20 Red Lotus Bloom
Illathar jumped forward swiping with an ice claw and Han Yi. When Han Yi punched out with a 9 colored fist forcing the beast back.
Maven jumped in with his moonlight sword behind him was an army of clones. The army swarmed at the Illathar slashing down and from the ground, various chains burst out impaling every clone.
The chains were like snakes the slithered through the army destroying it. The surviving clones were wiped out by Illathar's dark energies that skewered it.
Around Y, Yuyan gathered blue auras and he shot them out as icicles back to back. But before they could even near Illathar they would disperse into nothingness.
Han Yi noticing this warned him:
"Frost truths will not work on him anymore."
"What? How is that possible?" Ye Yuyan questioned as he dodged another beam of blue light from Illathar.
Han Yi shot out an extinguishing ray of 9 colored lightning that dispersed the barrage of blue auras.
"Roar!" Illathar's left eye pupil shined with great intensity making the blue auras transform into black. They became black chains once again shooting out to surround the group.
"He's refined Dark Laws from frost." Han Yi said hesitantly making the entire group dumbfounded.
"Black and White, the Four Transformations, the Five Elements, and the 3000 Truths..." Nesilia quoted unable to believe Han Yi.
"He's been collecting truths from his fallen and used his frost and the lightning of tribulation to create Black laws..." Han Yi said as Illathar started to snicker.
"Hehe, I had long seen your plans to trap me with my own laws." Illathar growled as the black chains closed in.
The key of demon sealing was to create a seal that was suitable to the demon. Yunshi used Illathar's frost laws to seal him but since he had evolved the truths, the sealing was no longer suitable. Making the attempt backfire entirely and leaving him a mindless husk.
"If you have any tricks left, then use them!" Han Yi roared as he blasted a surging 9 colored lightning into the sky shattering the chains.
He formed a lightning bolt in his right arm and blasted it at Illathar. Illathar slammed down with a frozen claw that smashed the lightning into nothingness.
"I have a plan, just hold him down for a moment." Ye Yuyan calmly articulated as he removed his black dagger.
"Then lets!" Nesilia said as flipped through grimoire rapidly.
"Divine Eye!" She yelled releasing volleys of divine clouds above Illathar's head appeared a massive divine cloud. Around it birds formed from the mist flapping onto Illathar, Hawks, Eagles, Owls, and even Swallows swooped down onto his head.
"Kill!" Maven roared as he ran out with an army of clones. All of them slashing at Illathar's legs and dispelling his frost auras.
"Argh!" Illathar roared as he tried to manifest black chains to attack them. But the black auras around became unstable due to the bird's influence. With all the birds fully created the remaining divine clouds formed an that gazed down on Illathar.
"Damned exorcism!" He roared as his frost qi's blasted at the clouds trying to disintegrate. But the divine eye was too resilient the frost auras shot through it but it still reformed. Suddenly Illathar fell onto one leg as Maven slashed down at his left foot taking away his balance.
Illathar's body suddenly shook with intense electrical energies. His right foot slipped as his entire body fell forward slamming onto the ground. Around his ankle was a 9 colored light that looked like a tenacious viper.
"Ji Shu, do it now!" Han Yi screamed as Illathar struggled against the thundering serpent.
"Blood Rites!" Ye Yuyan said as his eyes turned into blood saucers. He took his dagger and stabbed it into his palm. Blood dripped from his palm dyeing the group and then he suddenly ripped the dagger out.
With that single motion, the dagger started to elongate. The runes along it shone as it transformed into a long thin katana. The whole sword shined with a bloody aura as it took form.
"Blood Moon!" Ye Yuyan roared as his sword stirred the sword forces all around. Him the metallic sword forces gathered rapidly around him and changed into sharp red auras. Each aura reeked of blood as if each held a dead beast.
"This sword force, I've never seen it before." Maven couldn't help but utter as he stared at the gathering sword forces.
"Blood...it cannot be." Ilalthar roared as he body ripped off the thunder serpent.
"Damn..." Han Yi yelled as he was slammed back by Illathar's sudden motion.
"Damn it Yunshi, get back to your senses already." Han Yi couldn't help but curse he shot out a lightning bolt hitting Illathar. But Illathar who was charging at Ye Yuyan didn't care as his fur became singed he still kept dashing forward.
An intertwining of blue and black auras appeared all around him in one his right claw, the blue auras gathered, and in his left the black auras gathered.
"Die you accursed thing." Illathar roared as he slashed down with two claws, one blue and one black. Each claw emanated with a terrifying principle and seemed to propagate without any end as it bared down of Ye Yuyan.
"Call to Slaughter!" Ye Yuyan yelled out as the blood red in his eyes turned crimson. The sword forces condensed into hundreds of sword marks. Each looked like an independent scarlet sword and shot out without end.
The claws were instantly held back by the sheer number for sword marks. Yet the claws kept persisting without end. Ye Yuyan kept generating more sword forces that would shoot out as sword marks.
"His sword force has no end. Isn't he a frost cultivator?" Nesilia said dumbfounded, her divine eye had already been dispersed by the sheer energy so she closed her grimoire.
"Whatever sword code he cultivates is extremely pure." Maven noted as he watched the sword forces cut threw Illathar's claws and throw him backward.
"RAWR!" Illathar roared as sword marks appeared all over his body hitting him backward. Ye Yuyan slashed faster and faster with blood moon in his hand guiding the sword forces.
Han Yi couldn't help but look at Ye Yuyan with apprehension. To think he held back this much power, if he used this power against him earlier he would have lost.
Illathar's body slammed against the valley wall and shook the ground. Illathar took a closer look at Ye Yuyan as fear appeared on his face.
"You...you were the one who slaughtered my clone!" Illathar growled with a mix of fear and anger.
"He what?" Han Yi said as his body staggered.
"I can sense my soul aura on him!" Illathar grumbled as tried to get up, all over his body were bloody sword marks. With his demonic physique, his wounds would normally heal, but the bloody sword forces seemed to inhibit that.
"Don't listen to him, he's just stirring up the pot!" Nesilia said in Ye Yuyan's defense to Han Yi.
"Ji Shu..." Han Yi growled with extreme anger, this entire trip was filled with setback after setback. Originally this was supposed to be a simple plan that would establish his achievements in the kingdom.
Ye Yuyan coldly looked down at Han Yi, and suddenly he snapped his fingers. Han Yi's body started to writhe intensely as the 9 colored light disappeared.
"What did you do?!?" He complained as he fell to the ground and clutched his chest.
"What the hell Ji Shu?!?" Nesilia said out loud and started to approach him. Yet before she could take another step a blood chain shot out of her grimoire.
"What the!" The blood chain shot around her tying her up and chaining her grimoire to her before she could finish her sentence. She struggled to get up and roared curses at Ye Yuyan. Who was deaf to her pleas, instead he focused his attention on Han Yi.
"Han Yi, you did well for a child. But you were nothing more than a tool. A tool for your kingdom and a tool for me." Ye Yuyan said coldly as he snapped again, making Han Yi roar to the skies in pain.
"You little damn..." Han Yi tried to say but before he could finish Ye Yuyan snapped again. But this time a 9 colored light exploded out of Han Yi's body and shot out into the sky.
"Your kingdom received a minor inheritance of Tribulation bearer. But you misunderstood his nature, he was the type of use man as a furnace!" Ye Yuyan said sinisterly as his body approached Han Yi.
Han Yi's body emanated a pillar of 9 colored light that illuminated the whole valley. The skies started to rumble as black clouds started to gather, a terrifying red light was gathering within them.
Nesilia looked over at Maven who seemed perfectly calm as he stood without any restriction.
"You too, Maven? Were you two plotting together this whole time?" Nesilia questioned with a fit of burning anger.
Yet she could help but feel horror, for when Maven turned to look at her all that was in his eyes were blood saucers.
"You..." She said as despair filled her heart.
"Watch me, as I open a new era!" Ye Yuyan laughed as he raised the blood moon and pointed it at the sky. With a tyrannical shout and ascending sword forces he roared to the clouds:
"Red Lotus Bloom!"
