The Steward Demonic Emperor

“Crush them? How, when they’re so many?” Luo Yunhai didn’t understand.

Zhuo Fan smirked, “With this.”

Zhuo Fan took out a huge golden fireball. Its dreaded power surged around, forcing the many Sacred Bodies to halt in fear.

“W-what is that? Why does it feel so scary?”

“A Dragon Breath Pill!”

Zhuo Fan smiled at the familiar ball, “Decimating Dragon Ancestor gave me three of these in mortal domain, each unleashing his full power. I wasted one for revenge, another against Heaven Sealing Sea Ao and this is the last. I planned to save it when things got dire, especially against him, but I have no choice. Since these guys want to die so much, I’ll oblige them, ha-ha-ha.”

Zhuo Fan flicked the huge fireball on top of their heads, laughing, “Here’s a present for you! I, Zhuo Fan, am a man of my word. I said I’ll crush you and that’s what I’ll do, ha-ha-ha…”

“We have to block it!”

The others felt the tremendous power of the Dragon Breath Pill and shouted. Everyone used their best skills against it along with their Sacred Bodies.

Despite the hundreds of Saints using enough power to destroy the world, it was still not enough to even shake the fireball. It hardly even shrank.

Under the fearful eyes of all, the golden fireball struck them…

Boom!

A huge explosion was unleashed, followed by a sudden heat wave. The Decimating Golden Flame swallowed the 6th Sacred Mountain whole.

The mighty Saint army had no time to scream their last before they burned to ashes.

Their tough bodies were eroded and vanished, even faster than when Zhuo Fan handled He Haodong.

In seconds, the 6th Sacred Mountain was a raging sea of golden flames. The beautiful sceneries, the fancy pavilions, all were reduced to dust.

In just one strike, a great Sacred Mountain now disappeared from reality. 

Only the golden sea of flames was the sole proof of it ever existing, and of the horror that was unleashed to erase it.

Luo Yunhai’s face twitched as he gasped. He never got to see such an astonishing spectacle in his life.

“Big brother Zhuo, that’s why you weren’t scared. You had such a trick up your sleeve.”

“A shame it was the last one…” Zhuo Fan clicked his tongue, “Next time I meet tough opposition, better keep my nose down. Then again, there probably aren’t that many out there at my level, ha-ha-ha…”

Luo Yunhai nodded, “You killed the 6th Sacred Mountain Lord, that means you can dominate anyone in the Sacred Domain in a duel. You’re also the only one in the clan capable of fighting the Sacred Mountains. What do we do when the other mountains come knocking?”

“It’s for that reason that I used the precious Dragon Breath Pill to crush the 6th Sacred Mountain.”

Zhuo Fan eased a breath, “The worst thing about humans is their cowardly natures, the Sacred Mountains included. The stronger you are, the more afraid they’ll be. If I had left it after saving you and Qingcheng, then all of the Sacred Mountains would’ve come for revenge. Since I killed those entitled pricks, the Sacred Mountains, who value reputation and dignity above all else, will definitely have come in force.”

Luo Yunhai was grave, “Yes, the Sacred Domain is just like the mortal domain. The higher-ups or emperors are nothing but hypocrites. For their name, they’ll never see reason, nor honor.”

“That’s why I crushed the 6th Sacred Mountain, to give them a fright. They don’t know my limit and won’t rush to get me out of fear of suffering the same fate. We can drag it out for a year and a bit, wait on the dragons’ report so that we may really have a fighting chance against the Sacred Mountains. Before that, bluffing is the way to go.”

Luo Yunhai smiled, “Just like when the Luo clan got set up and Veiled Dragon Pavilion thought we were something big when we had nothing.”

“Yeah, the Sacred Mountains may believe that we still have Dragon Breath Pills when in reality we’ve already run out.”

Zhuo Fan smirked and the two laughed.

Luo Yunhai frowned, “Mountain Lord He said someone took Qingcheng, but who and to where?”

Zhuo Fan’s eyes shone, “If he came to the Sacred Mountains, he could’ve easily killed some girl. But now I don’t know where to look for her. The expert had to be a top power in the Sacred Domain.  Out of the Seven Sacred Mountains, that leaves Dragon Lands. But it doesn’t look like they would move…”

“Maybe there’s some hidden power like us?”

“Could be, but that would be even worse.”

Zhuo Fan sighed, leaving after giving the flames one last look, “Let’s go, I’ll think about Qingcheng later. We now need to spread this news throughout the Eight Emperors’ lands. We’ll grasp the people’s support and become their leader. Once the dragons respond, we can crush the rest of the Sacred Mountains and usher in a brave new world.”

Zhuo Fan left the sea of flames.

A shadow watched him go from a distance, “Decimating Dragon Ancestor’s fire. He’s with the sacred beasts.”

“Ugh…”

The man shook and looked back to see Chu Qingcheng groaning.

The man shook his head, “The kid has different tastes now, giving a Sovereign path to this girl, ha-ha-ha…”

The man left as well…

A month later, news of the 6th Sacred Mountain’s destruction rocked the Sacred Domain.

[The top power in the Sacred Domain for eons up and got crushed just cause you said so? Not even the dragons would do it if they could.]

[They can crush a mountain as well, but they could never destroy all of them.]

For even dragons could be surrounded and defeated as more and more mountains joined the attack. 

That was why the dragons had no chance against the Sacred Mountains. 

Now, though, the 6th Sacred Mountain was no more. It left people in disbelief, for this meant one thing only.

That the other party was so strong it could finish a mountain like nothing and that it was so large that it trumped the 6th Sacred Mountain’s defenses, stopping them from even calling for help.

When did the Sacred Domain have such a powerful group?

People shook their heads.

[Damn blasted rumor. How come something like this happens? What fool would believe this crap? Ha-ha-ha, what morons.]

Then came the Luo clan’s announcement, stirring the people once more. The rumor they wrote off as exaggeration ended up confirmed. 

That meant they could believe it, leaving the people in shock that a Sacred Mountain was no more.

What was even more astonishing was that the new Luo clan from the Eight Emperors’  lands was the one that did it.

[Is the Luo clan that strong? Can they go to war and crush the Sacred Mountains just cause they say it? That’s the everlasting Sacred Mountains for eons and eons we’re talking about here! Some upstart clan up and wasted the 6th Mountain and its people?]

Everyone in the Sacred Domain felt numb, their world view crumbling.

[Huh, so Sacred Mountains aren’t that tough like they claim. Their day has come and a new overlord will replace them…]
