<h4>Chapter 698 Title At The End... :p</h4>


    Tian Long and Raksha looked at the red dragon condensed from heavenly lightning and felt their hearts skip a beat. Fairy Moon Jade gasped and eximed, "What does it mean?"


    Tian Long replied, "Snake, Hydra, and Dragon all carry the blood of a heavenly dragon. The heavens are testing hisprehension. If he managed to hold onto even a shard of his belief after this, he would be promoted and would condense the unbeatable level of the Immortal King crown. If he failed, his soul will scatter to ashes."


    Raksha nodded gently and said, "What other option do we have but to believe in him?"


    The trio exchanged nces and nodded. Fairy Moon Jade gazed at Yun Xue and said, "Do not worry, he will be fine."


    Raksha looked at Yun Xue and said, "Girl, I will not give you any fake hopes. In the future, you will also face a tribtion. It may not harm you physically, but mentally, it will squeeze you dry. He and Amelia can give up anything for each other. You have to be prepared."


    Yun Xue was shocked and said, "I understand, Senior. Please rest assured, I do not seek any title or a ce beside him but his acknowledgment of my feelings. I will try my best, and if that is not enough, I will keep trying until I die."


    Raksha looked at her for a prolonged moment and nodded before they turned to gaze at the Terran sitting on the ground.


    ...


    Shi Lang was on the ground with a body that ached all over. His bones were fractured, and his muscles were torn. He could not move, as most of his body was paralyzed. The terran thought, ''I did not expect it to be so hard this time. Unlike in the past, I cannot even absorb the energy from the lightning. What bad luck. It must be because someone jinxed me.''


    As he was thinking, a roar echoed in his mind. He sighed and said, "Come."


    Then his body jolted, thrown up in the void by the impact, and flung a hundred meters. Many trees were turned into shards as Shi Lang collided with them. The terran coughed up a lot of blood, and his face was pale. He did not stand back on his feet after the strike.


    His organs were damaged to a great degree. The only thing keeping him alive was his immortal soul and the lightning coursing through his body. It destroyed him, but it also forcefully kept him alive.


    Inside his soul sea, the situation was the opposite. His immortal soul was dressed in an armor of lightning and fighting against the dragon. The destruction was mutual. The soul sea was filled with cracks and deste patches stuck like a sore thumb in the beautifulndscape.


    However, Shi Lang did not have the luxury to enjoy the view at the moment, and he needed to slowly fend off the dragon eroding his immortal soul along with hisprehension and beliefs of the dao path.


    The de in his hand was getting dimmer. The lightning dao rules that heprehended to condense it were damaged. Shi Lang did not have the time to care about them. He drew his spear in one hand and faced the dragon, charging at him to the best of his ability.


    He tried to block the attacks and retaliate against the dragon with his attacks, but nothing worked. Shi Lang did not know how to fight this thing. It was like a child standing against a god. The fight made him realize that he was still weak.


    As he fought, he dwelled on this idea. Why was he weak? Why was he still unable to stand against the wheel of the heavens? After all this effort and pain he had to endure? Shi Lang thought about why he had started cultivating in the first ce.


    To live a life without regrets. He wished to reach the peak while having no regrets. To achieve this, the infamous scavenger king stopped doing what he usually did. He stopped snatching chances from people and became soft. He stopped seeking adventures and tried to do things in a low-key way to reach the peak of his potential.


    However, thinking about this, he was not a person who was easily satisfied. Jumping on the side to avoid the dragon lurching at him, the terran thought about what happened to him. When did he be so soft?


    At this moment, the dragon roared, and the next moment, Shi Lang found himself standing on a peak. The summit of a mountain was surrounded by thick fog. Shi Lang wore a murky robe, covering his face with a mask.


    Shi Lang was surprised, and then he tried to recall where he was when he heard a loud shout from behind him, "Scavenger, stop! You cannot run away. This Hundred Sword peak will be your burial ground."


    The terran took a deep breath to let the moment sink in. This ce was where he made his first-ever snatch from a big family. He looked up and found a group of people all wearing brocade robes, and they were ring at him.


    The terran chuckled and said, "Young Master Yan, if res could kill, I would have died by now for sure."


    The young man against him yelled as he walked closer, "You will die, Scavenger, not by my gaze, but my hands. I will kill you with my bare hands."


    Shi Lang smiled and took out a scroll from his sleeve. He extended his hand over the cliffside and said, "Young Master Yan if you took one more step, do you believe I will throw this precious treasure that you have been searching for in the ravine of the dead?"


    Young Master Yan froze and rebuked, "If you dared to do any such things, I will chop you to pieces, and then I will dump your corpse into the ravine as well. However, if you gave me the scroll, I will let you walk away from him with just one hand as a penalty for stealing."


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "Do you think I will believe your words? You probably are not very aware of your morality. Anyhow, since you intend to kill me with or without the scroll. I prefer to die with it."


    Young Master Yan could not understand what the Scavenger would do, but then he saw Shi Lang jumping off the cliff and into the ravine. The young man was shocked and rushed forward to check, but he could only see so far because of the mist. After uttering a few profanities, the young man left the ce.


    The sun set down, and the howling wind became the only sound in the surroundings. At that moment, some stones cluttered, and Shi Lang walked up from the side. The young man had to make quite an effort to get his feet on the ground.


    He panted and spat on the ground. Shi Lang mumbled, "Fuck you, Yan. Fuck your family and just wait. Once I break through to the next realm, I will visit your family treasury for an aptpensation."


    ...


    The scene made Shi Lang chuckle and realize how he had acted in the face of death. Earlier, before he snatched at Young Master Yan''s stuff, he had tied a rope to the cliff wall, and when he jumped, he made sure to catch that rope. To avoid getting detected by the young man, he hung onto the rope for a whole day.


    This was a crazy but necessary precaution that he needed to take for survival. As brave as he was to go against the big guns, he feared death, too. He was never caught and became known as the Scavenger King.


    Thinking about this, Shi Lang found his lost spirit. His drive to seek fortune in the face of trouble. He opened his eyes and found the dragon rushing at him through the void. He held his sword and said, "Before I became the Shura, I was the scavenger. Come."


    The terran charged at the dragon for the first time. This time, he was not aggressive in a passive manner. He was charging at the dragon, holding what he believed in. This was a survival of the fittest world, and Shi Lang may not be the fittest, but his desire to survive was greater than anyone.


    ...


    Tian Long narrowed his eyes suddenly and asked, "Moon, do you sense that?"


    Fairy Moon Jade smiled and said, "Look, who is back."


    The two exchanged nces, and Tian Long sighed and shook his head. Fairy Moon Jade erupted into aughter. The people were confused, and Raksha said, "The entire Immortal ne is about to be flipped upside down on its head."


    Emperor Hell me could not understand what they meant and could not help but ask them, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"


    Tian Long sighed and replied, "Believe me, Elder Hell me. You do not want to know what they mean by this. Not everyone can take the burden on their hearts."


    Raksha rebuked him, "Old Man, you better not make too big of an issue out of it and tell him to stay low. He will not survive the next level like this. Aftering to this ce, the sense of staying low dulled his instincts. He needs to be the way he was in the past. Only then can he do what he is meant to. Understand."


    Fairy Moon Jade nodded and said, "I agree with her. You better not do anything like that to save yourself the trouble. It is time you work up your bones again."


    At this moment, the skies rumbled, and the red and golden lightning slowly vanished. The skies cleared, and bright golden light fell on Shi Lang''s body. The people had sensed the change in his aura, but they did not notice that his life was hanging by a thread.


    Shi Lang''s body was covered with a golden glow, and he floated in the void. The terran''s body was repaired by heaven''s providence. The people watched him change, and slowly, a crown that looked like blood jade with a tint of gold condensed around his head, an armor of lightning condensed on his body, and he held a lightning sword and a spear in his hands.


    Yun Xue fell to her knees, and so did the others. The excitement of this tribtion was too much for them to take. Emperor Hell me took a deep breath and mumbled, "Even though I have a higher than him. I still feelpelled to bow to him. Why so?"


    Tian Long said, "It is because he has an invincible crown on his head."


    Raksha smiled and said, "Look at him smile. I have missed that smirk of shamelessness."


    Tian Long said, "How about we title him the shameless king?"


    Fairy Moon Jade chuckled and said, "Petty, his title is decided. Ladies and gentlemen, lo and behold, Shura King."
