Return Of The Monarch - Chapter 33 Im Back
Shanghai, Starryfu.
Days continued to smoothly pass.
Now, Feng Hui was at the peak of the Crystal Dragon realm. Absorbing the sufficient Qi needed to advance was unbelievably simple. The fourth level of the Ancient Dragon Manual was the Golden Dragon realm. Thus, he was a step away from his body reaching his former realm!
In the Dragon Continent, the Golden Dragon realm was the equivalent of a legendary Transcendent. In the Eastern World’s entire lengthy history, there were only two people who achieved this stage!
Of course, one was the legendary Secret Legion master. The second was an old man named, ‘Zhou Lei,’ a Transcendent from thousands of years ago.
Regarding his progress, Feng Hui effortlessly completed the tens of heart trials and tribulations with unparalleled speed to reach the peak of the Crystal Dragon realm. Having reached the top in the past, he could decipher the lies and imposters of his heart demons; thus, he swiftly climbed the ranks.
Naturally, Feng Hui’s sole heart demon was his love for his family.
In the cold, Feng Hui stood outside a ten-story building. With some hesitation, he evenly walked inside with the red-haired Sun Yi.
Returning to his family’s familiar apartment, Feng Hui’s mood turned terrible. The sight was horrendous. Dried blood was scattered about everywhere. Looking inside the once cozy apartment, a wave of emotions crashed into his heart.
“My home” Feng Hui sighed, and he held back his stormy emotions. Fortunately, his little sister was safe, and his mother should be able to return to their side soon.
“Brother Hui” Clenching his fists, Sun Yi watched the downcast look in his friend’s eyes. In the time the two of them spent together, he wholeheartedly admired Feng Hui’s deposition. Alongside the amazing advice, his otherworldly friend changed his entire world outlook.
Walking inside, Feng Hui noticed his family’s portraits which were scattered about on the floor. With sadness, he picked up the broken rectangular frame, and he softly brushed the dust off the photo.
Inside the photo, there were two elementary school children. Joyfully embracing them was a beautiful thirty-year-old woman with long black hair. The bright sun of the photo sharply contrasted the overwhelming darkness lying within Feng Hui’s heart.
With trembling hands, Feng Hui hung the broken portrait back onto the tattered wooden wall.
Feng Hui continued to walk through his family’s apartment. Shortly later, he reached a familiar tattered dinner table. Shaking, he noticed the timber chairs his family had used for over a decade knocked over everywhere.
“Huff.”
Feng Hui breathed heavily while walking toward a knocked-over chair. Lowering his body, he kneeled down, and he silently lifted one of the four chairs. Returning his mom’s chair to its original position at the head, he tried to not break down.
“Mom please stay safe until I can help.” Feng Hui’s bit his thin lips so hard that hot blood started flowing. In his entire life, his love for his family was the sole thing driving him forward every day.
To fully understand Feng Hui’s overwhelming love for his family, one would have to return to his difficult childhood the unknown past of the legendary emperor of Long.
Now, there was just a single heart trial left before Feng Hui could return to his former glory at the Golden Dragon realm.
“Bam!” Out of the blue, a cold look emerged on Feng Hui’s face. Suddenly, he started tearing apart the entire apartment. In the blink of an eye, he demolished everything that laid within his family’s lifelong home. Leaving no portrait unharmed, he even destroyed all four timber chairs.
Looking to the side, Feng Hui saw the red-haired Sun Yi fade into nothingness.
Closing his eyes, Feng Hui muttered, “Break.”
Along with his single word, the beautiful scenery of his familiar home started fading away. Feng Hui coolly watched his surroundings disintegrate like the collapsing of a world. The end of his final heart demon.
Moments later, the scenery of a first-rate hotel room filled Feng Hui’s eyes. Looking around, there was a scientific-looking advanced television, top-branded amenities neatly piled on an oak-wood bench, and a gorgeous glass balcony.
Lying on the nearby king-sized double bed was the red-haired Sun Yi, Feng Hui serenely watched him snoring away like a bear hibernating in winter.
Standing up from the bed on the right-hand side, Feng Hui examined his body using his spiritual sense. Reaching the Golden Dragon realm blasted his thoughts back to the celebrated memories of living in the Long Kingdom.
Feng Hui contained the impact which reaching the Golden Dragon realm would have on the environment. With his full power, this was an effortless task. If he did not do this, the entire nation would be encompassed in a beautiful golden light.
for visiting.
Recalling the golden-robed man’s power, Feng Hui’s eyes narrowed. Truly, he had overestimated this worthless so-called ‘Immortal.’ Regarding the difference in power, it was merely the ability to traverse worlds and a few other minor tricks.
Feng Hui’s foundation was perfection itself; furthermore, his understanding of the laws was excellent. With a pure-gold core, there was no one who could compete with him at the same level.
In fact, Feng Hui’s talent overshadowed the Immortal with ease. The golden-robed Tian Changming was a half-step Immortal who lived for over ten-thousand years.
Compared to himself, Feng Hui was a brilliant twenty-five-year-old cultivator. The difference between their talent was akin to heaven and earth.
In reality, Feng Hui’s mental age was forty-three-years-old. However, he did not cultivate in his first life on Earth. Thus, his true cultivation age was a meager twenty-five years.
The moment Feng Hui ascended to the Immortal Dragon realm, this idiotic Tian Changming would be dead. Without hesitation, he would traverse to this so-called Immortal’s homeworld. In the Ancient Dragon Manual, the level beyond the transcendental Golden Dragon level was the Immortal Dragon realm!
However, Feng Hui would require a vast amount of time to reach the next level. In the Dragon Continent, becoming an Immortal has never been done before. Thus, he would have to unveil everything on his own.
Previously, Feng Hui’s cultivation speed was unbelievably fast due to his prior understanding and established Golden Dragon soul! The sole thing he had to do was to absorb the sufficient Qi for cultivation. However, now he was on an equal playing field while cultivating.
Regardless, Feng Hui’s comprehension was the best in the Dragon Continent, so his chance of advancing to become an Immortal was high. With nothing, he would still singlehandedly decipher the rules for breaking through!
Now, Feng Hui was unafraid of the Immortal. Chuckling, he laughed, “I should return to my little sister.”
The months before, Feng Hui had to leave his little sister behind so she could develop; furthermore, it was also to ensure her safety! What if that worthless Tian Changming wiped his family out while he was still weak?
Every day, Feng Hui was ensuring his little sister’s safety via his strand of vital Qi residing within her body.
However, Feng Hui was confident now. In this world of death, he could singlehandedly safeguard her life, so there was no need for his little sister to grow up anymore. Even if the half-step Immortal appeared before them, he would be disdainful of the golden-robed man.
Merely, Feng Hui at this time did not have the means to navigate to the Immortal’s world.
Peering to the large bed on the side, Feng Hui shook his head, “I’ll let Brother Sun sleep a while more.”

Morning, 10 am. Shanghai, Pudong District. A region nearly a hundred kilometers away from Starryfu.
Since the start of the apocalypse, over two months have passed.
In that time, innumerable lives have been lost. In an extremely short time, the human race was no longer the sole ruler of Earth.
This time around, Feng Mei was fighting a tall orc with her two friends. Within a two-story hotpot restaurant building, the three of them were teaming up on a lone male orc. There were scattered tables and dishes everywhere.
Running from a wooden table, Wang Fang shouted, “Watch out, Sister Mei!”
Hearing the hoarse voice of her senior, Feng Mei nodded, “Thanks!”
Dodging the orc’s cutlass, Feng Mei’s beautiful eyes had a stunning gleam. With quick steps, she circled around the orc. Using a steel dagger she picked up, she ruthlessly stabbed at the kneecaps of the tall orc.
“Argh!” The orc knelt down on one knee, and it murderously stared at the beautiful black-haired girl.
“Nice one, Sister Mei.” The busty Nian Zhen giggled, and she took the opportunity to stab the back of the orc’s neck. With her strength at the yellow level, she easily pierced through its neck.
Afterward, the three all had a blissful smile, and they high-fived one another.
While the three friends were happily discussing their next move, a sudden violent crackling in the air resounded.
The air fissured, and the atmosphere heavily distorted. Feng Mei watched this pitch-black portal rapidly forming in front of her with evident fear. To her side, the two high school students were also shaking.
Reaching the early Flood Dragon realm, Feng Mei’s explosive power easily reached over a thousand Jin in strength. However, she was still very scared. This was a frightening color she had never seen before.
In the last two months, Feng Mei solely focused on white-portal monsters. Barely did she fight the stronger monsters like the orcs unless it was needed. Whenever an orc appeared, the three of them would target it together.
“What is that” Nian Zhen fearfully whispered. The entire apocalypse, she had never seen such a portal filled with infinite darkness. Seemingly, a demon greater than hell itself was residing within.
“I don’t know.” Albeit terrified, Wang Fang still subconsciously stood in front of the two girls.
Silently, the pitch-black portal opened.
Emerging from the pitch-black portal was a tall figure. Feng Mei was initially fearful, but then that fear turned to shock! Walking out of the portal was a smiling black-robed man. Even though the man’s looks had changed many folds, she immediately knew it was himBig Brother!
Instantly, Feng Mei jumped into the broad arms of the black-robed man. Abruptly, her eyes started pouring with hot tears, and she buried her little face onto the sturdy chest of her amazing elder brother.
Carrying his little sister in his arms, Feng Hui happily rubbed her soft head. With a smile, he stated, “I’m back.”
Behind the black-robed man, Sun Yi was watching with a pool of tears in his ocean-like eyes.
