95 An emperor. (2/2)

It was close to the ledge, and although he couldn't see anyone, he could sense a strange aura permeating there. It was an aura that made him a little apprehensive, although he had no idea why.

He pondered as his eyes glistened and he took a light step. The world shifted as he appeared right at the spot, where he took a big whiff of the aura.

He licked his lips as he spoke with that hair-raising smile.

”Someone was here?”

He felt a little excited as he leapt into the sky and floated there with a haze of grey supporting him. His pupils tightened as the entire world reflected itself into his mind, attempting to find that aura.

A couple seconds passed as he began to scowl with disappointment, though he didn't give up just yet as he waved his hands and yelled.

”If you won't come out then I'll force you! Hahaha! I can test this strange feeling I got now!”

A childish playfulness shrouded his voice as he cried, almost like this was a game. Of course, that wave he performed was something that would instigate despair onto most, as it seemed to shroud the entire ledge with an oceanic blue.

A dense, almost unquenchable aura emerged as a haze of watery mist encompassed the atmosphere and the ground. A vibrant vitality followed, and with this Li Wei's demeanour changed.

A sense of dignity, an overwhelming majesty!

It bellowed, it writhed around him, and the world seemed to hymn with cries of devotion!

*WHOOOSH*

The sky crackled and the clouds got sundered as an unsurpassable azure strung itself around Li Wei. His aura became robust, and that obscure majesty cleared up.

*Wanggg*

His eyes lit with a ghostly fire of azure as two blinding circular halos formed on both his hands. They rotated around his palm, and they brought keen cries of draconic roars that froze the very space around him.

As these shimmered Li Wei felt that odd feeling magnify until it seemed to tell him something. His eyes shined a dangerous light, and with a slow clench, his right fist trembled as that halo surrounding it expanded.

*GUSH*

Then, with a sudden twist, reality distorted as the entire ground and everything within a kilometre radius churned before liquifying. And before it could even be comprehended, a mighty ocean roared tumbling waves around him.

For as far as he could see was this ocean, and as if the ocean was here form the beginning, sea creatures of all kinds leapt in and out the air from the ocean.

Li Wei giggled as he felt an unending stream of power encompass him, one telling him that this ocean could be moved with but a lift of his palm.

What was the ocean? One may underestimate it, but you'd surely be crushed by it if it came tumbling your way.

It is one of the mighty features of nature!

And so, within Li Wei's gaze that seemed to verge onto something much more beastly, a king of beasts in fact, he spotted an odd occurrence not too far away.

This place seemed to be rather chaotic for no apparent reason, as huge ripples kept on echoing on the surface. Li Wei also noticed that these ripples seemed to be travelling away from him, which caused that grin to widen.

He laughed, then appearing above that certain area, he spoke.

”If you don't reveal yourself then I'll be forced to do it for you!”

The ocean seemed to resonate with his words as the entire world reeled. Then, with a disconcerting notion, everything seemed to lock onto that area. A frightening sensation spread around here, as if a massive wave could be set off with but a thought.

The atmosphere tightened and congealed like some sort of unending loop as Li Wei's face began to frown. The ocean trembled with this frown and seemed to be ready to pounce right at that singular location...

”Wait..!”

Nevertheless, a distraught cry soon replied as a sweat riddled woman revealed herself above the tettering waves. Her eyes seemed to shake as she stared at Li Wei as if she was looking at a monster.

Li Wei seemed to be a bit jarred as he saw the sudden entrance of the woman, but he coughed and regained his composure. He, gazing at her, spoke with a serious face.

”Why were you so close to the chamber? Were you perhaps planning to attack Wen Mian again?”

He himself didn't notice the strange mockery that was tinging his voice and expression right now. In fact, his personality seemed to be veering onto something much more quirky.

The woman noticed this mocking tone, and she trembled at the thought of what he was going to do. Still, she gulped and tried to remain calm as she replied.

”I enjoy cultivating in the tranquillity of nature.”

Li Wei frowned as he lowered himself to stand in front of her. The halos around his hands continued to emit draconic cries, and his flaming eyes seemed to have a depth that rivalled an ocean.

In fact, she seemed to have the illusion that she was facing the entire ocean right now, instead of a single man.

She took a step back as she found the pressure emanating from Li Wei to be suffocating. Though coupled with this was the strange all-seeing gaze of his, and it made standing excruciating.

Li Wei's eyes narrowed as he seemed to sense something coming from her, causing his frown to deepen.

”You have a rather bothersome aura...”

He lifted his hand as he spoke, causing the woman to pale even further. She seemed to want to say something, but Li Wei didn't care as he continued.

”Oh yeah, you were one of those people who came with that guy... Well, I hope you enjoy your flight. Hahaha!”

The woman's face turned as she tensed her body and attempted to escape. But, somehow, the air seemed to become a thousand times denser as she barely moved.

'He knows who I am!'
