98: Chapter 98 The Absolute Ruler

"Hmph! Let this be the last time."

Xiao Yan snorted coldly, and his entire Aura instantly retracted.

As Xiao Yan's Aura retracted, everyone present suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Many people had seen Lion Heaven's petty actions, but they would not intervene, all waiting to see the performance of that young man in the purple-gold robe.

But his performance was simply too terrifying!

They had all nearly thought they were going to stay here forever!

"Damn it, Lion Heaven, you really have the guts of a dog! If you want to die, go die somewhere else; don't drag everyone down here."

The middle-aged man in the yellow robe sitting on the far right, having good manners, advised Lion Heaven.

And that person in the purple robe also shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with Lion Heaven's attempt to test him.

Master Qing, seeing this, slowly stood up. She glanced disdainfully at the disheveled Lion Heaven below the stage and said, "Since everyone has arrived, let me kick off this meeting..."

This meeting was also thanks to Master Qing; it was she who contacted the various factions of the Northwest Continent, and then those major factions issued notices to those within their sphere of influence.

It was only natural for Master Qing to initiate the opening.

Dozens of minutes later, when Master Qing finished explaining the content regarding the United Council, the first to announce his joining was the middle-aged man in the yellow robe on the far right, followed by Lion Heaven below the stage.

Subsequently, every faction signed and submitted their membership contracts. From then on, the contract took effect, and these factions became members of the Northwest United Council.

Before arriving, these factions had already received warnings from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and these major powers. Now, having witnessed Xiao Yan's terrifying strength, they were unable to even express rage, let alone resist this somewhat unequal contract.

And with this contract taking effect, Xiao Yan had peacefully and legally unified the Northwest Continent!

Seeing this result, Xiao Yan also revealed a joyful expression, appearing extremely satisfied.

Beside him, Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan's joyful face with a face full of admiration, her eyes shimmering, her expression intoxicated.

Even Medusa on the far left had shining beautiful eyes; in her gaze toward Xiao Yan, a trace of fanaticism was vaguely revealed.

Medusa understood that when these contracts were submitted to the stage, it meant that Xiao Yan, that this youth of only nineteen years old, had officially become the absolute ruler of this Northwest Continent!

No one could disobey! No one dared to question! This was the absolute ruler!

As the protagonist, Xiao Yan, seeing all the contracts submitted, slowly stood up at this moment.

When everyone saw Xiao Yan stand up, the originally noisy sounds instantly came to an abrupt halt.

Master Qing silently sat back in her own seat, leaving the stage to this ruler of the Northwest Continent, this noble youth who would become renowned throughout the entire Fighting Qi Continent.

"All things are born unequal, but the rights as life are equal. Therefore, when any form of organization acts to wantonly destroy these rights, it is my enemy, it is our enemy..."

"You have adapted to the principle that the strong are respected; therefore, when I am the supreme one, you must adapt to me..."

"If you are willing to follow the footsteps of this Saint, from now on, you shall be my followers and be protected by this Saint."

Xiao Yan announced one United Council Law after another in a flat tone. Regardless of whether these Laws were reasonable or not, they would be carried out.

Even if it meant rivers of blood!

It would be done regardless of the cost.

"As of today, the United Council establishes the United Army. This Saint appoints Medusa as the Supreme Commander of the United Army and bestows upon her the Saint Seal of the Upper Flame!"

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, a seal wreathed in flames appeared in mid-air. With the appearance of this flame seal, the fire-attribute energy in the air instantly surged, and the temperature suddenly soared by dozens of degrees.

Three energy Clones slowly peeled away from Xiao Yan's body, eventually surrounding this fire seal.

The green energy Clones unleashed a powerful Aura without restraint. Under this Aura, only experts at the Dou Wang level could barely resist, while those with the strength of a Dou Ling were actually pressed directly onto the ground!

"My three Clones each possess the strength of a Half-Saint. Although each summoning, once entering battle, can only last for three hours, it is enough to protect the United Army."

As Xiao Yan's words fell, the three green energy Clones slammed into the Saint Seal of Flame, and then, all the flames instantly retracted, leaving only a green seal that caused the space to ripple slightly.

Under everyone's gaze, the seal slowly descended in front of Medusa. Medusa stood up, extended her jade hand, held the seal in her hands, and bowed slightly toward Xiao Yan.

"Many thanks, Lord Half-Saint. I will certainly not disappoint your expectations of me!" Medusa said in a firm, resonant tone.

"Mm, carry this seal with you. You can draw power from it for your own use; whether for Cultivating or fighting enemies, it can play a significant role." Xiao Yan said to Medusa as he saw her catch the seal.

Xiao Yan flicked his sleeve, and three pale green seals landed in front of Master Qing and two other Dou Zuns. He said, "Sealed inside these is one of my energy Clones. When you encounter a crisis, you can use it as a trump card."

"Many thanks, Lord Half-Saint!" The three of them stood up simultaneously, looking at these seals with somewhat fanatic eyes. This thing possessed the power of a Half-Saint!

If preserved well, it was enough to serve as an heirloom.

However, when the three of them looked up and saw Xiao Yan smiling at them, their expressions instantly turned solemn.

"We will certainly carry out Lord Half-Saint's orders!"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly at this and said, "No need for courtesy. The operation of the United Council in the future will still rely heavily on you all... Do not be stingy with the seals; if you run out, just come to me to ask for more. I can manufacture these things at will."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone felt it was incredible. These things could be manufactured at will?

Wouldn't that mean Xiao Yan's strength was also far beyond that of an ordinary Half-Saint?

Consequently, their gazes toward Xiao Yan became even more awe-struck. Since he could casually bring out such terrifying treasures, Xiao Yan's strength could be imagined.

However, they were overthinking it. The reason these Clones could maintain such great power was still due to the Exotic Fire.

When Xiao Yan was able to use his Soul to summon Spiritual Qi, he had conducted experiments, fusing Spiritual Qi with Exotic Fire Fighting Qi. Although the power did not increase, it was even more outstanding as a Fusion agent between Exotic Fires.

Therefore, the energy Clones composed of four kinds of flames were easier to control than the previous Exotic Fire Beads, though the Fighting Qi consumed was also extremely vast.

This type of energy that could exist for a long time was different from the Exotic Fire Beads; it did not keep the flames on the verge of explosion, but rather completely fused them, forming a shape that could be preserved for a long time like the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.

Because Xiao Yan's Soul power was immensely strong, extracting a wisp of Soul to control the energy Clones was also easy, and the strength of this energy Clone also lay in the manufacturing of Exotic Fire Beads.

Just take out a part of the body and divide it into Exotic Fire Beads.

Therefore, as long as there was no battle, the energy balance could be maintained, sufficient for long-term preservation, only without Xiao Yan's control, it could not be sealed again.
