"..." the remaining six patriarchs could only watch their two friends that was planted deeply within the cave walls with their mouth agaped. Never had they seen a scene so outlandish such as this! It was unreal!Prior to this, it was within their imaginations that Duan Li would either win by only a margin or lose by a degree. After all, those two that he was fighting with was both apex cultivators in terms of physical strength in the entirety of the Jiu Empire! But they would have never thought that their two fellows would be sent spinning in the air like some dirty ragdolls!
What the heck is this?
Are they fighting a human cultivator or the world"s turtle?
"Incredible! Such pulsations of energy is unheard of!" Patriarch Jiu narrowed his eyes seeing Duan Li"s current electrifying form.
Through their soul sense, they were able to determine that the amount of power Duan Li was giving out right now was two times greater than before! In fact, when Patriarch Jiu thought about it, such a transformation technique was even more unfathomable than his family"s greatest power boost technique - First Desolation Warring Intent!
"No wonder he did not go all out against us..."
Now that they realized Duan Li"s power, they immediately felt ashamed of themselves.
They, who considered themselves unmatched in their own cla.s.s was beaten by the pure power of a single youth!
If Skill arts was allowed in their previous battle..
Who knows if there would be even a Jiu Empire left from the aftermath!
Just the thought of it already sent shivers down their spine!
"Indeed, with such strength, not to mention that he had not yet reach the Nascent Soul realm, he is already worthy of being the Imperial Overseer!"
Finally recognizing Duan Li of earning his t.i.tle, the patriarchs nodded in satisfaction with their hands clenched in excitement!
Only a person with such an overbearing power is fit to become the Imperial Overseer!
"Aiyoh!" Both Patriarch Shen and Patriarch w.a.n.g pulled themselves out from their hole before pausing, their faces red in embarra.s.sment when they saw the other patriarchs saw their current state. If word were to spread that two solemn figure like them was beaten badly like this, perhaps it would be better if they were to remain in those holes instead!
"Hahahaha! My two friends over there, there is no need to be so embarra.s.sed like that! Come, let us now properly greet our Imperial Overseer here and sing the oath of fealty!" Patriarch Shi laughed. He felt the flames of patriotism in his heart was being ignited like the time in his youth back when he was once the Imperial Knight, blazing when he saw how majestic Duan Li"s power felt!
Patriarch Shi, in fact, all the other patriarchs felt that, from now on, the Jiu Empire will never be the same again!
With Duan Li as their Imperial Overseer, the Jiu Empire can finally unleash its wings and soar to the heavens!
Lining themselves up, they bowed properly before simultaneously greeting Duan Li;
"We, the eight Patriarchs of the Great Clan, has sworn an oath of fealty towards the Jiu Empire. We, the eight Patriarchs of the Great Clan, has sworn to be loyal to the throne and the Emperor of the Jiu Empire. We, the eight Patriarchs of the Great Clan, hereby, sworn to become the subordinates of the Imperial Overseer!"
"The eight Patriarchs of the Great Clan greets Your Excellency!"
Just like that, the very foundation of power in the Jiu Empire was now dominated by Duan Li!
...
Wei w.a.n.g clutched at his hair, feeling extremely riled by the two fellows in front of him. If not for the fact that they were on the same team, he would have long poisoned them to their deaths!
Lord, why did you sent me with these two lunatics?
Wei w.a.n.g wanted to cry and howl, but because he was mute, all he could do was cry in his heart. No one could feel his grief.
If they wanted to jump inside the hole, why did he have to get caught up in it?
"Junior Wei w.a.n.g, where do we go next?" w.a.n.g Dong asked him with his arms crossed on his chest, appearing unperturbed that they had just fell into a deep hole in the middle of the Red Desert!
"Brother w.a.n.g Dong, does it matter? We just have to feel it in our gut and pick any direction! With that said, Wei w.a.n.g, come and pick for us!" Shen Murong said with confidence br.i.m.m.i.n.g on his smug face.
So what if this is a ruin? If any monsters were to come out, wouldn"t they have to just punch them black and blue?
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d.. these two b.a.s.t.a.r.d.." Wei w.a.n.g wanted to curse them both down to their very first ancestor.
How dare you have such a descendant? Why hadn"t your enemies crushed your b.a.l.l.s back then?
Aren"t you making trouble for the future society by having these two in your bloodline?
To think that after they threw him in into this h.e.l.l hole they would still have the gals to ask him for the direction..
Infuriating!
You think I"m a guide? It"s my first time here too and that was why I wanted to object to you two from going in in the first place!
Don"t you two know basic logic? Never enter a ruin you know nothing about, especially when there are no experts with us!
d.a.m.n it! G.o.d d.a.m.n it!!
"Uh.. junior Wei w.a.n.g? What are you doing?" w.a.n.g Dong could not help but to voice out his concerns when they saw Wei w.a.n.g suddenly clawing at the sand beneath their feet repeatedly like a crazy man.
Could playing with sand be his hobby perhaps? How unique!
Intrigued by his junior, w.a.n.g Dong decided to give it a try too.
They had fallen through what was known as a desert sinkhole, or also known as entrances to the ancient ruin. It took them several minutes of falling through the sinkhole which meandered a lot to finally fall where they were right now.
Escape? They couldn"t do that. The entrances were known to be like a maze and was filled with giant desert monsters all over.
"Hais!" Wei w.a.n.g gave out a huge sigh.
Forget it! Since things has come down to this, I might as well just-
PENG!
"Ah?" a sudden huge banging sound could be heard from behind him.
Turning around, he saw w.a.n.g Dong raising a longsword from the ground. This longsword was silver in color with ten jade stones of differing color embedded into its hilt.
This sparkling weapon immediately attracted their attention! This was especially the case for the solemn aura it was giving out and they were very familiar with this aura!
It was the aura of an Ultimate graded weapon!
"Could this be the Ten Commandment Sword?" w.a.n.g Dong scratched his head feeling a little confused.
So this is the result of playing with sand..
