Chapter 1109: Lord of Chaos

Her words made him fantasize about the possibilities. His heart started beating faster and his expression became unnatural.

Nonetheless, he chose to be a gentleman and didn’t change the topic: “Why did you insist on following my mother’s portal?”

“Because I met her in Bronze Cauldron. She was trying to find your father’s soul while I was looking for the treasury.” She smirked and knew that Feiyun wouldn’t do anything.

“Later on, your mother left Jin but left behind a portal only known by her servant and your father. And you as well, so I sought you out in order to find her.” She continued.

“Why do you want to see her again?” Feiyun frowned.

“That’s… a secret.” Yaoyao said. Her perfect skin and flushed cheeks made people want to kiss her.

“Let me guess, you two fought in Bronze Cauldron and you lost.” Feiyun shook his head.

“I can’t tell you.” She changed the topic: “There’s no point talking about this, don’t you want to know about the blood?”

Feiyun smiled, thinking that he was right.

This annoyed her but she still said: “I didn’t find the remains of the great phoenix in the treasury, only a few drops of blood floating on top of a heavenly ocean. I only managed to take one drop so if you need it, you can go there instead of risking your life against the big shots.”

“You really only got one?” Feiyun remained skeptical.

She sighed and raised three fingers to swear: “I swear that I only got one drop before the closing of the treasury. Trust me, I’m not lying this time.”

If the consequences of swearing to the heaven were real, half of the people in the world would be dead - Feiyun thought.

He glanced at the bottle on stage and contemplated: ‘Not in Bronze Cauldron, only a few drops of blood. Could the remains be deeper in there?’

He then thought about the tree inside the vessel. Was there any connection between him and the divine phoenix?

***

The auction finally concluded. The drop of blood was won with a bid of 4,800,000 by the phoenix tribe.

A pseudo-saint from there came personally and displayed their wealth, ending the competition. Many sighed and lamented losing the auction.

“Boom!” Suddenly, a murderous energy engulfed the air and turned into dark clouds. Souls and skeletons floated in the air, issuing deafening howls.

A skeletal claw reached downward, the fingers were as large as pillars, and the fingernails were as sharp as claws.

It broke through the auction house’s ceiling and seized the bottle.

“Poof! Poof!” Weaker cultivators were reduced to blood from sheer pressure.

Many palaces and buildings on the street collapsed, turning into ruins stained with blood.

“Ignorant fool, do you know what this place is?” The manager of the auction house turned into a gigantic ape towering at one hundred meters.

No one expected that a manager alone was a demon monarch.

“Hmph.” A thunderous scowl came from above and caused the manager to bleed from all orifices. He became smaller again and was suppressed. Auction workers came to help him, stopping him from being forced down to the ground.

The cultivator in the air was monstrous, just his voice alone grievously injured a demon monarch.

Several more cultivators appeared, ready to fight. One of them was an old demon with a moon symbol on his forehead and withered skin.

He looked up and said: “Lord of Chaos, how dare you? The king shall obliterate you for this.”

“The king of the market has not been seen for thousands of years, I do not need to be afraid of the dead.” The hoarse voice answered.

Nether winds came and forced the demon monarchs back.

“Worthless fools, how dare you speak before me?” The voice sneered as the clouds started flying away.

A fiery phoenix stopped its path and said: “The blood is ours, you will not leave this place.”

Phoenixes were proud and had no fear of any opponent.

“Whoosh!” It spewed out sinflame and burned the clouds, reducing the skeletons and ghosts to smoke.

Meanwhile, Feiyun had already run away because the pressure could have killed him.

“Where’s Mo Yaoyao?” He looked around and fought off the ghosts while looking for her among the ruins. He had no idea where she went.

“Rumble!” The phoenix pseudo-saint’s claws tore the area into void zones.

“I do not wish to further antagonize the queens by killing you, don’t force me.” The voice said domineeringly. The nether energy intensified and turned into a tornado to trap the phoenix.

“Whoosh!” The skeletal claw broke through the phoenix’s fiery barrier and sent it flying.

Keep in mind that a phoenix pseudo-saint was far stronger than those in the same cultivation realm.

“I respect Soaring Phoenix Queen and will not kill your kind. If anyone wishes to take the drop of blood back, come find me at the first gate of hell.” He declared.

There were other pseudo-saints present but they were intimidated after seeing the phoenix’s defeat.

Suddenly, another frightening aura engulfed the entire market. Everyone felt an instinctive fear afterward.

Feiyun nearly dropped to his knees. This was akin to seeing a god and feeling nothing but reverence.

“The king.” The pseudo-saints’ expression changed.

As for the demon monarchs from the auction house, they got on their knees without feeling ashamed. There was nothing wrong with kneeling before a saint.

Feiyun’s bones were rattling from the pressure but he chose not to kneel. His inner core activated and alleviated the pressure.

Among the crowd, only he and the pseudo-saints managed to remain standing.

“King of the Market…” Lord of Chaos’ voice changed, no longer as dominant as before. The dark clouds receded as well.

“Whoosh!” They turned into a beam and broke through space, wanting to escape.

“Boom!” An invisible force pulled him back from the dimensional zone and slammed him into the ground.

“Honorable King, I apologize for offending you, here, have the blood back.” He threw the bottle back before running again.

“Ahh!” As he was running, he suddenly let out an agonizing scream.

A black hand fell out of the clouds and landed on the ground, turning a thousand-mile radius into death.

Fortunately for him, he only sent one hand instead of his entire body. Nonetheless, this was still a substantial injury.

Of course, given his reaction, he wouldn’t dare to seek revenge.
