Chapter 983 - Public Execution

Chapter 983: Public Execution

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

At the edge of the unworldly world, countless Fuxi members stared at this with empty minds.

Like a giant who knew no exhaustion, Zhong Yue swung the saber time and time again until he finally decapitated Feng Zhen!

He used the [Dao Crusher] that could crush all Daos in this universe. As long as the Daos were traceable and observable by the totem patterns, then it would be able to slash everything it touched!

Though Feng Zhen’s body was sealed by Fu Shang and his Yuan Shen was suppressed, his body was still powerful that the webbing of Zhong Yue’s would split with every slash!

But that did not stop the monarch level body from resisting the [Dao Crusher]!

With each slash, Zhong Yue would find it easier to sever the totem patterns in Feng Zhen, cutting deep into his flesh and slashing his veins apart.

His saber sharpened as time passed and the number of slashes needed to sever Feng Zhen’s head decreased tremendously.

After a few hours, he had already decapitated Feng Zhen’s head a few hundred times, but the persistent old man continued to regrow his head endlessly while Zhong Yue continued swinging the saber tirelessly.

There was only one thing he sought after, which was to kill Feng Zhen by executing this Fuxi Celestial Race’s traitor before each and every Fuxi in the unworldly land!

Fu Mei’s eyes twitched non-stop. Though as a monarch, their Immortal Body could not last too long, if they suffered a certain level of injuries, the Immortal Body would still break.

Of course, with how strong they were, it would have taken Zhong Yue a few hundred years to kill Feng Zhen.

But things were different now as Feng Zhen was being suppressed.

On top of him sat a monstrous monarch who suppressed his body and Yuan Shen, resulting in a situation where when Zhong Yue decapitated him, his Yuan Shen was being cut off along with his head!

Yuan Shen too, was able to achieve the Immortal Body and Feng Zhen had achieved it. However, compared to the body, the Yuan Shen required even more energy to maintain the Immortal Body, hence, it would only take less than two years to kill Feng Zhen if Zhong Yue kept this up!

And the worst part was that with Feng Zhen’s body still in the seals, the seals were draining his energy quickly even faster than the speed Zhong Yue beheaded him with!

This also meant that even less time was needed for Zhong Yue to kill Feng Zhen!

Other than that, Fu Mei also knew that with each strike, Zhong Yue’s attacks grew ever more perfect, becoming stronger and faster with each passing second.

Zhong Yue was improving quickly; each strike was a test to him as he beheaded Feng Zhen, pushing him further to the next level and perfected his saber techniques.

With such massive improvements, Zhong Yue was able to kill Feng Zhen’s Yuan Shen and body in an even shorter time!

At this rate, it was only a matter of time until Feng Zhen’s death!

“Little friend Wuji, what are you doing?” shouted an elder of the Fuxi Celestial Race.

Zhong Yue, however, ignored him entirely as he continued swinging his saber, beheading Feng Zhen time and time again as soon as Feng Zhen’s head grew out again.

“This is an execution!”

A Fuxi celestial being trembled, “Public execution!”

Silence shadowed over the entire unworldly world. Public executing their old ancestor Feng Zhen before them, the Fuxi Celestial Race in the unworldly world, just how brave was this person and how brutal was he?

He was literally acting like they were non-existent!

But he did that regardless, chopping off Feng Zhen’s head repeatedly in front of them without mercy.

“Little friend Wuji, how could you?”

A lady teared and said tremblingly, “He’s just an old man!”

A Fuxi celestial being shouted angrily, “Xiao Wuji! What kind of hero would bullying an old man make you? I dare you to show your might against me instead!”

But Zhong Yue ignored all the noise and continued to rain down slashes onto Feng Zhen’s neck, honing his [Dao Crusher] throughout the whole process; previously, he needed more than a hundred thousand cuts to kill Feng Zhen. But now, he needed only about a thousand cuts!

“Old ancestor Fu Mei, please help old ancestor Feng Zhen!” cried the Fuxi celestial beings as they all knelt on the river bank.

Fu Mei’s eyes twitched again and he suddenly said after taking a look at the horrendous shadow hiding behind the seals, “All elders! Charge with me, stall that enemy and save Feng Zhen! Who is coming with me?”

The countless Fuxi celestial beings all looked at each other with a blank expression and suddenly, with one of them secretly moved backward, that celestial being triggered a chain effect, causing all of them moving backward, leaving only a few elders at the front.

Seeing this, the elders also moved backwards after a hesitation, leaving only Fu Mei by himself.

“You!”

The furious Fu Mei questioned, “Why are you all such cowards? Show me your bravery, fight with him! If we fail, we will still die an honorable death!”

But his words had the celestial beings faltered even more.

With his anger reaching the peak, Fu Mei smirked and his eyes lit up upon seeing Feng Jikai, “Clan master, the invaders are just right there. As the clan master, you need to set an example by striking them down!”

Feng Jikai, on the other hand, continued drinking and rebutted with insouciantly, “Since when did you all view me as the clan master? Heh, I’m merely a puppet controlled by all of you. You only think about me when something bad happens?”

He continued mocking, “I’ve never left the unworldly world, and now you are expecting me to fight someone like that? Old ancestor, you are the real clan master, so why don’t you make a good example for them? If you charge forward, maybe then we’ll become inspired to follow behind you.”

Fu Mei frowned. Just as he was about to charged forward, he became worried that Feng Jikai and the other Fuxi would not follow.

If that happened, then he would be in trouble.

By then, perhaps he would be the other one who was kneeling there to be beheaded!

Was the risk worth it?

Uncertainty was the scariest thing. With the monster hiding in the seal not revealing himself, the monster’s true strength was shrouded in mystery.

Feng Zhen is already too old and does not have much time left. Why should I risk my life to save a dying old man like him?

As soon as Fu Mei thought of this, he found a reason to comfort himself,?This monster is afraid of charging out the seals. If he charges out, Feng Jikai and the others will have to fight him to death for their own lives. With me around, that monster will be no match for us. If we can keep ourselves safe, then there is no point in risking things for Feng Zhen!

Right now, Zhong Yue was like an executioner, swinging his saber endlessly and beheading Feng Zhen.

Underneath his feet, Feng Zhen’s heads had stacked into a mountain size; in a few months time, Zhong Yue had beheaded him countless times and the decapitated heads would have rolled and stacked onto each other.

His saber was much quicker than before, his [Dao Crusher] even more perfected and his strength increased drastically, which eased his efforts in beheading Feng Zhen.

Though Feng Zhen’s Immortal Body was not as strong as before, more of it was because of his rapidly increased saber techniques which made his work easier!

The most crucial part is that when he beheaded Feng Zhen, there seemed to be something slammed into Zhong Yue’s mind, allowing him to understand Daos even clearer. Now, the barrier between him and the True Deity level was as thin as paper!

Finally, with another strike, blood started flowing out from Feng Zhen’s neck!

It was a sign of Feng Zhen’s Immortal Body was starting to break down!

Previously, even after Feng Zhen was beheaded countless times, there was no blood at all. This new development meant Feng Zhen was dangerously close to his limit!

But Feng Zhen was persistent, growing his head back out again as Zhong Yue continued swinging his saber, cutting his head off each time he regenerated it.

At this moment, Feng Zhen’s regeneration speed was much slower than before and Fu Mei was a little reluctant to see this as his old friend was going to die before this puny Heavenly Deity.

The glorious and mighty existence back then was now being humiliated by a puny insect before his descendant and he was now at his peak.

“Men, formation!”

Fu Mei shouted and the Fuxi celestial beings behind him immediately formed a massive formation.

Meanwhile, with one last swing, Feng Zhen’s head fell onto the ground, the monarch blood gushed out insanely and rained down like a waterfall!

And with that, Zhong Yue trembled vigorously for a second as he felt the Daos in him reach the peak. The barrier between him and the next level was no more as he ascended to a True Deity!

With the monarch dead, he became a True Deity!

Feng Zhen’s head had granted Zhong Yue the chance to enter the next level!

Then, Zhong Yue lowered his head and stood aside with his saber sheathed.

“Execution completed. The sinner is dead.”

Like a real executioner, Zhong Yue announced it with a rumbling voice.

After some time, every drop of Feng Zhen’s blood finally flowed out from his body, the ancient monarch level Yuan Shen’s Qi drained out, and the Daos writhed as his body began to rot.

With a kick, Zhong Yue kicked this headless body into the seals and Feng Zhen’s body was grinded into pieces along with his Yuan Shen!

On the other side, Hundun Yu meticulously recorded down everything that had transpired.

The Mengchong Warship then turned around before proceeding to sail deep into the seals.

With a humphed, Fu Mei’s voice rumbled across the skies, “You are not Xiao Wuji! You little brat! Who are you? Who is that standing behind you? Are you brave enough to reveal yourself?”

On the warship, Zhong Yue turned around, a cheerful smile split across his face, “Xian Tian Palace’s Yi Feng, Left King Yi serving Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. I am the one everyone knows as Mister Yi! Greetings, old ancestor Fu Mei.”

“Yi Feng? King Yi? Mister Yi?”

Fu Mei’s eyes twitched as he nodded, “I’ll remember this name deep in my heart, along with your name will be Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s name. One day, I will return this humiliation to you!”

Zhong Yue smiled, waved the innate divine saber before plunging it into the light wheels spinning behind his head and said calmly, “I suppose there is no need for that as I will come to you! Wash your neck properly so that it will not dirty my saber when the time comes.”
