Black Flames

The moment Ddraig reaped Han Yi's life the atmosphere suddenly changed along with a deep cold voice.

"I would like to thank the two of you for entertaining me for a bit."

He took out his black cloak as it disintegrated into the air.

As his appearance was revealed everyone raised their chin.

He has short brown hair that is slicked back with narrow green eyes. Wearing a white robe with a tree emblem on his chest.

"As a reward for what you did, I shall let you know my name, Ling Che."

The other Emperor Realm Expert revealed his appearance too.

The silent emperor realm expert has the androgynous features of a young man with long black hair and sharp red eyes.

"Ling Chu."

Ling Che then spread his arms as a large amount of profound aura circulated.

"Withering Forest Domain."

Along with Lin Che's voice the earth tremors and huge cracks appeared everywhere. After that countless huge Withered trees seemed to manifest themselves in succession.

The entire Eastern Gate of Moon City has completely changed, the previous flat ground has now turned into an eerie forest. The cold wind could be heard blowing through tree branches like ghastly whispers.

The crowd were stunned at the sudden change.

"Oh my God! It's a domain."

"I can't believe an Emperor realm expert would come here. It's the end."

"Are we going to witness the rise and fall of the Nura Clan?"

Once a Domain was formed, within the Domain, everything would transform into an element that was beneficial to one's self, to the point of even becoming completely under one's control.

There were many different types of Domains; there were attack-type Domains, defense-type Domains, amplification-type Domains, restriction-type Domains, intimidation-type Domains, etc.

The most important fact is that Domain can only be utilized once you reach the Emperor realm.

Gyuuki and Ddraig stood at the middle of the forest as they turned serious. Unlike the Sky Profound Realm experts that they can defeat with superior ability, Emperor realm experts are different.

They are the type of opponent that they can't defeat with superior skills alone.

"Watch clearly as you realize how weak you guys truly are."

Lin Che gave Ddraig and Gyuuki a smile as the large roots swept towards them.

"You think this domain is enough to contain me, naive." Ddraig lightly spread his legs, and took a deep breathe, then spat out a wide range blazing flame from his mouth, which quickly incoming attack.

Unfortunately, with his current cultivation Ddraig's attack wasn't enough to stop it.

Bam!

Both him and Gyuuki were sent flying as blood surged from their mouth.

While in mid-air Lin Che appeared behind them as he kick them upwards.

"See? This is the difference in power." The next moment he appeared above the two and kick them slamming both to the ground.

'is this the end?' Gyuuki thought as he watched the demonic roots and veins come towards them slithering like a snake.

As it was about to reach them and suck their life force it suddenly stopped.

Gyuuki looked at their opponent who no longer has his attention towards them but to the other side.

The crowd's were also attracted by the situation as they checked.

Not far from the forest domain they can see a large parade with rolling mists and floating lamps.

"They're here."

The two experts followed Ling Chu's gaze and nearly let go of their weapons both sword and scabbard, out of their hand from a tremble.

They could see a large horde stopped not too far from the forest domain.

At the helm they can see a man.

His face was calm, and his eyes cold, without a trace of arrogance. However, a single look at him would leave anyone without doubt that he was superior to others.

flicking his finger as his cool voice resounded.

"Black Phoenix, incinerate!" Large amount of black colored magic mist gathered around his body, then along with the sound of Phoenix's cry, those dark magic mist rapidly changed into Humongous Black Phoenix that rushed towards the Forest Domain.

The two sky realm experts gritted their teeth as they went and intercepted the attack.

"Arghh"

Only to be followed with a roar of pain.

"Yare, yare. Why would you intercept a Phoenix Flame head-on?" Hannya's cold voice made the crowd shiver."A flame from Phoenix is dangerous especially when it's from a Black one."

Ling Che doesn't seem to care about the death of two members from his group. He flew next to Ling Chu and gave Hannya a long look.

The moment he saw the silhouette of the black Phoenix the first thought that came to his mind is the Divine Phoenix Empire.

It is one of the seven major nations on the Profound Sky Continent. It is the most powerful nation due to its Divine Phoenix bloodline which they received from the 'Divine Phoenix God' which was soul fragment left by the Phoenix, a primordial divine beast, to pass on its legacy.

The only difference is the Phoenix Flame this man controlled is black, totally different from the crimson Phoenix.

"I've never heard of someone like you residing in this city. Who are you?"

But before Hannya could answer, he saw Gyuuki and Ddraig struggled to stand up.

"Nurarihyon-sama."

"Supreme Commander."

Ling Che looked at the interaction and nodded in understanding, "So you're the leader of this two."

Hannya didn't reply and slowly vanished from top to bottom.

The next moment a sword slash appeared behind Lin Che, " You look so confident so I involuntarily thought you're ready." Along with Hannya's cool voice.

Ling Che reacted quickly as he turn around and defended against the attack.

Bam!

He overestimated his defence as he was sent upwards by the impact.

Then a vigorous hand caught his shoulder and directly pulled him back, and slammed his body to the ground forming a large crater.

Ling Che was shocked by his opponents power.

How could this be?

Though he didn't underestimate his opponent he just overestimated his capabilities.

His eyes turned bloodshot from embarrassment.

"You dare!!"

He shot towards Hannya and sent his palm only to hit an afterimage. Ling Che could feel a hand grabbed the back of his head.
