King Of Hell's Reincarnation

Unsealing Olethros: Leaving The Capital

Yan Ming sat cross legged in his courtyard, taking in deep breaths, the duel had taken a huge toll on him even though it looked like he won without much effort.

If Bennett had gone on defense, dragging it out till his elemental possession was over he might have lost, he couldn't keep elemental possession on forever, it had a limited duration and was taxing on his body, if he didn't spend most of his blank points on endurance he wouldn't have lasted for so long.

Bennett walked into the courtyard, he had yet to recover from the duel but he had to hand over his prizes.

"Here is the map you requested for, and this is a high grade fire core, the emperor specifically ordered it to be given to you, it's one of the top three best treasures in the imperial vault." Bennett said, placing emphasis on the emperor to ensure Yan Ming knew how he got to obtain such a priceless treasure, he had initially expected a shocked expression from him but he still had that passive, indifferent look on his face.

'Show some respect, this is the empire's national treasure!'

"This is the best you have? I know I wasn't expecting much but it's really worse than I expected." He said with a light sigh then picked up the orb case along with the map and waved a hand towards Bennett, shoving him away from the courtyard.

After chasing the speechless and discontent Bennett away from the courtyard Yan Ming returned to his room, placed the map on a stool and opened the orb case.

In it was an orb smaller than the size of a fist radiating intense energy.

"This should be enough right?" He asked.

{Yes master, it's enough to unseal Olethros}

"Then use the rest to recover, I'll search for more energy sources to unseal the others."

{Thank you master!} Tian Luo said, it's shrill voice filled with glee.

"How do you go about this?" Yan Ming wondered, it was his first time doing it and he was pretty clueless about it.

{Just hold onto it}

He picked up the orb and dropped the orb case, tiny red tendrils grew out of his skin extending towards the orb, gradually wrapping round it, a transparent screen appeared in his sight.

{Seven Infernal Flames Of Hell}

The next moment the progress shot up, increasing by hundreds every second.

{Olethros: Status (sealed)}

{Unsealing process: 1979/10000}

{Unsealing process: 2479/10000}

{Unsealing process: 3079/10000}

{Unsealing process: 3589/10000}

The orb grew smaller with every passing second, it's density decreasing over time, while the progress shot up even further.

After a few minutes the progress was finally filled up, a light crackle that felt like chains breaking apart came from his meridians, a warm soothing flame flew through his body, relishing in the feeling a light smile appeared on Yan Ming's face.

"It's been just a few days but I'll admit I missed this feeling."

The absorption speed increased even further, draining what was left of the orb in mere seconds.

"How was it?" He asked.

{I managed to recover a bit, it isn't much but it's a hundred times better than my previous dying state, I've recreated the system into a new, better version}

"Oh, show me."

{Authorities}

{1. Primordial Sovereign Of Flames: Fire resistance +100%, Fire affinity +100%}

{2. King Of Hell, Ruler of The Abyss: All citizens of the infernal realm are under your control and must bow to you.}

{3. Wielder Of Hell's Mandate: You wield one of the ten primordial weapons forged from chaos and command the authority of hell, the powers of the infernal realm are bestowed upon you}

{4. Lucky glow: As the son of the universe, every actions of yours has a very high chance for it to succeed}

"There doesn't seem to be any difference here, or am I mistaken?" He asked with a frown, aside from the bloodline which had changed from {None} to {Hidden} and the lucky glow there didn't seem to be any other new features.

"Even the shop is still locked." He said while tapping on the shop icon on the upper right corner.

{It's only a new feature now, it's nothing much I'll create others the more I recover}

"Oh? Which feature is that?"

{Just like I was able to absorb the flame core to unseal the flames and recover I can now absorb it to recover your cultivation as well}

{Also I made a trade with origin and enabled you to absorb energy from other element and utilize them although at a slower and weaker rate than fire I hope it will help a bit} Tian Luo said, provoking a surprised expression on Yan Ming's face for the first time in ages, the weight of his casual words created a whole new, different world filled with opportunities for him.

As a being created from fire, representing flames one of the basic elements of the universe he had absolute control over fire but in exchange he was unable to use other elements. But here he was, suddenly able to control fire and other elements as well.

"How did you do it? And what are the conditions for me to use them? Do I just have to learn them?" He asked, no matter how he tried to use other elements he was unable to use them, it felt like a barrier stood between him and the elements.

{You'll have to absorb energy sources to unlock each one of them, just like unsealing the flames, recovering your cultivation and healing me, you need to absorb enough energy related to those elements}

"That's all? Even more reason for me to return to the infernal realm as soon as possible, I never expected such a surprise." Yan Ming said, stood up then walked towards the map placed on the stool.

"I could just increase my cultivation and rush over to the infernal realm but that won't help, I don't know what I might face there, it's better to gather some resources in the mortal realm first, I hope Tian Yi doesn't notice anything during this period."

"As long as I have Olethros nothing in the mortal realm is able to pose a threat to me." He muttered, opened the scroll scanning through the map, marking out spots he suspected would give birth to divine treasures them rolled it up.

"I've stayed here for long enough, time to leave."

"Did you give it to him?" Herlous asked.

"Yes your imperial majesty."

"What did he say?" Herlous asked, his fingers tapping gently on the armrest.

"Uhm--, he said 'This is the best you have? I know I wasn't expecting much but it's really worse than I expected.'" Bennett replied, feeling a bit relieved as he watched the emperor's face blacken, at least he wasn't the only one feeling frustrated by Yan Ming.

"Call him over." Herlous ordered.

"Understood your majesty." One of the guards standing nearby said then walked out of the courtroom towards Yan Ming's courtyard.

A few minutes later the guard returned with a perturbed look on his face "Your imperial majesty, I searched his courtyard but there's no one there."

"No one's there?"

"Oh, I forgot to say this earlier, I think he mentioned leaving the capital for a while." Bennett said, he also didn't expect Yan Ming to leave in such a hurry either.

"Why didn't you say this earlier! He has the flame core, and the challenge with Sitrus will be holding soon!"

---

A few miles away from the capital Yan Ming was walking across the plains, he had never felt so light before, raising his head he stared at the skies above with a smile.

"Destiny is really a funny thing don't you think Lie Xing?"

I'll be locking the novel here but this is where things start getting really interesting, why do you think Yan Ming's wives betrayed him? Why is Yin Chen still alive? What happened to the ten primordials? What do you think Tian Yi will do when she finds out what went wrong in the infernal realm and why did chaos become silent? What happened in the dark age? Does Yan Ming really posses the control he assumes over the three realms or it's just an illusion fabricated by his mind?

Welp, read on to find out more, I assure you this journey will be fun, thanks for reading.
