Due to the thick black fog that enveloped the summit, the crowd could only vaguely discern an extremely large humanoid silhouette, but they could not see its features clearly.
Some people with Pupil Skills, their eyes flickered with various colors as they focused intently into the distance.
"Damn it, without Pupil Skills, one simply can't see clearly."
"In the future, I definitely need to find a way to cultivate a Pupil Skill."
Those without Pupil Skills all showed faces full of envy.
Standing next to Zhao Letian, Nalan Yun, Hua Qianyang, and Yanmoluo, immediately employed their respective Pupil Skills to examine the Black Demon Mountain.
They seemed to have seen something unbelievable, shock apparent in their eyes.
"Qingxiao Dharma Eye, open!"
With a thought, Zhao Letian immediately activated his Qingxiao Dharma Eye; blue light shimmered in his eyes as his gaze penetrated the clouds and fog, heading straight for the summit of Black Demon Mountain.
"What kind of monster is this?"
With the help of the Qingxiao Dharma Eye, Zhao Letian could vaguely make out the massive figure within the thick black smoke, and his heart jumped with shock.
The gigantic figure stood amid the magma, towering hundreds of feet tall, with horns on its head and a face like a rakshasa. Its body was covered in cold Black Scale Armor, intermingled with streaks of red magma patterns. Its aura was as vast as the sky, making one feel as insignificant as an ant, utterly fragile.
"It's the Dark Monarch!"
"That's right, this is the demonized body formed by the Dark Monarch!"
"To transform into the demonized form is the Dark Monarch's strongest state. What on earth happened on Black Demon Mountain that forced the Dark Monarch to summon his demonized body?"
Some of the people with Pupil Skills similarly saw the sight amidst the roiling black smoke and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"The Dark Monarch? Demonized body?"
Zhao Letian was secretly startled.
It turned out that the colossal figure was none other than the sole overlord of the Dark Demon Domain, the supreme and unparalleled Dark Monarch – no wonder it emitted such a terrifying aura.
Just at this moment, the Dark Monarch suddenly bellowed in anger. The powerful voice wave swept out like a storm, dispersing the dense black smoke around it and extending a giant hand at astonishing speed toward a spot in the sky.
"That's... the Floating Cloud Monarch!"
Seizing this opportunity, Zhao Letian finally saw clearly. The giant palm of the Dark Monarch aimed its attack at the emissary from the Sky Dome Dynasty, the Floating Cloud Monarch.
And what's more, there were two other Monarch Level Experts with auras as profound as an abyss surrounding the Dark Monarch, joining forces with the Floating Cloud Monarch to ambush and attack the Dark Monarch.
Just as the Dark Monarch's giant hand was about to hit the Floating Cloud Monarch, one saw the latter, undisturbed by the danger, reach towards the sky with a summoning gesture. Suddenly, the endless black clouds covering the sky condensed into an exceptionally massive tornado, mixed with thunder and lightning, that engulfed the Dark Monarch and the other two Monarch Level Experts all at once.
"What's happening? My Pupil Skill has actually failed."
"I can't see clearly either."
"Damn it, what exactly is going on inside that black cloud storm?"
The crowd was suddenly alarmed to find that their Pupil Skills were no longer capable of penetrating the black cloud storm. They could only see the flashes of Martial Techniques colliding within the storm, so bright they were blinding, along with the sounds of explosions that seemed to shake heaven and earth.
Clearly, within that black cloud storm, the Floating Cloud Monarch and the other three Monarch Level Experts were locked in intense battle with the Dark Monarch.
Zhao Letian's Qingxiao Dharma Eye had just been cultivated and was similarly unable to penetrate the black cloud storm summoned by the Floating Cloud Monarch. He could only wait patiently.
In theory, the battles of Monarch Level Experts had nothing to do with them, mere True Martial Realm ants.
But the Floating Cloud Monarch was the envoy who led them to the Sky Dome Dynasty.
Should the Floating Cloud Monarch and his two companions win this battle, all would be well.
But should they lose, how could the Dark Monarch let them off easily?
Nalan Yun and his companions had also thought of this and all furrowed their brows. Uploaded by the *) team.
They did not know why the Floating Cloud Monarch would fight the Dark Monarch; they could only secretly pray for the Floating Cloud Monarch's triumphant return. Otherwise, those talents from various countries who had followed him here would face disaster.
At the peak of Black Demon Mountain, the fierce roar within the black storm lasted for a full quarter of an hour before it gradually began to dissipate.
However, the look of anticipation in everyone's eyes grew even stronger.
Because it was clear that the battle was coming to an end, and victory or defeat would soon be revealed.
Just at that moment, an earth-shattering explosion echoed from within the black storm, and a blinding wave of energy, like a tsunami, swept forth, dispersing the surrounding black clouds. It even shattered the dense black clouds high above, causing disarray and allowing beams of sunlight to penetrate through the torn gaps and shine down.
Moments later, the smoke cleared, and the aftermath settled.
People sharply focused their gaze, only to see that the entirety of Black Demon Mountain had been blown in half. The giant demonic shadow had long since disappeared, and countless boulders, along with searing magma, poured down from the sky like torrential rain.
"No need to panic, the array defenses of the Four Directions Pavilion can withstand these boulders and magma."
There was a tumult among the crowd.
"Everyone, meet at the entrance!"
Just then, the voice of the Floating Cloud Monarch resounded in the minds of Zhao Letian and the talents from various nations.
Feeling relieved, Zhao Letian and Nalan Yun exchanged glances, nodding unanimously, and then leapt out directly from the window.
The demonic body of the Dark Monarch had vanished without a trace, while the Floating Cloud Monarch was still alive. The outcome of this battle was self-evident, and they no longer had anything to worry about.
Moments later, Zhao Letian and the talents from the various nations gathered at the entrance of the Four Directions Pavilion.
At this time, the Floating Cloud Monarch had already taken out a purple battleship, stood upon it with hands clasped behind his back, and swept his gaze over Zhao Letian and the others, seemingly checking the number of people.
"The Floating Cloud Monarch is injured!"
Zhao Letian discreetly glanced at the Floating Cloud Monarch, noting that although he had put on a new white robe, his complexion was extremely pale and his energy was unstable, clearly showing signs of heavy injuries.
However, despite being injured, the Floating Cloud Monarch seemed to be in good spirits, maintaining a kindly smile on his face.
"Why are three people missing?"
After waiting for a moment and still not seeing Wanyan Zheng and the others, the Floating Cloud Monarch's brows slightly furrowed, and he asked in a concerned tone.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned toward Zhao Letian.
The Floating Cloud Monarch also looked at Zhao Letian.
Zhao Letian stated plainly, confident that with such an answer, the Floating Cloud Monarch would naturally understand everything.
"Forget it, come aboard."
The Floating Cloud Monarch briefly paused, then brushed it off unconcerned.
