Chapter 1357 - 1357: Unstable
Long Chen raised his right hand, pointing his sword at the sky just like it was being done in the statue.
With his slight movement, hundreds of swords of varying sizes appeared in the sky, closely packed.
All the swords came crashing down at once, half of them landing on the beasts in the front. The other half fell on the five giants in the back.
All the swords crashed on the body of the beasts. Unfortunately, it didn't affect much as the swords failed to penetrate the thick skin of the beasts. Their skin was so hard that it wasn't penetrated even a little. Their bare defense was too powerful.
It was slightly different for the giants as the swords did manage to stand then, but their skin was so thick that the swords failed to do any significant damage to them. It was even worse than a pin being poked at them.
Long Chen's frown deepened as he saw what had happened. The outcome was out of his expectations.
He flew towards the giants first since they had the potential to reach the status first. As for the beasts, he left them for later.
He landed on the ground between the statue and the Giants, firmly gripping his sword. "If swords can't hurt you, let space do that instead. No defense is strong enough before space!"
He brought his left foot forward while keeping his right foot back before raising his sword.
Swiss~
His sword came crashing down, but only cutting the wind, but even the space as spatial became unstable not only in this trial realm but even inside the tower.
"Hmm?" Even the old man was stunned. He disappeared for a moment, finding the space unstable. He only returned after he took care of the space and fortified it even more so it wouldn't break that easily.
"This kid, does he have any idea what would happen if this space was broken? Sigh kids these days. Only increasing work for me."
"But then again, this display of ability is pretty good. This kid isn't half bad. To be able to comprehend space to this extent at such a young age? I wonder why he ended up in prison?"
Unaware of the old man's presence who was taking amongst himself, Long Chen cast his attack. As the arc of light advanced towards the giants, it only kept getting bigger and bigger, absorbing even the spatial cracks that it was creating by making the space unstable.
By the time the attack reached the first giant, it was already ten times his size
With one stroke, all the Giants were cut in half. Even their thick skin wasn't able to protect them. Their bodies also disappeared, leaving only one person there.
...
A group of warriors landed before the Heavenly Prison outside the barrier.
Most of these men were wearing a golden Armor except two men. The Heavenly Emperor was personally wearing a Golden Cloak. As for the Heavenly General, he was wearing a similar robe, just without the symbol that only the Emperor could use.
"Looks like they're not here yet," the Heavenly Emperor declared, seeing the barrier still intact. "When I decided to stop by the last prison to heal their barrier, I thought I'd probably be late in getting here. Apparently, these guys are even slower than me."
He had already healed the barrier that was broken by Zhu Chang before coming here. He even investigated the site for some clues about the identity of the person, but since Zhu Chang hadn't used any special ability, no such clues were left behind.
"Your Majesty, if we're right, then that Long Chen must be inside this prison. We should meet him first to understand who he is. We need to know what we're dealing with." The Heavenly General said, stepping before the barrier of the prison.
He gently touched the barrier with his finger, making a small doorway in the barrier so they could pass through.
He stepped back since the Emperor needed to go in first. "I was thinking about the same thing. Let's see who is the person that made us come to him personally."
The Emperor stepped inside the prison, followed by the others.
...
Inside the Heavenly Tower in the prison, some Heavenly Warriors were immersed in cultivation when they got the information about the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor here.
They stopped whatever they were doing as they ran out of the tower to greet the Heavenly Emperor.
The prisoners that saw all this were slightly amused. Just why were these Heavenly Warriors in such a hurry? Did a prisoner escape?
They soon got their answers though, as they soon saw a golden-robed man. They all recognized the man who had declared their guilty verdict! He was the Heavenly Emperor who was the strongest person in existence.
Even though all the Prisoners hated him for putting them in prison, they still couldn't do anything to him. They couldn't even dare to. This guy was in a different league altogether
...
Gu Chen stepped out of the Training Arena after having a hearty battle with another Prisoner. Since he was hungry, he wanted to go to a restaurant to eat something.
As he reached the restaurant, he saw everyone running in a certain direction. Even the prisoners that worked as the staff of the restaurant were running.
He stopped one of the ladies. "Hey, why are you running? What happened?"
"Don't you know? The Heavenly Emperor is here! Something big is going to happen!" The woman responded before she left.
"Heavenly Emperor? Why would he personally come here?" Gu Chen frowned. He also started flying with everyone else, wanting to see what it was about.
...
The prison guards met up with the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly General. They bowed in respect.
"Enough with the greetings. Tell me about the prisoner named Long Chen!" The Heavenly Emperor commanded them.
"Prisoner named Long Chen? Ah, I don't think I heard about that prisoner." Most of the guards looked at each other. Since Long Chen was new, none of them had any idea, except one.
"I heard that name before." One Heavenly Warrior stepped forward. He was the one who had talked to Long Chen before on the insistence of Zia Uzhi.
"Who is he?" The Heavenly Emperor asked.
"He is a going guy. He isn't even twenty-five, from what I was able to see. And his cultivation is also pathetic for the Heavenly Realm. However, he came to me just yesterday with a crazy story, asking me to release him."
"What Crazy story?" The Heavenly Emperor asked.
