Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

“Yes, more than one. Three Pulse Masters took advantage of this opportunity to become True Monarchs. However, they are currently in seclusion to stabilize their new status and it will probably take them some time before they emerge,” Secret True Monarch appeared indifferent to worldly matters, but he was well-informed about everything.

“Three, huh… That’s decent. Finally, we’re back to having five True Monarchs since our losses were so substantial!”

“World No.1 has indeed come as a surprise, but it won’t take long before we strike back,” Secret True Monarch was acutely aware of which place Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch was talking about—it was the planet where they had nearly suffered a total wipeout of their True Monarchs.

“Strike back… that will probably depend on True Monarch Daojun. How much will he gain from this time?”

“How could I possibly know the affairs of the True Monarch Daojun? Even if he doesn’t undergo a qualitative change and step into the Tenth Realm, he will definitely progress, maybe even breaking free from his limitations.”

Daojun’s limitations were no secret among the True Monarchs of the Chaotic Realm.

“Is that so?” Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch was somewhat surprised.

If the issues with Daojun could be resolved, they would have more confidence in the upcoming clashes.

“I’ve heard some rumors…” Secret True Monarch did not elaborate further, but neither did he deny it.

Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch didn’t ask further.

The matters of a Dao Monarch, understanding the general picture was already the limit.

At this moment, within the palace that bore the trait of a Dao Monarch, a powerful aura converged.

[How is the progress?] The Will of the Chaotic Realm World appeared.

“It’s not bad, my strength has improved a bit. Indeed, the direction of world devouring is the correct one, but it’s a pity that the problem is not completely resolved. I still cannot totally free myself from the world’s entanglement.”

[Still can’t… Could it be that there’s no chance of liberation? As a Ninth Realm, you shouldn’t be confined to just one world!]

“Don’t worry, this is only temporary. My breakthrough to the Ninth Realm was a shortcut, so it’s not surprising there are consequences. Besides, this attempt wasn’t fruitless. Just two or three more worlds to devour, and then I can truly break free.”

[That’s very good. I have some good news. The world we just devoured has a cross-realm gateway leading to a new world. The only pity is that the gateway isn’t fully open yet, and as of now, it is only accessible by Seventh Realm.]

“No matter, that item can still be used several times. Just force it open directly.”

[The item left by that person really helped us a lot; otherwise, invading wouldn’t have been so simple. It’s a shame to waste one opportunity.]

“Waste? How could it be a waste? Once the cross-realm gateway is genuinely open, without restrictions, I will go personally!” Dao Monarch showed a cold smile, especially for that world, it cannot be overlooked.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t wait to devour more worlds to enhance his strength.

“I’ll go open the new cross-realm gateway first.”

Before long, Dao Monarch arrived in a desolate world.

This world was filled with black mist, desolate throughout, like the Void, devoid of any vitality.

This was a world after being devoured.

The so-called black mist was a sign of the death of the world and planets.

It meant that no resources would ever be born in this world—nothing but a space steeped in deathly stillness.

After being devoured by the Chaotic Realm, this space belonged to the Chaotic Realm, and Dao Monarch could come and go freely.

His gaze was indifferent, following the guidance of the World Will, he arrived before a gateway.

The gateway was similar to the ones on the Source Star, both were huge round gates twisted with chains.

Only now the gateway was half-open, waiting to be fully unlocked before the circular gate would disappear altogether.

Upon seeing the gate, Dao Monarch took out a black metallic cube.

Following that, he poured energy into the cube.

Boom!

The cube burst forth with a formidable energy, turning into a black long knife that slashed at the chains of the gateway.

Clang!

The sound of metal echoed; the chains didn’t break but showed a fine, unhealable crack.

In no time at all, the chains would be utterly shattered.

“Two years’ time!”

Dao Monarch stated a timeframe, and the World Will went back to have the Chaotic Realm’s forces prepare.
