Monarch in Harmony with the World’s move seemed simple to the naked eye, but it was anything but. As he executed it, his sleeves danced in the air, possessing the force of Falling Stars and the soaring of clouds over the Cang Sea. In an instant, a hundred different visions were hidden within it. Anyone who witnessed this move felt it was the power of an invincible being.
"That move of yours is what they call ’all show and no go,’ right?" Lv Mingyue believed that with her master’s display, Wu Tian could hardly be considered an opponent. But Wu Tian merely scoffed with a contemptuous smile, then pointed his finger forward. Spiritual Power enveloped his fingertip.
The next moment, this seemingly ordinary finger collided with the supposedly invincible move.
BOOM!
An explosive sound erupted through the space.
Lv Mingyue was dumbfounded. She watched as Monarch in Harmony with the World was thrown back once again, his face filled with disbelief. At this moment, the shock in his heart was beyond measure.
How could this be? Monarch in Harmony with the World truly couldn’t understand. I’m so powerful! How could I be defeated in a single move?
He wanted to ask Wu Tian why, but he was powerless. His head was dizzy and heavy, and in the next moment, he fainted.
Wu Tian looked at Lv Mingyue and said, "Take him and get lost. Bother me again, and I’ll kill you!"
Lv Mingyue found she could move again and hurriedly left with Monarch in Harmony with the World.
They hadn’t reached the Daoist temple when, halfway there, Monarch in Harmony with the World woke up. His first reaction was a daze, and he muttered foolishly to himself, "Why? I, a Saint? Above all other cultivators... why did I lose in a single move?"
Lv Mingyue also didn’t understand. Wu Tian and her master had made their moves, and she had seen them clearly. It was obvious that her master’s technique was powerful, as spectacular as a cosmic explosion. Wu Tian’s move, however, was plain and unremarkable. How could Monarch in Harmony with the World have possibly lost?
The Monarch muttered dazedly for a long time. Just as they were about to reach the Daoist temple, he finally came to his senses. He looked nervously at Lv Mingyue and said gravely, "You must not speak of my defeat at Wu Tian’s hands. Do you understand?"
Lv Mingyue was startled but still nodded. "I... I understand."
The matter of Monarch in Harmony with the World’s defeat was not spread, but Wu Tian’s last words were carelessly mentioned by Lv Mingyue.
"Bother me again, and I’ll kill you!"
When the many Daoist apprentices at the temple, who considered themselves great cultivators, heard what Wu Tian had said, they all chuckled. When Monarch in Harmony with the Earth and Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven heard his words, they also shook their heads in private.
Monarch in Harmony with the Earth declared angrily, "Fine! Just fine! I’ll go find him right now and see if he can really kill me!"
Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven also chimed in, "Good. I will go as well."
Remembering his inexplicable defeat, Monarch in Harmony with the World hurriedly said, "You mustn’t do this! You mustn’t!"
Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven and Monarch in Harmony with the Earth both paused. "Fellow Daoist, why do you say so?"
"We..." Monarch in Harmony with the World was embarrassed. He couldn’t bring himself to admit that Wu Tian had defeated him. If I say it, how can I ever show my face again? He could only say, "As Saints, should we really take a child seriously? We are over a thousand years old; does he not appear as a mere child to us? We must maintain the demeanor of elders—tolerant, broad-minded, and above such petty squabbles."
Monarch in Harmony with the Heaven and Monarch in Harmony with the Earth looked at each other and nodded. "That makes sense!"
