Xu Shan was enjoying the sight, playing with the Soldiers like they were merely his puppets.
For the others, it was a situation that they couldn't grasp. It was unclear how their reaction would've been to realize that this was just a test for Xu Shan. It was a test to see the usefulness of his new Celestial Spirit!
Even Xu Shan hadn't expected his second Celestial Spirit to be something like this. He had come up with a name for this Celestial Spirit. He called it... Absolute Control.
Despite the immense pain he endured, at times even wishing for death, the end result proved to be unexpectedly satisfying.
"How many days has it been?" Xu Shan asked the Former Emperor, who stood behind him.
"I-it's been..."
Hearing the man's response, Xu Shan frowned, looking at the bracelet on his wrist. He had felt that it had tightened, but he never expected that so many days had passed. There was only a limited time left before he had to fulfill his oath.
"This thing is quite annoying for sure." He placed a finger on the bracelet, touching it lightly.
His left eye shone briefly as he started devouring the Bracelet that signified the Heavenly Oath. The Bracelet was powerful enough to control even Heavenly Celestials and beings much stronger since it had the blessing from heaven, but Xu Shan didn't like being controlled.
Although he just had to fulfill his oath to remove the bracelet, but he didn't want to go through the long process, especially now that his Celestial Spirit of Devouring had also evolved.
The Celestial Lotus awakened his Celestial Spirit of Control, but it also strengthened his Celestial Spirit of Devouring.
Xu Shan couldn't be certain whether his other Spirit had grown stronger due to the influence of the Celestial Lotus, or if it was the result of the newfound synergy created by his new Celestial Spirit.
With even stronger Devouring, he couldn't just devour the Celestial Spirits and strengths of Warriors. He was also able to devour the Heavenly Laws, albeit to a very small extent.
The bracelet retaliated to being devoured. The Heavenly Laws leaked out, but they were swiftly being devoured before they could harm Xu Shan.
The sky grew darker, as if an anger was brewing in the heavens above. Amidst the unsettling atmosphere, the Divine Empress gracefully made her way to the balcony, her gaze fixed upon the troubled sky.
The Sky was completely covered in darkness, but in that darkness, some lightning could be seen flashing. Within seconds, something came out of the Dark Clouds. It was a creature that was formed from the Heavenly Lightning, taking the shape of a Dragon.
The Lightning Dragon flew through the sky, roaring like crazy. The Empress' expressions darkened at the sight of the Dragon.
It wasn't the first time she had seen a Dragon like this. It was a punishment from Heaven. In fact, she even faced a punishment like that when he killed a large number of Heaven's Chosen.
The lightning was powerful. Even with the Book of Devouring, she had barely managed to survive that punishment. She had to spend over a week in recovery.
However, even then, she didn't stop hunting the Heaven's Chosen. Despite that, the Lightning Punishment didn't come a second time. Even the Laws of Heaven were restricted by worlds.
A Heavenly Punishment could only be sent once in an Upper World for a person. At least that's what the Empress thought before. But seeing the Lightning Dragon in the sky made her have second thoughts. She wondered if it was the second Heavenly Punishment meant for her.
She brought out the Book of Devouring. The pages of the Book flapped open as the Empress prepared for the assault.
She waited for the Dragon to attack her, but to her surprise, the Lightning Dragon didn't even look at her. Even as the Dragon flew through the sky, his gaze was in another direction.
She followed the Dragon's gaze. Her gaze ended up on the mansion that she had gifted Xu Shan. Before the mansion, Xu Shan was standing. His attention on the Lightning Dragon in the sky.
"It came for him? But how? How could he attract such hate from Heaven?!" The Divine Empress exclaimed in disbelief. She had to kill hundreds of Heaven's Chosen, and after that the punishment came for her. But this man...
Clank~
A cracking sound resounded. The bracelet of oath on Xu Shan's wrist started cracking apart. Right before his eyes, the bracelet shattered, the Heavenly Laws absorbed by Xu Shan.
The Heavenly Punishment finally fell from the sky as the Lightning Dragon came crashing down.
"I'll trust the Book of Truth this time..." Xu Shan muttered, as he raised both his hands towards the sky.
With his second spirit awakening, it wasn't just his first spirit that had become stronger. More of the Restrictions from the Book of Truth were removed. It was as if the Book had finally accepted him as its master in a complete sense.
A lot of information that previously would've been a bunch of question marks or unreadable text was now clear, especially about the Lightning Dragon.
Xu Shan flew into the sky, not waiting for the Lightning Dragon to come to him. The bright lightning made many people close their eyes, unable to even look at the sky. But the Divine Empress was different.
She was able to see clearly. And what she was was something even she didn't believe! Xu Shan's Celestial Spirit... It materialized behind him! And it was a sight that even sent a chill down her spine.
The Divine Empress could only see Xu Shan's Celestial Spirit for a second, and even that was enough to hurt her seriously. Blood came out from her nose, ears and eyes. Eventually, she was forced to look elsewhere!
It was a sight she could never forget! A Celestial Spirit like that... She couldn't believe it. If it was another powerful Celestial Spirit, she could've thought about stealing it with the Book of Devouring, but what she saw... She was certain that she was going to die if she even tried to absorb that Celestial Spirit! It was too evil…
