"Who's the bride snatching drum? Is he crazy?"
"There's someone snatching the Monster Emperor's wife?"
"That's Princess Vivian. If I can defeat the Monster Emperor, I'll snatch her too!"
Even when the stream of people appeared on the balcony, I could still hear the crowd's discussions from the boiling cauldron of voices. But when these citizens of the royal city came closer and saw the situation on the balcony, they all fell silent at the same time. Everyone stared at me with widened eyes, their mouths gaping so wide that a goose egg could fit inside.
After a short moment of silence, there was a huge commotion.
"Dog-Headed man?
How is that possible? "
"That dog-headed man must be crazy, he must be!"
"I thought that someone would be able to save Princess Vivian from the demonic clutches of the Sea Race. It seems like I made a wasted trip. How unlucky!"
Everyone discussed and their opinions were the same. No one had confidence in me, the dog-headed man.
I naturally didn't have the time to care about the people watching the show. My gaze was focused on the tall wooden house in front of me.
At that moment, two Sea Race members in warrior attire walked out from the wooden house. However, from their auras, they obviously weren't the Monster Emperor.
"How dare you, dog-headed man! How dare you cause trouble here!"
After the tall Sea Race warriors saw my appearance, they treated me as the troublemaker. As they scolded, they pounced towards me.
I smiled faintly and didn't move. My Monster power surged out from my body. When the two of them flew into the air, they were forced back by my Monster power and fell back to their previous positions. They stared at me with their eyes wide and mouths agape.
As I revealed my cultivation, a burly man, whose body was filled with surging demonic power, suddenly stepped out from the wooden house. He was about three meters tall, with a bald head and a broad brain. He had a robust body.
This was obviously the young Sea Race Monster Emperor. Although his appearance was different from normal people, he looked dignified on the whole. He wasn't as ugly and ferocious as I had imagined.
After he stood on the balcony, he stared at me for a moment as though he was measuring my power. A few seconds later, he said in a loud voice, "Bride snatching?"
I nodded. "Bride kidnapping."
The Sea Clan Demon Thearch didn't waste any more time. After confirming, he crossed his fists on his chest. Demonic aura rolled around him. Under his bronze-colored skin, his muscles and bones expanded at the same time. Almost in an instant, his body doubled in height and became a towering giant like a mountain. Even the demonic power around him doubled.
Looking at his appearance, I was slightly apprehensive. It wasn't rare for a body to grow in size, but at the same time, his monster power cultivation also increased, which was extremely unusual.
Fortunately, I just used the Heaven Swallowing Secret Art to swallow a few Earth Level Beast Cores. Otherwise, I would have been in a passive position from the start.
The Sea Race's Monster Emperor's cultivation was the same as mine. However, after using such a technique to increase his monster power, he was certain that he would be able to suppress me in terms of monster power. Thus, he walked towards me. When he got close to me, he didn't make any fancy movements. He clenched his right fist and threw a punch at me.
Surging monster power wrapped around his fist. With a quick movement, the monster power formed a huge whirlpool around his fist, as though a tornado was violently attacking me.
I stood at the same spot and chose the exact same movement as him. I threw a punch. The surging monster power wasn't inferior to his at all. Even the monster power tornado around my fist was the same as his.
He wanted to fight me head-on, so I followed his wishes.
Even though the technique to increase monster power by one fold was magical, the extra monster power was like a rootless duckweed. I didn't believe that he could use it a second time.
On the other hand, the monster power that I swallowed came from the Beast Cores. After using the Heaven Swallowing Secret Art, I could swallow another two Beast Cores. If this continued, I would be in an invincible position.
In the blink of an eye, the two monster power tornadoes collided with each other. There wasn't any sound. After the two monster powers collided, they annihilated each other. Only the monster power that dissipated from the edges scattered on the ground of the balcony, stirring up a long dust cloud.
I didn't use any monster power in my body for this attack, but I had already used up half of the monster power that I had swallowed from the Beast Cores.
On the other side, the Sea race's Monster Emperor looked as though he still had abundant monster power, but his expression wasn't good. It was obvious that he knew that I had the same technique to increase my monster power.
He reacted quickly and didn't continue to fight me head-on. Instead, he heavily patted his chest with both of his hands. Immediately after, a large amount of liquid poured out from his pores and flowed to his feet, forming a puddle of water. Moreover, it constantly spread outwards, covering half of the balcony in a flash.
The puddle of water only stopped expanding when it reached the edge of the balcony. There was still a large amount of water droplets flowing down from the Sea race's Monster Emperor's body. The area of the puddle of water didn't expand anymore, but the depth continued to increase. Only when the lower half of the Sea race's Monster Emperor's body was completely submerged did the pores on his body finally close and no more water droplets dripped down.
At that moment, the position where I was standing was forced in front of me by the puddle of water. I could only try my best to disperse the monster power in my body to barely stop the puddle of water from spreading further.
I was extremely shocked. When I saw the puddle of water, I didn't recognize what technique it was. However, when I saw the Sea race's Monster Emperor that was submerged in the water, I had an answer in my heart.
In the second half of the Death Scripture, there was a detailed description of the Xiju realm. When one's cultivation reached this realm, one would no longer be a mortal and could be called a deity.
Regardless of whether it was in the various Daoist scriptures or folklore, the greatest characteristic of the deities was that their will could penetrate through the heavens and earth. With a single thought, they could create and destroy everything in the world.
In reality, even the Xiju immortals couldn't control everything in the world. However, the Xiju immortals could form a domain around their bodies. The size of the domain would be different depending on their cultivation. Within this domain, the Xiju immortals could control everything.
At that moment, the Sea race's Monster Emperor's body was surrounded by a vast body of water. It was his domain!
It was no wonder that this person dared to call himself a Monster Emperor even though his cultivation hadn't reached the Monster Emperor realm. It turned out that he had already comprehended the Monster Emperor's greatest divine power!
Even though my cultivation was the same as his and we were both at the half-step Xiju realm, he was undoubtedly one step ahead of me in this divine power.
If I were to face a real Xiju immortal, I wouldn't be able to resist his domain with just my own monster power and would definitely be engulfed in it.
However, when the Sea race's Monster Emperor's domain spread out, I could barely resist it with my monster power. From this point of view, the Sea race's domain that he was emitting was far from the real Monster Emperor's domain.
After I calmed down from the shock, I was slightly excited. No matter what the outcome of this battle was, being able to personally witness the Monster Emperor's domain would be greatly beneficial to my future cultivation. Perhaps, I might even be able to comprehend my own domain after this battle.
While I was excited, the Sea race's Monster Emperor was already walking towards me. As he moved, the puddle of water that surrounded him surged towards me.
During the clash of force with force, my monster power wasn't inferior to his at all. However, when facing his Monster Emperor's domain, even if I were to activate all the monster power in my body, it would still be difficult for me to resist it. I was being suppressed by him as I retreated step by step.
The balcony for the wedding was huge, but the Sea race's domain had already occupied more than half of the balcony. After retreating a few steps, I reached the edge of the balcony.
According to the customs of the Monster region, once I was forced off the balcony, the challenge to snatch the bride would be considered a failure.
I stood still at the edge of the balcony. At that moment, the Monster Emperor's domain was getting closer and closer. It was already less than a meter away from me.
I took a deep breath and clasped my palms together. The God's power that I had already activated surged out from my fingertips and formed a golden light sword. I slashed at the Monster Emperor's domain that was getting closer.
The Monster Emperor's domain suppressed my monster power. Hence, even if my monster power was in the lead, I wouldn't be able to deal with it. However, after the appearance of the God's power, the situation was immediately reversed. Against the Monster Emperor's God's power, the Monster Emperor's domain was the one being suppressed. After the golden light sword slashed down, the Monster Emperor's domain was instantly slashed open.
