Chapter 1022 - 105: King’s Heavenly Fate, Encountering Demons in the Hollow!

Chapter 1022: Chapter 105: King’s Heavenly Fate, Encountering Demons in the Hollow!

A hoarse voice spread through the dimly lit cave, sending shivers down one’s spine, tinged with resentment and a hint of gratification, as if a primordial emotion that had been suppressed for eons had found an outlet.

"Elder Yu, even though our Supreme Wind Clan is not a King’s Clan, we are still a top legendary force. Even ten thousand years ago, there was a Near Monarch Expert presiding over our clan!"

"What exactly happened ten thousand years ago that led to our defeat and retreat to the Imperial Beast Clan’s Small World? And although that seal is not weak, it was not personally laid by a monarch. Even our family head can’t break it. Now, ten thousand years have passed, and we are still required to sneak into the Human Realm to break the seal from this side!"

The Elder of the Imperial Beast Clan, named Feng Lan, his eyes emitting a faint glow, was filled with confusion. Ten thousand years ago, the Imperial Beast Clan Warriors rampaged across the Border Wasteland Human World with an overwhelming momentum, plunging the Human Tribe into decline.

Yet, such a zenith of power of the Imperial Beast Clan ended up in a shocking defeat, and only a fraction of the remnants fled in disarray back to the Imperial Beast Clan’s Small World!

"According to the clan records, ten thousand years ago, our Ji Feng Clan suffered heavy losses due to a conspiracy by the Border Wasteland Human Tribe on the Border Wasteland Human World, and we had no choice but to retreat to the Imperial Beast Clan Small World."

The old man known as Elder Yu had a flash of remembrance in his eyes. Ten thousand years ago, he was just a child and did not follow the clan’s Warriors in their conquest of the Human Realm, which also spared him from perishing on the Human World’s Earth.

"As for the specific reasons, this elder is unaware. The events of ten thousand years ago were sealed by the family head, and even I am not qualified to investigate!"

"What!"

The words of Elder Yu immediately shocked the two listeners, revealing their astonishment that even Elder Yu did not possess the qualifications to probe into the clan’s hidden past!

The current head of the Ji Feng Clan, named Yuji Kei, was also the family head ten thousand years ago and led the Ji Feng Clan’s invasion of the Human World’s Earth.

At that time, after the retreat from the Human Realm, Yuji Kei was also severely wounded. However, ten thousand years have passed, and now Yuji Kei has ascended to the Half-King Peak Realm, just one step away from entering the Supreme Realm!

The Ji Feng Clan elders who survived the bloody battles in the Human Realm those years ago are few now, and the events of ten thousand years ago, sealed by Yuji Kei, have become a secret of history!

What shocked the two Imperial Beast Clan Elders was that Elder Yu did not even have the authority to investigate the clan’s secrets. Within the Ji Feng Clan, even among the Supreme Elders, there was a distinction in status. Only the direct bloodline members with the best talent among the Warriors were granted the ’Yu’ prefix!

The Yu-prefixed Elders already held the highest position among the Ji Feng Clan elders, second only to the family head. If the family head was absent, the Yu-prefixed Elders had the authority to act on behalf of the family head. Currently, in the entire Ji Feng Clan, there were only two Supreme Elders with the Yu prefix.

The Elder Yu present was named Yu Feng, and this mission descending into the Human Realm was critical for the tribe’s future plans, hence a Yu-prefixed Supreme Elder personally presided over it!

"However, this elder once heard from the clan head that during the war ten thousand years ago, the Border Wasteland Human Tribe’s Purple Snake Tribe had a great secret that seemed to be related to the King’s command. It was precisely because this King’s command was held by the Human Tribe that our Imperial Beast Clan ended up retreating."

The words of Elder Yu instantly caused the atmosphere within the cave to stagnate, and the eyes of everyone there flashed with a fervent light.

The King’s command!

Even the breathing of several figures in the cave grew heavy with anticipation, just at the mention of this word—it appeared to carry a supreme magic with it!

"Is what the Elder said true?" Finally, a person named Feng Yi couldn’t control himself and spoke with a turbulent throat.

What is the King’s command!

Legend has it that after a monarch’s passing, if they so desired, there was an exceedingly small chance that a King’s Seal, the essence of the monarch’s life’s enlightenment, could be left behind. If later generations acquired it, they had a high probability of ascending to the status of monarch.

Later, it was rumored that this remnant was the monarch’s life pattern, as monarchs underwent innumerable transformations and ascended step by step from the mundane to the Supreme Realm, attaining the Supreme Dao Fruit. Even in demise, their lives remained detached from the vast populace.

However, the odds of leaving behind a monarch’s life pattern after their fall were extremely low, to the point of being serendipitous rather than sought after.

Because even those monarchs who wished to leave behind a life pattern upon their demise couldn’t guarantee they would successfully extricate their King’s Seal from their remains!

Quickly, a realization dawned in the eyes of the Elders. No wonder the Yuji Family head had sealed the news, even emphatically declining to cooperate with the other Imperial Beast Clan Aristocratic families this time.

The Yuji Family was affiliated with the Azure King, and under the Azure King, there were more families than just the Ji Feng Clan. There were two others on equal footing with the Ji Feng Clan.

This time, the Ji Feng Clan, in front of the Azure King, used the excuse of avenging the immense shame from ten thousand years ago to justify their mission, subtly rejecting participation from the other major families and putting on a show of determination to avenge the ancient grudge, all for the sake of the monarch’s Heavenly Fate!

...

Deep in the Void.

A green streak of light approached from afar, lasting for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. The green light stopped deep within the Void, and as the light dissipated, Xiao Chen’s figure emerged.

Boom!

The next moment, golden divine light blossomed from his body, and in an instant, a tremendous force intertwined, his iron fist, like polished gold and jade, slammed toward what was in front of him!

Clang!

The void that should have collapsed sparked with flying Mars, emitting a sound like the clashing of gold and iron. His punch, unexpectedly, did not pierce through the nothingness!

This was a blow from a Near Monarch Expert, which managed only to cause sparks to burst from the Void Barrier. Each spark, as large as stars, burned fiercely, radiating divine brilliance within the dark Void world!

Even Xiao Chen’s body violently shook for a moment, and suddenly his eyes revealed a trace of horror. His gaze swept across the surrounding void, and his complexion turned ugly!

Someone had sealed this piece of the void!

Once he steadied himself from the recoil, Xiao Chen’s gaze turned frosty. His combat strength fully unleashed; even a Half-King Peak Realm expert would be no match for him, yet he struggled to tear through the Void Barrier.

Clearly, a formidable being had taken action, undoubtedly it had to be a Supreme Monarch!

Moreover, when he was expelled by the Desolate God Divine Mansion, he had sensed something was amiss. The Mo Ye Spirit he had subdued had vanished—not merely disappeared, but completely annihilated.

Certainly, someone had acted to eradicate it. To so cleanly erase a fog group spanning thousands of miles, nobody other than a monarch could possess such means!

Previously, within the Desolate God Divine Mansion, he had transformed his Combat Qi into a vast ocean, advancing to the Sea of Qi Transformation on the King’s Road in a single move.

And by harnessing the divine powers of that mysterious space, he had replenished the Circulating Heaven Qi Sea and completely restored his Physique for War. Perhaps seeing that he had completed his Cultivation, the Desolate God Divine Mansion had expelled him.

Within the Desolate God Divine Mansion, he had indeed acquired a tremendous fate, and he understood the path he would take in the future, making the journey worthwhile. This opportunity could even be said to have a decisive impact on his future Cultivation!

However, instead of being triumphant at this moment, he found himself trapped by an unknown enemy in this part of the Void. Fortunately, while his departure from the Void world was hindered, he could still communicate with his tribe through the Mountain River Seal!

"Master, we must break through this spatial seal quickly; otherwise, by the time the alien race that set it up arrives, we won’t be able to leave!"

In Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea, the voice of Luli manifested. As the eternal spirit of the Mountain River Seal, her perception of the surrounding depths of the Void was even more profound than Xiao Chen’s!

"Alright!"

Xiao Chen nodded without hesitation, sensing the eerie Qi around him.

The alien race had actually set a seal in this vast Void, and just outside the Desolate God Divine Mansion. If he said it was a coincidence, he wouldn’t believe it even if he were beaten to death. The only explanation was that the aliens had discovered the secret of this place, or they knew of his whereabouts!

Hum!

Instantly, the Mountain River Seal materialized. Now that Xiao Chen’s strength had risen once again, his control over the Mountain River Seal naturally deepened a great deal!

"The Peng King was right, this space does have traces of humans!"

As Xiao Chen was about to take action, a voice as sonorous as a great bell resonated from the vast depths of the Void.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Following that, the sound of footsteps came from the far reaches of the Void, thunderous with each step echoing in Xiao Chen’s heart.

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards the two points of light in the depths of the Void.

"It seems we’ve found a talented young human. Since he’s appeared here, let’s capture him and search his soul. Then we’ll know if he’s connected to that secret human place!"

In Xiao Chen’s eyes, two figures came into view, both clad in golden robes, with sturdy builds and exuding a rich Demonic Qi.

One had golden horns on his head, with a faint aura of dragon’s might leaking out inadvertently. The other had a sharp, eagle-like countenance, and his Qi was as deep as an abyss. His eyes, looking at Xiao Chen, carried an untamed arrogance, with a trace of utter indifference!

Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s eyes tightened slightly, confirming the suspicions in his heart. The matters of the Desolate God Divine Mansion had obviously come to the knowledge of the aliens; these two had come for him, although they were not sure yet!

In reality, the strength that Xiao Chen presently displayed was barely that of a Near Monarch Expert, which is why the two Demonic beings before him didn’t take him seriously.

The two Demonic beings opposite Xiao Chen were also detected by him. The one with golden horns belonged to the Golden Serpent clan of the Demonic race, and the other to the Peng clan. Both were young, under a thousand years old.

Obviously, both were geniuses of their respective clans. Being under a thousand with the strength of a Near Monarch Expert, and not just ordinary ones, the force emanating from the Golden Serpent was even enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the peak Half-King!
