The Legend of Min Hong

Min Hong caught the two of them and knew they were exchanging mental transmissions with each other but decided not to eavesdrop… "Since that's all… We would be leaving first…" Elder Fu spoke as he and his crew almost fled the scene, unwilling to be dragged into such matters… "We shall also take our leave…" Gong Yi added, as the rest of the Core Court Disciples tagged along and left the throne room, leaving the grumpy princess who seemed to have something troubling her and the nonchalant Min Hong in the throne hall… Min Hong then stood up to leave and the Princess body jolted slightly like she wanted to go after him or say something but was being hindered by something within her… The moment she felt the resistance, she slumped her head in defeat with a sigh; "Just know everything is not as they seem…" She then stood up and left slowly and dejectedly, and the moment she stepped outside; she looked to the sky as teardrops fell from her eyes, glittering in the daylight before dropping to the ground; 'Why would such a fate be imposed on me…' She thought to herself in sorrow before slurring her way back into her mansion… Min Hong on the other hand simply sighed before returning to his chambers, he went to the cultivation area and began to meditate in order to free his mind of superfluous thoughts, and after about half an hour, he flicked his wrists and a glaive appeared in front of him, radiating the aura of a 2 Star Saint Stage expert; "Have you absorbed all the life force in there?" Min Hong asked as a green colored figure spilled out of the glaive and floated in front of Min Hong with a its head bowed in respect; "Not yet master, but I should be able to do so before Dawn tomorrow…" The figure was Cheng; the shadow walker, and at this point, the life force from the Life Dao Min Hong had pumped into the glaive had given him something like a soul where he could house himself; "You have yet to completely fuse with the soul body, but I think it is because you have not absorbed enough life force to make that happen…" "Thus, you need to keep absorbing the rest of the life force and perhaps, when you absorb it all, it will be enough to power the fusion process to completion…" Min Hong advised; "Rest assured master, I won't rest on my laurels..." Cheng responded with a deeper bow; "Alright, when you have completely fused with the soul body, then we can begin to

think of making this glaive you permanent residence…" Min Hong added as Cheng's eyes dimmed in melancholic gratitude; If what Min Hong is planning ends up working according to plan, then he would be the first ever shadow walker who didn't need to live in the shadows anymore, and be able to experience what the world looks and feels like during the day… Even if such a life would be within a glaive, at least it would mean that he could move around, fight and begin to live a complete life from that day onwards… "I will never forget this great opportunity master has given me…" He thanked Min Hong earnestly with three kowtows before Min Hong then waved him off; 'Time to pay them all a visit…' Min Hong thought to himself before waving his sleeves, locking the void and space around his palace and then linking them into one another… This meant that anyone who tries to use the Space Dao or travel through Space to sneak up on Min Hong would find themselves within the endless void the moment they enter the palace… Seeing that everything has been set in place, he added another form of defense; encasing himself in a ball of Rebirth Flames; 'Alright, now I can leave…' Then he shut his eyes and sent his consciousness deep into his body, and the moment that happened, his forehead glowed slightly before the 'Savvy Domain' self-activated, covering then entire 15 mile wide Royal Court… ~Whoosh!~ Min Hong appeared on an extremely familiar bridge, filled with statues on either sides which were radiating contrasting auras… Beneath the bridge was endless clouds roiling and pluming with several shadows moving around leisurely within it, as occasional flashes of lightning gave brief glimpse into their gargantuan sizes and proportions… Min Hong continued on towards the massive gates in front of him and paused when he reached the position where the last statue stood; he then looked up to it and realized it was the statue of the First Ancestor of the Dark Elves as he muttered to himself with a slight frown; 'Am I just imagining things?' He said to himself, but after a brief moment of contemplation, he realized that the feeling seemed to have vanished, and after another half an hour of trying to find that sensation which never returned, he simply moved on and pushed the massive gates open and continued his journey… Bang! Boom! Crash! Min Hong was stunned by the deafening noise and ruckus that was happening in front of him, and as a matter of fact, he could feel its ripple from his current position as he frowned in curiosity and then narrowed his gaze to see what seemed to be an intense battle going on between two parties, but he could barely see what it was…  Dusts, sand, debris, Death Qi and Lightning suffused the entire area as well as body shredding ripples of the shockwaves between two inhumane level attacks… It was like two celestials were battling themselves to the death… A patch of Death Qi bolted towards his direction, destroying everything in its paths including the tiny dusts in the air, all of it was gone, but Min Hong was already about s few tens of meters of the area where the Death Qi had landed… her looked to the area and saw that everything had really died and even the soil where the Death Qi had landed had turned greyish with putrid smoke… 'Are this idiots trying to kill me!' Min Hong angrily spoke; "Dao Art; Wind Style – Blade Sphere!" Kaboom! Insanely strong winds kicked up all over the area as thousands upon thousands of wind blades appeared mid-air, shredding everything in sight before they all began to gather around themselves until they became a massive ball; "Shred!" A feminine voice echoes within the massive clouds of dust and debris; "Dao Art; Lightning Style – Lightning God Palm!" Kracka! Bang! The sky tore apart as a massive rainbow colored Palm descended towards the incoming ball of wind blades; "Eh?" An astonished voice sounded within the dust as the two attacks collided with one another;
