Title: Strange Young Man
....
"Strong!" The eyes of the Vast Sky Emperor flashed when he saw this scene.
Shun's usage of his domain wasn't as sturdy as his usage of his techniques. In reality, Long Shen's usage of domain was slightly deeper.
However, when one's attack reached a certain limit in terms of strength, it was able to sweep aside everything else.
This supremely strong attack of Shun was like an apocalyptic light that sought to destroy everything.
With Shen at the center, countless dragon phantoms manifested, their roars filling the area, yet they had no way to block Shun's attack.
Under the power from that technique, his dragons of darkness were destroyed one after another, absorbed into that terrifying vortex.
Long Shen grimaced, a dragon ring on his finger shot out an intense burst of light as a supreme golden dragon appeared, enveloping protectively around his body.
The vortex continued spiralling wildly, seeking to destroy everything but it was actually blocked by the golden layer of light provided by the golden dragon. It clashed unceasingly into the golden layer, unable to break it apart.
Long Shen actually used a defensive-type King grade weapon.
Such a weapon was easily controlled and utilized, it was definitely an absolute treasure.
When the storm abated, Shun stood in the air calmly staring at the silhouette of Shen surrounded by that golden light.
Everyone inclined their heads and stared in their direction as waves of shock rose in their hearts.
They have already felt that they overestimated Shun but never would they have expected that he was truly stronger than Long Shen.
Right now, victory and defeat has already been decided. Without a doubt, Shun was the winner.
What made the Fallen God Emperor and his subordinates shiver was that this time around, Shun has yet to activate that Fiendgod body of his nor had he used that black hole attack.
This meant that if both of them were to fight without weapons, Long Shen would die for sure.
A character strong enough to suppress Long Shen, what sort of character was he exactly?
However, Shun had no look of satisfaction on his face. Right now he was at the ninth-level, defeating Long Shen wasn't a matter he felt it was worthy to be proud of, even if his opponent came from the Celestial Mountain.
Given his's identity and status on the Celestial Mountain, he should be equal to the most common of peak-level geniuses of the Outer realms as Kaguya described, Ishikki's base level.
And for him and Monoshiki, they were both already standing at the very pinnacle, hence he didn't feel strange for either being able to defeat Long Shen.
Also, the young man with the ordinary features seemed even stronger than Long Shen, who knew what sort of place the Celestial Mountain was?
Most probably, for characters of Long Shen's level, there shouldn't be many of them.
In the Outer realms, a character on the same level as him and Monoshiki should definitely be extremely rare as well.
Hence, Long Shen's strength was basically inferior to Monoshiki's. Shun didn't feel that it was strange.
The layer of light around Long Shen faded away as an incredibly ugly look could be seen on his face.
Defeat. As the Imperial Dragon Saint, he was actually defeated after being challenged by an outsider, in the eyes of so many people as well as his own army.
'"Long Shen?" Shun spoke in a low voice, however his voice travelled into the ears of the Imperial Dragon Devil Army, sounding extremely mocking.
They came here in such an imposing manner, and he didn't even place the Emperors in his eyes. However in this battle, their arrogance was completely grinded away.
Long Shen of the Celestial Mountain was actually defeated by an outsider at the same level.
Silence was everywhere, only Shun's mocking laughter continued echoing out.
"Who are you exactly outside?" Long Shen stared at Shun. Shun's attack earlier was overwhelmingly powerful.
Shun should have been using an ultimate art. Since that was the case, his identity would definitely be an extraordinary one.
"Since you have already lost, why is there still a need to ask so many questions? According to our prior agreement, shouldn't you bring your army and leave here immediately?" Shun calmly spoke.
Long Shen turned about and walked towards his army. His expression was ice-cold, his eyes flickering with an intense killing intent.
"I did promise you that if I lost, I would leave this place and no longer interfere in the matters of the Fallen God Island. I will naturally accomplish what I promised." Long Shen spoke.
Shun furrowed his brows, Long Shen's tone seemed somewhat strange, like he was unwilling to accept the ending.
"However, my Imperial Dragon Army didn't promise you anything." Long Shen coldly added, his words causing Shun's expression to turn extremely chilly.
The smile on the face of the Vast Sky Emperor fell as well.
He then spoke, "Using the status of the Imperial Dragon Saint to make that promise, yet you are here playing word games. Are you not sullying the prestige of your Imperial Dragon Devil Hall?"
"IMPUDENT!" He coldly berated. "I will naturally accomplish what I've promised. However, my army will still kill him. Even if people gossip about me, I don't give a damn. When a peak-level genius of the Outer realms comes to our Myriad Islands, how can we allow him to leave here alive?"
"Peak-level genius of the Outer realms?" The eyes of everyone flashed.
They should know that for those who can defeat Long Shen, there was no doubt that they would definitely be geniuses who stood at the pinnacle of their realms
"As expected, you are truly despicable. You want to use my death to cover the shame of your defeat. Could it be that you really think it would be able to mask your humiliation?" Shun shook his head, seemingly unperturbed by the aura locking down on him.
Things like promises were nothing to people with no honor.
Even for disciples of the Celestial Mountain, they were the same as well.
"I will remember the shame of this defeat. However I will never allow an outsider to cause storms of conflict on our Myriad Islands." Long Shen's voice was filled with determination, his killing intent unabated.
Just like what Shun had expected, when devil exeprts did things, they weren't bound by any restrictions at all, doing whatever they wanted. So what if he was the one who lost? He still wanted him to die.
"You seem to have completely ignored my words." At this moment, the young man in white, with the ordinary features suddenly spoke.
Long Shen's eyes flashed, turning to the white-robed young man as he spoke, "Outsiders coming to our Myriad Islands to make trouble. In addition, he is one of those genius at the very pinnacle. Don't you feel we should eliminate him?"
"The Imperial Dragon Devil Hall roams the devil world, taking on a supervisory role, exuding imposingness causing everyone that sees you to grovel. In your eyes, those who disagree with you should be put to death, only those who comply can survive. The degree of forbearance can no longer been seen from any of you." The white-robed young man quietly spoke.
Long Shen's eyes flashed. He didn't understand what degree of forbearance this person was speaking about. They were from the legendary Celestial Mountain, why would they need to tolerate others?
Eliminating all threats, killing everyone who disrespected the Celestial Mountain. This was their role, a sacred mission given to their Devil Hall. Why would they ever need to tolerate people?
In their eyes, people can only be categorized into two types. To be killed, or not to be killed.
"Scram back to the Celestial Mountain and reflect more." The young man calmly spoke, his words causing the hearts of everyone to tremble.
Scram back to the Celestial Mountain?
"Aren't you interfering too much?" Long Shen stared at him unhappily.
The young man slowly turned his gaze about. After which, he took a single step forward, moving towards him.
"Careful!" The Imperial Dragon Saint Army instantly moved.
Long Shen also hurriedly activated a defensive treasure, causing his body to be enveloped by a screen of protective light.
However, the young man in white directly walked towards the screen of light and stepped into it. His body seemed to transform into a formless substance as he entered the light screen bit by bit, appearing before him.
"Are you scramming away or not?" The white-robed young man smiled at Long Shen.
Shen had gone completely pale. He stared at the silhouette before him which was like the devil himself.
This bastard, after breaking through to the True-Lord realm, he was actually so powerful to this extent?
"What character is he in the Outer realms?" Shen continued to ask in a domineering manner.
"You are from the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall. We are both from different halls yet you lack even basic respect for me. Tell me, should I kill you or not?" The young man continued speaking in a low voice, his words causing Shen to tremble.
The experts in the army who stood in the surroundings all stared dumbfoundedly at the young man in white.
This terrifying fellow, if Shen really defied his orders, he most probably would truly dare to kill him.
Simply because, he, was he.
One had to know that the evolution from the Emperor realm to the next realm give a qualitative change to both energy and domain. Any casual Emperor couldn't hope to withstand an attack from a True Lord.
Shen had an ugly look on his face. He stared at the young man before him and finally nodded after a long moment, "I will bring my men and leave immediately."
The young man stood there unmoving. She turned, waved his hands at the army and spoke, "We will all leave now."
The Imperial Dragon Army then soared into the air, onto the back of the dragon as they flew towards the horizons. The entire army was actually leaving because of a single person.
"Who is that fellow exactly?" The eyes of everyone turned to the young man in white. This young man most probably had an even higher status on the Celestial Mountain when compared to the Imperial Dragon Saint.
If not, Shen wouldn't have been so afraid of him.
Shen was already so insufferably arrogant before Celestial emperors, yet he was so meek before this young man.
"Sir, who might you be?" The Fallen God Emperor asked. He was very curious regarding the identity of this man.
"It's not important who I am." The young man laughed. He turned his gaze to Shun and spoke, "The reason why you are in such a hurry to find some people is because you and Monoshiki are both participating in an inheritance battle of the Otsustsuki clan, right?"
Shun turned to the young man. This person actually knew so much about these matters, he even knew about the inheritance battle that he just recently found out.
"I know of the solution that can enable you to easily find those you wish to find and also get the inheritance." The young man smiled.
Shun glanced at him and asked, "What is the solution?"
"Go to the Celestial Mountain."
The young man laughed, causing Shun's gaze to stiffen.
Celestial Mountain!
The solution spoken of by the young man was actually the Celestial Mountain.
"I use chakra and am from the Otsustsuki clan. You are someone from the Celestial Mountain, why are you doing this?" Shun asked.
"If you don't ascend the Celestial Mountain, there will naturally be others who would do so." The young man laughed. He then turned about, departing the area like a gust of wind
"Also, what is chakra? What is devil energy? Aren't they all just a form of energy in the end?" His voice resounded throughout the palace.
