Demon God Chapter 20

Chapter 20 – World Ruler

Translated by Udeze

 

“Huh?” Linghu Song and Yang Lei glanced at each other. They didn’t expect that Xiao Han would accept Linghu Song’s challenge so nonchalantly.

The nearby Ah Chou was simply flabbergasted!

One must know that Linghu Song’s cultivation, even if compared to Ah Chou, was at the peak of Viscera Purifying Layer. He had approximately 20 dings strength, and was able to transmit sound for over 10 miles, and he was a layer higher compared to Wu Yan. The previous time Xiao Han dueled Wu Yan was very obvious. Xiao Han had almost died. Linghu Song was at least two folds more powerful than Wu Yan. How could Xiao Han be able to resist him?

After watching the showdown between Ling Feiyu and Meng Ran, numerous outer disciples were about to disperse. But suddenly exclamations started buzzing out. Linghu Song had unexpectedly taken the initiative to challenge Xiao Han, which made them abruptly stop their footsteps.

Certainly, his challenge to Xiao Han was to be expected. Xiao Han had caused his younger cousin to be ruined. And then in the Dining Hall, Xiao Han, using his technique, had forcefully made Linghu Song kneel down. This was simply a great shame. Even if all the water from the three great rivers and the five lakes were to be dried up trying to wash away this humiliation, it still wouldn’t be enough! All cultivators would rather die than to receive any humiliation!

However, what really made all onlookers dumbfounded was that Xiao Han accepted that challenge!

Wasn’t this walking target too shocking? Even when he had just entered the Outer Hall he fought with Wu Yan, who was at Body Purifying Realm intermediate first stage. And he now accepted the challenge from the Body Purifying Realm peak first stage disciple. He was really fearless…

But at this time, Xiao Han had closed his eyes. And when he reopened his eyes, the emperor like aura exuding from his eyes was being concealed, like a sacred sword being sheathed. He had observed Ling Feiyu and Meng Ran duel a moment ago, which helped him to comprehend the true meaning of Nature Laws. However, along with the two talents’ duel, he had been thoroughly stimulated, and finally touched the ideal feeling of the first move of God Emperor Fist, the World Ruler. He believed that he could speed up the process to comprehend this peerless fist style!

As when he received this enlightenment and was eager to try this move, somebody had graciously sent him the opportunity to try this fist style. So, how could he lose this golden opportunity?

Moreover, the more he practices this God Emperor Fist, the more he could feel that his mind and character became powerful. A majestic sovereign character and demeanor started to grow in his mind and soul.

He was only at the Body Refining Realm, and was facing the challenge from a more powerful cultivator, if he were to run away from the fight and not face it, could he also be called a cultivator who walked on the martial path? How could he hope to break through into the Zhen Qi Realm later?

His fighting spirit was aroused as his qi surged like a tidal wave in his body.

Shortly after, Xiao Han took the initiative to walk towards the arena!

“Huh?” Yang Lei’s complexion darkened, “Linghu Song, can you handle him?”

Linghu Song’s eyes had turned crimson. He licked his lips before he spoke with a ferocious and devilish tone, “Senior brother Yang Lei, be at ease. He’s only at the Bone Refining Realm, an ant. I’m not a trash like Wu Yan. This walking target could barely live after Wu Yan hit him 100 times. But he could never escape my fist! My strength is twice more powerful than Wu Yan’s!” He squinted as a mocking expression was drawn on his face, “Little bastard, you repeatedly humiliated this young master. But today I will skin you alive, dig out your heart, scatter your brain, and let you die like a dog!”

“Senior brother Yang Lei, I’ll go up.” Linghu Song was ready to fight.

“Okay.” Yang Lei nodded. He had always been careful and meticulous, and would never act without carefully thinking it through. He was also thinking about how to beat Xiao Han for Linghu Song. “Linghu Song, that guy’s bone explosion has a very powerful explosive force. You are at the Body Purifying Realm peak first stage. It would be best that you’re cautious, and you’ll be fine!”

“Senior brother Yang Lei, please be at ease, I’ll make sure that this kid dies!” Linghu Song stepped onto the arena.

The two stood on the arena. All the disciples outside the stage shifted their attention towards the arena.

With such an intense and prime showdown between Ling Feiyu and Meng Ran before, Xiao Han and Linghu Song’s fight would perhaps lack luster, and particularly looked insignificant. Their cultivation was of course several levels lower than those two geniuses. Previously, many outer disciples wanted to directly leave the arena. However, Xiao Han’s fighting style was way too unique. He traded life with life, an eye for an eye, which was very different from the usual fight. It was very rare. Therefore, almost all outer disciples didn’t leave the arena as they enthusiastically waited in the area.

“That walking target Xiao Han has been standing on the arena! Hey, his body was so powerful like a beast. I cannot forget his previous fight. Wu Yan had savagely beaten him, but he didn’t die and counter attacked him instead, and ‘bang!’ he finally killed Wu Yan. This time, I want to see whether he is able to bear Linghu Song’s attacks!”

“I think that he won’t be able to resist him. Linghu Song has 20 dings strength. Wu Yan only had 10 dings strength. It cannot be compared. Xiao Han surely will be killed by Linghu Song in seconds.

“He will definitely be killed in seconds! Xiao Han had made Linghu Song kneel down to him. This is even worse than killing him. Linghu Song is someone who takes revenge from the slightest grievance. He never lets anyone play jokes on him. His challenge is certainly a plan to kill Xiao Han on the arena!

………

Ah Chou could only anxiously look at Xiao Han outside the stage. He had tried to sincerely advise him, but only got ignored. He really had no other ways anymore.

At the arena…

 

Linghu Song relaxed all the muscles and bones in his body. A roar of dragons and tigers faintly emitted from his body. His qi moved and twisted across his internal organs as if a giant beast was gritting its teeth. His long hair gradually rose as his aura sharply rose with a pressing momentum!

But Xiao Han was standing still motionlessly. No bone explosion came from him as his body stood firm like a stone. But his body faintly released an unfathomable pressure.

“One move!” Linghu Song shouted at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han’s eyes were like a void, though they were not hollow.

He didn’t reply to Linghu Song.

“One move is enough to kill a dreg like you!” Linghu Song suddenly lifted his right palm. His palm center had turned light brown, as thick and heavy pressure surged out, giving off a sensation of a mountain pressing from above.

“Six Mountains Palm!” This was Linghu Song’s trademark skill. The instance he loosened his palm, a mountain-like heavy pressure would instantly press the opponent’s body, and could smash them into pieces instantly. To master this palm style, Linghu Song spent several years to be able to direct his qi into his palm and condense it. His palm would turn into a brown color, which indicated that he had touched the edge of its Nature Laws! He was only a step away to comprehend the mountain Nature Laws. Outer disciples could immediately realize it.

“Die!”

Suddenly, Linghu Song’s body shot out like lightning, and tore through the air explosively. His right palm shot out and threw out a small mountain image with a powerful pressure, along with soil’s smell pervading the air! The powerful force rushed over at Xiao Han directly!

The moving force produced an explosion in the air along its path line!

“This palm’s force is several folds more powerful than Wu Yan’s Giant Python Fist. If a God was blocking it, it would surely kill the God. If Buddha tries to block it, it would kill Buddha. If Xiao Han could receive this palm and survive, he will absolutely shake our Cloud Rain Sect!”
[Are god’s and buddha’s really that worthless in your eyes? SMH… They would crush that puny human, it would require less effort than crushing an ant.]

However, Xiao Han didn’t even prepare to block this palm’s force!

In an instant!

“Bang!” 280 bone explosions inside Xiao Han’s body instantly blasted out, as powerful as a thunderbolt! His aura didn’t increase gradually, but shot up high to the peak in instant!

Shortly after, Xiao Han’s fist rumbled!

This fist almost had no changes, it only punched back and forth in a straight line, along with unfathomable majestic pressure, which struck to the deepest part of anyone’s soul!

Shocks filled the air. One fist could produce some kind of an awe-inspiring influence. Xiao Han’s imposing manner rose once again as it shot up to the sky. The wind stopped blowing and an auspicious mist hung in the air. A vague emperor’s silhouette manifested! As all living beings must bow their head to the supreme sovereign!

A great majestic imposing manner, along with an invincible majestic pressure, spread out from Xiao Han’s fist as the centre, as it then shrouded the surrounding area.

Annexing all the 8 directions of the world, the storming qi surged up to the heavens!

The Word Ruler!

Xiao Han’s strength was close to 9 dings. After sending out this ‘World Ruler’ move, his power almost doubled as it reached 18 dings, enough to obliterate everything!

And Linghu Song, under the pressure and influence of this World Ruler Nature Laws, his imposing manner was like a balloon that got punctured, as it disintegrated in an instant! In his eyes, Xiao Han, the lowly walking target, had transformed into a god who was descending to earth at this very moment. A feeling of being insignificant and weak, the urge to prostrate himself, the feeling to never blaspheme the sacred filled his mind. His knees became so weak as he then knelt down once again!

The outer disciples who stood near the arena were also greatly influenced by the World Ruler’s nature laws. Their knees also became weak, and similar to Linghu Song, they too were almost kneeling down!

“What’s going on? What’s all this about?” In a flash, many outer disciples subconsciously stepped back, away from the arena, forming a large open area surrounding the arena.

“Bang!”

The next moment, Linghu Song flew into the air, after being hit by Xiao Han’s fist. Sounds of bones breaking bursted out from his body.

Linghu Song’s body smashed to the ground immediately, creating a human shaped pit. His body unceasingly twitched and convulsed, as he vomited blood.

He was severely injured!

Xiao Han had severely injured Linghu Song with only one punch!

Deathly stillness filled the surroundings! It was like a desolate ghost place!

Nobody thought the fight would be over in this way!

It’s a one hit kill! It’s really a one hit kill! But it was not Linghu Song who killed Xiao Han in one hit, but it was the reverse. Even though Xiao Han’s cultivation was lower than that of Linghu Song’s, it was him who did the one hit kill!

One blow!

“Ah, originally, after comprehending this World Ruler’s nature laws, my strength instantly increased by two folds, as well as oppressing and weakening the opponent’s strength and defense, along with crushing their mental state. It’s amazing, really amazing…” Xiao Han secretly nodded, “However, I only slightly comprehended the true meaning of the God Emperor Fist’s nature laws. It’s far from complete condensation, or even perfection. This fist is absolutely not inferior to Ling Feiyu’s ‘Seawhale Fist’ or Meng Ran’s ‘Windstorm Style’. This fist style may perhaps be far beyond those styles!”

As Xiao Han was immersed in his thought, the people around the arena could clearly feel the majestic aura. The victory or defeat had become irrelevant now.

“This… this is too inconceivable… one hit kill. He killed a peak Body Purifying Realm cultivator with only one hit… Has he really just entered the Outer Hall for a few days?”

“This guy is… is a genius… originally this guy was a genius…”

“His strength is far beyond ordinary peak Body Refining Realm cultivators… If he is given time to develop, this Xiao Han could become a prominent disciple in our Outer Hall. He could be on par and rival senior brother Ling Feiyu and senior brother Meng Ran later.”

“He is absolutely a genius! Xiao Han’s fist produced some kind of unfathomable sensation a moment ago. That is not like senior brother Meng Ran’s wind nature laws, it was also not like senior brother Ling Feiyu’s sea nature laws. But it’s another type of nature laws! His is more overbearing, domineering, and exuding the influence to all four directions. This is not a small matter! He could comprehend the nature laws of his martial arts style… He is truly a genius!”

“It seems that we were mistaken. Be sure to never call him a walking target or provoke him anymore…”

……….

These outer disciples, while discussing with each other, opened the way for Xiao Han at the same time.

But at this moment, Yang Lei looked at Xiao Han’s back. A trace of a chill filled his heart as a dreadful feeling was slowly creeping inside.

Seeing Xiao Han’s progress, it finally made Yang Lei feel fear!

Yes, fear!

At the beginning, when he entered the Outer Hal, Xiao Han had fought Wu Yan. But, relying on his powerful body, he traded life for life. Even after being savagely beaten, and under a severe wound, he could kill Wu Yan. But it took only a few days for him to recover and be able to move. And now he was at the level that could kill the more powerful Linghu Song with only one hit! Afterwards, he even had the energy left to release a heavy pressure like it was nothing, with an absolutely domineering aura influencing others’ mental states with his comprehension on nature laws!

“This guy cannot be freely given time to grow! He must be eliminated as soon as possible!” Yang Lei’s back had been soaked, drenched with his own cold sweat.

“Xiao Han!” Suddenly, Yang Lei’s shout was heard. His voice had become extremely hoarse.

“Oh?” Xiao Han looked back at Yang Lei as curiosity flashed in his eyes.

But many outer disciples sent out a despising look towards Yang Lei.

Is it possible that Yang Lei will challenge Xiao Han?

Yang Lei was a disciple at the Marrow Purifying Layer.

A first stage Body Purifying Realm disciple sending a challenge to a lower Bone Refining Realm disciple was equal to having no change in reputation. However, if a Marrow Purifying Layer disciple were to challenge the Bone Refining Realm disciple, that was equal to only making himself a laughingstock!

“Ah, Yang Lei, what’s up? Do you want to challenge me?” Xiao Han let out a ridiculing smile.

“Xiao Han… Challenge you? You don’t qualify!” Yang Lei’s eyes twitched. “Do you dare to face my one move? One move!” He was confident that with this one move, he could exterminate Xiao Han. Because the disparity of their strength was too big!

Even if Xiao Han could comprehend some nature laws, Yang Lei’s strength was several folds higher than him. He would not be able to contend with him, even for a short time.

“My cultivation is far beyond yours. If we must fight, you will absolutely be defeated. But I don’t want to bully you. I need only one move. Do you dare to accept this? If you can survive this one move of mine, you can consider me having lost.” Yang Lei stared at Xiao Han sharply.

“Xiao Han, you don’t need to comply for this matter.” Ah Chou, who stood nearby, quickly whispered to Xiao Han. “A Marrow Purifying Layer wants to challenge a person at Bone Refining Realm, this was the joke of a millennium. Just ignore him! One move? Bah, it’s only a pretext! Xiao Han, Yang Lei wants to kill you in one strike! This is too shameless! But his action will only bring contempt upon himself, because everybody would despise him.”

“Ah, Yang Lei, I really understand your intention.” Xiao Han casually spoke. “But I cannot agree to your request. So I cannot promise you.”

“Huh?” Yang Lei was stifled.

But Xiao Han unexpectedly changed the topic, “However, although you are very shameless, but I agree to receive your one strike!”

“What?” All outer disciple were instantly flabbergasted.

“How about this…10 days later, I’ll take your one strike. With the condition that you must pay me 10,000 zhenwu coins as the exchange for your one strike. And if you lose, you must pay me another 10,000 zhenwu coins. What say you?”

When Xiao Han was immersed in thought a moment ago. He thought about breaking through from Bone Refining Realm into the Body Purifying Realm. However he didn’t have any zhenwu coins to purchase the necessary compound drugs. Xiao Han also realized that he cannot accept Yang Lei’s challenge right now. It would only be him courting his own death. However, ten days later, he believed that he could improve his emperor nature laws to perfection, along with the more polished World Ruler move, which he believed that he could block Yang Lei with. He took the risk and traded Yang Lei’s one move with 10,000 zhenwu coins.

“What? 10,000 zhenwu coins?” Yang Lei blurted out. “Xiao Han, You’re simply stupid! Zhenwu coins? You want 10,000 zhenwu coins? In all ten Outer Halls of our Cloud Rain Sect, how many outer disciples can put out 10,000 zhenwu coins? And yet you dare ask it! I tell you, the higher the cultivator’s realm, the poorer they would be. Even senior brother Ling Feiyu couldn’t have 10,000 zhenwu coins!”

What Yang Lei said was the truth. Fo a cultivators’ cultivation advancement, aside from relying on one’s own talent, also depended on resources and wealth. The higher their realm, the bigger the price they had to pay.

Even Yang Lei, who was one of the elite outer disciples in this Outer Hall and was quite wealthy, plus had a close connection with Ling Feiyu, couldn’t have a wealth of 10,000 zhenwu coins.

“If so, then I cannot agree to your request. This small challenge, I reject it!” Xiao Han turned away.

Yang Lei’s thought became fast… He didn’t want Xiao Han to continue to grow, and let this chance go by like this! Or Xiao Han would become a great threat later! He must take the opportunity to quickly strangle him while his wings hadn’t fully grown!

“Okay! Xiao Han, I promise! Ten days later, I’ll bring 10,000 zhenwu coins and make that bet with you!” Yang Lei finally shouted in reply.

“Wow! 10,000 zhenwu coins. This is really an outrageous gamble, absolutely outrageous…” the surrounding disciples were dumbstruck.
