Chapter 1698: Chapter 1718 What Kind of Person Can Be Called an Immortal Monarch?_1

Lin Chen was deeply shocked.

Having grown up in the human world, he had heard a lot about "Heaven".

The course of nature was determined; it neither favored the virtuous King Yao nor was it against the wicked tyrant Jie.

Man is the doer, Heaven the observer.

Natural law goes in cycles; karma never fails.

And so on.

When people were helpless, they often turned to "Heaven" hoping that Heaven would hear their pleas and set things right in the world. However, this plea was ultimately just a desperate yearning in the mind. Could there really be any response?

The Heavenly Dao was ultimately a vague entity, elusive, and could even be described as no more than an imagination.

But at this moment, right in front of him, a seemingly thin bolt of thunder pierced through the Mountain Protection Array that could ward off a Peak Celestial Immortal and instantly killed a late-stage Celestial Immortal!

Feng Zhiyin knew that he wouldn’t survive, hence he spoke at a rapid pace. However, he vanished even before he could finish his sentence.

He was extinguished by a bolt of lightning.

His body and soul were wiped out, evaporating from the human world!

This was Lin Chen’s first real perception of the existence of the Heavenly Dao!

The might of the Heavenly Dao was truly terrifying!

This was all just because Feng Zhiyin broke the Oath of Promise and said words that were not to be spoken.

The Soul Demon Oath usually only demonstrates its power when one attempts a breakthrough or during Thunder Tribulation or Closed Door Cultivation. But this Oath of Promise, it came and went as it wished, destroying without hesitation!

It was not just Lin Chen who was shocked. The other members of the Immortal Palace were also deeply astounded. Many gasped in horror, feeling a chill run down their spines!

Cao Hechuan murmured, "I’ve heard about the Oath of Promise before. But this is my first time witnessing the consequences of breaking it..."

Lin Chen regained his senses from the shock. "It’s too powerful. Not just Celestial Immortals, I’m afraid even those above the Da Luo may not be able to withstand this, right?"

With a bitter smile, Cao Hechuan explained, "Below Immortals, they are peeking into non-human powers. For Immortals, they are touching the edges of the Dao, exploring the main road. Above the Da Luo, they control the power of Dao, control the rule, manipulate the rule, and become the rule... "

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen asked, "The fact that Feng Zhiyin was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao Thunderbolt means that he was telling the truth. Four Seas Immortal Monarch... Senior, do you know this person?"

Cao Hechuan shook his head, "I no longer concern myself with worldly affairs and hence, am not familiar with this person."

"I know."

A Golden Immortal from the Immortal Palace stepped forward and explained, "The Four Seas Immortal Monarch is a loose cultivator with an unknown background. Rumor has it that he comes from a high-ranked immortal realm, possesses an innate Water Spirit Body and once tamed a True Dragon as his mount. He is quite famous in a large area in the southern part of the Heavenly Mystery Continent."

"He has challenged many Peak Celestial Immortals and was never defeated. Combined with his powerful exquisite art ’Four Seas Rising Peace’, he was finally respectfully regarded as the Four Seas Immortal Monarch."

"The Four Seas Immortal Monarch is elusive. No one knows where his Cave Mansion is. His actions are righteous as much as they are evil, thus, his reputation is neither good nor bad. It’s surprising that he pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Dao Alliance and even became the White-clothed Blood Envoy..."

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord, who is the most powerful figure he had encountered up close.

Is this Four Seas Immortal Monarch as powerful as the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord?

Lin Chen suddenly thought of a question, "Senior, why are some air Peak Celestial Immortals referred to as Immortal Monarchs, and some not, despite being at the same level?"

Cao Hechuan explained, "Immortal Monarch is usually a title reserved for those whose power and realm are at the Peak Celestial Immortal level but whose combat power far exceeds that of a normal Peak Celestial Immortal. They even have the power to crush others."

"These people have immense talents. They possess a much higher combat power at the same level compared to others, so much so that they’re almost not on the same material level. Out of respect for them, they are addressed as ’Immortal Monarchs’

"In simple terms, if a certain Peak Celestial Immortal can repeatedly defeat other well-known Peak Celestial Immortals and maintain an undefeated record, others will add the title of ’Immortal Monarch’ to his name as a show of respect."

"As for the Domain Lord, he is one such person. The name ’Madman’ is well-known to all. However, after he unified the Immortal Domain, fewer people used this name and mostly prefer to address him respectfully as the Domain Lord."

Lin Chen understood. It was similar to the Half-Immortal Body in the Barren Wilderness Realm.

Back then, Ji Ruxue, Yan Kuangtu and others consumed the Immortal Yuan Dan. Although their realms were still at the Dongxu Peak, their combat power was far higher than the Dongxu Peak, even beyond the Tribulation Crossing Period, but still far lower than the Human Immortal.

Expectation filled Lin Chen’s eyes as he looked at Cao Hechuan. "Senior, what about you?"

Cao Hechuan sighed, "Although I am powerful and have defeated many Peak Celestial Immortals, I have also been defeated twice. Therefore, the title ’Immortal Monarch’ does not apply to me."

"Moreover, back then we were all following the Domain Lord, who was the ’Madman’ Immortal Monarch. It wouldn’t have been proper for me to also have an Immortal Monarch title, so I gave it up. I suppose most people’s impression of me is still retained as the First Guardian Commander of the Immortal Palace."

Lin Chen nodded in understanding, "Now that we know the identity of the White-clothed Blood Envoy, we should take immediate action to hunt him down, so as to prevent the news from being leaked and alerting him. The biggest problem now is, when we face him, will we be able to withstand
