Although the voice of Lord Myaw was not loud, everyone present heard it very well as their faces expressed surprised! Even the old man of the pavilion, who was deeply shocked by the current turn of events, was stumped to hear these two words.

"True Monarch?" Everyone sucked a mouthful of blood. They did not dare to believe what they just heard.

True Monarch! This realm was the next realm after the Immortal Emperor Realm. If emperors could create shockwaves, monarchs themselves could create earthquakes!

Everyone knew that the apex of this world was Immortal Emperor, and this was the fact as the heavenly laws of this world would not let anyone breakthrough that easy. But there were a few who's lucky enough to have a breakthrough to True Monarch Realm! And this monarch in the shadows was one of them.

Truth be told, there were still few True Monarchs, at least two more, who had yet to ascend and were currently staying here in Grivexia. They would not show themselves unless a catastrophe that could threaten the world emerged.

"..." The king did not know what to say. A True Monarch realm hiding in the shadows? How could that be possible? However, the more he pondered it, the more his eyes widened in surprise, "Could it be..."

Soon, the void suddenly fluctuated and an ancient voice sounded, "Ah, it seems I have been found out."

After which, a young woman, probably in her 20s wearing a dark blue robe, appeared out of the void. Her face was beautiful enough to topple every city she goes to. All blooming flowers would be shy to show themselves, not daring to compete with the temperament and beauty of this lady. She gracefully walked down and treated the air as her stage. Her blue short hair had beautifully swayed with the wind, creating a more dazzling appearance that entranced everyone present.

The king felt a lump in his throat, but afterward, he could only say, "Ancestor Lilibeth!"

Everyone was taken aback when the king spouted these two words.

This beautiful lady, who could shame the flowers enough to go into hiding, was an old demon who had yet to die and ascend? Everyone who knew Ancestor Lilibeth was aware that she currently had ascended in order to seek a greater dao. But what was this? Why was she here even on this continent?

The king and the emperors immediately prostrated, not daring to lift their heads. Although they had never seen the founder of their race, they still knew her face. That face that had not even changed after a couple of million years!

"I'm disappointed with you all, my descendants." Ancestor Lilibeth shook her head, "What are you doing this past many years that I have been away? Have your brains rotted together with your personalities?"

Ancestor Lilibeth was truly disappointed as the entire race, which she built by sweat and blood, was about to be annihilated because of these incompetent descendants of hers. After all, she also knew that this fat cat was not something to be offended as much as possible! As a True Monarch, her instinct was currently telling her that this cat was bad news even for her as a True Monarch.

The three did not know what to say. They just accepted the words as if their mother was scolding them. They did not even breathe loudly in front of their Ancestor.

Seeing this situation, Lord Myaw could not help but intervene, "I say, what's the use of reprimanding them? All of you and your ancient race will still die by my, Lord Myaw's, hands."

Ancestor Lilibeth looked at the cat with profound eyes, this blatant threat did not shake her composure, "I know that you are powerful enough to raze my ancient race to the ground. Thus, I, Lilibeth Hai, am willing to use my life as a compensation for the sin the entire Sea Ancient Race had done."

These words were like a thunderclap of the clouds that started the dead silence within. Did they hear it right? Ancestor Lilibeth, a True Monarch, was willing to lay her life in order to save her descendants! Furthermore, she was not even planning to fight back!

"You want to trade your life for these useless descendants of yours?" Lord Myaw smirked, "And why will you say this? You don't even know if I'm stronger or you are."

"I have lived my life long enough and is just about die, anyway. So what's the use of keeping me, a dying old woman?" Ancestor Lilibeth said with an enchanting and soothing smile, "Besides, I know that even I, as a True Monarch, am not qualified to be your opponent at all. Although I could not gauge your strength, I am aware that I am not a match against you."

This calm like an ocean temperament of the monarch made everyone respect her more and be in awe. Even facing an opponent she could not beat and her life was at stake, her temperament did not change at all! This was Ancestor Lilibeth's personality ever since she took the path of cultivation. And this was probably why she was one of the strongest cultivators of the entire Grivexia throughout history.

"It is indeed true that you are not a match against me and if you fight me, you are just seeking your pointless death. Hmm, it seems like you are not a dumb idiot like the rest of your people." Lord Myaw said. What he said could be determined as praising the other party.

He paused for a moment before saying, "But aren't you treating your life so high and precious to actually think it could compensate the trouble your ancient race had done to His Majesty?"

Knowing that her life was probably not enough, she sighed and wryly smiled, "What do you want, then?"

"In exchange for your life, the three behind you and the other emperors and ancestors of your ancient race, we will spare your children, women, and elderly. This is my bottom line, don't you dare bargain with this Lord or else I won't mind killing each and everyone!" Lord Myaw said arrogantly.
