Monarch Of Time

Chapter 252 - 252 Breaking through to the fourth stage

As he stared at the 10.000 warriors who were kneeling on one knee, a single name had suddenly appeared in Shun Longʼs mind

ʼHeaven Trampling legion!ʼ

However, this scene in front of him only lasted for a single moment, before Shun Long felt a sharp pain piercing his mind.

The golden-armored warriors, Shun Longʼs black spear, and the hundred meters tall Little Black all shattered in front of his eyes, as they disappeared in an instant.

Shun Long could feel his vision turning dark, before he found himself back inside the foggy space in the ʼStone of Timeʼ.

However, Shun Long didnʼt have any time to ponder over the scene he had just witnessed, as he suddenly felt his mind entering a special state.

Under Little Blackʼs shocked eyes, Shun Longʼs body that had turned into a pool of blood, and hadnʼt healed once in the last 7 days, was now being reformed at an incredible speed.

Shun Longʼs blood, his meridians, his internal organs, his bones, and finally, his skin were once again recreated, but this time, something was different.

Little Black could clearly feel, that Shun Longʼs blood was much more powerful than before, his meridians were thicker than the last time, while his bones were now emitting a bright light.

It took less than 10 breaths of time, for Shun Longʼs body to be completely reformed.

Although Shun Longʼs appearance was the same as before, Little Black could feel that something had changed.

After closing his eyes, the black dragon finally understood what it was.

It was a form of natural aura that was coming from Shun Longʼs body.

At the same time, as his body was reformed, Shun Long closed his eyes before he sat cross-legged on the ground.

He could feel that the space around him was different this time.

It felt as if an invisible fabric was hugging his body, and that if he stretched his hand outwards, he would be able to touch it.

Shun Long had unknowingly entered a state of enlightenment, and he could sense the Dao of Space around him, even more clearly than before.

Although his body had already been reformed with the ʼinternal reconstruction pillʼ, without comprehending the Dao of Space even further, it was impossible to enter the fourth stage of the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ.

With his eyes closed, Shun Long raised his right hand in front of him as he mumbled to himself

ʼʼSpace... isnʼt something truly ethereal. If I close my eyes, I can feel it around me.

If I stretch my hand, I can even touch it.

....If I slash at it, I can tear it apart!ʼʼ

Little Blackʼs eyes widened when he sensed the violent space ripples around Shun Longʼs body.

Multiple space tears had appeared around Shun Long, as they constantly distorted the space around him.

And yet, Shun Long simply sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he hadnʼt noticed anything.

With every passing moment, Shun Longʼs comprehension of the Dao of Space deepened even further.

More than a month passed like this, before the space tears around Shun Long finally started to disappear one by one.

And yet, the energy inside his body was now rising without showing any signs of stopping.

Shun Long could feel that the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ was circulating inside him, as it absorbed the potent energy from the top-grade rank 4 ʼinternal reconstruction pillʼ, pushing the energy of his body to the limits.

A few moments later, Shun Long had reached the absolute peak of the third stage in body refinement, when his body suddenly exploded with a powerful burst of energy.

ʼʼFourth stage of body refinement!ʼʼ

Shun Long knew that he had finally entered the fourth stage of the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ.

And yet, the energy inside his body didnʼt seem to diminish in the slightest.

Instead, Shun Long could feel a burning pain in his internal organs, as the ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ continued to absorb the almost endless energy from the ʼinternal reconstruction pillʼ.

2 months had passed for Shun Long inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, but barely a week had gone by in the Heavenʼs Dome city.

During this time, Duan Zhuʼs recruitment had shaken the entire Heavenʼs Dome city.

More than 2000 late-stage Spirit realm cultivators had already gone to the east of the city, to the dark elf raceʼs palace, in order to register themselves to become disciples of the Demon Emperor palace.

The name of the Demon Emperor palace had now spread throughout the Night star continent like wildfire, and even more people were now heading towards the Heavenʼs Dome city from all over the continent.

Inside the majestic palace of the Shentian dynasty at the northern part of the city, aside from the 2 stunning dark elf women, Yi Huian and Yi Xiaosi, 2 representatives from every other peak power of the city, were now sitting inside a secret room, in front of a large table.

Even Zhao Lan and the other rank 3 gold grade alchemist from the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ were present, but they stayed completely silent, not even daring to raise their heads.

Sitting at the head of the table, Sheng Jun opened his eyes, and looking at the people around him, he said, in his sonorous, old voice

ʼʼYou all know why we have gathered here today so letʼs not waste any time. There is also no reason to blame Zhao Lan and Kang Daiyu either.

Since they were groomed by the Feng family, it was within expectations that they wouldnʼt dare to fight against the Demon Emperor palace.

What we need to do right now, is to find a way to stop the Demon Emperor palaceʼs recruitment.

More than 2000 late-stage Spirit realm cultivators from our Night star continent, have already gathered in the dark elf raceʼs palace during the past week in order to enter the Demon Emperor palace.ʼʼ

Surprisingly, the first person to speak was the middle-aged man from the ʼMercenariesʼ Association.

His eyes had been focused on the 2 alchemists of the ʼAlchemistsʼ Guildʼ, before he turned his attention to Sheng Jun.

Then, with a serious look on his face, he said

ʼʼOld man Sheng, I heard that Duan Zhu left the dark elf palace yesterday, and headed towards the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ by himself! Now that he has left the Heavenʼs Dome city, who can stop us from destroying the dark elf race?ʼʼ
