Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 609

Chapter 609: A Criteria To Be Eligible For A Sword
“Holy Ficole!” Zeras said in shock as he looked at the figure towering over him, more than double his own height.

“Hey Kenji,” Zeras whispered to Kenji, whose legs were currently like spaghettis that kept shaking repeatedly.

“Yes… Boss.”

“Why didn’t you tell me we would be buying a weapon from such a giant?” he asked as sweat poured down Kenji’s face.

“I’m sorry, boss. But I really tried my best, didn’t I?” he asked in return as Zeras’s eyes twitched.

“Maybe, you should be clearer next time….” Zeras chastised before he regained himself and cleared his throat. “Hmm, hmm, I believe we have started on quite the wrong footsteps, Elder Kang. We didn’t come here for trouble, but to procure a weapon instead. Something that was aimed to be used for cleaning the Shadow Oppression Valley duties as an outer sect…” Zeras explained as Elder Kang furrowed his eyebrows before he opened his lips.

“You planned to take on the Shadow Oppression Valley cleaning as an outer sect duty?” His voice was so loud, it was like a drum was being beaten close to Zeras’s ears, but that didn’t disorient him much.

“Yes. That’s why I need a weapon befitting a king. A sword! And I was told, quite confidently even, that you’re the only one who can help us,” Zeras explained to him. Elder Kang looked at Kenji, who was hiding behind Zeras, before he snorted loudly.

“I don’t sell swords to weaklings. That’s the fourth time I’ll be saying that to you, Kenji!” Elder Kang roared as Zeras’s eyes knitted to points.

“And might I ask what your criteria for strength are? It can’t be something as mundane as cultivation level, right?” Zeras asked him, as Elder Kang scanned him up and down before snorting coldly.

“My assessment is quite simple. All you have to do to take a weapon that you wish for is to simply resist a single attack of mine!” he declared as Kenji grabbed Zeras’s shoulder and whispered something into his ears, causing Zeras’s eyes to flash in shock as Elder Kang smiled mockingly.

“So, what do you say, boy? Still interested in buying a sword from me?” he asked as Zeras’s eyes furrowed.

He had just been told by Kenji that Elder Kang before him was actually an Undying Realm expert, and Kenji had watched people undergo his test to buy his weapons. But all of them up until today were still in a coma!

“I will take your test under one more condition!” Zeras said as Elder Kang huffed.

“And what’s that, boy?” he asked.

“If I am able to pass your test, you will give us the weapon just as you promised, and from today, anytime you see me, in whatever timeline, you must refer to me as Young Master Zeras!” he said, as Elder Kang laughed instead, his voice booming loud and clear through the cavern.

“Accepted!” he said, as Zeras headed outside, followed by Kenji and Elder Kang.

Arriving in the forest area, they moved away from the cavern to avoid blowing it up, as Elder Kang stood ten meters away from Zeras, cracking his fist in his palm, as Zeras twisted the bones in his body.

“Just so you know, boy, a total of ten prideful kids like you have challenged me in the past, and now all of them have yet to awaken from their slumber. Are you sure you want to risk it?” he asked, as Zeras snorted.

“This isn’t about the weapons anymore. DESOLATE STAR RING! OPEN!!!” Zeras whispered as a bright light flared on his spine, and immediately…

DRUUUUUUM

The entire space around his body quivered as a gigantic star ring unfurled itself, filling the entire air behind Zeras, as thousands of runes immediately appeared all over his skin, brimming with a bright silvery light as his hair floated up from his shoulder, extending behind him.

“ROOOOOOOOOOARRRRR!!!”

A powerful roar boomed out from Zeras’s mouth, as a hegemonic aura burst out of his body, and the entire trees in the forest were pressed down on their trunks by an invisible force, forced into a bowing position.

“Huh?” The word barely escaped Kenji’s mouth and then his knees gave way in shock, as he found himself slammed down on both knees beyond his control.

“What! What aura is this!?” Elder Kang said in shock as he looked at Zeras, who locked gazes with him, his eyes becoming a sea of blue, with a single revolving star within.

“I am waiting for your so-called divine attack…” Zeras said, and this time, Elder Kang’s eyes furrowed, noticing even his voice had changed, now seemingly filled with heaven-blotting confidence and a natural sense of disdain!

“HAHAHAHAHAHA” A loud laughter boomed out of Elder Kang’s mouth as he smiled brightly. “I will give you the most powerful punch that you will ever receive in your life!” he smiled, yet all he got was Zeras’s listless expression.

“Huuuuuuuu” A breath of white air escaped Elder Kang’s mouth and in the next instant, he raised his hand and clenched his fist tightly.

Kenji’s jaw dropped to the ground as he visibly watched daylight turn into a pitch-black darkness, and the air around the place immediately quieted down to such a level that it was like the entire place was suddenly all sucked away from air.

In the next instant, a flash of light appeared in Zeras’s eyes, as he looked at Elder Kang’s fist with seriousness and focus in his eyes.

‘The attack of an Undying Realm expert! I will take it on with every bit of living essence within my body and remain on my feet!’ Zeras promised himself, as his eyes shined with an over-excited light.

In the next instant, his already shocking aura reached a decimating level as a gigantic red beam of lightning burst out of his body, causing a pillar of red lightning to rapidly crackle towards the sky, tearing apart the darkness in the place.
