Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Xu Shan wiped the blood off his body. Even though most of his wounds had healed, a light scar was still left behind in his chest, that was still not entirely healed.

As his old clothes were torn, he brought out new clothes and changed into them, since even though his treasure could hide his location, his scent and his aura, it couldn't hide the scent of blood.

Unlike before, he didn't take the Shadow Guards lightly.

At the same time, he also went through the information about the strange core that appeared inside his body.

The screen that appeared before him described the core in great detail, some of which even surprised him personally.

"This..." After reading through the end, Xu Shan appeared somewhat taken aback. It was as if he came to know something about himself that even he didn't know previously.

He found out that he was very different from others. While the other Celestial Warriors could use their Celestial Spirit to absorb the Celestial Aura from nature to recover the strength they exhausted in battle, it was different for him.

Since he had been busy and didn't really need to use this method previously, he didn't really test it, but now that he went through the screen, he was stunned!

His Celestial Spirit of Devouring couldn't help him recover his spent energy in a way that other Celestial Spirits could. Instead, it could only plunder from others!

Even a Celestial Warrior exhausted himself during a battle, they could still slowly regain their strength amidst the battle. However, it was different for him. That's where the Celestial Core came into play!

His Celestial Core was his energy reserve in essence. If he exhausted himself by overusing his strength, he could still use what he previously stored in his Celestial Core to recover at a faster pace.

Even though his Celestial Spirit couldn't do what other Celestial Spirits could, but it also did something to make up for it.

The Celestial Core was like a blackhole that could absorb the purest Celestial Aura that was beyond Xu Shan's limit to absorb. This allowed him to devour others' strength, without worrying about his own safety.

Even though the strength he stored in the Celestial Core didn't increase his Celestial Cultivation, but it had many other benefits.

First, the Celestial Core allowed him to use strength beyond his limits for a brief moment, allowing him to exhaust all Celestial energy stored in the Celestial Core at once, to use an attack that went above and beyond his limit!

Unfortunately, he could only use that method once since it involved him exhausting all his Celestial Core strength at once, completely emptying it. However, Xu Shan never really used to plan it in a fight, unless his life was on the line.

Using an attack like that also placed a lot of burden on his body as well.

"This saves me some trouble," Xu Shan muttered, closing the screen.

Previously, he was still concerned that the strength of the other two Sky Celestials was going to go to waste since he couldn't absorb anymore anytime soon, since his body was already under a lot of burden with his sudden strength increase by a major realm.

In fact, he doesn't think he could absorb anything anytime soon, without hurting himself in the process.

Fortunately, with the Celestial Core, he could just absorb that strength as his reserve. His Celestial Cultivation would have remained the same, but it was still beneficial to him to have some reserves since he couldn't just absorb anything from nature itself.

Xu Shan picked both his daggers from the group. He had already cleaned both of them.

He finally moved, going to his next target.

Inside the Royal Palace, Ye Han was quite frustrated. Almost everyone in the Royal Palace came attacking him. Even the King was included in that.

If he wanted, he could've killed all of them with a single swing of his sword. However, the Esti Kingdom was a subordinate of the Eternal Dynasty. Killing the King and creating a political turmoil was just an unnecessary headache that he didn't want to deal with, especially since he knew that these people weren't in their right mind.

Instead of dealing life threatening attacks, he kept knocking out the nobles, including the Princess and the King.

For a person like him, knocking these people out was much harder than simply killing them. However, he still went with that method. He wanted to deal with the pawns first to later find the masterminds behind this attack.

After knocking out the King and a few other important officials that he had seen in the celebration previously, Ye Han kicked their unconscious bodies away.

Even though he couldn't kill them, that didn't mean he couldn't hurt them.

The King, his daughter, and the other Nobles were still lucky that they just received some kicks! The rest of the people behind them weren't so lucky.

After dealing with the important people, Ye Han finally had more free hand.

He simply raised his blade, swinging his sword once.

A condensed arc of energy shot out from his sword, covering the entire hallway! Everyone who was still standing was split in two halves, falling to the ground. The entire hallway was painted blood red!

After dealing with the immediate trouble, Ye Han turned toward Xu Shan's room. He was slightly surprised that even after all this commotion, Xu Shan didn't come out.

He stepped closer to Xu Shan's room, knocking a few times, just to make sure that everything was fine.

His expressions became a bit more serious as he didn't receive any response. In the end, he knocked once more. However, the outcome was still the same. There was no response, even when he called out multiple times.

In the end, Ye Han decided to simply force his way inside to check. Xu Shan's safety was his responsibility after all.

With a light push, he broke the locked door, which opened.

Ye Han walked inside the room, however strangely enough, there was not a single person there!

At the same time, he could see that the window was open! His expressions immediately turned solemn as he cursed before flying out the window in a hurry to find Xu Shan.

"This..."

Ye Han flew high in the sky, getting a clearer view of his surroundings. However, what he saw made his expressions change even more!

He could see signs of battle. There were blood marks on the ground but no bodies. However, it was clear that some people were killed in those two different directions around the palace.contemporary romance

Even though he couldn't guess the strength of the people who died, or if they were friends or foes; however, looking at the torn flags near those places, it was clear that they were the ones behind this attack! He recognized this flag formation as well.

At the same time, he also saw a third flag in the distance! That was also the most shocking sight! Unlike the first two spots, this time he clearly saw the person who was killed!

He could still feel the aura of the Third Shadow Guard! It was a peak Sky Celestials! That meant the other two people who died were also the ones who maintained these flag formation! They were also Sky Celestials!

However, what was strange was that the man had two daggers, one stabbed in his chest and the other on the back of his neck!

At initial glance, it appeared to be the work of an experienced assassin. However, there was no assassin there. Instead, Xu Shan was sitting near the body. His breathing was still hurried, as if he had just gone through a battle!
