Chapter 1042: Nine Dragons
"Who are you?" Cang Xuenu looked at Zhao Fu coldly as she stretched out her hand, and the halberd flew into her grasp.
"Me? I'm the imperial son-in-law of the Lelai Kingdom," Zhao Fu replied as he lightly laughed.
An immense look of hatred immediately appeared in Cang Xuenu's eyes. It could be said that everything that had happened to the Blue Wolf Kingdom was because of Zhao Fu. If it weren't for him, the Blue Wolf Kingdom would not have suffered such a great loss, and it would not have been attacked by the other kingdoms.
Boom!
Cang Xuenu exploded out with a terrifying aura and shot forwards like a bolt of lightning, reaching Zhao Fu's side in an instant. She gripped her halberd with both hands, sending in an immense amount of power, causing it to give off a cold light as she slashed it towards Zhao Fu.
Bang!
Zhao Fu did not even bother looking at her and casually slashed out, causing a massive sword qi to fly out. Cang Xuenu was blasted back and crashed into the ground, coughing up a large mouthful of blood, her face quite pale.
Because of the hatred she felt, she had disregarded the terrifying aura from Zhao Fu's body, which was many times more powerful than hers.
Zhao Fu condescendingly laughed and did not bother with her anymore. Now that the energy barrier had been destroyed, all Zhao Fu had to do was conquer the City Heart to destroy the Blue Wolf Kingdom.
Swish!
Zhao Fu turned into a ray of light and shot into the depths of the City Hall. Cang Xuenu's expression fell, and she also charged into the City Hall and saw Zhao Fu's hand already on the City Heart. She hurriedly cried out, "Wait, as long as you don't conquer it, I'll agree to anything."
Surprisingly, Zhao Fu paused and thought about it. He then turned and smiled, saying, "There's nothing you have that can attract me, and whether or not you can even survive is a different matter. Your royal clan has been captured by the Lelai Kingdom; what can you give me to convince me not to conquer the Blue Wolf Kingdom?"
Cang Xuenu's expression was quite unsightly because she really did have nothing. Facing Zhao Fu's terrifying strength, she had no way to escape either, and even if she used her Nation Armament, it would not be enough. Zhao Fu gave off an aura that caused her to feel immense despair.
"Then what do you want?" Seeing that Zhao Fu had stopped and was smiling, Cang Xuenu was sure that Zhao Fu had some goal in mind.
Zhao Fu lightly laughed and said, "You're quite smart. The Blue Wolf Kingdom has no hope at all, and there are seven Kingdoms attacking it. You've already lost half of your territory, and the Blue Wolf Kingdom will definitely be destroyed, so there's no need to struggle. Now, submit to us! As long as you submit to us, the Blue Wolf Kingdom will still belong to you and I will make you the most prestigious person among the Half-Beast people."
Hearing this, Cang Xuenu immediately understood what Zhao Fu was thinking, and she felt quite curious about Zhao Fu's mysterious identity and his ambition.
"Just who are you?" Cang Xuenu looked at Zhao Fu as she asked. She now felt that Zhao Fu definitely was not some ordinary person; he actually had the ambition to conquer the Half-Beast world. This meant that Zhao Fu had an incredibly terrifying and dangerous identity.
"Haha, it doesn't matter who I am. You have no other choice but to submit to me. Otherwise, I'll conquer the City Heart and capture you, making you beg for death," Zhao Fu laughed as he said with a hint of menace.
Cang Xuenu sank into her thoughts. Did she have to submit to him and become a chess piece to destroy the Half-Beast world?
She felt quite unwilling for her ancestors' hard work to be ruined by her hands; she would be the greatest sinner of the Blue Wolf Kingdom.
Suddenly, Cang Xuenu thought about the three other Kings hurrying over. If the four of them attacked this person, perhaps they would have a chance at saving the Blue Wolf Kingdom. Moreover, she was a Half-Beast person, so she definitely would not help an outsider conquer her own world.
After making this decision, she did not show it and continued to look indecisive. Now, her task was to stall for time and wait for the others.
Zhao Fu waited for a while, and because he had unlocked Perception, one of the Five Celestial Senses, the range of his senses was quite large. At that moment, he sensed three powerful auras heading over. His expression became heavy, and his body suddenly disappeared.
Cang Xuenu was startled and hurriedly unleashed a defensive barrier. However, Zhao Fu stretched out his hand and grabbed at her. The barrier was unable to stop him at all. It instantly shattered, and Zhao Fu's hand grabbed towards Cang Xuenu's throat.
At that crucial moment, Cang Xuenu unleashed her Nation Armament's power, causing a terrifying white flame to burn around her, and an immense power exploded out.
A dragon's roar sounded out from within Zhao Fu's body as he released all of the Great Qin Seal's power. The images of nine black dragons appeared around Zhao Fu.
Bang!
A muffled bang sounded out as Cang Xuenu's throat was grabbed by Zhao Fu, and her body was lifted up by Zhao Fu with a single hand.
Cang Xuenu looked quite terrified; she had never thought that Zhao Fu would be so powerful; a Nation Armament of a true Kingdom could compare to five or six Nation Armaments that belonged to factions that had not yet established Kingdoms. However, Zhao Fu was the King of a Marquisate Kingdom, which had over 10,000 regions, and he had all sorts of other powers. As such, Cang Xuenu was unable to defend against Zhao Fu at all.
Now that Cang Xuenu's throat was grabbed by Zhao Fu, killing her required just a single thought. Cang Xuenu felt the aura of death, and her body trembled in fear.
It was difficult for her to even breathe, and seeing that she could not change the situation, she gasped, "I agree... to submit... to you."
Zhao Fu coldly harrumphed but did not let her go. He stretched out his other hand, causing six balls of demonic qi to flow out, and they continuously twisted around in front of Zhao Fu's palm as if they were alive. Zhao Fu then pressed his hand against Cang Xuenu's abdomen, causing the six balls of demonic qi to fuse into her body.
Only after setting restrictions in her body did Zhao Fu relax. He threw her onto the ground and said coldly, "Hurry up and relocate the City Heart."
After being treated so roughly, Cang Xuenu felt quite wronged and felt some tears coming. When she heard Zhao Fu order her to relocate the City Heart, she felt relieved; at least the Blue Wolf Kingdom would survive in her hands.
They were just relocating the Royal City, so there were not any abnormal signs. Zhao Fu ordered the soldiers to take anything of value before quickly leaving.
Now that Cang Xuenu had surrendered, Zhao Fu naturally took in her City Lords and soldiers as well, but he had to do this secretively.
One of the reasons why Zhao Fu did not decide to conquer the Blue Wolf Kingdom himself was because the abnormal signs from conquering a Kingdom were simply too great and would attract others over.
Moreover, if the Lelai Kingdom conquered the Royal City and obtained massive benefits, the other Grassi Kingdoms would be dissatisfied, and the Half-Beast Kingdoms would make the Lelai Kingdom their main target too.
Chapter 1043: Seven Kingdoms
There were many factions more powerful than Great Qin outside the Legacy Lands, so Zhao Fu wanted to act more low-profile in order to avoid showing too much of his power. If he was attacked by many other factions, things would be quite bad.
In actuality, allying with other factions to attack others was quite good. With how weak the Lelai Kingdom was right now, it was the best choice.
Later, Zhao Fu would spread news that the Lelai Kingdom had obtained nothing, as the Blue Wolf Kingdom's Queen had relocated the Royal City and left already.
After doing all of this, Zhao Fu grinned and continued to give the order to quickly retreat and leave this place.
Following this, the three Kings arrived and saw that it was just an empty City, making them feel quite furious. One of them was angry to the point that he started launching attacks everywhere, destroying the City.
Before, they had agreed with Cang Xuenu to chase out the Grassi people for now before dealing with the Blue Wolf Kingdom.
However, Cang Xuenu had suddenly said that the Royal City was being attacked, so she had quickly returned.
They immediately felt that something was off and tried to stop her. After all, none of them trusted her and didn't want her to pull any tricks, like relocating the Royal City.
However, they had been unable to stop her. Some of her Generals and Corps had covered her, allowing her to run off. After arriving, they found that she had indeed played them and relocated the Royal City.
However, if they were in her shoes, they would have done the same thing. After all, there were seven Kingdoms invading, and the demise of the Blue Wolf Kingdom was guaranteed.
The three other Grassi armies also wanted to come and attack the Royal City, but it would have been quite difficult, so they gave up for now. Now that they heard that the Lelai Kingdom had gone there for nothing and that the Blue Wolf Kingdom's people had already relocated the Royal City and left, they did not care too much.
The seven Kingdoms devoured the Blue Wolf Kingdom's territory like wild beasts, not holding back at all. They quickly conquered Cities and regions, and facing these bandit-like people, the ones who suffered the most were the residents of the Blue Wolf Kingdom.
They could only run about in terror, trying to avoid this disaster. This was the consequence of their Kingdom falling.
In the end, all of the Blue Wolf Kingdom's territory was split by the seven Kingdoms, and the Blue Wolf Kingdom disappeared from the map, fading into history.
Originally, the Blue Wolf Kingdom had 340 regions, and because the Grassi people had attacked quite early on and did not face much resistance, they had obtained greater benefits.
In total, the Grassi people had conquered 230 regions, and each Kingdom had taken 40 or 50 regions, with the Lelai Kingdom taking the fewest. Zhao Fu had done this on purpose in order to reduce the amount of attention placed on them, paving the way for the future.
On the Half-Beast side, they only conquered 110 regions and had suffered quite a bit of losses from fighting. This made them quite angry - they had put in so much effort, yet most of the benefits had been taken by others.
The armies of both sides faced off against each other, their terrifying auras clashing and making everyone tremble as if they had fallen into icy water. All of the birds and beasts had already escaped, and no one dared to leave. The scene was incredibly silent and austere.
"You shameless Grassi people, you can keep the things you stole, but get the hell out of our world."
One of the Half-Beast Kings, a tall man, looked quite furious as he shouted loudly to the Grassi people.
The Grassi side had an advantage in terms of soldiers, City Lords, and Corps, so they naturally did not fear the other side. After attacking the Blue Wolf Kingdom, they had plundered many resources, and all of them had smiles on their faces, feeling quite happy.
Of course, they did not need to return the things they had taken, but they wanted the territory as well. After all, they each only had 200 to 300 regions, and taking even a single region required much effort.
Now, they had taken 40 or 50 regions in one go, which was equivalent to one-sixth or one-fifth of their overall territory; how could they give away such a large piece of meat. Moreover, they had superior numbers, so they did not have to feel afraid.
On the Grassi side, a long-faced King said mockingly in a loud voice, "We took those things for ourselves through our own effort; why should we give them to you? Do you think we're stupid? Plus, this territory doesn't belong to you three!
"All of us are here to steal from others, so stop acting all righteous. If you want it, take it for yourselves. You think we Grassi people are afraid of you?"
The Half-Beast Kings were infuriated, but they did not lose their reason. After all, if both sides fought, they would be at a disadvantage. It was possible that they would lose what they already had and could even lose most of their forces.
"This is the Half-Beast world's territory; as Half-Beast people, we have the right to say this. You shameless people dared to take our territory; aren't you afraid of a war between worlds?" a slightly chubby man yelled.
The Grassi people disdainfully laughed. How could it be so easy to start a war between worlds? Neither side would benefit from such a war, and it would be other worlds that benefitted. As such, they did not worry too much about this.
Zhao Fu stood in the air but did not say much, trying to seem as inconspicuous as possible. He let the three others take the lead and watched the war of words unfold.
After facing off for a few days, fighting still didn't break out between the two sides, as neither side wanted to escalate this matter. If an even more powerful faction became involved, it was possible that they would lose what they already had.
Following this, all of the Kingdoms started to build Great Walls, planning to close off their territories and slowly digest those regions.
After this operation, the Lelai Kingdom's relationship with the other Grassi Kingdoms became better. They were all quite welcoming of Zhao Fu and even invited Zhao Fu to a banquet to celebrate.
Zhao Fu politely refused and went back to the Lelai Kingdom to go through their gains from this operation.
The gained one Royal City, two Capital Cities, 300 or so Great Cities, 300 million people, and ten million Stage 1 soldiers.
Zhao Fu was quite satisfied with these gains. Of course, most of these things had been taken by Zhao Fu secretly; the others did not know about this.
Zhao Fu did not plan to bring most of these things back to Great Qin, and he instead decided to develop the Lelai Kingdom's strength. After all, the Lelai Kingdom was an important piece to Great Qin, so he had to properly develop it.
At the same time, Zhao Fu secretly re-established the Blue Wolf Kingdom within the Lelai Kingdom's territory in order to make preparations for conquering the Half-Beast world in the future.
Zhao Fu was unable to fully conceal this, as Zhao Fu was not the true ruler here. After hearing about this, Le Yuyu was somewhat against it - after all, it was another Kingdom within the Lelai Kingdom's territory, and it had not submitted to the Lelai Kingdom.
Chapter 1044: Ancient Tomb
Zhao Fu gave a detailed explanation to Le Yuyu and told her that he already had Cang Xuenu under his control. It was impossible for her to betray him, and he told Le Yuyu not to worry about the Lelai Kingdom's safety.
After hearing about Zhao Fu controlling Cang Xuenu, Le Yuyu did not seem too pleased and instead seemed quite jealous. She lightly hit Zhao Fu a few times, saying, "You're too fickle and unfaithful. You're not happy with just Us and Our daughter and want even more women."
Zhao Fu felt quite startled and did not understand what Le Yuyu meant. Only after asking did he realize that she thought that he had taken control over Cang Xuenu in the same way he had with her, using desire to control her. Not only could she not betray Zhao Fu, she always begged Zhao Fu to have his way with her.
This caused Zhao Fu to laugh, and he explained that he was not such a licentious person; he was actually quite pure. In response, Le Yuyu looked quite doubtful.
Afterwards, Zhao Fu told Le Yuyu to properly develop the Lelai Kingdom, increase her strength, and help the Blue Wolf Kingdom recover.
This was all for Great Qin to directly conquer the Grassi world and Half-Beast world after the Heavenly Domain Boundary disappeared.
However, he seemed to be missing something - Zhao Fu had seemed to have forgotten about the Elf world next to the Grassi world. He had a piece in the Half-Beast and Grassi worlds, but he also needed one in the Elf world for the future.
If Great Qin attacked the Grassi world, the two worlds on either side would not just sit there and watch. They would definitely try to attack Great Qin. As such, he had to set up a piece in the Elf world as well to prepare for the future.
After leaving the Lelai Kingdom, Zhao Fu went directly to the Elf world and collected as much information as he could. Wanting to set up a piece here would not be easy, and he could not just do it casually.
There were various requirements, such as potential. It had to have a high ceiling and be a Kingdom. Zhao Fu did not want to bother with factions that weren't even Kingdoms.
Another thing was that the faction had to be low-profile, making it difficult for others to discover. This would make it easier for Great Qin to secretly control it and fulfill Great Qin's goals.
It also had to be easily controlled; if the faction was too stubborn, it would be difficult to control and could expose Great Qin's plans.
There were also some other prerequisites, such as location, relations with other Kingdoms, and internal affairs.
As such, finding a suitable piece was quite complicated. It had to be done with a lot of preparation, so Zhao Fu had to collect a large amount of information.
A few days later, after much thought, Zhao Fu picked a target. Just as he prepared to go, he passed by a City that seemed quite chaotic. After asking around, he heard that there was an ancient tomb that had many good things a few hundred kilometers away.
Someone had obtained an Epic grade equipment from there, which was worth millions of gold coins. This was quite attractive to City Lords, so there were many people hurrying there from the City.
After hearing about this, Zhao Fu felt quite interested, but because he had things to do, he did not plan on going. However, the Clear Sable Sword within the Sword Mark slightly trembled as if it was telling Zhao Fu to go.
This was the first time it had reacted in such a way. Before, the Clear Sable Sword had been the second-ranked sword out of China's Ten Great Swords, and it had actually existed in history. It was not as fantastical as the Regulus Sword, but it was still a treasured sword only found in legends and had powerful spirituality.
It seemed that there was something that attracted it, so Zhao Fu thought about it and asked for the location of the ancient tomb before turning into a ray of light and flying over.
Within a valley, there were tens of thousands of people chaotically fighting. There was a cave mouth on a cliff face. Occasionally, ten or so rays of light would shoot out, and everyone would fight over them. Those rays of light were all treasures, and they were at least Gold grade and some were even Legendary grade.
Some people had entered the cave, and those outside were not very strong and did not have many allies. Four or five City Lords gave off powerful auras and stood guard around the cave mouth, stopping people from looking into the cave mouth.
Boom!
A powerful aura descended from the sky as an Elf wearing gold clothes appeared. Looking at the chaotic scene, his expression was cold as he said with a trace of arrogance, "I'm the Third Young Master of the Muse family. All of you scram; this area will be governed by the Muse family in the future."
After hearing the name of the Muse family, everyone's faces fell. The Muse family was the most prestigious family in this Kingdom, and their authority was not inferior to the royal clan.
However, the Muse family was simply too domineering!
This was evidently a treasure trove with no owner, and they had not even entered, only waiting outside for some things that had been missed. And yet, they did not even allow this and claimed this place to be theirs.
Everyone felt quite angry, but thinking about how terrifying the Muse family was, they could only endure it. Opposing the Muse family was almost equivalent to the Kingdom. They would only do such a thing if they wanted to die.
Seeing that these people were slow to react, killing intent flashed in the eyes of the young man as he said, "You peasants deserve to die!"
Swish, swish, swish...
The young man in gold clothes waved his hand, causing ten massive leaves to shoot out. Countless people were sliced in half at the waist, causing pained cries to sound out and blood to fly everywhere. In just an instant, thousands of people had died.
The remaining people did not dare to remain and hurriedly ran away.
The City Lords standing guard at the entrance had grim looks on their faces. They looked at each other, and one of them stepped up and bowed before saying, "Third Young Master, Lord Keli is inside searching for treasures. This place is the territory of Lord Keli..."
Pa!
A slap sounded out as the City Lord who spoke was sent flying backwards, half of his face completely swollen.
The gold-clothed young man coldly laughed as he said, "Who does Keli think he is? Can he contend with the Muse family? You dare to use him to try to scare this young master? If you try that again, this young master will have your life."
The face of the City Lord who had been slapped was incredibly red, and he suppressed his anger and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
The other City Lords also lowered their heads and retreated to the side.
The gold-clothed young man coldly laughed, and just as he was about to fly into the cave mouth, something unexpected happened.
Boom!!
A river-like aura descended from the sky, making everyone feel as if they had fallen into a demon abyss. Their bodies and souls felt terror, and the gold-clothed young man's expression changed. He turned to see that a black-cloaked figure had appeared in the sky.
The cloaked-figure waved his hand, causing the gold-clothed young man and the City Lords to be blasted back. They crashed onto the ground and coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
The ordinary Elves running away saw this and began running away even faster. Someone even more powerful had come, and he did not put even the gold-clothed young man in his eyes.
Chapter 1045: Berserk Killing Intent
The gold-clothed young man crashed onto the ground and shouted at Zhao Fu, "Do you know who I am? You dared to harm me; the Muse family won't let you off. You're screwed!"
Zhao Fu stood in the air and disdainfully laughed. Why would Zhao Fu fear a large family from a Barony Kingdom? If it was a Dukedom Kingdom, Zhao Fu perhaps would have felt apprehensive, but this young man was nothing to him.
Since he wanted to die, Zhao Fu would satisfy him.
Boom!!
Zhao Fu stretched out a hand and grabbed at the air, causing space to seem to explode. A massive formless hand gripped the young man, who became terrified. He was absolutely unrestrained within this Kingdom, and he had never thought that someone would dare to kill him.
Bang!
Just as the gold-clothed young man was about to say something, the formless hand tightened, causing him to explode and turn into a bloody mist. Only an Official Seal remained.
This Official Seal was useless to Zhao Fu, and it did not have the effects of an abandoned City Lord Seal. Otherwise, Zhao Fu could have at least used it to fuse into beasts to make them stronger.
The nearby City Lords were terrified and obediently knelt on the ground, not daring to move at all. That person hadn't hesitated dared to kill the gold-clothed young man, so he definitely looked down on the Muse family's power. How could they dare to offend such a person?
Moreover, even if they wanted to attack, they did not have the strength. They were not as strong as the gold-clothed young man, who had been instantly killed by that person.
Zhao Fu glanced at them, and seeing that they were tactful, he did not make a move against them. He did not need to worry about his identity because he was only passing by here. He most likely would not return, and those who had run away already knew to stay away.
Facing Zhao Fu's gaze, which seemed to be like that of a terrifying evil beast's, the City Lords' bodies trembled, and they felt incredibly fearful. How could such a terrifying person suddenly appear? This was simply too shocking.
Zhao Fu turned into a ray of light and directly passed them, flying into the mouth of the cave.
Inside, there was a road paved with bricks, and there were some carvings on the walls. A cold aura rushed out from within; this indeed seemed to be an ancient tomb.
Zhao Fu ignored these and continued to fly into the depths of the ancient tomb. Finally, he arrived at a large hall. This hall was hundreds of meters tall and over 1,000 meters wide. The walls were blood-red as if they had been painted using fresh blood, and they gave off a gory stench.
This made Zhao Fu feel quite surprised; before, Zhao Fu had thought that he would run into a few people, such as Lord Keli.
However, after going in, he only saw a heap of corpses and no living people. At the center of the hall, there was a vertical rift from which bloody qi continuously flowed out.
Swish, swish, swish...
Ten or so rays of light flew out from within the rift. Zhao Fu stretched out his hand, sending a wave of energy out that created a formless wall that blocked those lights. The lights were soon revealed to be treasures, all of them being Gold grade equipment. They were all quite ancient as well.
Facing this scene, Zhao Fu felt quite surprised. Moreover the corpses around him were proof that the things in front of him were not as safe as they seemed.
Just as Zhao Fu went up to take a look at the rift, the rift suddenly exploded out with a powerful attractive force, sucking him in.
Zhao Fu's surroundings blurred as he came to another world. This world was completely blood-red, and the sky was covered with cracks, making it seem like it was going to fall at any moment. The ground was also split, and there was thick blood flowing everywhere. It was a scene of utter desolation and deathly silence.
Suddenly, the boundless bloody qi flowed towards Zhao Fu as if it had a consciousness. Zhao Fu's gaze became serious as he unleashed his Emperor's Domain to keep that bloody qi outside.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill..."
At that moment, a intense killing intent filled Zhao Fu's brain, making him feel as if his head was going to split apart. A berserk killing intent exploded out of him like a wild gale. Zhao Fu's eyes became blood-red, and a blood-red flame appeared around him.
The Clear Sable Sword within the Sword Mark excitedly trembled, giving off clear sword hums, and a powerful blood-red light filled the Sword Mark region.
The other sword spirits' expressions fell because they could sense the Clear Sable Sword absorbing that berserk killing intent, and it was slowly corroding them too.
"Roar..." Dragons' roars sounded out from within Zhao Fu's body as the Great Qin Seal started to protect its master. It gave off Nation Power as Zhao Fu's Sovereign Bloodline also quickly devoured that berserk killing intent, and the phoenix crystal within his body also gave off a large amount of golden light.
Within the Sword Mark, the other sword spirits gave off their own powers, causing powerful sword lights to pierce through the Sword Mark, and Zhao Fu's right hand seemed to have countless traces of sword light shooting out of it.
Luckily, Zhao Fu was able to suppress the killing intent, and his eyes soon returned to normal. His back was covered with sweat, and he felt slightly scared.
That killing intent had been way too terrifying; he had blocked off the bloody qi, but the killing intent had still made its way in and had almost caused him to become a monster that only knew killing.
Moreover, that killing intent was not something that ordinary people would be able to endure. Those who were weaker would have their bodies immediately collapse, and even their spirits would be destroyed.
This was the reason for the heap of corpses outside - those people had most likely accidentally breathed in some of the bloody qi, and their bodies had collapsed because they had been unable to withstand that terrifying killing intent.
Zhao Fu had calmed down, but the Clear Sable Sword within the Sword Mark was still abnormally excited and continued to rampantly devour the berserk killing intent.
The Clear Sable Sword had been a sword of kindness, and it was not used to kill people. Because of this, Zhao Fu had been unable to kill people, and whenever he did, his heart would ache. As such, Zhao Fu had converted it into a sword of killing.
There was a saying that only trees that had its roots in hell could reach heaven and grow the purest flowers; in the same way, only a tree from heaven would be able to create the evilest fruits.
Zhao Fu understood this and understood why the Clear Sable Sword was so excited.
Shing!
Suddenly, a ferocious blood-red sword light containing immense power slashed at Zhao Fu from the left, and the air seemed to be cleaved in half.
Zhao Fu's gaze slightly changed, and he stretched out his left hand, causing nine black dragons to float out of his body, and the Emperor's Domain became ten or so times more powerful.
Boom!
The blood-red sword light slammed against the black energy barrier, resulting in a massive sound as shockwaves rippled out.
Crack!
A clear cracking sound could be heard as a few small cracks appeared on Zhao Fu's Emperor's Domain, and the blood-red sword light dissipated.
Zhao Fu turned and saw a figure to his left. It was a middle-aged Elf who looked quite strange. His eyes were blood-red, and there were fangs coming out of his mouth. His gaze was cold as he looked at Zhao Fu with his head cocked to the side.
His body gave off a powerful bloody qi, and he held a blood-red sword. That blood-red sword had a few tentacles that had tunneled into the Elf's arm, causing him to fuse with the sword.
Zhao Fu understood that this person was 'Lord Keli,' but now that he looked like this, he had been fully controlled by the killing intent.
Chapter 1046: Killing Sword World
At that moment, the golden dragon suddenly thought of something and said, "I understand what's going on - this is the Killing Sword World."
Zhao Fu was quite confused, as he had never heard of this before. Just as he was about to ask, the Elf once again attacked - his body blurred and suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Fu. He raised the blood-red sword and hacked down at Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu immediately retreated, and as the sword hit the ground, a massive force spread out, causing the ground to crack. Rocks flew everywhere as an enormous crater appeared.
After missing, the Elf kicked off the ground and turned into a black blur as he continued to attack Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu coldly harrumphed and took out the Death Disaster Sword. He sent a massive amount of Emperor's Power into it, causing it to give off an intense light, and it gave off shocking deathly qi as it slashed out.
The Elf completely disregarded this and rushed over, slashing out a red sword light towards Zhao Fu.
Bang!
A muffled explosion sounded out as the Elf was blasted backwards. Even though the bloody qi had increased his battle strength, Zhao Fu was much more powerful, so the Elf was not a match for him at all.
The Elf crashed onto the ground and coughed up a large mouthful of blood before standing back up.
Boom!
An even more powerful aura exploded out as a blood-red flame appeared around the Elf, and the bloody qi in the surroundings started to flow towards him.
The golden dragon hurriedly said, "Hurry up and kill him, or things will become problematic."
Zhao Fu nodded and stretched out a hand towards the Elf. His golden pupil in his left eye dilated and started to quickly spin.
Clang, clang, clang...
Chains containing immense power flew towards the Elf as the Elf continuously dodged and slashed out, sending out blood-red arcs of sword light that destroyed the incoming chains.
However, even more chains flew towards him, and the Elf roared as the blood-red flames around him became even stronger. He ferociously slashed out, causing over 1,000 sword lights to fly out and cut apart the countless chains.
Chi!
At that moment, Zhao Fu suddenly appeared behind him and pierced his heart with his sword. However, the Elf immediately slashed at Zhao Fu backhanded.
This made Zhao Fu feel quite shocked - he had clearly pierced the Elf's heart, so how could he still move as if he was still fine? What was going on?
Facing this backhanded strike, Zhao Fu leapt backwards ten or so meters.
The golden dragon explained, "He's in the First Transformation of the Sword Obsession state. Only by destroying his body will you be able to kill him; otherwise, you won't be able to stop him."
Bang!
Just as the golden dragon finished speaking, the Elf once again attacked. Zhao Fu coldly harrumphed and raised the Death Disaster Sword, exploding out with all of his power. A gray light shot into the sky as Zhao Fu slashed down.
Boom!!
As the terrifying sword light flashed out, everything in his surroundings seemed to be slashed apart as the Elf's body was devoured by the attack. After everything settled, there was a 1,000 meter long sword gash on the ground, and the Elf had been reduced to bits and pieces.
"What were you saying about the Killing Sword World?" Now that he had killed the Elf, Zhao Fu had the time to talk to the golden dragon.
The golden dragon replied, "This is a matter from a long time ago before even the Heaven Murder Empire was established.
"I said before, the Heaven Awaken World is the main world, with the godly spirit world above and the underworld below. There are also many smaller subsidiary worlds.
"Some of those subsidiary worlds are quite big, and some are quite small. However, they did not come from the outside and were instead worlds that split off from the Heaven Awaken World because of various sorts of powers, forming their own worlds.
"The Killing Sword World was originally called the Sword World, and legends say that it was formed by a celestial sword. It contains supreme sword intent and is a holy lands for the cultivation of the way of the sword.
"The ruler of the Sword World was called the Sword Master, and the Sword World chose its own ruler. After a Sword Master died, it would choose the next Sword Master.
"To become the Sword Master, one naturally had to have extreme talent in the way of the sword and had to be a peerless genius, someone ordinary people cannot surpass.
"The Sword World was one of the most powerful factions back then and had countless experts. All of them cultivated the way of the sword, but after the 137th Sword Master appeared, everything changed.
"The 137th Sword Master was called a renowned prodigy. Not only did he have a Supreme Sword Constitution, but his comprehension towards the way of the sword was also beyond anything ordinary people could imagine. However, for some reason, the 137th Sword Master fell into the demon path and descended into madness.
"The Sword World changed because of him and also fell into the demon path, creating an Origin of Killing. This killing intent then fused with his sword intent, resulting in a killing sword intent. This sort of sword intent was primarily focused on killing, and the killing intent surpassed the sword intent. This resulted in the Sword World becoming the Killing Sword World.
"The Killing Sword World affected the rest of the Heaven Awaken World as well. The color of blood filled the surrounding hundreds of Domains, and a terrifying sword aura spread out in the sky, shocking the surrounding tens of thousands of worlds.
"Everyone in the Sword World were controlled by that killing sword intent and also fell into the demon path, just like that Elf you just saw.
"That state is called Sword Obsession, where the person and sword become one, and their body becomes controlled by the sword. They become a monster that only knows how to kill, and they are even more terrifying than ordinary sword demons.
"The more killing sword intent that they absorb, the more terrifying they become. This is split into a few levels, from the First Transformation to the Ninth Transformation.
"The First Transformation is just when the body is controlled by the killing sword intent, and this is the weakest state. However, just as you saw, that Elf was already quite difficult to kill. He did not die even when you attacked his vitals, and only by destroying his body were you able to truly kill him.
"In every Transformation, one's power will become many times more powerful, and one's body will go through changes as well. Both the person and sword will evolve. Those in the Second Transformation have to be killed in both body and spirit, and they can still heal over a long period of time.
"For those in the Third Transformation, even if their bodies are annihilated, they can still quickly recover. Their spirits also become extremely powerful and difficult to destroy.
"Those in the Fourth Transformation are almost unkillable and can only be sealed. Their bodies recover too quickly, and their souls have already become sword souls.
"Legends say that the 137th Sword Master has already entered the Ninth Transformation, and he has the terrifying power of a Celestial."
Hearing this, Zhao Fu could not help but gulp; the 137th Sword Master had the power of a Celestial. Celestials were the peak existences in this world, and they were above countless godly spirits. They could casually take the lives of billions of creatures.
That sort of power was simply unimaginable, and just trying to think about it, Zhao Fu felt quite excited. However, looking at the ruined world in front of him, the ending of the 137th Sword Master definitely wasn't a happy one.
