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.

8 1140A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
