Chapter 209 209: Like a Master

Even after a person's death, this seal was going to exist. As long as a soul lasted, this seal could last.

Not just the seal, but Xu Shan also took more steps. He carved a blood seal on the Empress' back, connecting it to the Soul Seal. If even one link was broken, it meant certain death. He left nothing to chance this time.

Thanks to the seal, the Divine Empress was forced to work for him. It was also one of the two things he wanted her to do in exchange for his help.

As for the second thing, it was simply to take the Book of Devouring from her. But he left that for later since she still needed the Book to utilize the formation and achieve a breakthrough.

"A week?" Xu Shan wanted to finish it faster so he could return to his world, but there was nothing he could do.

The Divine Empress was in much more hurry than him about this formation after all.

"A week it is." Xu Shan turned around and started leaving. The Divine Empress followed after him, only for him to stop her.

"You don't need to follow me."

The Divine Empress nodded and stayed behind. Deep in her heart, she felt quite complicated. On one end, she wanted to hate Xu Shan. But on the other hand, she was also impressed. She knew that if she was in his place, she might have done even worse.

Just leaving her alive was merciful enough.

"I wonder what it would've been like if I had devoured his strength before." She mumbled under her breath, thinking out loud.

"Your mind would've gone crazy. Because there are some things that you just can't devour." Xu Shan's voice came from the distance, shocking the Divine Empress.

Her face went pale. He had heard her. But even after some time passed, Xu Shan didn't return to punish her. Only then she relaxed.

Xu Shan left the Underground from the exit that connected to the Royal Palace. He had one week left, and during that one week, he had nothing better to do. Just thinking about the coming week, he felt bored.

He left the Mansion to take a breath of fresh air.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, warming his face as he strolled through the streets of the Core Zone of the Royal City.

The fragrance of blooming flowers filled his senses, momentarily distracting him from his troubled thoughts. Most of the City was ruined during the calamity. However, the Core Region was repaired the fastest.

At this point, no signs of damage could be seen. This place was as good as new. As most of the Prominent Clans were established in this place, a lot of priority was given to this area.

While Xu Shan was walking freely, many people saw him. At this point, there was not a single person who didn't know him.

Seeing him, even the members of the strongest clans were horrified, trying to avoid his gaze. Not even their Clan Head couldn't afford to offend the young man, let alone them.

Xu Shan intended to check out the outer area, but as he was only halfway through the core region when he stopped. A frown appeared on his face as he looked towards a particular mansion.

This was the Mansion of the Luo Clan. The Clan didn't have anything notable other than the fact that they were influential. It was the second-strongest clan in the Empire. But what made Xu Shan pay attention to the clan wasn't their strength.

Instead, he remembered that this was the same clan where his Bracelet had signaled him. Although he devoured the bracelet and didn't need to worry about heavenly punishment, but with nothing better to do, he decided to check things out.

He approached the entrance of the Clan. The Clan Guards' backs were drenched in sweat as they saw Xu Shan approaching them. Their legs were trembling and they could barely stand straight.

"L-Lord Xu!" The Guards greeted Xu Shan, going down on one knee. They were treating Xu Shan no different than their master since it was said Xu Shan could control everyone's actions if he wanted.

One mistake and they could die at their own hands without even realizing anything.

The Guards hastily opened the door.

Usually, there was a protocol that no one was allowed to enter. If one wanted to enter, they had to wait outside until the Guards informed the Elder incharge of Security and got permission.

However, only a fool could tell Xu Shan to wait.

After opening the door, they stepped aside. They didn't even dare to go inside to inform others if Xu Shan didn't command them.

"Wise people," Xu Shan glanced at the Guards, nodding in satisfaction. "Unfortunately, within a week..."

Shaking his head, he walked past them. The entire world was going to be devoured in a week. It didn't concern Xu Shan and he was in no place to judge anyone for it since he was planning to do the same.

If he already hadn't broken through with an even better source, then he would've been using the formation instead. He wasn't a hypocrite to act like a nice person who felt bad for these people.

Inside the Clan Premise, most people hadn't expected Xu Shan to arrive. Since his aura was hidden, most couldn't even see him unless they looked at him directly. He had completely erased his presence.

The first place Xu Shan came across was the Training Grounds of the Luo Clan. The Training Grounds were between the main entrance and the Clan Mansion. The Training Ground was huge. Thousands of people could train or battle here at the same time.

In fact, some of the members of the Luo Clan were already going through a practice battle at this point.

Xu Shan quietly observed from the sidelines as the practitioners displayed their skills and techniques in perfect harmony. His sharp eyes quickly recognized the varying levels of talent among the participants, as some effortlessly dominated their opponents while others struggled to keep up.

The level of talent in this place was much higher than he saw in the Celestial Realm.
