Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Falling Out Over a Single Comment (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

"I am a man of the wilderness," he said with a good laugh, "Although the title of True Monarch is fine, I still want to ask, are there any other rewards?"

Zhong Shenxiu suddenly asked with a smile.

True Monarch Zhang’s expression immediately turned serious, making the surrounding atmosphere feel like the calm before a storm.

Fourth Prince and Lord Qingyuan exchanged glances again and again, after all, rewards and punishments were at the discretion of the Emperor, and to refuse a reward was to commit a crime!

It was defiance of imperial law!

In the eyes of those in power, that’s considered an unstable element, one that should be eliminated!

Fortunately, True Monarch Zhang did not react with thunderous rage, but instead asked with an inscrutable tone, "Then what else do you seek?"

"My cultivation technique is crude, and after reaching the Primordial Spirit, I see no further path. I have heard that your ’Taiyi Dragon Tiger Control True Seal Divine Method’ is a secret record for becoming an Immortal, and I wish to have a look..."

Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes filled with sincerity. "If my wish is granted, I am willing to become an elder of the Dragon Tiger Sect and a True Monarch of Yan Han!"

Since the opportunity presented itself, he wouldn’t ask for the entire ’Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture’; he coveted the supreme scripture of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect instead.

If he really was given that, then becoming a True Monarch was not out of the question.

As for Su Daoshi’s revenge?

Heh, he had already taken good care of his family, which was meaningful enough.

Compared to that, his own advancement was obviously more important.

"How daring!"

True Monarch Zhang huffed coldly. If Zhong Shenxiu had coveted the ’Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture’, perhaps there was still room for discussion.

But how could a sect’s foundation scripture be casually given as a reward?

You must know, even within the Royal Secret Vault of the Second Yan Han Empire, this scripture was absent!

’This person defies imperial law and is insatiably greedy... Even if recruited, he would be a thorn in the side.’

True Monarch Zhang thought to himself and exclaimed, "Zhong Shenxiu, do not make a grave mistake! You should know that under the entire heavens, every land belongs to the Emperor, and when the Son of Heaven bestows a gift, how can it be rejected?"

How terrifying is the wrath of a True Monarch?

Bai Yunxian seemed to hear a dragon roar and a tiger howl in her ears, and immediately, she found that her Primordial Pill’s status was completely suppressed.

This made her turn pale, sweat profusely, and nearly collapse to the ground unable to maintain herself.

But nearby, Fourth Prince and Lord Qingyuan were still able to stand firm.

This was not because their cultivation was deep or they possessed some protective treasure, but simply because True Monarch Zhang was differentiating in his treatment.

’If I am like this, what kind of pressure must Young Master Shen Xiu be under?’

Bai Yunxian suddenly clarified this point and turned her shocked gaze towards Zhong Shenxiu’s spear-straight figure.

’Indeed... in this realm, from Primordial Pill to Primordial Spirit and Dharma Body, all have reinforcement... but there is no such abyssal chasm as between the Primordial Pill and below it.’

Zhong Shenxiu thought with ease.

In this realm, the Primordial Pill and Divine Skills, one has a status while the other does not, killing them is as easy as slaughtering chickens.

In the next few realms, although status increases somewhat, it’s only a matter of strength, not a binary of having or not, and there’s still a chance to fight back with other means, without completely losing the ability to counterattack.

"I have always had a wish... to try the methods of a Dharma Body Expert, please do not hesitate to enlighten me!"

Zhong Shenxiu declared, eager to test himself.

He indeed wanted to gauge the strength of the realm’s Dharma Body Cultivators.

And True Monarch Zhang was a good reference point, even considered a strong one amongst many Dharma Bodies!

Even the Five Lotus Demon Monarch had suffered a loss under his hand.

As he spoke, he leapt up, already above Daoyuan Pavilion, his second Primordial Spirit exerted its power, radiating endless Nine Heavens Secret Prayer Demon Light around him.

Besides, above his head, a Wuji Pearl shone brightly with infinite dazzling light falling from it.

On his left and right, two flags appeared, one gathering the Seven True Fires, the other emitting countless Heavenly Demon Secret Spells.

The most alarming was the yellow gourd in Zhong Shenxiu’s hands.

Those who had witnessed the might of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword the previous night would not underestimate this gourd.

’Well, I’m not seeking death, after all, I can’t die... No, even if I can resurrect, but if the Spiritual Treasure is lost, then it’s gone... Tsk tsk tsk, it’s not like I’m an undead Immortal, I should be able to survive a short battle.’

"It’s essential to hold some cards close to the vest, of course, and to keep my own cultivation technique hidden. This time, I’ll just use my second Primordial Spirit’s powers instead of my own mana."

Though that was the plan, the extravagant method of unleashing four Spiritual Treasures at once, in addition to Zhong Shenxiu’s own mana, was enough to leave any ordinary Primordial Spirit speechless with astonishment.

At least, the faceless Buddha had drowned in Spiritual Treasures.

"What? Has Young Master Shen Xiu gone mad? To actually challenge a Dharma Body powerhouse?" Inside the hall, Bai Yunxian’s eyes widened, exchanging a look with the Fourth Prince, both feeling as though they might be dreaming.

Or had this Primordial Spirit Cultivator gone mad?

"Protected by four treasures, you’re quite the wealthy lad. So these are your trump cards?"

True Monarch Zhang’s voice carried an ancient weariness; after all, he had been cultivating for so many years that Zhong Shenxiu naturally seemed like a junior to him.

At this moment, he floated in gracefully, a ring of purple aura emitting from around him, signifying his prestigious status, making him appear like a Heavenly God descended from the nine heavens.

This was a Divine Light he had condensed during his Primordial Spirit stage, known as—Dragon Tiger Xuanwu Divine Light!

In terms of defense, this Divine Light was only slightly inferior to the Nine Cleansing Heavenly Light, but when amplified by the power of a Dharma Body, its might was simply unfathomable.

Most Primordial Spirits could not breach this barrier of Divine Light!

As True Monarch Zhang casually evaluated the situation, he stepped forward, his hand enveloped in Dragon Tiger Xuanwu Divine Light, reaching for Zhong Shenxiu.

Crackle!

The thousand-feet-tall Nine Heavens Secret Prayer Demon Light was easily shattered upon contact.

"He even cultivates Demon Skills? There are traces of ancient techniques!"

True Monarch Zhang commented nonchalantly, as if a senior assessing a junior’s techniques, effortlessly dismantling Zhong Shenxiu’s demonic light defenses.

But Zhong Shenxiu had never expected the demonic light of his second Primordial Spirit to stop a Dharma Body Expert. With a flick of the Ancient Seven Flames Flag, a crimson glow filled the sky, as the Seven Ancient Spiritual Flames descended in an overpowering deluge.

"This little flag is quite nice; I could take it back for kindling!"

True Monarch Zhang gave a slight smile and blew a breath.

Whoosh!

The Spiritual Flames of the Ancient Seven from another realm were instantly extinguished by more than half.

Even the Ancient Seven Flames Flag itself cried out continuously, as if gripped by an invisible hand, shaking wildly.

The might of a Dharma Body truly shook the heavens and moved spirits!

But just as True Monarch Zhang attempted to seize the Ancient Seven Flames Flag, Zhong Shenxiu’s Heavenly Demon Banner spewed forth countless demonic clouds, which entered the Wuji Pearl above his head.

A beam of pure light fell, seemingly opening up a world to swallow True Monarch Zhang.

Then, Zhong Shenxiu shouted coldly, "Please, my treasure, turn around!"

Swoosh!

An indescribably fierce Sword Qi roared forth, unrivaled in ferocity.

Wielding the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword, even Immortals could be cleaved apart!

The extreme pleasure of the Demon Realm unfolded by the two great Spiritual Treasures could not affect True Monarch Zhang in the slightest.

Waves of void energy shimmer around him, seemingly unable to be swallowed by the Jile Demon Realm.

However, in that moment, he saw the sharp sword light and, for the first time, a look of shock appeared on his face.

A flash of white light.

True Monarch Zhang remained unscathed, yet a strand of hair slowly fell and rapidly expanded in midair, transforming into a ferocious Demon Dragon.

"You... you managed to wound me?"

His tone was somewhat incredulous, as his clothes began to unravel strand by strand, and his muscles twisted to form an indescribable entity.

Before, True Monarch Zhang had been strolling through the battle with a playful mindset.

But now, after being injured by Zhong Shenxiu, this True Monarch was truly getting serious.

A Dharma Body Cultivator going all out would naturally reveal his true Dharma Body!

"Don’t look!"

Bai Yunxian screamed, closing her eyes immediately and also covering Lord Qingyuan’s and the Fourth Prince’s eyes.
