65 Opening the Phoenix Tomb (1/2)
Inside the Phoenix castle, The Verulyim king, Su Yan, Ghost hands, and Emily stood up the moment that Noble Qian faded away. The Verulyim king looked towards the Firelord and bowed lightly saying: ”We shall take our leave then, fellow Daoist.”
The flames around the litter flitted as a deep voice dictated to the Verulyim king: ”The Li clan shall secure Heaven's Realm have your vassal handle the matter.”
The Verulyim king's eyes narrowed, he held back his concern as he calmly responded: ”Understood...”
The Verulyim's king stepped on the air and gathered electrical energies all around his toga and transformed into a blue beam shooting through the heavens.
Emily and Su Yan did the same turning into a yellow and gold beam following behind the king. The last was the Ghost Hands doctor who turned into a white streak following behind Emily and Su Yan.
Their forms shot out of the Phoenix tower and exited the capital it moments once they approach the wall of steam it automatically parted for them.
The Verulyim king flew across the ocean at supersonic speeds causing huge waves in the sea as he blasted past. Behind him, Emily, Su Yan, and Ghost Hands struggled to follow as they zoomed past the sea.
After traveling a few hundred miles at hypersonic speeds, the Verulyim King suddenly stopped. Intense electrical forces crackled along his body as he scowled menacingly.
Emily, Su Yan, and Ghost Hands caught up after a moment but noticing the King's scowl they stayed a few meters away from him.
”Damn it, if only I had Venerable Thunder's inheritance, I would have been Rank 6 by now! Then that damned Firelord wouldn't dare be disrespectful!” The Verulyim King growled with veins throbbing on his face and a flushed face.
Anger coursed throughout his body filling him with endless rage as lightning continuously crackled on his body.
”Father...” Emily's lip quivered with sadness as she watched her father lose his cool.
Thunder pealed in the sky as currents of lightning burst off the Verulyim king into the sky. The friction and overwhelming lightning turned the white clouds dark and filled them with thousands of volts of energy.
The Verulyim king's eyes crackled with lightning as he loosened his tight fists and stopped gritting his teeth. His angry grimace calmed turning emotionless and dignified in almost an instant.
”It will all be fine as long as I kill him and take his power...” The Verulyim king mumbled to himself as he smirked sinisterly.
The Verulyim king flicked the sleeves of his toga sending out hundreds of mystical runes and enshrouding Emily, Ghost Hands, Su Yan, and himself in the runes.
The runes vibrated and shone with fantastical lights. Their bodies dissipated into space transmitting instantly thousands of miles. Off in the Verulyim capital, the super formation of Nine swords shone with a myriad of colors as it resonated with the runes around the Verulyim king.
The black tower at the center of the Verulyim capital distorted as spatial energies gathered towards the top of the tower. The energies gathered toward a young man, in black Neo Victorian clothes sitting at the top of the tower. Along the young man's face was the tattoo of a long green serpent with purple eyes.
The rampant spatial forces revolved around the young man's body as he suddenly stood up and punched the space above the capital.
Space distorted as it instantly ripped open creating a massive void and suddenly four beams of light shot out from the void. The instant the beams emerged the young man used the remaining spatial energies to close the loophole.
The mystical beams coalesced into the Verulyim king and his followers as they stood in the sky of the Verulyim capital just below the Nine Sword Star barrier surrounding the city.
The Verulyim king coldly looked over at Su Yan and commanded: ”You are to return to the Su Fief and show the Li clan to Heaven's Realm.”
”Understood, your majesty.” Su Yan replied with a dignified bow.
Then he turned to Emily dictated to her: ”You are to stay here and train in the Order.”
”Yes, Father.” Emily politely replied with a small courtesy.
”Thank you for your help, Elder Ghost Hands.” The Verulyim king intoned thankfully as he turned to the ashen old man in white robes.
”It was only a small matter, I need to meet with Arbitrator Feng Shu then I can return to the Sacrament.” Ghost Hands politely replied and turned to fly down to the tower.
The Verulyim king reached out with his palm releasing a torrent of runes and wrapped around Su Yan. These runes were different from the ones he used earlier because they didn't rely on the Nine Sword Star formation and Feng Shu's void serpent.
Instead, it was formed from the Verulyim king's comprehension of heaven and earth law and allow him to shrink space within a short distance.
This technique is the hallmark of a Rank 6 Overlord, the Verulyim king has been half step into Rank 6 for hundreds of years and has already comprehended a sliver of this law.
