After a couple of hours dawdling mostly because the next lamp was just too damn far, now with the fourth down, Zhang Tian ca to my Sea of Consciousness and said, "I’ll show you a replay of our battle. Make sure to pay attention."
Imdiately, I found myself looking through the eyes of a young man, and just as I ca to appreciate the stuffing world energy, I realized I was actually floating in space, for a split second my heart skipped a beat and threatened to stop from fright, but I regained my bearings imdiately.
The prince, Zhang Tian seed to be standing at the forefront of so many cultivators that just counting their numbers would take days to finish. And in front of him was a heavily wounded and bloodied man, but his eyes were redder than blood, as they were bloodshot, and anger clearly displayed on his face.
The bloodied man wore green robes and had a floating jar behind him that was continuously exuding dark smoke. In his left hand was a sword that looked surprisingly similar to my Creeping Demise. Yet it was inherently different.
"Little brat, what do you think you’re doing." The man spoke.
"Senior Poison Lord, I co at the behest of my father to ask you to calm down, you already slaughtered the entire *@@//# Sect, is there any need for more bloodshed."
’Poison Lord, wasn’t he titled the Poison God? But from the looks of it, he was still younger than when I saw him fighting the Primordial Dragon Serpent.’
"I have co far! I have struggled much, I have fought much, and I have lived through hardship and despair, but I endured, I calmly walked my path without bothering any of the Holy Sects of the Celestial Realm, yet they dared! THEY DARED kill one of my own! I have yet to finish exacting my revenge! Walk or find yourself at the rcy of my blade!" the man’s words were heaven rattling, and not even the unending number of cultivators were capable of sustaining the effects of the Poison Lord’s presence. So even vomited blood as his words clashed against their divine senses.
"Haven’t you sated your bloodlust? You killed billions of lives!" The Prince shouted.
"But the one that matters escaped! Unless I kill him with my own hands! Then none of this is enough! Step aside, this shall be my last warning!"
s
"I am afraid I cannot, Qin Xue had owed us a favor, and I am obliged to repay it."
"Then so be it, Second Prince of the Wind realm, today you have chosen to step in the path of the Poison Lord, let all who is here be witness to this battle!" The Poison God said.
The young Poison God drew his sword, and from its hilt, the blade elongated to a whip and it shot forward with speed so fast that I found it impossible for to be able to see it, yet see it I was capable.
It seems that I’m experiencing the Prince of the wind Realm’s experience as if I was him. Because at my current level, that speed, not to ntion blocking or dodging it, It would be a miracle amongst miracles if I was only able to see a glimpse of it.
Zhang Tian grunted and drew nine swords that hovered behind him, one of them shot forward parrying the whip-like blade while the other nine-shot at the Poison Lord.
"Tiamat, bring chaos!" the young Poison God spoke and from the hilt of his weapon, eight other whip swords shot forward to intercept the Prince’s swords.
The Prince slapped both hands together into a prayer motion then howled, "Divine Law! Space Rent Asunder!"
The veins on the prince’s face popped up as his eyes turned golden, his whole body exuded imnse Saint Qi that the world began to groan. Space shattered from around the Poison God as fissures appeared in space, then wind so dark, so fast, and so deadly shot from within these fissures at the Poison Lord.
"Fool!" the Poison God said and held his hand forward, in a gripping motion that was facing up, then he twisted his hand and my vision swam, the winds that were going to attack the Poison God were now attacking the prince, their positions swapped.
"Damn!" the prince cursed and imdiately pulled a talisman from his pouch, the winds ca close to tearing the prince into pieces but the talisman vibrated and turned the prince’s body into a mirage. The special winds tore into the mirage harmlessly, then the special rifts closed afterward.
"It seems that your understanding of Space Laws is as amazing as ever. It would be unwise to fight you like this. Then Poison Lord! Let’s see how competent you are in Domain! Wisdom of the Ages!"
Imdiately, the sa library that I experienced earlier appeared, with all of its shelves and rows, only this ti, the area where the corpses lay, there weren’t as many as I saw before but barely a few hundred.
The prince’s clothes and appearance changed to that of a scholarly divine saint, while the young Poison God’s bloody figure was still the sa, only the Poison God’s eyes weren’t as bloodshot as before, but he seed to have regained just a bit of his sanity.
"Child, your laws are based on the knowledge you have obtained from the heritage of your father, but it is lacking. For a battle of Domain, this place is too small to confine !"
"Let’s see about that, Poison Lord, Seventh Book! Hell Eternal!"
One of the books from the shelves shot forward then it opened up, and within the library, the shelves spread apart opening a small area where a globe of fire encompassed both the young Poison God and the Prince.
"Burn by hell’s eternal flas!" Zhang Tian said and the globe of red fire surged as waves of heat assaulted the young Poison God.
"You must be mad to try and use flas against an alchemist!" the Poison God’s face turned into a wicked grin, "Sacred Heart Fla! Refine!"
The Poison God held his hand forward and a verdant fla much like the one I just obtained surged and shot forward, then it began eating up the domain of fire.
"Subrged World!" Zhang Tian imdiately dispersed the Hell Eternal domain and switched to a water domain.
The whole area beca encompassed with water, as the pressure surged, it felt like the whole world was about to collapse on the Poison God.
"You may control water, but you cannot control poison!" the Poison God smirked as the jar that was floating next to him burst out its content, and began rging with the water of the domain, though the poison began to dilute, it tarnished the water and turned it all into poison.
"Seventy-Eight Book! World Tree!" The prince called, and imdiately a massive world tree appeared and began to absorb the poison, but the tree didn’t last, as the poison seeped into its roots and dried it.
"You’re too foolish to think that a bunch of fake domains can contend against child. Let show you what a true domain is capable of." The Poison God said, his whole body began shuddering, as his face began to tear, his eyes grew long and his whole body turned scaly, the Poison God turned into a massive snake far too great for the small library to encompass. And almost imdiately, cracks began to appear in the library.
"Forsaken Poison Abyss!" spoke the Poison God through the lipless jaws of the massive snake, as his whole body began to disappear in the dark, leaving nothing but glowing green eyes to look down upon the Prince.
The prince coughed a mouthful of blood because his domain was forcefully broken. Even if the Poison God had already destroyed several of the other domains, those were nothing but secondary ones, not his real Domain, but once he destroyed the Wisdom of the Ages, the impact on the Prince’s Soul was too severe.
In this dark abyss, the prince could see nothing but the looming eyes of the snake in front of him. Fear gripped his heart, and he knew he was done for.
Just as he was about to bit down on the prince, the Poison God stopped, then removed his Domain.
Looking around, the prince was shocked, "F-father."
In front of the prince was a man whose whole appearance I couldn’t see, he was engulfed in light. This was probably from Zhang Tian’s doing, he didn’t want to see his father’s real appearance perhaps there was a reason but I wasn’t going to pray. But in this man’s hand was the decapitated head of a man.
"Son, I’m both disappointed and proud of you. Proud because you respected your vow, and fought for the honor to repay the favor you are owed, but disappointed because that favor, no matter how great is not worth your life." The man said then he threw the head toward the Poison Lord.
"I have sealed his Origin Soul within his head, he is yours to do what you wish with, I hope you can excuse my son’s behavior, Poison Lord." The man said.
"But- Father, with you here, he can’t even—"
"Silence!" the king said.
The Poison God’ bloodshot eyes turned back to normal, he thought for a mont then said, "It still doesn’t sit well with that you killed him using your own hand." He then turned to the prince and looked at him "You have crossed , though I count your father of the few associates I deal with, it still is not enough to sate my displeasure with you daring to cross ." The Poison God said.
The King looked at his son and then nodded.
The Prince sighed, and held his left hand forward, then unceremoniously cut it off with his own sword. He then threw the hand to the Poison God."
"I hope you’re satisfied." The king said.
"I shall consider this as a cease of hostilities, between and the Wind Celestial realm. But I shall keep this hand just as an assurance, lest the Wind turns back against its course."
"You have nothing to worry about," the king said.
"I am not worried, you all should, today’s matter has concluded, I shall take my leave." The Poison God said, and then he ripped through space opening a passage to god knows where then he stepped inside it.
My vision turned back to and I was standing in my sea of consciousness.
"So that’s what a high-level battle is like."
"That was nothing more than a short bout, but I hope you learned from this."
s
I shuddered at the thought, and the strength gap between , and the Poison God, and it seems that he was not even at his full potential at that point, the Poison God had yet to grow and to have the Lord removed from his na and the word God added to it.
The prince as if he was reading through my mind said, "It took a few years before his na changed. He did sothing risky afterward, thus enabling him to gain the God title."
"I guess it was sothing spectacular," I said.
"Well... spectacular, that’s a way to say it, it’s a story for another day, now go for the fifth lamp."
"Right, on it," I said and removed myself from my sea of consciousness.
