Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

The Lightning Dragon descended with an earth-shaking impact. Its immense size made Xu Shan appear minuscule in comparison. The mere tooth of the Dragon was larger than Xu Shan's entire being.

As Xu Shan stopped in the sky, facing the descending Dragon, his left eye started shining. It was as if all the Stars in his left eye had come to life!

A similar illusion of the Celestial Stars appeared behind him, creating a strange ethereal pattern.

It was as if the billions of smaller stars were creating a complex formation behind Xu Shan. It was a sight to behold, but unfortunately, no one other than Xu Shan could see it.

The sky was so bright that even taking a short glance was impossible. The light of the stars and the light of the lightning dragon seemingly clashed, making the sky even brighter.

Even though it was night, the sky was as bright as it had never been. Even in the brightest of days, it wasn't like this. Many residents of the Royal City were stunned, unaware as to what was happening

One moment they saw a Dragon descend from the sky and the next moment, everything turned bright.

Not just the Royal City, but people much farther away from the Royal City could also see this strange phenomena.

Xu Shan took a deep breath. He was trusting the Book of Truth, but even then, he could feel how impressive the Lightning Dragon was. Just being in its present, he felt a cold sweat on his face. If possible, he didn't want to face this so soon, but he had made up his mind!

This was the time for him to Devour the Heavens!

As the Celestial Star Formation was completed, another mighty aura descended. A Shadow materialized before the Star Formation.

Even the Divine Empress had only managed to catch a single glimpse of the Shadow before bleeding from all her orifices, soon taking her gaze off.

The Shadow appeared quite identical to Xu Shan. The only difference was in the attire. The Shadow had a different set of clothes. And it was also much larger... Almost the same size as the Dragon.

"Don't break my trust," Xu Shan glanced at the screen in the corner of his view one last time, before raising his left hand.

As if following his movements, the giant illusory figure behind him also raised its left hand.

The Lightning Dragon roared even fiercely, as if it was furious at being challenged. Even though the Heavenly Punishment didn't have much intelligence, he did have a certain set of feelings.

The Lightning Dragon opened its mouth wide, intending to swallow Xu Shan and his shadow. Lightning strikes also fell from the sky, targeting Xu Shan.

Unfortunately for the Lightning Dragon, none of those Lightning Strikes managed to hit Xu Shan, every single one being devoured by the Star Formation behind him.

Xu Shan stood there, resolute, as the Lightning Dragon's roars reverberated through the sky. The celestial stars behind him continued to shine, their brilliance seemingly growing stronger with each passing moment.

As the Lightning Dragon lunged forward with its mighty jaws, Xu Shan and his shadow raised their right hands in unison as well.

A surge of energy pulsed through Xu Shan's body, coursing through the connection he had with his celestial shadow. It was as though they were two halves of the same entity, perfectly synchronized in their movements.

With a determined expression, Xu Shan channeled his power into both his hands, causing the giant illusory figure to do the same.

He could never have thought of a crazy plan like this in the past, but things were different. He was going to devour the Lightning Dragon, and break through to the Immortal Realm at this moment!

If there was one source of energy which was comparable to the lives of every existence in this world, it was the Heavenly Punishment before him!

Moreover, if he were to devour the lives of the Upper Realm, he could enter the Immortal Realm, but with the Heavenly Dragon, not only could he enter the Immortal Realm, but he could also strengthen his body with the Heavenly Law. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The clash between the Lightning Dragon and Xu Shan's celestial shadow sent shockwaves across the sky. The heavens themselves seemed to tremble under the immense power being unleashed.

Lightning strikes continued to rain down, but each one was effortlessly absorbed by the celestial star formation, further fueling Xu Shan's strength.

The Divine Empress and onlookers from the Royal City only heard the terrifying sounds, unable to even take a look. It was a battle of titanic proportions, a showdown between a human and a celestial beast. The very fabric of reality seemed to warp and twist around them as they clashed.

The Lightning Dragon's head was grabbed by Xu Shan's Celestial Spirit, which made it unable to move forward. Even worse for the Dragon was that the Celestial Spirit was devouring the Heavenly Aura of the Lightning Dragon.

Xu Shan bit his lips, feeling a surge of energy entering his body. It was painful, to the point of overwhelming his mind. This was nothing like a small trace of heavenly law on the bracelet. This was the Heavenly Aura that came straight from Heaven!

Even with the Celestial Spirit, it wasn't easy. Xu Shan could feel a burn on his hands even though he wasn't touching the Lightning Dragon directly. His skin and flesh burned, making the bones of his hands visible, but he didn't remove his hand!

His Celestial Spirit depended on him, and he depended on it. If even a single point of this connection was broken, it could leave him alone to face the Lightning Dragon, and be heavily injured.

As the battle raged on, Xu Shan's left eye continued to shine with an otherworldly light, and the celestial stars behind him blazed with an intensity that defied imagination.

Fortunately, Xu Shan could see the Lightning Dragon weaken. It was working! He believed he truly could do it! His strength also kept increasing.

Unfortunately, just as he was feeling happy, his face turned pale. He looked at the sky, hearing more roars.

To his shock, three more Lightning Dragons descended from the sky! Heaven was truly furious.
