I alone am the Honoured One!

Arcane Enclave...

A technique Zhao Tian himself created after comprehending the space and time energies, which distorts and condenses the space and time around him for about 10 meters.

Around him, the 10 meters are his own domain, where he reigns supreme.

Hm?

Theron Voss's gaze narrowed in thought as he felt the sudden shift in energy 'The air around him changed. And he retracted the powerful sword.'

'It seems like he had another trick up his sleeve. Clever brat.'

Looking at his contemplative face, Zhao Tian smiled mockingly "What happened? Not attacking anymore?"

Theron Voss's lips twitched in frustration as he uttered in a cold voice "Arrogant brat..."

With a single wave of his hand, Theron summoned a cascade of razor-sharp blood blades.

*sleesh* They sliced through the air in deadly arcs, each one imbued with a vampiric essence that made them glow in ominous red energy.

*feen* However, as the barrage of blades sliced through the air, it suddenly slowed as it reached 10 meters within Zhao Tian's radius.

'In this space, I control time and space... it is my domain.'

*flick* Zhao Tian's gaze condensed and in the next instant, he teleported behind Theron Voss and raised his hand, delivering a swift punch to his face.

Wha-

Theron barely managed to spin around, just in time to see Zhao Tian's fist, brimming with condensed astral energy, slice through the air toward him.

*sleesh* The fist missed by a fraction, but still, the sheer force left a visible mark, grazing his cheek and sending a thin line of blood trickling down Theron's face.

*swoosh* Theron Voss quickly dashed back to create some distance between them and his eyes squinted, 'What.. happened just now?'

He raised his hand to touch his cheek, fingertips brushing the wound 'He suddenly appeared behind me.. and those blades too; they suddenly slowed down.'

Zhao Tian was amused that Theron Voss actually managed to dodge his punch.

The moment he appeared behind Theron Voss, it effectively means... Theron Voss was in his domain, constrained by his space and time energy.

He shouldn't have been able to dodge that, his body should have slowed down by the time energy... but since he is levels above him in cultivation, he easily dodged.

'If it's someone on the same power level as me.. they will be moving like a sloth inside my domain. This vampire is too powerful.'

'And another thing is.. this vampire bastard has not gone serious yet, he is just playing around.'

Taking a deep breath, his eyes condensed 'He is clearly more powerful than me... I should run away to save my life.'

'But.. how far can I run away? I will face powerful opponents like this in my life. I can't just run away and hide.'

'And this is a rich battle experience.'

'Against powerful enemies like this, I shouldn't use a sword recklessly, which I am not proficient in. My physique is my most powerful tool which I can use.'

As he gripped his palm, ready to strike 'He is still within 200 meters around me, so I can still teleport near him landing a surprise attack.'

As Zhao Tian prepared to teleport, *WOOOSSH* he noticed an enormous ice glacier striking through the air aimed at Theron Voss.

Who is that?

Theron Voss, too, sensed the incoming attack, his crimson gaze flashing as he raised his palm and blood condensed rapidly, forming a protective barrier before him as he thrust his hand forward.

*THRASH* The glacier shattered on impact, ice shards scattering in every direction as red mist lingered in the air.

"What is a vampire doing here in my sect outskirts?"

Hearing a chilling voice, Zhao Tian's gaze flickered to the beautiful woman with purple hair who was dashing towards them. 'Who is.. she?'

*swoosh* He hurriedly teleported away from there and disappeared away.

"Fuck!" Theron Voss, sensing her power even from afar, darted backward into the city with a single, powerful leap.

With unmatched speed, he disappeared into the crowd, blending seamlessly among the city's bustling market streets.

*flick* "They escaped..."

Ji Shuang muttered, floating in the area as her gaze flickered toward the broken building below and the purple token hanging on her waist, jostled slightly.

*swoosh* Soon, two more men and a woman dashed to where she was standing and bowed their heads slightly "Sect Master..."

Ji Shuang waved her hand dismissively, keeping her gaze on the battlefield. "I sensed a disturbance here, powerful fluctuations of foreign energy," she stated coldly, her eyes narrowing.

"Question the witnesses nearby. Find out precisely what happened here and if anyone saw those intruders."

"Yes, Sect Master." The Elders nodded their heads and dispersed from there.

...

*swoosh* Zhao Tian dashed back to the Sect and landed on the outside as he made his way into the sect.

His mind spiraled into thoughts 'I saw it only vaguely... but was it a purple token on her waist? is she the Sect master... Ji Shuang?'

'Well I also heard her voice; 'What is a vampire doing in the outskirts of my sect' So it must be her.'

'She must have come there after the little commotion we caused...'

'Haa... I thought I could finally go all out.'

As he was walking through the courtyard of the sect, someone suddenly hugged him from behind covering his eyes with their palms, blocking his vision.

A warm, playful voice whispered close to his ear, her breath light as a breeze, "Guess who?"

Eh?

Zhao Tian smiled dryly and replied "Sister Nue."

"Haha.. correct, little brother." Qi Nue giggled and retracted her hand from his eyes

Zhao Tian turned around and looked at the two sisters, who were brimming with smiles on their faces "Good morning, Little brother."

With a nod, Zhao Tian returned their smile "Good morning, sisters."

Qi Nue gently nudged his shoulder "Have you had breakfast, Little brother?"

Zhao Tian nodded his head and Qi Nue wrapped her hand around his shoulder "Then come on little brother, let's go to the Alchemy Chamber."

"You told us that you want to meet Master, right? Last time you couldn't see her. But now she is available."

Hearing this, Zhao Tian nodded his head "Oh, let's go then."

The three of them began walking down the stone pathways of the sect grounds, passing towering bamboo trees swaying in the morning breeze.

The two sisters moved easily with Zhao Tian, sharing snippets of recent events and exchanging laughter as they walked.

As they rounded the corner, the grand Alchemy Chamber came into view.

Qi Nue's grip on Zhao Tian's shoulder loosened as they neared the entrance, where other disciples, mostly dressed in similar robes, passed by with trays of ingredients, scrolls, and delicate vials filled with colorful potions.

They soon took the elevator and went upstairs...

Walking to the room, Qi Nue opened the door, and Zhao Tian's gaze flickered toward the woman lying lazily on the floor with a book in her hand.

As the door opened, the woman turned her head and her green eyes gleamed in curiosity looking at the handsome young man.

The woman has short black hair in a bob cut with green glowing eyes and tan skin.

Zhao Tian smiled softly and the woman tilted her head "Nue'er, Xue'er.. who is this cute junior?"

Keeping his smile, Zhao Tian stepped forward "I came here to propose a deal."

"I can teach you alchemy..."
