Chapter 2223 The Return of the Deathless Monarch

“Is this the City of Collapsed Space you mentioned earlier?”

Looking at the decrepit city before her, Luo Qiqi could not help but look at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.

This city was completely in ruins, and there was not the slightest hint of life to be seen at all. It was hard for one to believe that such a place had been the prosperous Spirit Origin Royal City.

Initially, Luo Qiqi had intended to meet Luo Xuanqing and the others, but in the end, she had chosen to hold herself back.

She felt that it would be more appropriate for them to meet in the Firmament instead.

Even if they had met, it would only be a short reunion. It might even cause them to lose their fighting will to advance further.

So, after much hesitation, she had decided to leave without meeting them, just like Zhang Xuan. She believed that the day of their reunion was not too far away.

Instead, she headed down to the Master Teacher Continent and reunited with her family members first before heading back to the Azure.

Due to the time difference between both worlds, even as she spent more than half a day with her family members, it was only slightly more than an hour in the Azure.

However, more than a hundred years had passed on the Master Teacher Continent since their departure, and many things had already changed. Many people and things she remembered had become things of history.

The only thing that had remained unchanged was the reverence that the people had for Zhang Xuan.

In the present era of the Master Teacher Continent, Zhang Xuan’s influence and standing exceeded that of even Kong shi. The legend of how he was able to rise from a humble teacher in the Tianxuan Kingdom to the strongest expert of the Master Teacher Continent within two short years had been passed down from generation to generation.

Countless books and records had been created about him in order to ensure that his deeds would never be forgotten.

That being said, what most people remembered him for was still his impressive love life.

As someone who could even take down the Spirit God of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, he had become the idol of many young men of the Master Teacher Continent. It had almost become a ritual where young men would offer incense to him before confessing to the lady whom they fancied…

When Luo Qiqi heard of all of that, she was rendered speechless for a whole five minutes.

As someone who had been close with Zhang Xuan back in those days, she was extremely familiar with his personality.

Love life? Did such a thing even exist in that blockheaded idiot’s dictionary? He is someone who replied to my confession with ‘I like you too with everyone else’! With EQ of his level, how could he possibly have a love life?

Over the past hundred years, the Zhang Clan had grown more and more prosperous, such that it had become a first-class power that possessed influencing surpassing that of the Master Teacher Pavilion.

The Luo Clan and the Jiang Clan had developed considerably as well, but they could not come close to comparing to the Zhang Clan.

Well, all of that did not matter much to the current Luo Qiqi. She was extremely glad to find that her father was still alive, and she helped him make a breakthrough in his cultivation before bringing him to the Azure. After that, she regrouped with Zhang Xuan.

“Well, this is it.” Zhang Xuan nodded. He flicked the gourd in front of him and said, “Come out and take a look around. Your grave and missing power should be somewhere around here.”

Previously, he had found a bizarre black skeleton within the City of Collapsed Space, obtained the Aura of Divinity from the other party’s hands, and successfully made a breakthrough to godhood. Due to that, he had managed to defeat Kong shi’s clone.

But when he returned there once more, the skeleton had already disappeared and was nowhere to be found.

While he was unable to find the black skeleton, Little Chick, as the Deathless Monarch, might just have a way to sense him.

“Have you ever seen anyone looking for their own grave?” The gourd shook its bottom lazily.

“Fine fine, I’ll find it then,” Zhang Xuan said in exasperation.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out the Seal of Supreme Monarch.

The black skeleton might have had the ability to hide from him previously, but if he summoned it through the seal, the other party should have nowhere to hide.

Weng!

As soon as the Seal of Supreme Monarch appeared, a series of spatial ripples immediately appeared around them. The next moment, they were already standing before a grand hall.

Standing at the entrance of the hall was a skeleton, who, upon seeing the item floating in front of Zhang Xuan, hurriedly fell to its knees.

“The space in here is much more stable than out there. The heavens should be unable to perceive this area, so you can come out now,” Zhang Xuan said as he patted the gourd.

The previous time that he was there, he could not help but notice that this area was isolated from the rest of the world. Even after becoming a God, he was still unable to find this place.

It was for this reason that he was confident that Little Chick would not come under the tribulation of the heavens even if it showed itself there.

Kacha!

Upon hearing those words, Little Chick finally broke free from the gourd, allowing its God King realm prowess to flow freely from it.

“Your Sovereignty, you are finally awake…” the black skeleton cried in delight.

Overwhelmed with agitation, the black skeleton also revealed his strength. It was at this moment that Zhang Xuan realized that the other party was actually a God King just like him!

It was no wonder he had been unable to sense the depth of the other party’s cultivation the previous time he was there.

There had really been on two completely different levels back then.

“I wish to recover my strength,” Little Chick said.

It had not recovered its memories yet, so it was unable to tell whom the black skeleton before it was.

“I have already prepared everything. Your Sovereignty, as long as you step into the hall, you’ll be able to absorb the power you have lost and return to your peak!” the black skeleton replied in agitation.

“Good!” Little Chick nodded before waddling over to the hall in big strides.

The doors opened itself before Little Chick, and unimaginable power pulsated with the depths of the hall. It felt like an entire world of energy was harnessed inside there.

“Little Chick…” Zhang Xuan suddenly cried out just as it was about to enter the hall.

Understanding Zhang Xuan’s concerns, Little Chick turned around and said, “I know what you are worried about, but there’s no need. I am myself and no one else.”

Zhang Xuan nodded quietly after hearing those words.

Little Chick was a new will that was born after the resurrection of the Deathless Monarch. He was afraid that it would turn into someone else once it regained its strength and memories, spelling the death of the adorable Little Chick that he knew.

The words that Little Chick said reassured him that it would not turn into someone else as a result of this.

It was no longer the Deathless Monarch of old. It was someone else with a new will.

Little Chick entered the hall, and the doors closed once again.

Zhang Xuan and Luo Qiqi waited outside, and just like that, three months passed.

“Little Chick, continue doing your best. We need to return to the Firmament now. If you can make it in time, you know where to find us…”

Almost five days had passed in the Firmament, and if they did not head back, they would not be able to make it in time before Kong shi and Luo Ruoxin’s duel.

Even though it was nigh impossible for them to stop the duel without the assistance of the Deathless Monarch, Zhang Xuan could not allow himself to continue waiting there without doing anything.

“Let’s go!” Zhang Xuan beckoned for Luo Qiqi before turning around to leave.

Boom!

At this moment, a crisp buzz echoed in the air, and the hall began to shake intensely.

Cracks began appearing all over the grand buildings

Huala!

The walls began to collapse, causing dust to fill the area. Amid the veil of dust, a massive phoenix could be seen rising from the rubble.

The mere power it emanated was enough to keep others at a distance away from it.

“This is the Deathless Monarch?” Zhang Xuan murmured with widened eyes.

The strength of the phoenix before his eyes far exceeded his imagination. It was much stronger than the Conferred God King and the will of Fairy Linglong that he had encountered before.

“So, this was the strength of the God Monarch?”

It was no wonder no Conferred God Kings dared oppose a God Monarch. They were truly beings of vastly different levels.

“The resurrected Little Chick might be even stronger than the previous Deathless Monarch.”

Every single time Little Chick resurrected, it would get stronger than before. Perhaps it would be the same this time.

If that was the case, they might just be able to stop the duel between those two!
