Chronicles Of The Shura Clan Chapter 378
Advertisement
Even though it was Ling Chen's first time meeting the crown prince Zhao Qingcheng, he already knew a lot about him including his current situation.
As the crown prince of the mighty Soaring Dragon Empire and also the future emperor, Zhao Qingcheng was supposed to be one of the most powerful and influential figures throughout the whole Soaring Dragon Empire.
A man who all the nobles and influential figures throughout the Soaring Dragon Empire would try to suck up to and befriend. However, it wasn't the case. Despite being the crown prince, he was the most powerless member of the Zhao Imperial Family.
It wasn't always like that. Zhao Qingcheng used to be one of the most revered younger generations in the Soaring Dragon Empire due to his heaven-defying talent and status.
However, everything changed after discovering that his mother and family were the remnants of the Great Luo Imperial Family. If it wasn't for the fact he was found innocent, he would have been executed for treason against the Soaring Dragon Empire as well as plotting against the Leviathan Palace.
Ever since the death of his mother and her family, Zhao Qingcheng has lost all of his power and influence. The people that used to revere him now hated him. Though he still retained the title of the crown prince of the Soaring Dragon Empire, it was only in name.
Furthermore, there were also many petitions to revoke his crown prince's title and give it to Heavenly Prince Zhao. With no supports and power, crown prince Zhao Qingcheng was like a stray dog.
"Mr.Chen, I won't waste your time and beating around of the bush. I know why came here and I can be of help?" Said the crown prince with a serious expression on his face the moment he sat down.
"Oh, "Is that so…" Ling Chen smilingly answered
"Why don't you enlighten me then?" He added.
It would be a lie to say that Ling Chen wasn't caught by surprise with the crown prince's sudden declaration. He didn't expect that all. Nonetheless, he was still calm as ever.
"I know that your main goal is to infiltrate the Leviathan Star by using the Spatial Gate of the Zhao Imperial Family. I can make that happen without drawing any attention." Answered the crown prince with a confident expression on his face.

"It seems like you have fooled the entire Soaring Dragon Empire and even the Leviathan Palace. You've been playing the pig to eat the tiger." Said Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face as he came to a sudden realization
"Why don't you tell me everything you know about me?" Ling Chen asked with a mysterious smile on his face. His voice was not loud, but there was a will within them that allowed no dispute, no disobedience.
Meanwhile, though the crown prince didn't know why Ling Chen suddenly asked him this, he didn't dare to hide anything as he proceeded on telling everything he knew "I know that you're part of a powerful organization."
"I also know that you are in the possession of the thing that the Leviathan Palace Lord has been desperately looking for. The same thing that caused the destruction of the Great Luo Empire."
"I know that you have killed two elders of the Leviathan Palace and destroyed the Lester Family." He added.
"I know that my brother's brother-in-law was killed...….."
In just a few minutes, the crown prince has listed almost everything Ling Chen had done along with the Dark Primordial Shura Gods when they first arrived at the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe.
"If I'm not wrong, you should be the leader of Heaven's Seer." Ling Chen suddenly said as he thought of something.
Though the crown prince has just mentioned everything he had done when he first came to the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe, he wasn't that overly surprised. It's not like they hid their appearance when they were doing these things.
However, he was still surprised by how fast he was able to put everything together and even predict his next course of action.
As for Heaven's Seer that he just mentioned, it was the most powerful information-gathering organization throughout the Leviathan Galaxy.
They had eyes and ears everywhere, even in the Leviathan Palace. Their leader was extremely mysterious and no one knew who he was until now.
"I am." Answered the crown prince without hiding anything.
It was unknown if he was too confident about his power and hidden identity or he didn't believe that Ling Chen would do anything to him after knowing his true identity.

"Hahaha! I can't believe someone is trying to use me as a tool to exact their revenge. I've used countless people before but never the other way around."Said Ling Chen as he was laughing loudly. This was simply too funny.
Even Fang Lan and the other Dark primordial Shura Gods couldn't help but laugh as well. Just like Ling Chen, they have already seen through the crown prince.
"Mr.Chen, I don't see it as me using you to get my revenge. You were already planning on infiltrating the Leviathan Star, I'm just making things easier for you. I could also provide you assistance when you get there." Said the crown prince with a slight smile on his face. With this kinda help, he believed that Ling Chen would not be able to refuse.
"Interesting."Ling Chen smilingly asked: "Who said I plan on infiltrating the Leviathan Star?" And Why should I cooperate with you?"
Hearing Ling Chen's questions, the expression of the always calm Zhao Qingcheng suddenly changed.
"Little Prince, you think too highly of yourself."He added.
Swoosh!
At the same time, a crimson light shot out from Ling Chen's demonic eye and entered the prince's body.
The moment the crimson light entered his body, the crown prince became frozen in place. It was as if he had been petrified.
"Let's me show you what happens to those who try to use me." Ling Chen coldly said.
"ARGH!!!!!!"
In the next second, the crown prince suddenly gave a horrific shriek, feeling as if his entire body had been stabbed by tens of thousands of blades.
Immense agony fiercely beamed from every single corner of his body and made him let out a painful whine. A wave of pain emanated from a force digesting and destroying the insides of his body.
As he howled, he pressed against his chest with his hands, then fell to the ground, rolling around in pain. As his organs began to rupture and explode, blood began to stream from his seven orifices, splattering the ground with blood.
However, no matter how much he screamed and yelled, the pain didn't stop but instead became even more intense.
It was a pain that no real word could express, a pain that far surpassed a human's capability to endure. At this moment, he wished that someone would just kill him and end his misery.
"Young master, why don't you spare his life. I think he could be a great asset to the Akasha Spiritual World." Suggested Fang Lan through spiritual transmission.
"Don't worry I won't kill him. I'm just teaching him a little lesson." Ling Chen had already planned on recruiting the crown prince to the Akasha Spiritual World after knowing that he was the leader of Heaven's Seer. Such a person would a great addition to the Akasha Spiritual World.
After a while, the Crown Prince's tortured cries finally died down as Ling Chen withdrew his power.
At this moment, the crown prince was on his last breath as almost all of his internal organs were destroyed. He couldn't even open his eyes let alone talked.
"I think that's enough." Said Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face before he used his holy power to heal him completely.
After opening his eyes and checking his body, the crown felt as if everything was an illusion but the blood on the ground proved him otherwise.
It was all real, the inhuman pain he had experienced. Something he never wished to experience in his life ever again.
"I don't care about how you do it. Go and let the people from the Leviathan Palace know that I'm here and I have the thing their Palace Lord is looking for."Ling Chen coldly ordered.
The crown prince was a smart man, otherwise, he would not have been able to survive this long despite his current situation in the Soaring Dragon Empire. As such, he didn't dare to waste any time as he acknowledged Ling Chen's order and left.

With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot.

Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios.

Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)

Luster
Growing up with her recently deceased mother’s addiction and her own struggles with gender identity, June Fujiwara was not a nice person. Gaining powers from nearly being murdered didn’t change that, and neither did becoming a mercenary to fund her transition. It took horrific manipulation, the resulting trauma, and the family that helped her through it all. Luster is a derivative work based on Worm by Wildbow (John C. McCrae) that begins prior to Worm and although it doesn't show straight away, the story is very AU.
