"This is the aura of the Azure Emperor, so domineering indeed."
"Under his gaze, it was as if their very souls froze."
"Is this Conqueror's Haki? But is this really the power that Conqueror's Haki should have?"
"Even I was suppressed, how is that possible?"
"One person's aura overwhelmed everyone else."
Everyone stared in horror at Zesi, whose eyes radiated boundless majesty.
His face was filled with disbelief.
It's important to know that Blood Fortress is one of the top Martial Soul forces on Mercury.
Those Martial Soul that can enter the Blood Fortress are all the best among Martial Soul.
The members of Blood Fortress are at least Fifth Tier Martial Soul, and they are all among the stronger Fifth Tier.
Among those present were even Sixth Tier- and Seventh Tier Martial Soul.
But under the aura of the Azure Emperor, they all froze.
If he were any weaker, wouldn't he have been scared unconscious by the Azure Emperor's Conqueror's Haki Spirit?
Thinking about this, how could everyone not feel horrified?
"What? Nobody informed me? Am I supposed to infiltrate?" Zesi said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hahaha, this is not a place to run wild. Even if you are the Azure Emperor, without the Earl's order, no one is allowed to step into this place. This is Blood Fortress, the holy land of the entire Federation." A beam of blood light condensed and flashed, transforming into a person.
At the same time, a wolf howl rang out, and a figure flashed like a flash of light, instantly appearing beside the blood-red figure.
Another plume of black smoke appeared, and a person dressed in a mage's robe emerged.
"Lord Blood Shadow Swordsman Berna."
" Glory Shadow Wolf Bulun."
" Abyss Mage Adolf"
"Excellent! The three commanders of Blood Fortress have appeared."
"They are all top-ranked figures on the Hundred Souls Ranking, each one a powerhouse among Seventh Tier Martial Soul."
"With them around, even the Azure Emperor cannot act recklessly."
"That's right, they are all top-tier experts in the Divine Soul Realm. Even if they can't defeat the Azure Emperor, they can definitely hold Azure Emperor off." Everyone in Blood Fortress cheered upon seeing the appearance of these three.
In the Mercury Federation, there are currently only ten Martial Soul Masters who openly possess Seventh Tier Martial Soul.
However, that only refers to Martial Soul Masters who can control the power of Seventh Tier Martial Soul. There are quite a few people like Zesi who are unable to control their Martial Soul power, or who have not fully mastered the Martial Soul of a Seventh Tier Martial Soul.
It's important to know that Martial Soul can become stronger with the Divine Essence Crystal, but not every Martial Soul User has the talent to control their Martial Soul Martial Soul and unleash its full power. Many Martial Soul Users, due to the unique nature of their Martial Soul's power and limitations imposed by their physical bodies, can only control one or two tenths of Martial Soul power throughout their lives.
There is another situation besides this.
That is, even if the Martial Soul Master dies, their Martial Soul can still live intact in the Divine Wasteland Realm. The Martial Soul Trial has been on Earth for several decades, and there are many types of Martial Soul Masters who die of old age, in battle, or even from illness. Although these Martial Soul Masters die, their Martial Soul survive and continue to live in the Divine Desolation World.
Over the decades, the Divine Desolation World has accumulated a large number of Martial Soul, including some Seventh Tier Martial Soul.
And Berna and his two companions possessed such Martial Soul.
They are all extremely old Martial Soul; they even became Martial Soul earlier than the Blood Earl. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, their physical bodies have died, and they can only remain in the Divine Desolation World.
However, the power of their Martial Soul is undeniable.
Second only to the Heavenly Supremacy Ranking, it is also a top-tier existence among the Hundred Souls Ranking.
"Hehehe, what a grand sight! Three Seventh Tier Martial Soul spirits guarding the gate—no wonder it's Blood Fortress, the Federation's top power in the Divine Desolation World." Zesi said with a smile as he looked at the three.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, veins bulged on the foreheads of Berna and the other two.
They actually mistook them for gatekeepers?
A surge of anger welled up in the hearts of the three. But they knew that the person before them was not to be trifled with. The Azure Emperor was a terrifyingly powerful figure who had slain an eighth-level Phantom Beast. Many even believed that his strength had surpassed that of their Blood Earl.
Even though the three of them were renowned figures on the Hundred Souls Ranking, they dared not act recklessly in the face of such an existence. They could only hope that the Azure Emperor would back down.
However, this is clearly impossible...
"Although Blood Fortress is one of the strongest forces on Mercury, I am a pirate. Pirates are the freest; there is no place a pirate cannot go, and no one can stop me!"
Zesi continued.
"Do you want to stop me? That would be a very foolish decision."
"This is Blood Fortress."
"Even if you are the Azure Emperor, don't think you can move freely here."
Berna and the others stated decisively.
Hearing Berna and the others' words, the others from Blood Fortress also stood up.
Each of them exuded a terrifying aura.
The combined auras of everyone clashed with Zesi's aura.
For a moment, the two sides were evenly matched.
"Very good, I like guys with backbone, but they're just a bit too arrogant."
Zesi said with a faint smile.
At the same time, Zesi placed his hand on the longsword at his waist, and then drew the sword.
As his longsword appeared, endless sword energy danced from it.
They transformed into dragons and danced around Zesi.
" Sword Qi Roaming Dragon." (Evening)
