[Ding. You have slain one Second-Grade Sovereign Realm expert, Gained 200,000 experience points.]
With the loss of the bonus multiplier, the experience gained had sharply decreased. Reaching a level-up by killing a single elite enemy like before would be very difficult from now on.
Of course, if he could catch a boss like the Blood Hawk King, that would be a different matter altogether.
Liu Bai's gaze subtly swept toward the blood-colored figure currently confronting Jiuyou in the sky ahead.
A confrontation between Kings was sothing far beyond what re Blood Hawk Guards and Nine Nether Guards could compare to. The entire Blood Vulture City trembled under that terrifying pressure.
Boom!
Two terrifying surges of spiritual energy erupted almost simultaneously, like countless raging waves crashing forward violently.
At this mont, everyone in the city stared fixedly at the sky, fearing that a catastrophic disaster might descend upon them in the next instant.
And just as they were trembling in fear, the space at the point where the two energies collided suddenly twisted. A figure of light appeared out of thin air, casually flipping his palm as he pressed down.
The vast spiritual energies emitted by the two Kings were directly suppressed and forcibly crushed into nothingness.
An uproar erupted.
The sudden turn of events caused countless people to cry out in shock. Their gazes shot upward, and the entire city instantly boiled with excitent.
"That is… one of the Three Emperors of the Great Heavenlaw Domain, the Sleeping Emperor?!"
"To think that even such a great figure has been alard!"
"…"
In the sky, both Jiuyou and the Blood Hawk King froze when they saw the figure of light, then hurriedly cupped their fists.
"Greetings, Lord Sleeping Emperor."
"Greetings, Lord Sleeping Emperor!"
Whether it was the Nine Nether Guards or the Blood Hawk Guards, upon seeing their respective Kings salute, they too shouted in unison.
At this mont, that figure was the most dazzling presence in all of heaven and earth.
"You two… have you completely ignored the rules of my Great Heavenlaw Domain?"
The Sleeping Emperor was no longer sleeping—this was serious.
Both Jiuyou and the Blood Hawk King felt their hearts sink.
Naturally, neither of them dared to truly violate the rules. What had just occurred was rely a declaration of stance.
The Blood Hawk King's anger was justified—after all, his strongest subordinate commander had been publicly slain by Liu Bai. The impact on the Blood Hawk Palace was far more severe than rely losing a commander or a few cities.
As for Jiuyou, she would not retreat either.
Even setting aside her relationship with Liu Bai, this was a critical mont for the Nine Nether Palace to reclaim its authority and territory. Whether in substance or reputation, Jiuyou had no choice but to be firm.
Both sides understood this clearly. The reason the Blood Hawk King dared to act was also to deliberately alarm the Three Emperors. However, while the Emperor did arrive, it was not the one either side had hoped for.
From the Blood Hawk King's perspective, even if the Sky Vulture Emperor—who leaned more toward Jiuyou—had co, he would not have been surprised. Yet the one who appeared was this seemingly uninvolved but extrely mysterious Sleeping Emperor, completely disrupting all his preparations.
"This subordinate dares not!"
Facing the overwhelming pressure from above, both the Blood Hawk King and Jiuyou imdiately lowered their heads and admitted fault.
"However, that Liu Bai dared to kill a commander of my Blood Hawk Palace. I request Lord ng to render judgnt!"
Despite the unexpected visitor, the Blood Hawk King seized the initiative.
Jiuyou's expression turned icy.
"And was that not because your Blood Hawk Palace harbored ill intentions? Blood Hawk King, don't tell the two commanders and two thousand Blood Hawk Guards you sent were rely out sightseeing."
The Sleeping Emperor clearly had no intention of listening to their dispute. He raised a hand, cutting them off coldly.
"These matters do not concern . I only wish for you two to rember this—rules are rules. If anyone can violate them at will, then what purpose do they serve?"
"This is the first offense. Considering no severe consequences occurred, I will not pursue it further. Let this serve as a warning. In the future, conduct yourselves properly."
After sweeping his gaze over both Jiuyou and the Blood Hawk King, the Sleeping Emperor's figure vanished.
What had appeared was naturally not the Emperor's true body, but rely a spiritual projection. After all, this place was still so distance from Greatlaw Heaven, and such a matter was unworthy of his true descent.
As the golden figure disappeared from the sky, the Blood Hawk King's expression darkened to the point it seed ready to drip water.
He never imagined that Liu Bai's strength had reached such a level—capable of facing a thousand troops alone and even killing Wu Tian, who had condensed battle intent. Such power far surpassed ordinary commanders and was not much weaker than that of a King.
"Nine Nether King truly has excellent sches—hiding such a powerhouse, willing to let him serve under you."
He did not believe Liu Bai's cultivation had risen so drastically within a single month, instead assuming Liu Bai had concealed his true strength from the very beginning.
What puzzled him greatly was how Liu Bai had managed to hide this even from the Three Emperors.
Jiuyou looked at him indifferently, showing no expression toward his self-righteous speculation. She had no obligation to explain anything—he could think whatever he wished.
Her attitude only further fueled the Blood Hawk King's anger, yet with Liu Bai standing there, he truly had no imdiate way to retaliate.
If he could not personally intervene, then with the strength Liu Bai had displayed, there was no one else in the Blood Hawk Palace capable of opposing him.
"We're leaving!"
After a long mont of fluctuating expressions, the Blood Hawk King finally chose to endure it for now.
Liu Bai had only killed Wu Tian. Although the thousand Blood Hawk Guards had suffered heavily from the backlash of battle intent, they rely needed ti to recover. The overall impact on the Blood Hawk Palace was not too great.
At worst, he could recruit another strong expert.
However, the temporary weakening of the Blood Hawk Palace was unavoidable, and with that, the rise of the Nine Nether Palace could no longer be stopped.
That was what truly infuriated the Blood Hawk King.
Watching the Blood Hawk King depart with his two thousand Blood Hawk Guards, a smile finally appeared at the corner of Jiuyou's lips.
"Well done."
Despite receiving praise from their King, Tang Bing and the Nine Nether Guards could not feel happy at all.
This operation had been nominally about reclaiming lost territory, and many Nine Nether Guards had already prepared themselves to sacrifice their lives. Yet after truly reclaiming two cities, the reality was completely different from what they had imagined.
Perhaps their greatest contribution was rely clashing in battle intent with the thousand Blood Hawk Guards led by Cao Feng.
Jiuyou saw through their thoughts and smiled.
"Little Bing'er, next, send people to every city and issue an ultimatum. I will give them one final chance—imdiately return to the Nine Nether Palace. Otherwise, today's fate of Jiuli City and Blood Vulture City will be their tomorrow."
"Liu Bai, there are several cities you will personally visit. These are the Blood Hawk King's diehard supporters. Strip them of their city lord positions and expel them from Nine Nether Palace territory. Then support our own people to take over."
Brimming with confidence, Jiuyou arranged everything decisively.
Liu Bai's performance had given her imnse confidence. Originally, she would have been satisfied reclaiming even one-third of the fifty major cities. But now—
She wanted them all.
This would not only offend the Blood Hawk Palace but even other King-level factions.
But so what?
With Liu Bai as a sharp blade in her hand, she feared no challenge.
As for Liu Bai himself, he was more than happy for others to co looking for trouble
in his eyes, they were nothing more than walking experience packs.
The events that took place in Blood Vulture City quickly spread throughout the Great Heavenlaw Domain. The various King-level factions soon learned the full details and ca to understand just how powerful Liu Bai was.
At the very least, among the subordinates of the various Kings, not a single person now dared to claim that they could defeat Liu Bai. This, in turn, caused Nine Nether Palace's campaign to reclaim its lost territories to proceed with remarkable smoothness.
Of course, not everyone was willing to bow their heads to Liu Bai. For example, Luo Mang, the City Lord of Demon Python City, relied on his own strength and openly resisted. In the end, Liu Bai suppressed him with a backhand strike, killing him beneath a barrage of heavenly lightning.
Liu Bai even showed no rcy at all, directly beheading two city lords. This made Tang Bing and the other Nine Nether Guards act even faster, because many city lords fled long before the Nine Nether Guards even arrived…
As a result, Nine Nether Palace beca the target of public criticism. Several King-level factions openly expressed their dissatisfaction, and so even wanted the Three Emperors to step in and put a stop to Nine Nether Palace's seemingly reckless actions.
Unfortunately for them, it was useless…
The Three Emperors had long since stated that they would not interfere in conflicts between King-level factions. Thus, even if Liu Bai carried out widespread slaughter below, the Three Emperors would not intervene.
If you had the ability, then go and kill him yourselves. Otherwise, endure it…
That said, the Three Emperors had begun to pay attention to Liu Bai. After all, his age was shockingly young, yet his strength was extraordinarily strange. Moreover, the bizarre Celestial Body he used was sothing even the Three Emperors had never seen before—this alone made him highly unusual.
If Mandala had not been in seclusion and ignoring worldly affairs, then under another faction, Liu Bai might already have caught the attention of the upper echelons and been grood for promotion…
Unfortunately, in everyone's eyes, Liu Bai and Jiuyou were firmly bound together. Thus, while the Sky Vulture Emperor showed great interest in promoting Liu Bai, the Spiritual Pupil Emperor expressed opposition. Naturally, both acted strictly within the bounds of the rules, and with the Sleeping Emperor choosing not to interfere, the matter was temporarily shelved.
However, this did not an that Liu Bai would remain a re Commander forever. After all, a colossal force like the Great Heavenlaw Domain naturally had a complete system of advancent.
Within the Great Heavenlaw Domain, that path consisted of the King-Sealing Battle and the Emperor-Seizing Battle…
These two great competitions were the most important events of the Great Heavenlaw Domain. To qualify, one not only needed sufficient strength, but also had to accumulate enough rit for the Great Heavenlaw Domain. Both conditions were indispensable.
As for Liu Bai, his strength was still slightly lacking, and his rits were virtually nonexistent. Thus, for the ti being, he indeed had no qualification to advance further.
Although his status could not change for now, the na Liu Bai had already spread throughout the entire territory of the Great Heavenlaw Domain, and even many surrounding forces had heard of him.
As for Liu Bai himself, having returned to Nine Nether Palace, he was now examining his gains.
"After breaking through to a Second-Grade Sovereign, I only had a little over one million experience points left. With these additional gains, I've finally surpassed two million again. I'm still one-third short of advancing to a Third-Grade Sovereign."
After so thought, Liu Bai directly upgraded the Divine Refinent Art to the Perfect Realm, consuming less than two hundred thousand experience points.
With this, he now possessed the qualifications to forge divine artifacts. The reason for doing so was simple—henceforth, the enemies he would face would all be Sovereign-level experts. The two weapons he commonly used, the Kaiyuan Chasing Moon Bow and the Purple Heavens Sword, were already beginning to fall behind. Liu Bai planned to gather materials and, when the opportunity arose, upgrade both weapons.
Ti quickly passed as Liu Bai absorbed the newly acquired artifact-refining knowledge.
On this day, Tang Rou's gentle voice was heard outside Liu Bai's room.
"Big Brother Liu Bai, Sister Jiuyou asked you to go to the main hall. The ti for the opening of the Greatlaw GoldPond has arrived…"
Strictly speaking, the Tang sisters were actually older than Liu Bai. However, Liu Bai had always played the role of the elder brother—how could he possibly lower himself before two girls? Thus, he shalessly doubled his age when speaking of it, tricking them into calling him "Big Brother."
Unfortunately, Tang Bing was far too sharp, and with her personality, there was no way she would ever call a man "big brother." In the end, only the gentle and soft-spoken Tang Rou fell for it.
Inside the main hall, Jiuyou looked at Liu Bai with a disappointed expression and said, "I thought you'd give another surprise this ti."
Liu Bai was montarily speechless. Naturally, he knew what Jiuyou ant. In the first month of seclusion, he had not only successfully condensed his Celestial Body, but also advanced to a Second-Grade Sovereign. Could another miracle have occurred in the second month?
Of course, Jiuyou was mostly teasing. The Tang sisters couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, though a trace of curiosity also flickered in their eyes—they were clearly very curious about Liu Bai as well.
"Do you really think I'm a god, able to advance my cultivation whenever I want?" Liu Bai said helplessly. "Besides, I didn't cultivate for most of the past half month—I was researching artifact refinent…"
"Artifact refinent? Big Brother Liu Bai, you're actually an artifact refiner too?" Tang Rou exclaid in shock.
The mont those words left her mouth, Tang Bing—who had been equally stunned—imdiately darkened in expression.
"Didn't I tell you not to call this guy 'Big Brother'? He's definitely younger than us!" Tang Bing snapped angrily at her sister.
After all, the two were twins, born less than a quarter-hour apart. If Tang Rou called him Big Brother, wouldn't that be the sa as Tang Bing doing so as well?
"O-oh, I understand, Sister," Tang Rou replied softly. Yet in the shadows, the girl secretly made a funny face at Liu Bai.
Jiuyou watched the three of them joking around and smiled faintly.
"In three days, the competition for the Greatlaw GoldPond will begin." Jiuyou's bright eyes fixed on Liu Bai as she pursed her lips in a smile. "Your na is now known to everyone in the Great Heavenlaw Domain. Countless eyes are watching you. Nervous?"
