Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 797: Name Shakes The Realms (4)

Clearly, Sovereign Lan Yan was very familiar with Sovereign Mo Lang's personality.

"Sovereign, then what should we do?" the purple-robed figure asked respectfully.

"Spread the news of this battle," ordered Sovereign Lan Yan, gazing down at the purple-robed figure. "Not just throughout the Dao Realm, but to the Spacetime Island and across the vast river of space and time, so that countless factions may know of it.”

"Spread it?" The purple-robed figure was taken aback.

"When astounding deeds are made known to countless beings and powerhouses, they leave an imprint in the collective consciousness, and their radiance grows ever brighter," Sovereign Lan Yan explained slowly.

"As one's reputation flourishes, the workings of heaven and earth subtly shift, strengthening one's providence.

Among mortals, wealth is the profit of fame! But for cultivators like us, providence is the profit of fame," Sovereign Lan Yan declared.

The purple-robed figure nodded, but couldn't help asking, "Sovereign, why must we aid Ming Jian?"

"By helping others, who's to say we aren't helping ourselves?" An enigmatic smile played on Sovereign Lan Yan's face. "Ming Jian's future is unpredictable... Now go!"

"Yes, Sovereign." The purple-robed figure swiftly withdrew.

Within the temple, Sovereign Lan Yan sat alone, her eyes gleaming with an otherworldly light. A High Immortal cultivating for over two thousand years, obtaining the strength of an Astral Monarch?

Truly a monstrous prodigy.

After a moment's contemplation, Sovereign Lan Yan sent a mental summons to two of her strongest subordinates, "Gui Yi, Huang Du, come to me at once."

...

In less than a day's time, using divine crystals in conjunction with various spirit pills, Wu Yuan swiftly restored the mana of both his qi refiner self and mana body to their peak conditions.

Whoosh! Wu Yuan stood up, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding space. From now on, unless I'm completing a spacetime mission, I probably won't be returning to the Snowlight Mist Realm very often.

For Wu Yuan, given his current strength, venturing into the Snowlight Mist Realm posed no challenge or difficulty whatsoever. It offered almost no opportunity for growth.

Moreover, in Wu Yuan's plans, the long years ahead on Spacetime Island would be firstly spent methodically completing spacetime missions one by one. And secondly, continuing to visit various Dao Master battle relic sites to comprehend and cultivate in seclusion.

Let's go. My true self will return to the Spacetime Island first. I can send my mana body to roam the Dao Realm later. Wu Yuan decided. Though confident, he knew Sovereign Mo Lang was secretly watching him, so he naturally didn't dare let his true self wander about freely.

Whoosh! Wu Yuan's mana body flew into his qi refiner self, and then he took a step, merging into the Turbulent Spatial Layer.

Within the Turbulent Spatial Layer were countless beautiful threads as far as his perception reached. But in reality, they were incredibly dangerous.

Wu Yuan traveled through the Turbulent Spatial Layer at light speed, which was equivalent to moving at hundreds of millions of times the speed of light in the Material Spatial Layer. RaꞐоbÈȘ

Before long, Wu Yuan sensed that he had left the range of the Snowlight Mist Realm. He was about to fly even further away when an urgent voice exploded in his mind, "Master, there’s danger! Stop!" It was Astral Monarch Second Devil’s voice.

Boom! Wu Yuan halted instantly, immediately surveying his surroundings warily. All around was silence, save for the ceaseless turbulence of spatial currents.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In a single thought, countless flying swords surrounded Wu Yuan, suppressing ten thousand li of space in every direction.

At the same time, all eight devil marshalls were ready to act.

Hum~ Suddenly, tens of thousands of li away, space rippled as a figure covered entirely in black scales with eight limbs emerged. Its body was towering, its aura vast, as it looked down upon Wu Yuan.

Astral Monarch Wu Yao? Wu Yuan's pupils constricted as he instantly recognized the individual.

This was an extremely powerful Astral Monarch from the Myriad Waves Palace, with ninth-stage Astral Monarch strength. As an Astral Monarch of Space, he was quite famous in the Dao Realm. Wu Yuan naturally knew of him.

Moreover, the fact that Wu Yuan hadn’t detected him in advance indicated that he had descended from the Vacuum Spatial Layer. Combined with such a formidable vital aura, it essentially eliminated the possibility of an impersonator.

A streak of spear light shot through the containment field, shattering it with a heaven shaking boom. Space trembled violently.

Two figures appeared amidst the streams of spatial currents. One wore golden battle armor and had a long tail, with black fur covering his body, resembling an ape. He shouldered a great spear, exuding an overbearing aura. The other wore yellow robes and possessed an extraordinary bearing.

They stood in the void, facing Astral Monarch Wu Yao in the distance, their auras holding an absolute advantage in power.

"Astral Monarch Gui Yi, Astral Monarch Huang Du!" Astral Monarch Wu Yao roared in anger, "You two dare obstruct me? You dare defy Sovereign Mo Lang's orders?"

He invoked the Sovereign's name as a scare tactic.

Wu Yuan, standing at the other end, was inwardly shocked as he gazed at the two imposing figures in the distance.

"Master, that ape-like figure is terrifying. I estimate his strength to be no less than mine, perhaps even stronger," the voice of Astral Monarch Second Devil resonated in Wu Yuan's mind.

"Mm." Wu Yuan nodded.

Astral Monarch Gui Yi was a renowned Astral Monarch in the Dao Realm, having made a name for himself hundreds of millions of years ago. In terms of talent, he barely missed the Supreme Genius benchmark. He even surpassed Senior Brother Jiang Huan and Nie Zhen.

According to the intelligence Wu Yuan had obtained, Astral Monarch Gui Yi was likely at the quasi-Sovereign level of power now, and was undoubtedly one of the top ten Astral Monarchs in the entire Dao Realm.

As for Astral Monarch Huang Du? His strength was somewhat weaker, estimated to be at the ninth-stage Astral Monarch level, but he was an Astral Monarch of Space.

"Wu Yao! Don't try to scare me with the Sovereign’s name," the ape-like Astral Monarch Gui Yi sneered. "I've come here under the orders of Sovereign Lan Yan. If Sovereign Mo Lang is displeased, he can take it up with Sovereign Lan Yan himself."

"Sovereign Lan Yan?" Astral Monarch Wu Yao was instantly alarmed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Several more figures exuding powerful auras suddenly appeared. All were Astral Monarchs, taking Astral Monarch Wu Yao’s side.

They all looked at Astral Monarch Gui Yi and Astral Monarch Huang Du with confusion.

"Hmph! Quite a crowd, and it seems more are on their way," Astral Monarch Gui Yi scoffed. "A bunch of mongrels and chickens, what use is there in having so many?

None of you will be laying a hand on Ming Jian today.

Wu Yao, if you know what's good for you, you'd better scram," Astral Monarch Gui Yi said coldly, his icy gaze sweeping over each of the Astral Monarchs.

The group of Astral Monarchs from the Myriad Waves Palace all felt a hint of dread.

They were well aware of Astral Monarch Gui Yi's reputation as a battle-crazed lunatic, also widely acknowledged as one of the Astral Monarchs most likely to advance to Sovereign in the Dao Realm.

"Gui Yi, you..." Astral Monarch Wu Yao began to speak.

"I said, none of you will be laying a hand on Ming Jian!!" A hint of killing intent flashed in Astral Monarch Gui Yi's eyes as he suddenly whipped out the great spear.

Whoosh! A terrifying spear light pierced through the void, directly traversing hundreds of thousands of li, stabbing towards a seemingly calm area of the void.

Splurch! Space trembled as a white-robed figure was dragged out by the great spear. The spear light then erupted, giving the white-robed figure no time to react before their body instantly exploded!

An Astral Monarch qi refiner had fallen!

Whoosh! The long spear retracted, returning to Astral Monarch Gui Yi's hand, droplets of fresh blood dripping from its tip.

The entire Turbulent Spatial Layer fell silent.

"Now, does anyone else have any objections?" Astral Monarch Gui Yi's gaze swept across the numerous Myriad Waves Palace Astral Monarchs.

Not a single one dared to answer.
