Disbelief filled Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s eyes, he looked down at the old tree that pierced through his body and looked back at Queen Goddess, he questioned puzzlingly, “Zitong, why…?”
“Your Majesty,” Queen Goddess cast the old tree and the Tree of Life was covertly siphoning Di Ming’s life force. Blood was gushing out of his body, all the blood essence, cultivation, and Dao he cultivated his entire life was sucked away from him.
She said happily, “I don’t want to be a queen, I want to be the Heavenly Monarch.”
“When I am the Heavenly Monarch, aren’t you the Heavenly Monarch too?” Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s face was distorted, he said, “I thought, we were in love.”
Queen Goddess nodded, she chortled, “Other than Your Majesty, I still have my own male concubines. Yang Hou, what are you waiting for?”
Demon Monarch Yang Yang Hou laughed happily, he lunged toward Celestial Monarch Jin Wu while saying in laughter, “We only slept once, I am not your concubine! I am the ruler of the ancient universe!”
“Of course you are not, you stand on par with me. The ancient universe and Zi Wei will mind their own businesses.” Queen Goddess smiled, she continued, “Qing He.”
A river billowed from far, crashing down at Monarch Jin Tian and sending the monarch backward with blood coughing of his mouth. The Jintian experts around him were also impacted by the sudden attack, they were severed injured and fell off from Monarch Jin Tian’s Six Paths Reincarnation.
Monarch Qing He stood on the surface of the clear river, slamming his hand down on Monarch Jin Tian’s chest while laughing, “To be able to become the head of the concubines of an empress, I’m more than willing to do so!”
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was shocked and angered, he fluttered his wings and evaded Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s attack. He smirked coldly as he said, “The great Demon Monarch Yang Hou, since when have you become Queen Goddess’s concubine?”
Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s attacks were broad and ferocious, he shouted back, “I said, I am not her concubine, I’ve only slept with her once! She is the ruler of Zi Wei and I am the ruler of the ancient universe! Old bird, I’ve been wanting to kill you for a long time already. I’m now merely using her to achieve that!”Heavenly Monarch Di Ming fixated his eyes at Queen Goddess, his voice was hoarse, “Who else have you slept with?”
Queen Goddess chuckled, she shot an arrow at Monarch Chang Sheng and answered insouciantly, “Your Majesty, you’ve slept with so many ladies, and have I questioned you before?”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s essence was siphoned away into the Tree of Life to restore its life. He explained bitterly, “I am the Heavenly Monarch, it’s only normal for the subjects to present me their best ladies.”
Queen Goddess forced Monarch Chang Sheng backward, she chuckled, “And now I am the Heavenly Monarch, what’s wrong in having a few male concubines? It is natural too. Frankly speaking, I’ve slept with Mu Xiantian before as well.”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s hairs bristled, he shouted in anger, “You…”
“Otherwise, how would I eliminate him?” Queen Goddess chortled, “Till death, he still thought I’d turn my back on you to help him kill you. What a cute and naive boy.”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s aura faltered, he said coldly, “Your Wuming Clan is annihilated, what’s in it for you?”
“Wuming Clan’s annihilation?” Queen Goddess shook in laughter, “You don’t know what the Wumings are, do you? Wu, are crows; Ming, means white; So Wumings, are white crows. You should understand what this means, do you? King Yi alone was never enough to annihilate the Wuming Clan. And the Wuming Clan, was never my race from the start.”
She shot an arrow at Monarch Yang Zun and Monarch Chang Sheng each to aid Monarch Qing He in the battle. Then, she continued saying calmly, “Your Majesty, you are probably still unaware of it yet. The Yu Lin Army, Tian He, Xing Xiu, Xing Dou, and the rest of the army divisions are all loyal to you. Whereas those remaining in the Heaven Court are loyal to me. Your forces are diminished, gods loyal to you are mostly dead. Now, those left in the Heaven Court are my people. You’ve already lost. It’s time for you to go now.”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming looked at the black crow on the Tree of Life and suddenly realized, he said bitterly, “Who made you these plans? You don’t have the intelligence for all this.”
“Of course I’ve had help from an eminent figure.” Queen Goddess smiled, “This eminent figure connected me with Monarch Qing He. Monarch Qing He has an advisor who helped me rain chaos to the lower worlds and break the peace of your empire. Mister Wuji was also convinced by the eminent figure to follow me. He has friends all over the universe and helped persuaded your subjects to serve under me. It was also Mister Wuji’s strategy to let you and Mu Xiantian battle first so I can easily reap the fruit of victory.”
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming looked at her in shock while she laughed. He said, “We are husband and wife, we’ve been through thick and thin for so many years. Have you have no feelings toward me at all?”
Affection filled Queen Goddess’s eyes for a split second, she said, “It’s true that I love you. But, I value the throne more.”
Hu-
A willow arrow shot into Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s forehead, piercing through the back of his head.
Queen Goddess couldn’t let herself witness his death and turned her head around. It was at this moment, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming let out a loud roar and pulled the Tree of Life out of his body.
Then, Dao flowers bloomed in the surroundings covering Queen Goddess in the center. The Dao flowers turned into a sword ray which Di Ming clenched in his hand and lunged forward at Queen Goddess’s forehead!
His hairs bristled and his expression was ferocious, but the sword strike stopped just a split second before it touched the lady monarch’s forehead.
Sweat soaked Queen Goddess’s dress, she was dumbstruck by the sudden change. Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s ferocious face looked like a mad beast in her eyes, but suddenly, his expressions softened away and he slapped on her face, sending her flying backward.
“My life has come to an end, why would I bring you along with me to death.” A smile broke out of Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s face, his mortal body and Yuan Shen were starting to disintegrate as he laughed, “What a heartless bitch you are, but I am not you. I loved you, so I’ll let you live…”
Krong!
The Tree of Life swung over and crushed the Heavenly Monarch’s body into two parts from the waist!
Queen Goddess flew back with unrestrained anger, she shot another few arrows down at Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s corpse and sneered frigidly, “Hypocrite!”
She let out a shriek cry, shuddering the dimensions and her voice reached into Heaven Court, she shouted, “Men, listen to me, Di Ming is dead. Exterminate the forces of Monarch Chang Sheng, Monarch Yang Zun, and Xian Tian Palace!”
In Heaven Court, the Qinghe Clan’s army was attacking Heaven Court. Suddenly, Consort Tian Si rose from the Qing He army’s ranks and chortled, “The plan was a success, Di Ming and Mu Xiantian are both eliminated! Mister Wuji, order the Heaven Court’s armies to attack Changsheng Clan! Qinghes, heed my order, attack the Zhongyang Clan!”
In Heaven Court, Feng Wuji laughed happily and shouted, “Gentlemen, it is time for us to make our names in the new empire! Follow my lead!”
The Qing He army turned and attacked the Zhongyang Clan while the Heaven Court’s armies turned to attack Changsheng Clan’s army. All of a sudden, the entire situation took a 180 degree turn, the Changsheng Clan and Zhongyang Clan were losing the war.
“Tianyuan Clan, what are you waiting for?” Feng Wuji rushed to the Western Heaven Gate, he shouted.
Immediately, the Tianyuan Clan joined forces with Heaven Court’s armies and rushed for the Lilian Clan and Yangzun Clan.
Then, Feng Wuji rushed to the Eastern Heaven Gate, he shouted while laughing happily, “Bohuang Clan, is it not time yet?”
The Bohuang Clan turned their backs around and fought alongside the Heaven Court’s armies against the Lilu Clan and Shuilong Clan.
“Retreat, retreat!”
The Changsheng Clan’s generals were shocked and angered, they shouted in orders, “Retreat! Get out of the Heaven Court and go defensive back in our Changsheng Clan!”
The Zhongyang Clan’s armies were also retreating. In a large scale war like this, retreat meant defeat. But if they didn’t retreat, they would all die. At the very least, they could still save most of their soldiers if they retreat, else, if all of them were killed in the war, all hope would be lost for them.
As for the monarch races like Lilu Clan, Shuilong Clan, Lilian Clan, Zunyang Clan, Titing Clan, and the like, they suffered the heaviest casualties. Dead bodies of their soldiers were strewn all over the place.
Meanwhile, the six demon monarch races of the ancient universe gathered their armies and launched an assault at the ancient universe’s celestial races. They stomped into galaxies after galaxies, marching into the celestial race’s lands and even exterminating one of ancient universe’s six celestial monarch races, the Moyun Clan!
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was in the battle with Demon Monarch Yang Hou when he received the news. His shock and anger was indescribable by words!
In the light wheels behind his head, Zhong Yue immediately contacted the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s armies in the Heaven Court and ordered, “Yinxuan, Hexi, retreat from the South Heaven Gate now!”
Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi were still oblivious to the sudden changes, they were puzzled by his order, but their trust in him still had them execute the command given. They instantly ordered the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s forces to retreat from the Southern Heaven Gate.
The Southern Heaven Gate’s armies rushed out in the chase. Tai Feng, Long Zhi, Fu Li, and the generals cast out the monarch weapons and stopped them.
Zhong Yue’s incarnation in the forces stood out from the ranks and shouted loudly, “Senior Martial Brother Lou Zhengshi, Queen Goddess planned an assault and killed Heavenly Monarch Di Ming. You as Di Ming’s most trusted commander, are you going betray your lord and serve Queen Goddess?”
Lou Zhengshi and the Heaven Court’s generals were shocked. It was at this moment, Feng Wuji arrived from the back, he shouted, “Clan master, what are you waiting for?”
Pan Ji laughed happily, he cast the Panhu Clan’s four monarch weapons and suddenly attacked Lou Zhengshi and the others!
At the same time, the Panhu Naval Fleet and Heaven Court Southern Heaven Gate’s armies turned around and attacked the Heavenly River Naval Fleet and other army divisions. The Southern Heaven Gate turned into a turmoil of chaos!
Feng Wuji leaped up and stood on the Southern Heaven Gate, he looked at Zhong Yue from afar and laughed, “King Yi, how does defeat taste? Mu Xiantian is dead, you are a pack of dragons but there is nothing you can achieve without your leader. Surrender to me now, I will grant you a good life and endless wealth. Resist, and you will all die here!”
His words caused mayhem in Heaven Breaching Fortress’s commanders, generals, and soldiers. Mu Xiantian’s death was devastating news to them that it completely extinguished their fighting spirits!
“His Majesty is still alive. Gentlemen, pull yourselves together. Heed my command!”
Zhong Yue’s incarnation shouted, “The armies I lead are invincible, victory will always be ours. I have brought you to the Heaven Court’s doorsteps and I can also bring you to kill Queen Goddess! Follow me as we wage war! We will fight back and save Lou Zhengshi and his men!”
“I see that you’ve chosen death then!” Feng Wuji sneered coldly.
Although Zhong Yue was in Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s secret realms, he wasn’t safe either. Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s prowess was far too strong. After all, he was an innate god demon monarch and has cultivated the seventh secret realm. Even a slight surge of his prowess could claim Zhong Yue’s life!
All of a sudden, Queen Goddess cast the Tree of Life toward Celestial Monarch Jin Wu. Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s face changed drastically, he quickly blocked it with his hands, but the Tree of Life was too powerful. Its power shuddered into his light wheels and trembled his secret realms.
Demon Monarch Yang Hou seized the chance and broke through his defenses, slamming a palm strike down on his back, causing him to spurt out a mouth of blood. Celestial Monarch Jin Wu quickly spread his wings into a million shining innate divine swords that rained toward Yang Hou.
“Little golden bird is going all out!” Demon Monarch Yang Hou laughed happily, he slipped to the side and evaded the attacks while Celestial Monarch Jin Wu flashed away in golden light.
Right at the moment he leaped, the thousand-winged ancient ship trembled and shot out from his Yuan Shen secret realms, sailing toward the Southern Heaven Gate.
