Chapter 23: The Daoist Lord's Apprehension (6000th Grand Chapter)_4
His main body had already suffered significant damage. Although he seemed to be able to converse calmly with Wang Sheng, he actually wanted to kill Wang Sheng immediately.
After saying this, the True Monarch disappeared.
Like he said, his main objective was to see if he could use this incarnation to perceive some of Wang Sheng's secrets.
This was both respect and fear.
He was afraid!
In Wang Sheng's world, where his main body could not descend, there was no way to conquer it anymore.
Given Wang Sheng's cultivation speed, the next time they met, he didn't know whether he could still contend with him.
If he could see through some of the secrets, that would naturally be better.
Unfortunately, it was a predictable failure.
The True Monarch was decisive, disappearing immediately after the failure.
"I'll come back... this world will ultimately be mine..."
Wang Sheng faintly heard these words.
He felt no fear; instead, he laughed, for the greatest crisis had finally been completely resolved.
The Eighth Realm was no threat, and the Ninth Realm could not act again.
"It's finally over, as for the True Monarch... perhaps the next time we meet will be in your world!"
After saying this, he began to recover.
...
Chaotic Realm.
This time, the True Monarch acted through an incarnation, and though there wasn't much commotion, it was still a cross-world operation, and the World Will was somewhat aware of it.
Moreover, it sensed that the True Monarch was not faring well.
It seemed he had sustained considerable injuries.
[Injuries have arisen out of nowhere, and he hasn't shown himself, could it be... that the actions in that world didn't go well?]
"Just like you thought, the operation failed!" the World Will vocalized, and the recovering True Monarch heard it. Suppressing his injuries, he replied, "Call Ten Thousand Beasts and Secret. We need to invade another world."
[Did it really fail?] The World Will found it hard to believe; the True Monarch's incarnation in that world should not have been much weaker than his main body, yet it still failed?
"Really, there's something off about the strongest person in that world. In just ten years, he has found methods to deal with the Ninth Realm, unless I went there personally, he cannot be dealt with." The True Monarch did not hide it, he had lost, and although arrogant, he knew how to accept a loss. Compared to this, there were more important matters now.
The World Will was shocked, understanding what this meant and why the True Monarch said they needed to switch to another world.
[I will notify immediately...]
Soon after, Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch and Secret True Monarch arrived.
"Greetings, True Monarch!"
"No need for formalities. I called you here to inform you of something. After leaving, immediately try to notify the people of World No. 1 to return on their own. If they can't return, do not bother about them. Also, stop the invasion of World No. 1, be prepared to invade World No. 2."
Both Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch and Secret True Monarch were somewhat shocked, wondering why they were suddenly giving up on World No. 1 after preparing for it so long.
But they quickly thought of something.
"True Monarch..."
"My incarnation fought with Wang Sheng and lost. World No. 1 is difficult to invade. Indecision leads to chaos, so let's prepare for World No. 2." The True Monarch still admitted it directly.
Although Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch and Secret True Monarch had their speculations, it was still hard to accept upon confirmation.
The True Monarch had actually lost!
This meant that Wang Sheng, who had been underestimated from the very beginning, not only had survived the initial assault from the True Monarch but also possessed the power of the Ninth Realm.
Indeed, World No. 1 could not be invaded anymore.
The True Monarch knew what they were likely thinking, but he did not care and said, "The portal to World No. 2 is more recent than to World No. 1, but it has always been under the control of the Destiny Dynasty; we must succeed this time!"
The two True Monarchs had not yet recovered from the shock, but they dared not disregard the True Monarch's words. They responded and immediately went to prepare.
The plan for World No. 2 could not fail again...
[You seem to be in quite a hurry?] Chaotic Realm's World Will sensed the True Monarch's urgency.
"Wang Sheng cannot be viewed with the usual outlook. If we do not hurry, I fear..." The True Monarch ultimately did not finish his sentence, but the World Will understood the implication.
Wang Sheng's rise was too rapid, and the longer time passed, the more disadvantageous it was for them...
