Title: So Weak

....

Although Shun wasn't afraid of challenges, if everyone sought to pick on him because of his seventh-level chakra sea, and considering the fact that the vast majority here were at the peak of chakra sea, it would undoubtedly be a huge burden due to the consumption of his energy reserves.

Also if this was the case, he definitely wouldn't be in his optimal condition when facing against Monoshiki.

"You aren't my opponent. Just leave." Shun quietly spoke. This person would be eliminated sooner or later and even if he doesn't fight, others would do so.

Undoubtedly, the best choice is making the enemies here retreat of their own will without needing to waste time and energy on a battle.

However, wanting to make someone from this devil region retreat just because of a single sentence was evidently impossible.

He only saw the lips of the opponent curling up in a cold smile. Both his palms glinted with red light, radiating a bloody aura which screamed danger.

Shun shook his head. As he willed it, a sword condensed from his chakra in his hand and materialised.

"Using weapons. You aren't worthy of sitting in the elite sector," the opponent said.

"Between you and me what does rules count for. Last chance, leave or die," Shun said as he brandished the sword.

"Shameless,"

Shun, who was in front, shook his head lightly at how obstinate this opponent was. He already took the initiative to retreat but this man still chose to pursue after.

"Bzz~"

Shun abruptly turned. His speed was as fast as a lightning bolt as he rushed towards that person.

"Humph!" The blood-colored palms of the opponent suddenly enlarged and grabbed towards Shun. The red light radiating from the palms directly engulfed Shun completely.

"Puchi…"

Shun moved, reappearing behind his opponent. His entire body simmered with fearsome chakra energy while a sword wound appeared on the body of his opponent.

A moment later, the sword light in the wound directly erupted completely. His opponent had a look of terror on his face as he screamed in agony. He was being torn apart from the inside, until he was minced.

He was completely dead before he even finished screaming.

From afar, there were two devil experts who coincidentally saw this scene. They didn't advance forward but chose to sneak away silently.

That single sword blow caused chills all over their bodies. It was best for them not to antagonize that fellow.

....

"Using swords to hide your true strength?" The Blackstone Devil King mused as he nodded in total agreement silently. This fellow was strong yet he chose to keep a low profile, even sparing at nothing to avoid battles.

Although people would gossip, the Blackstone Devil King felt that he faintly understood Shun. This was because Shun looked like he had great ambition, he was doing all this for the last battle.

"This little fellow is truly interesting." Merl's beautiful eyes turned in the direction of Shun.

"He whipped out a weapon right from the start. Although he didn't unleash any power from it, such an act isn't the way a king should behave. Only Monoshiki, killing whoever who blocked him with no questions asked, is truly a king on the path of devils, the epitome of tyranny. Such an aura isn't what the young man with the sword could compare with." Old Kan spoke faintly. He still regarded Monoshiki extremely highly.

Tyrannical and cold, killing those who blocked him. Only those with such qualities could be considered true devils who would grow stronger and stronger, eventually becoming the most powerful.

"There's logic in Old Kan's words." Merl laughed. She was the Lord of the Celestial Lodge and her personality was naturally extremely affable and pleasing to others.

For the Celestial Lodge being able to exist on the Fallen God Island, the backing of the devil emperor was an absolute necessity.

Today, everyone saw how she leaned against the devil emperor. Who else would dare to touch the Celestial Lodge in the future.

However, Merl understood that there were some people whom she couldn't afford to offend. An example was the Old Kan. This old man was someone who had a very heavy weightage in the devil emperor's heart. She definitely wouldn't offend him, hence, she has to agree with whatever he said.

"Look at Knal, he isn't bad as well, he has the spirit of you from the yesteryears." The devil emperor laughed, his gaze fixed on Knal.

"Although Knal isn't bad, he will still lose if he fought against Old Charl in a direct clash." The Old Kan King furrowed his brows.

Although he regarded Monoshiki very highly, he naturally would pay more attention to the well-being of his descendant Knal.

Other than Knal and Monoshiki, the other person he was paying attention to, was none other than Old Charl.

Old Charl had a rusty saber that seemed as though it was used for chopping firewood in his hand. He was always smiling and appeared old and harmless. But with every slash he made, the life of an opponent would be taken away. He killed people just like chopping firewood and nobody knew what the total number of experts who had fallen in his hands was.

Knal was tyrannical, Old Charl was sinister and cold-blooded. Old Kan felt that Old Charl's strength was better in his heart.

"However, if Old Charl encounters Monoshiki, under the tyranny of the devil path, Old Charl would die undoubtedly." The eyes of the Old Kan gleamed with sharpness.

The beautiful eyes of Merl flickered with a smile layered with deep intents. Given the status of the Old man, he actually hoped that such a powerful junior like Old Charl would die here.

Most probably, this was because both Knal and Old Charl were supreme figures on the Devil Rankings. And given how dangerous Old Charl was, he felt that he might be a danger to Knal.

However, Old Charl was also an intelligent man. He knew how strong Knal was, as well as his extraordinary background. How would he act against Knal easily.

The devil kings here were paying attention to different people, the majority focusing on the people they brought here with them. If their juniors could get into the top ten, the devil emperor would then have an impression of them. Such a matter could be considered extremely glorious.

And an even greater benefit was that they would be recognised by the devil emperor. The rewards granted were of secondary importance.

The top ten would have the qualifications to join supreme powers on the Fallen God Island or even the palace directly under the devil emperor.

If that was the case, the devil kings of the other islands would have someone as a point of contact on the Fallen God Island in the future.

Those currently fighting in the battle platform naturally wouldn't think of so much. They were only thinking of how to obtain victory and to avoid being eliminated, lasting to the end.

If someone of great talent was eliminated early, the devil emperor wouldn't spare that person a second glance. And if such a person was killed, they could only blame their own luck.

Within the battle platform, battles erupted increasingly, like a rolling snowball that was building up momentum.

There were even chaotic group battles and frequent ambushes occurring at every instant.

For example in that earlier battle of Shun, if he didn't insta-kill his opponent, those two other devil experts would definitely want to take advantage of that, fishing for benefits in troubled waters.

While at a certain location, Aden was currently fighting against an opponent.

As a peak chakra sea individual of the Azureflame Clan, Aden's strength naturally wasn't bad. Although it wasn't as outstanding as characters on the Devil Rankings, his combat prowess was still very tyrannical.

Devil might from him bubbled, his entire body seemed to be bathing in devil fire as his appearance resembled a Devil from hell.

The entire atmosphere turned scorchingly hot, flickering with redness. His powerful attacks clashed madly against his opponent and every attack which hit, would leave behind a devil flame seed in the wounds which opened up.

His attacks would also feed off the fiery atmosphere, growing stronger and stronger with every passing moment.

...

"Aden isn't bad at all." In the sector of devil kings, the Azureflame Clan Lord nodded his head when he saw Aden's performance.

"Blackstone, your daughter being able to get married into my clan, is undoubtedly her life's greatest fortune." The clan lord spoke to the Blackstone Devil King who sat not faraway.

Both of them were in-laws, he naturally was acquainted with the Blackstone Devil King.

"Clan Lord might not know of this, the Blackstone Devil King has always been unhappy with regards to the marriage. Right now, he brought his younger daughter to our clan and this younger daughter of his was even more beautiful compared to her elder sister. However, the younger one has a fiery temper and basically shows no respect to her brother-in-law at all. I heard that this younger daughter is in love with a general under him." An expert beside him transmitted his voice over.

This caused the eyes of the Azureflame Clan Lord to flash, "Blackstone, why don't you let your younger daughter marry Aden too? You should have also seen how outstanding Aden is, he will undoubtedly be a great match for her."

"Azureflame Clan Lord, why must you humiliate me so?" The voice of the Blackstone Devil King turned cold as anger could be seen on his face.

"Humiliate?" The Azureflame Clan Lord shook his head. "That should be great fortune for your daughter."

After speaking, his gaze turned back and he continued to observe Aden's battle. At this moment, Aden's violent attacks already heavily injured his opponent. However, he soon frowned, "That person will arrive here soon. I wonder how his strength is. If he is too powerful, Aden may find it tough to deal with him."

The eyes of the Blackstone Devil King gleamed with sharpness. Shun had just arrived.

Shun left the Azureflame Clan extremely early and hence the devil king of the Azureflame Clan didn't know of him. He only vaguely heard that the Blackstone Devil King brought a general with him and his daughter was in love with the general.

....

In the battlefield, Aden sent his opponent fleeing with heavy injuries. However when he saw Shun's appearance, his countenance instantly froze.

Before they entered the devil emperor's birthday celebration, he originally looked down on Shun. However after that, Zimo seemed to hold Shun in very high regards and he had managed to enter the elite sector.

Both these incidents caused him to feel an intense agitation and humiliation.

Right now as he stood before Shun, he actually wanted to see for himself how strong exactly he was.

"Just leave." Shun brandished the sword as he coldly spoke, while continuing his advance.

"Keep your weapon and fight with me." Aden's law energy was released to the limits, causing the nearby temperature to soar up, creating blistering heat in the space around him.

Shun glanced at Aden and actually kept his sword.

Might as well. If this was the case, this could be considering getting some revenge for the princess.

A violent aura suddenly erupt forth as an invisible aura energy shrouded Shun entirely.

Shun then sped towards Aden, as ferocious as a bolt of lightning.

Aden gave a thunderous roar. A lava flame gigantic palm that seemingly originated from hell smashed towards Shun. The stance of the attack was like a lava devil king opening its bloody maw.

Shun's speed was fast to the extreme. He lifted his palm and blasted it out towards the incoming palm strike. With a thunderous boom, the lava palm imprint was actually penetrated through as Shun's body shot through the hole.

Aden's countenance drastically changed. His form expanded and he slammed out once more with force .

An incomparably resplendent light radiated from Shun, erupting forth from his perfect Chakra sea that was covered in devil energy. {He's using the devil transformation art}

A terrifying fluctuation of chakra circulated around him as an enormous sword lashed out, manifesting an incomparably fearsome vortex that completely swallowed Aden's attack before shooting towards Aden's gigantic body.

Aden slammed out with his palms once more, coming in contact with the vortex of pure annihilation. At the very instant of contact, grievous wounds erupted from all over his body as he was flung heavily backwards before slamming onto the ground.

"So, you were this weak." Shun's brows twitched as he shook his head, turning about to leave the area. He couldn't be bothered to kill Aden!
