Chapter 1392: The Shocking Battle (3)
January 28, 2018
Beyond the World, Afang Palace!
At this very moment in Afang Palace, black mist enveloped the area, bringing with it a terrifying pressure that trapped nearly a hundred extra-dimensional monarchs.
The black mist seemed to have a visual detachment and sensory isolation effect. After its arrival, no one could see the existence of others.
The pressure was even more frightening, directly suppressing the strength of everyone in Afang Palace, except for Qin Shihuang, by nearly fifty percent.
Confronted with this sudden situation, everyone in the palace, except for Qin Shihuang, was filled with confusion and dismay.
This was especially true for Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who had no idea what was happening until Qin Shihuang's grand formation was set up.
Weren't they supposed to work together to defeat the remaining monarchs from beyond the world and then divide the realm into three parts, eliminating Lu Hai Kong in the process?
Although they knew from the start that Qin Shihuang couldn't be trusted, and they themselves were not entirely reliable, they would definitely stab each other in the back given the chance. But Qin Shihuang, your betrayal is not just a backstab; the timing of this attack is also wrong, right?
There's still a formidable enemy like Lu Hai Kong out there. Is this the right time for this move?
Liu Bang and the others couldn't understand why Qin Shihuang would do this at this moment.
While they were perplexed, Qin Shihuang, the instigator of all this, had always been clear about his intentions. At this moment, there was not a hint of hesitation or doubt in his mind or actions.
While the monarchs were confused by the black mist, he had transformed into a black dragon and sneaked up behind one of the monarchs. Without the monarch's awareness, the black dragon's claw extended, pulling out the blackened dragon energy from the monarch's body, which had been tainted by their transformation into extra-dimensional demons. He then swallowed it in one gulp.
As this black dragon energy was extracted, the monarch immediately collapsed, lifeless, while Qin Shihuang's black dragon form significantly enhanced after consuming the dragon energy.
After taking down one monarch, Qin Shihuang didn't stop; he continued his actions.
From this move, it was evident that Qin Shihuang was currently devouring the dragon energy of these monarchs to strengthen himself.
This was, in fact, Qin Shihuang's Monarch Talent, which allowed him to devour dragon energy and enhance his power without any side effects or apparent limits.
However, this was Qin Shihuang's first time using this ability, not because he didn't want to before, but because he hadn't had the opportunity.
In the previous environment beyond the world, if Qin Shihuang dared to devour the dragon energy of a monarch, he would likely be discovered the next day. After all, while this method of devouring dragon energy to strengthen oneself was powerful, it had one drawback: it couldn't be hidden.
So, he had to be prepared to face all the forces from beyond the world as soon as he made his move. Qin Shihuang hadn't been ready for this before, and he hadn't had the chance to use this ability.
But after Lu Hai Kong's invasion, Qin Shihuang saw an opportunity to eliminate all the monarchs from beyond the world, including Lu Hai Kong.
For now, he had successfully trapped the monarchs, and if he could devour all their dragon energy, his strength would surge to an immeasurable level.
Then, all he needed to do was defeat Lu Hai Kong, seize the Human Emperor's Cauldron from him, and devour his dragon energy. Even if it was...
Qin Shi Huang also had the confidence to resist.
As long as he could fight against it, or even take it down, he would become the eternal ruler of heaven and earth, and there was a possibility that he could transform this hellish place into a livable environment for humans.
And all of this before him, he had to thank Lu Hai Kong.
It had to be said that fate was a mysterious thing. Ten years ago, in Qin Shi Huang's eyes, Lu Hai Kong was merely a messenger of wealth, whose life's mission was to deliver the Human Emperor's Cauldron to him.
Unexpectedly, his intervention ten years ago resulted in a bloody head injury, and what he could not have foreseen was that his failure at that time ultimately laid the foundation for this opportunity.
"It's a matter of timing and destiny. It seems I am destined to stand eternally at the pinnacle of this world!"
With a roar, Qin Shi Huang, in his black dragon form, sprang into action once more. He moved stealthily through the black mist, creeping up behind each monarch, one by one, pulling out and devouring their dragon aura.
While Qin Shi Huang was fully engaged in devouring inside Afang Palace, outside, Wang Jian led a massive army to surround the palace. Above, Xu Fu floated calmly, his gaze coldly fixed on the palace below. With a casual wave of his hand, he could suppress and confine anyone attempting to escape.
Since Xu Fu's appearance, the ones he had suppressed the most were Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
As Wang Jian and Xu Fu guarded Qin Shi Huang, on the other side, the foreign alliance army finally mobilized. Led by Zhang Han, millions of extra-dimensional demons marched toward Lu Hai Kong's location.

Almost simultaneously with the alliance army's movement, the reconnaissance beasts, which had spread across the entire foreign domain, discovered this situation. The intelligence was promptly delivered to Lu Hai Kong.
When Lu Hai Kong received the intelligence from his soldiers, his eyes flashed with brilliance: "The foreign alliance army is on the move. It seems Qin Shi Huang has already begun!"
From Lu Hai Kong's reaction, it was evident that he was well-informed.
Indeed, Lu Hai Kong was privy to much information; he even knew what Qin Shi Huang was up to at that moment, and most of his knowledge came from Liu Bolin.
At that moment, Liu Bolin and Zhang Daoling, who were beside Lu Hai Kong, glanced at the direction of Xianyang, and both of their faces revealed astonishment: "The dark and evil aura soaring into the sky from the direction of Xianyang indicates that he has made his move without a doubt."
"Excellent, in that case, it's time for us to take action as well."
Speaking, Lu Hai Kong strode out of the original Mingcheng Zhu Yuan Zhang's palace. However, the direction he headed toward was not where the foreign alliance army was located; instead, he led Liu Bolin and Zhang Daoling directly to Xianyang.
For Qin Shi Huang, this was an excellent opportunity. If he seized it well, he could soar to the heavens and rival the system.
For Lu Hai Kong, this was also an opportunity. If he handled it correctly, he could eliminate the foreign domain threat once and for all!
One sought to become the eternal ruler, while the other aimed to eradicate the foreign domain threat. Only time would tell which of these two individuals would achieve their desires...
