CHAPTER 798: CHAPTER 557: MULTIPLE UNDYING KINGS ARRIVE (REQUESTING MONTHLY TICKETS)

"The Court?"

Chen Yuan was a bit surprised upon hearing this, though not much. His pupils merely contracted for a moment before returning to normal.

It was in line with the Court’s usual nature.

"It seems you’re not surprised!" The White-clothed Monarch’s black eyes rolled, and the lake beneath his feet rippled slightly, a wave rising and carrying him upwards, circling around Chen Yuan a few times. "Or do you know something?"

"Was it the Court that sent you?"

This time, the White-clothed Monarch’s voice was very calm, but Chen Yuan sensed the sinister nature of this monarch and the chill in the air.

He thought to himself that this person was said to be one of those from years ago, but in truth, he was just an Undying King resurrected from flesh and blood, awakening ancient wisdom, essentially a genuine Great Demon!

His temperament seemed to be extremely unpredictable!

If he didn’t know what happened back then, and you didn’t tell him, asking him these deadly questions, was it polite?

Facing the threatening gaze of the "circling" monarch, Chen Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, "Your Excellency already asked for my identity before, and I have truthfully informed you. Now that you have brought me here, what is the point of asking me these questions again?"

"If you want to fight, then let’s fight. I am prepared."

"Besides, while I am somewhat interested in the affairs between you and the previous dynasty, it doesn’t concern me much. I only wish to leave this place and return outside. What happens here is none of my business."

As he spoke, he smoothed his sleeves and placed his hands behind him, his entire body radiating a surge of golden light, raising his head slightly, the aura rising steadily.

The White-clothed Monarch, a few meters above the lake, actually laughed, combined with those pitch-black eyes, it was indeed a bit eerie.

"Aren’t you just like those people outside, wanting to break in and seek the Heavenly Treasure?"

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Isn’t the King known for discerning truth from falsehood? I remember I already answered this before."

He had no intention of entering alongside those people; in fact, he had incited them.

"After saying so much, it seems the King still doesn’t believe me, so I shall take my leave!"

Looking at this White-clothed Monarch, Chen Yuan found him extremely awkward. After a previous battle, Chen Yuan had already disclosed some information, which led the monarch to bring him here. But at this moment, he guessed the monarch had something to say, deciding to retreat strategically.

With that, he made a gesture to soar into the sky, while simultaneously, his internal energy was ready to erupt, prepared for the worst.

In the moment he ascended, the White-clothed Monarch slowly spoke, his voice turning deep,

"Are you not interested in knowing what transpired here back then?"

"I am, but not much. If the cost to satisfy a moment of curiosity is something I must bear, I’d rather not know."

Chen Yuan was very clear-headed, continuing to ascend, rising higher than the White-clothed Monarch.

"What if I could help you break through to Martial Saint?" The White-clothed Monarch looked up, his gaze deep, his voice quiet, yet it sounded like a thunderclap to Chen Yuan.

Martial Saint?

The human pinnacle, akin to the Land Immortals, an aspiration for all martial artists under the heavens!

Chen Yuan paused mid-step, his pupils contracted into golden threads, surprised that this monarch suddenly offered such a tempting condition. Clearly, the other party had noticed that he had already condensed his second Golden Flower and was just one step away from becoming a Martial Saint!

That final step for him was both difficult and not, a matter of time.

To be honest, he was quite tempted; condensing the Primordial Spirit and the Golden Flower, while Luck Points could expedite the process, could not replace what was missing, such as strengthening the Primordial Spirit, uniting with the true path.

However, as he hadn’t figured out this monarch’s purpose, he wouldn’t act rashly. The other party had engaged him in battle and spoken so much, certainly harboring ulterior motives.

He adjusted his grip on the handle, deciding it was better to take his leave. Previously, this monarch mentioned that climbing Black Mountain and breaking through the Thunder Sea was the only way out of this Burial Land!

Just now, when the monarch was struck down by the Thunder Sea, he could have seized the opportunity, but he did not. Clearly, he wished to extract some information from this Undying King, but now it seemed the other had schemes.

"I appreciate the king’s kind offer, but there’s no need to trouble yourself."

With that, his body radiated golden light, ascending swiftly.

At that moment, the White-clothed Monarch’s voice echoed in his ears, the tone turning lazy,

"You won’t be able to get out."

"This barrier composed of Death Qi is difficult to enter, difficult to leave. You’ve been tainted by the Death Qi of this Burial Land, and that Thunder Sea will sense it, and once you reach a certain distance, it will unleash a thunder tribulation similar to mine, different from those outside who climb the mountain, whether human or demon."

"Don’t believe me, feel free to try!"

As he spoke, the White-clothed Monarch waved dismissively, as if indifferent.

Chen Yuan’s third eye between his brows twitched slightly, yet his form did not stop. No matter what, he had to give it a try, refusing to be led by the nose.

Having accompanied the White-clothed Monarch once, Chen Yuan was familiar with the path, transforming into golden light, shredding the dark, deathly silence of this place, charging straight up along the black Giant Mountain.

The scenery remained unchanged.

Upon closer look, still terrifying.

Chen Yuan gazed upwards, his golden eyes flickered, once more witnessing the brilliant Thunder Sea, still feeling immense pressure.

He continuously ascended, his whole body taut, like a leopard lurking in the darkness. As he surpassed the position where the White-clothed Monarch once stood and the Thunder Sea remained unmoved, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, beginning to doubt the truth of the Monarch’s words.

However, when he continued to climb another mile, suddenly, a loud crash echoed from the sky’s Thunder Sea.

A warning sign rose in Chen Yuan’s heart, his gaze sharpened.

A vortex appeared in the Thunder Sea, striking down a blood-red Thunder Pillar, not as thick as those from the White-clothed Monarch, but still terrifying, as fierce as blood.

"Heavenly Mastery Five Thunders"

"Moving Stars and Changing Dipper"

"Flowers Blossom in a Moment"

"...."

Chen Yuan’s face turned grave, and with a roar, he simultaneously performed several Heavenly Mastery Divine Powers, while a gunshot rang out, echoing across the sky.

In an instant, a Five-Colored Thunder Tree blossomed in the void around him, with a thousand golden flowers above his head, bejeweled pendants hanging, continuous and unending, radiant with light, starlight entwining.

The blood-red Thunder Pillar tore through the darkness, shooting down, Chen Yuan roared skyward, his spear emitting a resonant dragon’s roar, piercing the thunder.

"Boom"

A dazzling blood-red explosion.

Fifteen minutes later,

In the sky above the oasis of the big city, a dark golden stream of light tore through the pitch-black abyss, plummeting down.

"Bang"

Fell into the green waters of the oasis.

When Chen Yuan floated up from the water, somewhat disheveled, he spat out a mouthful of water.

A teasing voice immediately rang in his ears,

"Did this King deceive you?"

"To withstand the time under that Thunder Sea, you, sir, hide even deeper than I imagined. It’s hard to fathom how you obtained all those treasures and skills, truly monstrous."

With those words, a hand reached out, gesturing towards Chen Yuan in the water.

The White-clothed Monarch half-squatted in front, a curve on his lips, his demeanor ever-changing.

Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed as he placed his palm on the extended hand, leaping out of the water, and then with a shudder, his body rapidly dried.

"Say hello!"

At this moment, the White-clothed Monarch stepped aside, revealing two people behind him.

One wore a blood-red cassock, adorned with skull beads, one side of his face fierce, the other merciful, one eye black, one red;

This was none other than the Undying King who had pursued Chen Yuan at White Bone Ridge before.

Two sinister pupils fixed on Chen Yuan, the red eye flickering with a violent intent, while the black eye examined, as if possessing two different souls;

The other, extraordinarily tall, with a pale face tinged faintly with greenish-grey, high cheekbones, deep-set eyes like two dark voids, with spectral green flames flickering within, invoking a chill, as if even the air would freeze.

Long black hair draped to his waist, a few strands moved without wind, coiling around his neck like a resting viper, with a slight upward curve at the corners of his mouth, each side adorned with a dark red scar extending to the ears, like claw tears that had healed, adding to his sinister appearance.

The instant Chen Yuan met the gazes of these two, his pupils turned icy; damn it, yet another two Undying Kings.

Each more sinister than the last!

"I have met the two Kings!"

Facing one Undying King, he could barely match a few moves; now, with two appearing, Chen Yuan could only brace himself.

The two Undying Kings stared intently at him, and suddenly, their figures shifted, as if teleporting, a wave of death sweeping towards Chen Yuan,

The White-clothed Monarch stepped forward, colliding, to fend off the momentum and break the tension,

"Wake up, both of you. It’s not easy to have such a guest."

He turned his head slightly, half-smiling at Chen Yuan,

"No need to be nervous, staying here for so many years, no one remains sane, and some old monsters are on their way; they’ll welcome you warmly."

"And then, you’ll know!"

"For now, you should realize that you can’t leave on your own, and since you claim to be a Patrol Angel, this matter might not just be yours alone."
