A loud roar suddenly resounded in the entire Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range causing every inhabitants to tremble in fear. Dark mist started to emit from the Sacred Grounds like steam enveloping the entire place.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded from deep within the Phoenix Sacred Grounds. Everyone looked towards the direction of the explosion and saw that it came from where Hannya was located. A Dark Flame pillar had smashed through the ruins and shot high into the sky, and a very strong energy was emitting from the place.

They could see a dark silhouette amidst the black smoke enveloping the area..

Looking at the dark silhouette, everyone in the Phoenix clan were shocked, especially Baichuan and the clan elders.. smoke started to disperse allowing the dark silhouette to become visible.

Hannya no longer looked the way he usually did. His hair was still long.. however, it had somehow managed to break free and was now floating in the air.

His hetechromatic eyes were now shining even brighter, Dark Flame marks covered half of his left face down to his neck while a silhouette of Dark Phoenix appeared behind his back flapping it's wings burning the falling debris into ashes.

Dark Flames surrounded him as if they were guards protecting their King as his blood boiled from the sudden appearance of foreign bloodline.

The creature which is floating behind Hannya was glaring at them with it's dark red eyes, spreading a suffocating aura throughout the forest, all the beast living dropped to the ground, the beasts crouched while humans kneeled.

Xiao~~~

Cry of a phoenix echoed followed by the appearance of a beautiful woman with crimson wings. Both Hannya and the girl gave the opposite feelings.

Aura of Dominance swirled around him while an aura of Holiness is protecting her from the pressure.

As the two beings look at each other, everyone were down on their feet without making a sound, none of them daring to breathe as they waited to see what the two planned to do next.

The anger which had been dormant for so long started rising again; when his Dad died, when he was tortured, when his clan was massacred.. the anger that only erupted once and was sealed erupted like a volcano..

The Phoenix Girl broke in cold sweat.. she gritted her teeth and formed a bird hand seal..

'Ayakashi.'

Hannya who was watching the event happening outside from his mindscape heard the Phoenix.

'In order to stop your body from rampaging we need to form a soul contract so I can stabilize the Berserk Blood of Dark Phoenix..' her beautiful voice resounded inside the mindscape.

'Close your eyes and steady your breath,' the crimson phoenix ordered and Hannya who doesn't know what to do quickly did as he was told.

Hannya closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, dark flames swirled around his body, the entire scenery started to change shape..

The moon swallowing the sun appeared in the horizon, two gigantic dragon materialized ensuing two loud consecutive roar..Crimson flames also appeared swirling around his body together with the dark flame..

'Absorb both flames to your core and the soul contract would take effect.' Though Hannya could feel that the Phoenix was a bit hesitant he still followed her instruction..

He controlled the core in his body who produce a vacuum absorbing the black and crimson flame into a whirlpool..

At the same time, all the pores in his body expanded by a substantial amount; blood frantically rushed around his body at three times the usual speed, and the profound core in his body violently sucked both Flames like a bottomless pit.

Crack!

His bones produced a cracking sound.. Ka! Ka! Ka!

Emperor Profound Realm 1st stage..

Emperor Profound Realm 2nd stage..

Emperor Profound Realm 3rd stage..

He broke through multiple barriers only stopping when he reached the 5th stage.. If someone learns that Hannya's speed in cultivation they would puke countless litters of blood, most of the inhabitants in this world spent hundreds or even thousand years just to reach their current cultivation..

An 18 years old powerhouse would definitely scare the soul out of everyone..

Outside the ruins, the Phoenix Clan members were still kneeling on the ground though they could still feel pressure, it's no longer a dominant aura..

They could feel a huge amount of Profound Strength being absorbed towards Hannya's body..

The Dark Phoenix and the Woman with crimson wings turned transparent and was sucked into Hannya's body..

ROOOOAR!

Hannya's eyes shone and he spread his arm. Dark and Crimson wings appeared on his back, destroying his kimono, exposing his white body..His wings spread out and the force contained within sent debris of the trees flying in every direction. The previously dense forest suddenly changed, and the bird created a clearing within the trees.

The Phoenix clan members felt their blood boil as they saw Hannya's transformation.. Dark and Crimson feather fell from the sky..

Such a beautiful sight.

Hannya descended to the ground under everyone's admiring gaze.

Strength wise, his aura was that of Emperor Realm, however, there was something about him a mysterious air of strength which made them feel as though they were incapable of truly seeing through him, they got this feeling though that his true strength is more than what meets the eye..

Everything about him is mysterious, his both eyes different colors, the markings on his face and hair..and the most eye-catching is the full back tattoo on his back..

Observing the young man, Baichuan's eye dillated as he could somewhat see a fade image of a beast which seemed to be the 'Ancient' though he only learned about it from past record and he couldn't confirm it, an existence that is said to be the most fearsome entity in the world.. though it was faint he saw it..

Aside from him, everyone seems to have not noticed it.

[Congratulations Host for entering the Emperor Realm]

[Domain Selection is now available]

[Main Quest has been unlocked]

Hannya who just gained the control of his body retracted his wings when he was suddenly bombarded by series of notifications from the system.. he looked at the description..

Main Quest 1.0 Establish Your Clan in this World

Quest Description: A clan needs to gain a foothold in this world, spread the clans name in the world and gain the Blue Wind Empire's Acceptance.

Let the world know the existence of the Nura Clan

Quest Reward: Night Parade of Hundred Demons halo and Great Yokai Guard Token.

Quest Time Limit: 6 months, if not completed before time limit, the whole world will treat you as enemy and do everything to exterminate your entire clan.

It has begun.. Hannya frowned, he thought that the system would only provide random quest but it seems like it was his misconception all along.. the reason why it didn't produced a main quest is because he didn't have enough strength to achieve it..

He can't fail.. just the latter part of the description made him shiver.

An attack coming from all the creatures living in this world, Demons, cultivators, hidden old monster and not to mention that 'guy'. He can't afford failing this mission.. he needs to find a way to complete it as soon as possible..

"Nurarihyon-sama."

"Are you alright, Nurarihyon-sama?"

Hannya was dragged back to reality by Baichuan's voice. The latter and the clan members looked at him with worried eyes which made Hannya calm down.

He smiled towards everyone, "You all, the rise of the Phoenix Clan is close but..
