The emperor stares at the razing, yet still beautiful eyes a few 20 meters away from him. They might be in a residential area of the palace, but it has long been flatten due to the impact of the earlier fights.
The emperor just laughs madly again as he pulls himself up. Not caring about how dirty he looks, or how disheveled his dragon clothes are, he lightly touches his dislocated chin, as if he is feeling no pain. A 'kacha' sound resounded around the palace once again.
Before he can say anything again, everyone, even him and Di Xueyan, feels an irrepressible fear in their hearts.
"-- Badum--"
"-- Badum--"
"-- Badum--"
A pulsating red waves suddenly appears, sounding as if it is a demon's heart beat. Every one who got hit by the pulse feels extremely weak, those who were in colored cultivation clutches their chest tightly while they are already in their knees. Those who had lower cultivations had it worse, as they all vomited blood.
The surrounding turns bloody red with every beat, making the kingdom experience a crimson colored day.
The emperor woke up in his trance and suppress the fear in his heart.
" Finally! Finally! FINALLY!", he shouted like a mad man while laughing crazily as the darkness is already very close in consuming his own rationality and consciousness.
Unlike the slow vanishing of bloods in the floor before , the crimson liquid seems to vanish instantly the moment it touches the ground at this very instance.
The pulsating wave is powerful enough to crush the Ancient Frozen Time Art, making everyone in the palace, except the emperor and Di Xueyan, fell on their knees or rolled in the floor.
Di Xueyan saw how the already injured general Bai looks like he is having the last breath of his life, so she looks at the kneeling Jin Linkai, toss a porcelain bottle containing medicine and signals him to feed the poor general.
Jin Linkai instantly got worried as he saw his future father in law, gasping like a fish out of the waters. He instantly got a hold of the medicine despite of the weakness of his limbs. Since he can't stand up, as the pulsating got stronger and stronger, he has no choice but to crawl a for a good few meters.
He unconsciously looks up and saw how the 50 realm cultivators falling from the air one by one, but unlike their pitiable state, those cultivators still landed gracefully as if they just want to go down, but the light shaking of their white dresses sold them out.
The background became ominously silent, only the pulsating sound that seems to seep in their hearts is the only thing they can hear. They can't even hear the madness that the emperor is shouting about.
The pulsating red wave became even stronger, making those in lower cultivation than green instantly lose their minds.
Jin Linkai saw how those yellow cultivators below are already clutching their heads while roaring in agony.
The pulsation even became stronger making even those green leveled cultivators lose their sanity.
Jin Linkai luckily got ahold of the general and feeds him a medicine just in time. Instantly, a golden light radiates around the general's body, and the fast healing of the general's wound became more and more apparent, it is such a shame that only Jin Linkai saw the miraculous effect, as general Bai is already unconscious and everyone is busy fending the force of the damned pulsating whatever.
Jin Linkai blanked out. Of course he knew about that golden tablet, as they all have 2 same tablets that will only appears if they are already in a very dire situation, as said by Di Xueyan. But he never knew that those seemingly ordinary pills have this kind of effects! Then it dawned to him.
It is a Godly pill!
Di Xueyan saw how grim the situation is. She maybe is lightly affected, but her subordinates had it worse. Now, even if she has no affinity in this damned empire, she can't help but to be worried about those innocent people.
She clicks her hands and instantly, golden pills show up in front of her subordinates, including those white clothed men. Each pill rushes into their mouths without delay, making a golden light appears one after another.
Di Xueyan saw the military soldiers, she can do it with a click of her fingers to her subordinates as she already designated it ahead of time. But seeing those militaries rolling or kneeling on the ground, she just sighs, and decided to use her power.
She spreads her two arms and quickly connected her hands in a coiled manner, instantly a faint golden aura surrounded her hands while beads of sweat trickled in her forehead. She close her eyes calmly and envisioned the golden pills arriving in those militaries' faces and rush in in their mouths. She can feel golden lights burst from one direction to another again while slowly opening her eyes.
The opposing side who were strong enough to witness the scene, begged Di Xueyan, tempting her with generous benefits.
But what can this lousy kingdom gives in exchange for a Godly pill that is very rare even in central region?
Those were the remaining pills that her mother left for her, as she is not even a god, how can she refine those damned things again?
Yes, something rare in the capital can just be easily given by her mother in large quantity as if those were just candies. The problem is, she already ran out of it, and where the hell can she find her mother anyway?
" You deserve this", Di Xueyan calmly stares at the eyes of those pleading shameless dogs without a tinge of mercy, as she remembers the crimes that those shits have committed.
Meanwhile, the whole Black Tortoise Kingdom is enveloped in blood.
The ordinary children cried their hearts out as they felt a strange power forcing outside them. Those parents, who are maybe already too weak to even walk, crawled desperately just to clutch their beloved children in their embrace, as bitter tears fell from their eyes, silently praying to whoever god is in the heaven, to save their children from this torment.
Every ordinary households has the same scenarios, as those parents' hearts clenched tightly at the sight of their children already turning pale while black cracks are already forming in their bodies.
Men and women, embraced their kids while crying at their predicament, cursing whoever the hell made this scene possible.
In a certain ordinary household, a mother is already shaking as she dearly embraces her already convulsing daughter. The hideous cracks in her body is now very apparent while blood is dripping in her seven orifices, making the poor mother's heart hurts so much that she already found it hard to breath. The poor daughter that she has carefully raised. The daughter that she loves too much and she can't bear to lose.
She helplessly watches her daughter's torment while anguishly crying when her daughter suddenly stops convulsing. She feels hope rising in her heart. A tinge of happiness emerge in her teary eyes as she is about to touch her daughters face and try to communicate with her, but she suddenly hears a loud burst and feels a warm liquid spraying in her face. She unconsciously closed her eyes, but opened it when she can't already feels a weight in her arms anymore.
She looks before her and let a very heart wrenching cry when she realized that her once intact daughter suddenly became a meat paste, explaining the bursting sound a while ago and the thick smell of blood around their house.
The mother instantly collapse in the ground while crying mournfully at her sudden lost. No one will cry anguishly and heart breakingly for a child, except for the woman who brought them to see the light of the world.
Because of her heartbreak, she never saw how the blood that spilled in their floor moves into the direction of the palace, as if it has a life.
Every households without cultivation has the same scenarios. Anguish cries breaks one after another. Even if one doesn't know what's happening, they might find themselves unconsciously crying at how those parents mourn for their children.
If only they can see the scene outside, they will be creeped out at the moving clumps of bloods in the street which are heading in the direction of the palace.
The cries lasts for exactly fifteen minutes until light bursts can be heard every where, as if the whole empire is filled with giant bubbles that are bursting in the air. The bloods in the streets multiplied, making the once noisy towns turned quiet.
This has always happens whenever there's a war between the strongs.
People reading the war history will be fascinated by the stories and the result.
What they will read is only the numbers of life casualty, a mere statistic.
And they will then think that since it is a war, life will surely be spent.
What they didn't know and personally experienced were, the heart wrenching cries, the heart break of losing their loved ones and the unwillingness to accept death.
In between the war between the strongs, the innocents are the most pitiable and those who lost too much in life, not the losers.
In the war between the strongs, the innocents are just numbers, like worthless cannon fodders who are not even worthy mentioning, whose lives were taken just because of useless reasons; personal interests, pride and above all, human greed.
