--- Chapter 262 ---
Yunlong extremely was immersed in a worldly sense. Every nanosecond, his mind explored over miles away.
"Heavenly Ruler."
It was only two words, but the area around them rumbled rather oddly.
Jin Eyu could feel the ground squirm in excitement for some reason. He raised his gaze to the sky and saw the clouds revolving above Yunlong.
Rushing cold winds swept over and danced happily around the silver-haired young man as if he was their master.
Yunlong opened his eyes slowly and looked at the armored Tang Xiao, who rushed at him like a beast.
"Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan's ability varies from person to person."
"One could control the illusion as if it was a real experience."
"One could mess with a spatial element."
"However, mine is fundamentally different." Yunlong raised his hand. "I could change nature's law order within my absolute domain."
"Even without time and space manipulation."
Tang Xiao suddenly arrived with a giant clear sky hammer in his hand.
"DIE!" He swung his hammer at Yunlong's head.
"Gravitational force x10." Yunlong's eyes flared with crimson light.
Crack!
The gravity around them increased abruptly and trapped Tang Xiao's body. He couldn't swing his hammer properly and kneeled in disbelief.
"Strong Force." Yunlong entered a stance, which is a firm horse stance. "I've never thought to use this in my entire life."
In Yunlong's first life, when he was Leon. He loved to read novels and comics every day, to the point of procrastinating his exams.
However, he also did martial arts from elementary school to his first year of high school. Now you might think, what a normie?
No, Leon didn't do martial arts because he loved them. He practiced martial arts because he wanted so badly to try those absurd moves from comics and anime.
'Of course, there is no such thing as chakra, prana, or spirit energy at that moment.' Yunlong smiled wryly.
"But, now it is different."
Tang Xiao had overcome the gravitational prison Yunlong placed on him, but it was too late.
"Full Contact Karate." Yunlong pulled his right arm back and raised his left arm.
"1st stance: Basaltic Fist."
He intentionally manipulated Strong Force on his fist and launched a punch onto Tang Xiao's chest.
Even if one's armor carefully was made of densest and strongest metal. It couldn't resist a force that binds the atoms themselves.
BOOM!
A powerful blast was created in the process and launched Tang Xiao away from Yunlong.
"As expected, it's still not perfect," Yunlong commented while looking at Tang Xiao, who luckily survived his attack.
When Yunlong started the Heavenly Ruler's state, no one could hurt him within his domain.
Unless a higher being from outside came and interference with Yunlong's control, that won't happen because he already changed the law order on his domain's boundary.
In short, within Yunlong's domain, Tang Xiao is nothing but a durable punching bag until his armor wears off itself.
Tang Xiao wiped some blood on the corner of his mouth and muttered, "A fucking monster."
He looked at the armor, which ruined a little, and continued, "Even at this level, I couldn't land a proper attack on him."
Yunlong hasn't mastered his heavenly ruler ability, but he slowly grasped everything. He couldn't maintain this for too long because it consumed tremendous spiritual energy.
Tang Xiao breathed and lunged forward with explosive momentum.
Yunlong changed his approach and used flash steps to come to Tang Xiao.
"If one punch wasn't enough, then I'm not using enough of it." Yunlong clenched his fist.
Tang Xiao read Yunlong's movement and smashed the ground with his hammer.
BOOM!
A piece of rock floated and was tossed away by his hammer like a baseball. Yunlong didn't care and ran forward.
The rock stopped its momentum and fell onto the ground with a thud sound.
Yunlong stomped the ground and caused a shockwave to stagger Tang Xiao's body.
He used a weak force now and tried to touch Tang Xiao's armor.
"What's this eerie sensation?" Tang Xiao felt something weird and dodged with a step to the side.
Yunlong bombarded Tang Xiao with punches, but he swiftly dodged them.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
They were in mountain terrain, and every time Tang Xiao dodged Yunlong's punch, a mountain instantly was destroyed.
'I couldn't let myself get touched by this monster fist.' Tang Xiao solemnly thought.
"Gravitational force x100."
"Time Freeze x100."
"Amaterasu." Yunlong coldly said.
Tang Xiao instinctively raised his clear sky hammer and saw a black flame burn it. "How could a flame burn my martial soul?!"
Tang Xiao's movement abruptly slowed down a lot, and some black flame landed on his armor, which became hot rapidly.
He tried to make the black flame disappear, but it became more fierce.
Amaterasu wrapped Tang Xiao's body instantly and caused overheating.
[Danger!]
[Danger!]
A monotonous voice escaped Tang Xiao's armor.
[An overheating has caused damage to the god-slaying armor]
[A safety measure issued!]
A weird symbol spread from Tang Xiao's helmet and covered the armor, which sealed the Amaterasu away.
"Hmm?" Yunlong noticed Tang Xiao had lost his consciousness.
The symbol became gloomy, and a hoarse voice came out. "To think the clear sky clan's leader got defeated."
"But what surprised me, even more, was that the prototype god-slaying armor activated a safety measure."
"I thought there was only level 99 title douluo in the spirit hall..."
"How amusing."
"Who are you?" Yunlong asked.
"Why should I tell you?" The person responded with a chuckle.
"It seems Douluo Continent is more fun than I expected."
"Hmm, let's see how I conquered it later."
'Neo.' Yunlong's eyes became cold.
[Tracking signal...]
[A mid-level artificial intelligence have detected]
[Location: Sun and Moon Continent]
"Hello, you still there?" The person, who underestimated Yunlong, asked.
"I'll ask you again, who are you?" Yunlong questioned with a cold tone
"You'll die soon, was my name that important." The person responded with a yawn. "Spirit Master is so dumb in this era."
"Well, have fun with the prototype and Longinus."
Yunlong reached over Tang Xiao's helmet and coldly whispered, "Have fun waiting there."
"I'll come for your neck later."
"Aww, so scary~." The person reacted with a playful tone.
He gently tapped his finger on a table and casually instructed, "Siri, activate the suicide protocol, use Tang Xiao's energy to the max limit."
[Affirmative] A monotonous voice responded.
[Activating suicide protocol]
"ARRRRGGGGHHHH!" Tang Xiao suddenly let out a painful roar.
The armor bulked, and Tang Xiao's spirit rings appeared one by one.
"Ring Explosion." Yunlong noticed Tang Xiao's technique at first glance.
"Like how I used Ning Rongrong as my doll, you also became another's a doll, huh." He commented. "What a sad life you have there, Tang Xiao."
Crack!
The helmet cracked, revealing Tang Xiao's pale face to Yunlong.
Even though he's in a half-dead situation, Tang Xiao had already lost his consciousness, so his action was controlled by the AI and inner instinct.
Clear Sky Hammer's avatar floated in the sky. A howling of a wolf echoed in the sky.
"H... Howling Wolf Destroying Sky." Tang Xiao murmured with a tired tone.
Yunlong glanced at the night sky and sighed, "I'll give you an honored death."
"I'll use one of my strongest trump moves."
Yunlong pointed his finger at Tang Xiao and said, "One of the twelve zodiacs, Leo."
"Pierce him, Leo."
As if stars responded to Yunlong's request, a Leo zodiac star pattern appeared on the night sky.
However, it wasn't a star but rather a series of giant spears made of Yunlong's handkerchief.
He has prepared this technique for two years since he started his training under Jin Eyu. Every day, he would launch an arrow into space.
Then he doubled the arrow amount day by day and created twelve lethal shots.
Represented by 12 zodiacs, Yunlong could call twelve shots anytime he wanted.
It's nothing compared to the heavenly ruler, but destruction-wise, it could destroy a star if 12 of them got launched.
So one of them was already overkilling, but Tang Xiao deserved it.
Yunlong didn't want to use it near the spirit hall, but they were far away from the spirit palace, so it should be fine.
He created a clone to take the loot and teleported himself with Jin Eyu back to the spirit hall.
"Yunlong, are you okay?" Qian Renxue suddenly hugged him.
"I'm okay, but how is the situation here?" He returned while looking around.
Cough!
Sword Douluo coughed blood as he lay on the ground with a pale complexion. All of his limbs got brutally ripped off by Bibi Dong.
Bone Douluo squirmed on the floor with a half-destroyed body. He has an expression full of ecstasy for some reason.
"My uncle..."
"Where is he?!" Tang San shouted in a hurry.
"Oh, he was about to die," Yunlong responded with a smile.
"What do you mean by that!" Tang San was horrified.
Yunlong shook his head and pointed at the sky where countless golden lights fell.
"Don't worry, you'll follow him soon." He replied without saying anything further.
"YOU-!" Tang San's mouth suddenly was stomped by Zhu Zhuyun, who had a cold smile on her face.
"Could you shut up, please?" She warned. "Wait for your turn."
"Prepare for the impact," Yunlong stated. "Goodbye, Howling Sky Douluo."
ROARRR!
A loud lion roar echoed throughout the continent, and a great earthquake rolled over the place.
A violent storm swept over the continent, making Yunlong teleport any civilians and spirit beasts within the dangerous area to the safest place with heavenly ruler's perk.
[You have killed a demi-god]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]
[You have devoured Tang Xiao's soul]
[You have obtained Tang Xiao's memory]
[You have received a 100k years old spirit ring and 200k years old spirit ring]
"ARE YOU CRAZY!" Gu Yueana suddenly shouted out of nowhere.
"I'm not," Yunlong replied with a chuckle.
The clone came back with a pile of flesh and lumped it in front of Tang San.
"Your uncle," Yunlong said, which widened Tang San's eyes.
Tang San'e eyes became red, and he looked at Yunlong with a hateful gaze. "I'll kill you." He said.
He had already lost his control and released a menacing bloodlust.
"Don't!" Xiao Wu suddenly rushed between them. "Don't kill him, please..."
"I'll exchange his life with mine, but please don't kill brother san." She continued with tears running from her eyes.
Yunlong stood in front of Xiao Wu and sneered, "You do realize that you're not in a position where you could negotiate."
"I know, but please don't kill him." Xiao Wu bowed her body onto the ground.
"Very well." Yunlong sighed while shaking his head.
"Thank-."
Stabs!
Before Xiao Wu could finish her words, Yunlong stabbed her with Greed already.
'I thought you won't use me anymore, boss.' Greed said with a sad tone.
'Don't be a drama queen now. I'll let you have the main dish.' Yunlong answered while looking at Tang San.
"XIAO WU!"
"NOOOO!"
"I'll KILL YOU!"
"I'll KILL YOU!"
"EVEN IF I'M DIE HERE, I'll reincarnate and kill you in the next life!"
[You have killed a 100k years old spirit beast]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]
[You have devoured Xiao Wu's soul]
[You have obtained Xiao Wu's memory]
[You have received 100k years old spirit ring]
[Ego Weapon: Greed, has gained physical manifestation]
Yunlong looked at the black sword with a baffled expression. A beautiful black-haired girl in a maid costume appeared in front of him.
"X-Xiao Wu..." Tang San was speechless.
A girl with the same facial features as Xiao Wu appeared from thin air, but Xiao Wu's dead body was there!
"Xiao Wu..." Tang San's eyes slowly released tears.
"Xiao Wu that, Xiao Wu this." Greed replied with an annoyed tone. "I'm not her."
"How could you compare me to the lowly beast." She complained.
Yunlong gave Zhu Zhuyun a notice, and she released Tang San from her grasp.
Tang San was released, and he ran forward to kill Yunlong.
"TANG SAN, DON'T DO IT!" Yu Xiaogang shouted in a hurry.
Tang San clearly was blinded by bloodlust and drew an incomplete Buddha's Fury Lotus, hidden weapon number one in Tang Sect.
"DIE!!!"
Crack!
"Eh?!"
Tang San slowly glanced at the broken Buddha's fury lotus, which got destroyed by Greed with a simple sword slash.
"I fulfill my promise not to kill you," Yunlong said while walking away.
"However, I never said others couldn't do it, right?"
Yunlong's maids, Greed, Zhu Zhuyun, and Kaguya, instinctively encircled Tang San. They created sword energy and stabbed him.
STABS!
"TANG SAN!" Yu Xiaogang shouted in horror.
[Your linked subordinate have killed the child of prophecy]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]
[You have devoured Tang San's soul]
[You have acquired Tang Sect's technique and Several Hidden weapon's blueprints]
"Not bad." Yunlong naturally praised while looking at the people, who stared at him in awe and fear.
[You have gained a new title]
"Hmm?"
[Name: The Child of Destiny(Passive)]
[Effect: A miracle will happen randomly around you, and fate will favor you from now on]
"..." Yunlong.
[...]
"What a bullshit."
