Chapter 1008

The heaven and earth anomaly triggered by the newly promoted Imperial Monarch lasted only ten breaths before ending, but the vibration it triggered was still fermenting.

There was a newly promoted Imperial Monarch, but no one knew who it was!

Within the Tongxuan War Zone, Zijitian and Imperial Monarch Futu sent star-light transmissions to inquire of all Imperial Monarchs, but none of them knew.

This result was not very good; under these circumstances, the newly promoted Imperial Monarch was highly likely to be on the alien side.

Because normally, those who naturally attain enlightenment and promote to Imperial Monarch were very few, and one might not appear in several hundred years.

To want to become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch, besides one's own accumulation, without an Imperial Monarch as a master to give pointers and guidance, or even personally taking action to assist enlightenment, it was basically impossible.

Of course, it was just not very good, making them feel unhappy.

Adding a Small Forbidden Imperial Monarch, although the alien main force was strengthened, it couldn't change the overall situation.

After the surprise, it just added some talking points.

At the same time, within the Red Dragon Ancient Holy City, the Red Dragon clan's Holy Ancestor Elder Chi Yi, who sensed the same fluctuation, was also depressed.

The disappearance of the Space Imperial Monarch Yinzheng, plus the death of his direct bloodline, True Person Chize, had made him unhappy for a long time.

Especially Imperial Monarch Emperor Luan Lan being taken away by Kongyuan made him feel even more stifled.

Fortunately, the human Imperial Monarch Yukun of the Tongxuan War Zone had also died in battle, and even more wonderfully, the original Grand Marshal of the Tongxuan War Zone, Imperial Monarch Kongyuan, had rebelled and been slain.

This had made Holy Ancestor Elder Chi Yi happy for a long time.

Only his enemies knew how terrifying Kongyuan was.

A Great Forbidden peak Space Imperial Monarch could sneak into his territory without anyone knowing, and capture and kill Imperial Monarchs like Emperor Luan Lan as easily as catching a chicken.

Now, he had actually been killed by his own people.

However, battle reports had been coming in frequently during this period; overall, the win rate of star surges appearing on various star islands had already exceeded sixty percent, approaching sixty-five percent, which made him very happy.

At this very moment, someone suddenly promoted to Imperial Monarch, but it wasn't one of their Holy clan.

By comparison, it was even harder for those who naturally attained enlightenment and promoted to Imperial Monarch to appear within their Holy clan.

Many times, it required the bloodline guidance of the top Imperial Monarchs of various clans.

He had just asked various Imperial Monarchs, and it wasn't one of their Holy clan, so it must be the humans'.

A Small Forbidden Imperial Monarch had no influence on the overall situation, but it could influence the local battle situation.

To be cautious, Holy Ancestor Elder Chi Yi still notified all parties.

Changxing Star Island.

A host of True Persons were slightly agitated, because just a moment ago, a majestic Imperial Monarch aura appeared above Changxing Star Island, which made the host of True Persons on the gloomy Changxing Star Island overjoyed.

They thought that an Imperial Monarch powerhouse had arrived to support them.

But this Imperial Monarch powerhouse's aura lasted only a dozen breaths before disappearing, and no Imperial Monarch descended on Changxing Star Island.

The host of True Persons were curious and also somewhat disappointed!

But inside the Garrison Commander True Person's Mansion, it was a completely different scene.

Seeing Guan Laohei, who had just finished breaking through, looked at Xu Jin with incomparable excitement.

Both grateful and excited!

It was done.

He had really done it!

But the most excited ones were Nian Qinggui and Lin Bowei!

Assisting others to become Enlightened Imperial Monarchs had always been the patent of veteran Imperial Monarch powerhouses.

Why did Emperor Dongxuan have such great influence? Because the veteran Imperial Monarchs under his command were all enlightened with his personal help.

It could be said that to step onto the Imperial Monarch Great Dao, one had to become a personal disciple of Emperor Dongxuan, or a personal disciple of some Great Forbidden or Mid Forbidden Imperial Monarch, to have the possibility of achieving the Imperial Monarch path.

But now, under Xu Jin, Seeing Guan Laohei had stepped onto the Imperial Monarch Great Dao alive and well in a very short time.

The key was that the time was very short.

Then this...

Hope!

What they were pleasantly surprised by was not the current result.

But the hope that might be possible in the future!

For Xu Jin, Seeing Guan Laohei promoting to Imperial Monarch was a way for him to open up the situation; although Seeing Guan Laohei had just broken through and his strength among Imperial Monarchs was still very weak, as long as he was an Imperial Monarch powerhouse, there was nothing to fear!

Besides, Seeing Guan Laohei broke the limit to Twelve Tribulations to break through, so he wasn't the weakest among newly promoted Imperial Monarchs.

Moreover, Seeing Guan Laohei currently held Changxing Star Island; on Changxing Star Island, he wouldn't be afraid even if a Mid Forbidden Imperial Monarch came.

If Xu Jin were added, it would be different.

However, the price of assisting a limit-breaking True Person to become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch was much greater than Xu Jin had imagined.

The first two types of assistance, such as Imperial Monarch enlightenment notes, experiencing and countering Forbidden Domain Source Flow power, were all conventional means used by other Imperial Monarch powerhouses.

However, the amount Xu Jin gave was several times that of other Imperial Monarchs.

The real key was the Forbidden Domain Source Flow branch given during the three attempts to break through.

Three times meant three strands.

That was a price other Imperial Monarchs couldn't afford.

If Imperial Monarch Fenghua used it, his cultivation base would fall directly from the peak of the Mid Forbidden to the early stage of the Mid Forbidden Imperial Monarch.

No Imperial Monarch would cultivate disciples like this.

This was the key point.

Looking at it this way, the Forbidden Domain Source Flow power that could be collected into the Star River Practice Arena was still quite precious.

Of course, Seeing Guan Laohei being able to break through also benefited from his accumulation over the past hundred-plus years being sufficient.

For example, Nian Qinggui—if Xu Jin wanted to make him an Imperial Monarch quickly, he couldn't; his accumulation wasn't enough, and his divine infant needed at least one transformation, which he was still far from.

Similarly, Zhu Linxiao was the same.

"Great Sage, what next? Should I publicly announce that I have promoted to Imperial Monarch? Or should I continue to hide it?" Seeing Guan Laohei, who had become an Imperial Monarch after breaking through, had no change in his attitude toward Xu Jin.

"Hide it for a few days first, hide it until the next star surge," Xu Jin said.

"Great Sage, you mean for me to reappear during the star surge, but I'm afraid I'm no match for that fellow Luanmu; the first time I appear, although that fellow Luanmu wouldn't dare to kill me, he would definitely try every means to seriously injure me; after all, he is a Mid Forbidden Imperial Monarch," Seeing Guan Laohei said.

Xu Jin did not rush to answer Seeing Guan Laohei, but asked, "Old Hei, Old Nian, do you want revenge? Do you want to avenge Old Cao?"

"Want, I want it in my dreams!" Nian Qinggui glared instantly, and Seeing Guan Laohei clenched his fists tightly, "Definitely! Now that I have become an Enlightened Imperial Monarch, I have the power to resist; after I cultivate bitterly for a period of time, once there is an opportunity, I will set a trap to hack that fellow Luanmu to death.

Not only to avenge Old Cao, but also to vent our own anger, and to avenge the five True Persons and dozens of Star Governing Monarch brothers who died miserably because of him!"

"Old Hei, do you trust me?" Xu Jin asked.

"That's absolute!"

"Good, then you stabilize your cultivation base; during the next star surge, I will take you to get revenge!" Xu Jin said.

"Great Sage, you mean to slay Imperial Monarch Luanmu?"

"In the name of revenge, it's justified!" Xu Jin said.

Seeing Guan Laohei looked at Xu Jin and nodded, "Good, then I will continue to consolidate my cultivation base; when the time comes, I will listen to your arrangements!"

Nian Qinggui on the side also nodded fiercely.

Their trust in Xu Jin now, to a certain extent, was already somewhat blind.
