Earth Elements

Suddenly, a roar of laughter filled the air. A voice exclaimed, "I still managed to enter the palace in the end!"

Sharky turned around with a grave expression, and saw Zhao Ruizhi standing by the main entrance.

The emperor wasn't in the best state. His body was covered in blood, and his chest had a massive wound on it. There were vague wisps of black smoke coming out of it; Sharky could already tell it was a wound inflicted by the sickle soldier. The emperor's aura was extremely unstable as well. He Li and three deathsworn soldiers were by his side; they were all wounded as well, and looked even more miserable than Zhao Ruizhi.

"This immortal palace doesn't seem all that different from an emperor's palace, hm?" Zhao Ruizhi frowned. Even though the aura of the place was grand, it didn't go beyond the level of what was achievable by mortals. He was a bit disappointed.
