Soul Transformation Realm

Xue Mowang's body shook, Boom!... , Blood red demonic rushed to the sky, as if to herald his recovery, feeling it the blood demons including the demonic generals all stopped and knelt towards Xue Mowang.

Fear gripped everyone as that massive aura felt like a huge mountain blotting the sky and suppressing everyone.

Subconsciously the alliance army retreated backwards gathering together.

Xue Mowang opened his eyes, blood red demonic eyes filled with disdain watched everyone, standing from his cross-legged position Xue Mowang stretched his limbs and smiled.

Silence engulfed the battlefield at that smile.

Zhan Shenwei felt an aura from Xue Mowang, one of confidence, absolute confidence, like he felt he could cover the whole sky with his hands, the eastern region skies.

Not just Zhan Shenwei, everyone felt the same, like they couldn't fight, like there was no point fighting.

Zhan Shenwei was a Primordial God, still he was still human, the part that was human made him feel from the depth of his soul like he was facing an extremely powerful being.

So this was the blood demon king at his peak without suppression from the world.

As if he could smell the fear of his preys Xue Mowang took a deep breath, an intoxicated look on his face, "I can feel your fear, good!, good!, it is wise to fear this king ".

The last demonic general that stood by his side brought out a large black red throne over two meters tall from somewhere, one befitting Xue Mowang.

Xue Mowang sat his massive body on the throne, one of his hand on the armrest as he lay his head on it the other tapping tapping the second armrest.

Looking at the alliance army Xue Mowang had a playful look on his face as he watched the whole battlefield, like one viewing an opera.

After a while, with a smile on his face he said, "Bow and live, resist and die!".

At first no one answered, then some of the those among the alliance army looked at each other and with a dejected look they knelt and bowed to Xue Mowang.

At first just a few, then little by little more knelt.

The blood demons had a look of disdain on their faces as they sneered at their actions.

Those who knelt had a look of shame on their faces, still more joined them.

They didn't want to die, even if it meant they would live as slaves, as dogs , it was better than dying.

The rest had tears in their eyes as they looked at those kneeling, they felt sadness and sorrow as their fellow human beings knelt for mercy.

Xue Mowang watched on with a smile, whether it was those kneeling or those crying for them, they all amused him.

At first it was just normal cultivators then some smaller clans and sects, even the disciples of the Raging Flame Sect knelt, after all their Sect Master had since deflected maybe by joining him their lives could be bit better than normals slaves.

Yan Yimin nodded as if in recognition to his sects disciples, to him there was nothing wrong in surviving as for the rest that still stood they were fools.

Xue Mowang looked at Xia Tianming with a smile, but unlike before this smile had a hint of emotion, although he wasn't the only one not kneeling, to Xue Mowang among these group of trash only Xia Tianming deserved his attention.

" Ah, Xia Tianming! , won't you kneel, who knows I might spare the life of your loved ones if you do ".

Xia Tianming looked at him and shook his head, saying calmly, " Everyone to their own choice, survival is right , dignity is right".

That was the truth, he didn't have anything against those kneeling, even back then before the war when some nobles of his Empire fled he just watched on.

There was nothing wrong with trying to survive to him, of course if it was his officials or soilders he would kill them, those ones owed him allegiance.

After having recuperated from a while Xia Tianming had regained a bit of strength, standing up he faced Zhan Shenwei.

His voice wasn't loud but it echoed in the silent battlefield, " Back then you said something I liked, when someone asked you why you still kept on striving even when your meridians were crippled ".

Zhan Shenwei didn't know why Xia Tianming was asking him in this little matter that happened in the manual pavillion of the Zhan clan situation, as for how he knew it wasn't strange, even Zhan liang who was nearby wasn't surprised, clearly as the Emperor wouldn't Xia Tianming investigate who he was planning to marry his daughter to and being to privy to such matter wasn't much.

Zhan Shenwei closed his eyes and taught back to what he told Xiaomei when she asked him and said

"All living things are not born equal under the Heavens, yet the Great Dao is fair as far as one is willing there is a way".

Xia Tianming chuckled at his words, "I spent hours contemplating those words, it's fascinating coming from a kid, I admire your will ".

Hearing their conversation, Xue Mowang looked at Zhan Shenwei for the first time, from his clone he already knew about Zhan Shenwei, apart from the fact the kid noticed their plan and being Yunzi's fiance, also knowing he had absorbed the blood essence of the blood demon clan, still all those weren't really enough to warrant his attention.

Yet those words were, to others those words apart from sounding good wasn't much but to experts Zhan Shenwei's words were an amalgamation of his spirit and will to push through no matter the unfavorable circumstances, even if every road was blocked it meant he believed there was a way.

This young kid already an heart suitable for the dao.

 " Yet the Great Dao is fair ", what powerful words and strong will, even he admired a bit.

To others " will" didn't mean much, but powerful experts knew when one's will reach a certain extent and with a powerful soul, one could influence the forces of nature.

Spear intent, sword intent, blood intent and any other intent, they were all formed from one's mind comprehension and will.

Xia Tianming turned towards Ye Mo, Ye Mo cupped his fist and bowed, although Xia Tianming didn't say anything he knew what he meant.

After that he turned towards Zhan Shenwei and said, " Since you showed me your will let this Emperor return the favour, Yunzi watch your Father ".

Yunzi had tears in her eyes as she heard Xia Tianming.

Zhan Shenwei clenched his fist in indignation then suddenly he felt his body bound by something and he couldn't move , looking at his waist he saw a black snake like rope binding he and Yunzi together.

The other end of the rope was held by the old man beside them, he didn't know this old man and his name but from the fact he stood beside them with both the Empress and Xia Tianming, Shenwei knew he was trusted by them.

Xia Yunzi was also surprised, looking around the Empress and Emperor were clearly not bothered at this, even his father Zhan Liang beside them looked calmly like he expected it.

Zhan Shenwei had an ominous feeling in his heart at their reaction, what was happening.

Knowing they wouldn't endanger them, he and Yunzi kept calm.

Lian Yu walked towards Xia Tianming and stood by him, Xia Tianming smiled warmly at her then faced Xue Mowang with a cold face.

Taking a step, Xia Tianming's aura rose and said loudly, " This land belongs to my Great Xia, everything below the sky of these lands belongs to this Emperor, you are trespassing ".

Taking another step, his natal weapon the Sky sword flew to his side and let out a sharp cry.

By the third step, a silhouette flew from between his brows formed a giant manifestation at his back.

this manifestation was very similar to Xia Tianming and wore imperial robes with a jade crown on it's head and held a sword in it's hand.

It's two eyes were bright like the sun and carried an aura of authority and might.

Seeing this manifestation Xue Mowang rose up from his throne, a serious look on his face he looked at the manifestation behind Xia Tianming.

Not just him the demonic generals and the alliance experts all looked at him.

Xia Tianming's aura had clearly changed, the only person that gave off that kind of powerful feeling was Xue Mowang, although the feeling Xia Tianming gave wasn't as powerful as Xue Mowang's, it was similar, like it was in the same level, the same realm.

Cold sweat and joyful vigor flowed through their body, clearly Xia Tianming was more powerful than they thought.

Even Xia Yunzi was surprised, clearly not expecting her Father to have this kind of strength, wasn't he injured?

Only Ye Mo and Lian Yu had a calm face, clearly in the know.

With a deep frown on his face Xue Mowang said, " With your strength at the Soul transformation realm you can clearly go anywhere, even the Vast Seas of this world which requires spirit ships to cross can be covered by you, why did you still choose to stay ".

" You might have ascended to the Soul transformation realm the same as me , you are still not my match, so tell me why, why !".

"Do you want to spite me!"

Xia Tianming chuckled at this.

As if fuel to a fire, Xue Mowang stood from his throne, he was furious!
