Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Panda Novel

Jun Mo Xie could sense that three powerful auras were currently rushing in this direction! Regardless of whether they were friend or foe, right now was the most critical time for Mei Xue Yan, and she must not be disturbed! Therefore, he immediately escaped into the ground!

Mo Xiao Yao and the other two Venerables’ speed was exceptionally quick; with their full power, they covered the space of several hundred zhang in almost an instant and landed in the middle of the gorge. As they lifted their eyes and looked, they saw only the swirling snow. The place was exceptionally quiet, and not even half the shadow of a human could be seen!

This was the place where a terrible lightning tribulation had just taken place; how could there be no human traces at all?!

“This should be the place. The calculations can’t be wrong! But why isn’t anybody here? Could it be that my judgement was wrong?” Mo Xiao Yao furrowed his brows and said in a low voice.

“There’s no mistake, I can sense that this was the exact spot as well. Everyone, let’s look around the area carefully.” Jia Qing Yun said.

“Something’s off!” Wei Kong Qun’s brows furrowed deeply, and his face turned somewhat strange. “Xiao Yao, we’ve both experienced the tempering of heaven’s lightning before; to this day, it haunts my dreams, and I can still remember that scene very clearly. Back then, after I successfully broke through, the entire area was charred as black as charcoal; everything was burnt to a terrible extent. Even the mountain peak I was on was struck by lightning so hard that it nearly collapsed. My guess is that your situation was not much different as well. But look at this place…”

He sucked in a deep breath and continued, “Judging by the might of that lightning storm just now, even if these three mountain peaks were reduced to flat ground and levelled with the gorge, it wouldn’t be a surprise at all. After all, that lightning storm was simply too terrifying! But this place… is simply too peaceful! Not to mention the mountains crumbling… even the snow on the ground hasn’t been stirred much… Xiao Yao, don’t you think that this is too abnormal?!

Mo Xiao Yao’s eyes gleamed darkly as he nodded. “It’s exactly as you said. I thought of this problem earlier as well; for such a phenomenon to appear, there are only three possibilities. First, that person was well prepared, and his strength had reached the very peak of cultivation, allowing him to directly dispel the lightning bolts completely into formlessness!

“What’s the second possibility?”

“The second possibility is that that person has a magical treasure on his body that can absorb, or dispel the power of lightning!” Mo Xiao Yao looked around him and continued, “The last possibility, is that this piece of land is unique, and has the ability to absorb lightning without sustaining damage.”

Wei Kong Qun laughed bitterly and shook his head, “I would rather believe in the second and third possibility than the first one. If it’s really the first possibility, that person’s strength must be so great to the point where it could cause the entire world to despair. I don’t think even Saint-level experts can do this…”

“It’s indeed enough to cause one to despair.” Mo Xiao Yao nodded his head and said. The expression on his face was impossible to describe with words. “However, there’s one thing that we can be certain of. Even if that person does not possess that terrifying level of strength, his abilities are at the minimum, not below ours. That’s a clear fact!”

“Indeed, this point is without doubt!” The other two nodded rapidly in agreement.

“We’ve most likely come a step too late. That person has already finished breaking through, so he must have left immediately. If it were us, we would do the same as well.” Mo Wu Dao looked silently upward at the sky for a moment, then finally shook his head, “Let’s go. That person probably hasn’t gone far. But judging from the situation before our eyes, he probably hasn’t suffered any injuries. Our previous plan was based on the person being severely weakened after the breakthrough, giving us a definite chance of success! But now, with just the strength of us three, it’s impossible to take down that person without paying an equivalent price. If that person’s strength is truly that great, we might even incur his displeasure if we went searching for him now…”

The three exchanged a glance and departed.

Only until they had gone very far, met up with their troops, and left toward the Silver City again did Jun Mo Xie finally heave a sigh of relief!

The strength of these three experts was definitely not something that people like Xiao Tian Ya could compare with. They were truly powerful experts!

Turning around, he saw Mei Xue Yan sitting quietly with her eyes tightly shut. A peaceful smile hung on her face, and a pure radiance shone from her entire body. In that moment, Jun Mo Xie was completely captivated by that sight.

After a long time, Jun Mo Xie suddenly fell onto his butt and rolled on the ground. The reason being that the Hongjun Pagoda had suddenly begun to churn! Jun Mo Xie only felt as if his head was being pricked by tens of thousands of needles…

Ever since he stopped releasing spiritual Qi earlier, his mind had been in a highly anxious state due to the arrival of the lightning tribulation. After that, the three Venerable experts appeared, causing him to use the last of his strength to burrow into the ground. While the enemy was around, he didn’t feel feel anything strange because of the adrenaline. But now that the enemy was gone, his mind became relaxed, and he instantly felt the weakness in his body, causing him to tumble to the ground!

The Hongjun Pagoda had released an ocean’s amount of Qi earlier. With Jun Mo Xie’s current ability, it was still quite strenuous for him to endure. Moreover, he had maintained that energy flow for such a long time! Later, because of the lightning energy the Hongjun Pagoda had absorbed, it released a berserk aura for an instant. With one thing on top of another, Jun Mo Xie had very nearly lost control of his spirit!

The backlash this time was unprecedentedly fierce, surpassing any of the previous times!

Due to the danger passing and and the fact that Mei Xue Yan’s breakthrough seemed to be going well, Young Master Jun’s mind had thoroughly relaxed! As he did so, all the fatigue and the pain suddenly came flooding into his head!

He sat down quietly, closed his eyes, and forcefully endured the unspeakable pain in his head. However, he did not make a single sound, afraid that he would disrupt Mei Xue Yan’s comprehension. Jun Mo Xie’s facial muscles contorted violently, and his body shook and spasmed uncontrollably. Sweat poured down his face in large beads, drenching his clothes thoroughly. The ground’s temperature was extremely cold, and once the steamy sweat came into contact with the chilly air, the snow instantly evaporated and turned into white mist which swirled around his body.

This time, the white mist was not Spiritual Qi, but water vapor!

It was Jun Mo Xie’s sweat!

Just like that, he continued sitting for an unknown amount of time until he completely lost consciousness…

After a long time, Jun Mo Xie finally began to stir again. He could feel a pair of gentle hands wrapped around him, lightly wiping away the sweat on his face. At the same time, a boundless, warm, and powerful Xuan Qi flowed continuously into his body. He opened his eyes slowly, and saw Mei Xue Yan’s worried face above his.

“How do you feel?” Jun Mo Xie smiled weakly and asked. “What does it feel like to complete your breakthrough? Did your strength improve a lot?” He glanced around and found out that they’d already returned to the camp. And right now, they were the only two people in the tent…

He tried to move his limbs, but his entire body was wrecked with aches and pain. The pain in his head had not subsided due to his loss of consciousness. Instead, it felt even worse than before, as if 10,000 needles were pricking at his brains nonstop. In just a short moment, his forehead was lined with sweat again. It was simply too painful…

“Mo Xie, don’t move; lie down and recover in peace. Your mother and Qing Han were here just now, but I told them to go back and rest first and that I’m going to treat you and cannot be disturbed. I thought that, you… might have some words to tell me…”

Mei Xue Yan’s voice turned gentler, but it seemed to be choking with emotion. “You idiot, why didn’t you tell me earlier… that you would suffer such a heavy backlash by helping me breakthrough? If you’d told me earlier, even if I were to die… I wouldn’t have let you do that! You… are really an idiot…”

“Keke… I naturally… have words to say to you!” Jun Mo Xie forced a weak smile onto his face and said in a low voice. “Do you know? I… was simply too unresigned! I was unresigned to being suppressed all the time! There’s always someone stronger, stepping down on me and suppressing my existence. That feeling simply sucks, cough cough… Ever since I arrived in this world, no matter what I was doing, my opponent’s strength was always far above mine, forcefully suppressing me! Every time I broke through and felt my strength increase drastically, I would meet a new enemy again. A new, unconquerable enemy that I couldn’t defeat. Every single time, I would be suppressed to the point where I couldn’t even breathe. Thus, every time I broke through to a new level of strength, I would continue to exert my utmost strength…”

A crazed look shone in his eyes, both sharp and profound. “This kind of feeling is too unbearable! I’m truly very tired… it’s very tough! However, I refuse to allow myself to remain suppressed by others—not against any kind of opponent! I am the Evil Monarch! I am the King of Darkness! I’m unresigned to be beneath someone else! I want to trump over all my enemies, no matter how strong they may be!”

Mei Xue Yan’s eyes turned red. She could clearly feel the frailty in Jun Mo Xie’s heart, as well as the crazy pressure he was constantly under!

In the frigid cold of this winter’s night, for the first time in his life, the Jun Mo Xie who was suffering from the pain of a terrible backlash, the Evil Monarch who was at his weakest point, finally bared his heart and told of his pressure and his unresignation!

“First, it’s the Emperor suppressing his loyal subjects. Then, a powerful force like Blizzard Silver City appeared like a archaic mountain, far away and crushingly heavy! After that, the Xue Hun Manor followed closely behind, bursting with arrogance to bully my Jun Family. Before those storms had ceased, even the three Holy Lands joined hands to suppress me. Behind them is perhaps the Misty Illusory Manor, or perhaps some even more powerful force!”

Jun Mo Xie closed his eyes and his face glowed with anger. “Not mentioning the things in the future, the trump cards that the three Holy Lands hold are seemingly endless! Just when I thought that Supremes were the strongest experts, a Superior Supreme popped out! When I assumed that that was the peak, a whole bunch of Venerables appeared. Then, now there are Saints who command those Venerables… this kind of pressure has left me truly powerless! It feels as if no matter which direction I turn in, there’s an immovable mountain standing there! I feel aggrieved! Truly f*cking aggrieved!”

Jun Mo Xie drew a shaky breath and lifted his chin proudly. A cold light shone fiercely in his eyes. “Therefore, I shall smash them apart! I shall grind them all into pieces! Each and every single one of them!” This sentence was spat out through his gritted teeth, one word at a time!
