huff—
A man with a black haired ran in the middle of the forbidden forest. The sky roared while watching the mortal being pursuit by the group of immortals.
"Why did this happen?"
"My imperial mother and my siblings they died without me knowing."
Nexus looked back to the immortals with the blades that soaked the blood of his people.
He clenched his fist to the point blood could be spilled.
He ran.
Keep running towards the deep side of the forbidden forest.
"Is this the end? I don't want to die as a mortal without having my revenge on them" a thought that swallowed his mind without any strength to back it up.
"I refuse to believe that the imperial father story was only fairy tales from my childhood"
"Dragon blood?? Fuck that bloodline, It wasn't even that powerful… Prove it to me Ancestors that you're all real… SHOW ME THE MIGHT OF THE DRAGON"
The rain that was supposed to fall, stopped. Everything turned into a stone without moving an inch.
As if the time had stopped.
The slumbering dragon soul awakened from the depths of nexus soul.
"You look pathetic—Why dont you come over here"
A few lines from the dragon soul made nexus anxious.
A glowing light started to engulf his entire body, a teleportation formation was triggered.
A while back, before all of this happened.
The Imperial kingdom of Dragon night, The people was joyously celebrating the coronation day of the crown prince to the throne.
The emperors of the neighboring kingdoms also visited the Dragon night coronation.
"Who do you think is inside this large carriage?"
"Don't you know the Vermillion phoenix clan, that said dominated the central region alongside the Imperial Kingdom of Dragon night"
"Even though the Dragon night doesn't have any immortals but the vermillion phoenix clan has many immortals, It said that the soon to be wife of the crown prince will be visited today… It must be her"
Inside the carriage, a red haired woman with a peerless beauty sitting across the chair gazed upon the mortals.
They couldn't help but frozen from her beauty.
"Those eyes are disgusting."
"Father, why must you insist me going here, your plan was already been approved."
"Ling'er, just bear it with the couple of hours and it will end"
Inside the back of the carriage the emperor of the vermillion phoenix clan spoke, a figure powerful enough even in the immortal realms.
A Soul transformation realm immortal.
"It's majesty the emperor of vermillion phoenix clan, Entering the palace hall with the crown princess"
Guests from various part of the world arrived, gathering at the imperial hall.
Welcome the Emperor of the Dragon night, the leaders and emperors from various kingdoms bowed their heads and greeted the emperor.
Above them a figure walked towards the throne with an unfazed gaze with a golden dragon robe.
"Father why must you bow down to the emperor for long when both of you are on equal title" The crown princess whispered.
He looked to his daughter and said "Since the founding of our kingdom there's a saying when one saw the emperor of the dragon night, no matter the status, it must bow with outmost respect and must not become enemy… However, today I will confirm it with my own eyes"
The emperor sat at the throne "Please, raised your heads. Since all of you came here with the intention to welcome the new emperor of my dragon night, Witness it yourselves"
"The crown prince will be entering the imperial hall."
Footstep could be heard from the gate, each forces looked at the crown prince with a dismayed expression like they're saying that the plan they all had for centuries was for this MORTALS without an immortal energy.
Nexus stood next to the throne waiting for the golden robe to be pass.
"We live for a long time, now the crown prince will become the next emperor"
The emperor or the father of nexus took of his golden robe.
Nexus worn the golden robe and sat at the throne.
"Long live the emperor!!"
"Long live the emperor!!"
The people of the Kingdom of Dragon night, shouts long live the emperor.
The sky turned black stormed echoed the entire kingdom, a group of immortals with a nascent soul cultivator with their disciples descending to the palace ground.
The general of kingdom shouted at the intruder "How dare you flew in the sacred ground of the kingdom, state your name or else don't blame me"
pfft
"A mortal dares to block an immortal from the Celestra Sect"
"I don't care—"
The general was stopped by the former emperor.
"So, it was the immortal from celestra clan, What can I do for you?"
"I want your life your majesty"
Blade was sheathe from the scabbard and it penetrated the emperor's heart.
"So it's begun huh" The emperor's weak voice was heard by the neighbors emperor as if he knew the rebellion.
'Survive this disaster my son the crown prince… No, Emperor Nexus. I know you can do it, trampled all the enemies you encountered…'
The emperor fell to the ground the crown prince was also slain by the vermillion phoenix emperor.
The immortal ordered their disciples to eliminate all the mortals from this kingdom.
They announced the emperor's death, people was in chaos. Families in every corner of the kingdom suffered from a cruel fate.
The immortals slaughtered the mortals like pigs, they cried for help while uttering the emperor nexus name. Some fought back to death but…
It wasn't enough the mortals couldn't even touched the immortals.
Nexus the new emperor ran while witnessing the destruction of his kingdom. The acting crown prince from the palace hall was his second brother, since none had been seen nexus true face except from his imperial family.
Blood flows from the grounds, millions of dead people scattered across the kingdom.
Some immortals noticed an mortal running away towards the forbidden forest.
They chased him down but he disappeared into the darkness without any trace.
Back at the imperial hall.
The emperor of vermillion phoenix looked around the imperial family deceased bodies.
"Since they're all dead, as promised my daughter will be joining the ranks of the celestra"
"Of course, you don't need to remind us to that emperor, I will personally guide her to the sect"
"Greet your senior, ling'er!!"
"I greet the senior brother and sister"
"Don't be so modest junior sister, we will be in the same sect just call me by my name"
After that the other clan and neighboring kingdoms also let their son and daughter joined the ranks.
'Lucius you betrayed my expectations, I thought you're some mighty figure… Don't blame me for this'
The figures dispersed goes back to each other territories.
At the present time.
Nexus opened its eyes slowly and he found himself inside the unfamiliar place.
He was in the lowest part of the towering diamond shape palace with four different paths that anchored to the ground.
In the underground, there's a pool of large blood.
"What is this?"
"It's the dragon blood of your ancestor"
The dragon soul answered the question for the little soul.
"Who are you, senior? Thank you for saving my life… but I don't think I can keep living like this"
"Hohh~ Your generation was pathetic however…"
"The descendant of that man, was almost— KILLED"
The energy surged the entire place trembling and the blood boils inside the Dragon blood pool.
"From now on I will guide you personally to become the strongest in this generation"
