CHAPTER 1718: CHAPTER 1718: WHAT KIND OF PERSON CAN BE CALLED AN IMMORTAL MONARCH?

Carson Flores was deeply shocked in his heart.

Having been raised in the mortal world, he had heard many sayings about "heaven."

The course of heaven is constant, it exists neither for Yao’s sake nor for Jie’s demise.

Man proposes, heaven watches.

The cycle of heavenly reason, retribution never fails.

And so forth.

When people feel helpless, they often turn to "heaven" for help, hoping it can hear their pleas and bring justice to the world, but this is ultimately just a desperate longing within, is there ever really any response?

The heavenly way is ultimately elusive and unfathomable, perhaps even just a product of people’s imagination.

Yet at this moment, right before their eyes, a seemingly unimposing thunderbolt instantly pierced through the Mountain Protection Array that could withstand a Peak Heavenly Immortal and annihilated a Late Celestial Immortal in an instant!

Xander Frost knew he would not survive, so he spoke quickly, but before he could finish a single sentence, he was gone.

He was literally obliterated by a thunderbolt.

Both his form and spirit annihilated, vanished from the world!

This was the first time Carson Flores truly felt the presence of the heavenly way!

The power of the heavenly way, how terrifying it is!

All of this was simply because Xander Frost broke his promise, speaking words he had vowed not to say.

The Oath of the Heart Demon at least waits for a breakthrough, tribulation crossing, or closed-door meditation to unleash its power, yet this oath’s power comes suddenly, destroys instantly, without a trace of hesitation!

Carson Flores wasn’t the only one shocked; others in the Celestial Palace were deeply stunned too, countless people gasped, feeling a chill down their spines!

Daniel Patel murmured, "I’ve heard of this oath before, but witnessing the consequence of breaking it in person, that’s a first..."

Carson Flores slowly came back to himself from the shock, "The power is huge, not to mention a Heavenly Immortal, I’m afraid not even those beyond the Great Land could withstand it?"

Daniel Patel smiled wryly, "Below Immortals, probing into non-human power, above Immortals, touching the edge of the way, peering into the great way, beyond the Great Land, mastering the power of the way, mastering the rules, steering the rules, becoming the rules..."

Carson Flores was silent for two seconds, then spoke, "Xander Frost was eliminated by heavenly way’s thunderbolt, it shows he was telling the truth, Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas... does senior know of this person?"

Daniel Patel shook his head, "I haven’t been concerned with worldly affairs for a long time, so I don’t know this person."

"I know."

A Golden Immortal from the Immortal Palace Team stepped forward, explaining, "The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas is a loose cultivator, whose origins are unknown, said to come from the High Immortal Realm, naturally possessing a Water Spirit Body, once tamed a True Dragon as a steed, and is quite famous across a large area in the southern Heavenly Profound Continent."

"He once challenged many Peak Heavenly Immortals and never lost. Together with his powerful ultimate move ’Peace over Four Seas,’ he was eventually respected as the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas."

"The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas travels unpredictably, no one knows where his cave mansion is, his conduct is both righteous and evil, so his reputation is neither good nor bad, but who would’ve thought he threw in his lot with the Heavenly Alliance and even became a White Cloth Blood Envoy..."

Carson Flores instinctively thought of Selah Ellison, whom he’d closely encountered as a top-tier powerhouse.

Is this Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas as strong as Selah Ellison?

Carson Flores suddenly thought of a question, "Senior, even though both are Peak Heavenly Immortals, why are some called Immortal Monarchs while others are not?"

Daniel Patel explained, "Immortal Monarchs are typically those whose strength at the realm of Peak Heavenly Immortal is far superior to normal level Peak Heavenly Immortals, so much so that they have crushing abilities over others."

"Such people, with superior talent, have combat power much higher than others at the same realm; it’s almost not on the same level at all, so to show respect, we use the title of Immortal Monarch."

"Simply put, if a Peak Heavenly Immortal can repeatedly defeat other known Peak Heavenly Immortals and maintain an unbeaten record, others would add the title ’Immortal Monarch’ to their name out of respect."

"Domain Masters are such; the title of Mad Martial Immortal Monarch is well-known, but after unifying the Immortal Domain, fewer people use that title, and he is respectfully called Domain Master."

Carson Flores suddenly understood, so that’s how it is!

Isn’t this similar to the Half-Immortal Body in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm?

Back then Princess Hail, Yan Kuangtu and others took Immortal Origin Pills; their realm remained at Hollow Void Peak, but their combat power was far beyond the Hollow Void Peak, even beyond Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but still far below Human Immortal.

Carson Flores looked at Daniel Patel expectantly, "Senior, what about you?"

Daniel Patel sighed, "Though my strength is strong as well, and I’ve defeated many Peak Heavenly Immortals, I’ve also lost twice, so the title of Immortal Monarch doesn’t fall upon me."

"Besides, we were all following the Domain Master at the time, and he was the Mad Martial Immortal Monarch. If I were to take such a title, it wouldn’t be right, so I simply abandoned it. I suppose most people’s impression of me remains as the First Chief Guard of the Immortal Palace."

Carson Flores nodded, "Now that we know the identity of the White Cloth Blood Envoy, we should promptly encircle and annihilate him to prevent information from leaking and provoking his alertness. The biggest question now is, when we face him, can we withstand him?"
