Chapter 344: True Power
Seemingly ignoring the old man's words, Jian Shen who was more focused on the woman spread his arms and hugged her by the waist once she was close to him.
"How is it? Have you fallen in love with me, already?"
"Why would I? You're only rescuing me for your own selfish intentions."
Causing Jian Shen to chuckle as she laid her true thoughts completely bare without showing any sign of fear, the woman made him believe that she wasn't putting on an act of not feeling anything.
But.... Was such a thing even possible?
Weren't all living creatures animals that possessed emotions and acted based on them?
So what was it that caused this beautiful woman to behave as if she was a walking corpse?
"So candid. Aren't you afraid of me taking my anger out on you?"
"Do whatever you want."
Frowning a little since he felt helplessness from her words along with spotting great sadness in her eyes, Jian Shen no longer said anything and looked towards the old man who was patiently waiting for his reply.
"Fine. Since senior has conceded, I'll stop here as well."
Showing a little respect towards the old man's age, Jian Shen turned around and began flying away letting the old man sigh a little.
Unfortunately, the relief didn't remain for too long on his face as that son of his got to his feet with an even more crazed expression.
"Stop right there! She's mine! MINE AND ONLY MINE!!!"
"How dare you try and take her away while I'm still alive?!"
Roaring loudly, Dong Xiu made a move despite trembling on the inside from the fear of death.
That was just how beautiful Cai Luli was.
"You think you're undefeatable?! Get ready to witness what true power feels like brat!"
"With my true power I'll leave you begging for death!"
Changing his main Nascent soul with one of his souls that considered as his strongest due to the beast spirit which he fused it with, Dong Xiu chose to manifest the spirits completely power and not just part of it like Jian Shen.
Turning into a vast towering existence in the next second, Dong Xiu destroyed the building they were inside and turned into a huge white coloured tiger which everyone inside the Lee City could see.
"Roaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr!"
Roaring loudly, Dong Xiu was just above to attack Jian Shen who looked like an insect in comparison to the current him when he heard a playful chuckle.
"True power? Hahahahahahahah.... "
Shaking his head while not being able to stop himself from chuckling, Jian Shen suddenly said, "If you want to witness true power, I'll show it to you."
"Even though I can't fully control it yet and will only be able to sue it for an instant, that's all I'll need anyway."
With the end of Jian Shen's words, the entire world seemingly came to a silence as if it was also eagerly waiting to see what the true power he was talking about.
The old man however didn't share any such curiosity and kept on cursing his son who now looked like would be the death of him.
After all, even though Jian Shen hadn't yet revealed whatever true power it was that he was talking about, the clear signs of disaster were already gathering from everywhere making it possible to understand that all hell was about to break loose.
And break loose it did.
Letting go of a little more control, Jian Shen now no longer limited the spirit from changing just his soul but allowed a part of his body to show signs of the Heavenly Dragon's Manifestation.
Boom!
Even though all that Jian Shen did was take a single step, the world itself seemed to have trembled.
The skies turned dark instantly and the entire Divine Realm was plunged into darkness.
Taking a second step, Jian Shen opened his eyes to reveal eyes which didn't belong to him.
Showing two terrifying pupils that didn't place any existence in the world inside its eyes, Jian Shen didn't forget to smile because Cai Luli in his arms now showed another emotion on her face.
Though it was fear, he was going to consider it his victory as well.
At the same time, Jian Shen's right arm started changing with a glistening white scales forming on his skin and turning it into a Dragon's arm.
Raiding his hand up, Jian Shen who was doing this for the very first time simply swiped the space in front of him and gave himself a huge scare.
Though he could sense that there was boundless power hidden inside this new arm of his, how could he have expected for the space itself to be destroyed and a huge fissure to be formed there?
Looking at this, Jian Shen was sure that regardless of who walked inside this fissure, their body would instantly be shredded into pieces.
Luckily, it didn't possess any kind of suction powers or grew bigger turning it into something which could easily be avoided.
Sighing after he saw this, Jian Shen stopped the Manifestation and had his Nascent Soul take its rightful place as his main soul.
This was because even though he could maintain that seemingly invisible form for longer, neither his physical body and nor his soul could keep up with the strain.
Once he did that, Jian Shen turned around to leave and said no more words allowing the clouds which covered the entire Divine Realm to slowly disappear.
After all, even though all he did was swipe his Dragon arm and then left, every single being inside the Divine Realm was trembling since the moment his arm had turned into a Dragon's.
Due to this, even though Jian Shen didn't continue showing off his powers, that fissure he felt in the space was more than enough for everyone who was curious about what happened to figure out that someone who was too strong for the confines of the Divine Realm had done something terrifying.
As for Dong Xiu, the moment he saw Jian Shen shred space as if it was paper, his heart was what felt like had been shredded.
And along with it, the man's mental state completely broke down and left him with blank eyes due to understanding that everything was over.
The opposite party was so strong, that he couldn't take revenge, couldn't bring back the woman he loved, couldn't... Couldn't....
With such thoughts Dong Xiu who turned back into his human form threw up a lot of blood and fainted with complete soulless eyes.
