Expelling the Curse

The terrifying aftershocks of spiritual energy still lingered in the hall, yet the Three Sovereigns within stared in disbelief at the petite figure that had appeared. ♡💗 🏆💎

This was also the first time they had ever seen the true form of Mandala.

Who would have thought that when the light surrounding the Great Luo Domain Lord dissipated, he would transform into such a beautiful little girl?

Only the Sleeping Sovereign on the side showed little shock, as if he already knew.

Beside Xiao Ming, Qing Yanjing had a strange look on her face. She had only thought about it casually before, but she never expected that the dignified Great Luo Domain Lord, whose fame resounded throughout the Northern Realm, was actually a girl, albeit a young one.

Having been casually forced to reveal her true form, Mandala's expression turned serious. A gleam of light shone from her golden eyes as she scanned Xiao Ming's body, seemingly probing his true strength.

However, no matter how she investigated, she could only sense that the person in front of her possessed a power as vast and boundless as the starry sky, and she could not see any trace of its true nature.

Mandala realized that she was no match for Xiao Ming, whose strength could easily suppress her, so she stopped making a move.

As the saying goes, a wise person knows when to yield, and she wasn't some stubborn fool. She immediately stood respectfully and said, "Senior's strength is formidable. May I ask what brings you to my Great Luo Heaven Domain? This junior will certainly do my utmost to cooperate..."

As she spoke, Mandala felt a pang of regret for her impulsive actions; she should have observed things more carefully.

But the title "Heavenly Emperor" was far too important to her.

Seeing Mandala's nervousness, Xiao Ming smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be nervous. Although you are an Ancient Mandala Flower, This Emperor won't eat you. However, there is something that requires your cooperation."

"This Emperor have established the Heavenly Court here, intending to bring the Great Luo Heaven Domain under my command. As compensation, This Emperor will remove the curse from your body and help you find your original form located in the Ancient Heavenly Palace. What do you say?"

"What!"

The string of words that came from Xiao Ming's mouth made Mandala's pupils shrink, her face filled with indescribable shock. Both her true form and the Ancient Heavenly Palace were secrets she had never told anyone. How did this person know them?

"I know you have many questions, but don't ask. Even if This Emperor do, I won't tell you. Just know that This Emperor have the power."

Xiao Ming ignored her, and suddenly his aura exploded, pressing everyone in the hall, except for the three of them, to the ground under his unparalleled pressure.

"This strength... is that of Heavenly Sovereign!"

Mandala had served alongside the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, so she was very familiar with this aura. It was something only Heavenly Sovereign could possess. The powerful figure before her was actually Heavenly Sovereign!

"Heavenly Emperor Majesty, I am willing to serve under your command!"

Without hesitation, Mandala shouted these words. It wasn't like she was selling herself into servitude; she was just becoming someone else's subordinate. The terms were so generous, why hesitate? As for how this Heavenly Emperor knew her information, that wasn't really that important.

When Mandala finished chanting, the overwhelming momentum receded like the tide.

The Three Sovereigns and the four others from the Nine Nether Netherworlds let out a heavy sigh of relief; they had thought they were about to be crushed to death.

However, the thought that Xiao Ming was actually the Heavenly Sovereign and that they had already submitted to him made the Three Sovereigns excited again.

This is the Heavenly Sovereign!

He is a great figure who stands at the pinnacle of the entire Great Thousand World.

Just meeting him once is enough for many people to boast about for a lifetime, and now they'll be his subordinates—how could they not be excited?

Most importantly, the power of the Heavenly Sovereign must be a super power, and the resources of a super power are far beyond what they can currently compare to.

Moreover, they had heard of the Ancient Heavenly Emperors, and they knew that this Heavenly Emperor's arrival on the Heavenly Net Continent was certainly not for establishing a small power; perhaps he could unify the Heavenly Net Continent in the future.

As founding members of the Heavenly Court, their future status will not be low.

If the timing hadn't been so inappropriate, they would have all wanted to let out a long howl to express their loyalty and relieve their excitement.

Mandala was much more composed than the Three Sovereigns. Now that she had joined the new Heavenly Emperor's ranks, she was more concerned about when the curse within her body could be removed.

The curse within her was left behind by someone who plotted against her in Ancient Times.

It exudes extreme pain at all times, a pain so intense that it could torment a powerful expert with the strength of Ninth Grade Sovereign being to the point of utter destruction.

In addition, the curse would erupt periodically, forcing her to spend years in seclusion to suppress it. This is also why she entrusted the management of the Great Luo Heaven Domain to the Three Sovereigns for most of the time.

Now that the curse can be dispelled, she naturally wants it to happen quickly.

When Mandala asked when the curse could be lifted, Xiao Ming beckoned to her and said, "You can do it now if you want. Come here."

Mandala hesitated for a moment, then walked to Xiao Ming, who sat on the throne. He touched her forehead with his fingertip, and a Green Flame, as if it were liquid, condensed. Instantly, the temperature around them rose, and where the flame burned, one could see countless plants slowly growing.

As her fingers touched her forehead, Mandala felt an extremely powerful and pure energy surge into her body along with the flames. The curse that had been tormenting her seemed to sense the danger and began to rage.

Ah!

Mandala cried out in pain as the curse that permeated her flesh and blood erupted, and black thorns burst forth from her body. These black thorns were like living creatures, tightly binding her flesh and blood, writhing like venomous snakes, greedily sucking Mandala's life essence.

As these black thorns continued to appear, Mandala's originally fair and delicate skin gradually turned dark.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow and immediately increased his output. The Jade Green Flames instantly engulfed the thorns, which exuded an eerie Aura. However, at this moment, they emitted heart-wrenching howls, as if demons in hell were undergoing terrifying punishment.

The flames surged, and wherever they passed, the thorns and brambles withered, losing their vitality inch by inch.

Despite their arduous struggle, it was to no avail.

Mandala immediately felt most of her pain subside, and a strange tingling sensation spread through her body. Before she knew it, she collapsed onto Xiao Ming's chest, who was sitting on the throne.

Xiao Ming wrapped one arm around her; her petite body was soft and smooth to the touch.

Seeing that Mandala's pain had subsided considerably, Xiao Ming left a flame within her body and chuckled as he said:

"The rest is up to you. If you can absorb half of the energy from that Life Spirit Flame, you will not only be able to remove the curse, but your strength will also increase significantly."

Mandala did not answer Xiao Ming. She leaned against him without moving, her eyes tightly closed.

The black mist dissipating from the sky made it clear to anyone that she was trying to eliminate the curse.

"Hmm~"

Soon after, Mandala groaned, her voice revealing an unprecedented sense of relief, then opened her eyes and woke up.
