LI Jun tore open the space to travel to another Domain in the Central Continent. He had a serious look, and a terrifying battle intent emanated from his eyes.

ραꪒⅆα-ꪒꪫꪥꫀꪶ Great Wu Dynasty, Imperial Palace:

“Crown Prince, there is important news,” said a servant dressed in black as he knelt to a young man sitting on a golden throne.

“What is it this time?” asked Sun Jiaolong.

“Someone came to challenge you, again.”

Sun Jiaolong opened his eyes with a look of annoyance. In the past few thousand years, many people came to challenge him.

At first, it was only some of the top 30 Heaven Chosens from the Academy’s Trial. In the past few thousand years, many people came to challenge him.

Then, some of the top 10 challenged him as well. He lost to Jian Wushuang miserably and has his fleshly body destroyed. He defeated Zhang Xuan from the Dao Worshipper Palace and Mo Xingyun.

He believed that she hid her strength for some reason, but he did not know why. Additionally, Fang Lijuan sneak-attacked him, almost causing his death.

Nevertheless, the situation became even worse. With the addition of Su Ya’s Destiny to the world, many new “geniuses” have randomly begun to appear worldwide. And the majority of them have no patience like the original Heaven Chosens are go straight after Sun Jiaolong for the Human Destiny Sword.ᴘᴀ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠʟ

Luckily, most of these people have just risen and are still weaklings; they mostly have arrogance and overconfidence.

“Who is it this time?” asked Sun Jiaolong with annoyance. Honestly speaking, he did not want to accept these challenges. But he did it for two reasons: they would provide him with experience–even the ones he is defeated and suffered.

Secondly, his father told him that all the others sects began to place pressure on their dynasty. If he wanted to keep the sword, he had to accept all challenges and prove he was worthy of keeping it.

Of course, Sun Jiaolong is not such an honorable person. If someone that he truly believes he could not defeat, he would not accept the challenge or run away if needed.

As a Son of Destiny, Sun Jiaolong knows that very few people can counter his Great Luck and prevent him from escaping. And he has already prepared for these people. As long as he survives, Sun Jiaolong knows that he will rapidly become more powerful with each defeat or life and death situation.

He will have many fortunate encounters that ensure this. His main concern is not letting the status of Son of Destiny go over his head, making him do something beyond his capability and die prematurely.

“It is Young Master Li Jun from the Dao Opening Sect,” replied the servant.

“Is he alone?” he hurriedly asked back.

“It appears so.” pᴀda nᴏvel

Sun Jiaolong breathed in relief. He did not want to meet that monster in the current stage. So, he pondered the current situation.

‘So, he wants the sword but feared I would not fight him or run away, so he sent his goon. Underestimating me much, aren’t you?’

“Go tell him that this battle will occur in the barracks.”

“Crown Prince, young master Li Jun insisted that this battle occurs in a neutral zone.”

Sun Jiaolong frowned. If it was any other person, he could insist, but he must consider the people behind Li Jun. Over the years, he learned from his father how weak the Great Wu Dynasty was.

The majesty portrayed on the surface is only a facade, and many people already know this or are becoming suspicious. According to his father, it is only because of the current stability of the Myriad Emperor World that they can still survive.

If things ever get turbulent, like one of the great Emperor Lineages started an Emperor Dao War that spread far and wide, they would be one of the first Lineages to be de destroyed.

Sun Jiaolong’s ambitions have always been to become an Eternal Emperor and recreate the glory of the Great Qin Dynasty. And unfortunately, he knew that he could not rely on his dynasty to help him and could one day be a hindrance instead.

“Go tell him I accept his challenge, but I get to choose the neutral zone for the battle.”

A few minutes later, the two finalized the negotiations for this battle: it would take place in a large forest in an unoccupied Domain.

Sun Jialong stood on the ground with a golden armor with designs of five-clawed dragons. He held the Human Destiny Sword in his right hand, ready for battle.

As for Li Jun, he only had his trusty spear in his hand, with no armor for protection. This fact puzzled Sun Jiaolong since he knew his opponent usually has armor when fighting. He did not think his information would be wrong as there was enough proof.

So, this could only mean two things: Li Jun’s fighting style changed, or he was underestimated.

“Wang Wei did not dare fight me, so he sent his goon.”

Li Jun almost gasped after hearing this before laughing out loud. Although it is a common tactic to affect your opponent’s mindset before battle, he scoffed at this low-level method.

“You and I both know that you would immediately run away if he showed up.”

Sun Jiaolong’s mouth twitched as anger almost overwhelmed him. Luckily, he was a ruler and knew how to control his emotions. Unfortunately for him, Li Jun did not stop.

“Plus, isn’t it common knowledge that you are the weakest Heaven Chosens of this generation, Sovereign Brother Killer?”

Veins appeared in Sun Jiaolong’s head, forcing him to use all his ability to restrain himself. The fact that he killed his brother is taboo for him, and even his Heart Demon used this fact as a test.

“Are you done talking?”

Li Jun shrugged his shoulder before sneering: “Don’t start something you cannot finish.’ Li Jun did not think anyone could use words to irk his opponent like his big brother. He can big vicious, attacking your innermost flaws.

One time, during one of their spars, Li Jun asked him to be as foul as possible, and Wang Wei asked him if he was sure, and honestly, Li Jun regretted his decision.

After that battle, he had to shower more than a hundred times with purifying spiritual medicine because of how dirty he felt after hearing these words. He even felt that his clan’s ancestors, all the way to 27 generations, screamed in agony and cursed him; it was as if they could not accept hearing these words even in Samsara.

And during that spar, he almost went insane trying to control his emotions and state of mind. The next day, he asked Wang Wei to teach him his ways, but he refused to say some things; it was not worth it.

“In that case, let’s begin.”

Sun Jiaolong rushed toward Li Jun, leaving spider-like cracks on his steps. He swung his sword with the intent of decapitating his opponent. But to his surprise, Li Jun seemed to magically appear behind him before smacking his head with the spear, sending him flying away.

After crashing into a few trees, Sun Jiaolong controlled his momentum and placed his feet on the ground. Unfortunately for him, Li Jun instantly appeared and stabbed him.

Sun Jiaolong felt an intense Slaughter Will on that spear, so he wanted to use his golden swords to block. However, his intuition took over, and he flew into the sky.

‘The sword attacked my weak points?’

Sovereign Sword Slash: Emperor’s Might

An enormous version of Sun Jiaolong wearing yellow dragon robes appeared in the sky. With an enlarged version of the Human Destiny Sword, he slashed downward.

A terrifying suppression enveloped the entire forest and instantly flattened all the trees and animals in the surrounding. And as the slash approached Li Jun, he also felt a power similar to gravity trying to force him to kneel on bow his head.

But he remained unfazed. In a split second, he threw his spear with great force. And as the weapon traveled in the sky, tears in space appeared in the trail behind him.

The spear turned into a red hue because of how fast it traveled. And when it came into contact with the sword’s slash, the latter could not resist even a second before it shattered.

Meanwhile, the spear continued its trajectory toward Sn Jiaolong. At first, it appeared that he would not be able to react in time. However, at the last moment, he moved his head slightly to avoid the attack at the last minute.

Nevertheless, a slight wound appeared on his cheek. And this was not the end. Li Jun suddenly appeared on top of Sun Jiaolong, where his spear should have been.

And before the latter could respond, Li Jun kicked him in the head, crushing him to the ground.

With a wave of his hand, the spear appeared in his hand before absorbing the slight blood spilled from Sun Jiaolong’s cheek. And the latter dug himself from the ground, he noticed a red rune on his face.

‘Curse? Since when he is so proficient in curses?’

Sun Jiaolong then realized that he needed to take this battle seriously, or he would not survive.
