Title: A Single Strike Should Already be Sufficient
.....
Everyone turned their gazes onto Long Shen, feeling speechless with shock in their hearts.
As expected of someone that originated from the legendary ground. The Celestial Mountain most probably had many shocking secret arts.
This young man was the Imperial Dragon Saint. It shouldn't be strange that he would also have a perfect-grade devil-sea.
His entire body emitted dragon roars, shaking the sky and earth.
Long Shen was like a true dragon of darkness, with dragon blood and bones. His devil-sea manifestation seemed to have the eyes of a dragon, imposingly glancing with disdain at everything.
Many devil-sea experts in the surroundings couldn't help but feel their hearts shaking. If Long Shen acted against them, he would easily be able to suppress and even shatter their devil-sea.
Above Shun, his Chakra sea was spinning rapidly about, also transforming into the shape of a dragon.
This was an incredibly terrifying demonic dragon of destruction, exuding overwhelming amounts of demonic aura, standing on equal grounds with his opponent's devil-sea.
"Since I dare to challenge you to battle, it's not because I'm fighting for a sliver of chance for my survival. You will understand through this battle that once you don't have the status as the Imperial Dragon Saint, you are basically nothing." Shun quietly spoke.
He was as arrogant as he was back then at the birthday celebration of the Fallen God Emperor, even if the one facing him was Long Shen
Shun wouldn't care who his opponent was. As long as his opponent was in the same level as him, it was impossible for him to be defeated. This was absolute confidence born from his absolute strength.
Ever since he awakened from unconsciousness, he discovered that his chakra sea had shot straight to the ninth-level. Hence, his confidence now was at an an all time high.
Facing opponents at the peak of chakra or devil-sea, he wouldn't lose. There was no way he would lose.
Back then, he was at the peak of the seventh-level, a step away from the eighth. He also didn't expect that Xin's Mercury Lady Art was actually so powerful, directly pushing him past an entire level.
However to do so, Xin had to sacrifice her chakra and start again at the bottom of devil-sea.
Long Shen laughed. He had roamed the Myriad Islands for many years and had became the Imperial Dragon Saint officially after he stepped into the devil-sea realm.
During his travels, he had never met someone as arrogant as Shun before. Facing him, this Shun actually dared to have such confidence.
"ROAR!" A heaven-shaking dragon roar rang out as a devil dragon shot towards Shun.
Its gigantic body seemed to be able to cover everything. Wrenching its maw open, it wanted to swallow everything in this space.
Shun seemed extremely inconsequential and tiny beneath that gigantic maw.
Lifting his hand, Shun directly punched out. A single punch of his also caused dragon roars to shake the sky as a destructive demon dragon flew upwards, smashing into the dragon of darkness as both shattered into nothingness.
The collision of blows in the air shook the entire space. The Emperors who were there waved their hands, containing the effects of the aftershock.
Long Shen and Shun soared up into the air. To them, the space on the ground wasn't enough for their battle.
The eyes of Long Shen suddenly gleamed with an extremely demonic light. His devil-sea emitted angry roars as an incomparably sharp dragon claw appeared before Shun, grabbing towards him.
Shun's body flowed with a terrifying divine light, seemingly indestructible. Numerous seal characters manifested around him, shattering the claw of the demonic dragon that attempted to grab him.
"Long Shen of the Celestial Mountain, if your attack power is only at this level, there's no longer a need for us to fight." Shun calmly said.
Long Shen frowned. The aura Shun was exuding had reached an extremely terrifying level.
"In that case, let me show you what my true ultimate attack is." Long Shen spoke in cold arrogance.
Both his hands folded different hand signs as a blanket of darkness covered the skies, which then gleamed with a dark star light. In the black atmosphere, a pair of eyes of darkness opened.
With a loud roar, the entire space trembled with devil might as lightning filled the skies, constituting an apocalyptic scene.
A burst of lightning bolts kept generating, blasting towards Shun.
Such an attack, other than forcibly enduring it, there was no way to evade. But then again, Shun had no intentions of evading.
The chakra flowing on his body grew increasingly dazzling. Shun stared at the blasts of lightning.
The seal characters around him gleamed as the phantom of a dragon enveloped him, allowing the lightning to blast freely into him as he stood there unmoving.
However at this moment, numerous dark dragons suddenly shot out of the blanket of darkness. The spectators all felt their hearts pounding when they saw this scene. Even devil kings could feel fear in their hearts when they saw this attack.
Was this the power of someone from the Celestial Mountain? Simply too terrifying, such might, such technique, it was simply unfathomable.
Long Shen of the Celestial Mountain, truly lived up to his reputation.
"Shun, can he withstand an attack of that caliber?" Many people mused silently. They were all thinking how long would Shun be able to persist under such powerful attacks by Long Shen.
Shun stared at that overwhelming attack, his eyes as calm as ever. His Chakra energy glowed with a golden divine light as the light on his body grew increasingly bright.
More seal characters glowed around him and with a lift of his palms, powerful gigantic palm strikes blasted out, imbued with the power of the seal of different attributes.
Shun stood steadily right in the center, despite the impact of their attacks colliding against each other.
The area around him was filled with destruction. People inclined their heads and stared at the dragons and palm prints, feeling immense shock in their hearts.
Shun, who has entered the peak of Chakra sea, has he grown so strong to the point where he could fight equally against the Imperial Dragon Saint?
Long Shen stretched his hand out as a gigantic dragon arm as large as that earlier dragon instantly smashed towards Shun.
Shun stood before that fearsome attack, seemingly like an insignificant speck of dust.
Supreme destructive power gathered in his palm, condensing into a sword of destruction. With a flash, his entire body sped forward, piercing out with his sword as a pitch-black ball of destructive power manifested at the tip, piercing into the draconic arm, directly penetrating through it.
Shun made use of the hole created and dashed straight towards Long Shen who stood atop the devil dragon head.
Long Shen glanced at Shun, simply waiting there for his attack. The demonic dragon below him soared up into the sky, enveloping him protectively as it lashed its claws towards Shun, exuding immense might.
"Swish~"
Countless draconic arms shot out, wanting to rip Shun into pieces. It was basically impossible for Shun to kill his way towards him.
"Chi…"
A terrifying destructive light was unleashed. Shun's body shot forth, dashing right into the midst of the draconic arms.
Thunderous rumbling sounds echoed out ceaselessly, and the gazes of all the spectators froze.
"RUMBLE!"
Destructive light radiated forth as Shun who was holding the sword appeared. He then slashed his sword towards the head of Long Shen.
"BANG!" A strike landed. However at this moment, an extremely dangerous aura gushed forth.
The body which Shun attacked completely vanished and Shen appeared below the demonic dragon.
He was as imposing as ever, incredibly handsome. Lifting his hands, countless number of spears banded together, penetrating everything, wanting to drill right through Shun.
Phantoms of wings appeared behind Shun. With a beat of the wings, his silhouette flickered, vanishing so fast as though he was like a bolt of lightning, reappearing in the air.
Staring at Shen who was beneath him, Shun could sense that in terms of power, his opponent should be a level weaker than Monoshiki.
This was especially so in terms of attack. The last supreme power attack Monoshiki unleashed using that artifact was terrifying to the extreme.
Shen was slightly weaker. Back then, he fought Monoshiki to a draw when he was only at the seventh-level, depending on his Fiend-god form. Under the fearsome augmentation effects of everything, his power had reached the ninth-level.
But now, there was no longer a need for him to depend on them. His base level of power was already sufficient to deal with this opponent before him.
"Your strength isn't bad." Shen stated.
"But your strength isn't worth anything at all." Shun quietly replied.
The sword in his hand gleamed as vast amounts of destructive chakra gushed forth, enveloping everything here.
"A single strike should already be sufficient." Shun calmly spoke. Boundless energy gathered as a heavy wind gusted by, causing the sky to change color.
Shun descended downwards as a vortex of destruction materialized, quickly expanding, radiating beams of destructive might that engulfed everything in this space.
Fearsome rumbling sounds rang out, the expression in Shen's face drastically changed.
Dragon roars shook the sky, as boundless demonic dragons shot out.
However, within the vortex, there seemed to be a supreme demon capable of world destruction destroying everything, devouring the dark dragons.
That sword stabbed down from the sky, who was able to block it?
The apocalyptic storm descended as the expression of Long shen turned pale. He was in the center of the storm and he could feel that his body was on the verge of being destroyed completely.
Amidst draconic roars, he lifted his palms skyward, yet there was no way for him to block that attack.
"This…" The spectators were all breathless. Shun was actually stronger than Shen who hailed from the Celestial Mountain?
