"Since Lu Zhen has escaped, your little village doesn't need to exist anymore!" The man and everyone else started the residents and destroyed everything in sight. In truth, what they were doing was venting. Lu Zhen escaping had soured their moods and this little village could help them release some of their frustration.
"Stop! What are you doing?! Stop!" His Majesty retaliated when seeing these people attacking his people, although his cultivation level was weaker than theirs, he still took them on. It wasn't just His Majesty that was fighting, all his soldiers, knights and court elders fought with their lives on the line. Although their struggles were futile, their bravery and will was noteworthy.
"YOU'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME TO DESTROY MY KINGDOM!" His Majesty shouted as he unleashed everything he had. His actions greatly increased everyone's morale, "We'll fight till the last breath!" All of the Sky Sovereign Kingdom residents struggled fiercely but no matter what they did, it was ineffective against hundreds of King Realm experts.
"Activate the array formation!" The twelve knights took their positions with His Majesty in the middle. The array in the ground lit and a huge golden eagle emerged from it, this eagle was not real but created from energy, it would disappear when their energy had depleted. The golden eagle was majestic and powerful.
SKREECH!!!
Its skreech was so loud that the ground shook and the sky cleared. All the experts watched it with incredulous expression. "How does a rundown place like this have such a powerful array?!" everyone had a hard time believing this. The golden eagle didn't wait idly by for them to return to reality, it attacked. Its huge talons crushed a few of these experts to death.
It flapped its huge wings, creating a violent gale that swept almost everyone away. This bird was in the Unification Realm so taking care of these small fries was easy. "Stand your ground! I don't think they can keep the array activated for long!" As soon as someone shouted these words, the twelve knights and His Majesty vomited mouthfuls of blood.
Their faces were very pale, "Hold on for a bit longer,one attack is all we need to drive off these fuckers!"
The golden eagle sent yet again another attack, almost everyone dodged its razor sharp wings but a few had been turned into minced meat. His Majesty and his followers' expressions were paler than paper, the eagle then looked like it would dissipate at any given moment.
Out of hundreds of experts, about a hundred were left, this showed just how devastatingly powerful Unification Realm experts are and how formidable this array formation was but unfortunately, His Majesty couldn't bring out its full potential.
They were already on their last breaths and were panting heavily, "YOU WILL ONLY DESTROY MY KINGDOM OVER MY DEAD BODY!" His Majesty shouted maniacally, he used the last of his strength to take out two blood drops from his spatial ring.
These drops were carefully placed in porcelain bottles. Once he took them out, boundless energy permeated the air, these were the blood drops Lu Zhen had given him for Mo Zhu's hand in marriage.
The experts could feel the terrifying power within the blood drops. "Stop him! Don't let him activate the formation agai..." it was already too late to change the situation. His Majesty put both drops of blood in the middle of the array.
BOOM!!!
A loud explosion rang out as the array shone with a blinding glow that everyone had to close their eyes, a terrifying aura descended upon everyone that was present.
SKREECH!!!
Some of the experts' heads exploded when they heard this sound, it's too powerful for them to bear."HAHAHA! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!" His Majesty laughed gleefully. He honestly didn't want to use these two precious drops of blood but due to the situation, he had to use them. The eagle slowly emerged from the array like a Phoenix undergoing rebirth.
Its feathers were no longer golden but black, its aura no longer majestic and powerful but destructive and full of killing intent. It looked like it was alive as it didn't immediately attack, it looked at the invaders then the residents of the Sky Sovereign kingdom.
"Is this incident related to Qin Biyu?" it spoke. The eagle was so huge, about five hundred meters in height and size, everyone was terrified by it that they couldn't even speak. "I don't like repeating myself, does this incident have anything to do with Qin Biyu?!" its voice is a bit stern this time.
They nodded involuntarily, "Very well, you can all die now." As soon as it said that, it flapped its wings and flew to the sky, 'Exploding Ants!' The hundred some experts that were left all felt an invincible force tempering with their dantian, they then exploded and only a puddle of blood was left. Seeing this, everyone from the Sky Sovereign kingdom felt their blood run cold, this was one of the most cruel ways to die, they had no sympathy for them of course.
The black eagle then healed His Majesty and some of his subordinates that were still breathing. "I will pay you back for this debt. I'll turn you into a true Royal family, your Kingdom into an Empire." After saying that, he flew higher and higher until he disappeared. Although His Majesty had almost lost everything, he was still excited when he heard what Lu Zhen was promising him and he didn't doubt him in the slightest bit.
"Congratulations Your Majesty!" his knights started congratulating him.
They knew that this was what His Majesty was aiming for, he would soon change the history of the Sky Sovereign kingdom, his ancestors would praise him even in the afterlife. "HAHAHA! THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!" His Majesty was so excited that he laughed hysterically.
…
In the Holy City, within a beautifully decorated Palace, a middle aged man and a beautiful woman sat on their throne. "Husband, any news from Lu Zhen? Have they not captured him yet?" "Patience, I'm sure we'll hear from them soon." they couldn't stop chatting until the City Lord felt something. He looked towards a certain location, his wife also sensed something and looked in the same direction.
Strong winds blew everything away, the stalls were sent flying and the houses collapsed and even the people were sent flying but the winds only blew for a moment then passed. Unfortunately, none of them noticed that this was just the beginning, it was the calm before the storm.
