"You... are the Immortal Monarch?" The Clan Leader muttered after snapping out of his daze.
"Do you really expect to believe such nonsense?"
Yuan smiled and said, "You don’t have to believe imdiately, as I’ll show you evidence in just a mont."
"A-Are you really going to kill Bai Xutao?" The Clan Leader asked with a deep frown on his face.
"If you had raised him properly, he wouldn’t be in this situation."
In the next mont, Yuan activated Forbidden Blood Extraction on Bai Xutao.
Instantly, the entire sky darkened, as though the heavens themselves were displeased, casting an ominous shadow over the valley.
Nothing had happened when Yuan used the Forbidden Blood Extraction in the Primal Expanse, for there was no ’heaven’ there to respond.
But now, back in the Nine Heavens, the technique invoked Heaven’s wrath, as it was a heaven-defying power that the heavens did not want to exist.
The dark clouds rumbled ominously, as if the heavens themselves were warning Yuan to stop.
But Yuan paid no heed, his focus unwavering as he continued to activate the Forbidden Blood Extraction, unshaken by the growing threat above him.
"He’s invoked Heaven’s Judgnt! And it doesn’t seem to be a small one!" the elders exclaid in shock, their eyes drawn to the dark clouds swirling above their territory.
"What the hell is he trying to do?!"
As everyone watched in stunned silence, Bai Xutao, still frozen in midair, suddenly scread in agony. Blood began pouring from his eyes, nose, and ears, staining the air around him.
Seeing that Yuan ignored the warning, the heavens unleashed its judgnt upon him, striking with a massive bolt of lightning far more powerful than what Yuan had faced at the Frozen Cloud Ethereal Sect.
BANG!
The bolt was so thick and colossal that it engulfed both Yuan and the Clan Leader entirely, swallowing them in a blinding flash of raw power.
"Clan Leader!!!" The elders cried out in terror, their eyes wide with fear as they saw him struck by Heaven’s Judgnt.
But their panic quickly shifted to relief when the dust cleared, revealing the Clan Leader, who was only slightly injured.
However, their eyes widened in disbelief when they saw Yuan erge from the chaos, completely unhard by the devastating attack.
Yuan gazed up at the dark clouds with a mocking smile. "Didn’t you learn anything from the last ti? You won’t get rid of with that pathetic power!"
The dark clouds above him responded instantly, expanding massively, its ominous presence now covering the entire Heavenly White Valley, stretching across hundreds of thousands of miles.
"Heavens!"
Seeing the overwhelming power above, the elders and everyone else scrambled for their lives, including the Clan Leader, who had finally regained control of his body after the lightning strike.
Yet Yuan remained rooted in place, unfazed, as he continued extracting the blood essence from Bai Xutao.
When the process was complete, the heavens responded with its second Heaven’s Judgnt—a strike so powerful and devastating that it sent a tremor through the entire Eighth Heaven for a brief mont, startling experts throughout the realm.
As the attack subsided and the dust settled, a massive crater was revealed.
Despite the catastrophic force of the attack, Yuan remained completely unhard, his Flawless Heavenly Physique rendering Heaven’s Judgnt utterly useless against him.
"If this is all you’ve got, I guess you don’t really mind using this technique."
Yuan continued the Forbidden Blood Extraction on Bai Xutao, but due to the complexity of Bai Xutao’s cultivation and the volatile nature of his situation, the process was taking far longer than Yuan had anticipated.
Realizing its efforts were futile against Yuan, the Heavens withdrew, and the dark clouds slowly dissipated, leaving behind a clear sky once more.
Seeing this, everyone returned to spectating Yuan’s actions.
"What is he doing to the Young Master?"
"That bastard is forcefully extracting his blood essence!"
"What?! Such a technique exists?!"
"What a fearso technique!"
The mbers of the Heavenly White Tiger Clan were stunned and terrified by Yuan’s mythical technique, their minds slowly grasping the reason behind his invocation of Heaven’s Judgnt.
"That technique... It’s definitely Forbidden Blood Extraction..." The Eleventh Elder suddenly muttered, his body trembling in fear and awe.
"You know about it?" The others turned to look at him for answers.
"You would know as well if you’d spend so ti in our family’s archive," said the Eleventh Elder. "According to our Ancestor, the Forbidden Blood Extraction is one of the Immortal Monarch’s techniques, used to extract a beast’s blood essence forcefully."
"Are you saying that he’s the real deal? That the Immortal Monarch has returned?"
The Eleventh Elder nodded nervously, his mind racing as he suddenly recalled the vial of blood he had destroyed.
’Fuck... Did I actually destroy the Immortal Monarch’s blood...?’ The thought struck him like a bolt of lightning, and he desperately hoped it wasn’t true. The guilt would be unbearable if it were.
"Forbidden Blood Extraction..." The Clan Leader stood at a distance, his gaze vacant. Like the Eleventh Elder, he recognized the technique. Yet, even with the undeniable evidence before him, he struggled to accept the truth—that Yuan was the Immortal Monarch. No, he refused to believe it.
If Yuan was truly the Immortal Monarch, then there was no saving his son, Bai Xutao.
anwhile, Bai Ning collapsed to her knees, her expression twisted with an emotion that seed to mirror the anguish of the worst breakup imaginable. As the Immortal Monarch’s most ardent admirer, there was no mistaking his technique.
Yet, much like the Clan Leader, she refused to believe it. For if she did, it would an that she had fought the Immortal Monarch and sought to end his life on more than one occasion. It was a reality that she didn’t want to accept.
Unfortunately for her, there was simply too much evidence that supported Yuan being the Immortal Monarch.
"What have I done...?" Bai Ning muttered in a low voice as she ca to accept reality.
