Path of the Tyrant King

The moment that Ye Yuyan entered Heaven's Realm, various lightning bolts started to gather. But these did not originate from the sky, rather they came from the forests and in the beams of light were various beasts.

Snakes, bulls, horses, and even lions stampeded in the form of lightning coming towards Ye Yuyan. His followers remained on the ground showing their solemn respect towards him.

When suddenly the first of the beasts emerged, Ye Yuyan eyes flashed with a contemplative light. He flicked his sleeves and suddenly frost qi burst out.

The qi shot out like a sharp sword slashing apart the first of the lightning beasts. The lightning horse that was slashed exploded and transformed into a lightning mark. More started to appear, the first of which was a deer formed from lightning.

Ye Yuyan pointed towards the lightning mark, stirring it into flying towards him. In front of was a writhing lightning bolt that seemed to have life.

"What are these things?" Nesilia said horrified as she watched more beasts appear.

Ye Yuyan's eyes flashed with a cold light as frost qi aggregated from his body without end. The frost qis burst out each as their own sword slashing different beasts.

"What's your name?" Ye Yuyan asked as he looked down on the old man. The old man looked up to Ye Yuyan and answered solemnly: "Alister"

"You are the first to hear my call and for that, you shall be the first of my kinfolk." Ye Yuyan benevolently towards the old man who was kneeling on the ground. The old man's eyes shined with happiness as he held back tears.

Ye Yuyan slashed his palm with a dagger, deep crimson blood flowed out and he tapped the lightning mark. The red lotus on his forehead started to shine releasing a domineering aura. Every beast at that moment looked towards Ye Yuyan with reverence and greed.

He dripped a drop of his blood onto the lightning mark and suddenly it turned into a deep red mark. The mark flew forward and fused into the body of Alister and his aura skyrocketed. His aura spread blanketing all of the blood sect disciples in a cloak of red lightning

A powerful blood essence erupted from his body as his eyes shined with malice. His dreadful gaze turned towards the beasts as he condensed a red lightning bolt in his right arm.

All of sudden as if joining him the blood sect disciples stood up, each with a lightning cloak around their red robes.

"Kill!" Alister roared as he threw out the red lightning bolt.

"AARR." A lightning tiger roared as the red lightning bolt slammed into it. Then suddenly the lightning bolt detonated into a blood-red pool of slaughter.

The birds in the air near the tiger were wiped out as the pool formed killing all life in the area. Suddenly all the disciples lurched forward with red lightning swirling around their bodies.

The slaughter had started, but Ye Yuyan's eyes remained calm and cold as he slowly observed the mysteries of the lightning marks.

Anytime a beast was killed they would yield a lightning mark, the size was dependant on the type of beasts. Lions and tiger yield large marks, but birds like sparrows yield small lightning marks. The killer of the beast would absorb the lightning mark feeding their own lightning mark.

"How are they able to use the blood dao? I thought we couldn't use our abilities here." Nesilia questioned as she turned her attention from the battlefield to Ye Yuyan.

Suddenly a lightning wolf tore through a blood disciple and lurched towards Nesilia. She noticed immediately and fearful tried to dodge back and grab her grimoire. Ye Yuyan's eyes turned cold at that moment, a world of ice and death was reflected in his eyes.

"Scram!" He roared as he stomped on the ground and a powerful frost qi exploded out from his entire body. It started to spread instantly encasing the ground in permafrost.

Suddenly the wolf was frozen in the air as it lurched becoming an ice block that slammed on the ground. A thick stream of frost qis lingered around Ye Yuyan's form almost pressing against his robe.

'His frost propagation is even stronger, his truths are almost at the level of laws!' A deeper fear formed in her heart at that moment.

When a cultivator has formed their totem even a pseudo one, it means their truths have taken form. After the cultivator becomes one with the truth, they can comprehend a law and manifest that law and so much more.

That was the path of cultivation for all experts, and she had seen Ye Yuyan go from puny cultivation to an unfathomable expert near the realm of laws in less than a month.

"Alister, cease and desist. We have other matters to attend too." Ye Yuyan said as Alister was busy commanding the blood disciples in their attacks. They had already killed a majority of the beasts that had emerged, all that was left were straggling remnants.

"Yes, my majesty!" Alister said vehemently as he absorbed the lightning cloaks back into his body. The disciples dispelled their cloaks as well returning to their regular red color. They turned their attention to Ye Yuyan as they waited patiently.

Underneath Ye Yuyan's feet materialized the Red Lotus, its lotus petals unfurled as it rapidly spun below him growing in size. Until it completely carried up all the blood disciples, Nesilia, Maven, and even the old man.

Ye Yuyan guided the lotus with his mind as it flew through the air as a lotus would atop a pond. Ye Yuyan eyes gazed across the land as he noticed various auras in the western land.

The closest to him was on a plateau where he could feel the strong presence of water qis. The gathering aquatic qis danced in the skies leaving blue trails toward the plateau.

Near the large mountain at the center of the world was a blockade made from heavy and dark shadow qis. The qi's intertwined creating a massive spiked wall, with black spears jutting throughout it.

The blockade wrapped around the base of the mountain and thunderclouds ascended all the way from the bottom to the top hiding the wonder hidden within. But every so often a flash of lightning would reveal various colors hidden inside the black clouds.

The last place was the strangest of all, it was a flat plain that looked ordinary at first. But as the red lotus approached what appeared was a crimson world of slaughter.

The plain changed into a battlefield, even the sky above the plain had turned red from the sheer blood. Flames burned all around as beasts were constantly slaughtered.

At the center of all this wreckage was a temple around it were various palaces and pavillions. But all the pavilions had scratches and damage, unlike the temple. The temple was completely flawless, the only strangeness to it was that it reeked of blood.

Around the temple was a moat but this moat was not made from water, but rather it was a moat of blood.

The moment Ye Yuyan's red lotus appeared in the sky the humans in the city turned to look at the sky and roared with excitement. The temple started to shine with a red light, one that had not shined in ages.

"The Temple of Blood has finally awoken!" Alister exclaimed with glee! Ye Yuyan's red lotus floated down and suddenly a blood red barrier appeared around the temple.

A hole opened up at the center for the red lotus which flew down through it landing on the temple land.

The blood disciples and Alister quickly fell to the ground as if they were going to kiss it, even Maven fell to the ground soon after unable to move.

"Damn it! What is this?" Maven roared as his body slammed to the ground. He felt as if the weight of the world had fallen on his back. Nesilia remained unfazed as they watched the Alister and Maven struggle to stand up.

"What happened to them?" Nesilia couldn't help but ask.

Ye Yuyan didn't answer her as his eyes were focused into the temple. The temple had a simple design at the perimeter was a wall and an iron gate.

To the temple was a few hundred jade steps. Between the four support pillars at the door were two protectors.

To the left was a black horned demon with nine red lines along his body and a serpent coiled around him. Then to the right was a golden crow with a 9 colored tail and in its left eye was a lightning bolt and in its right was a flame.

Ye Yuyan brought himself back from looking into the temple and suddenly the red lotus released its aura again allowing everyone to stand up again. Maven and Alister stood up but they felt a crick in their neck after being held down for so long.

"This place isn't suitable for those without special bloodlines. You'd best all leave, I'll open the gate." Ye Yuyan said distractedly most of his attention was toward the temple.

"I understand your highness. We shall proceed with the plans laid out so long ago." Alister said as he bowed and gathered the disciples heading toward the gate and Maven quickly joined them. Ye Yuyan flicked his sleeve shooting out a wind that opened the iron gate.

Song Yue couldn't help but feel uncomfortable being left alone with Ye Yuyan. Her body writhed as she struggled to hold in her fears.

"Relax yourself, I have no bad intentions." Ye Yuyan consoled in a cool and even tone.

"How do I trust that?" Song Yue accused with the distrust obvious in her voice. Ye Yuyan couldn't help but chuckle inside as the image of a certain woman passed through his mind.

"Because I'm a married man!" He said enthusiastically

"You? Married?" Song Yue responded sarcastically.

"Enough of that though, I have something I need you to do." Ye Yuyan said with a playful smile that left a bitter taste in Song Yue's mouth.
