Chapter 754 - 78: Celestial Monarch Yun Ku: Zhou Xun, Long Time No See!

Chapter 754: Chapter 78: Celestial Monarch Yun Ku: Zhou Xun, Long Time No See!

The crowd exited Sea Suppression Immortal City and arrived at the agreed location for the duel between the two races.

Raising their eyes, they saw that this place was already packed with people, with the noise rising and falling incessantly.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators occupied a range of several dozen miles,

their expressions varied; some had faces full of tension, tightly gripping their magical treasures as if ready to unleash them at the slightest provocation.

Opposite them, there were also countless demon beasts lined up in rows stretching several dozen miles, imposing and formidable.

Their forms varied, exuding strong auras,

some as enormous as small hills, others as agile as lightning, roaring or softly growling, their eyes revealing fierce glints, glaring intently at the human race’s camp.

Above the Demon Race’s ranks, a layer of demon qi faintly lingered, like a heavy dark cloud, giving off a sense of oppression.

In between the two, this area spanning several dozen miles was the battlefield for the duel.

At this moment, the sun had just risen,

its light spilling over the battlefield, yet unable to dispel the tense atmosphere.

Zhou Xun and his peers flew directly to the front.

At this time, True Monarch Qianchuan slowly flew over, arriving in front of True Monarch Yama, bowing slightly:

"Alliance Leader, the stage is ready, and everyone is prepared for battle. Should the Demon Race go back on their word, we can immediately engage in combat!"

True Monarch Yama nodded slightly,

"Then it’s settled. Next, once Elder Yun Ku arrives, we can officially begin!"

"No need to wait, I am here!"

Just then, a voice echoed in their ears,

and then, with a flash of radiance, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, transforming into an old man.

"Greetings to Celestial Monarch Yun Ku!"

True Monarch Yama led the ceremonial gesture.

"No need for formalities!" The old man smiled faintly,

at this moment, Zhou Xun curiously glanced at the old man,

and upon seeing his face clearly, his pupils involuntarily contracted,

"Master Yun Ku!"

At this moment, Celestial Monarch Yun Ku also noticed Zhou Xun’s gaze, looked over, and smiled with a nod:

"Zhou Xun, long time no see!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun immediately confirmed that the Yun Ku Master of yore was indeed today’s Celestial Monarch Yun Ku.

But how Yun Ku Master could become a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch was truly astonishing.

However, he soon understood the reason.

According to scriptures, such peak figures in the Human Realm had long transcended the mundane; many enjoyed traveling incognito to experience worldly life.

It seems Yun Ku Master was merely one of his worldly identities.

No wonder after the fall of Red Leaf Square, there was no news of Yun Ku Master.

One must know that, being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a Tier Two Alchemist, it was naturally impossible for him to vanish without a trace for no reason.

Now, the truth is clear.

"Greetings, Master. I failed to recognize Elder’s true face back then, I apologize!" Zhou Xun smiled wryly.

"Haha, I never thought you would escape from that cage of the Eastern Wilderness, and now even achieved the Nascent Soul stage; it’s truly a cause for celebration!"

"If Xionghai knew, he would likely be overjoyed too!" The old man smiled lightly.

Upon hearing the word ’Xionghai’, Zhou Xun’s heart trembled once more,

"By ’Xionghai’, you mean Shan Xionghai, could he still be alive!" Zhou Xun hurriedly asked.

"Indeed, during a journey through the Eastern Wilderness, I never thought I’d encounter such a genius as ’Xionghai’, hence taking him as my direct disciple. He is now cultivating in Great Jin Buddhism!" The old man answered slowly.

"I see!"

At this moment, he had already realized why Shan Xionghai hurriedly departed back then; it turns out he went to cultivate alongside this Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch.

It seems the Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique he practiced must have been gifted by the current person as well.

Immediately bowing with gratitude:

"I have yet to thank Elder for the Body Refining Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Celestial Monarch Yun Ku waved his hand,

"Merely a cultivation technique, not my direct transmission, it doesn’t count as anything!"

"However, in just two hundred years, you’ve attained Nascent Soul and can represent the Central Continent in battle, you must be a person of extraordinary fortune!" The old man lamented,

amidst their casual conversation.

True Monarch Yama felt extremely surprised,

they truly did not expect that Zhou Xun would be acquainted with Celestial Monarch Yun Ku,

and judging from their dialogue, it seemed Zhou Xun had already known Celestial Monarch Yun Ku back in his Qi Cultivation Stage.

’No wonder True Monarch Zhou possesses such strength now; it turns out he had a Divinity Transformation backing him!’

Everyone came to understand.

With such supreme support in the human world, naturally, there is an extraordinary aspect.

Before long, noon arrived,

only to see an ancestor from the Flood Dragon Race flying over in Divinity Transformation.

"Brother Yun, the time has come, shall we begin?"

"Naturally, we may!"

Then, the two Divinity Transformations flew into the sky, settling amidst the clouds, clearly acting as today’s witnesses to prevent either side from reneging.

Simultaneously, True Monarch Yama and the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor flew to the middle of the two races, exchanged a few words, and then True Monarch Yama cleared their throat,

their voice steady and powerful, as clear as ringing bells and lutes, reaching everyone’s ears.

"Today, we gather here to resolve the millennia-old conflicts between the Human-Demon races!"

"This duel between the two races aims to decide victory at a smaller cost and avoid large-scale war conflicts!"

"Each side will dispatch five representatives to take turns entering the stage for duels, ending when one side either dies in battle or voluntarily surrenders,"

"Five will take turns battling until one side’s members are all defeated, and the duel ends!"

"The battleground range may not exceed one hundred miles from this place, or else result in automatic defeat!"

"This duel will be personally witnessed by the two races’ Divinity Transformations, ’Celestial Monarch Yun Ku’ and ’Golden Jade Demon Monarch’!"
