Title: Forcing Old Man Kan onto the Path of Death
...
With the Fallen Emperor on the island, ordinary matters naturally would be minor.
However today, when a terrifying army marched into the island, the devil experts who saw it all felt their hearts shaking. They could all sense that something major was going to happen.
Shun had fled the Fallen God Island and there were even three devil kings who attempted to hunt him down, yet all of them died.
Right now, it was evident that his return wasn't to pay a visit to the Fallen God Emperor. In that case, there was only one possibility - he was here for revenge,
Since they had entered the Fallen God Island, how could these soldiers not know of the Fallen God Emperor? And since they still came by, it only meant one thing. They weren't afraid of the Fallen God Emperor.
The gazes of everyone turned to an expert who exuded an incomparable imposingness. He stood there, simply like a divine being, unexcelled in the world.
Was this person also an emperor?
Nobody knew, but most assuredly, they would all soon know.
This group of people sped towards the emperor palace of the Fallen God Emperor. And when they were close to it, the Fallen God Emperor suddenly felt an aura. As the chess piece in his hand landed, a crisp sound rang out as his brows furrowed.
"What's the matter?" The Old man couldn't help but ask when he saw the Fallen God Emperor furrowing his brows.
The Fallen God Emperor didn't reply, but his gaze turned to the horizon as his terrifying Divine sense swept out.
A moment later, the Fallen God Emperor stood up and faced a direction as his expression turned solemn.
With me on the island, what could possibly happen?
Seems like today, even if the Fallen God Emperor was here, a major thing was about to unfold.
"All devil kings gather now." The Fallen God Emperor's terrifying Divine sense swept across his territory, causing great shock to countless people. The emperor actually issued an order personally. What was going on?
The expressions of the Old man also changed. He knew this old friend of his, and seeing the serious expression on his friend's face, he instantly understood something major was about to happen.
"What's going on exactly?" The Old man asked.
The Fallen God Emperor glanced at the Old man as a strange expression flashed in his eyes. "That little fellow named Shun, he has returned."
"Shun?" The eyes of Old man Kan flickered, did he came back looking to die?
"He dares to return?"
"He came back with the Vast Sky Emperor." The Fallen God Emperor spoke again, causing Old Kan to freeze there.
Ordinary people might not know what sort of person the Vast Sky Emperor was. But he as an ancient devil king, as well as the old friend of the Fallen God Emperor, how could he not know of the devil emperor who ruled the Vast Sky Region, a neighbouring region to the Fallen God Region?
Shun came with the Vast Sky Emperor?
The expression of the Old man turned ugly. A chakra sea character actually made an emperor follow him here?
This young brat should be someone from the outer realms by right, how did he have a connection to the Vast Sky Emperor?
Numerous devil kings gathered from all directions. That terrifying aura moved closer and closer, they could soon felt an overwhelming devil might from the army moving their way. When their divine senses swept out, the expressions on their faces could only be described with the word 'fascinating.'
Shun, the young man who rejected the emperor's reward because of unfairness actually returned so soon. Not only that, he even brought an army here.
"Let's welcome our guests." The Fallen God Emperor walked out. The group of devil kings all had solemn expressions as they followed after him.
The expression of Old Kan turned extremely heavy. The Vast Sky Emperor actually came by in person for the sake of a mere chakra sea youngster.
No matter how outstanding the talent of the junior was, Old Kan had never thought of such a consequence.
If the Vast Sky Emperor declared war because of this incident, he, Kan, would undoubtedly be a sinner of the Fallen God Region.
Not too long after, the terrifying army arrived, exuding waves of grandeur, their pressure sweeping across the sky, causing a stifling atmosphere. Other than Shun and a few others, everyone else was at the devil king level.
The spectators in the surroundings of the emperor palace, were all staring over from afar, feeling great waves rising in their hearts.
An army marched right to the emperor palace. Even the Fallen God Emperor came out personally, something major was definitely about to occur.
The devil kings around the Fallen God Emperor all turned their gazes onto Shun.
This fellow…what charisma, when he rejected the Fallen God Emperor's reward back then, everyone believed that he was finished, and would die for sure.
In reality, three devil kings did attempt to hunt him down yet he still remained alive and even killed his pursuers. Now, he actually brought another emperor here, seeking his revenge.
One couldn't say that this was a story of hot-bloodedness. Sadly, Shun was the only main lead here.
"Vast Sky, I wonder why you are here at my Fallen God Region?" The Fallen God Emperor didn't continue looking at Shun and turned his gaze to the Vast Sky Emperor.
He couldn't understand, given the sort of existence the Vast Sky Emperor was, how could he mobilize his army for the sake of a youngster?
No matter how outstanding his talent is, there was no way the Vast Sky Emperor would give him such a large amount of respect.
"Actually nothing much, I only heard that a young man was being bullied badly and hence, I came here to stand up for him." The Vast Sky Emperor casually spoke, his tone extremely carefree.
The brows of the Fallen God Emperor twitched. He knew that this Shun should be from the immortal realms and had no connections to the Vast Sky Emperor.
However, he didn't say anything to refute that. He simply smiled, "That day at my birthday banquet, Shun's performance was truly not bad. But after considering many aspects, I decided to reward him instead. To many people, this is undoubtedly an honor. To think that the personality of this little fellow would be so obstinate. However, since he is Vast Sky's friend, just tell me exactly what he wants. There's no need to act out the show any longer."
Shun frowned when he heard the Fallen God Emperor's words. If he considered things from the perspective of the Fallen God Emperor, it truly wasn't a great matter. He was only a little unfair to Shun but still chose to reward him.
Nobody would dare to reject it or like now, directly bringing an army to the doorstep of the Fallen God Emperor.
If it was others, they would definitely feel honored. But to him, what's the worth of such honour?
However, that small bit of injustice might be nothing much to the Fallen God Emperor. But to him, it was a matter of life and death.
This little bit of injustice could cause his wives in the Fallen God Region to die.
He couldn't afford that. Hence, he took the risk to meet with the Vast Sky Emperor.
"To your Majesty, it's only an insignificant thing because I am just a minor and inconsequential character. However, a single command from your Majesty might force my friends to their end." Shun spoke. "If I had lost the battle back then, I would have nothing to say. But, I didn't lose."
"As an insignificant character that couldn't enter your eye, I rejected the reward which resulted in three devil kings hunting me down, narrowly costing my life. I know that the weak have no rights to speak. Back then, I merely rejected the reward. If I talked back to you, I might have already been killed. Hence, I can only invite Vast Sky Emperor to seek justice for me."
"What justice do you want?" The Fallen God Emperor asked.
"Old Kan." Shun's gaze turned over, his eyes landing on the old man. "I wish to ask that back then in that battle, both me and Monoshiki were injured. Old Charl and Ria fought to a draw, and Knal didn't even have any worthy battle achievements. Why did the top three consist of Monoshiki, Old Charl and Knal while me and Ria were not?"
The Old man frowned. If it was in the past, how would Shun have dared to question him? But today, Shun brought the Vast Sky Emperor here. He didn't know how to answer that question.
"I ruled it that way because of my own logic. You borrowed external power of a secret art, while Old Charl and Knal killed more people, using nothing but their own strength." Old Kan replied.
"Old man, Knal is coincidentally here. Why don't you tell him to come out and fight with me? If he is victorious, he will prove that your words are right, I should die instead of being alive. Vast Sky Emperor will absolutely not interfere in this. If he is defeated, I won't kill Knal. But you, Old man, you have to pay with your life."
"RUMBLE!"
The eyes of Old Kan flashed with a fearsome coldness. How impudent was this? Wanting him to pay with his life?
"Even if I was biased back then, you want me to pay for that with my life?" The temper of Old Kan was extremely violent. Waves of anger could be felt radiating from him.
"A subordinate of yours attempted to hunt me down. I'm already giving you a chance by bringing out the suggestion of fighting with Knal." Shun's replied indifferently.
The eyes of the Fallen God Emperor were fixed on the Vast Sky Emperor instead.
"Since you did it, don't be so cowardly as to not even dare to admit it. Things will be settled according to what Shun said." The Vast Sky Emperor calmly spoke, making the final decision.
This fellow Shun truly knows what should and should not be done. He knew that it was impossible to kill the Fallen God Emperor and hence, he first chose to establish dominance using the Fallen God Emperor's subordinate.
Today he came here to be the support and backing for Shun, wanting the Fallen God Emperor to compromise. No matter what, someone would have to be sacrificed for them to establish dominance.
"What if I disagree?" Old Kan coldly spoke.
"You've already done the deed. If you don't have the courage to admit it, we will start a war right here and now." The Vast Sky Emperor replied back just as coldly.
A single sentence shocked the entire space.
"Old man Kan, the seed of karma you planted now returns and you want the entire Fallen God Region to wipe your ass for you? Ridiculous, back then how awe-inspiring were you when you wanted the Fallen God Emperor to give you a free pass?" Shun laughed coldly.
Today, the Old man was someone he had to kill for sure. He and Monoshiki had an agreement of sorts and no matter from which angle he considered it from, it was still for the best to finish this devil king off.
The devil kings brought by the Fallen God Emperor all felt the formless tension in the atmosphere. Seems like Shun truly wished to force the Old man toward the path of death.
The spectators from afar felt their hearts shaking. Back then, the Old man did indeed use his identity as an old friend of the Fallen Emperor to push things. Right now, Shun wanted his life in return.
Back then, how imposing was he? Borrowing the might of the emperor and his words were like the heaven's will. But today, Shun brought another emperor here.
The countenance of the Fallen God Emperor was extremely unsightly. The Vast Sky Emperor was forcing him.
His meaning was clear, no matter if Old Kan agreed or didn't agree to Shun's request, Old Kan would die today.
It was impossible for Knal to win against Shun. Everyone who spectated the battle event on his birthday celebration was extremely clear about this fact.
In front of Old Kan, there was only the path to death. Unless…the Fallen God Emperor went all out and decided to open war!
