Monarch of Time

’’...Monarch’s Domain.’’

The moment that Shun Long’s voice rang through the air, the 27 golden balls of qi inside him all began circulating at the same time, as the invisible figure of an hourglass expanded from his body before his eyes turned back to their usual golden color.

As soon as the ’Monarch’s Domain’ emerged, a deathly silence seemed to have completely enveloped Shun Long’s surroundings, as the flow of time around him forcibly came to a halt right in the next moment!

And yet, the 2 bolts of heavenly tribulation above his head continued their descent without any signs of stopping, as they entered the ’Monarch’s Domain’ and continued moving straight towards Shun Long’s head.

Although their speed had clearly slowed down after entering inside the ’Monarch’s Domain’, Shun Long could see that the 2 bolts of lightning had only lost a mere 30 percent of their speed and were nowhere near close to stopping.

Staring at these 2 snow-white bolts of heavenly tribulation that had suddenly appeared in front of him in what seemed to be merely an instant, a serious look finally appeared in the depths of his bright golden eyes, as Shun Long grabbed the hilt of his black sword with both hands and infused his qi inside it, before he swung it towards the sky and roared out in a serious voice

’’Thundergod’s slash!’’

As soon as Shun Long’s qi entered the black sword, the mysterious runes and patterns on the sword’s surface started to light up one after the other, before sparks of black-colored lightning began to gather around the sword’s edge!

In the next moment, under Liu Mei’s and the rest’s worried and anxious looks, a black-colored sword slash that was crackling with sparks of black lightning emerged from the black sword, before it collided directly with the 2 bolts of heavenly tribulation right in front of Shun Long!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

For a moment, it seemed as if the entire sky above the ’Endless Desert’ shook as the black-colored sword slash met the 2 white bolts of heavenly tribulation head-on, before the surrounding space around Shun Long started to shatter from the terrifying impact!

Even Liu Mei and the others had no choice but to move a bit further away from Shun Long despite the worried looks on their faces, as the 4 of them could clearly sense how dangerous the area around him really was right now!

In fact, even though they knew that Shun Long’s strength had already far exceeded that of most average peak rank 6 Dao Kings and that he was probably strong enough to fight even early rank 7 Dao Kings head-on, Xingyi and the rest couldn’t help but feel shocked inwardly as they witnessed the scene that was unfolding in front of their eyes!

Forget about early rank 7 Dao Kings, the power behind this ’Thundergod’s slash’ in front of them was probably strong enough to cleave even an average early rank 8 Dao King in half!

At the same time however, unlike Xingyi and the rest who were feeling a mix of surprise and elation after witnessing Shun Long’s attack, inside the foggy space in the ’Stone of Time’, Little Black observed everything without any change in his expression, as his deep azure eyes continued to stare at the shattered space in front of Shun Long in silence.

Clearly, this scene wasn’t much of a surprise at all for Little Black, since he was the one who understood Shun Long’s strength the most.

Early rank 8 Dao Kings? Forget about that.

Little Black knew that even peak rank 8 Dao Kings would struggle to fend off this sword slash from Shun Long and would most likely have to try and dodge it instead of forcibly taking it head-on, unless they possessed a Saint middle-grade martial skill as well!

After all, this version of the ’Thundergod’s slash’ that Shun Long had just used was the third and final form of the ’Thundergod’s slash’ that he had obtained from the second floor of the ’Golden Treasures Hall’ back in the Holy sect! Naturally, this third form of the ’Thundergod’s slash’ was something that only Dao Kings could use and its true might was even comparable to most Saint middle-grade martial skills despite the fact that it was actually categorized as a Saint low-grade martial skill!

Of course, if that was all there was to it, it would be impossible for a single ’Thundegod’s slash’ to be enough to threaten even early rank 8 Dao Kings, let alone peak rank 8 ones!

After all, Shun Long’s cultivation was still at the peak of rank 3 in the Dao King realm right now, and the gap between early and late-stage Dao Kings wasn’t something that could be bridged so easily just by using a single Saint low-grade martial skill.

However, Little Black understood that the strength of this ’Thundergod’s slash’ had not only been augmented from the ’Lightning Dao’ within the peak 1-star black sword that Shun Long was holding, but there was also one more reason behind it!

It was the ’sword aura’ that Shun Long had comprehended from the ’Stone mural’.

After reaching the level of possessing ’sword aura’, it didn’t matter if it was a casual sword slash or a martial skill that utilized the sword anymore, as all of Shun Long’s attacks would reach an entirely different realm compared to before!

Even in the ’Immortal Dimension’, Little Black knew that it was extremely uncommon even for early-stage Dao Emperors to have comprehended sword aura, and those who managed to do so were only those prodigies whose talent with the sword could shake entire regions of the ’Immortal Dimension’ after they matured.

As for an early-stage Dao King comprehending ’sword aura’... that was nothing but a joke. Even in the vastness of the entire ’Immortal Dimension’, as far as Little Black was aware, something like this had never happened before!

And yet, despite knowing how powerful Shun Long’s attack actually was, there was still a frown on the black dragon’s face as he continued to stare at the shattered space in front of Shun Long without saying anything.

At the same time, Shun Long was completely unaware of the thoughts that were coursing through Little Black’s, Liu Mei’s, and the rest’s minds, as his entire attention was placed on the shattered space in front of him as well!

Just like Little Black had guessed, this was one of the strongest attacks that Shun Long currently possessed. In fact, if it was ranked purely in terms of its offensive ability, Shun Long knew that this ’Thundergod’s slash’ of his that had been augmented by both his ’sword aura’ and the Lightning Dao inside the black sword, was actually the most destructive attack he could create right now, if he didn’t count his ’Flames of Destruction’ that he could only use after burning his blood essence and entering his dragonform!

And yet, Shun Long knew that what he was facing right now wasn’t any late-stage Dao King that would be threatened by such an attack, but those 2 white bolts of heavenly tribulation that could wipe out even a peak rank 9 Dao King without giving them even a single chance to resist! Regardless of how strong his attack was, unless it was enough to threaten the life of an early-stage Dao Emperor, Shun Long understood that it would be impossible for it to contend against even a single one of these white bolts of heavenly tribulation, let alone 2 of them at the same time!

Indeed, just like Shun Long had expected, his ’Thundergod’s slash’ only lasted for a single second under the barrage of the 2 white bolts of heavenly tribulation, before the 2 bolts of lightning continued straight for his head soon afterwards!

Just like the first one, the 2 bolts of heavenly tribulation pierced through Shun Long’s glabella without any resistance and entered his spiritual sea, before a wave of indescribable pain instantly overcame him.

The moment they entered his spiritual sea, the 2 bolts of lightning flew directly towards the center of the spiritual sea, as if their only aim was to destroy Shun Long’s soul and completely eradicate his existence!

And yet, Shun Long’s lips merely curved upwards when he saw this scene, before the spiritual strength inside his entire spiritual sea surged for the second time, immediately swallowing the 2 white bolts, leaving nothing behind!

...

At the same time that all of this was taking place within Shun Long’s spiritual sea, back in the Endless Desert, Liu Mei’s, Jiang Chen’s, Bai Longtian’s, and Xingyi’s expressions all abruptly turned serious, as the 4 of them turned their attention towards the large group of Dao Kings that had suddenly appeared around them, almost out of thin air, and were now staring at Shun Long with curious looks on their faces.
