Monarch Of Time

Chapter 988 The Crown Prince's Greed

Chapter 988 The Crown Prince's Greed

Shun Long stared at Xuan Bo with a mocking look before he said ''Hand it over? It seems that even the exalted crown prince of the Tianxuan dynasty can't resist the allure of these immortal-grade spirit stones.''

As he finished speaking, Shun Long turned his gaze towards the plain-looking spatial ring in his hand and stored it inside the 'Stone of Time', causing Xuan Bo's eyes to flare with an unrestrained, murderous intent.

Then, the young prince's body burst with the terrifying aura of a peak seventh-stage body refiner, his cold gaze fully focused on Shun Long as he suddenly made his move.

In the next moment, Xuan Bo appeared in front of him with unbelievable speed before he sent a powerful fist forward!

At the same time, Shun Long's golden eyes lit up as the scene of Xuan Bo attacking him appeared in his mind... a split second before the young prince had actually moved. However, no matter how prepared Shun Long was, the distance between him and Xuan Bo was so small that a normal peak-stage Dao Emperor could cover it in less than a second... let alone someone like Xuan Bo.

Without any time to even use his blink and teleport away, Shun Long could only grit his teeth and bring out the full power of his 'Monarch's Eternal body', as Xuan Bo's right fist made contact with his chest a split-second later!

''BOOOOM!''

A muffled explosion suddenly filled the area as Shun Long's figure was sent flying like an unstoppable meteor, soaring past the surrounding cultivators and colliding against a towering tree, before eventually coming to a halt.

At the same time, the nearby Dao Kings and Dao Emperors all seemed to have been alerted by the sudden turn of events, as furious voices sounded in the air in quick succession, some of them wary while others filled with rage at the audacity of someone stirring up trouble

''Who the fuck is fighting here?''

''The 'City of Immortals' just closed and some bastard is already creating trouble? Who the hell is it?''

''Damn, is that Xuan Bo...?''

As soon as the surrounding cultivators realized who the source of the terrifying aura was, their complaints seemed to have suddenly vanished, as everyone opened up the distance between themselves and the terrifying crown prince of the Tianxuan dynasty.

Xuan Bo's fame had shaken the central continent long before the 'City of Immortals' even opened, and there wasn't a single Dao King or Dao Emperor from the major powers of the continent who hadn't heard his name by now.

It wasn't just because he was the heir of the Tianxuan dynasty, but more so due to his overwhelming talent and terrifying strength. Naturally, there were very few people who were willing to provoke a monster like that!

At this point, the surrounding cultivators were even more curious about who Xuan Bo was fighting against, but when their gazes fell on Shun Long who had collided against a massive tree, surprised as well as dubious expressions filled their faces, as the same thought appeared in their minds

''A Dao King? Xuan Bo attacked a mere Dao King?''

Naturally, the majority of cultivators who had entered the 'City of Immortals' had no idea who Shun Long was, nor had they seen his face before.

After all, other than that fleeting year he had spent comprehending the 'Stone Mural' back in the Endless Desert, he had spent the majority of his time in the 'City of Immortals' staying in seclusion and increasing his strength, and had only appeared when it was time to challenge the 'Heavenly Tower'.

Thus, it was only those geniuses who stood at the very top of the central continent and had reached the seventh trial as well, that knew how terrifying this azure-robed youth really was.

As for the rest, Shun Long was merely an unknown peak sixth-stage body refiner in their eyes, one that wasn't even ranked in the top 100 of the 'White Tiger Chamber of commerce'.

How could such a person be qualified to have any ties with Xuan Bo?

And yet, some of the more observant cultivators quickly realized that something was wrong.

Although Xuan Bo had attacked him just now, Shun Long was somehow still standing on his feet... albeit just barely. Despite taking the full-powered blow of a peak seventh-stage body refiner, it was merely a few bones on his chest that were broken after the impact and he was clearly still alive. He had actually resisted Xuan Bo's strike!

Even Xuan Bo appeared taken aback for a moment, his eyes narrowing dangerously into two thin slits. Clearly, he had also expected that his attack would kill Shun Long just now. After all, he was the one who knew Shun Long's strength the best, so he hadn't held back at all and had put his full strength behind his fist.

Even though Xuan Bo was injured and had completely depleted his qi during their last fight, any one of his current attacks should have instantly killed Shun Long considering the vast gap in their cultivation bases.

After all, Xuan Bo was no longer suppressed by the laws of the 'Heavenly Tower'. He was now a true, bonafide seventh-stage body refiner and one of the most powerful Dao Emperors of the central continent.

And yet, Shun Long's condition seemed perfectly fine other than merely broken a couple of bones?

Xuan Bo refused to believe it and was about to make another move and finally finish the azure-robed youth off, but it was at this moment that a thousand white skeletons suddenly emerged almost out of thin air, completely enshrouding Shun Long in their protective embrace.

At the same time, more than 60 black armored knights holding massive greatswords, as well as 6 peculiar black skeletons stepped at the very front, their cold gazes staring straight at the young crown prince!

Finally, a hideous monster with four legs and no eyes stepped forward from the back of their formation, while on its back, an unbelievably beautiful white-robed woman stood, her murderous gaze locked on the distant Xuan Bo.
