Chapter 723: Chapter 456 Lone Battle Against a Crowd of Heroes, The Invincible Asura Daoist_2
But it was only a fleeting moment, one that even they themselves did not take notice of.
After all, this was a Yang God True Monarch, and a Demon True Monarch at that—how could they have ever encountered one?
And as soon as Chen Yuan made his appearance, those interested in him weren’t limited to the people of the Imperial City; the old master of Qingyun Temple showed a puzzled expression, furrowing his brows as he tried to recall the man’s identity.
A Yang God True Monarch he had never seen before.
He also regarded the Taoist Divine Palace with a newfound sense of gravity, considering there resided a peerless genius with a sword, and a person like Chen Yuan, someone with immense Qi Fortune—it was quite terrifying indeed. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel⚑fire.net
The reason he could surmise a connection between Chen Yuan and the Taoist Divine Palace was actually due to his ongoing attention to the grand ancestral ceremony. Besides monitoring others, he paid close attention to Chen Yuan as well.
He realized something was amiss with Chen Yuan since the latter participated in the ceremony; though well-concealed, it didn’t escape his notice, and true enough, in the midst of the disturbance these people caused…
Chen Yuan took advantage of the chaos to slip away from the Imperial City in silence…
As for the claim that there were no ties between them, the old master would never believe it.
Outside the city, within the void.
Shen Wu True Monarch Li Kuangxiu, at the moment ‘Chen Yuan’ appeared, instantly turned his gaze towards Dongfang Sheng and asked:
“Did you anticipate his appearance in advance?”
Dongfang Sheng smiled mysteriously, offering no response.
Because he had not foreseen it, in fact, like Song Zhilun and Chi Lian Demon Venerable, he was not particularly surprised or skeptical. After all, who would dare to cause a ruckus in the Imperial City without a True Monarch taking action?
Previously, when the Taoist Divine Palace showed signs of defeat, he thought he had been mistaken and ordered Song Zhilun and the others to leave. Now, upon closer look… he had not been mistaken after all.
It was only somewhat delayed.
However, the identity of this mysterious True Monarch also aroused his suspicion.
True Monarchs were already few and far between in the world, with even fewer among the Demon Dao. This person… was a stranger, which he found exceedingly odd.
Of course, it wasn’t out of the question that a familiar figure had changed their appearance and aura.
“Showing just a corner, yet hiding the rest—are you brave enough to reveal your true self?”
‘Chen Yuan’ let out a disdainful laugh:
Jingtai snorted coldly, his eyes containing a hint of killing intent. If an Earth Immortal in the Refining Void and Entering Dao Realm were to say he wasn’t worthy, he would have endured it, knowing that Earth Immortals are no longer human.
They truly possess the means of an Immortal, and their lifespan could even be considered eternal.
He, an Emperor at the level of a Dan Realm Master, really couldn’t say anything. But the mere True Monarch before him was simply courting death.
True Monarchs are indeed powerful, revered as Supreme, and in today’s world, they can be considered the pinnacle of Martial Artists. However, to insult him is far from enough—after all, just plainly within the court, there are already four grand True Monarchs.
Other True Masters and Grandmasters are even more numerous, and annihilating an Immortal Sect would not be out of the question.
How much less then, for a single True Monarch?
Watching the other’s arrogant demeanor, Jingtai sincerely felt a surge of killing intent and immediately said coldly:
“Tear this traitor to a thousand pieces!”
‘Chen Yuan’ tilted his neck slightly, a hint of Bloodthirst flashing in the eyes beneath his mask. He chuckled lightly:
To Jingtai’s killing intent, ‘Chen Yuan’ was naturally filled with fervor, especially after seeing Jiang He gravely wounded and on the brink of death, as well as the other Daoists severely injured, his own urge to kill grew incredibly strong.
For Chen Yuan, Jiang He was the Protector in the early stages of his Martial Arts journey; without him, he wouldn’t have been able to reach this point. Others, such as Su Ziyue, Li Suqing, Chu Changfeng, and Yang Huatian, also showed him great kindness.
They had saved his life!
Seeing these people grievously injured, naturally, he sought to repay tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
The killing intent in his heart, coupled with his incredibly terrifying physique, made him supremely confident at this moment.
Moreover, when they had conspired to disrupt the court’s ancestral ceremony, Chu Changfeng once mentioned a Yang Transformation True Master who now was nowhere to be seen.
Presumably, he was already dead.
These grievances had to be repaid!
For the Demon Monk Moluo, now in a ‘darkened’ state, apart from naturally feeling a trace of Bloodthirst within, he felt that the Daoists of the Taoist Divine Palace, whom he watched grow and held high expectations for, were injured by the court for his sake, and their blood must be repaid with that of the court.
Mind and intent as one!
Moluo said to Chen Yuan:
“Give me control of the body, and you just watch carefully from the side.”
Chen Yuan agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Although he was eager to try it himself, he understood that this was not the time for jokes—they had to be cautious, very cautious; otherwise, should any mishap occur,
not only would he fall here, but the Taoist Divine Palace would also be utterly destroyed.
Everything now depended on Moluo!
After Moluo took control of the body, the Primordial Energy in the void instantly backflowed, forming a terrifying Primordial Energy Vortex surging towards him.
His physical condition became even more formidable.
The Bodhisattva, Royal Family True Monarchs, and the other dozen or so Royal Family True Masters, upon receiving Jingtai’s command, immediately abandoned those severely wounded Taoist Divine Palace Daoists, ready to besiege ‘Chen Yuan’!
To teach him that there are skies beyond skies, people beyond people!
“Demon Dao wretch, come forth and meet your death!”
The Royal Family True Monarch bellowed, his aura bursting forth in an instant.
The twelve True Masters at that moment unified their aura, focusing on Chen Yuan. The Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s four Divine Envoys formed a battle formation, as did the four great generals of the military.
