The power within the blood-colored coffin continued to pour out for several minutes. Lu Jie, at this moment, floated in midair with his eyes closed. With the power of the Elixir of Eternal Life, he managed to reform his body, no longer appearing as an ethereal soul like before.
A tremendous magical force solidified around Lu Jie. Within a few meters of him, the magic was easily visible, as if it formed a distinct domain.
"So this is the domain of a sovereign?" Lu Jie opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding magic. With a mere thought, he could manipulate the magic as if it were a part of his body. Even with a casual punch, the magic would amplify his destructive power to an unprecedented level. He even had the confidence to believe that he could kill a king with just one punch.
"But something is still lacking!" Lu Jie observed the two kings before him, Hai Yao Mord and Black Blade. He licked his lips, thinking that he could use the power of these two kings to make up for the missing portion. It should be enough!
Sensing the dangerous gaze from Lu Jie, both Hai Yao Mord and Black Blade felt a chill down their spines. They immediately entered a state of battle readiness. Hai Yao Mord had lived for thousands of years and belonged to an ancient race, so he knew more things. Naturally, he discovered Lu Jie's state.
"He hasn't achieved the status of a sovereign yet. Although the embryonic form of a domain has appeared, he hasn't undergone the baptism of heavenly punishment or reshaped his magical body. He is still not a true sovereign, at most, a pseudo sovereign!" Hai Yao Mord truly understood how a sovereign was promoted. The embryonic form of the domain was just one aspect. To truly become a sovereign, three conditions must be met.
The first is the domain, which goes without saying. The second is the baptism of heavenly punishment. Anyone who reaches the level of a sovereign must undergo the baptism of heavenly punishment, transcending their physical body to forge a new one using new energy, adapting to the "power of magic" that only a sovereign can wield.
The third is the "magic crystal." After condensing the "body of magic energy," the energy in the entire body also condenses. It is also the core of the sovereign's domain. Without the "magic crystal," it is impossible to truly form a sovereign's domain.
Meanwhile, Lu Jie used a tricky method. This was something Mord had already noticed, and he understood his method. However, he couldn't help but admire Lu Jie. He truly was a genius to come up with such a method.
Lu Jie used the Elixir of Eternal Life in Mord's hands to construct a new body. Of course, it wasn't a true physical body; it was merely a "body of magical power" built with life force and magical energy. Lu Jie used this magical body to replace the body of magic energy and thus formed the embryonic form of the domain.
Strictly speaking, Lu Jie's desire to break through to become a sovereign was nothing more than a wild fantasy. Because "magic power" and magical energy are two completely different forces, no matter how much magical power one has, it is still impossible to possess "magic energy!" That power can only be wielded by sovereigns. It must be known that sovereigns can control magic energy because they have undergone the baptism of the world, surviving the heavenly punishment, and receiving the blessing from the world. The power of magic energy is fundamentally impossible to grasp easily. If Lu Jie's opportunistic method could succeed, how could there be only a few sovereigns throughout the countless years of the continent's history?
However, Lu Jie didn't think so. He felt that his power was incredibly strong now. Even this sturdy ghost ship couldn't withstand a single attack from him. Under his current momentum, the ship had already started to collapse and crumble.
"Just a little more, and I will solidify my path to becoming a sovereign using the blood of you two kings!" Lu Jie laughed wildly. As they heard his words, the two kings were taken aback, immediately understanding his intent. He wanted to use their lives to advance even further!
At this moment, the two of them glanced at each other and made a direct choice to cooperate. Even though they had just fought to the death, they were now facing a common enemy and had made the right decision instantly.
As for expecting Lu Jie to spare them? How could that be possible? The probability of Lu Jie doing such a thing was so low. As kings, they had their pride. How could they go pleading and groveling? Even if death was the result, they would fight to the end! For these kings, their dignity was not to be trampled upon.
"Take action! He has just constructed his body, so he cannot fully unleash his power. Only by destabilizing him can we have a chance to escape!" The knowledgeable sea nymph Mold immediately said to the Black Blade.
"Then let's kill him!" Although the Black Blade was a bit embarrassed in the previous battle, he managed to preserve his strength. He only suffered a few minor injuries that did not affect his fighting ability. One could say that he was currently at his peak.
As for Mold, the sea nymphs possessed a unique advantage on the sea surface - they naturally received the favor of the ocean, with their magical power recovery rate at least three times that of an ordinary king. They had just fought with the Black Blade for a short time, and they were still in their prime state.
With two king-level fighters at around five stars, maintaining their peak combat strength, teaming up to deal with a pseudo sovereign who had not yet fully mastered his power, or rather, a limit-level king, this could be considered an unprecedented great battle, even rare in the history of the continent over two thousand years ago.
However, this scene took place on the vast sea, with only Bexia hidden in the void as a witness.
"True form of the sea nymph!" With pious hands clasping the trident, Mold's figure slowly grew in the astonished gaze of Bexia, and in just a few breaths, he reached a height of ten meters. The three-pronged trident in his hand also grew simultaneously, reaching a size of at least seven to eight meters.
As Mold transformed, the Ghost Ship could no longer withstand his power. It was directly shattered by the immense force, and coupled with the damage from the recent battle, even with the protection of magic, it could not withstand such destruction. It split apart from the middle, breaking into two pieces amid a loud noise.
After the transformation, the aura of the sea nymph Mold became even more powerful, at least twice as strong as before. At the same time, the Black Blade also unleashed his full power. Although he was not as dominant as Mold, he still appeared extraordinary, even a bit unusual.
Behind the Black Blade, pairs of eyes emerged in mid-air. They seemed like some kind of pattern, but they also looked like real eyes. When one stared at them, they saw an endless abyss of darkness!
