Chapter 682 - Zhang Ba (1/2)
There was neither sorrow nor any hint of joy in Shen Lian. He walked down slowly from the void and ignored the moon. However, the Lunar Deity no longer dared to stay and disappeared into the night sky.
Diqiu had fallen and one by one, the demons fade with the sandstorm following the death of Emperor Xia. The respected Diqiu and the once invincible Xia tribe fell in hands of one man. It was impossible for them to make a comeback.
A flowing light flashed, Jing Shu switched back to human form and landed next to Kui Li. She looked at Shen Lian and was unexplainably stunned as Shen Lian gave her the feeling that he was invisible.
It was as if no other person or anything could knock him down. This was, of course, an illusion but it was a deep unforgettable impression.
The huge dragon body in the void fell from the sky as if a stretch of the undulating mountain range just landed on the ground.
Shen Lian raised his hand gently and the descending speed of the dragon gradually reduced. Diqiu had turned into an abyss. The waters of the Netherworld came through the ground and flowed quietly. Nobody knew how deep it was.
Shen Lian asked Jing Shu, ”Do you still want to eat the dragon meat?”
Jing Shu looked at Yinglong who maintained its dragon posture before death. The meteorites surrounding it was held by Shen Lian's mana. Jing Shu felt depressed and decided that this heroic dragon should not be consumed by her. She shook her head in response.
Shen Lian nodded his head and the meteorites and Yinglong fell deep into the abyss. A loud thumping sound was only heard moments later. This showed that the abyss was unpredictably deep.
The demonic heart in Shen Lian's palm shrunk and eventually turned into a bead. The color of the bead was as dark as night as if it could swallow any hints of light around it. He calmly kept the demonic beads in his sleeves and had cast his eyes on the distant Yinshang.
Jing Shu hesitated and said, ”You are too strong now, but….”
Shen Lian interrupted her, ”Do you think that I am going to be famous?”
Jing Shu responded, ”Yes, but I think you should lay low for a while.”
Shen Lian uttered leisurely, ”Being anonymous is a choice, being invincible is also a choice, but I do not have a choice.” What he said was true. Daoist Master Shangqing would never allow him to live a peaceful and calm life for the rest of his life. That was not the reason why Daoist Master Shangqqing selected him and it was also not Shen Lian's style.
Although there was a dull side to Shen Lian's temperaments, that does not mean that he could accept living on in degradation.
The hurricane stirred up the torrential rain in between the heaven and earth. It wanted to hide all traces of the battle in the storm. Besides that, it also symbolized that Shen Lian's future path would be a difficult one filled with rain and storm. He had run out of options ever since the day he chose to cultivate the Mastery of Senses.
Shen Lian stood under the rain in solitary. He did not avoid the rain and thought to himself, ”This storm could be a little more violent.”
Meanwhile, a storm also struck Zhaoge. Tianyi thought to himself, ”The next storm will be even more violent.”
The territory of Xia Kingdom still existed and the population of the Xia tribe was still considered big. However, Emperor Xia and Diqiu were no longer there. In other words, the Xia Kingdom had vanquished.
Only Yinshang, the Zhou nation, and perhaps the Underworld Demon Sect could be considered key players of the vast Netherworld. However, it was clear that Yinshang and the Zhou nation had become opposite forces.
Almost everyone could predict that it was just a matter of time before the fall of Yinshang.
