Inside the Alters Treasure Bulding.
The three men ruffled through the many rooms of the building. Even after searching for hours, not a single treasure was found. The Sky Emperors expression was especially ugly.
Even though he felt he has searched what seemed to be thousands of rooms, the building seemed to… never end. Looking out to the hall to gaze at the Grand Patriarch and Patriarch, he immediately disappeared.
"Patriarchs of the Xi Clan, I hope this pointless search is not a deception of yours. This 'God Alter' appears to not have any treasure in sight. I presume that I have been tricked?"
The Grand Patriarch and Patriarch looked up nervously.
"This is not as you think, Sky Emperor, this is the Goddess of Bloods Alter with a doubt. Had this been a trick, our previous patriarchs would have definitely noticed. I believe a requirement of some sort has to be met."
The Sky Emperor snorted.
"I don't have so much free time as to dedicate it to fruitless searching. I shall leave the task to you two dogs. I hope to have results by the dawn of tomorrow should you two feel the need to keep your heads."
The Grand Patriarchs expression changed.
"That is an unreasonable request, Sky Emperor."
The Sky Emperor laughed.
"What's reasonable or not is not up to your decision, don't forget your place here, patriarch."
He turned to the entrance in the far distance. This hallway of doors seemed to last forever. Though the tall ceilings gave it an open floor plan, it did nothing to hide the feeling of emptiness the building seemed to have embodied.
"Oh, so it is Sky Emperor?"
A strange voice sounded behind them. Though at the same time, that voice sounded familiar.
The Sky Emperor turned around.
Seeing a crimson beauty in-front of him, his eyes lit up.
"It seems you are the spirit of this place that is hoarding the treasures?"
He pulled out a spear.
"I would ask you to hand them over, our sacrifices to your masters alter have already been provided."
This spear was silver in color. The head of the spear was obsidian black in color. A white snake curled around the staff as it seemed to be shallowing the obsidian tip, the snakes eyes a Sky blue that glowed occasionally. This was the Sky Society's treasured weapon, the Herald of Feng.
While the Sky Emperor may have not noticed the similarities this 'Alter Spirit' had to the person they just sacrificed, the Grand Patriarch and Patriarch did.
"Xi Meiying!?" They both exclaimed in shock.
The Sky Emperor noticed their surprise as he also started to notice the similarities between them.
"Hahaha, so it was you that got the inheritance?"
Seeing the aura Xi Meiying gave off still at the Emperor Stage, he felt relieved. All he had to do was kill Xi Meiying and find out how she obtained the inheritance, then with his peak Grand Qi Stage, he should be able to enter the Commandant Stage!
The Sky Emperor turned to face them. Both the Grand Patriarch and Patriarch had expressions of fear frozen in their face.
"What? It matters not if she has a God Inheritance if she is still weak!"
The Sky Emperor turned and rushed towards her. Bring his spear to his side, he gather wind qi, forming a vortex around the head of the spear. Xi Meiying looked at it, slowly circulating her Blood Qi.
Immediately after, Xi Meiying felt uncontrollable bloodlust emerge from within her.
'Don't think that just knowing how to use my power is the same as being able to handle it. You should use this battle in here as practice.'
Xi Meiying shook herself awake from that state.
'I'll be fine'
She raised her hand in front of her to receive the Sky Emperors strike. The Sky Emperor noticed this and couldn't help but sneer inwardly as he thought to himself.
'It doesn't matter how much power she gained, I have experience'
The Sky Emperor brought down the Herald of Fang as it pieced towards Xi Meiyings hand.
Xi Meiying gathered blood around her hand, and it covered it like a glove. As the spear came into contact with Xi Meiyings hand, it halted to a stop. The Sky Emperor who was expecting Xi Meiying to be cut into two, frowned. Xi Meiyings blood suddenly started climbing up the spear towards him. The Sky Emperor released the Herald of Feng as he retreated backwards.
"Hahaha! Such magnificent power! This is what a God inheritance is!"
He raised his hands up.
"Sky Manta!"
The atmosphere began to shake as violent winds blew in all directions. Xi Meiying raised up her hand as ice formed a tall wall in front of her. Though this ice wasn't normal. Instead of the originally blue ice, this ice was a dark red, almost crystal like. Even with the extreme force of the wind, the ice wall remained unmoveable. As time went on though, Xi Meiyings bloodlust only increased, serving her with the urge to go insane. The Goddess of Blood smiled within her mind, her eyes already viewing Xi Meiying as her daughter. Seeing her shaking, she whispered in her mind.
'It's only your first time really using your power, you should experience what true pleasure feels like. Allow it to drive you, but don't like it control you'
"Ughh"
She grabbed her head as her eyes shone redder. Her hair started to float behind her, as blood slowly start seeping out from her back.
'You are my daughter now, my power is now apart of you. You can't fight your true nature, let yourself go'
Blood started covering her as two blood wings sprouted out of her back. Blood seemed to ooze out of the floor as it created a blood backdrop.
Seeing Xi Meiyings vulnerability, the Sky Emperor immediately attacked.
"Airs Rain!"
Thousands of Air bullets formed invisibly in the airspace around him, then shooting at speed faster than the eye could see towards Xi Meiying.
Xi Meiying still remained struggling, as she groaned and shook. The air bullets immediately arrived before her, striking her hundreds of times.
The Sky Emperor smiled, watching the bleeding Xi Meiying collapse to the floor, her blood wings almost serving no purpose.
The Grand Patriarch and Patriarch watched in awe as they have never seen a battle of a Grand Qi Stage practitioner.
The Goddess of Blood her in head smiled.
'Now things get fun~'
All of sudden hysterical laughing rang out.
Xi Meiying stood up, almost like a raising zombie from the dead, as blood poured from her, making her covering her face to look like she just jumped into a pool full of blood. Though agony was the last thing in her mind, as she was taking pleasure in the immense pain she was feeling. She felt power coursing through her, her desires something even she could never imagine. She looked up to the floating Sky Emperor with bloodlusted eyes.
The Sky Emperor felt the pressure emanating from Xi Meiying increase exponentially, as he frowned and said.
"These injuries may give you power, but you could only last so long!"
He rushed again towards Xi Meiying, forming a wind scythe. Xi Meiying still didn't move as her eyes widened in excitement. Her smile never leaving her face.
*Slash*
The Scythe plunged through Xi Meiyings chest, as it attached on to her like a hook, the tip of the blade appearing on the other side of her back. Blood endlessly poured out from in front and behind her, as the Sky Emperor plunged the scythe further in. Xi Meiying laughed, and she wouldn't stop laughing. Even with a scythe in her chest, her smile never faded. She brought her face towards his, whispering in his ear.
"I love it~ it's too bad this is all I will get."
She pierced her arm towards his heart. The Sky Emperor realized this as he tried to jump back to escape. Missing his heart, Xi Meiying grabbed onto his rib cage as she ripped one of them out.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The Sky Emperor screamed as he retreated. After he gained enough distance, he tried to heal himself, but he realized his own blood was eating away at the skin around his exposed body. He then felt someone grab his arm. Looking to his side, he saw that Xi Meiying had suddenly appeared. She gripped his arm tightly as she giggled and ripped it off cleanly. The Sky Emperor screamed as he shot towards the Grand Patriarch and Patriarch, who were frozen watching in horror.
Xi Meiying brought the amputated arm to her nose as she inhaled the scent of the fresh blood. Accompanied by the screams of suffering from the emperor, she couldn't help but shake in pleasure.
Using his remaining arm, The Sky Emperor summoned his life saving treasure, a teleportation talisman that would immediately send him to the heart of the Sky Society. As he sent his qi into it, the talisman still didn't burn.
Seeing the Sky Emperors face, Xi Meiying laughed harder.
"We are in a different plane, there is only one way in and out, though for you, the only way out is death~"
The Sky Emperor saw the entrance in the distance, understanding his situation. He would have to be outside of the talisman to work.
"You two! Delay her while I call in my elders from outside!" The Sky Emperor screamed as he held his shoulder with the missing arm.
The Sky Emperor flew past the Grand Patriarch and Patriarch as he made his way straight for the entrance.
The Grand Patriarch and Patriarch stood still. Sweat trickling down their faces.
How were they supposed to deal with a person even the Sky Emperor couldn't deal with!?
"Master~"
Xi Meiying called out. And although her voice was cheerful and seductive, the Grand Patriarch knew better.
"Ahhh, I can't wait to see your face once I'm done with you~"
The Grand Patriarch nearly collapsed, as fear kept him from moving any muscle. Seeing Xi Meiying focus on the Grand Patriarch, the Patriarch took off, trying to follow the Sky Emperor. But before he could do that, both of his legs were ripped off. His momentum was retained as he went flying, crashing onto the floor as he created a pool of blood. Looking up at Xi Meiying holding both of his legs, he never even saw her move.
"I never said you could leave, okay?" Xi Meiying said as she smiled.
She turned to refocus her attention on her 'Master'.
"Make sure to struggle, Master~"
