Chapter 82: Emperor, not Monarch
Monarch Mirrorevil was a loose cultivator who had appeared over a hundred thousand years ago. Contrary to his ordinary appearance and aura, he had the title of Junior Devil Immortal back in the days. The madness and terror he had wrought plagued all three continents to the point that all the orthodox and even demonic sects hunted him.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
Junior Immortal was a title given to those who displayed great talent and strength whilst mortal. However, when the word Devil was added before Immortal, the whole meaning changed. It represented the fear towards the demonic cultivators. Such a cultivator would invite rejection from everyone.
Monarch Mirrorevil did not make a name for himself until the destruction of the Begonia Tower. By that time, Begonia Tower had already lost its one and only Immortal Emperor.
In the History of the Huang Realm, Emperor Begonia was no doubt the fastest Immortal Emperor to die. Back when he was an Immortal Monarch, he had reigned for over a million years. Yet, within a hundred years of becoming an Immortal Emperor, he had perished. Some said he had grown overconfident and explored a danger zone out of his abilities, but more said this was the scheme of the three hegemonic sects.
Back then, the Cultivators’ Alliance was still a hegemonic power along with the Buzhou Immortal Sect and Eight Pillars Sect. In the whole history of the Huang Realm, no force had laid claim to the endless seas. But the appearance of Emperor Begonia changed all that. There was a high chance that he could develop his force into the hegemon of the endless seas. So the three hegemonic sects schemed and rid themselves of the thorn known as Emperor Begonia.
After he fell, Begonia Tower was exposed to the world, and many cultivators, including those of the orthodox sects, demonic sects, and loose cultivators came to compete for resources.
It was during that fight that Monarch Mirrorevil came to fame. He slaughtered orthodox, demonic, and loose cultivators without distinction. Rather than reaping resources as all the other cultivators came for, Monarch Mirrorevil’s goal appeared to reap as many lives as possible.
During the chaotic battle, the most shocking moment came when Monarch Mirrorevil as a Nascent Soul Grandmaster, slew a Unity Realm Venerable!
It was during this shocking moment that the Immortal Artifact Soul Pagoda had been taken away by a survivor of Begonia Tower, the current Monarch Soulfish. Using an unknown method, the then still Venerable Soulfish escaped from Immortals’ encirclement.
Both Monarch Mirrorevil and Monarch Soulfish had risen to fame from this one battle. Monarch Mirrorevil did so by slaying a Venerable as a Grandmaster, while Monarch Soulfish did so by escaping from Immortal Monarchs as a mere mortal.
From that point, while Monarch Soulfish seemed to have disappeared from the face of the Huang Realm until he transcended his Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation. In contrast, Monarch Mirrorevil seemed to have become possessed by Devils of yore and unleashed bloodbath upon bloodbath on all three continents. Ironically, the moment he ascended to the Immortal Realm, the previous bloody aura around him seemed to have disappeared. It wasn’t until he became an Immortal Monarch that he engraved his name into the Immortals’ minds once more.
It wasn’t like no one tried to kill him out of a sense of justice or revenge during this time, but no one succeeded. One reason was that after he became an immortal, he no longer carried out bloodbaths, and the second reason was that he was a soul cultivator!
Once he became an Immortal Realm soul cultivator, it was already destined that no force would take him on lightly. As a loose cultivator, he had no weakness they could grab hold of.
The Immortal Monarchs all stopped their movements, and some even retreated. Finally, one of them recognized the ordinary-looking Immortal Monarch.
“It’s Mirrorevil, the Devil Mirrorevil!”
At that Immortal Monarch’s shout, many of their eyes flashed in recognition. The number of Soul Monarchs could be counted on two hands, and each one was famous for being difficult to deal with.
But one Immortal Monarch charged forward. Who else could it be but Monarch Warpath? All six of his arms were feared back in preparation to unleash his attack.
Like with Monarch Allroot, a mirror image of Monarch Warpath appeared in front of Monarch Mirrorevil. When the hand pierced Monarch Warpath’s mirror image, Monarch Warpath continued his charge as if unaffected.
Monarch Mirrorevil’s attack did affect Monarch Warpath. But Monarch Warpath’s cultivation technique used his fleshly body to nurture his soul. As long as his fleshly body was uninjured, his body will nurture and heal his soul back to full strength no matter how damaged. As long as his soul was not extinguished in a single attack, Monarch Warpath could heal from it.
“Give it up! Soul cultivators are the ones I’m least afraid of fighting! Monarch Swordspirit. was defeated by me!” At Monarch Warpath’s cry, many Immortal Monarchs were enlightened of his victory over Monarch Swordspirit.
Monarch Swordspirit was both a soul cultivator and a sword cultivator. Among the Soul Cultivators, he could be considered the one with the greatest attack power.
Monarch Mirrorevil sighed as he glanced at Monarch Warpath. His body dissolved into a thousand mirror-like shards that converted into streams of light. Those streams of light converged a fair distance away.
Monarch Warpath snorted as he charged once more. Monarch Mirrorevil’s hand reached towards him, but Monarch Warpath ignored it and counterattacked. His six fists all landed on Monarch Mirrorevil’s body.
In response, Monarch Mirrorevil’s body turned mirror-like, and each part of his body reflected Monarch Warpath’s attacks. Not just in image but in effect too as Monarch Warpath’s punches were countered by an equal force each time.
At the same time, when Monarch Mirrorevil’s hand reached Monarch Warpath, nausea assaulted the martial Monarch.
A chill ran up Monarch Warpath’s spine as he tried to retreat. But it was as if his mind had split into two. One wanted to withdraw while the other wanted to continue to attack, causing his body to clash against itself.
In the next instant, one of Monarch Warpath’s split mind vanished. No, it was extinguished.
As Monarch Warpath stared with open eyes in disbelief at Monarch Mirrorevil, his body fell to the ground.
“It’s true. Your methods are almost invulnerable against Soul Monarchs. But unfortunately for you, I’m an Immortal Emperor, not Monarch.”
