will both engage in a fair and square battle. Dead or alive, it shall be the fate you’ve chosen yourselves. Begin!”

In the Heavenly Deity Altar, Zhu Xie and Zhong Yue were initially standing side by side. But when the Heavenly Deity Altar was activated, the inner space was expanded and as such, the two have been separated over 10,000 miles away.

Zhu Xie was standing on the summit of a mountain. Suddenly, his small body enlarged, his head reached to the sky and he stands on the land, the stars orbited around him. His evil aura suffused the air around and traveled 10,000 miles out!

“The celestials have the Celestial Dao, the demons have the Demon Dao, the living beings of the universe have their Daos.” His voice was loud, resounding the world and rumbling in the ears.

“The evils have the Evil Dao!”

“I am Zhu Xie, I shall lay down the Evil Dao for this universe!”

“The Evil Dao, it is…”

His voice grew even louder, inside of it, consisted the air of evil, and suddenly, he shouted!

“Dao!”

Krong–

A light wheel behind him glowed brightly and revolved rapidly. It was an image projected from the powers of his Yuan Shen. Inside of the light wheel showed scenes of the evildoers, kneeling down and worshipping him!

“Dao!”

He shouted the second time, and another light wheel was formed. This one showed the scenes of evillish creatures with horrible looks, roaring and screaming.

“Dao!”

“Dao!”

“Dao!”

“Dao!”

Six loud shouts and six light wheels were opened up behind Zhu Xie. There were the evildoers, the evilish creatures, the evil gods, the evil demons, the evil spirits from the Void World, and the last shout, called upon Zhu Xie’s Pang Gu giant, the god of the greatest evil!

Zhu Xie’s body grew bigger, layers and layers of Heavens emerged beneath him as he stepped the 33 Heavens down on his feet!

In the Layers Heavens, phantoms of the horrible looking evils appeared, they were weaponized, dancing and worshipping, these were the evils that nurtured his birth!

Zhu Xie’s was quivering as huge and sharp bones spiked out of his body. He was a handsome young man, but now, he has turned into a creature filled with bone spikes, looking like a celestial-demon hybrid.

He roared like thunders and rushed down from the 33 Layers Heavens, one step at a time, his aura has reached its greatest peak, coming down at Zhong Yue!

“COME FIGHT!”
