King Of Hell's Reincarnation

Elemental Possession

"A duel?" Bennett asked once again, he felt his outlook on the world had changed.

'A spiritual awakening realm kid requesting for a duel from an ember core realm cultivator, if this isn't courting death what is it? He could've requested for a spar or training but a duel?'

The main difference between a duel, a spar and training was the intent, teachings would only require soft methods, with no intent to injure or kill attached, spar occured between fellow cultivators of the same level who went all out to "win" but not to kill or injure. A duel on the other hand could even involve killing or crippling the opponent, Yan Ming requesting for a duel had obviously crossed Bennett's line.

He watched Bennett's expression change, he knew what was going on in his mind so he decided to pull even further.

"Don't tell me you're scared to have a duel with me because you might lose."

"Lose? There's no way I would lose." Bennett replied amidst laughter, he had full confidence and assurance that he would win, he was also a genius in his younger ages, he was talented enough to rise from a mere commoner to become the head of the imperial palace's royal guards, a position even the nobles and five great families coveted.

"You want me to grant three wishes for you if you win but there's nothing for me to gain if I win, isn't it supposed to go both ways?" Bennett asked with a grin.

'You think you're smart? I'm better! Watch yourself fall into my trap helplessly.'

"What do you want in return if you win?" Yan Ming asked despite already knowing what Bennett's request would be.

"After the duel you'll know tow to me, call me master and swear to be diligent and obedient."

"Okay." he accepted without an ounce of hesitation.

A deep frown appeared on Bennett's face, it felt like Yan Ming didn't even care about his words at all. "Why don't you take a few minutes too consider your words, the moment you lose you'll have to know tow and fulfill your promise or you aren't leaving."

"There's nothing to consider, I'm not going to lose so it won't hold."

"Your confidence, it's amazing." Bennett said, his eyebrows twitching at Yan Ming's arrogance.

'He won't be losing that arrogance in a short time.'

"I'm just stating facts, where do you wish for the duel to hold? I have a lot of things to do actually."

"Why shift positions? It will hold right here, I'll give you a chance, thirty seconds to attack all you want, I'll only focus on defending, but after thirty seconds don't blame me." Bennett said, his hands folded behind his back.

"I don't need your compassion." He said then raised his head towards the blue skies with eyes closed.

'Did he give up? No it can't be....' Bennett's eyes opened wide the next moment, the Qi dispersed in the imperial palace all rushed towards Yan Ming's body, right into his body, through his skins and pores, filling up his meridians.

"What's this?" Bennett muttered in shock, the phenomenon had also attracted others living in the imperial palace, the emperor who was having a meeting with other members of nobility also noticed.

"Elemental possession, I'll assume you don't know what it means right?"

"Have you ever imagined, what it would look like if you were able to call on an element itself and borrow it's powers?" He asked with an amused smile.

"Call onto an element?"

"Exactly what it means, the ten founding elements of the universe, what if you were able to call upon it, to serve you and become your weapon." Yan Ming said then stretched out his right hand, creating a sword made entirely of Qi, but it felt different, it felt more "alive"

"A divine treasure? Creating a divine treasure on the spot?"

"Brace yourself, this duel is just starting, don't tell me you'll give up simply because you saw a technique you've never seen before? I'll be really disappointed." He said, took a step forwards, each of his steps radiating strength and authority, the flames and Qi in the area seemed to bow to his command, paying their obeisance.

Bennett took in a deep breath, a wide smile appearing on his face "Give up? If I gave up simply because of any slight obstacle I wouldn't have reached the ember core realm, I've never fought someone using elemental possession before, this should be interesting."

He stretched out his right arm into the open air summoning his sword over from the villa, holding it with both hands, a sheath of Qi flowing across the surface of the sword.

"You have a divine treasure but so do I!"

On a deserted planet in the mortal realm, a wide rift opened up, three humanoid figures stepped out from the portal, they had the appearance of humans with burning red eyes, a disguise they implemented during their journey to the mortal realm.

"Where are we?" One of them, a male asked.

"The group was split into smaller divisions, scattered about randomly, we won't know where exactly we are until we check, let's just scout through this planet for it, if we can't find it we'll return through the portal." One of them who seemed to be the leader said.

"Do you even know what we're supposed to look for?"

"How am I supposed to know? I was only given a diagram, our job is to either report back when we find it or bring it back, of course the reward for bringing it back is higher than just finding it's location!" The leader replied, a greedy look on his face.

"A diagram?" The last of the three, a female asked.

"Yes, I was given only a diagram." He replied, then pulled out a scroll from the little pouch attached to his chest, unfolding it for the others.

On the scroll was a diagram, a diagram depicting the lost Tian Luo!
