The Immortal Legacy: Black Mists Demon ( Book 1)

The Opening Of Domains 2

It was a bright and beautiful morning within the nation of the Sky Empire. The birds were singing sweet songs as they flew about in the calm blue skies; the wind was blowing like a gently flowing stream of river water. At first glance, one could see a majestic palace that was so big that it looked like it wanted to part the clouds and reached the very heavens itself, around this castle was a wall eighty meters in height and three meters thick, with several guard posts stationed on top, soldiers patrolled none stop as they change through shifts.

Numerous rivers and tall trees could be seen around the palace, with exquisite flowers of all kinds, shape, and sizes, some of these flowers ranged from sun windflower, six-petal chin flower, to dragon leaf flowers. The smell of these flowers was breathtaking, with one smell, one would be calm at heart and the soul with the aid of the bright rays of the burning sun.

These beautiful roses alone created a beautiful courtyard that looked like it was created by the Gods of beauty, peace, and tranquility, the scenery was truly one of a kind. The gate of the palace was made out of reinforced steel with gold plating’s on the front.

Above the gate were two golden dragons that circled each other and in their eyes were red gemstones. Just by looking at them, one would feel a sense of danger and destruction due to the imposing aura that they gave off. It was truly a majestic sight for the eyes of the strong and a fearful one for those of the weak.

The market places were as lively as ever as the buying and selling of goods and products proceeded onwards without anything enduring them, the streets were filled with hundreds of people moving from one area to the next, some going into clothing stores, blacksmith shops, medicinal halls, martial arts buildings, martial dojo or just simply window shopping. It was no exaggeration to say that the territory of the Sky Empire was a beautiful one; most of the buildings there were made out of beautiful limestones, white tiles, and jade.

In the middle of the beautiful palace was a room that was closed off from everyone, the only way one could gain entry into this room was he/she given the order to. In this room was a man who stood still for hours, observing a painting of a flower with sixteen petals that had sixteen different colors, both normal and mixed, on each of these petals was symbols of unknown origins, just by looking at them, one would feel a sense of pressure from ancient times.

The person who was observing the painting was a middle-aged man with a skin as white as jade, he wore a white robe with black clouds on the back of it. He looked simple and carefree as if nothing in this world could bother him; his concentration on the flower was unbreakable by even an earthquake.

"Wun Lee, what do you think about the underworld flower, isn't it mysterious," asked the man who was studying the painting.

"It sure is, Lord Tow Lung"

It was unknown when a person got into the closed room and kneeled behind the man who was studying the painting, he made no sound whatsoever nor did he opened the door. On his face was a black mask with purple flames running from the right top corner to the bottom left. Surprisingly enough, the man who was observing the painting had sensed him the minute he came into the room and surprisingly the man who was standing with his hands folded behind his back, was the emperor of the Sky Empire, Lord Tow Lung.

"Why have you disturbed me at this time Wun Lee" asked the emperor without turning his head around to look at the man that was kneeling behind him.

"Forgive this one for his disturbance my Lord, but we have just gotten Intel on the proceedings of the battle between the Green Field Empire" stated the masked man nervously.

"Well, go on, spit it out"

Command the emperor while still observing the painting.

"Yes my lord, it can be seen that the battle for lands between the two nations isn't going as planned as we have originally thought it would, between the two parties, large casualties are occurring and the Green Field army as proven to be much more resistant than we have also thought" reported the man in the black mask.

"What is General Odain Grayson doing about this unforeseen situation?"

Finally, with a still straight face, the emperor turned around to face the masked man. There was no sign of shock on his jade-like face, only calmness, and determination, but this made the masked man even more nervous than before because he knew the temperament of his emperor.

"My lordship, Intel says that he's getting ready to make his move as we speak, the Green Field General has also been injured but not severely, also our fire and their ice mages as forcefully opened two domains, the North pole, and Grimm fire domains" report Wun Lee.

"Hmm, I see, well this is really on unexpected situation indeed, haha such will power they have, but let's see how long they can hold out" chuckled Tow Lung, "go, tell the general to end this foolishness right now, tell him to use that technique that I showed him earlier, although he hasn't perfected it as yet it will do for now hmm"

With a wave of his hand, while giving his command, the general turned back around to observe the painting of the underworld flower once more.

"Yes Lord Tow lung"

"Woosshh"

As the masked man Wun Lee disappeared from out of sight, a strong wind picked up from where he was standing, this strong wind didn't seem to affect Tow Lung slightest because this was something he was used to and it became the norm over time.

The front lines

General Mich Son and Odian Grayson was standing a hundred yards away from each other, they were both attentively watching the proceedings of the two domains in action. They both knew that it was only a matter of time before they would have to step into the battle, which would decide the last outcome.

Out of the armies of ten thousand on each side respectively, only seven hundred remained on the side of the Sky Empire while a pitiful three hundred and fifteen remained to defend the borders of the Green Field Empire. The Sky Empire outnumbered their army by four hundred and eight-five men and it was also safe to say that the Sky Empire had the upper hand.

The sky was lit up by a purple and blue light which were shining brightly in the sky, a pressure equal to a descending mountain came crashing down from up above, it was so tyrannical that just by the imposing pressure alone, one would feel a sense of disaster and death coming their way.

As the two shields which were summoned by the two parties fought against the terrifying powers of the two domains that were destroying the surrounding landscape, the persons that were supporting the shields coughed up huge mouth full’s of fresh blood as they consumed numerous amounts of energy replenishing pills

Mich Son once again launched himself into battle brandishing a long sword that was filled with blood, the general had long since taken notice of the decrease in numbers of his army and decided to take action before the situation gets even worse. A bright glow suddenly came from his left hand; within mere seconds the bright light faded away to reveal a blue stone that was shaped like a broad sword. The minute that the broad sword was revealed, a creepy aura of death washed across the battlefields, the blue broad sword once again started to glow within instance light as it started to float up into the air.

"Thousand blade strikes!" shouted Mich Son with determination flashing in his eyes.

The bright light of the shining blue broad sword transformed into a thousand glowing illusionary broad swords that bolted out the sky for miles. The sight of these broad swords was truly majestic and imposing to the extreme, they gave off an aura of a death God watching over the world from above. As the thousand broad swords bolted out the sky, the ones that crossed over into the territory of the fire and ice domains were instantly destroyed without a fighting chance, due to this slightly unforeseen destruction, the numbers of broad swords were greatly decreased by four hundred, leaving only six hundred broad swords glowing in the sky.

"Haaaaaa"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom"

With a loud shout from the general, the illusionary broad swords descended at full speed, loud explosions could be heard as the swords crashed into the ground. Miserable cries that sounded like pigs dying could be heard as the swords smash and broke apart anything in their way. Some persons use bodily martial arts skills to evade the attacks while others created defensive shields, some of the members of the Sky the army were already fully protected by the purple crystal shield, but it already weakened to a certain extent due to the impacts of the two terrifying domains.

As the swords fell, general Odian Grayson waved his right hand into the air, causing it to ripple and sent shock waves rushing towards the illusionary broad swords. The minute the rippling shock wave hit the broad swords, a scorching heat could be felt bursting forth, as it did, it completely engulfed the falling swords. One after the other, the illusionary swords started to collapse; the only thing that could be seen and felt was scorching heat and collapsing of the illusionary swords.

A light suddenly flashed in Mich Son's eyes as he watches the swords collapsed, they hadn't managed to do the intended damage that he thought they would but at least some damage was created.

The illusionary broad swords were able to kill one hundred and twenty members of the Sky army, this couldn't be said to be a great accomplishment nor was it a big disappointment either, but to a losing side, it wasn't anything big to secure their victory.

The battle between the two domains was drawing to an end as the lack of pure Qi to support the two domains was slowly draining away, the battle powers of the two were cut in half, their aura weakens and the bright lights lost some of their intensity. The ice shards, spikes, fire whirlwinds all disappeared as the two domains sucked the life forces of the twelve mages that forcefully activated the domains, as their life forces drained away, the domains collapsed in on themselves, creating a massive shock wave that destroyed every shield on the battlefield.

Anywhere the shock wave went, destruction followed. Men and women, warriors of both armies died by the dozens, a massive dust storm rose on the battlefield, everyone's field of vision was blocked as persons continued to die none stop. When the dust storm ended, the sight that invaded everyone's eyes was horrible to the extreme, dead bodies were lying everywhere as far as the eyes could see, blood painted the front lines as paled faces could be seen coughing mouth full’s of blood.

"By the Gods, what has befallen my Green Field Empire?"

Mumbled General Mich Son as he rolled his hands into fists. He too was coughing up blood, but not as much as the weather worries on the field, General Odin Grayson was no exception either as blood was running down the side of his mouth. Two hundred worries remained on the side of the Sky Empire while only eighty-seven remain to protect the Green Field Empire, long and broad swords, hammers; Spears, shield, and daggers could be seen lying around for seven hundred meters.

"General Grayson, intel has just arrived from the emperor" shouted one of the warriors on the battlefield. He was running breathlessly towards the general. "What is it?" asked Odain Grayson without turning his head.

"The emperor has given the command to end the battle and that you should use the technique that he showed you" the minute the general heard these words, shock, and excitement were written all over his face as a cold mocking smile then creep up as his lips rose. "Very well then"
