I alone am the Honoured One!

"So I have absolute control over all elements?" Hearing his mutter, the others raised their eyebrows.

"Absolute control is an... overstatement." Xia Shenyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Hm..." Zhao Tian turned his eyes at her and frowned slightly.

"You have great control over your astral energy and can manipulate your elementals well, but the term \'absolute\' is..."

"I have a feeling I can do this." Zhao Tian muttered in a low voice.

Carrying Ling Huang in his arms, Zhao Tian stood up "Then let\'s just test it."

"Test what?" Xia Shenyi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"My absolute control over elementals."

-_- Ling Huang was totally confused at this point. What even is absolute control??

"Lets go outside." Xia Shenyi stood up and went outside.

Zhao Tiian gently lowered Ling Huang to the ground and she turned to Shi Yixian "Um.. what is this absolute control over elementals>"

Shi Yixian turned her eyes at her and went outside.

*sigh* "Doesthiswoman nevertalk?"

...

In the grass field, Zhao Tian and Xia Shenyi stood against each other.

Huh? Are they going to fight? Ling Huang blinked her eyes in confusion.

*thissh* Suddenly, red flames illuminated Xia Shenyi right hand and they slowly moved, concentrating on her palm, manifesting into a ball of fire.

"Starting with the weakest?" Zhao Tian smiled and Xia Shenyi flicked her finger towards him.

*swoosh* The ball of flame instantly flickered from her pam dashing at Zhao Tian at breakneck speed.

Zhao Tian extended his hand showing his palm towards the flame ball and as it reached his palm, *woosh* it disappeared.

*gasp* A flash of surprise flashed across Xia Shenyi\'s face "He didn\'t use astral energy..."

"Amazing..." Shi Yixian muttered her eyes glimmering in awe.

"Um, what happened?" Ling Huang asked.

Shi Yixian turned to look at her and tilted her head "My Liege... has absolute control over elementals."

"I know that... what does absolute control mean?" Ling Huang asked blinking her eyes in confusion.

Shi Yixian spoke with her usual indifferent tone "It means, My Liege can control all elementals. Even if the elemental attacks is his opponent\'s he can still control it."

"The elementals won\'t hurt the Archon of Elementals himself."

Ling Huang was startled hearing this "Then he can control the elemental attacks of his enemies too?"

Shi Yixian gave a slight nod "Yeah..."

Xia Shenyi\'s lips twitched looking at Zhao Tian who has a smile on his face "You are a walking cheat code."

Hearing her remark, Zhao Tian chuckled faintly.

Xia Shenyi raised her arm and a magnificent flame swirled around her. *wooosssh* A large vortex of flame appeared above her head.

"This time we are going for a slightly powerful attack."

Zhao Tian gave a slight nod and a soft mutter left Xia Shenyi\'s lips "Supernova"

*swwooosh* Looking at the hot blazing ring of fire inching near his face, Zhao Tian smiled wryly. Is this really a slightly powerful attack?

*woosh* As the swirling vortex hit him, the brimming flames disappeared in an instant. *booshh* But in the next moment, a surge of astral energy bellowed towards him.

Zhao Tian was surprised and used his instantaneous teleportation technique to disappear from there, dodging the burst of Astral energy.

*BOOM* The astral energy shattered the ground it hit obliterating the grasslands leaving a huge dent on the ground.

"Tian!""My Liege!"

Xia Shenyi and Shi Yixian instantly appeared near him and Xia Shenyi grabbed his shoulders "Are you alright?"

Zhao Tian gave a slight nod "Yeah..." he spoke as he glanced at the grasslands reverting themselves and changing into their former self.

"Was that the after-effect of the attacks?" Zhao Tian asked squinting his eyes.

Xia Shenyi spoke "No, it is the astral energy behind that attack."

"You dispersed the elemental energy but not the astral energy I used in that attack. As I am stages above you, you can\'t block that attack completely..."

"But when you reach my stage, this type of attack won\'t even harm you."

"I see.." he muttered softly, After absorbing the residual energy from the Golden Sun flame, he reached the 2nd level of Monarch Astral stage.

Now it can be said, that no one on Earth can attack him with Elemental attacks.

However, at this time, Zhao Tian remembered something and asked "Shenyi... do you remember the grey energy in the orb when we first examined my affinities."

Xia Shenyi narrowed her eyes as she recalled the sudden grey energy manifesting and devouring other elementals "Yeah..."

"Maybe that elemental is..." He murmured as he closed his eyes.

His eyelashes trembled as he concentrated his mind and he felt the powerful surge of energy flowing through his meridians.

With each passing moment, the energy seemed to grow stronger and more vibrant, pulsating with brilliance.

He took a deep breath as he tried to control the unfamiliar elemental. focusing his attention on the black energy swirling in front of him.

As he extended his hand to grab that energy...

*thriiisssh* *gasp* Shi Yixian\'s and Xia Shenyi\'s pupils dilated in utter horror as they witnessed the black energy oozing out of Zhao Tian.

*rumbbbllle* A deep, rumbling sound filled the air, as a dark aura descended upon the surroundings, causing everything to quiver with a sense of dread.

Suddenly the atmosphere became thick with malevolence, sending shivers down the spines of all who were present.

"Tia-" Xia Shenyi\'s body trembled as she felt her legs give in to terror, fear gripping her her heart. *thud* She fell to her knees and tried to maintain her composure, her eyes quivering under the coercion.

She felt as if she was being pressed down by an overwhelming pressure and fear engulfed her heart. She slowly turned her eyes and saw Ling Huang already fainted on the spot.

Darkness!

Grasping the energy in his palm, Zhao Tian opened his eyes as a sigh escaped his lips.

HUH? But the sight in front of him startled him. Shi Yixian is standing in front of him, her intense cold red eyes peering at him.

The blade of the sword in her hand was just an inch from his neck and he could feel the coldness from the blade, her whole body shivering in fear, her eyes seeping with killing intent.

"M-My Liege...." Shi Yixian shuttered.

What happened? Zhao Tian moved his eyes to Xia Shenyi and saw her kneeling on the ground, gasping for air.

"Yixian, look after Huang\'er. Shenyi!"
