Chapter 1066: Monarchs Fighting Over Treasures

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Ever since Zhong Yue’s arrival, the building of the Heaven Breaching Fortress and the forging of Tian Pan, many in the Imperial Star were alerted and no ordinary powers dared to rob Zhong Yue of his precious item.

Only the monarch races dared to!

But even so, their clan masters weren’t brave enough to show themselves. After all, Zhong Yue was too powerful that it even exceeded ordinary monarch races. Hence, the only way left was through the element of surprise under the chaotic situation. But little did they know that the monarchs in Imperial Star were also eyeing the Tian Pan!

The identity of the one who owned the monarch sword remains a mystery. With a swing, he cut off all the hands of those clan masters who tried to steal the Tian Pan!

From the skies fell a dozen severed hands of the peak Imperial Emperors, each holding various precious items and Heavens as they all fell right into the fortress.

The monarch sword moved around swiftly and with a simple flick, it lifted the Tian Pan up but the wind raged suddenly as a banner came striking the sword, wrapping around it and hurling it away before it wrapped onto the disc.

Then, the monarch banner dove into the dimensions only to have itself forced out of the dimensions to drop the Tian Pan.

It was a cauldron that spread deep, a terrifying and vast monarch presence forced the banner out. After pushing the banner out, the cauldron came out of hiding and slammed onto the banner.

After that, it spun around, arrived at the top of the Tian Pan and started shining brightly, launching a light ray that pulled the disc into it.

But a 36 joint golden rod appeared behind the cauldron and struck onto it, sending the cauldron rolling away towards the far!

The golden rod’s 36 joints split, like a golden dragon dancing around. It bit onto the Tian Pan and started flying away quickly before the monarch sword sliced through its joints and split it apart again.

But just as the monarch sword was about to lift the Tian Pan up, an arrow knocked the sword away and started carrying the disc away towards the Heavenly River camps. As the arrow was halfway back to the camps, a black robe descended from the skies, covering the arrow and the disc. It rolled around quickly and shattered the arrow before flying back to the void.

Seeing this, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming removed the monarch robe he was wearing and hurled it into the skies. The robe covered the skies and the stars right away, trapping the black robe in it and stopping it from escaping.

However, just as Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was about to retrieve the robe, the monarch banner came flying close and stabbed its holder onto the rob, piercing both the monarch robe and black robe at the same time along with the Tian Pan.

The monarch sword, on the other hand, cut both the robes while the golden rod dove into the hole opened by the sword. The cauldron attempted to suck all of the monarch weapons into it, only to be knocked away by another arrow.

The monarch weapons’ battle had reached a stalemate, and at the same time, Zhong Yue’s voice sounded out as he laughed, “Dear monarchs, can you even use it even if you take it? None will succeed in taking what belongs to me!”

With a roar, the Tian Pan spun quickly, evaded the monarch weapons and flew right towards Zhong Yue while the many monarch weapons tailed behind.

“Ladies and gentlemen, where are our Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ monarch weapons?”

As soon as Zhong Yue said this, the Fusang Divine Tree quickly emerged from the ground, the Heavenly River Suppression Cauldron rose into the air, Long Zhi and Jiao Teng activated their own monarch weapons while Zhong Yue channeled his power into the Create Evolve Mystical Gate.

The five monarch weapons’ might erupt, connected with one another to keep the hostile weapons away.

But just as Zhong Yue reached for the Tian Pan, a wave of fear washed over him as he felt the scepter of death right before him. The next thing he knew, an extremely huge tree was ramming towards him. This tree was all writhed and on its branch stood a sleepy old raven.

The Tree of Life!

Zhong Yue had goosebumps, without even trying to resist, he turned away quickly while the old raven bit onto the Tian Pan. The huge tree then rammed back into the void. Just as they were about to leave, a huge hammer struck the tree, slamming it and the old raven out from the void to crash right into the Heavenly River!

With Tian Fa in his hand, Mister Bi Luo charged towards the ancient tree furiously.

When Zhong Yue was forging the disc outside of the Imperial Star, as the Heaven Empyrean’s messenger, Mister Bi Luo was inevitably attracted to the movements and he decided to check it out. The Tree of Life once belonged to Bi Luo Palace, but was later stolen. Up until now, Mister Bi Luo still couldn’t find out who was responsible for this. Hence, it was natural that he was enraged after seeing the Tree of Life again, causing him to come forth with Tian Fa!

Dong—

When Tian Fa slammed onto the Tree of Life, the other monarch weapons trembled before Tian Fa’s might, their might forcefully weakened to a lower state and they stood no chance against Tian Fa!

The Heavenly Dao innately stood on a level higher against monarch weapons, even when they were yielded by monarchs they could not fight against Tian Fa. The dimension rumbled, shattered and fell apart.

Seems like the Tian Pan is not completed and is not as good as Treasures of Heavenly Dao such as Tian Fa.

Zhong Yue was a little let down by this scene; with everything he had poured into forging the Tian Pan, it was still not as good as the Bi Luo Palace’s Tian Fa.

However, it was already impressive enough to be able to attract the monarchs.

Whose hand did the Tree of Life fall into? From their attacking patterns and forms, I can still identify their owners, but I have little idea of the one possessing the tree right now.

Zhong Yue looked into the skies where the turbulence came from. The stars died out as the battle put out the stars and killed them.

The monarch robe obviously belonged to the Heavenly Monarch, the arrows belonged to Queen Goddess, the monarch sword’s aura was similar to the Zhongyang Clan’s art, the banner was reminiscent of Qing He Clan’s Great Monarch Qing He, and the golden rod bore the Jin Tian Clan’s presence.

As for the black robe, it was very familiar to Zhong Yue and he recalled seeing it somewhere.

Great Monarch Qing He and Monarch Qing Tian were two other monarchs among the seven of them in the fighting of fate. The other five were Chang Sheng, Jin Wu, Yang Hou, Di Ming, and Xian Tian.

Monarch Chang Sheng did not show up, Jin Wu and Yang Hou are still in the ancient universe. Could it be that the one who stole the Tree of Life was Chang sheng Clan’s Monarch Chang Sheng?

Zhong Yue kept the disc away and thought,?The monarch sword suspected belonging to Zhongyang Clan… Hmmm, could it be that at least a monarch is still alive in their clan? No wonder the Diming Clan couldn’t destroy the Lilu Clan after they formed an alliance with Zhongyang Clan. The Diming Clan is the monarch race of Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, even he is a little helpless when he has to deal with Xian Tian Palace and the Zhongyang Clan at the same time. In the seven monarchs’ fate fighting, the Zhongyang Clan’s monarch did not show up, which also means that he is hiding his strength and unwilling to remain staying away from the whirlpool of war.

The few monarch weapons fought with Tian Fa and when the battle intensified, even Mister Bi Luo himself went into the battle, not only did he attack the Tree of Life, he also plunged into the other monarch weapons without bothering about the consequences anymore!

Right now, the anger in him had risen to the peak for these monarchs were obviously trying to hijack him, showing clear desire towards the Tree of Life. Their actions definitely pissed him off!

The battle slowly shifted further away and finally, even Zhong Yue no longer had a clear view on it anymore, now only able to feel the resonant pulse of the battle from afar.

The Tree of Life is dead but to think it still possesses such powerful strength that it can stand on equal ground with Tian Fa… Great Si Ming was really impressive back then! Right! That crow on the tree!

Zhong Yue suddenly recalled the time when the tree rolled out from Bi Luo Palace and that there was a crow standing right on its branch!

Back then, when the Tree of Life shown up again, he still saw the crow standing on the branch, unscathed even when Tian Fa and the tree clashed ferociously!

Not to mention that the crow was still there, even the mysterious monarch who stole the tree couldn’t even chase the crow away!

Yuan Ya Deity King is also a crow! Could it be that it was him behind the scenes? Is the monarch that stole the Tree of Life related to Yuan Ya Deity King?

The Tree of Life was Great Si Ming’s sacred herb, one of the three great spiritual roots. He would definitely come back for the Tree of Life, but what is the crow doing on the tree?

Also, why would Yuan Ya Deity King view this tree as important when it’s already dead?

Zhong Yue was left with many unanswered questions. Meanwhile, the situation slowly returned to normal and the rest in the Heaven Breaching Station cleared up the mess. Fu Li and the others all praised as they retrieved the severed hands and the weapons held in these hands, “Heh, a dozen of peak Imperial Emperors’ palm and Heavens, the Imperial Star is really rich!”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Of course it’s rich. Fu Li, you’re also an Imperial Emperor now so you won’t be able to use these hands, might as well hand it over to the generals of Xian Tian Royal Guards to increase their strength.”

With that said, Fu Li presented the hands and Heavens to Zhong Yue, which later on were given to Chi Song, Huo Rong and the rest. While the hands were more or less useless to him, they were all precious materials to the generals, especially the Imperial Emperor level essence contained in the hand, the bones that could be forged into weapons and if they managed to extract one or two Dao totem patterns, it would be even better!

As for the Heavens, they were all kept into the weaponries by Zhong Yue so that they could be strengthened by the army.

Though the monarchs came raiding them, not only did the Tian Pan remain secure, they even obtained plenty of gains, enlightening the whole army and their eyes turned red upon looking at the Imperial Star, showing great desire to raid the star at once.

“I really want to eat the whole Imperial Star….” mumbled and giggled Jiao Teng as she seductively licked her lips.

“Zhong Yue, I like this woman, ever consider making her your woman?” tempted Xin Huo in Zhong Yue’s mind.

Zhong Yue pretended that he heard nothing. Jiao Teng was the insect race’s mother queen and on top of that, she was an Imperial Emperor level mother queen. This little flame was a little desperate, wasn’t he?

Fu Qizhi frowned, “After they are done fighting for the tree, will they come back to steal this item we forged?”

“Probably not.”

Zhong Yue looked into the skies and grinned, “Because Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is also here.”
