Emperor's Reckoning

His words caught them off guard before they, especially Jin meticulously looked at Lyon with wonder in his eyes. Borton was already a powerhouse of his own, however, his father was an elusive figure to behold. Their difference in power was astronomic, not to mention even Jin himself was not confident in defeating Borton's father let alone killing him. 

"You're joking, right? Did you kill his father? I mean, actually, killing him?" asked Luke as he swallowed his saliva before making a wry smile. However, her daughter, on the other hand, was furrowing her eyebrows as she did saw him firsthand how his capabilities were back when the battle for the Crown was held. 

(Could it be that he is actually stronger than empress herself?) thought Sophia before her glance darted from the confident young man in a bathrobe to the hovering grand lotus above.

"Yes, I did," nodded Lyon.

Jins was rubbing his chin before one of his eyebrows risen as a question popped inside his mind (Wait a minute, isn't he flying right now? In a bathrobe?! And he is quite an at ease about it either, no way...) he swallowed his saliva hard before the anticipation killed him.

"S-S, Lyon, may I gauge your cultivation level?" asked Emperor Jin with his apparent nervous tone.

Luke and Sophia immediately took their glance toward them. The question suddenly sparked heavy suspense before they focused their glance toward the young man. Luke knew Jin for a while and only a handful of things could make him slightly stutter, especially in his homeworld. Their heart thumped and raced as they looked at Lyon's face who nodded against him

"Sure you can, there is no need to be so humble father, hahaha!" laughed Lyon as he called Jin as if he had been married into the family for years.

Disregarding his shameless words, Jin gulped before he let out his senses.

"Gh!" his mouth immediately went gaping as words stuck in his throat. His lips slowly closed before he made a harsh gulp as his eyes didn't blink, not even once. He darted his glance slightly as if he was contemplating before he put his fist in front of his nostrils as he took a deep breath. The reaction immediately scared Luke as he had never seen his brother-in-law acting such a way in his entire life of living.

Eventually, Jin let out a sigh before his stuttering mouth turned into a bright smile. He turned around before taking a deep breath as if he was enjoying the breeze.

"W-What's wrong big brother?"

"The world suddenly got a little better for me."

"What?"

"I may be losing a palace, an entire island, even the huge mountain was gone, however, from those rubbles, a phoenix soar in the sky. I could always have another palace build, though it would take some time, I could. However, what I have gained, nothing can replace it."

Luke slightly squinted his eyes in confusion before asking him, "What did you gain?"

Jin turned around with a wild smug and smirk on his face before saying, "A son, HAHAHAHA!"

His hearty laughter reverberated as the tears of the loss of his palace were long gone. With every 'ha', they trembled the already heavy suspense on both Luke and his daughter. They couldn't help but darted their glance toward the young man, leaving the attention from Emperor Jin.

"M-May I?" asked Luke as he looked at him nervously.

"Hmm... there is a better way to do this, please excuse me," smirked Lyon.

The gentle etiquette word that he said last brought concerning furrowing eyebrows to the surrounding before he crossed his arms before muttering, "Please take a step back, or should I say, hover back a little, hahaha!"

After the laughter ended, there was only a deep silence as one could hear his smirk before his black hair started to slightly flutter as the atmosphere turned heavy. The intense aura that was exuding out of his body was surreal before the four existing cities, the islands, and even the sea itself was trembling from it. 

Lumina and Luna immediately ceased their smug expressions before turning their glances at the same time toward the young man whose smirk was visible from all corners. The clouds didn't dare to intervene above him as the moon could only be baited to illuminate his figure denser than it should be. The stars didn't align but the people, whether they were cultivator experts, nobles, rich merchants, elite class, or a nobody, immediately turned wary as they looked at the source with a slight fear and caution in their eyes.

Ryona was already jumping around in joy as her orange hair waving up and down. Aelina and the beautiful sisters, Biane and Clemora, had their eyes reflected an image of the same man that kept breaking the rule and challenging the word miracle. 

"Hm?" Priscila finally darted her glance from her sleeping daughter toward the young man who triggered the current phenomena. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed before her pupils gradually constricted along with the shimmering glow that exuded from the said son that Jin had acknowledged.

(This aura! Impossible!) screamed Sophia inwardly as Lyon once again broke the very sense of cultivation.

(Unreal! How is this even possible?!) thought Luke as the world started to shake apart right before his very eyes.

The pardoned one had seen his prowess with the current cultivation that he had, yet, even his heightened presence still clenched his soul to a burning degree. He made a harsh swallow of a gulp as he looked at the young man that dared to challenge the world itself. Hidden experts may come from every dark corner of the world, but the young man in front of him was the very sun.

(He is... but just a while ago he was a strong peak Divine Realm cultivator... now...) thought Priscila as the words that were even inside her mind, got stuck in disbelief.

Kyoko shook her head as her azure hair draped around her shoulder and beyond. She smiled with a little fang peeking out. The fluffiness of her tails suddenly sprung... all nine of them. Her red eye glimmered a menacing glow as she looked at him. There was one time where he was weaker than her, however, that time went past quite shortly. 

"Big brother!" roared Jugen with a grin on his face. He was his first fan of his, he was probably his first friend ever since he stepped on this world. The exploding growth that Lyon experiencing might not comparable to his own growth, even so, the man never forgot his allies.

Emperor Jin chuckled without turning around to look at his son-in-law before muttering, "My son, is a peak Godhood Cultivator!"

His shout reverberated as the joy on his face was unstoppable with the overwhelming power that Lyon constantly exuding. 

"You dare to share your prowess on my land?"

The voice caught them off guard except for Lyon himself as he still kept his arm crossed. His smirk could be heard before he looked up with dilating pupils and a grin.

Priscila had her eyes shrunken already before she heard that familiar voice. Her neck seemed so heavy to turn as she was struggling to move her glance to the side.

With one leg on top of the giant petal, she pressed her elbow toward her knee as she looked down with a smirk on her face. Her auburn hair that was styled to a fusion of a waterfall and dragon braid altogether, fluttered against the strong wind as the grand lotus stopped hovering. There were no bruises on her body as far as the naked eyes could see, even the clothes that she wore were restored to its prime time. The sword tattoo on her nape flared with a black glow before she grinned as the atmosphere turned silent.

Lyon suddenly said, "I am, what are you going to do about it?"

"Mother, please take a step back, or should I say, hover a little, hahaha!" laughed Cecile before she clenched her fists. A wisp of pure mana started to pour out of her platinum wedding ring before the calm flow turned into a wild torrent.

"Cecile... are you...?" muttered Priscila.

"Cecile, you're breaking through?" asked Jin.

Her glance didn't answer the two of them since it was locked against the young man that crossed his arm with a grin on his face.

"Grandson, she is going to ascend to godhood, but with the physique of a war god, she would incite a heaven tribulation," muttered Shen.

"She must have been halting her cultivation level for this reason, however, with your help she should be fine, hahaha!" laughed Sun.

"Heh, as if I would let heaven took my woman away from me," muttered Lyon with a smile on his face. 

"Do it! Cecile... Torga!" shouted Lyon.

The last word gave a thump sensation in her heart as her eyes opened wide before she nodded, "En!"

(I will always trust you, and only you!)

The sword tattoo on her nape flared before an impending atmosphere was formed.
