Rise of the Demon God

"Which two idiots?" The Snake Monarch and the Blood Dragon Emperor came out of the restaurant. 

"And what are you doing wasting time with them? We need to save him! Don't waste time, and let's leave," Snake Monarch said. "Am I the only one here who is serious about this mission? The two of you keep delaying us."

Zhu Chang's face again twitched, wondering when he delayed. It was these two idiots who took so long to eat! He was waiting here for them!

He took a long breath to calm his anger. "I need to find him fast so I can return this headache to him."

He looked at the two men who were sitting on their knees. "Too bad I can't have fun here. In that case, I'll finish it fast."

He casually waved his head, making two heads drop on the group. The Ming Clan Patriarch and the Town Elder were killed. 

After taking care of the two men, he started rising in the air and flew towards the South, holding the Heavenly Warrior by his throat.

Through the glass windows, everyone inside the restaurant saw what had just happened. None of them dared to make a single noise even though all the customers inside the restaurant were scared after they saw the Heavenly Warrior being defeated and the Town Elder and Ming Patriarch killed. 

Fortunately, Ji Lin was left alive. She was standing frozen in her place. She had expected Zhu Chang to be from an influential family who could intimidate the Heavenly Warrior, but even she hadn't expected him to be so strong that he could toy with the Heavenly Warrior like that?

And he killed the two leaders of the town as well? She wondered why he left her alive when she was standing with them? Maybe because she didn't go along with the lie that he had cursed the Heavenly Emperor? That seemed to be the only difference. 

...

Long Chen was given a tour of the entire prison where the outer prisoners could go to. He had already seen the library and the restaurant, but he was also shown the practice Arena where the outer prisoners practiced and trained against each other if they wanted. 

Inside the Training  Arena, everyone could challenge everyone. However, killing a person wasn't allowed here. It wasn't an official rule that a person couldn't kill, but these were the rules made by prisoners to make sure that the prisoners weren't scared to come here. 

They didn't want to lack training partners. It was a place where everyone came to train without the fear of death. The prisoners trained by fighting against each other in one on one battles. Sometimes even team battles were made. 

Even though this arena was safe to encourage people to come here, there was also a downside of this place. 

If a prisoner came here, then he must be prepared to fight! That was the law. Because after entering, everyone could be challenged by a person and they couldn't refuse. 

So if a person entered, he could be challenged by the weakest person. Or he could be challenged by the strongest person. It didn't matter who challenged him; he needed to fight that person. 

That was why Zia Uzhi only showed Long Chen und arena from the outside, without completely stepping inside since he wasn't in the mood to fight. And he was sure that Long Chen was too weak to fight. It wasn't going to do him any good if he fought and was defeated.

However, Long Chen insisted on going inside, which ultimately forced Zia Uzhi to take him inside. Since there was no risk of death, Long Chen wanted to experience fighting people here. Even though he couldn't use his laws, he could still use his cultivation. 

Moreover, according to the third law, in the battle, both the participants needed to be in the same cultivation realm. So the stronger person often restricted their cultivation. Since he was going to face a person of the same cultivation, he didn't need to be scared. 

As he stepped inside the arena, he grew amazed. The arena looked big from the outside, but it looked even bigger from the inside. 

From the outside, it looked big enough to accommodate thousands of people easily, but as Long Chen stepped inside, he realized that it was at least a million times bigger on the inside. 

"Are they using some space manipulation here?" Long Chen asked Zia Uzhi. 

"That's right. We are in a different space at the moment. That's why you find it bigger. It's not that surprising. Many people in the Heavenly Realm use something like this. It's pretty common actually," Zia Uzhi answered. 

It was such a big place that Long Chen couldn't even see the end of it. He did find thousands of battles taking place all around him. 

As he observed the surroundings, he noticed a young man looking at him, grinning. 

As the man's eyes met Long Chen, his grin widened. 

"Hey! New fish! It's the first time I'm seeing a new face here. I challenge you to fight!" The dark haired man told Long Chen. 

"Challenge?" Long Chen asked. Just as expected, he was challenged as soon as he stepped inside. 

He nodded. "I accept."

He was informed of the rules and knew that he couldn't refuse, so he accepted immediately. 

"Good! So tell me your cultivation realm. I'll restrict my cultivation to that!" The Dark Haired man said. He was sure that Long Chen was weaker. 

As soon as Long Chen told the man his cultivation, his face dropped. 

"What the hell? Aren't you pathetically weak? How did you even end up here?" The dark haired man let out, upset. "If I knew you were so weak, I wouldn't have challenged you either. Now I have no choice but to go along with it. What a waste."

He looked at Zia Uzhi and sighed. "I should've challenged you instead. Even though you look like a kid, you're stronger than him."

He restricted his cultivation and prepared to fight. He already knew the outcome of the battle though. Even though the cultivation realm was temporarily the same, the true strength of both of them was different. 

The Dark Haired man knew that his skills alone were going to be miles ahead of him. He couldn't believe it. 

"Are we allowed to use Weapons, or is it hand-to-hand combat?" Long Chen asked the man, ignoring his condescending gaze. 

"Meh, use whatever you want. It's not as if that will change anything," the Dark Haired man sighed. "Since you're so weak, I won't even need to use Weapons. You can use them. I'll fight bare handed."

"I'll go bare handed too then," Long Chen declared.
