“Green Dragon Battle Armor!”
Green scales covered Long Chen’s body. This was his first time using the Green Dragon Battle Armor since reaching the fifth Heavenstage.
108,000 green scales covered his body, and his 108,000 immortal platforms suddenly began to fiercely revolve. Each one of them echoed with one of his dragon scales, and in that instant, it was like 108,000 volcanoes were erupting.
Boundless energy charged throughout Long Chen’s body, and a powerful aura shattered space, piercing through the sky.
The spatial twisting around them suddenly vanished, allowing everyone to clearly see a pillar of qi soaring out of Long Chen, parting the clouds.
A huge vortex appeared in the sky, constantly revolving. It was an apocalyptic omen that none of them had ever witnessed before.
“Hahaha, great! There’s no problem at all with my physical body, and I can fight at full power!” Long Chen laughed uproariously, and in the face of the five of them attacking him, he swung his saber with a single hand.
BOOM! Their five weapons crashed against Long Chen’s saber, unleashing a terrifying explosion. Ripples spread out. The ground exploded and the entire world rocked.
The distant experts were far away and not impacted by these shockwaves, and yet they felt a terror from their souls that made it hard for them to breathe.
“What kind of power is this?!”
Those distant experts were all shocked. Let alone blocking this kind of power, just being close to it would turn them to dust.
“Impossible! How can he be so strong?!” roared the elephant race expert.
His face was pale with disbelief. Long Chen’s power had far surpassed his imagination, and he refused to believe a human could possess such power.
The others were shocked too. They hadn’t expected that just as they unleashed their full power to kill Long Chen in one blow, his power would erupt to such a shocking level. It took the five of them working together to just barely block him.
“Was this really so strong? This is nothing. I’ll show you what true power is!” Long Chen sneered.
BOOM! The five of them were blown back by an irresistible power from Long Chen’s saber.
“Split the Heavens 4!” A huge saber-image tore into the sky, and a terrifying killing intent locked onto the five of them.
Space tore apart, and it was like time was frozen. It was like in that instant, the world was no longer moving. Long Chen used half his immortal platforms’ energy to unleash this attack.
This was a saber that would follow a person to heaven or hell. The five of their expressions changed. The eagle race expert roared furiously, pushing his bloodline power to its peak. The runes around him exploded one by one, and his lance blossomed with blinding light. A three-thousand-meter lance-image shot out.
“Giant Eagle Blood Lance!”
The eagle race expert had actually activated his King item, bringing out its true form and even the strongest attack of his bloodline. He knew Long Chen’s attack was too terrifying to hold back.
The elephant and tiger race experts also unleashed the full power of their King items and bloodlines.
The tiger race expert’s martial weapon was actually a sheath around his claws. It lit up, and a huge claw-image slashed out.
The two Bloodkill Hall’s assassins didn’t dare to tarry. They closed their eyes, and their foreheads suddenly split open. Blood dripped out, forming a strange design. It was like the face of a fiend.
Two three-thousand-meter figures appeared behind them. Then those two figures actually merged.
Once they merged, heaven-shaking killing intent exploded out. It was like this figure was their Killing God. It slashed out a huge attack.
Their four attacks crashed into the blood-red saber-image. When those five attacks collided, the world became silent. After a breath, a fierce explosion erupted.
Light that was more blinding than the sun devoured heaven and earth. Those distant experts were too shocked to even continue fighting.
“Quick, retreat!” Xia Yunfeng shouted, ordering everyone to fall back. If they were struck by this light, then other than the rank eight Celestials, the rest would all be annihilated.
Xia Yunchong also stopped fighting. Using a movement art to slip away, he pulled along two heavily injured Grand Xia’s experts as he fled.
The ancient race, Pill Tower, and Grand Han’s experts also prepared to run when Han Wenjun announced, ”Everyone, there’s no need to panic. I brought my Grand Han’s Ancestral item, the Heaven Fermenting Divine Jar. It can definitely block it.”
Han Wenjun took out a pitch-black jar. Mysterious runes were on it, and it immediately grew in size and enveloped all of them.
This was also an Ancestral item, a treasure that had been passed on within the Grand Han for countless years. In order to avoid any mistakes, they had even brought in this Ancestral item.
Xia Yunchong and the others glared hatefully at them, but they had no choice but to continue fleeing. Escaping that terrifying light was impossible, but they hoped to get far away enough that its power would weaken enough to only injure them instead of killing them.
BOOM!
That light collided into Han Wenjun’s Ancestral item. Divine runes lit up on it, and that terrifying impact only caused it to quiver slightly before it stabilized.
“Stop! Come with me!” Xia Yunchong suddenly shouted and led everyone in the direction behind the Ancestral item. Due to the Ancestral item, a large portion of the light there was blocked, making that the only safe place.
They had only just reached the spot when the light struck them. A maelstrom of broken runes hit them.
This maelstrom easily tore through their armor. It was like millions of tiny blades were cutting their skin.
But they were delighted. Fortunately, the Grand Han’s Ancestral item had blocked a portion of this power, or most of them would have died.
“You want to take advantage of me? Hmph, keep dreaming!” Han Wenjun sneered upon seeing this. He was just about to reduce the Ancestral item’s protective area when a clanking sound rang out. The entire Ancestral item trembled fiercely, causing Han Wenjun’s expression to completely change.
Chapter 1223 Slashed to Death
Long Chen’s attack had forced his five opponents to unleash their strongest attacks. This was a world-shaking exchange, and the immense power blew back all six of them.
Long Chen didn’t know what condition the others were in, but he felt like a hammer had struck him. He almost coughed up blood.
He hadn’t expected the five of them to be so strong. Even the fourth form of Split the Heavens hadn’t managed to kill them.
But unbeknownst to him, the five of them were even more shocked. They felt like they were about to go insane. They were top figures amongst rank eight Celestials, practically unrivaled within their realm. They had never before had to join hands with anyone to fight their enemies.
Now, they had not only joined hands with others, but the five of them had even unleashed their strongest moves, only to violently cough up blood.
The three ancient race experts were a bit better off. After all, they had the bloodline of the Xuan Beasts, giving them powerful physical bodies. But the two Bloodkill Hall’s assassins were almost killed.
They were covered with blood, and their bones were broken. They tumbled back like a mass of pulp.
Long Chen didn’t know about all that. All he knew was that it felt like a mountain was crashing into his chest.
As he flew back, the direction he went was precisely where Han Wenjun was. He saw that huge jar.
He was no longer a novice, and he instantly recognized it to be an Ancestral item. Without saying a word, he took out the black pot and smashed it at the jar.
With an explosive sound, the pot smashed against the jar. Everyone inside felt like they were inside a bell that had been rung with a hammer. That feeling was unendurable.
Those with weaker cultivation bases f
ainted, and some unlucky fellows even directly died.
Those who didn’t faint didn’t feel like it was a blessing. Another smash came, making their heads buzz. They felt like their brains were being turned to mush.
The fierce ringing continued. Han Wenjun only managed to react now, coughing up a mouthful of blood that landed on the Ancestral item.
But by the time he did this, he was shocked to find that that Ancestral item had become incredibly weak. He even sensed waves of terror coming from it.
CRACK!
In front of everyone’s shocked gazes, their Grand Han’s Ancestral item, the Heaven Fermenting Divine Jar, shattered.
Its fragments fell to the ground, revealing a black pot and Long Chen who was covered in sweat.
By now, the maelstrom had already passed. Long Chen looked at the sluggish Han Wenjun. He wiped off some sweat and said, “Although you’re a bunch of brutes, I wouldn’t feel good seeing you die inside a pickling jar. Now I’ve finally managed to break it and save you. There’s no need to thank me, as this was only right of me. Well, goodbye.”
Pow!
After spouting out nonsense, Long Chen viciously slapped the stunned Han Wenjun. He shot back like a shooting star. He was like a bolt of lightning was flying toward the center of the battlefield.
Half of Han Wenjun’s face caved in. His head had shrunk quite a bit, but fortunately, the Grand Han’s men had large heads, so he still had enough.
But Long Chen’s slap was truly vicious. Han Wenjun almost died from it. Without his powerful dragon vein support, he would have died.
“Kill them!” Xia Yunfeng and Xia Yunchong were delighted by Long Chen’s power. He actually managed to destroy an Ancestral item, heavily injure Han Wenjun, and cause all the other experts to feel like their heads were buzzing. This was the best time to kill them, and so all the Grand Xia’s experts charged.
As for Long Chen, he flew in another direction. That was where the five rank eight Celestials were struggling to stand. Long Chen didn’t want to give them any time to breathe.
However, he hadn’t had a choice but to interfere. Han Wenjun’s Ancestral item had been too terrifying. If he hadn’t destroyed it, Han Wenjun might have been able to use it to completely annihilate Xia Yunchong and the others.
So Long Chen broke that pickling jar with the black pot. The other reason for this was to see the power of the black pot.
Long Chen had hoped that the black pot might wake from this. If it did, perhaps he would be able to dominate the lands in the future.
After all, this pot was personally forged by a mysterious ascender, and later, that ascender had even bestowed it with even greater power.
After he had used it on the Blazing Dragon Cauldron, the Blazing Dragon Cauldron had later told him that the pot was a rogue. Each time the pot smashed it, it extracted its core energy. That was why it would have been crippled if Long Chen had continued smashing it on it.
So upon seeing another Ancestral item, Long Chen almost reflexively decided to be a rogue and unleash a torrent of smashes. And as expected, the pot really was badass. Each smash weakened the Ancestral item.
This time, Long Chen didn’t care about the Ancestral item, and his smashes completely destroyed the treasure the Grand Han had spent blood, sweat, and tears on nourishing for hundreds of generations.
“Die!” Long Chen put away the pot and shot toward the two assassins who were covered in blood and trying to recover with Heavenly Dao energy.
BOOM! The two of them hastily blocked Long Chen’s saber, but Long Chen was too powerful, and they didn’t specialize in power. They tumbled back along the ground.
Their bodies hadn’t fully recovered before they were given a new slew of injuries. If they hadn’t worked together, they wouldn’t have even been able to block this attack.
“He’s out of power! Quick, kill him!” cried one of the assassins.
To use the fourth form of Split the Heavens, Long Chen had used up half his energy. Now, he had less than a third of his spiritual yuan. His power had truly dropped.
But even if he had less than a third of his spiritual yuan, he knew that with his 108,000 immortal platforms, that was still double what an ordinary rank eight Celestial possessed.
When he had fought Dan Chu, the reason why he had been able to steal so much spiritual yuan was because alchemists had the most abundant spiritual yuan other than wood cultivators. And yet, even though so much of Dan Chu’s spiritual yuan had been sucked away, it still hadn’t been enough for Long Chen.
Thirty percent of his spiritual yuan was enough for him to kill these exhausted fellows. The Bloodkill Hall assassin was only shouting this in order to get the ancient race experts to come and help.
If the ancient race experts just watched, the two assassins would be killed instantly. That wasn’t good for any of them. If they died, the ancient race experts would also find it difficult to escape from Long Chen.
The ancient race experts disdained working together with the Bloodkill Hall assassins, but they had no other choice right now. Long Chen was too terrifying, and if the two assassins were killed, their hopes of victory would drop. Therefore, they used the little bit of energy they had just recovered to attack Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled slightly. The runes on his boots lit up, and it was like he had teleported. He arrived in front of the two assassins. Their swords stabbed toward him from two different sides.
Although they were enemies, Long Chen had to admit their combination arts were practically flawless. Even in such desperate straits, their attacks weren’t chaotic. They weren’t panicked at all, and their control over their sword, timing, and power was still at their peak.
One sword was aiming for Long Chen’s heart, while the other was aimed at his ribs. It looked like they were launched at the same time, but their timing was different. There was no way to block them at the same time. But if he blocked them separately, it would give them a breather.
Long Chen raised his arm protector to block one sword, while he allowed the other sword to stab through his ribs. That sharp blade contained all the assassin’s energy, and even Long Chen’s body couldn’t block it. It pierced through him.
“No!” The assassin whose blade was blocked let out a startled cry.
As for the other assassin, at the same time as his sword stabbed through Long Chen’s body, Long Chen’s saber slashed through his waist.
Last time, he had also been cut at the waist by Long Chen, but he hadn’t died. This time, he wasn’t so lucky. The power contained in Long Chen’s saber directly blew him apart.
One of the twin assassins had fallen, causing the other assassin’s eyes to almost tear out of their sockets. He went insane, roaring furiously.
Long Chen pulled out the sword stabbing through him, causing his blood to spurt. He icily looked at the other assassin and shook his head. “Aren’t you the Killing God’s servants? Didn’t you say death is returning to the embrace of the Killing God? I sent your brother to see your Killing God, so shouldn’t you thank me? Why get angry?”
Long Chen’s voice was full of disdain. When they killed others, they were merciless and vicious, treating their lives as nothing more than blades of grass. But now he became so fierce upon having his brother killed? Since he knew pain, why could he be so indifferent when it came to killing others?
“DIE!” The remaining assassin attacked Long Chen like he was insane. He had already lost the calm of an assassin. Losing his twin brother made him crazy.
“Attack together!” The three ancient race experts’ hearts turned cold upon seeing Long Chen kill one of the assassins. But it had happened too quickly for them to stop him. Now seeing the other assassin enter a crazy state, they launched all-out attacks.
They knew if they didn’t, Long Chen would quickly send the remaining assassin to the Killing God, and then it would probably be their turn. Right now, each bit of combat power was incredibly precious.
“Raging Flames Devour the Hea
vens!”
Once the four of them charged at him together, Long Chen suddenly shouted. Violet flames exploded out of him, their heat incinerating the world.
Chapter 1224 Exchanging Weapons of War for Gifts of Jade and Silk?
“Not good!” The three ancient race experts’ expressions changed. When those violet flames enveloped them, they were shocked to find they were unable to resist at all.
The instant the flames touched them, their skin turned black. The eagle race expert’s feathers were all incinerated, and his wings became charred.
Those feathers were so powerful that even blades couldn’t break them. They were even stronger than Treasure items. But they weren’t able to stop the Soul Devouring Violet Flame.
This was just the start. The flame energy continued to wreak havoc over their bodies, trying to turn them to ash.
If they were in their peak state, they would have been able to use their powerful spiritual yuan to resist, but now, they didn’t have the energy to block these terrifying flames. Once their last dregs of energy were used up, they would be instantly incinerated.
“Retreat!”
The three of them fell back at the same time. These terrifying flames weren’t something they could handle.
Just as they retreated, Long Chen’s saber slashed through the assassin who was also wrapped in flames. Another Bloodkill Hall assassin died.
Long Chen kept their swords. They were incomparably sharp King items.
Not only had Long Chen gained two powerful King items, but he had also gained two rank eight Heavenly Dao runes. Adding on the slain Dan Chu, Li Wanji, and Han Bijun, he had a total of five rank eight Heavenly Dao Fruits.
After that, he shot after the three of them. He also expanded the domain of his flames.
The three of them had just managed to reach the edge of this flame domain when it explosively grew, once more trapping them. Their expressions turned green.
At this moment, Long Chen appeared in front of him, his saber slashing down.
The three of them were horrified. Suddenly, the elephant race expert took out a white, crescent object.
