"Mo Yuanlie is dead?"

Shen Xiage's face changed slightly, and he smiled, "King Yi, although you stand as rank one on the Board of Future Monarchs, do you think you are my match? You said you killed Mo Yuanlie, but perhaps you might've used some other powers that don't belong to you. Mo Yuanlie is a brainless butcher immersed in his own lust to kill. It's not hard to kill him with tricks. But I'm different, I'm not him; he is reckless and careless, while I am more cautious and measured, I will not let you have the chance to wield powers of the other sources. So I wonder, how will you kill me with the same trick?

Krong!

The thousand-winged ancient ship trembled heavily, the thousand pairs of wings slashed down like two thousand sabers at the golden dragon!

Zhong Yue's face stiffened up. Shen Xiage was right. His strength was far below Mo Yuanlie and the like. He only managed to kill Mo Yuanlie with the Quasi Star Region's power he had mastered. His own Deity Emperor level prowess was far from being able to kill the near-monarch experts like Mo Yuanlie and the like. However, they were not in the Quasi Star Region now, there was no other power he could borrow!

The thousand-winged ancient ship's thousand pairs of wings slashed on the golden dragon at the same time, shuddering the dragon's body and causing it to soften its grip.

Zhong Yue seized the chance and the ancient ship bolted away from the dragon's twining body!

"King Yi, do you think you can run?" Shen Xiage said and Zhong Yue could feel the surroundings changing drastically.

Star rivers expanded beside the ancient ship. They were one after another huge star wheels accompanied by the emergence of countless stars. Then, the terrifyingly powerful Metamagnet Divine Rays burst out from the stars, connecting each other together like a network!

"Reincarnation?" Zhong Yue was shocked. He turned around and saw Shen Xiage's face enlarging and occupying half of his vision. Immediately, he knew he had fallen into Shen Xiage's light wheels.

Shen Xiage was no weaker than Mo Yuanlie, he too was a near-monarch presence, a peak Imperial Emperor.

He had cultivated his Secular World into Heavens. The light wheels behind his head were already cultivated into his Heavens. And now, the Heavens were opened to contain the thousand-winged ancient ship in it!

In this Heavens, Shen Xiage was the high god. He could control all of the Daos in the Heavens and his prowess was unparalleled. One could even say that Shen Xiage was a monarch in his Heavens!

Similar to Old Man Xuan and Qi's dimensional space created by their [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]. In the time and space created by the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation], Old Man Xuan and Qi were even able to compete with Mu Xiantian.

It was the same kind of power Shen Xiage was now casting!

Zhong Yue was shocked while Shen Xiage reached his hand down on him. Before his hand reached Zhong Yue, billions of stars were shuddering and countless Daos flowed to the palm of his hand!

The thousand-winged ancient ship fluttered the wings and traveled at immense speed, flashing by millions of stars in the blink of an eye. But behind it, the incoming hand's speed was also increasing, nearing the ancient ship every second!

It was purely horrifying to watch. In Shen Xiage's Heavens, such was the prowess he could wield!

The thousand-winged ancient ship's reached its peak, and suddenly, it broke through the dimensions and escaped from the Heavens!

"I said, you can't run!" Shen Xiage continued saying. Zhong Yue glanced around and saw the stars expanding around him as well in this time and space.

Whereas above him, Shen Xiage's humongous face emerged in the sky. He was looking down with a mocking smile.

A second Heavens!

His hand grew bigger, covering half of the skies. At the tip of his were fingers gathered countless stars like sands, moving along as his hand waves!

It was obvious that his palm strike would be a powerful one!

Such was the true prowess of a peak Imperial Emperor!

Mo Yuanlie had the same prowess not any weaker than Shen Xiage, but his death was a tragedy due to the half-innate sacred ground, Quasi Star Region's power stronger than him. Wielding the Quasi Star Region's power, Zhong Yue was able to even break through the Million Demons Banner forged by his teacher Innate Demon Monarch."

He didn't have any chance to showcase his prowess before Zhong Yue inflicted him with severe injuries, eventually leading to his death in the hands of the few Getian gods.

However, Shen Xiage didn't have the same bad luck as Mo Yuanlie. He was able to fully unleash his true prowess and even just the power of his Heavens was enough to kill Zhong Yue!

Krong—

The thousand-winged ancient ship rammed out of the dimensions again and exited the second Heavens. But he didn't escape from Shen Xiage's control as he found himself entering another Heavens.

There were three Heavens!

"How many Heavens can you cultivate?" Zhong Yue roared and continued ramming forward without a stop. However, after one Heavens there would always be another one more. His thousand-winged ancient ship never escaped from Shen Xiage's Heavens.

"Are you still trying to escape from my Six Paths Reincarnation?" Shen Xiage didn't attack, instead, he opened up his palm and the six rivers flew toward his hand while shrinking.

It was a picturesque scene, having billions of stars in one's hand. However, it wasn't a difficult move for a strong expert like him to do. After all, the Heavens were part of his cultivation, they were his Daos.

On the other hand, it was incredibly precarious for Zhong Yue to fall into his hand as that would mean Zhong Yue's very existence would be at his mercy!

Although the thousand-winged ancient ship was incredible, able to pass through dimensions, it could not leave Shen Xiage's six Heavens. It wasn't because it could not break out from the Heavens, but because Zhong Yue's limited ability to unleash the ship's true power!

Furthermore, Shen Xiage's six Heavens had formed the Six Paths Reincarnation, trapping Zhong Yue inside of it!

Even though he wasn't a monarch, Shen Xiage's prowess was not far from it either. Naturally, it was difficult to get out once trapped in his Six Paths Reincarnation.

The six Heavens shrunk smaller and turned into six revolving light wheels in his hand. The thousand-winged ancient ship could be vaguely seen at the middle of the light wheels, shuddering as it rammed through from one light wheel to another but never actually leaving from them.

Shen Xiage kept the six light wheels and smiled, "King Yi, I'm not wrong, am I? Mo Yuanlie is just a brainless butcher. He is no match for you, but I'm not him, I'm a hundred times better than him! The demons are, after all, demons, they are nothing compared to our great celestials!"

He strode away while saying placidly, "Don't you worry, my teacher is the great Innate Celestial Monarch. As his disciple, I have also inherited his justness, I will not torture or do anything to you. My teacher only ordered me to bring you back. So, I just need you to follow me back to the Celestial Monarch Palace."

He didn't go for the Zi Wei Galaxy but headed toward the teleportation portal for the ancient universe. On his way back, Shen Xiage saw war happening everywhere and the people were suffering from it. He smiled, "Zi Wei Galaxy's chaos is good news to those of us in the ancient universe. It's the right opportunity for us to claim Zi Wei for ourselves!"

He continued his journey for a long time before arriving at the teleportation portal. There, the divine guards were still patrolling the area. Just when Shen Xiage was headed to the portal, his scalp suddenly tingled. Then, he immediately turned and fled a far distance away.

Shen Xiage's face stiffened up, he didn't say anything and took a different path. After a long time, the teleportation portal reappeared in front of him again.

Shen Xiage gave a cold sneer, he didn't change a direction again but instead, cast out the golden rope into a golden dragon and rammed directly at the blank space in front of him!

The dimensions rippled violently like waving waters for moments and slowly return back to normal.

"Evil Monarch's Evil Eye Divine Mirror!"

Shen Xiage's cold sweat rolled down his forehead, his voice was hoarse as he shouted, "Senior Martial Brother Xie Yang, when did I fall into your divine mirror? Why didn't I pick up anything at all?"

An eerie burst of laughter came from the skies, it was Evil Monarch Palace's Xie Yang's voice, he said, "If you noticed it, is the Evil Eye Divine Mirror still the Evil Eye Divine Mirror? Xiage, why don't you follow me to the Evil Monarch Palace?"

Shen Xiage gave a loud roar, the golden rope turned into a golden dragon and ravaged the surroundings as he tried to break out from the Evil Eye Divine Mirror. However, the golden rope and divine mirror were equal in strength, one forged by Celestial Monarch and the other by Evil Monarch, none of them was able to defeat the other.

The crux of the battle depended on who was the first one to cast the weapon.

Xie Yang sneakily trapped Shen Xiage with the Evil Eye Divine Mirror first. He merged the divine mirror with the Zi Wei Galaxy's dimension, causing Shen Xiage to unknowingly walk into the mirror while still thinking he was traveling through the Zi Wei Galaxy.

He was only able to realize that it was because the teleportal stage to the ancient universe was reflected due to the mirror's property. The stage in the mirror was horizontally reversed to the real stage and so were the totem patterns on the stage.

But he didn't show it even when he realized it. Instead, he calmly walked in the opposite direction, hoping that he could reach the real teleportal stage instead. But he was already trapped in the mirror now, how was it possible at all for him to walk out now? The next teleportation stage he saw was still the same as the first one. That was when he confirmed he had fallen into Xie Yang's trap.

Outside of the mirror, Xie Yang was donned in a robe with huge sleeves. He was laughing happily and kept the Evil Eye Divine Mirror. He swiped his finger across his forehead, opening a narrow slit which he then planted the Evil Eye Divine Mirror into the opening.

The Evil Eye Divine Mirror was bizarre, it was actually an eerily looking eyeball, forged from one of Innate Evil Monarchs' eyes. Inside of the eyeball was the faint image of a golden dragon soaring in random pattern. Whereas a little figure who looked like Shen Xiage was sitting in the golden dragon's mouth.

"There will always be a stronger expert. Shen Xiage, you are in my trap now, don't ever think of escaping!"

Xie Yang laughed loudly and walked toward the teleportal stage. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat to see a ball of burning flames gushing toward him from faraway!

Behind the ball of heavenly fire was a phoenix lady fanning a fan at him!

"This little lady Feng Yuhuan!"

It happened so quickly that Xie Yang's mind was blank at that moment. The burning heavenly fire burned even the dimensions and crashed heavily onto him, rendering him defenseless against the incoming fan strike that sent him flying backward.

At the same time, the heavenly fire burned in his mortal body and Yuan Shen secret realms, even the Daos he cultivated were getting burning down!
