Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Verid Empire\'s Imperial Palace.

Within the forbidden room of the Verid Empire\'s Imperial Palace, an old man dressed in a simple style could be seen seating in a meditative stance with both of his eyes closed, surrounded by numerous blood red crystals.

The old man looked extremely old. He only had a few strands of white hair left. His entire body appeared to be like a dried-up skeleton with only his skin remained.

The old man looked like someone who appeared to have on breath left. It was like someone who was patiently waiting for his inevitable demise or death.

Nonetheless, despite the old man\'s humble robes and his corpse-like appearance, he had the image of a stately emperor. It was as if he had once soared into the nine heavens and conquered the four directions, a natural-born ruler.

Not only that, but his corpse-like body was also emanating a terrifying and shiver-inducing aura.

Anyone who saw this old man would not dismiss him just because of his corpse-like appearance. On the contrary, they would be shivering with creeps the moment they laid their eyes on him.

This old was none other than the founder of the Verid Empire and also the strongest existence in the Verid Empire.

Almost everyone thought that he had died, but very few knew that he was still alive and was buried into the deepest part of the Verid Empire Imperial Palace, never to show himself again in public.

Even all the most powerful officials and the core members of the Verid Empire\'s Imperial Family didn\'t know that their founder and also the first emperor of the Verid Empire was still alive.

Standing in front of the old man, the Mad Emperor didn\'t have his awe-inspiring and majestic look anymore, he was like a little child facing his parent.

"Ron, you did well by not antagonizing and be hostile to that person. He\'s an extremely dangerous and powerful person. Even I could not see through him." Said the old man with an archaic and ancient voice as he opened his eyes, revealing his devastating power that was capable of destroying everything.

Thinking about the incident that occurred earlier when he was trying to investigate Ling Chen with his divine sense, the old man couldn\'t help but felt his entire body become slowly drenched in a cold sweat.

The moment his divine sense was about to enter Ling Chen\'s body to investigate him, a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from his body which instantly swallowed a portion of his soul force.

If he didn\'t quickly retract his divine sense when he did, his entire divine soul would have been completely swallowed by that young man, leaving behind only dried-corpse.

"As for the opportunity he mentioned before, you don\'t have to be too skeptical about it. If he wanted to harm you or the Verid Empire, he didn\'t need to resort to petty tricks. He could have just killed you on the spot before I could even save you." Said the old man with an ugly expression on his face.

"Anyway, just pick three of the most talented younger generations in the Imperial Family and send them to him."

"He didn\'t seem like he was lying. Our Verid Empire might really give birth to three new Paragon realm warriors if they truly grasp the opportunities he\'s going to give them." The old man added with a look of anticipation on his face.

Though Ling Chen was talking to the Mad Emperor earlier in the imperial palace, the old man had the feeling that Ling Chen\'s words directed at him when he was talking about the opportunity. That was even more true for his last sentence.

"I understand." Answered the Mad Emperor in a respectful tone.

"Alright, you can go now. I need to go back and seal myself again." Said the old man before he closed his eyes.

.........................

"Damn, though these clothes aren\'t as comfortable as my previous clothes, they do look pretty good on me." Murmured Ling Chen as he was looking at his reflection in the mirror.

He was currently wearing an expensive all-out black suit along with a black long trench coat. His long hair was tied behind his back, revealing his perfect and flawless facial appearances.

It could be said that his appearances were simply unrivaled throughout the world and was a natural lady killer.

His demonic and divine eyes contained a unique amount of attractiveness and fascination to them and seemed as if they could steal the soul of whomever. Even the most beautiful supermodel\'s beauty was pale in comparison to him at the moment.

"I think I\'ll keep this one." Ling Chen added with a light smile on his face as he took another glance at his reflection before he went back into his room.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Ling Chen got bored staying in this large mansion by himself. He couldn\'t bring out his children outside yet as he didn\'t want them to be seen due to his plan.

As such, he could only kill his boredom by trying those weird clothes in the mansion.

Furthermore, as he was going to spend time in the Verid Empire before traveling throughout the whole Omega Galaxy, he wanted to assimilate into their culture as he didn\'t want to look too suspicious.

As such, the first thing he had to do was to change his clothing style which didn\'t look anything like the Verid Empire\'s clothing style.

At this moment, Ling Chen didn\'t look like an outsider anymore. He looked like one of those powerful and wealthy young masters of the Verid Empire.

Before entering his room, Ling Chen also ordered one of the maids to bring him a few bottles of those tasty and strong wine he was drinking earlier.

"Anyway, I already threw out the bait. All I can do now is wait to see how long the prey will last before he bites." Ling Chen said with a devilish smile on his face as he sipped the jug of wine in his hand.
