Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083 Ropping In (1)
It only took a second.
A single second before a Dao Emperor, a true powerhouse in the central region, was stabbed through the heart by an illusory purple blade and crumbled into motes of white light.
This time, even Shun Long had to admit he was a bit surprised.
He’d pushed his ’Monarch’s Domain’ to the limit, hastening the flow of time around his body and slowing it down against his opponent, but the effect was beyond what even he’d expected.
The middle-aged man’s features were still blurry, but Shun Long could basically see the surprise on his face as he stared at him and let out a single,
"-What?"
His next two opponents didn’t fare much better.
They were also newly advanced Dao Emperors who had yet to consolidate their cultivation, so they were barely able to react to Shun Long’s true speed when he was going all out.
Inside the Dao Tower, one’s cultivation was naturally suppressed to the early rank 1 of Heaven grade, but their Dao insights weren’t. And this is what separated everyone!
Finally, the fourth battle was the first one that didn’t end in seconds.
Shun Long’s opponent was a Dao Emperor who was proficient in the ’Dao of Lightning’, so the man’s speed was actually a match for his own.
Even through the suppressive effects of his ’Monarch’s Domain’, Shun Long realized he wasn’t having any advantage during the battle, since the man’s own domain of a Dao Emperor protected him to a certain extent.
Of course, the young Dao Emperor was even more surprised than Shun Long.
He could tell his opponent was only a peak-stage Dao King, yet he was... pushing him back?
He had no idea that a grin was slowly tugging at Shun Long’s face now, as he finally got a chance to fight to his heart’s content!
...
A Dao Emperor was truly a different beast.
Shun Long wasn’t sure if this man was a middle-stage Emperor who had comprehended some kind of miraculous skill or if he possessed some kind of unique physique, but his ability to turn his entire body into lightning and dodge any attacks that came his way was truly marvelous.
It was similar to Xingyi’s ’Vanishing Shadows unique physique’ in a sense.
Still, even if he was a Dao Emperor, a big part of his attacks were still blocked by Shun Long’s ’Time Siphon’, frustrating the man even further.
It seemed like his opponent’s qi was being drained even faster than his own during the battle, and yet every time he used that terrifying vortex to block his attacks, his qi would somehow miraculously recover again!
Even worse, it felt like even his own lifeforce was being affected when he got close to that vortex!
In the end, the man was pushed to the depths of despair as Shun Long stretched out a finger and muttered the words,
"Time Prison."
...
By the time Shun Long walked out of the ’Dao Tower’, it was already deep into the night.
The emergence of ’Alchemist Han’ made the old man behind the counter instantly shoot to his feet, but Shun Long simply nodded at him before he made his way back into the streets of Amber Dawn.
This time, he was genuinely in a good mood.
After all, his gains had been tremendous.
The last fight alone had truly pushed him to his limits and had allowed his comprehension of his ’Dao of Time’ to finally break past the confines of the Dao King realm!
Now, the moment Shun Long sat down and decided to cultivate would be the moment he summoned his Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to a Dao Emperor!
But before that, there were a couple more things he had to take care of first.
After a moment of thinking, he put on a black robe and headed straight for the southernmost part of the city.
...
It didn’t take long before he stopped in front of the familiar, black metal door of the Lunar Grave guild.
He knocked on it 3 times and waited before an aged voice rang out from inside,
"...Are you here to place an order?"
Shun Long took out his Lunar token and spread out his soul sense, as the spiritual strength of an early-stage Sovereign exploded outwards. Then, he said in a raspy voice,
"Thousand-faced, take me to Wolf Hunter."
Thousand-faced was one of the two assassins who served as doormen for the Lunar Grave guild, as well as a rank 4 Dao Emperor.
But when was faced with the pressure of a Sovereign, all the man could do was open the door and bow to his waist as he said excitedly,
"Senior! Please come in!"
Shun Long already knew his way around the guild, but Thousand-faced was always the one to lead the way.
They navigated through the protective formation for over 10 minutes before they finally stopped in front of a small, isolated room. Then, Thousand-faced took out his Lunar Jade and infused a bit of his qi into it.
Mere seconds later, the door of the room swung open from the inside, revealing a smiling middle-aged man,
"Senior! Welcome to my chambers! To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
Without waiting for a response, Wolf Hunter stepped aside and gestured for Shun Long to step into his private room.
Shun Long nodded at the man and stepped inside the room before he glanced at the hall master, who calmly closed the door behind them.
A peak-stage Dao Emperor.
Wolf Hunter was really the best subject to help him put his plan into fruition.
After a moment, Shun Long took a seat on the couch opposite Wolf Hunter and said calmly,
"Wolf Hunter, I’m here to do business."
Then, he took off his robe and revealed his face. The face of ’Alchemist Han’.
