537: Nine-headed Lion

Nine-headed Lion

That was a mountain laid in barren, there weren't any monsters that stayed there. The sky above was clear and bright, but not even the birds were willing to wing past that place, only a few patches of clouds.

Shi Buyi stood on the top of the mountain, he has his hands on his back and he has completely blended in with the heaven and earth around.

"My good disciple, have you really cultivated the True Spirit? I'm so overjoyed when I heard that and can't refrain myself to not see you. Thus, I have rushed over to meet you here."

Shi Buyi smiled gently, his eyes filled with enthusiasm as he said, "My good disciple, quick, cast your True Spirit and let me have a look."

Long Yue glanced around, he didn't cast the True Spirit as he told, instead, he asked, "Teacher, why are you here?"

Shi Buyi was puzzled for a second, he then laughed and said, "Why can I not be here?"

Long Yue answered placidly, "This is a barren land, there aren't any monsters in over a thousand mile radius around here. Teacher, for you to be here, I only feel something bad coming at me."

Shi Buyi smiled, "What sort of bad thing are you referring to?"

"That you will harm me, teacher.", Long Yue bowed with the Fang Blade on his back, he said, "I might be overthinking, but I just can't help it."

Shi Buyi laughed loudly, he assured, "Long Yue, you are indeed thinking too much. You are already a magnate now, I'm feeling happy and glad for you. How will I harm you?"

Long Yue nodded and said, "I might really be just overthinking. Teacher, if you want to look at my True Spirit, then please do."

His body swayed and a six-eyed celestial being rose behind him. It was ten thousand feet tall with six eyes and three foot, six bright moons emerged behind him and looked as though they were moons that fell from the sky.

Shi Buyi stared closely, he was overjoyed and praised, "It's really the True Spirit! Good disciple, now, cast your [Monster God Ming King Art]!"

Long Yue followed, his mortal body turned into the body of the combination of moon spirit and the Monster God Ming King. He has turned into a three-legged, six-eyed and eight-armed celestial being, bursting in immense power and aura.

Suddenly, the six eyes merged together and formed into a divine eye. Then, another pair of eyes appeared beside it, with the divine eye in the center shining bright in godly rays.

"Teacher, are you satisfied?", Long Yue smiled and asked.

Bright smile radiated across Shi Buyi's face, he clapped his hands and praised, "Satisfied, satisfied! You have grown strong enough, and it is time for me to reap my fruits now!"

"Teacher, you want my divine eye?", Long Yue asked abruptly.

Shock flashed past Shi Buyi's heart, a blurred expression climbed on his face and he asked, "You knew that I wanted your eyes?"

Long Yue smiled, he strode onto the mountain and said casually, "From the day I have acquired the [Monster God Ming King Art], I knew the plans you have for me already. Teacher's [Monster God Ming King Art] is flawed and you are missing of the Ming King divine eye's totem patterns, the most crucial part in the [Monster God Ming King Art]. Without it, your cultivation base will still grow as you cultivate, but the flaw in you will grow as well."

Shi Buyi was surprised, he watched as Long Yue walked closer to him while he asked, "So you knew about it already, then why are you still here to see me?"

Long Yue stood in front of Shi Buyi on the mountain, he said, "Teacher, I bet you don't know, but the battle between you and Feng Shang, I'm the one who told the old headmaster of your flaw. I'm the one that made your prowess impaired."

Shi Buyi's pupils shrunk small, he stared intently on Long Yue. Suddenly, faint figure of a nine-headed lion appeared behind him, all eighteen eyes were glaring at Long Yue.

"Only with you being gravely injured, can I have the chance to rise.", Long Yue said placidly still, "Teacher, you are still young, energy of life still repletes in your body. You have only spent tens of years to become the magnate and climbed to become the strongest in East Barren. But this flaw of divine eye has stalled you too much, if it wasn't the damage you suffered in the battle with the old headmaster, you are probably a half god already."

Shi Buyi exhaled deeply, as if he was breathing out the negative emotions from affecting his thoughts. Then, he said in a placid tone, "So it's you who told Feng Shang of my flaw, of the [Monster God Ming King Art]'s flaw. Who gave you such courage to do so?"

"I did.", a voice interrupted the conversation, Zhong Yue casually strode out from Long Yue's light wheels. He smiled warmly and greeted, "Zhong Yue greets the Monster Overlord Shi."

"Zhong Shan Clan member!", Shi Buyi's eyes turned cold as ice and his face was gloomy, he gave a cold hum and questioned, "Long Yue, you have fraternized with the humans and betrayed your own race? You traitor, you dare call yourself a monster?"

Zhong Yue still had the same smile on his face, he asked, "Teacher, why did you say that?"

"Teacher? Zhong Shan Clan member, you call me your teacher?", Shi Buyi's face changed drastically. Suddenly, heads grew out from his neck and many pairs of eyes stared back and forth between Zhong Yue and Long Yue. The nine heads said in unison, "You call me your teacher, could it be…"

"Long Yue is me, but I'm not Long Yue.", Zhong Yue raised his head up and glanced around, he said while smiling, "What a nice place, the four elders aren't with you, are they, teacher? You have really chose a good place to die."

Shi Buyi laughed out loud, his voice suddenly turned colder than ice as he said, "Zhong Shan Clan member, do you think you can kill me alone? Do you have the strength of Feng Shang? Even Feng Shang couldn't kill me, let alone you!"

"Which is why, I came as well.", another voice came from the sky. Shi Buyi looked up and saw a patch of cloud descending down from the sky. A young cultivator walked out from the clouds and appeared in his vision.

"Gu Hongzi!", Shi Buyi's face changed, he suddenly laughed and said, "You dare to show yourself again? Good, good, good!"

Gu Hongzi replied placidly, "Shi Buyi, the last time I was defeated and made it out alive. But this time, I will kill you."

Shi Buyi looked at Zhong Yue, Long Yue and Gu Hongzi, he suddenly laughed loudly and said, "You juniors know no fear and terror, even if the two of you have joined hands together, you can't defeat me either. Qingshan, come out!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoes resounded across the mountains. But Qiu Qingshan did not appear, nor were there any replies.

"Qingshan!", Shi Buyi shouted again, "Qiu Qingshan!"

But Qiu Qingshan never came out. Cold sweat dripped down Shi Buyi's forehead, he suddenly smirked and mumbled, "What a child, even you have betrayed me? I thought you were the most loyal disciple I have, I was just planning to have you replace me after I ascend into deityhood. Who knew you would be a traitor too!"

Zhong Yue glanced around and fixated his sight on Shi Buyi, he shook his head and said in compassion, "Teacher, you never treated you disciples well, and yet you asked for our fealty? Among your disciples, Lang Qingyun is a spy from the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, under your teachings, he even betrayed us to the side of the insect race. Your two female disciples fought among themselves and died together. As for me, you have planned and wanted my divine eye from the start. Qiu Qingshan will not come, for as you are dead, he will naturally be the next monster overlord. So why would he come?"

Gu Hongzi glared a pair of cold eyes, he said, "Even if he came, he will be on our side as well. Shi Buyi, you want to know why the monster race couldn't rise higher than before ever since you became the one leading us? Because you have been jealous of the talents, you never allowed them to grow strong enough and have killed them no matter if they wanted or even have the ability to threaten your position. Now, you are facing the consequence of what you did, no one is ever willing to stay on your side anymore. Do you regret your choices?"

Shi Buyi's face turned pallid, he smirked softly and the laughter gradually turned louded. Eventually, his laughter has shuddered the rocks and mountains.

"I am wrong? Bullshit!", all nine mouths shouted in anger, his voice trembled the sky, "I never did anything wrong! I am the rightful ruler of the monster race, I am the best choice to be your leader. If it wasn't the [Monster God Ming King Art] that has stalled me for so long, I am already a monster god now! What wrong do I have? You two little children who doesn't even know the depth of my prowess, you think you can stop me by just words, you can you can talk me out of this? You two are still too naive!"

Krong——

Shi Buyi has fully unleashed his aura and turned into a nine-headed lion-faced celestial being. In a single stomp, the mountain they stood on was crushed into pieces. While he laughed loudly and said, "You two brats, you underestimated me! I wasn't said to be an expert as strong as Feng Shang for no reason!"

Nine divine eyes emerged in the middle of his nine foreheads, the energy in the heaven and earth has been sucked toward his divine eyes!

"[Heaven and Earth Eight Extreme]!"

The nine-headed lions roared loudly and raised his eight arms up into the sky. And when his arms slammed down again, the Eight Extreme Weapons have appeared in his hands and formed into a slaughtering array as he struck at Zhong Yue, Long Yue and Gu Hongzi!

Krong!

Zhong Yue has cast out the Golden Feathery Peng Sword and went head on with Shi Buyi. A loud boom came crashing in their ears and Zhong Yue was pushed back continuously. Holes were created beneath his feet and his palm was ruptured in that strike!

What? How strong!

Zhong Yue was shocked, Shi Buyi's arcane energy was really strong and abundant. Even the Kun Peng magnate and dragon magnate didn't have such immense arcane energy like Shi Buyi!

The [Monster God Ming King Art] was a cultivation technique strong in the arcane energy in the first place. While Shi Buyi was an abnormal within the monster race, he has nine heads and was talented as well!

As soon as Zhong Yue was struck back, Gu Hongzi was also pushed back by the impact force. Whereas Long Yue has spurted out a mouth of blood and crashed to the ground. The three of them were struck hard by Shi Buyi in just one bout!

Among the three, Gu Honzi's Yuan Shen has fused with the monster god's spirit. His arcane energy was the strongest of them three but even he couldn't defeat Shi Buyi in terms of arcane energy. 

"The divine weapons!', Gu Hongzi shouted. He cast the serpent spear out and rained a barrage of attacks on Shi Buyi. While Long Yue cast out the Fang Blade into the air and held the venomous fangs in his hands as he struck at Shi Buyi.

Zhong Yue inhaled a deep breath of air, light wheels revolved on his back and the Yuan Shen secret realms were fully opened. Immediately, the energy in the heaven and earth billowed into his mortal body and Yuan Shen at a crazy rate. Zhong Yue crouched down a little and in a burst of strength, he lunged over at Shi Buyi.

"Nine Revolving Inner Core!"

The Tai Chi Force Field emerged and covered a land of thousand miles in distance, trapping Shi Buyi within and suppressed his cultivation base.

Altar appeared behind Zhong Yue and the figures of gods stood on top of it, they bowed down and worshipped at Shi Buyi!

Meanwhile, Gu Hongzi and Long Yue have circumnavigated around the nine-headed celestial being. Blood soaked their clothes, some belonged to Shi Buyi and some others were their own blood. Even with the Tai Chi Force Field suppressing the nine-headed celestial being, they still couldn't fully hold down Shi Buyi!

The [Worshipping of Gods] has struck over and Shi Buyi was nearly tossed off balance. He staggered for a split second and roared out loud immediately after. The Tai Chi Force Field was disrupted and heavily impaired to the brink of collapsing.2

Zhong Yue shuddered violently and blood trickled out of his mouth, he shouted, "The inner cores!"

Hu——

Gu Hongzi and Long Yue heaved a long breath together and cast out their Nine Revolving Inner Cores together. Three different inner core force field has slammed down and suppressed onto Shi Buyi!

Do you think they can win?
