Run for your life?!
"W-WHAT?!" Bo Saixi stood up from the rock in sheer shock as her pink eyes trembled in horror looking at the spirit rings slowly appearing around Xuan Yan in the Illusionic Pillar.
"S-So many red rings and M-M-Million year spirit rings? B-B-But how?" Bo Saixi clutched her forehead as she couldn't understand what the heck is she seeing. She only knew a single beast with a million years of cultivation, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
But it is in the seas near the Sea God Island... so how could Xuan Yan get so many red rings and golden rings? *haah* Taking a deep breath to regain her composure, Bo Saixi couldn't help but feel the weight of the situation. She knew that this level of power was a formidable threat, one that she had not anticipated.
"Now this is a serious threat. L-Little Yan, just who are you?"
...
In the Arena~
Xuan Yan released his spirit rings, causing them to manifest around him in a magnificent display of power.
Everyone watched in stunned silence and their eyes widened as they saw the red-colored spirit rings forming around Xuan Yan one by one. Each color is more radiant and denser than the other one indicating the high level of age.
The audience's lips trembled as they kept their raised head fixated on Xuan Yan unable to tear their gaze away. The First ring itself is a red ring?
"H-HUH?!!" The kings and sect masters couldn't contain their shock, and they rose from their seats, their voices trembling in disbelief. The implications of so many red rings were beyond their comprehension. "H-H-How could this be?"
"T-These much red rings?"
"S-S-See the color density..."
"What is he gonna do?"
The Sword Douluo's frown deepened as he realized the gravity of the situation. He turned to Ning Fengzhi, who was equally staggered by the sight of Xuan Yan's spirit rings.
"Fengzhi! FENGZHI!!!"
"U-Uncle Sword?" Ning Fengzhi turned his quivering eyes at Sword Douluo. "It might get chaotic here, we should leave..."
"B-But how..."
*THRUMB* Suddenly, the aura around Xuan Yan intensified even further, causing the entire arena to shake. People in the arena were pushed back by the sheer force of his presence, "Argh..." But they all clutched onto the seats of the arena and looked at Xuan Yan.
As the rings continued to form, the arena was bathed in a radiant golden light, leaving the spectators and onlookers in complete awe. The intensity of the golden glow was overwhelming, and it transformed the arena into a breathtaking spectacle.
Xue Qinghe's eyes widened in 'shock' "M-Master see that...." Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Ning Rongrong turned to look at the Arena and saw the seventh ring of Xuan Yan.
"G-Golden ring?"
The Sword Dauluo clicked his tongue "This bastard, I had a vague guess... he gathered all of us here to kill all the high powers on the mainland."
The audience's jaws dropped looking at the seventh golden ring. "T-There is a Golden ring after a red ring?"
"Such things even exist?"
"B-But how did Holy Prince get his hands on them...."
"This is just ridiculous..."
"This is beyond belief..."
As Xuan Yan released all nine rings of his EA, the whole arena was golden color and everyone could only see Xuan Yan majestically floating in the air as red and golden spirit rings surrounded him.
"N-Nine rings!"
"H-H-He is really a Titled Dauluo!!"
Not only the people in the arena everyone around the whole mainland was in sheer shock looking at the Red and golden rings of Xuan Yan.
On that day, they all came to know that there is a 1,000,000-year spirit ring after the red ring.
...
Tang San's body trembled in deep terror as he took two steps back looking at the Illusionic pillar. He is already shocked knowing that Dio Brando and Holy Son are the same person... and this...
Is he the one I vowed to kill and take my revenge? T-T-This MONSTER?!
Tang Xiao gritted his teeth looking at the projection of Xuan Yan "W-What power?"
"W-What is he gonna do with this power?"
...
*ROARRRRR* A resounding dragon roar echoed across the vast arena and everyone saw a huge dragon phantom appearing behind Xuan Yan and two more Divine Rings appeared around him.
"HUUUHHH!!!!"
"E-Eleven spirit rings?"
"N-No, Twin martial spirits...."
"A-A-And this dragon roar.. I-I still remember years ago..."
"Then that is really caused by..."
"THE HOLY SON!!"
"And there are two golden rings for that too?"
As the spectators and spirit masters watched in sheer disbelief, Xuan Yan continued to hover in the air, the EA in his hand and the dragon phantom standing tall behind him. The red and golden spirit rings encircling him created a breathtaking and otherworldly scene.
"I-Is he a GOD or something?" Shui Yue Er muttered, her face contorted in deep shock. (○□○).
Tang Yueha's body trembled with excitement as she watched the spectacle "H-Husband is really other wordly... huh." Liu Erlong nodded "N-N-Now I know why he didn't use Spirit skills till now."
"It's just overkill."
Zhu Zhuqing stroked her hair which was fluttering in the heavy winds with a chuckle "Haha... He is really overwhelming..." Xiao Wu also chuckled along with her "Haha..."
Xue Yin's smile widened as she showed a thumbs up "My Big Brother, nice..." Hu Liena smiled wryly seeing Xuan Yan "Well, now what is he gonna do?"
...
Meanwhile, on the balcony of the Spirit Hall, two old men stood in stunned silence. The immense shock was evident in their expressions. "T-This brat..." Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed as he observed the Illusionic Pillar.
Crocodile Douluo let out a deep sigh, his voice filled with uncertainty. "What is the world going to be...?"
...
Bibi Dong smirked sitting on her throne taking huge pride in seeing Xuan Yan floating there. That is none other than her man, her Yan'er, her HUSBAND!
Xuan Yan's majestic voice resonated through the entire mainland as he addressed the world, his declaration sending shockwaves through every corner of the continent "I, Xuan Yan as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall... declaring war on every power on the mainland!"
"From the top three sects and two great Empires to every single Sect and kingdom in the mainland!"
E-Eh? Bibi Dong was dumbfounded. War?
"W-War?" Yu Yuanzhen stuttered, panic filling the hearts of those in the VIP rooms. If Xuan Yan really came for war with this much power and the Spirit Hall, they are... doomed.
Bo Saixi's eyes trembled as she looked down, her voice quivering "W-War? Little Yan? Why..."
"D-Does that mean you will also attack the Sea God Island?"
Ah Yin, Long Yeyue, Ma Xiaotao, and Ah Rou were startled hearing this. "Husband is declaring war on everyone?"
Long Yeyue laughed "It's ok... Husband has such power so everything should be under him."
"He simply wants to dominate..."
"And see how cool he is looking floating there."
"Husband~!"
A chaotic commotion swept through the arena and the VIP rooms. The kings and sect masters feared for their lives, and the realization of Xuan Yan's intent to wage war sent shockwaves through them. They are afraid that they will be killed right now.
"I-Is this really the reason why he gathered us all here."
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
"We should get out of here..."
"H-He is terrifying..."
"What are we gonna do after we run?"
"Do you think we can resist him when he comes for a war?"
"I don't fucking care..."
"Just want to get the hell out of here..."
Dai Huo cursed under his breath. "Damn it, I shouldn't have come here... That Dio Brando... Aghhh." Another man approached him and urged, "Your Highness, we should leave right now..."
*SWOOSH* *CLANK* Xuan Yan gently dodged the incoming attack with his EA a calm smile on his face "Now, Don't be so impatient..." he said looking at the old man on the Arena floor.
Sword Douluo gritted his teeth and dashed into the air "Fengzhi, quickly take Rong'er and leave..."
Xuan Yan glanced at Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Xue Qinghe running away. Qian Renxue laughed in her heart, he really went and did it. Now he will capture the mainland and her secret identity will also come to an end and she can be with Xuan Yan.
Sword Douluo's seventh ring shine "Martial true body!" His body disappeared and a huge blue sword appeared and hurled at Xuan Yan. *swoosh* At this time, a bone structure surrounded Xuan Yan.
Bone Douluo appeared and his fourth ring shone "Bone Prison!" Xuan Yan stretched his hand and the bone prison broke into pieces.
*thrish* Xuan Yan's golden eyes glimpsed at the large blue sword hurling towards him. "Don't think the spirit rings are merely for decorations."
"Sword Quake!" a whisper left his lips and his third red spirit ring glowed brightly. *SWOOSH* With that large red slashes materialized around him and blasted at the Martial true body of Sword Douluo.
*BOOM* *CRACK* "ARGHHHH!!" The martial spirit's body broke revealing Sword Douluo in a bloodied state and one of the slashes fell on him severing his right hand. *boom* he landed crashing on the floor. *cough* *cough*
The audience, the Kings, Sect Masters, and everyone around the mainland were horrified looking at this scene. He broke a Titled Douluo Martial True body with a single attack. This increased the commotion and everyone began to run here and there intensifying the chaos and fear in the arena.
"Nobody moves!" *WOOSH* *FEEN* a cold voice escaped Xuan Yan's lips as a huge pressure fell on the whole stadium startling everyone. No one within the whole arena could move their bodies; they were immobilized, their eyes wide with shock and terror.
*gulp* The kings and sect masters swallowed hard, their eyes trembling nervously. Now they can't escape from the monster and they are all fucked.
Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, Xue Yin, Tang Yueha, Liu Erlong and the Skywater girls were not affected by the pressure and stood there smiling. But the Skywater girls have horrified looks on their faces.
Xuan Yan spoke once more, his voice cutting through the stunned silence. "Three months. I don't care if you form alliances between your Empires and Sects. After three months, Spirit Hall will wage all-out war."
"If you wish to surrender, you can surrender. But if not... prepare for war."
Xuan Yan raised his left hand and the bloodied body of Sword Douluo came floating in front of him as he clutched his neck. *cough* "Argh!!" Sword Douluo's bloodshot eyes looked into Xuan Yan's eyes "B-Bastard..."
But suddenly Sword Douluo's eyes widened as he felt a weird energy flowing inside him. Xuan Yan used his life flame to heal Sword Dauluo's injuries.
The others were surprised. H-He h-healed him? He can even do that? But why?
Xuan Yan kept his cold gaze "Don't misunderstand. I don't want the history to speak that the Holy Son fooled everyone and gathered them together and killed them."
"So today, I am letting all of you go. Leave and get ready for the war." He said and left Sword Douluo's neck from his grip as he stumbled to the floor.
Xuan Yan's martial spirit and spirit rings vanished as he appeared beside Bibi Dong. He extended his hand with a smile "Shall we leave, Dong'er?"
A smile appeared on her face, with a gentle nod, Bibi Dong clasped his palm and they both disappeared. *swoosh* Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, the Skywater girls, Shui Mei, Shui Wuchang, Tang Yueha, Liu Erlong, Xue Yin, and Hu Liena also disappeared from there.
*woosh* *thud* H-Huh? Shui Mei looked around as she clutched her head in dizziness. "W-We are back to the A-Academy? How?"
Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Liu Erlong, Xue Yin Hu Liena, and Tang Yueha appeared in Xuan Yan's home. Xue Ling was surprised "Girls?"
As they all disappeared, the terrific pressure also vanished from the arena. This caused a huge commotion as all the Kings and Sect Masters escaped from there in fear.
Xuan Yan's proclamation left no room for ambiguity. From the top three sects and the two great Empires to every single sect and kingdom in the mainland, Xuan Yan had thrown down the gauntlet. The challenge had been issued, and the world now stood at the precipice of a conflict that would reshape the balance of power in the mainland.
