Chapter 1009 - Blood War Monarch Thyaeria's Thoughts

The Great Ruler

Chapter 1009 - Blood War Monarch

The light door, which was emitting an ancient fluctuation, had quietly appeared behind the black stone tablet. There was an endless desolation being emitted from the light that could make the heart of one to feel revere.

Mu Chen and the other three had cast their gazes over.

“This is the passage towards the final level? What’s in the fifth level?” Mu Chen looked at Mo Feng and asked in a soft voice.

When Mo Feng heard Mu Chen’s words, he shook his head. “There isn’t that many that managed to enter the fifth level. It was said that the test on the fifth level is not fixed. The test would change so we can’t be certain what test awaits us.”

Mu Chen had knitted his brows when he heard Mo Feng’s explanation. Not knowing why, the last level of the Body Refining Pagoda had vaguely made him feel a little fear, which had never appear in the past.

Regardless of anything, it wasn’t easy for him to make it this far. So there’s no reason for him to give up now.

Furthermore, after absorbing all the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast’s essence from before, his physical body had been greatly improved and he could feel that he might only need that one small step before his Dragon-Phoenix Sutra was able to reach the second level!

At that time, his physique would completely change! At that time, Mu Chen wouldn’t have any fear, even if he had to face the experts of the various clans.

Within the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm, he would no longer have an enemy.

Just thinking about it, flames surged in Mu Chen’s eyes, before he took in a deep breath. He didn’t waste any time on futile talks and quickly said, “Let’s go!”

When he finished speaking, he was the first to take the step out and strode into the light door.

Behind Mu Chen, Mo Feng quickly followed up. Han Shan had contracted his eyes with a smile, before he cast a glance at Zong Teng, whose face was dark, then he quickly followed up.

Zong Teng was the last to enter, when he looked at the silhouettes of Mu Chen and the rest disappearing into the light door, a chill flashed in his eyes. It looked like he definitely had to obtain the greatest opportunity in the fifth level.

At that time, his strength would surge and the first to be killed there would be Mu Chen!

“I’ll see who will be able to laugh in the end!” Zong Teng coldly said, before he strode out and stepped into the halo of light that was linked to the next level.

When the four of them stepped into the door, everyone outside the Body Refining Pagoda had a fire in their eyes before they shifted their gaze upwards, looking at the fifth level.

They all wished to know what test awaited them on the fifth level… From some pieces of information that they had obtained, those that could pass through the test of the fifth level in the past years were only few in numbers.

Although the four of them were pretty good, they would still probably return with regret.

Mo Ling balled her hands into fists and asked Nine Nether in a soft voice, “Big Sister Nine Nether, will they be able to pass through the test of the fifth level?”

Nine Nether pondered, before her expression turned grave soon after, “It’s hard to tell. It’s said that the test in the fifth level is not fixed. Sometimes, even a Saint Artifact would attack them… Naturally, those weren’t genuine Saint Artifacts, but illusions. Even so, that might isn’t something someone at our level could withstand.”

Mo Ling inwardly smacked her lips. Even Saint Artifacts would launch attacks? The attacks could probably even kill a Seventh Grade Sovereign in an instant, right?

Just how difficult was the fifth level of the Body Refining Pagoda?

All sorts of whispers resounded around the Body Refining Pagoda with everyone having their gazes fixed on the fifth level. Not long after, a light gathered as expected and gradually formed into a screen.

Everyone had directed their eyes over without blinking.

… 

After Mu Chen stepped into the light halo, the light that covered his eyes only lasted for an instant before it melted away like a tidal wave. Thereafter, a dense stench of blood blew over.

The sudden stench of blood had caused Mu Chen’s heart to shiver. A golden light was instantly unleashed from his body and the golden feathered sword, which he had previously obtained from Zong Teng, had also appeared in his hand.

After bringing out his defences, Mu Chen then raised his eyes and his expression couldn’t help changing.

So, it turned out that the location that he was in was an ancient battlefield. The ancient battlefield was littered with corpses and the stench of blood had spread out. A brutal aura enveloped this region, which made even Mu Chen’s heart shiver.

Not far away from Mu Chen, the three others had appeared as well. When they saw the scene laid before them, their eyes instantly contracted. Shortly after, all of them had circulated their Spiritual Energy to protect themselves.

“This is the final level of the Body Refining Pagoda?”

Mu Chen’s gaze was focused on this ancient battlefield and the brutal aura that swept out in this region made everyone sense what sort of terrifying battle had occurred here.

Buzz! Buzz!

While Mu Chen and the rest were examining this region, the ancient battlefield quietly trembled and they could see that the stench of blood and brutal aura were sweeping up, looking as though they had a substantial form. In the end, it had formed into a scarlet silhouette before them.

That silhouette was donned in a blood-red armour. He stood between the heavens and earth with an endless killing aura that swept over like a tidal wave. The killing intent had instantly caused the four’s bodies to turn stiff, not daring to move.

The four of them had also experienced the torment of life and death. They had not seen anyone with such a dense killing intent before. When that silhouette was alive, that silhouette must have experienced the innumerable rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.

The body of Mu Chen and the rest turned stiff and they did not dare to move. In the sky, the crimson figure slowly lowered its head, looking over without any emotion in its crimson eyes.

Being stared at by those crimson eyes, the hairs on the four of them all stood up and an urge to leave this place immediately swallowed their hearts. Fortunately, the four of them weren’t ordinary goons, so they still managed to suppress the urge and stand firm in this place.

“I am the Blood War Monarch.”

The crimson silhouette slowly spoke. In that instant when it spoke, a crimson gale swept between the heavens and earth, which was filled with a stench of blood.

“Blood War Monarch?” Hearing this name, the faces of Mo Feng, Han Shan and Zong Teng uncontrollably changed as they exclaimed.

“Who is that?” Mu Chen was unfamiliar with the experts that had once existed in the Divine Beast Origin so he immediately asked Mo Feng.

“Legend has it that the Blood War Monarch was a supreme powerhouse in the Divine Beast Origin in ancient times. Despite his ordinary talent, he survived the countless battles, experiencing innumerable scenes of blood rivers and corpse mountains. It was said that this person possessed a cultivation strength in the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm that could threaten even Heavenly Sovereigns!”

“Furthermore, when the Fiend Clans invaded the Divine Beast Origin, this Blood War Monarch fought with his life on the line, sacrificing himself to take down an expert of the Fiend Clan that was comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign.” Mo Feng spoke with revere.

“He died together with a Heavenly Sovereign?”

When Mu Chen heard those words, even his heart couldn’t help trembling. Although it was a level far from his reach, he could imagine the gap between a Greater Earth Sovereign Realm and a Heavenly Sovereign. But since this person could kill a Heavenly Sovereign along with himself, they could tell how powerful he was.

It’s no wonder why such a person still possessed such an astonishing grandeur even after being dead for tens of thousands of years.

While Mu Chen was shocked in his heart, the crimson silhouette indifferently spoke once again, “Receive a fist from me and you will pass the test.”

Hearing those words, the four of them immediately felt their scalps going numb. The person standing before them was a horrifying existence that had managed to kill a Heavenly Sovereign. Even if it was an illusion left behind after tens of thousands of years, he definitely couldn’t be underestimated.

“Damn it, isn’t that too much?!” Even Han Shan couldn’t help clenching his teeth. He had absolutely no confidence in taking that fist from the Blood War Monarch.

Mo Feng helplessly shook his head. He clearly did not hold any hope.

Mu Chen also had his brows furrowed. The difficulty of the fifth level had far surpassed his imagination…

But no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, the Blood War Monarch had an indifferent expression without being affected. Furthermore, after he finished speaking, the killing intent that poured from his body became even more terrifying.

Clenching his five fingers together, a majestic and indifferent voice resounded across the battlefield, “I have experienced countless battles and created my own Divine Ability - Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch. Anyone that can receive it will be bestowed with one move.”

Screw your uncle!

Hearing that not only was the Blood War Monarch going to make a move, he even wanted to use a Divine Ability, the four of them had also practically cursed out. Did that fellow still think that it’s not enough to bully them in this way? What Blood War Monarch, why didn’t he call himself a Shameless Monarch?!

When those words entered their ears, the four of them were stunned for an instant, before their eyes instantly turned red.

Divine Ability?!

They could actually obtain the Divine Ability created by the Blood War Monarch?!

Although their rationale told them that it wasn’t a fist that they could receive, they couldn’t refuse the greed in their hearts. It wasn’t because they were lacking in composure, but because the reward… was too ample!

Just the price of that one move of the Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch alone far exceeded what they had obtained so far!

The four of them exchanged a glance and they could see the dense greed in each other’s eyes. At this moment, there was actually no one that chose to back down…

“Human beings die for the riches, just as birds will for food…”

Mu Chen took in a deep breath and his gaze flickered, looking at the Blood War Monarch. Evidently, no matter what the outcome was, they had to give it a try. At most, they could just admit defeat and be sent out.

After the Blood War Monarch finished speaking, he no longer continued and clenched his fist with torrential, surging killing intent. After taking a step forth, that step seemed like it had caused countless roars between the heavens and earth as an endless brutal aura poured over from time and space, causing this entire region to tremble.

There wasn’t any emotion in his eyes as he looked at the four of them, before he slowly threw a punch forth. At the same time, an ancient voice that trembled the horizon resounded.

“Sacrificing my demonic physique, destroying the past and present in my path.”
