Title: Activating the Battle Platform

....

Shun also turned his gaze towards the Fallen God Emperor, there wasn't any tyrannical feeling from him, the devil emperor merely smiled as he sat on his throne, giving off a feeling that he was the lord of this world.

"Today, it's a hundred years again, it must have been difficult for all of you to travel from afar just to congratulate me on my birthday. The banquet is already prepared, later on, just enjoy the feast, there's no need to feel restricted whatsoever." The devil emperor raised his wine cup and toasted the air.

A moment later, everyone present all raised their cups and toasted the devil emperor back, draining the contents within their cups in a single gulp.

"Alright there's no need to stand on ceremony, let the banquet begin." The Fallen God Emperor said

As they spoke, the banquet began as the grand occasion unfolded.

"Old friend, my mood today is pretty good. How about we admire a beautiful dance?" The devil emperor spoke to Old Kan who was beside him.

"Since you have the mood for it, I would naturally have no objections. It's just that I'm a bag of old bones, if you get the devil dancers to perform, I'm afraid I won't be able to endure it." Kan laughed.

As the sound of his voice faded, the atmosphere was suddenly filled with an white mist that generated from an unknown source. Right now, the atmosphere felt like a dream.

"Celestial Lodge?" Shun's eyes flashed as he stared at the area cloaked in mist. Among the crowd, there were suddenly several beautiful figures robed in white, coming forth from different directions, slowly waltzing through the air. Their delicate frames and beautiful faces drew the attention of countless peoples here.

"Xin!" Shun's eyes flickered. Among the nine dancers, one of them was actually Xin, the lady who been with him when he went to the Celestial Lodge. She was waltzing through the air at a speed neither fast nor slow, following a unique rhythm, while exuding an indescribable sense of beauty.

This time around, Shun discovered that the beauty of these nine dancers was all of the top-grade, even surpassing those dancers he saw at the Celestial Lodge back then.

Evidently, in order to celebrate the birthday of the devil emperor, the Celestial Devil Lodge pulled out all the stops.

"What beautiful women. Even someone of my age can sense their charm, how can the young ones resist it? No wonder the Celestial Lodge is so powerful, causing countless heroes and geniuses to be completely mesmerized." Old Kan spoke.

The nine dancers stood at different locations, in the region covered by the mist. Their willowy waists lightly swayed, each and every one of their moments exuded boundless charms. In an instant, the crowd only felt as though the nine dancers were right in front of their eyes, their figures fully occupying their minds. Many people involuntarily placed down their wine cups as they lost themselves in the intricacy of the dance.

Not everyone could see the dance of the Celestial Lodge, not even for geniuses. Only those rankers on the Devil and Devil King Rankings would be qualified enough to watch.

Now, the crowd could completely feast their eyes on these beauties for free.

"These dancers are really awesome." Yuruo sat in the crowd. Even though she was a female, she could feel how mesmerizing those dancers were, let alone for males.

Her gaze turned to Shun's direction only to see him also staring in admiration. After that, she was so angered that her veins were bulging. She cursed in a low voice, "Those devil females and vixens. That fellow disappeared for so long, could it be that he went to visit them?"

One couldn't help but say that these devil dancers were truly magnificent…and Shun had gone to the Celestial Lodge indeed.

Yuxin turned her gaze to her husband, only to see that he was in a daze. He was long mesmerized by the dancers and had a look on his face that spoke of him wanting to go over there to them. This caused the countenance of Yuxin to turn extremely unsightly.

Not only for Aden, countless geniuses here were completely bedazzled as well. The Mercury Lady Art was able to make people immersed completely, unable to extricate themselves from it as they felt a supreme temptation of beauty tempting their senses.

At this moment, sounds of strings being played filled the air like the spring wind skimming across the surface of the lake, gentle and soothing, stirring the hearts of everyone here.

In the air, a supremely beautiful maiden descended from the sky. She was playing want looked like a zither and smiled towards the direction of the devil emperor. This single smile of hers caused countless people to fall in a daze, even devil kings weren't able to control themselves.

"How powerful." Shun felt his mind and spirit shaking, he was about to completely fall within her charm. Only that maiden remained in this entire world, as well as the dancers gorgeous dance steps.

The melody matched completely with the dance. The attention of everyone was focused on the maiden with the zither who just appeared.

She was none other than the female lord of the Celestial Lodge, Merl.

"Good dance, a dance capable of shocking the entire world, as expected of Merl." Old Kan sighed in admiration. In fact, many devil kings were already completely immersed at this moment.

As the sound of his voice faded, the mist gradually dissipated as the dance stopped. Merl walked forward and bowed to the devil emperor, "I offer my congratulations."

"Haha Merl, come sit beside me and drink a cup or two." The Fallen God Emperor laughed.

"Yes, your Majesty." Merl nodded lightly. Her figure flashed and appeared beside the devil emperor.

She then twisted her body slightly, leaning softly against him, exuding boundless charm.

Many people had expressions of envy on their faces when they saw that, all of them wanting nothing more than to be the devil emperor at this instant.

However, they only dared to fantasize about it. Who would dare to be jealous of the devil emperor himself? Only Merl would serve the devil emperor willingly, how would they be qualified?

"You girls can just casually choose wherever you want to sit." The devil emperor spoke to the nine dancers.

"Thank you, your Majesty." The nine dancers noded lightly. Their silhouettes flickered as they chose their seats. Only to see Xin was walking towards Shun. When she arrived before him, she smiled, "Sir Shun, can I sit beside you?"

"Lady Xin, please feel free to." Shun nodded with a smile. In the elite sector, each individual here had a small area to themselves, coupled with seats and a table. There was no problem for two to sit in this area together.

Xin then sat beside Shun, pouring wine for him.

"To think that Lady Xin's dance was so beautiful as well." Shun smiled.

"I initially thought that I would have an opportunity to dance for Sir Shun, but Sir Shun seemed to have already forgotten about me, not going to the lodge to see me." Xin had a wronged expression on her face as she leaned gently on Shun's arm. Her voice was soft and gentle, just like a little lover.

Behind them, Zimo laughed, "Brother Shun is truly awesome."

And not far away from them, Ban's expression grew extremely ugly to behold.

"Vixen, demoness, bastard!" Yuruo, the third princess who was seated even further back, stomped her foot as she cursed. To think that she guessed right, that bastard actually went to seduce other women. No wonder he disappeared for so long.

The Blackstone Devil King had an astonished look on his face at first when he saw this.

After which, he bitterly smiled and shook his head. For a character like Shun to come to the Fallen God Island, his resplendent nature wouldn't be buried, but would shine even brighter.

"You are truly at leisure." Monoshiki drank a cup of wine as he calmly spoke.

Shun didn't bother to reply. He was thinking in his heart. Back then on the island, during the ranking match, Itsuki had already glismped the gate leading to the chakra king realm. And that was before eating a chakra fruit.

As the seemingly lead figure amongst the Otsustsukis present, Monoshiki's strength must have reached an even more unfathomable level. When he eats a chakra fruit, Shun wondered on how overpowered he'd be.

Shun would never underestimate his opponents, but even he had his own confidence. If the King's realms is all about domains, then he wouldn't lose out to most kings.

His chakra though...

"During these hundred years, I wonder if there were any outstanding yougsters which appeared on the Fallen God Island as well as the other islands?" The devil emperor asked.

"There was an extremely outstanding character that appeared on my island."

"Your Majesty, there was also an extremely outstanding character which appeared on my island.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the young fellow who's seating there enjoying the favor of the beauty from the Celestial Lodge, is none other than someone from my island." The Blackstone Devil King pointed at Shun and spoke.

"Hmm, since he could reach the elite sector, his talent is undoubtable." The devil emperor smiled as he glanced at Shun. After which, he asked Merl who stood by her side, "Have you seen this young man before?"

"He should have been to my lodge, but I didn't pay any attention to him. However, the lass Xin seems to be highly enamored with him. Ban of the Devil Rankings tried his best but couldn't even earn a glance from her, while she actually took her initiative to come here to look for that fellow. Then again in fairness, since that young fellow can sit in the elite sector, he must truly have some outstanding points." Merl laughed.

"Seems like things are getting really interesting today." The devil emperor smiled as he glanced at Old Kan, "Merl has a very high evaluation towards that little fellow, yet I think I heard you also praising the young man you brought with you?"

"No matter who it is, no matter how outstanding they are, it's destined that no one would be able to steal his limelight. You will know after you see his performance. The position of number one will be granted to him by you without a doubt." Old Kan smiled.

"You are so confident? I truly want to see his performance." The devil emperor laughed. To him, this celebration was merely a procedure which happened once every hundred years, as well as an opportunity to see the strength of the younger generations in his region.

Since he was the devil emperor, there was already not many things in the Fallen God Region which he needs to take note of personally.

"Go and activate the battle platform." The devil emperor spoke to one of his devil kings.

That devil king nodded and left the area. Old Kan turned his gaze to that floating battle platform which was boundlessly vast and not too long after, the battle platform begin to transform.

Boundless light instantly enveloped the platform as the scene within changed, causing everyone to feel a bout of supremely intense fluctuations of spatial law energy.

Everyone knew that although the platform was extremely vast, it was still impossible for it to contain all the chakra experts for them to battle. They could only depend on a battle formation, using the laws of surrealism to expand this space further, transforming in into an entire world!
