You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 936 - 726: The Heaven’s Execution Scheme

...

As Zhang Yu disclosed the array map, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the top ten universities immediately sprang into action, spreading out to different node directions, aiming to pinpoint the formation center as quickly as possible.

Zhang Yu did not rush to act, instead waiting for his armor and remnants maintenance to be completed, and his stamina and mana to recover to peak condition. After replenishing a batch of magic treasures, he set off.

His Eye Remains flickered, and the entire map of Kunxu Fifth Layer appeared before him.

Among them, 360 dots kept moving; some dots were black, representing nodes yet to be found. Others were red, indicating nodes found but not the formation center.

He could also see the names of the various Nascent Soul True Monarchs moving within the map, the formation nodes they were heading to search, the sites of battles that erupted, and the possible locations of rival Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

"Close to me..."

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened: "Are the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch and Swallowing Heaven True Monarch currently battling at a formation node?"

Zhang Yu recalled that the Qingmu Divine Monarch had spoken of this Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch, who was one of the judges when he obtained his military certificate from the Civil Engineering World and had supported him at the time.

The next moment, Zhang Yu, clad in the Heaven-shattering Battle God Armor, soared into the sky like a black lightning, tearing through the firmament towards his target position.

...

With a loud bang.

The Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch shot out like a meteor, crashing through several mountain peaks, barely coming to a stop mid-air.

But before he could stabilize, a gigantic fist suddenly appeared above his head, hammering him down like a meteor falling to earth, causing tremors like an eight magnitude earthquake.

Boom!

Shaking off the debris and rocks on his body, the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch looked up to find the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch descending slowly from mid-air.

With an ugly expression, the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch said, "Who are you? How do you know so many of my school's martial arts?"

The Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch had certainly heard of the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch before him.

After all, his reputation in the Dark Spirit Realm was immense, boasting mastery over countless techniques, allegedly expert in every discipline from the top ten universities, said to owe fines for infringements substantial enough to purchase half a layer of Kunxu.

Such fame even spilled over from the Dark Spirit Realm, passed on by word of mouth among many demon descendants in the Spirit Realm.

But the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch had never believed these tales.

In his view, no matter how talented or fast a cultivator advanced, it seemed impossible to master techniques from all schools and disciplines.

He assumed it was mere propaganda from the Righteous Alliance.

Until he faced this Swallowing Heaven True Monarch who easily deployed more than a dozen military-level martial arts from Sky Demon University, leaving him utterly defenseless and deeply shaken. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Listening to the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch sneered, his pair of tusks shooting forth from a monkey's mouth with a hint of vile aura: "I am the direct disciple of the Great Saint, the new generation Demon Saint, you may call me the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch or the Devouring Heaven Great Saint."

The Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch shouted: "Still hiding your identity? If you've never attended Sky Demon University, how could you know so many of our school's martial arts?"

At this, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch snapped back with a cold humph, a whip-like crack sounded through the air as his tail swished.

Proudly, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch declared: "Are Sky Demon University's martial arts hard to learn? They're mere knockoffs of Great Sage Martial Arts; one look and I've mastered them."

With that, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch moved, descending like a rainbow across the sky, heading for the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch.

With a thunderous crash upon their collision, the mountain range spanning hundreds of miles trembled and heaved violently.

The Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch exclaimed: "Sumeru Mountain King Scripture? You even know this martial art?!"

The Sumeru Mountain King Scripture was the hallmark military-level technique of Sky Demon University's Civil Engineering Department.

The Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch certainly couldn't recall someone like this in the Civil Engineering World, yet the opponent displayed the Sumeru Mountain King Scripture with utter finesse, unleashing immense power with each punch or kick to suppress him while redirecting all received force into the emerging mountains, shattering them, yet remaining unharmed.

Bam!

Snatching up the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch bit down, tearing a large chunk of flesh from him.

The Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch roared in fury, struggling intensely, but the opponent's strength seemed limitless, holding him down firmly and soon biting off a second chunk of flesh.

In mere moments, the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch was a bloody, mutilated mess, a third of him consumed alive by the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch.

The Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch howled in agony: "You claim to be the Great Saint Inheritor, a Demon Saint, yet you feast on your kind?"

The Swallowing Heaven True Monarch, with tusks spearing through the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch's chest, growled lowly: "My kind?"

"Don't be mistaken, demon scum."

"In my eyes, indeed you rank above human scum, yet still classified as edible. Especially for those like you who choose to serve the ten universities, willingly acting as the Heavenly Court's lapdog."

"All demons owe their existence to the Great Saint. My devouring of you is merely your life's return to the Great Saint, a return to the source…"

With that, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch bit down again on the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch's chest, tearing away another large chunk.

As the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch neared death from being devoured, a figure shot towards them like black lightning.

Perceiving a threat, the Swallowing Heaven Great Saint's fur bristled abruptly as he lifted his bloodied face, glaring with beastly eyes at the incoming figure.

Snap!

The figure clasped their hands, darkness instantly engulfing everything, dragging the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch into an endless night.

At the same time, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch felt a lightness in his grasp, realizing the mangled body of the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch he held had vanished without a trace.

"Zhu Yi!"

With a furious shout, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch in the utter darkness instinctively punched fiercely to his right side.

Bam!

When daylight returned, it revealed the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch's massive fist colliding forcefully with Zhang Yu's palm. A terrifying shockwave erupted from their clash, lifting tremendous winds, scattering the shattered mountains, forming a sandstorm-like scene.

With tusks protruding, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch looked at Zhang Yu, who caught his punch with one hand and rescued the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch with the other.

As their powers clashed, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch sneered: "You want a bite, too? Just say so, but you can't snatch."

Zhang Yu coldly replied: "I am human, not a beast that eats everything it sees."

The Swallowing Heaven True Monarch's eyes flashed with anger: "Courting death!"

With that, he launched another fierce punch at Zhang Yu.

With the support of the Platinum Emperor's 333 Magic Remains and Heaven-shattering Battle God Armor, along with his Physical Body Divine Power, Zhang Yu firmly blocked the second punch, but was pushed a step back.

Yet the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch showed no signs of slowing, deploying fists, palms, legs, fingers... even whipping his tail like a steel whip or long staff, unleashing a storm of military-level martial arts to engulf Zhang Yu completely.

"This demon monkey…" Zhang Yu sensed that in hand-to-hand combat, he was no match for the opponent, who not only suppressed him with every move but surpassed him in raw physical power despite his own reinforcements of Magic Remains and Magic Treasures.

"No need to compete in close combat with him…"

Casually, Zhang Yu tossed the Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch out of the battlefield, then activated the Kunlun in his palm.

As space distorted, the ferocious Swallowing Heaven True Monarch turned into a monkey the size of an egg, held aloft in Zhang Yu's palm.

Then Zhang Yu's gaze narrowed sharply.

In his palm, the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch clenched both hands, unleashing an Earth Evil Gravity powerful enough to shake the heavens.

"Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power?" Zhang Yu looked at the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch in surprise, not expecting him to have mastered even this military-level martial art.

Simultaneously, as Zhang Yu held the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch aloft.

The ground quaked, and countless rocks, driven by the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power and Sumeru Mountain King Scripture, transformed into a towering stone monkey with a city-sized palm gently cradling Zhang Yu.

The stone monkey's jaws gaped wide, shaking the sky with the Swallowing Heaven True Monarch's chilling laugh: "Now, who's holding whom?"
