"It seems that you're not willing to accept that, my old friends?" Norris said darkly. He was not surprised to see Todd, Wilbur, and the Old Oriental Emperor, with angry expressions.
As a matter of fact, he was actually deliberately provoking them, for he had no other reasons to impose that condition besides to prick their inflated egos. As a spiritual emperor himself, he knew the pride of one too well.
Norris believed that these three might temporarily work with him, but they would never surrender to him and be fully loyal to him. They would constantly look for any chance they could to kill him, and he would need to sleep with his one eye open. In the future, it would be highly possible for them to break through and become middle spiritual emperors too. If that happened, they would be on par with him, and they could defeat him if they banded together.
And so, it would be stupid to let them go. It would be like taking in a feral dog that would bite the hand that fed it without any second thought. This was why, from the very beginning, Norris had planned to kill the Old Oriental Emperor, Wilbur, and Todd.
"Don't overestimate yourself!"
Boom! As Norris spoke, he let go of the limits on his strength and instantly gave off his momentum as a middle spiritual emperor.
With the effect of the nether ruling power, the entire void had evolved into his domain, and all the spiritual emperors and disciples around would have only one thought—'Surrender to him.".
Fortunately for others, Norris' ruling power only targeted three people—Todd, Wilbur, and the Old Oriental Emperor. Otherwise, all the disciples on the airships would have turned into dust.
"Go!" the Old Oriental Emperor and the other two bellowed with one voice. Their Ruling Worlds merged into one in an instant, and they all burst out their most powerful skills, which rushed to Norris at the same time.
"Now, let me show you how a real middle spiritual emperor fights!" Norris' voice echoed in a sinister tone, and he didn't even flinch when the merged strongest attacks came for him.
Instead, he clapped his hands, and the dense evil spirit ruling power around him formed into the shape of a python.
He integrated with the python-shaped evil spirit ruling power. When he and the evil spirit were united, the shadow of a ferocious devil showed up.
"I wonder if they can work together to manage to resist the attack," Jasper said in a low voice. "In my opinion, Norris seems to be a real devil."
"I agree with you. I wonder how members of the Nether Manor could cultivate evil spirit to such a high extent," Ricky said seriously, echoing Jasper's thoughts.
Boom! In the next moment, the attacks of the two sides collided against each other.
The collision between spiritual emperors would involve an explosion that could tear everything to shreds. But with the huge gap between their strengths, this collision ended very quickly. The Oriental Emperor, Todd, and Wilbur held up only for a short while before they were completely defeated by Norris.
The three of them were struck by the python-shaped evil spirit ruling power, and it pierced through their flesh like it was paper. They all landed heavily on the dirt, and mouthfuls of blood spilled into the dust.
Their vital energy and strength got weaker and weaker with each second that passed.
As they steadied themselves, they sat in the void with legs crossed and began to regulate their breaths. At that moment, even though they were spiritual emperors, they were at the mercy of their opponent. The injuries they suffered were life-threatening, and their breaths could stop at the drop of a hat.
'The blood essence of three powerful warriors who are about to become middle spiritual emperors is enough to help me move a step forward, ' Norris thought excitedly.
He could have easily killed his three opponents with that last attack, but he decided to spare them. And it was not because he pitied them, but because he had a more useful end for them in mind.
There was an air of grief and despair outside the void, where other spiritual emperors and disciples from forces including the Oriental College and the Casting Center were gathered. Their hearts were breaking, as they watched their leaders be toyed with like common warriors.
