Chapter 536 - Nine-headed Lion

That was a barren mountain, there weren’t any monsters that stayed there. The sky above was clear and bright, but not even the birds were willing to fly over that place, leaving only the scant patches of clouds hanging overhead.

Shi Buyi stood on the top of the mountain with his hands clasped behind his back as he completely blended in with the surrounding heaven and earth.

“My good disciple, you really cultivated the True Spirit? I’m so overjoyed when I heard that and couldn’t refrain myself from seeing you. Thus, I rushed over to meet you here.”

Shi Buyi smiled gently, his eyes filled with enthusiasm as he said, “My good disciple, quick, cast your True Spirit and let me a look.”

Long Yue glanced around, he didn’t cast the True Spirit as he told, instead, he asked, “Teacher, why are you here?”

Shi Buyi was puzzled for a second, he then laughed and said, “Why can I not be here?”

Long Yue answered placidly, “This is a barren land, there aren’t any monsters in over a thousand mile radius of here….”

Shi Buyi smiled, “What sort of thing are you alluding to?”

“That you will harm me, teacher." Long Yue bowed with the Fang Blade on his back, he said, “I might be overthinking, but I just can’t help it.”

Shi Buyi laughed loudly, he assured, “Long Yue, you are indeed thinking too much. You are already a magnate now, I only feel joy at my disciple’s success. How can I harm you?”

Long Yue nodded and said, “I might really be just overthinking. Teacher, if you want to look at my True Spirit, then please do.”

His body swayed and a six-eyed celestial being rose behind him. It was ten thousand feet tall with six eyes and three feet, six bright moons emerged behind him and looked as though they were moons that fell from the sky.

Shi Buyi stared closely, he was overjoyed and praised, “It’s really the True Spirit! Good disciple, now, cast your【Monster God Ming King Art】!”

Long Yue followed, his mortal body turned into the body of the combination of moon spirit and the Monster God Ming King. He turned into a three-legged, six-eyed and eight-armed celestial being, bursting in immense power and aura.

Suddenly, the six eyes merged together and formed a divine eye. Then, another pair of eyes appeared beside it, with the divine eye in the center shining bright in godly rays.

“Teacher, are you satisfied?" Long Yue smiled and asked.

Bright smile radiated across Shi Buyi’s face, he clapped his hands and praised, “Satisfied, satisfied! You grown strong enough, and it is time for me to reap my fruits now!”

“Teacher, you want my divine eye?" Long Yue asked abruptly.

Shock flashed past Shi Buyi’s heart, a blurred expression climbed on his face and he asked, “You knew that I wanted your eyes?”

Long Yue smiled, he strode onto the mountain and said casually, “From the day I acquired the【Monster God Ming King Art】, I knew the plans you for me already. Teacher’s【Monster God Ming King Art】is flawed and you are missing of the Ming King divine eye’s totem patterns, the most crucial part in the【Monster God Ming King Art】. Without it, your cultivation base will still grow as you cultivate, but so will that flaw.”

Shi Buyi was surprised, he watched as Long Yue walked closer to him he asked, “So you knew about it already, then why are you still here to see me?”

Long Yue stood in front of Shi Buyi on the mountain, he said, “Teacher, I bet you don’t know, but the battle between you and Feng Shang, I’m the one who told the old headmaster of your flaw. I’m the one that made your prowess impaired.”

Shi Buyi’s pupils constricted to pinheads, he stared intently on Long Yue. Suddenly, faint figure of a nine-headed lion appeared behind him, all eighteen eyes were glaring at Long Yue.

“Only with you being gravely injured, can I have the chance to rise." Long Yue said placidly still, “Teacher, you are still young, and the fires of your life are still burning strongly. You’ve only spent tens of years to become a magnate and climb to the pinnacle of the East Barren. But this divine eye matter has stalled you too much, if it weren’t for the damage you suffered in the battle with the old headmaster, you would probably be halfway to deityhood by now.”

Shi Buyi exhaled deeply, as if he was breathing out the negative emotions from affecting his thoughts. Then, he said in a placid tone, “So it’s you who told Feng Shang of my weakness, of the【Monster God Ming King Art】’s flaw. Who gave you such courage to do so?”

“I did." A voice interrupted the conversation, Zhong Yue casually strode out from Long Yue’s light wheels. He smiled warmly and greeted, “Zhong Yue greets the Monster Overlord Shi.”

“Zhong Yue!" Shi Buyi’s eyes turned as cold as ice, “Long Yue, you’ve fraternized with the humans and betrayed your own race? You traitor, you dare call yourself a monster?”

Zhong Yue still had the same smile on his face, he asked, “Teacher, why do you say that?”

“Teacher? Zhong Yue, you call me your teacher?" Shi Buyi’s face changed drastically. Suddenly, heads grew out from his neck and many pairs of eyes stared back and forth between Zhong Yue and Long Yue. The nine heads said in unison, “You call me your teacher, could it be…”

“Long Yue is me, but I am not Long Yue." Zhong Yue raised his head up and glanced around, he said smiling, “What a nice place, the four elders aren’t with you, are they, teacher? You really chose a good place to die.”

Shi Buyi laughed out loud, his voice suddenly turned even colder as he said, “Zhong Yue, do you think you can kill me alone? Do you have the strength of Feng Shang? Even Feng Shang couldn’t kill me, let alone you!”

“Which is why I came as well." Another voice echoed down from the sky. Shi Buyi looked up and saw a patch of clouds descending. A young cultivator walked out from the clouds and appeared in his vision.

“Gu Hongzi!" Shi Buyi’s face changed, he suddenly laughed and said, “You dare to show yourself again? Good, good, good!”

Gu Hongzi replied placidly, “Shi Buyi, last time, I was defeated and made it out alive. But this time, I will kill you.”

Shi Buyi looked at Zhong Yue, Long Yue and Gu Hongzi, he suddenly laughed loudly and said, “You juniors know no fear and terror, even if the two of you joined hands together, you can’t defeat me either. Qingshan, come out!”

His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoes resounded across the mountains. But Qiu Qingshan did not appear, nor were there any replies.

“Qingshan!" Shi Buyi shouted again, “Qiu Qingshan!”

But Qiu Qingshan never came out. Cold sweat dripped down Shi Buyi’s forehead, he suddenly smirked and mumbled, “What a child, even you betrayed me? I thought you were the most loyal disciple I have, I was just planning on giving you my position after I ascended. Who knew you would be a traitor too!”

Zhong Yue glanced around and stared fixedly at Shi Buyi, he shook his head and said with pity, “Teacher, you never treated you disciples well, and yet you asked loyalty? Among your disciples, Lang Qingyun was a spy from the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, under your teachings, he even betrayed us to the side of the insect race. Your two female disciples fought among themselves and died together. As for me, you planned and wanted my divine eye from the start. And why would Qiu Qingshan come? The sooner you are dead, the sooner he will become the next monster overlord.”

Gu Hongzi glared a pair of cold eyes, he said, “Even if he came, he would be on our side as well. Shi Buyi, you want to know why the monster race could never rise with you leading us? It’s because you were always jealous of the monster race’s young talents, you never allowed them to grow strong enough and killed them regardless of whether they even cared for your position. Now, you are facing the consequences of your myopic actions. In your rise to the top, you’ve cast everyone aside. And now, you will die with nobody by your side. Do you regret?”

Shi Buyi’s face turned pallid, he smirked softly and the laughter gradually turned maniacal, eventually shuddering rocks and mountains.

“I am wrong? Bullshit!" All nine mouths shouted in anger, his voice trembled the sky, “I never did anything wrong! I am the rightful ruler of the monster race. If it weren’t for the【Monster God Ming King Art】that stalled me for so long, I would already be a monster god now! You two little children who don’t even know the depth of my power, you think you can stop me with just words? You can you can talk me out of this? You are still too naive!”

Krong——

Shi Buyi fully unleashed his aura and turned into a nine-headed lion-faced celestial being. In a single stomp, the mountain they stood on was crushed into pieces. He laughed loudly and spat, “You two brats, you underestimate me!”

Nine divine eyes emerged in the middle of his nine foreheads, the energy of heaven and earth then swirled toward his divine eyes like a voracious vortex!

“【Heaven and Earth Eight Extremes】!”

The nine-headed lions roared loudly and raised his eight arms up into the sky. And when his arms slammed down again, the Eight Extreme Weapons appeared in his hands and formed into a slaughtering array as he struck at Zhong Yue, Long Yue and Gu Hongzi!

Krong!

Zhong Yue cast out the Golden Peng Sword and clashed head on with Shi Buyi. A loud boom crashed in their ears and Zhong Yue was pushed back continuously. Holes were created beneath his feet and his palm was ruptured in that strike!

What? How strong!

Zhong Yue was shocked, Shi Buyi’s arcane energy was really strong and abundant. Even the Kun Peng magnate and dragon magnate didn’t have such immense arcane energy like Shi Buyi!

The【Monster God Ming King Art】was a cultivation technique strong in the arcane energy in the first place. Coupled with the fact that Shi Buyi was an abnormal talent to begin with, the situation certaintly did not look to be in their favor!

As soon as Zhong Yue struck back, Gu Hongzi was also pushed back by the impact force, whereas Long Yue spurted out a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground. The three of them were struck hard by Shi Buyi in just one bout!

Among the three, Gu Hongzi’s Yuan Shen fused with the monster god’s spirit. His arcane energy was the strongest of the three of them, but even he couldn’t defeat Shi Buyi in terms of arcane energy.

“The divine weapons!” Gu Hongzi shouted. He cast the serpent spear out and rained a barrage of attacks on Shi Buyi. Long Yue cast out the Fang Blade into the air and held the venomous fangs in his hands as he struck at Shi Buyi.

Zhong Yue inhaled a deep breath of air, light wheels revolved on his back and the Yuan Shen secret realms were fully opened. Immediately, the energy in the heaven and earth billowed into his mortal body and Yuan Shen at a crazy rate. Zhong Yue crouched down a little and in a burst of strength, he lunged over at Shi Buyi.

“Nine Revolving Inner Core!”

The Tai Chi Force Field emerged and covered a land of thousand miles in distance, trapping Shi Buyi within and suppressed his cultivation base.

An altar appeared behind Zhong Yue and the figures of gods stood on top of it, they bowed down toward Shi Buyi!

Meanwhile, Gu Hongzi and Long Yue circled around the nine-headed celestial being. Blood soaked their clothes, some belonged to Shi Buyi and some belong to themselves. Even with the Tai Chi Force Field suppressing the nine-headed celestial being, they still couldn’t fully hold down Shi Buyi!

The【Worshipping of Gods】struck over and Shi Buyi was nearly tossed off balance. He staggered for a split second and roared out loud immediately after. The Tai Chi Force Field was disrupted and heavily impaired to the brink of collapsing.

Zhong Yue shuddered violently and blood trickled out of his mouth, he shouted, “The inner cores!”

Hu——

Gu Hongzi and Long Yue heaved a long breath together and cast out their Nine Revolving Inner Cores together. Three different inner core force fields slammed down and suppressed Shi Buyi!
