Chapter 1267: Empower
Sigma_ SSins
The blood sea.
Ming Hao, Xuan He, Frederick, and Shi Yan were floating outside the forbidden island. They were quarreling about Bloodthirsty鈥檚 remains. They couldn鈥檛 conclude anything yet.
"The Ring Spirit can recognize his remains. The more pieces it gets, the better its sensibility can become," Shi Yan said, shaking his arm. "I have two pieces now. Should we ask the Thousand Fantasy Sect, the Broken Hall, and the Heaven River Temple to take them back?"
"When you enthrone, we will do that. It shouldn鈥檛 be a problem," said Xuan He.
"Enthrone?" Ming Hao鈥檚 dark eyes were cold as he said, "I don鈥檛 agree. What does he have to enthrone?"
"If five Chiefs agree that he will become the Master, he鈥檒l be the newly-elected Master. When Senro, Lao Luo, and Gru were still alive, we had confirmed this. You were there too. Do you plan to not follow that protocol?" Frederick bellowed, his face ferocious.
"I will do what I鈥檝e agreed to do. But we have only three chiefs now. We haven鈥檛 selected the other chiefs. It鈥檚 the God鈥檚 will whether he can get the position or not.
Ming Hao didn鈥檛 want to talk to them more. His figure vanished like the smoke.
Although he had left, his voice still came to their ears. "We鈥檒l be in charge of the formation of our islands and we鈥檒l prepare for the chief selection of the Destruction, Dark, Despair, Corrosion, and Chaos islands."
"I鈥檓 on it," Frederick nodded to Shi Yan and then disappeared.
Xuan He smiled and explained, "We need five Chiefs to recognize you. That鈥檚 how you can be the next Master. Of course, Frederick and I will agree. Thor and Benton will compete for the Chief positions of the Dark and Corrosion Forces. They鈥檙e at Second Sky of Incipient God Realm. It shouldn鈥檛 be a big problem for them..."
Xuan He carefully explained to Shi Yan the protocol they had approved that year. He had also mentioned Yang Tian Emperor. "If he can become the chief of the Despair Force, we鈥檙e done. But there鈥檚 a guy at Incipient God Realm in the group of Despair power. He鈥檚 not Frederick鈥檚 or my warrior. We think he follows Ming Hao."
"Despair power Upanishad!" Shi Yan鈥檚 eyes brightened. He grinned, "Let鈥檚 go to that island. I have a method to help my great-grandfather get the Chief position!"
Xuan He was surprised as he gazed at Shi Yan and then nodded. "Great!"
Two flows of light flashed and fell on the Despair Island. This island had dozens of warriors cultivating Despair power Upanishad. Yang Tian Emperor was one of them. He was standing in a far corner of the island and watching someone far from him. His eyes sparkled with fighting desire.
That person was a member of the Ghost Mark Clan with cyan tattoos covering his entire body and face. He looked glum and sinister. With the First Sky of Incipient God Realm cultivation base, he gave people a strange feeling of despair and loneliness with a feeble vitality. He was sitting in the corner while people could hear the white bones around him screeching and shrieking mournfully as if they were struggling in desperation.
Yang Tian Emperor had considered him his target. He had aimed at that expert. The aura of an extreme warrior burst out from him as his Immortal Demon Blood burned.
Although he was at First Sky of Ethereal God Realm, his body had the blood of the Immortal Demon clan. He used to absorb the Blood Essence Crystal. The tenacious level of his body was extraordinary. Compared to that Ghost Mark warrior, if nothing unexpected happened, he could gain the upper hand with his body. However, because of the big gap between their realms, his overall competence was much weaker than Shi Yan鈥檚.
"Great-grandfather," Shi Yan called him quietly.
Yang Tian Emperor was surprised. He lifted his head and couldn鈥檛 help but scream. "When did you arrive?"
"I鈥檝e just arrived," Shi Yan smiled. His Soul Consciousness covered the entire Despair Island. He recognized the realms of the warriors on this island.
"We鈥檙e about to compete for the Chief position. Anyone who doesn鈥檛 want to join, please leave the island and go to Ming Hao鈥檚 island, Frederick鈥檚 island or my island to wait there. After we get the results, you guys can return." Xuan He didn鈥檛 land. He was floating above the small island as he shouted.
"Previously, we didn鈥檛 care about life or death in the competition for the Chief position. But it鈥檚 different now. Today, the number of the descendants of the Eight Great Inheritances have been reduced greatly. Thus, if you think that your power isn鈥檛 great enough to fight, you can give up the match by leaving the island while you鈥檙e competing. Your opponent will not kill you. Of course, if you want to be persistent with your battle even though you know you can鈥檛 endure it, you can鈥檛 blame anybody if you die..."
Xuan He indifferently explained the rules. While he was talking, many low-realm warriors began to leave to the Death, Soul Control, and Corpse Qi islands.
Most of the warriors cultivating Despair power Upanishad had left quickly.
After Xuan He finished introducing the rules, there were only five warriors staying including Yang Tian Emperor at First Sky of Ethereal God Realm, the lowest realm, three Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm, and the Ghost Mark expert at First Sky of Incipient God Realm.
The three at Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm planned to use the magical features of Despair power Upanishad to leap the realms and defeat that expert to get the leader position.
They were confident. After listening to Xuan He, they thought that if they couldn鈥檛 endure it, they could leave before their competitors can kill them.
While the others were leaving, Shi Yan was carrying out his plan in the corner of the island.
After he talked to Yang Tian Emperor for a while, he asked him to sit down and relax to receive the power from Senro.
Yang Tian Emperor followed him immediately. As soon as Yang Tian Emperor sat down cross-legged, the Ring Spirit sent out marvelous energy fluctuations. The Essence of Senro鈥檚 power Upanishad that the Ring Spirit had collected before had turned into an energy stream that poured on Yang Tian Emperor鈥檚 head and entered his soul altar.
Yang Tian Emperor lifted his head to look at Xuan He. He winked at him to signal him to seize a little more time.
Xuan He gave him a slight nod. He also looked at Yang Tian Emperor鈥檚 head and contemplated. After a while, Xuan He looked upset as he sighed.
He could feel Senro鈥檚 aura from that energy stream. Although Senro, the Chief of Despair Force, was extreme and odd, he had a good friendship with Xuan He. As the aura from Senro was so pure and magical, it told him one thing: Senro was utterly gone.
Although he knew Senro had fallen for a long time, he couldn鈥檛 verify it. But today, seeing Senro鈥檚 Incipient Extent and the energy stream of his power Upanishad and energy, he had grief.
Right at this moment, Ming Hao鈥檚 voice arose. "When will we start?"
After his voice ceased, he appeared by Xuan He and said, "I鈥檝e arranged the Chaos Island and Destruction Island properly. When the three of us signal, the competition for the chief position will begin. Frederick is done with the Dark Island and the Corrosion Island. We鈥檙e waiting for you."
"Greetings, my benefactor," the Ghost Mark expert who had kept his eyes shut this entire time suddenly said. He stood up and welcomed Ming Hao.
Ming Hao squinted and gave him a slight nod. "Do your best to get the Chief position. You鈥檒l repay my favor that ways. Make some effort."
"Baku will not fail your expectations," said the other respectfully.
Xuan He stooped to see that man, snorted, and then said, "Almost ready. You have an early arrangement. It seems like you want Baku to become the Despair Chief."
Ming Hao didn鈥檛 change his countenance. "Haven鈥檛 you and Frederick arranged for Benton and Thor to compete for the Corrosion and Dark Chief positions? If you can arrange such a thing, I can also do the same. Let鈥檚 see whose arrangement is better."
He coldly glanced at Shi Yan, his eyes uncertain. He then looked at the Blood Vein Ring. Afterward, his body flashed and he left the island.
The Despair energy emitted from Yang Tian Emperor turbulently as if he had sunk into a vast sea of desperation. His face looked savage as he was struggling in pain. His soul seemed to have left the bind of his body.
Shi Yan stood by him to guard him. His cold eyes glared at the four other experts cultivating Despair power Upanishad.
Except for Baku who didn鈥檛 change his visage, the other three experts at the Peak of Ethereal God Realm were surprised. They looked at Yang Tian Emperor and felt a little wary of him.
They had recognized that the most exquisite and terrifying energy fluctuation of Despair power was his. This kind of energy fluctuation had gripped their minds and subdued their Despair power Upanishad. It was the fear people felt when they saw the experts at the higher realm.
They closed their eyes to sense. They were scared, so they made up their minds that when the competition began. They were going to their best to avoid Yang Tian Emperor.
A magical light shot out of Xuan He鈥檚 eyes. He quietly nodded. Now, when he looked at Yang Tian Emperor, he had respect for the warrior.
After a while, Yang Tian Emperor roared like a beast, Immortal Demon Blood boiling in his body. He woke up, his eyes crimson like blood. He took a deep breath to calm down and said to Shi Yan, "It鈥檚 okay now."
Shi Yan looked at him and found that he was still at First Sky of Ethereal God Realm. However, the energy fluctuations from him were really wonderful and it was still rising. It seemed like he was fusing with tremendous power. After each second, he became stronger.
"Do you need... more time?" said Shi Yan.
"No need," Yang Tian Emperor shook his head and grinned arrogantly. "If I get more time, the battle won鈥檛 be difficult anymore. It will be tasteless. At this moment, my realm and power haven鈥檛 fused completely. I鈥檓 in a bad situation. Fighting in such conditions is really enjoyable, you know. It will satisfy me."
Shi Yan was surprised. "Alright."
He floated up to the sky, hovering by Xuan He and talking to him. "We can start now."
Moving further, he found that candidates for the chief position on the Dark Island, Destruction Island, Chaos Island, and Corrosion Island were waiting in silence. All of them had brutal auras. They were ready to fight and shed their blood for the chief position.
Fei Lan and Leona were staying by the Corrosion and Dark Islands and waiting in worry. The ones they loved were about to compete there.
"Ming Hao, Frederick, we can start now!" Xuan He suddenly shouted, his voice piercing through the blood clouds like thunderclaps reverberating above the islands in the blood sea.
Ming Hao and Frederick shouted back to him. In their shouts like the dragon or the tiger roar, the blood sea became to surge. Many vortexes in the sky began to spin.
Their shouts seemed to activate some magical formations that changed the blood sea.
