Return Of The Monarch - Chapter 26 Tribulations

Smiling at the lemures, Feng Hui shook his head. Even now, the lemures could not discern that their hiding spot had been breached. With enough willpower, these monsters were worthless.

Walking toward their hiding spot, Feng Hui tuned his senses into the sounds of the environment.

“Beat. Beat. Beat.”

Feng Hui heard the increasing heartbeat of the lemures, and he laughed, “So fearful. Yet you dare to invade my world? Am I that easy to bully?”

Finally, the lemures realized that their hiding spot had been discovered. With fear, the lemures revealed their purple molten bodies. Feng Hui sneered at the sight, and he did not halt his steps.

With every stride, the fear of the lemures grew. Feng Hui narrowed his eyes, “I’m slightly curious, however.”

“Who was the man who summoned you?” Feng Hui reached the five lemures, and he casually inquired.

Seemingly, the lemures wanted to respond with confusion, but their souls restricted them. Likely, the monsters themselves did not know either. From the looks of it, these lemures could only communicate with him in his language after controlling the mind of a human.

Hearing no response, Feng Hui laughed, “I didn’t expect an answer anyway.”

Looking at the fearful eyes of the lemures, Feng Hui’s handsome face turned cold, “Don’t make such an expression. To dare intrude, unsurprisingly there are repercussions.”

Suddenly, Feng Hui felt a slight probing into his soul, and he heard the sounds of enticing calls. Hearing this, he snickered, and he allowed the lemures to probe into the depths of his heart.

“Sssh.” A while later, the eyes of the lemures turned hopeful, and their keen stare returned. Finally, the lemures seemingly discovered a weak spot, and they hastened to enter the depths of the black-robed man’s soul.

“Hong long long~” In front of the lemures’ route, there was an endless vortex in the center of the black-robed man’s soul. Standing before the infinite darkness, all lifeforms would subconsciously feel insignificant. With some slight hesitation, the lemures gently brushed the edge of the vast shadowy vortex.
for visiting.

In a flash, the lemures felt an incomparable sharp pain in their souls, and the immense emotion invading their hearts was far greater than even their life in that torturous hell. Hiding within the depths of the black-robed man, there was a hidden demonsomething incomparably malicious.

Feng Hui sneered. How could these lemures comprehend the longing he had experienced in the Dragon Continent? The unending number of tribulations he had to undergo before reaching his current strength? The sensations had swallowed him whole numerous times. Along the way, the depths of his soul could send a mere monster into a deep slumber from shock forever.

“Hmph.” Feng Hui watched the five lemures collapse into their molten bodies. Abruptly, these lemures had drifted into a deep sleep: one that would last forever. Closing his eyes, he swiped his hand, and the lemures were sliced in half.

Allowing the vital Qi of the lemures to nourish his body, Feng Hui began to feel a qualitative change occurring in his body. He felt brimming with power, and he sat cross-legged to absorb the residues.

Time passed. Eventually, Feng Hui opened his eyes, and he glanced at his glowing bronzy skin. The black-robed man retained the whiteness of his skin; however, there was now a beautiful bronzy glow. Reaching the Bronze Dragon realm, his body alone was impenetrable to normal attacks.

Feng Hui could allow a normal human to slice at him with a steel sword all day and he would feel nothing. With the hardened skin, his flesh also became tough, and he was built like a fortress. Retaining his slim figure, his figure now radiated extreme explosive power.

“” With a smile, Feng Hui clenched his fists. Likely, he would be able to achieve his revenge soon. If he kept up with this frightening cultivation speed, the spellcaster’s end would be near.

Feng Hui distinguished that once he reached the third level of the Ancient Dragon Manual, he would be able to straightforwardly influence the laws of Earth without his body falling apart. Furthermore, the laws of Earth were far less complicated than compared to the superior world that the vast Dragon Continent resided in. However, it was still early days. He had just reached the Bronze Dragon realm, after all.

The third level of the Ancient Dragon Manual was the Crystal Dragon realm; however, it wasn’t so simple. Reaching the Crystal Dragon realm, one would have to undergo tens of stages and tribulations before evolving to the next realm. Each minor stage would encompass a brand-new set of laws and understanding, and to advance would be incredibly difficult. Fortunately, Feng Hui understood the laws.

In the spirit of cultivation, the Crystal Dragon realm was equivalent to the renowned Nascent Soul stage in the Dragon Continent. Regarding peak cultivation techniques, the realms somewhat differed compared to the rest. However, the essence of cultivation remained the same! For example, the Flood Dragon realm encompassed both the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage. In both manuals, the notion was to purify and strengthen the body and soul to obtain a spiritual sense and cultivation soul.

Currently, Feng Hui was at the Bronze Dragon realm which was the ‘Core Formation’ equivalent in the Dragon Continent. This realm focused on forming a core within his body. In the Dragon Continent, countless cultivators were stuck at the pseudo-stage forever! The concept of forming a core was too profound.

Luckily, Feng Hui was experienced in this regard. With his eyes closed, he could form a perfect core. All he needed to do was absorb the sufficient Qi required in order to build the core. The key difference was that the Ancient Dragon Manual focused more on the soul aspects compared to the other cultivation techniques which fixated more on the body.

To the side, Sun Yi was watching his friend with tranquility. In his eyes, such an abnormal transformation had become ‘normal’ when associated with the black-robed Feng Hui.

Looking around, Feng Hui noticed the rest of the monsters had been cleared out. Laughing, he chuckled, “Good work.”

Concentrating his senses, Feng Hui rapidly absorbed the vital Qi of the monsters that Sun Yi had killed.

The situation was beneficial without harm. Sun Yi would receive the points for killing the monsters, while Feng Hui could devour the vital Qi residing within the corpses. It was a win-win.

“It was nothing.” Sun Yi was amused, and he surveyed the vast stadium. Upon the swift glance, he could not discover a single monster nor human apart from themselves.

Suddenly, while Feng Hui was searching for their next destination, he heard a cold notification. In his mind, there was a message, “System has detected that player Feng Hui is inside the designated level-one domain. Due to the bonus prize, player Feng Hui has the option of whether to participate in the mission.”

[Party HuntIn a party of up to ten members, hunt down one-hundred monsters before dusk. If the mission is failed, the player’s soul will be wiped. Secret Prize Available]

[Mission: ‘Party Hunt’ Accept/Decline]

Feng Hui looked toward Sun Yi, and the both of them laughed.

“Decline.” Naturally, the two of them did not accept the mission. There was no reason to.

Furthermore, judging from their hunt, Feng Hui was skeptical if there were even more than a couple hundred monsters left in the entire domain. Throughout the night, the two of them had massacred every monster in sight.

However, elsewhere in the domain of the Xinlong Paradise, a certain group was willing to proceed with the mission. This was Liu Jun’s group!
