Chrrrrrr....
As the Royal Castle Crumbled to dust below, the two figures beca slowly visible in the sky.
Surrounded by a sea of relentless flas, which changed colors with every breath he took, stood the Emperor of the Feng Empire.
When the flas of his domain touched the darkness of Feng Niu’s domain, they both burned each other out.
It seed like the two powers were born, destined to face each other.
"Ah, this brings a lot of nostalgic mories. Don’t you think so, Wuhan?" Upon the command of the forr Empress who was shrouded by the darkness of her domain, the fog hiding her appearance started to recede back into her body.
"Let relive the day I gave birth to you. The happiness of being a mother, son."
A look of disgust surfaced on Wuhan’s face. Without any ounce of affection for the woman before him, he spoke coldly. "Feng Niu, soone like you does not deserve to be loved. I will never acknowledge you as my mother."
The smoke dispersed, and Feng Niu appeared before him once more, this ti with a new appearance. "Are you still angry with your mother, Wu’er?"
With darkness now wrapped around her in a regal gown that seed to swallow the heaven itself, she stepped forward. Her dark eyes now carried a deeper intent. While her raven hair had rged with the darkness, forming a crown on her head.
She looked like the demonic goddess who was about to bring destruction upon the world.
"Are you mad at your mother because I got rid of that self-righteous bigot—"
The trace of love Wuhan saw her prideful and arrogant, which did not make him feel warmth, but instead he felt a deep sense of disgust and anger.
"Enough!" As he roared, the flas responded in unison. The gentle phoenix force took upon the form of a deadly ancient beast as its wielder was now fully enraged. "You have no right to take her na or say bad things about her!"
Woosh!
Wuhan gathered the flas from the domain within around his sword and slashed at Feng Niu.
"Indeed, I took her life, so there is no need for to take her na." The kinslayer whispered back almost nonchalantly. She did not even register the incoming attack as a threat to her and simply raised her hand.
’Is she planning to stop that with her hand?’ Unlike what he was showing on the surface, Wuhan was calr on the inside. Although he was filled with anger, his rational thinking and battle instincts were still working efficiently.
Boom!
When the attack finally connected with her hand that was covered in a thin veil of darkness, a loud sound echoed in the air, but there was no impact.
"No way."
"It has to be an illusion, right?" Standing at the edge of the barrier, the generals who decided to stay inside and watch the fight were left flabbergasted.
"There is not even a scratch on her."
Seeing her unscathed left their hearts in despair. That attack that Wuhan had unleashed was no normal move. It was sothing that none of them would claim to be able to withstand.
As the darkness from her hand slowly coiled around the blade of flas that Feng Niu was still holding, she spoke, "All she did was manipulate you into doubting your own mother."
Creakkkk!
"You raised your banner against and plotted to dethrone ." The area around which the darkness latched on, cracks started to appear. "Eventually, you sealed in that hellhole for so many years that I have lost count."
Watching his attack being shattered like a fragile glass, Wuhan did not panic. "So? You want revenge now?"
"Revenge? No. No sane mother would want to harm her flesh and blood. I just want to teach my unruly kid a lesson."
With that, she dispersed Wuhan’s attack and took a step forward. The area around her suddenly darkened, and the shadows grew deeper. With a step, she vanished from his sight like a puff of smoke.
"Did you know that the soul formation realm is not a real realm?" Wuhan looked around, but there was no sign of his mother, and yet he could hear her voice from all directions.
No matter how much he tried, he could not sense her presence.
"What is this? Trying to suddenly be a parent by teaching about cultivation?" Wuhan sneered and sent his flas towards the spreading darkness, but sadly his flas were swallowed by it. "Sorry, but I reached my current level without your help, and you are too late to try that."
His words seed to have no effect on the forr empress as she continued speaking.
"It is a realm where you try to grasp your understanding of the laws of the world to feed your soul energy. You can use domains based on your comprehension of these said laws."
"Once your soul energy reaches the minimum threshold and it starts to take a shape, a form, it starts to be known as the soul budding realm."
By now, Wuhan was surrounded by the fog of darkness from all directions. His vision was compromised, and senses blocked.
’Even with my soul Sense, I cannot find her presence. It’s like she is everywhere and nowhere at the sa ti.’ Gritting his teeth, Wuhan prepared to be attacked from any direction.
"And the way a Soul Formation Realm Expert fights and a Soul Budding Realm Expert fights is completely different. You see, in soul formation you use domains and heavenly skills to make your attacks more profound and have a full impact on your enemy. But in the Soul budding realm..."
Her voice stretched on while at the sa ti Wuhan saw several Feng Nius erging from the darkness.
"We can use domains within our bodies. The explosive power of the domain within the soul surpasses the power any skills can accomplish." With a flick, all the Feng Niu charged forward.
"This is a battle of understanding of Laws and boy, you are way in over your head without that artifact."
Boom!
Wuhan tried to form a barrier with his flas to protect himself, but the sheer power behind the attack left him unable to do anything.
His body was thrown backwards, far in the direction of the barrier. Everything in his path was destroyed; the stones on the ground, along with the soil itself, were uprooted and thrown away with him.
Thump!
Zmmmm!
When the Emperor collided with the barrier, a ripple coursed through it. Beside the darkness eroding his body and armor, the rest was devoured by the barrier.
Seeing this, Feng Niu narrowed her eyes and raised her head. Her eyes seed to see past the barrier and landed on the man standing in the air with the woman who went toe-to-toe with her in a battle of intent.
When did he get here? I did not even sense him standing there before.’ Originally she had thought that it was Xin Yan who was maintaining the barrier, but recalling the woman’s lack of qi, she dismissed the thought.
’Just how powerful is he?’
She had been sensing the whole capital city with her soul sense, and she barely even sensed Xin Yan standing there because of the emotional fluctuations around her body.
But with Noah, she could not even sense those.
’Just how many secrets there are in the world that I have yet to explore.’
Woosh!
While she was lost in thought, a blur suddenly rushed towards her. Feng Niu slowly lowered her head only to see Wuhan’s sword an inch away from her body.
He had discarded the domain since it no longer affected the woman and focused all of his understanding of laws he had comprehended on the blade.
The Law of Eternal Flas.
The Law of absolute Light.
The Laws of Healing.
And hidden among all these laws, there was a faint trace of sothing deep red budding.
Sothing that was not there before but was starting to make its way into his consciousness.
It was rely a trace, but it was... The Intent of Destruction.
’The Embers of Ruin!’
The na popped into Wuhan’s head on its own. It was not a skill, nor an ability of his phoenix bloodline, but pure understanding of laws.
"Wonderful. You have grown splendidly." In a re fraction of a second, Feng Niu tossed her hand into the darkness around her and dodged the attack to the side.
BOommm!
As Wuhan’s blade touched the ground, a valley split open beyond asure. The cavity swallowed everything in its path, and had it not been for the barrier, it would have continued on with its rampage.
"Just the slightest trace of destruction and you could do that." Even though she said it, Wuhan saw no tense expression on her face.
Without saying anything, he changed his direction and attacked her again with the sa power.
"It’s about ti I attacked too, don’t you think?"
Just before his attack landed, Feng Niu’s lips curled upward in a sinister grin. She opened her mouth to say, "Law of—"
Before she could say anything, her expression tensed. ’What!?!’
