Chapter 107 - A Powerless Sovereign

While both Jean and Fen Juechen were busy, Cang Yue also had her own problems.

Things were turning really problematic.

Now Yun Canghai couldn't even hope to stop the Demonic Cultivator, and the south of the Blue Wind Empire was also gone.

However, that didn't stop him from keeping to fight and protect.

This time he and the Demonic Cultivator were in the lands of south, like everywhere else where the sinner passed, this was also a zone where not even grass remained.

Yun Canghai glared at the Demonic Cultivator, while the latter revealed only a grin, while the rest of his face was covered.

"Xuan Yi…!"

"Look at who is here, I am 'surprised' to find you, ċȯċkroach."

The two looked at each other and started to walk towards each other, their willpower increased exponentially with each step they made, and when they were near enough, their aura clashed with each other.

*Crack!*

Could he still be able to slow down Xuan Yi, the Demonic Cultivator?

*Fwoosh!*

*CLANG!*

The two vanished, as if they teleported away, and in the next instant the space in the middle of the crack was distorted. At one side there was Yun Canghai, holding the same black sword that was used to seal him, but much smaller. It was his new weapon, the Heaven's Punishment, which was still undamaged despite the attack from Halvanhelev of Jean back when they were sealed.

Blocking that sword was the black crystal containing an unimaginable amount of Dark Profound Energy mixed with the lifeforce of millions over millions of living beings.

"DIE!! SUDDEN LIGHTNING SWORD!"

Yun Canghai's sword crackled with deep purple lightning, then he shot a thin line from the tip of the blade that Xuan Yi dodged before it was even released.

The line traveled as fast as light and split the ground in two. After that, Xuan Yi kept backing away, dodging more slashes from Yun Canghai.

The two of them danced in the sky with such fluid movements that it seemed like they saw the future and searched for the best movements to use over a million.

After that, Xuan Yi extended his black crystal forward and unleashed a dark wave that reached Yun Canghai, but the latter split the wave in two, not moving an inch from his place.

At the end of this exchange, neither of the two were injured, but now things will change…

Yun Canghai shot forward like a falling star, and slashed downward, with the intent of cutting Xuan Yi in two, however Xuan Yi grinned, and with incredible speed, he punched Yun Canghai in the guts.

"Ugh!" Yun Canghai's back bent while air left his lungs. Xuan Yi's grin got even bigger and started to turn arrogant. "Finally that soul of yours gave up! Now let me use you to reach the Go-"

*Pat!*

Yun Canghai grasped Xuan Yi's arm with all of his strength and started to give him a bloodied smile, Xuan Yi's eyes widened when he saw the blood on Yun Canghai'd lips.

"Blood essence?!"

"Netherprison Lightning Emperor Formation." Suddenly, the blood from Yun Canghai's lips flowed down as if they had their own lives and pierced certain points of Xuan Yi's body, who tried his hardest to struggle away from him.

Yun Canghai let Xuan Yi go and said. "Begone…"

"AAARGHHHHH!!!

This lightning was completely different in strength than the ones that Yun Canghai could normally release, and forced him to stay down.

Xuan Yi stood up and gritted his teeth, before he made a step forward. He felt a lightning fall on him and immediately retracted his step, avoiding getting directly hit. 

But the force of the impact still injured him to a certain degree.

"DAMN YOU!!" he yelled towards the direction where Yun Canghai left.

Meanwhile Yun Canghai turned back to the Imperial Palace, where Cang Yue was waiting for him. She approached him and when she noticed his weakened state, she asked. "Are you alright?"

"No, I just used my own Blood Essence to trap him in a seal, he won't get out for some time… That bastard got too strong…" Cang Yue nodded and asked some guards. "Please call a medic."

"Yes!" The guard left the hall.

...

Yun Canghai got weaker, degrading to the 7th Sovereign Profound Realm. But he was lucky, because using the Blood Essence in conjunction with the Purple Cloud Art, his profound art, was extremely dangerous, so much that it was taboo.

Using the newly gained blood red lightning, Yun Canghai sealed the Demonic Cultivator inside the Netherprison Lightning Emperor Formation.

It was unknown how much time the Demonic Cultivator would need to escape from the seal, but for now he was still inside, together with his treasure, the black crystal he always wielded.

Normally Yun Canghai would never resort to this, but knowing that the Demonic Cultivator was turning into a danger for the entire continent, he could only do that.

At least until stronger reinforces come.

He honestly hoped for the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region to come to help, so they and the Demonic Cultivator would destroy each other.

7 months passed since the start of this mess, 7 turned into 8, 8 turned into 9…

10 months…

11…

1 year passed. Even after he was sealed for 5 months, the Demonic Cultivator still couldn't escape. In the nation, 5 months of peace followed and everyone seemed to have forgotten about the danger.

Now that the Demonic Cultivator was sealed, no one feared him.

Obviously Cang Yue was the one receiving all the merits, if the knowledge about the presence of Yun Canghai reached the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, it might result in a worse disaster.

Meanwhile, the news about Jean and Fen Juechen didn't appeared yet, and Cang Yue started to seriously fear that something really serious happened to both of them, but she didn't want to believe in their death...
