This was the true form of the eight royal clans.
With Qin Huaiâs four-armed puppet that has the power of a king realm expert by his side, it seemed inevitable that a king would soon fall.
âHelp me!â the clan leader, spewing blood, called out. He couldnât fend off Qin Huaiâs relentless pursuit any longer. If he didnât cry for help now, itâd be too late.
However, the situation wasnât much better for the other two kings. Both the blood sea king and the purple flame king struggled mightily against their opponents. The mountain giant and the true dragon, relying on their raw power and combat instincts, were masterfully splitting and pinning them down.
âThis is too much!â the blood sea king yelled, ripping his left arm off. Remarkably, as the arm floated in the air, it transformed into a formidable king bone spear. Wrapped in a ferocious spirit, the blood sea kingâs combative prowess surged.
Suddenly, the tides of his duel with the mountain giant seemed to turn.
Although Qin Huaiâs domain showed immense power, it was still a notch below the full might of a kingâs domain. Such kings had faced countless challenges and harbored many unique abilities.
Similarly, the purple flame kingâs defensive aura began to darken, its power intensifying, leaving the true dragonâs onslaughts disoriented.
However, all three kings sensed a problem. They felt as if an unseen force was sapping their strength. But there was no time to think about it. They had to break free to rescue their fellow king.
As the battle raged on, Qin Huaiâs strikes grew sharper, his power appearing to overflow, targeting the enemies incessantly. Blood-colored energy emanated from him as the collision of various domains caused turmoil in the surroundings.
Suddenly, he received multiple notifications:
âDing! Fragment of [Ferocious Spirit World] collected. Current count: (1/100)!â âDing! Fragment of [Sealed Territory] collected. Current count: (1/100)!â âDing! Fragment of [Purple Flame Realm] collected. Current count: (1/100)!â
This influx of information gave Qin Huai a basic grasp of the three kingsâ domains. Beneath a shadowy throne, three more dim lights illuminated.
Bang!
Then, abruptly, Qin Huai stopped his attacks. The clan leader, taken aback, continued to launch his punches. The sudden gap left him bewildered, with no chance to evade the impending doom.
Without warning, Qin Huai threw a powerful punch! No wind, just a sudden appearance of a black sphere in front of him. It immediately consumed and
obliterated everything in its proximity. Silent yet immensely potent.
The clan leader couldnât even let out a scream before half of his body was consumed by its energy. Within that destructive force, he recognized the black flames, the ghosts he had once heard of, and the familiar sealing power. Yet, the pure chaos contained within this force was like none he had ever experienced.
Blood gushed from the clan leaderâs mouth, not in torrents but steadily, from a ghastly wound on his body. Along with it, two types of sealed domain powers leaked.
âItâs overâ¦â the emperor lamented, casting a sorrowful gaze towards the youthful face floating in the air: Qin Huai.
Behind Qin Huai, the eight vicious beasts loomed large, with what seemed like a million vengeful spirits, ready to strike. These spirits, under his control, were a formidable army.
âA once-in-ten-thousand-years monster,â the king whispered, looking at Qin Huaiâs fluid movements. Without notice, blades formed of blood materialized, slicing through him. The relentless force pushed him down, sapping what was left of his strength.
Suddenly, notifications rang out:
âDing! Youâve acquired a [Territory Sphere: Seal Domain]!â
â[Domain Sphere]: Unleashes the domainâs maximum power upon activation and explodes. If possessing a similar domain, it can be used as an upgrade material (single-use).â
âDing! Your vitality has significantly increased!â
âDing! Youâve acquired [Qiongqi Ferocious Beast Origin] Xl.â
As notifications continued, it was evident that the fall of a king, particularly from the eight royal clans, brought a wealth of rewards.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With the clan leaderâs demise, the force suppressing Qin Huai shattered. Energy coursed through him, empowering the eight ferocious beasts, which charged, decimating the elite of the six royal clans with ease.
This tactic, originally developed to counter the eight royal clans, had become an asset for Qin Huai. Against the might of the eight beasts, the six royal clans were defenseless. The one who stood before them was akin to their ancestor.
It was a one-sided massacre, making the blood sea king and the purple flame king lose hope. They were helpless witnesses to the downfall of the kings. Their bleak fate seemed all but certain.
The battle had shifted. Qin Huai and the king corpse held dominant positions, leaving the two remaining kings with no hope for a comeback.
The haunting cries of the eight beasts echoed like a mournful dirge for a fallen king. The purple flame king, silent till now, gazed intently at the formidable figure before him, flanked by vengeful spirits and monstrous beasts. It seemed to him as if he was witnessing a powerful emperor leading a vast army.
âCould this be the rebirth of a true emperor after ten thousand years?â he whispered. Countless memories and thoughts flashed before him in a mere second.
âI surrender!â he declared, suddenly releasing a radiant purple beam.
Qin Huai, with a hint of surprise, caught the purple light, which contained a spark of white. Its potent life force resonated with something familiar.
âThe domainâs essence?â he wondered. He had seen something similar in the domain spheres he had obtained. But the thought that a king could produce such a thing was unexpected.
âYouâve lost your mind!â the blood sea king exclaimed, anger evident in his eyes. âHow can you, a leader, bow down? How will you face our ancestors?â
The purple flame king, unperturbed, responded, âThe tides of history are changing. We cannot resist the inevitable. The dawn of a new emperor is upon us. Resisting it is futile. Why not embrace the future and ensure the survival of our bloodlines? Coexistence is the key. Endless wars help no one.â
All this while, Qin Huai observed their exchange impassively, holding the glowing purple flame delicately. The moment he grasped it, the purple flame kingâs vitality seemed to wane, his once blazing aura now diminished. Crushing it would shatter the kingâs domain, reducing his powers dramatically.
Qin Huai pondered briefly. To him, a demoted king-tier was as good as a fallen one.
âWhat about you, blood sea king? Will you yield?â he inquired.
Laughing bitterly, the blood sea king replied, âNever! No matter your strength, youâre no match for all six royal clans combined!â
Without a change in expression, Qin Huai simply said, âSuch a shame.â
Taking a step, he beckoned the eight beasts, and together with the two king-tier entities and the fallen kingâs remains, they all descended upon the defiant blood sea king. Qin Huai, standing tall, silently watched the once mighty king crumble under their combined might.
The alliance of three kings⦠Just a few months back, the worldâs top expert had defeated them. Now, Qin Huai had achieved the same feat, all on his own..
