“Shut up! Don’t think that you can bully me just because I’m down and out!” roared the person Long Chen had injured. He was this stronghold’s master.
All his elites had been killed. Such immense damage was something that couldn’t be recovered from without several centuries.
Originally, his stronghold had counted as above average amongst the seven strongholds. But now, they had immediately become the bottom existence, and even he had been beaten badly. He was already enraged, and as soon as that other elder added some oil to the fire, he exploded.
As for the person he cursed, he was infuriated to be pointed at and cursed back. He had long since gotten tired of that old monster’s bragging, and he was just about to counterattack.
Suddenly, a golden figure charged through the spatial portal, startling everyone. But when they saw that it was just one person, they hesitated.
“Don’t activate the killing formation. They sent one scapegoat, so don’t waste the formation on one person,” shouted one of the Corrupt path’s elders.
“Scapegoat? Fuck your mother, I am the grand and illustrious Guo Ran! When did I become a scapegoat? Fuck, here!”
Guo Ran furiously tossed out a huge sphere. It landed in front of the spatial portal, an empty land covered in runes. It was a huge killing formation.
BOOM!!!
The huge sphere exploded upon striking the land. An immense force instantly erupted.
“Not good!”
The bomb’s explosion was absolutely horrifying, as it completely destroyed the killing formation. Not only that, but bone thorns also shot out like rain.
Those bone thorns came from the Immemorial Path. Even ordinary Sea Expansion experts couldn’t handle them, let alone the Xiantian disciples the Corrupt path had gathered. Anyone touched by a bone thorn would instantly die.
This attack’s scope was incredibly huge, and although the Foundation Forging experts hastily took action and formed barriers of light, tens of thousands of their disciples had still been killed. These bone thorns contained poison, and a single one of them could pierce through hundreds of disciples. They were just too weak in comparison.
“Kill that golden armored monstrosity!”
The Corrupt path’s experts roared. They found that the killing formation they had set up in advance had been completely ruined and couldn’t be activated. They had the urge to tear Guo Ran apart piece by piece.
“I’ve already said, my name is Guo Ran! Are my words too complicated for you, or are you deaf?!” raged Guo Ran.
Buzz...
Just as the Corrupt path was thrown into a mess by Guo Ran’s attack, the sky suddenly darkened.
“What’s going on?”
“Heavens, someone’s undergoing tribulation!”
A huge mass of people charged out of the spatial portal. Their initial seas surged behind them.
BOOM!
Endless lightning poured down from the sky, landing amongst them.
“It’s a Sea Expansion tribulation! Sea Expansion experts, hurry up and kill them! Foundation Forging experts, suppress your cultivation bases to Sea Expansion and slaughter them, quick!” shouted one of the Foundation Forging experts.
They hadn’t expected Long Chen to be so ruthless as to send in a huge group of people that were undergoing tribulation. This move was too vicious. Because this was a Sea Expansion tribulation, their Xiantian disciples all met misfortune. This tribulation wasn’t something they could endure.
“A portion of you, go kill them! Xiantian disciples, gather together and find a Sea Expansion expert to protect you. This is just the first wave of the tribulation and isn’t that strong! Quick, kill them now!” roared a Foundation Forging expert.
“Hahaha, in a battle against opponents from the same realm, when have the Dragonblood warriors ever been afraid of anyone?” The Dragonblood warriors laughed and brandished their weapons, slaughtering their enemies.
Their collective tribulation was a part of Long Chen’s battle plans. Within the scope of the tribulation clouds, everyone had to suppress their power to the level of the person undergoing tribulation. Otherwise, the heavenly tribulation would suddenly grow in power.
Unless the Foundation Forging experts gave up on everyone else’s lives, they couldn’t go all-out. Otherwise, this Sea Expansion tribulation would become Foundation Forging tribulation. That tribulation could instantly annihilate anyone below Foundation Forging.
At this time, Long Chen, Ouyang Qiuyu, and the others also entered. However, Long Chen didn’t participate in the battle. Instead, he just calmly watched.
No one was more confident in the Dragonblood Legion’s power than Long Chen. On this battlefield, no one could defeat them in the same realm.
When those Sea Expansion elders that had valiantly demanded to be allowed into the fight saw the sea of Corrupt experts, they were all startled. They hadn’t expected the Corrupt path to possess such numbers.
However, they also saw the Dragonblood warriors slaughtering their way into their midst while also dealing with the lightning tribulation. They were like tigers pouncing on a flock of sheep. Each slash of their blades killed a group. This was an absolute slaughter.
“Long Chen, this move of yours is ruthless. You’re forcing the Corrupt path to not use their true power.” Ouyang Qiuyu couldn’t help being moved.
She saw that the Foundation Forging experts who charged toward the Dragonblood Legion were completely unaccustomed to fighting with their cultivation bases suppressed to Sea Expansion. They didn’t dare to use many of their moves, and as a result, a single one of them was at most able to hold back five Dragonblood warriors. Just five disciples were able to go against a Foundation Forging expert. They were so furious that their faces were green. Then seeing the Dragonblood warriors slaughtering their elite disciples, they felt like they might explode.
“Disciple of the Righteous path, just wait! We’ll slaughter you to the last!” roared one of the Foundation Forging experts.
“I’ll slaughter you all with a smash of my club!” Wilde charged out. The lightning rain was unable to affect him at all, and he charged right in front of that Foundation Forging expert.
“Fuck off, do you think I’m easy to bully?” roared the Foundation Forging expert. He sent a punch at Wilde.
Seeing that, quite a few of the Sea Expansion elders couldn’t help but feel worried for Wilde. But they suddenly found that Long Chen, Meng Qi, and the others suddenly couldn’t bear to watch and turned away.
Bang!
That Foundation Forging expert had his cultivation base suppressed to Sea Expansion. As a result, a single smash of Wilde’s club destroyed half his upper body. And before he could even react, Wilde’s second smash blew him to bits.
The Sea Expansion elders were all horrified. A Foundation Forging expert, an almost pinnacle existence within the Eastern Wasteland, had been killed with two smashes of a club. This was too hard to believe.
Even Ouyang Qiuyu was filled with shock, her hand covering her mouth. She couldn’t believe her eyes.
On the contrary, Long Chen’s expression was calm; everything was within his expectations. Wilde was a complete freak. He had no cultivation base, and the heavenly tribulation was unable to lock onto him.
For a Foundation Forging expert to suppress his cultivation base to Sea Expansion, he would only be a bit stronger than a peak Sea Expansion expert. But Wilde’s power wasn’t suppressed at all, so for him to be able to kill that expert with two smashes of his club was completely normal.
Wilde’s participation in the battle caused complete chaos. He was focusing on the strongest experts of the Corrupt path, the Foundation Forging experts.
When another Foundation Forging expert activated his Treasure item but was still almost killed in a single blow, he shouted, “Avoid that giant brat! Something’s off about him!”
Wilde wreaked havoc amongst the Corrupt path as he chased the Foundation Forging experts through the battlefield. Seeing Fo
undation Forging experts fleeing like chickens in front of a dog, Ouyang Qiuyu and the others were flabbergasted.
Buzz!
The lightning tribulation grew even stronger. Lightning rain, lightning arrows, lightning spears, and finally, lightning beasts appeared. The Corrupt path was finally unable to bear it. The Xiantian experts were still blown apart even under the protection of Sea Expansion experts.
“Hold! This is the final wave of the tribulation!” shouted a Foundation Forging expert. He saw lightning beasts descending from the sky one by one.
By the time the lightning beasts had filled the battlefield, the Corrupt path’s original army of over four hundred thousand had been reduced by two thirds. Ninety-nine percent of their casualties had been because of the heavenly tribulation.
RUMBLE!
“What, it’s over already? Is this the bias given to Celestials?” Seeing the tribulation clouds slowly scatter, Long Chen couldn’t help being disappointed.
He had an urge to fly up and give it a punch to bring it back, but he decided against it. Then he would be playing a bit too big.
“You damnable Righteous path, time for you to die!” roared one of the Foundation Forging experts. His aura erupted and he sent a powerful palm crashing toward the Dragonblood warriors.
Chapter 935 The Corrupt Path’s Terrifying Strength
“You’re the one who should die, you old ghost!”
A huge giant appeared in the sky, breaking his palm-image with a single blow.
Wilde had activated the Barbarian Blood Bronze Body. He smashed apart his attack and then sent another smash toward him.
“Corrupt Blood Grand Formation!” shouted the Foundation Forging expert. He suddenly transformed to look like a ghoul who had just flown out of a pool of blood. Ghost Qi soared out of his body, and with a wave of his hand, a blood-colored spear shot toward Wilde.
BOOM! The blood-colored spear was shattered by a single blow from Wilde.
“Impossible! How can you not be affected by the blood soul impact?!” Seeing Wilde had no reaction, that Corrupt Foundation Forging expert was shocked.
That blood spear of his was not just a physical attack. It also contained a powerful spiritual aspect, one that would confuse a person’s mind and make a person fall into illusions. They would fall into a blood sea that they couldn’t escape from.
He couldn’t believe that Wilde really had no reaction to his attack.
“What Corrupt Blood Grand Formation, what soul impact? My brother Long said that no matter what enemies I face, they can all be handled with a good smash of my club! If one smash isn’t enough, then two! If two isn’t enough, then I just have to continue until they’re dead! Watch!”
Wilde once more smashed his club at him.
The Corrupt expert refused to accept this, and he launched seven of those blood spears again. But Wilde seemed immune to the blood soul impact, causing him to be so furious that he involuntarily trembled.
Foundation Forging experts possessed a high level of comprehension into spatial energy. Thus, they were able to release the full power of magical arts.
But no matter what magical arts this Foundation Forging expert used, whether offensive or defensive, Wilde would simply repeatedly smash his club at him. The runes of his magical arts would shatter each time.
At the same time, Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, Gu Yang, Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan all moved out, starting a fierce fight with the Foundation Forging experts. Ouyang Qiuyu and the others were shocked to see that they were able to fight Foundation Forging experts one on one without losing.
Originally, they had been weaker than Wilde. But that weakness had been erased after consuming rank four Heavenly Dao Fruits and the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood. Their power had reached a completely new level.
“Should we first destroy their transportation formations and cut the reinforcements off?” asked Ouyang Qiuyu.
“No need. Since we’re playing, let’s play bigger. I want to make the Corrupt path pay a miserable price.” Long Chen shook his head. Xue You had completely infuriated him. Right now, he wasn’t fighting for the Righteous path, but for revenge for Little Snow. A blood debt had to be paid with blood.
“Fine, up to you. In any case, I’m just accompanying you. I’ll go out first.” Ouyang Qiuyu smiled slightly. She felt a feeling of freedom she hadn’t felt in a long time. Long Chen was the true leader of this battlefield. Ouyang Qiuyu felt a feeling of delight.
This was the first time in many years that the burden on her shoulders was released. She felt relaxed and carefree. She had an urge to give Long Chen the title of sect master.
In fact, she felt like she had returned to the springtime of her youth back when her blood had been boiling as well.
“Brats from the Corrupt path, if you have any skill, come and try me!”
Perhaps it was because she had forgotten herself or perhaps she was just too excited, or perhaps Ouyang Qiuyu had always been hiding her craziness. But she actually shouted such an inappropriate thing as she charged out.
Ouyang Qiuyu attacked, blocking five Foundation Forging experts on her own. Her jade palm released powerful runes that caused the world to shake.
What startled Long Chen was that Ouyang Qiuyu’s magical arts were different from others. She didn’t need any hand seals. With each wave of her hand, a rune flew out and transformed into a sword.
In truth, Ouyang Qiuyu had been holding back when she had fought outside the spatial portal. She had been constantly thinking about what kind of victory she required in order to win back the Xuantian Dao Sect’s face.
She had possessed the power to kill those two Foundation Forging experts back then. After all, she had already touched the next barrier. Compared to an ordinary Foundation Forging expert, she was much stronger.
However, what she wanted was a total victory. She needed her disciples to win as well, as just slaughtering the Corrupt experts on her own wasn’t enough to raise their morale.
Furthermore, that would go against the unwritten rules of the Righteous and Corrupt battles. During huge battles, the experts on both sides couldn’t attack those of a weaker level. Once they did, the entire world would become chaotic. With each side doing their best to ruin the other, there was no way for either party to develop.
This law of troops fighting troops, generals fighting generals had existed since a long time ago. Otherwise, if everyone started sending experts to kill their opponents’ children, this world would become completely chaotic.
That was why even if Ouyang Qiuyu had killed those two Foundation Forging experts, it wouldn’t have counted as a victory to her. She had needed her disciples to kill the Corrupt experts and win a double-sided victory.
However, all of this had been changed by Long Chen. He didn’t give a damn about any of that. He directly charged into their hive, and his goal was only to cause their blood to turn into rivers. He wanted revenge.
Ouyang Qiuyu had thrown caution to the wind, allowing Long Chen to do as he pleased. She would rather be a merry warrior and charge into the front lines.
“Long Chen, what do you want us to do?” asked a monastery head. They had all made their preparations.
“Just watch, or perhaps activate some photographic jades to record the battle. You can use those to encourage your disciples in the future,” said Long Chen indifferently.
“What… Is that really alright?” he asked.
“There’s no choice. This battle is just the beginning. Look, another two Foundation Forging experts just appeared from the transportation formation. That means our enemies are still gathering. The battle will only grow more intense. You might have the correct heart, but you don’t have the power. In this battle, any random shockwave might kill you. Such death has no meaning.” Long Chen shook his head. The transportation formation was constantly lighting up. Groups of Corrupt experts were constantly appearing, and they had all at least reached Sea Expansion.
The monastery head sighed despond
ently. The others also looked dispirited.
“I don’t say these things because I’m looking down on you or because I want to insult you. I want you to know just how big this world is. As for us, for some insignificant advantages, we act like a leaf can blind us to a mountain. The only thing we do is use our small intellects to fight against each other. There is no meaning behind that. Although the lot of you don’t have the power to fight here, you have plenty of experience and can use that experience to raise your disciples in the future. Let them resolve the regrets you have,” said Long Chen.
They all clearly understood his reasoning. Seeing these experts fighting, they felt even more regret for wasting all their time on useless things.
“Just watch here. I have work to do.”
Long Chen also charged into the battle in the air. That was the battle of the Foundation Forging experts. More and more Corrupt experts were appearing, and Long Chen went to replace Li Qi and Song Mingyuan.
In the air, the two of them were like fish that had jumped onto dry land. They were already starting to buckle.
“Go take a break. Remember my signal.”
Long Chen summoned his divine ring and slashed with his saber, blocking three Foundation Forging experts.
“Alright.” Li Qi and Song Mingyuan both wiped off their sweat. They really were unable to bring out their full power in the air.
Long Chen had joined the battle, but he didn’t use his full power. He was simply stalling as he fought with Ouyang Qiuyu and the others.
More and more experts were arriving. The Corrupt path’s Foundation Forging experts now numbered twenty-five. That number was shocking.
Down below, the majority of the Xiantian experts had been killed. Blood dyed the ground scarlet, and corpses littered the ground. Right now, the battlefield on the ground belonged solely to Sea Expansion experts.
Tens of thousands of Sea Expansion experts had surrounded the Dragonblood Legion. Despite their huge numbers advantage, they were unable to stop the Dragonblood Legion. With each passing breath, several of their experts died.
