Title: Invitation From All Powers."

Shun coldly laughed, he cast a glance at Yuruo, "Princess, I will take my leave."

"Let me come with you." Yuruo pulled his hand and spoke.

"No. You better remain here. Help me talk to the devil king. This island is so vast, I want to go and take a look." Shun smiled. He originally already wanted to leave here. This Yuxin coincidentally provided him with an excuse. There was nothing he wanted more.

"Elder sister, you went too far. I already told you he isn't just a general, he is my man." Yuruo coldly stared at her elder sister.

"There are countless geniuses here on the Fallen God Island. Any random person you choose here would be countless times stronger when compared to him. Yuruo, why must you be so obstinate?" Yuxin saw that her little sister was wasting her good intentions and decided to speak mercilessly, feeling resentful and impatient.

"Also as for you, how dare you seek something higher than your station as a servant. I will never permit you to take my sister away." Yuxin stared at Shun. For people living on the islands, even if they were female, they were all extremely fierce and imposing.

"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come." Yuruo spoke to Shun. He lightly shook his head and stretched his hand out to cradle her face. His actions caused her surprise, staring at Shun in bewilderment. This was the first time Shun did such an intimate action to her.

"Take good care of yourself, she is your sister after all and naturally wouldn't harm you. Let's meet again during the emperor's birthday celebration." Shun smiled after he spoke, before turning about and departing the area.

Staring at Shun's back, the heart of she trembled all of a sudden.

Before this, Shun had always been acting as though he was being bullied by her. After all, she was a princess and he was a subordinate.

When she pursued him, he could only hide away. But the Shun now was as though he was suddenly filled with a unique brilliant light of self-confidence.

She, who is a princess of an island, seemed to be a weak female that needed him to be taken care of. That gentle touch of his… Shun truly seemed different from his usual self.

"Hold it there." At this moment, Aden beside Yunxi coldly spoke.

Shun continued on his way as though he didn't hear anything. What qualifications did Aden have to command him to halt?

"What an arrogant fellow." Someone laughed. After which, a wave of devilish might descend from the sky as a crack opened up in the void. That person who spoke waved his hand and an enormous saber actually slashed towards Shun, bringing with it a cold, merciless aura.

"A general and foreigner, I wonder how strong he is." That person smiled as he launched the attack, speaking in an extremely carefree tone.

But at this moment, Da who has always been following behind Shun, acted. A fearsome battle aura gushed forth from him. He abruptly turned around and grabbed out with his hand, attempting to block the saber. With a thunderous bang, the saber slashed down but it was actually caught by his palm. A moment later, the saber manifestation shattered apart, turning into nothingness.

Da stared coldly at that person before he turned and followed after Shun again.

"Any random person here would be countless times stronger compared to my Lord? With such a level of strength, you guys don't even qualify to help me lift my shoes." Da spoke to the expert who attacked.

The two of them gradually faded away into the distance, causing everyone present to be stunned, especially for that expert who launched the attack.

Earlier, that person used his bare hand to grab the saber, destroying it. Although he only did so, he exuded a feeling of absolute power. There was no way that person was weak.

However that person referred to that general as a lord?

Yuxin froze, clearly she was shocked by what just happened. She then only heard Yuruo coldly speaking, "Elder sister, I already said it before. You say that my horizons are limited but the truth is, that's only something you believed to be. You think that you know everything simply because you stay on the Fallen God Island? You are the one whose horizons are truly limited."

Yuxin's expression sank. "Even if his strength isn't weak, so what of it? Just a mere general under our father, what status does he have?"

"Laughable, a mere general? If that's the case, if the many people here are not even comparable to 'that mere general,' what qualifications do they have to be arrogant? They are all a bunch of useless trash. You say that father didn't support you that year, but have you ever thought that all your actions were driven by your willfulness and selfishness?" Yuruo coldly spoke before flicking her sleeves and departing as well.

"Simply ridiculous." Yuxin slammed her palms onto the table before her angrily as her aura fluctuated.

Aden also had an unsightly expression on his face, "There's no need to be angry. She is after all your sister and she would understand your kindness in the future. Not too long from now, she will realize many things."

"Mhm." Yuxin nodded, gradually calming herself down.

"Everyone, please continue." Aden smiled at the others, as though nothing had happened at all. However, there was an extremely cold light flickering in the depths of his eyes.

On the Fallen God Island, the building which symbolized the majesticness of the island most, was none other than the Sky Suspension Palace. The myriad of islands in the Myriad Islands were originally floating in the air, and as for this palace, it floated above the Fallen God Island, as though it was an entity separate from the world.

This Sky Suspension Palace was naturally the residence of the devil emperor.

Shun followed the map but he still took quite a long period of time before he found the extremely vast floating palace.

This palace gave off a transcendent feeling, causing many to worship it.

There were four stairways in the four directions leading up to this floating palace. And in each direction, there were four different buildins. Within each of these buildings, was a supreme character. The four supreme characters, who were the masters of the four major island, were none other than the four devil king generals under the devil emperor.

"The style of buildings truly emphasizes on the word 'tyrannical.'" Shun sighed in admiration. Even his newly created floating castle didn't hold a candle to this.

Right now, countless people from all walks of life were gathered. Young and old alike.

Although it was the birthday celebration of the devil emperor, it wasn't so easy to gain access to the floating palace.

Shun stared in that direction. Outside the palace, directly before them, there was a strange-looking nest. However, Shun knew that this Nest was an extremely famous place on the Fallen God Island, named the Thousand Arts Nest.

There were guards outside, and usually, one of the four major islands would use the nest as the criteria of selection for new entries.

As long as one could exit the Nest within a stipulated time, they can choose to join under any of the four kings who were subordinates of the devil emperor.

And now for the birthday celebration, the criteria of entry also used the Nest as a test.

"For the buildings in the four directions, they all have a similar nest. Since we are already here, let's choose this nest." Shun spoke to Da who stood behind him.

"Lord, as you decide." Da spoke.

Naturally, there were also people who exited from the other side of the Nest, passing the test.

"How quick, it isn't even an hour and that man already exited." At this moment, someone exclaimed in shock. There was a young man with extremely outstanding talent who won the admiration of the crowd.

"Oh, he is Ye Zimo from the Ye Clan. No wonder." Someone spoke. After that, expressions of a sudden understanding appeared on the faces of everyone. This Ye Zimo was a ranker on the Rankings.

Devil cultivators thirsted for battle and power. On the Fallen God Island, there were two rankings - the Devil King Rankings as well as the Devil Rankings.

Devil King Ranking is the record of the strongest devil king characters on the Fallen God Island.

The Devil Ranking is the record for the most outstanding experts at the chakra sea realm on the Fallen God Island and Ye Zimo was precisely one of the rankers on it.

"I'm still not as fast as him, he only used an hour." Someone sighed.

"You are speaking of him?" The eyes of a person nearby flashed, instantly recalling someone. After that he smiled, "It's rumored that he had a pair of unparalleled eyes. On the entire Fallen God Island, for those below the devil-king realm, leaving aside combat prowess, how many would be his match just comparing battle prowess alone?"

"That's true." That person earlier nodded and laughed. At this moment, they saw two other figures stepping into the Devil Nest.

These two, were none other than Shun and Da.

After Shun entered the Nest, he instantly felt an overwhelming pressure gushing towards him from all directions. After which, he saw a pair of gigantic devil palms containing terrifying might and countless transformations blasting right at him. These palms seemed to be made up of countless palms stacked together, exuding an aura of pure destruction.

"What a copy cat," Shun thought.

"Boom!"

Shun lifted his palm and smashed out with his own palm. When the two attacks collided against each other in mid air, both crumbled upon impact. However, the energy within the palm was extremely unique. A stream of power gushed right into his mind, invading his sea of consciousness.

Although that palm was powerful, how could it be more powerful compared to the effect of his seal letters as well as the augmentation of gates? With the fusion of the two, there was no problem for him at all to overcome that attack.

Shun blinked, in the space of time he took for him to blink, a fearsome devilish might gushed forth from him. When he lifted his palm again, he actually blasted out a devil palm completely similar to the attack before, filled with indomitable might. With a thunderous boom, Shun's silhouette flashed by and directly shot through the air, exiting the Nest in a seemingly effortless manner.

The guards outside the Nest started, glancing at Shun. One of them froze for a moment before speaking, "5 minutes to exit. You pass the test."

"5 minutes?." As the sound of his voice rang out, countless gazes gathered on Shun.

"How is this possible?" Someone exclaimed in shock.

Shun froze, was he too fast?

"Little brother, are you willing to join as a subordinate under the fourth devil king?" That guard smiled.

Only to see that right now, numerous experts were walking over, several of them at the devil-king level. One of them then spoke to Shun, "I'm from the Cold Mountain, are you willing to join my group?"

"What does the Cold Mountain count for? I'm from the Thousand Edge Mountain and I'm formally inviting you to join us."

Numerous devil kings issued invitations to Shun.

5 minutes. How insanely high was his adaptability and combat abilities?
