Chapter 1249: Achieving Sainthood Through the Physical Body (First update, requesting everything)

The higher the realm, the tougher the body, and the more enduring one becomes; this holds true for both Spirit Beasts and Monster Tamers.

If it is a battle between evenly matched Demon Emperor Level or Emperor Rank Spirit Beasts, because they possess powerful innate recovery abilities, the fight often drags on for a long time.

But for a Top-tier Double-Character King like the Disaster King, even if nine of his main Spirit Beasts were to die, his Consciousness Sea would still not collapse; if given enough time to recuperate, he could even fully recover.

This is related to the crystallization of the soul; as the quality of the soul improves, the pressure-bearing capacity of the Consciousness Sea increases accordingly.

The Disaster King had to mobilize all his Mental Power to struggle to suppress the backlash in his Consciousness Sea, but that did not mean he was unable to spare the focus to observe the situation.

"You win, this old man admits defeat." The Disaster King spoke with difficulty, though his eyes still held hope, and he continued: "This old man is willing to swear by the Heavenly Dao to never betray His Highness the All-King, I only hope Your Highness can give me a chance."

The Disaster King considered himself to still have great value; although only Nine Phoenix remained, ordinary Double-Character Kings were still no match for him, and if given a certain amount of time to contract a few wild Saint Grade Spirit Pets, he would still have a chance to contend with ordinary Top-tier Double-Character Kings.

There was no helping it; the Demon Emperor Level Nine Phoenix could contend with several ordinary Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts on its own, not to mention that the Disaster King still had his foundation.

Li Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, holding the Original Light in his right hand, and asked with feigned curiosity, "Disaster King, I am very curious about the inheritance of the Sun Monarch; can you tell me about it?"

"I can, in the ancient times... what are you doing... ah!"

The Disaster King agreed readily, subconsciously recalling the inheritance of the Sun Monarch, while also viciously wanting to add some traps at the critical points.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng did not give him the chance at all. While the Disaster King was lost in memory, he pressed the Original Light against his forehead. At the same time, the Blessing Necklace on his neck shot out a ray of brilliance, causing the power of the Original Light to greatly increase, forcibly absorbing the Disaster King's memory fragments.

The Disaster King only felt as if his brain were being forcibly torn apart, and he could not help but let out a painful scream, as if something were being pulled out.

The Disaster King wanted to calm his mind and circulate his Mental Power to resist, but the riot in his Consciousness Sea made him hesitate for a moment.

By the time the Disaster King made up his mind, the Original Light had already absorbed quite a few memory fragments, especially those regarding the inheritance of the Sun Monarch.

There was no helping it; the Disaster King was the one who had mobilized that part of his memory.

The next moment, the Disaster King had to mobilize his Mental Power to forcibly resist the Original Light's ability to absorb memories.

Even with the boost from the Blessing Necklace, the grade of the Original Light was ultimately limited, and under the Disaster King's all-out resistance, it could no longer continue to absorb his memory fragments.

As the price, the Disaster King's riotous Consciousness Sea completely erupted, causing him to bleed from his seven orifices, with fresh blood spraying from his mouth as if it were worthless.

The Disaster King raised his hand with difficulty, pointed at Li Zhangsheng, and said hatefully: "You... you are so ruthless!"

"Sorry, I really can't compare to you in that regard!"

Li Zhangsheng could not help but shrug; compared to the wicked Disaster King, he could describe himself as a white lotus.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng would not be naive enough to think he was a purely good person; otherwise, he would have been eaten clean by others long ago and would not be standing in his current position.

People are always influenced by reality; the environment can influence people and can also change them.

Li Zhangsheng had planned his future path and knew very clearly what he needed. He did not care about others' evaluations of him, nor would he be influenced by them; he would only walk his own path unswervingly.

Boom—

The Disaster King did not hold on for long; his Consciousness Sea finally collapsed completely, and his brain was directly pulverized. His entire body slumped limply to the ground, no longer showing any signs of life.

Chirp—

Not far away, the captured Nine Phoenix let out a piercing shriek. As a Life-Bound Demon Pet, it would suffer an extremely powerful backlash following the death of its master.

Unless there were miraculous pills, even a Divine Beast would face only death.

Li Zhangsheng ignored the dying Nine Phoenix and began to examine the memory fragments absorbed by the Original Light.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng revealed a satisfied smile.

Because the Disaster King had mobilized memories regarding the Sun Monarch, eight or nine out of ten parts of the Sun Monarch's inheritance had been absorbed.

The only pity was that the Disaster King's memories in other areas were sparse, which was a bit of a shame.

In Li Zhangsheng's view, the Disaster King was not much inferior to the ancient Sun Monarch.

The Three Powers are Heaven, Earth, and Man; the Three Lights are the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars.

Among them, the Three Lights are the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars. In a sense, the stars are countless, while the Sun and the Moon are both unique in nature. One can imagine the status of the Sun Monarch and the Lunar Monarch in the Star Palace.

Among them, the status of the Sun Monarch was vaguely above that of the Lunar Monarch, which could be described as being below one person and above ten thousand, second only to the Ziwei Emperor, who was the Star Emperor.

Although the Sun Monarch inheritance obtained was not complete, it was the majority. Crucially, much of it involved the Heaven and Earth Hegemony; after all, the Sun Monarch held great power.

Unfortunately, like the Lunar Monarch, the Sun Monarch did not last until the end of the Heaven and Earth Hegemony, so naturally, there were no memories regarding how to dissolve the Star Palace or even the Heavenly Court.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng still felt he had gained a great deal, especially in having a better understanding of the Heaven and Earth Hegemony.

The reason the Heavenly Emperor initiated the Heaven and Earth Hegemony was mainly related to the difficulty of surviving the next Five Decays of Heaven and Man. In order to survive the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, the Heavenly Emperor wanted to become the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, gather the fortune of the Fairy World, and attempt to see if he could break through to the next realm.

Even if he could not break through, it would be enough to further strengthen the Heavenly Emperor's power, enough to steadily survive the next Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

"The Heavenly Emperor's situation feels similar to the current Human Emperor. No wonder Wendi said the Human Emperor might restart the Heaven and Earth Hegemony."

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself. In the Sun Monarch's inheritance, there was naturally information about the Heavenly Emperor, the Star Emperor, the Xuan Emperor, and the Xuan Empress, including their personalities, Spirit Beasts, Strange Treasures, and so on.

Among them, the understanding of the Star Emperor was the deepest, while the other three were relatively one-sided.

As a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer, the Star Emperor could naturally be described as brilliant and talented. The famous "Zhou Tian Star Dou" and the accompanying Zhou Tian Star Forbidden Array were products of his research, and he eventually established the Heavenly Court together with the Heavenly Emperor.

The Sun Monarch's inheritance also contained various Forbidden Arrays, naturally including the Zhou Tian Star Forbidden Array and the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array, but the former was incomplete; clearly, the Star Emperor had held something back.

The only pity was that what the Sun Monarch primarily cultivated was not "Zhou Tian Star Dou", but a Top-tier Demon Taming Art called "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions". The grade of this Demon Taming Art was not much inferior to the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter". It focused on the physical body, and it was rumored that it was deduced from the super-grade Demon Taming Art "Pangu". As long as one cultivated to the ninth level, one could achieve sainthood through the physical body.
