Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1553 The Unknown Expert

****

It had been a really long time since the Demon Ancestor had been sealed. Ever since then, the Demon Clan's strength went down each passing year by a little. They were still the overlords in terms of strength, but their strength was nothing compared to what their strength was at their peak.

It was the same for Heaven. After their Ancient Emperor was sealed into a statue by the Ancestral God, they also didn't manage to recover their peak strength.

Many of the Ancestral heritages were lost, especially since the war between the Demonic Realm and the Heaven raged on, in which many Seniors of both three Clans were killed.

The Demon Emperor told Long Chen about everything that took place in the world as far as he knew. In this way, he was informing everything to the Demon Ancestor.

Along the way, the Demon Ancestor asked a few questions, regarding the strength difference of the God Beasts and the Heavenly Clan and the whereabouts of the current Heavenly Clan.

On getting an opportunity, Long Chen also asked a few questions, especially related to Tian Shen. According to what he heard from Xun, Tian Shen appeared to have woken up in this commotion and no one knew where he actually was now.

He wanted to see if the Demon Clan knew anything about Tian Shen, or the past of that guy since the Demon Clan was closer to the Immortal Realm from where Tian Shen rose in the past. They had a better chance of knowing about Tian Shen than the others.

"Tian Shen?" The Demon Emperor frowned. "I feel like I've heard that name before... I just don't remember where..."

Hearing the name, the Demon Emperor was slightly taken aback. He couldn't remember just where he heard that name, but he was sure that if he heard the name, it couldn't be an ordinary person.

"Ah, that's right! In the Ancient Books of the Clan! If I'm not wrong, that's where I read this name! Tian Shen was the name of a human cultivator a long time ago! I wasn't even born at that time, but I did read a lot of history and he was mentioned!" he exclaimed.

"Bring that book here. I want to know as much as possible!" Finally Long Chen was sure that he could get some information. He didn't know how much of Xun's memories about Tian Shen were accurate. He believed that the Demon Clan's history was going to be more accurate.

The Demon Emperor could only scratch the back of his head, lowering his head. "Ah, we don't have that book anymore."

"What do you mean?" The Demon Ancestor took the lead. "Don't tell me that you're useless enough to not even be able to protect one book? Why don't you have it?"

"Ah, Ancestor, one of our descendants took the book from the library to read. Unfortunately, when he was out on a mission, he was killed. That book was with him..." The Demon Emperor scratched the back of his head. He couldn't believe he was being scolded like this, but if it was his Ancestor, he wouldn't get angry.

"Even though I don't have that book, I still remember everything I read in it! I'm sure I can tell you everything that was mentioned in the book!"

"Start speaking then," the Ancestor folded his arms, closing his eyes to listen in peace.

"Since Tian Shen became quite famous in his time, my great grandfather sent some Demons to investigate his origins. Those were mentioned in that book," the Demon Emperor started speaking.

"According to the book, Tian Shen was a human cultivator who was born in the Southern Continent of the Immortal Realm. He was said to be quite ordinary in his younger days, but no one knew what fortunate encounter he had, but with time, his strength suddenly started jumping my leaps and bounds."

"During his time, he destroyed many clans in the Immortal Realm. Since most of the destroyed clans were in areas under the Heavenly Realm, our side didn't care about that. According to the book, he was looking for some people. Since he destroyed so many clans in the Immortal World, many Empires were against him."

"It was said that Tian Shen even challenged the Heavenly Emperor at a time by killing a Prince from Heaven who went to the Immortal World to see the situation. I can only imagine how fun this development must've been for the Demon Clan at that time," the Demon Emperor stated. "Since the boy established an enmity with Heaven, our Demon Clan offered him help."

"For some strange reason, the man refused the help. At around the same time, he also disappeared from the world. No one knew where he was. We initially thought that he was killed by Heaven, but the Heaven kept searching for him so it was soon revealed that he wasn't killed by them at least."

"We don't know what he did in the two hundred years that he went missing, but when he appeared again, he was already in the Martial God Realm. This time, he directly attacked Heaven as well."

"One man going against the Heaven?" Long Chen muttered, realizing that the vision about Tian Shen fighting hundreds of Heavenly Warriors wasn't a lie. So that was the strength of this guy.

"If the Heaven still exists, that means he failed?" he asked the Demon Emperor.

"I don't think we can say that he failed. For some reason, in the middle of war, he once again disappeared after destroying half the army of Heaven. From that point on, there had been no news about him. At least none that I know," the Demon Emperor answered, sighing. "I am not even sure where you heard about him or why you're asking."

"However, there is one more thing I forgot to mention!" As if remembering something, he said, "In another book, I heard another incident about a few God Beasts being killed. No one knew who did it. Everyone knew it was done by a mysterious expert. However, the records in our clan mentioned the possibility of it being that same human!"
