348: Nightmare Monarch!

Evil Infant Realm.

Chu Yun, Gu Jiujun, and Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi were all waiting quietly in the Evil Infant Realm.

The three of them unanimously guessed and believed that at least one Dark Monarch would come here.

And the facts were indeed as they had expected.

After only one day, the three of them in the Evil Infant Realm sensed an extremely vast Immortal Martial aura!

"They're here."

Chu Yun and the other two sat in the courtyard, and the former spoke.

The next moment, their figures instantly vanished from this Secret Realm.

… … … …

Outside the Evil Infant Realm.

Above a black Nightmare Cloud, the Nightmare Monarch's figure appeared, deliberately releasing his aura without any concealment.

He deliberately spread his Immortal Martial might to let the two Immortal Martial in the Evil Infant Realm sense him and come to find him.

At this moment, the space directly in front of him flickered.

The figures of Chu Yun, Gu Jiujun, and Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi all appeared in the sky before him.

The Nightmare Monarch's gaze swept over the three of them, finally ignoring Chu Yun and focusing mainly on Gu Jiujun and Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi.

He recognized at a glance that these two were the two Immortal Martial auras he and his eldest sister had sensed in the Dark Abyss.

One Immortal Martial Realm Middle Stage, one Immortal Martial Realm Great Perfection.

As for Chu Yun, this Limitless, he was naturally ignored by him.

After all, in his opinion, in the confrontation and dialogue of the Immortal Martial Realm, the Limitless Realm did not even have the qualification to interject.

"Immortal Martial Realm Peak."

"It seems, Your Excellency, you are most likely the Nightmare Monarch among the Four Great Monarchs, aren't you?"

Gu Jiujun, sensing that the Nightmare Monarch's aura was stronger than his own, immediately concluded that his Realm was definitely stronger than his own.

And since he was not female, then only the second-ranked Nightmare Monarch fit the description.

"Your Excellency, may I ask who you are from the Evil Infant Realm?" After the Nightmare Monarch admitted his identity, he then asked about Gu Jiujun's origin.

"Disciple of the Evil Infant Ancestor, Gu Jiujun."

Hearing this, the Nightmare Monarch recalled slightly, gaining some impression, "So it's you."

"What about you?"

"Soul Clan… could it be the Ancestor of Ancient Soul Nest?"

The Nightmare Monarch then looked at Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi, identifying his identity based solely on his race.

Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi replied calmly and composedly, "Compared to Your Excellency, there is still a considerable gap."

The Nightmare Monarch smiled; what this person said was indeed true.

The gap between Immortal Martial Realm Middle Stage and Immortal Martial Realm Peak was indeed not small.

"Two sirs, I wonder if you are willing to be friends of my Dark Race, or enemies?"

After clarifying the identities of these two people, the Nightmare Monarch did not hesitate much and directly stated his intentions.

He presented a choice to these two; if they did not choose, the Nightmare Monarch would take action and give them some lessons.

Listening to his words, Chu Yun's expression remained unchanged throughout, extremely indifferent.

Gu Jiujun and Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi exchanged a smile, feeling no great burden, their faces relaxed and casual.

The former directly stated, "As one of the four power holders of the Dark Race, it is understandable that the Monarch considers his race and eliminates all unexpected factors."

"However, if becoming friends of the Dark Race means we have to watch you assimilate all living beings in the Yuan Realm into the Dark Race..."

"If that's the case, then we cannot do it."

"We can only be enemies."

The Nightmare Monarch listened to Gu Jiujun's words, his expression unchanged, but his eyes became colder and sharper as he looked at them: "To be enemies with my clan, can your Evil Infant Realm and your Ancient Soul Nest bear the consequences?"

The Nightmare Monarch's words were both a warning and a naked threat!

"Hahahahaha."

"That's not for the Monarch to worry about."

"At least today, the Evil Infant Realm and Ancient Soul Nest will be fine." Gu Jiujun said with a calm smile.

"Oh?"

"You're that confident?"

The Nightmare Monarch, on the contrary, now looked at him with a slightly subtle expression.

"If you don't believe me, you can try." Gu Jiujun responded directly and assertively.

"Good."

"Then let me try and see where Your Excellency gets your confidence."

The Nightmare Monarch was not long-winded; with his Immortal Martial Realm Peak cultivation, how could he fear Gu Jiujun and Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi?

His immortal power instantly condensed in his palm, forming a layer of Nightmare Immortal Cloud, emitting mind-disturbing Nightmare Immortal Power. For those with weaker cultivation, even merely staring at that layer of Nightmare Immortal Cloud would cause their consciousness to fall into an endless abyss, their Soul sinking within it.

Watching this probing attack casually unleashed by the Nightmare Monarch, Soul Ancestor Hun Zhaoyi, however, felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

But this move did not require him to take it.

Gu Jiujun advanced fearlessly, his palms unleashing Evil Infant Qi, which transformed into countless Evil Infant shadows, forming a meteorite. It seemed to be filled with ghosts and monsters, and the Evil Infant Immortal might was extremely vast.

He launched this Evil Infant meteorite, directly colliding with the layer of Nightmare Immortal Cloud released by the Nightmare Monarch.

Rumble!!

The two immortal Dao powers exploded, and the surging waves directly pushed back Gu Jiujun, who was at the very front. As for the Nightmare Monarch, he was unaffected, his figure standing calmly and composedly in place.

The comparison of their strengths immediately revealed who was superior.

At this point, the lingering ripples should have spread to the Evil Infant Realm, enough to tear the entire Evil Infant Realm to pieces.

At the crucial moment, Chu Yun made his move.

He unleashed a spatial-temporal Immortal power imprint, covering the Evil Infant Realm, protecting the entire Evil Infant Realm from disaster.

"Hmm?"

"Immortal power?"

"How is that possible?!"

"How can a mere Limitless Realm possess Immortal power?"

"Where does your body get the Immortal power supply?"

The Nightmare Monarch, who had already repelled Gu Jiujun, had a very calm expression and no longer paid them any mind.

But Chu Yun's sudden action, blocking the aftermath of their fight and saving the Evil Infant Realm, revealed Immortal power, which astonished the Nightmare Monarch and also left him deeply confused.

At this moment, his gaze finally focused on Chu Yun, his eyes showing a more serious expression.

"Alas."

"Indeed, there is still a gap in strength."

"The second-ranked figure of the Dark Race, his strength truly lives up to his reputation."

"But unfortunately, the protagonist you are to face today is not the two of us."

"Let me introduce you, this is the Seventh Mister of Thatched Cottage, and also the current Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Realm Master of the Evil Infant Realm, Chu Yun."

Seeing that his own strength was half a step weaker than the Nightmare Monarch, Gu Jiujun shook his head, then introduced Chu Yun to the Nightmare Monarch.

"Seventh Mister of Thatched Cottage?"

"Chu Yun… … … …"

The Nightmare Monarch was now recalling this name in his mind; Chu Yun's name was still quite well-known in the current Divine Continent Pure Land.

Including the Four Great Monarchs, they had heard bits and pieces before.

But he mostly relied on his connection with Thatched Cottage to resolve issues, plus his own cultivation was not strong, so none of the Four Great Monarchs of the Dark Race could be said to take him seriously.

What the Nightmare Monarch never expected was that the appearance of this Chu Yun today would actually make him look at him with new eyes, even feeling shocked.

His eyesight allowed him to confirm that Chu Yun's cultivation was indeed Limitless Realm Ninth Heaven, and had not reached the Immortal Martial level.

Yet, he actually had Immortal power within his body, which was truly baffling.

Chu Yun now met the Nightmare Monarch's gaze, his expression composed and subtly saying, "You've tested Gu Jiujun's strength, so would you like an opportunity to test my strength?"

"How about a single move?"
