Chapter 1042: Chapter 1040: The World’s Various Mysteries and Terrors, Six Keys, Legend of the Dark Monarch

It seems he saw the confusion on Jun Xiaoyao’s face.

Shen Le smiled, showing her teeth, and said, "First King Hall, you don’t need to be troubled by such things."

"The Ultimate Calamity, it’s something unimaginable, an indescribable existence."

"No one knows whether it’s a person or another creature, or perhaps even a phenomenon or a potential occurrence."

Shen Le’s words made Jun Xiaoyao fall into thought.

Indeed, there’s this possibility.

The calamity could refer to a disastrous source rather than a specific being.

Just like the dark chaos that once engraved ancient history.

But if it’s just a phenomenon, then why does it have its own will and can appoint the Six Kings of Destruction?

"The Ultimate Calamity can appoint the Six Kings, which means it has at least one mode of thought belonging to a living being."

"A phenomenon cannot possess the mind and wisdom of a sentient being."

Jun Xiaoyao thought carefully and thoroughly.

Being naturally intelligent and wise, he invariably considered all angles when pondering issues.

"That’s true, but no one can say for sure. Perhaps those catastrophe-level immortals from the Ultimate Emperor Race, who have lived countless ages, might provide an answer," Shen Le sighed.

"Catastrophe-level Immortal..." Jun Xiaoyao fell silent.

Such existences are more terrifying than Immortal Kings and are dubbed catastrophes.

When the border region was breached and a gap was created, traces of catastrophe-level immortals appeared.

How could such existences answer Jun Xiaoyao’s questions?

Moreover, even if he had the chance, Jun Xiaoyao would have to ponder it deeply.

After all, in front of such beings, Jun Xiaoyao would find it hard to ensure he wouldn’t expose any clues.

"Source, Era Great Tribulation, Ultimate Calamity, Dark Chaos, the buried existences in the Burial Realm, the secrets of the Sea of Realms..."

Jun Xiaoyao faintly felt that these terrifying existences, more mysterious and bizarre than the Seven Great Wonders, seemed to have some hidden connections in secret.

He then thought of his father, Jun Wuhui, who managed the regions of the Exotic Realm, Burial Soil, and Boundary Sea simultaneously with the One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones technique.

Could it be that in the depths of Ancient Burial Land’s Burial Realm and within the legendary Sea of No Boundary, there are unimaginable existences akin to the Ultimate Calamity of the Exotic Realm?

Jun Xiaoyao believed his father should know some secrets and might be orchestrating something.

Jun Wuhui’s choice of these three special locations was not unreasonable.

The more Jun Xiaoyao thought about it, the more he felt there’s still a great distance to the truth of this world.

This depth is overwhelming, making it difficult to grasp.

Even Jun Xiaoyao felt somewhat troubled.

He also started to admire his family.

To have endured so many hidden threats and remained prosperous until now, the depth of the Jun Family’s heritage is evident.

The depth remains profound.

However, in the Exotic Realm, he couldn’t rely on the Jun Family’s power; he could only explore all secrets himself.

"First King Hall, actually there’s no need for you to overthink. Just know that we, Six Kings, are reincarnated beings."

"The Ultimate Calamity granted us Six Kings the power of reincarnation."

"Even if we die or something unexpected happens, in the future, someone will awaken and inherit the same fate."

"The only way to break this cycle is by fulfilling the celestial mandate to destroy the Immortal Realm. By then, the reincarnation of Six Kings will cease."

Shen Le said in a haunting tone.

"No, perhaps there’s another way..." Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze flickered slightly.

"Oh?" Shen Le was curious.

"That is, to let the Ultimate Calamity completely..."

The words ’disappear’ hadn’t been spoken.

Shen Le immediately covered Jun Xiaoyao’s lips with her jade hand.

"First King Hall, please don’t speak rashly, as it may invite unimaginable consequences," Shen Le’s face turned pale, full of lingering dread.

Jun Xiaoyao didn’t say anything further.

Indeed, in this world, there exist taboo entities with ultimate power, where just uttering their names can cause resonances and anomalies.

But Jun Xiaoyao believed, with his Destiny Void physique.

Even if the Ultimate Calamity truly sensed something, it would be difficult for it to trace his karma.

No matter how formidable the existence, it couldn’t manage that.

With such divine opposition, how could the Destiny Void physique not securely rank first among the Three Thousand Physiques?

"Alright, let’s not discuss this topic anymore. Besides, I have another doubt regarding the World-Ending Forbidden Artifacts," Jun Xiaoyao inquired.

"We’re getting to the main topic. This is also why Nun didn’t allow you to deal with the Fifth King." Shen Le responded.

"I’m all ears." Jun Xiaoyao’s interest was piqued.

Frankly, if Shen Le hadn’t stopped him, he would really have slapped Yun Xiaohai, this fly, to death.

After all, flies are annoying.

"We Six Kings each possess a World-Ending Forbidden Artifact, which is not only our personal weapon but also a key to opening the depths of the Unmentionable Land."

Jun Xiaoyao wasn’t too surprised at hearing this.

He had speculated before that the World-Ending Forbidden Artifacts had hidden secrets.

To his surprise, he had indeed guessed correctly.

Six World-Ending Forbidden Artifacts are six keys.

Only by gathering all six keys can the entrance to the depths of the Unmentionable Land be unlocked.

Shen Le waved her jade hand, and a long samurai sword appeared in her hand, five feet long, exuding a cold, dark aura.

"This is Nun’s World-Ending Forbidden Artifact, the Demon Sword Heaven Cry. Among the six forbidden weapons, only when wielded by their masters can they act as keys." Shen Le said.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, observing the Demon Sword in Shen Le’s hand.

Divine Cry Battle Halberd, Demon Sword Heaven Cry, Great Black Heaven Mirror, Ten-Tailed Celestial Destruction Disc.

The six World-Ending Forbidden Artifacts, four have already appeared.

"Opening the door to the Unmentionable Land, what can be gained?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"That’s uncertain—it might be our Six Kings’ heritage, other opportunities, or perhaps even a chance to meet the Ultimate Calamity; no one can say for sure."

Shen Le’s remark made Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes shine.

Fortunately, he hadn’t killed Yun Xiaohai; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to venture into the depths of the Unmentionable Land.

"Nun senses that in this great era, the Six Kings will indeed gather, and by then, we can head to the Unmentionable Land to seize its opportunities."

"Once we grow in power and destroy the Immortal Realm, we can enjoy eternal, immortal glory."

Expectations filled Shen Le’s eyes as she spoke.

Once the Immortal Realm is destroyed, their celestial mandate as Six Kings concludes.

They’ll break free from the celestial mandate and cease the cycle of reincarnation.

She can always be with the admired First King.

Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze remained deep; he didn’t speak further.

The Immortal Realm cannot be destroyed, not as long as he’s here.

It’s not that Jun Xiaoyao is merciful or loves playing hero.

It’s because the Jun Family, Jiang Family, Monarch Court, and those he cares for are all within the Immortal Realm.

Without the Immortal Realm, they’ll lose their foundation.

Moreover, besides him, Su Hongyi also follows him to the death.

Among the Six Kings, two are informants; expecting success under such circumstances would be baffling.

"Thanks for clearing my doubts; it seems we just need to wait for the remaining two kings to emerge," Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

"So, First King Hall, next..."

Shen Le remained seated on Jun Xiaoyao’s lap, her jade arms wrapped around his neck, eyes filled with a pink allure.

"I still need to return to the War God Academy; I’ll find you again later."

Jun Xiaoyao rose, gently easing Shen Le away with his power.

"First King Hall, you..." Shen Le was slightly dazed.

Is she just a tool for information gathering, used and then discarded?

"Thank you; this conversation was delightful."

With an elegant smile akin to a gentleman, Jun Xiaoyao disappeared in the next instant.

Shen Le stayed in place, then stomped her jade foot in some annoyance.

"First King Hall, next time Nun won’t let you escape," Shen Le muttered to herself.

Then, as if recalling something, her expression turned solemn.

There’s another matter she hasn’t informed Jun Xiaoyao of.

"It’s rumored that when the Six Kings emerge together, a commander known as the Dark Monarch will emerge. Is this just a legend or fact?"

Since the Six Kings have never appeared simultaneously, Shen Le isn’t sure whether this rumor is true or false.

Unable to verify the legend’s accuracy, she omitted telling Jun Xiaoyao to avoid misleading him.

She knew, with the First King’s arrogance, it’s improbable for him to submit to anyone.

"I just hope the rumor about the Dark Monarch is false."

"Otherwise, the relationship between the First King and the Dark Monarch might not be so harmonious..."

Shen Le sighed inwardly.
