Chapter 659: Assimilation
The voice coming from the bird was clear and melodious, almost as if it were a beautiful lady transformed into a bird.
Xiao Ming nodded to himself. It seemed that this was indeed Jiu You, and it looked like she hadn't gone out yet to undergo her tribulation and evolve. She had just recently broken through to the Sovereign Stage.
Being captured by him might even have saved her life.
To be honest, Xiao Ming couldn't quite understand what this bird was thinking. The Nine Nether Bird race was not weak, and the clan even had a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Jiu You, the daughter of the Nine Nether Bird Clan Chief, had inexplicably chosen to go through her tribulation and evolve alone in the desolate Hundred Spirit Continent in the original timeline, almost dying in the process.
Could it be that she wasn't very bright because she hadn't matured yet?
But then again, back when Zi Yan was young, her little brain was much sharper than this.
Jiu You, who was now being held in Xiao Ming's palm, was unaware that she had been labeled as a blockhead. She continued to glare at him fiercely.
There's a saying: When you're weak, your anger only makes you seem adorable.
That was exactly how Xiao Ming viewed Jiu You at this moment. So he flicked her little head again and asked, "What's your name?"
"Jiu You." TL/N: Nine Nether
Jiu You had intended to answer defiantly, but for some reason, she couldn't help but reveal her name as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Your father sure has a knack for names!"
Xiao Ming chuckled. This was the second time he had encountered someone with such a straightforward name. The first time was when he met the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the Magic Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire. And even that was just a homophone.
Jiu You felt mocked, but she had no way to refute it.
Moreover, this was not the time to worry about her name. She realized that the person in front of her was immensely powerful, at least an Earth Sovereign. Only the Domain Ruler of the Great Havenlaw Domain could stand against such strength.
It was clear that someone of such strength coming to their doorstep was not here with good intentions, and the worst part was that she had already been captured.
If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have charged forward.
Xiao Ming lost interest in teasing her when he saw her hanging her head in silence. Instead, he said, "Take us to the Three Emperors of the Great Havenlaw Domain."
With that, he tossed Jiu You into the air. In an instant, she was transformed into a tall, slender beauty with a graceful figure. Her fair neck, full bosom, slender waist, and especially her shapely legs formed an exquisite and desirable set of curves.
Jiu You's body moved in an uncontrollable manner in her human form, leading Xiao Ming and the two women to the gates of the Greatlaw Sky.
Up in the sky of the Greatlaw Sky, there were orderly streaks of light flying across from time to time. They were the patrol troops of the Greatlaw Sky to prevent any abnormalities.
However, none of them seemed to notice anything unusual about Xiao Ming and his companions.
Greatlaw Sky, Central Region
It was a small-scale continent within the central region of the Great Havenlaw with a towering majestic mountain peak. The peak was like a sword as it pierced the clouds, the scene was immensely grand.
This peak was called Greatlaw Peak, the most critical location in the entire Greatlaw Sky. Not only were the three Emperors in charge of this peak but there were also rumors that it was the residence of the mysterious Ruler.
"Bring us under your command?"
The three Emperors exchanged glances. If the words of this powerful individual were true, they had little reason to resist.
The Skylaw Continent operated on the principle of the strong devouring the weak. They devoured others, and others devoured them. Moreover, this person's strength seemed to far exceed that of their Domain Ruler. At the very least, their Domain Ruler couldn't suppress their control over Spiritual Energy with a glance.
However, their agreement didn't mean that their domain ruler would agree.
But at the moment, they had no choice.
The Sleep Emperor took out a jade slip and crushed it.
The space behind him suddenly ripped open, forming a spatial channel. From within the channel, a ray of spiritual light shot out and transformed into a golden figure standing in the center of the hall.
The figure seemed to be wrapped in a golden cloak, and the golden light surrounding it obscured any clear view of its exact appearance.
"Domain Ruler!"
The three Emperors immediately bowed and greeted the newcomer respectfully.
The Domain Ruler sensed something was wrong the moment she appeared. Ignoring the three Emperors, she turned her cold gaze to Xiao Ming, who was sitting on her throne.
"Who are you?" The Domain Ruler's voice was somewhat hoarse, but anyone could hear the anger contained within.
"You may call me Heavenly Emperor."
"Heavenly Emperor?!!" Mandala seemed to be taken aback when she heard those two words. Her voice faltered for a moment, and then, without any warning, she launched a fierce attack!
It was as if there was a slight exhalation from her, and instantly, a surge of dark energy shot into the sky. Within that dark energy, a rustling sound could be heard as a massive and eerie black thorn grew out. In an instant, it transformed into a forest of thorns that appeared above Xiao Ming.
Boom!
However, the thorns did not have the desired effect. Xiao Ming nonchalantly waved his hand and sent the thorns flying back.
Caught off guard, Mandala could only hastily defend herself. Although she was able to block the attack, the light of Spiritual Energy that was shielding her was dissipated in the process.
As the light dissipated, a figure appeared.
The Sky Vulture Emperor and the Spiritual Pupils Emperor among the three Emperors stood in stunned silence, their mouths slightly agape. Where the light had faded, a petite figure appeared.
She was dressed in an elegant purple and white robe with intricate patterns. Her long, flowing purple-colored hair was styled in twin buns that cascaded down her back. Despite her expressionless face, her beautiful features exuded an extremely cute and delicate charm.
