“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples were filled with confidence seeing Guo Ran take care of so many of the giant devils and the Dragonblood Legion’s sharp killing movements. Adding on Long Chen’s encouragement, they charged toward Liu Ruyan’s side.
Here, Liu Ruyan was in control. Her leaves were constantly slaying the giant devils. Having the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples work with her was the best tactic.
“Long Chen, look! The Devil Slaughter Rankings have completely transformed!” shouted Tang Wan-er.
“Guo Ran’s rank four, but other than Xia Chen, Hu Feng, and Guo Ran, the other top ten have all been replaced by new names,” said Gu Yang.
The Devil Slaughter Rankings revealed that rank one, Xia Chen, had accumulated one billion four hundred million kill points. Hu Feng was at nine hundred million. The third was a new name, an expert from the Central Xuan Region with four hundred million kill points. Guo Ran was close behind him with three hundred and eighty million kill points.
The previously calm Devil Slaughter Rankings were thrown into chaos. All the top five thousand spots were crazily flashing as new experts entered the mix.
“The real experts have finally started to appear.”
Everyone recognized that the appearance of the giant devils meant that the real start of the battle had come. The true experts that had been lying in wait were waiting precisely for this moment.
“Di Xin has appeared!”
Tang Wan-er let out a startled cry. Di Xin had appeared at rank seventeen.
“That bastard really has a tough life. He actually didn’t die.” Long Chen coldly smiled as he looked at Di Xin’s name.
…
In a deep abyss of the Central Xuan region, an endless raging sea of black water was constantly crushing the giant devils. The water was like ink, and it spread at a rapid rate. The amount of water was shocking.
“Long Chen, I’ve fully absorbed the water inheritance. This time, I’ll make you die a miserable death. If you have the guts, then just come at me. Let’s see just who takes first place!”
Within the center of the sea, Di Xin’s originally handsome face was twisted into a sinister expression.
…
“Heroes of the Southern Xuan Region, thank you for your support before. Leave this battlefield to my Illusive Music Immortal Palace.”
In the abyss of the Southern Xuan Region, hundreds of thousands of experts retreated, replaced with thousands of women. They descended from the sky like transcendent fairies.
Zither music rang out, but it no longer sounded beautiful. Instead, it was filled with killing intent.
Sound waves spread, and any giant devils touched by them would stiffen. Their bodies would then rapidly inflate and finally explode.
A jade hand lightly touched a string of the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither. A giant ripple spread and covered half the battlefield, killing countless giant devils. The entire battlefield became empty.
Zi Yan stood in the sky, looking into the distance. She sighed.
“Long Chen, is this our fate?”
…
In the Northern Xuan Region, ice covered the battlefield, and countless devil creatures were slain. The human experts stared in shock at the distant white-robed woman.
Ye Zhiqiu was like an ice goddess, sacred and noble. Beneath her feet, a ripple of ice spread, turning the charging devil creatures into beautiful ice crystals that filled the air.
As for the giant devils, they charged at her wave after wave. As a result, wave after wave became encased in ice and exploded.
…
“Ten years I wandered with my bow, my arrows causing heaven and earth to shake. The nine heavens, ten lands, and all the universe will revolve around me. Only I, Mo Nian, will rise to glory. Cough, it seems after not showing off for so many years, my skill in it has regressed. My beautiful lines no longer have the same flavor as back then.”
Mo Nian stood atop a tall rock. A hood covered the majority of his face. He wanted to shout loudly, but for some reason, he found that he couldn’t. His voice was drowned out by the roaring of devil creatures and the sounds of slaughter.
“Fuck, this is my first failure in showing off. It seems I’ve been away from the rest of the world for too long. People have already forgotten my legend. Time to show myself off.”
Mo Nian couldn’t help but feel irritated upon seeing that his actions couldn’t draw any attention from the other experts.
A five-colored bow appeared in his hand. He pulled the string with his right hand, and it instantly arced perfectly. The world began to shake.
“What’s going on?!”
As Mo Nian pulled his bowstring, five-colored light soared into the sky, causing resonance with heaven and earth. Astral winds surged out of him. It was like a giant five-colored dragon was enveloping him. He instantly drew the attention of all the experts.
Suddenly, a five-colored arrow flew out of his bow. Its resplendent divine light looked like all the stars of the sky were shooting out with it.
BOOM!
The arrow exploded in the center of the devil creatures, its light devouring the majority of the battlefield. Anything touched by its divine light was turned to nothingness, even the giant devils.
“Sorry, I’ll have to borrow this place from everyone. It took me a long time to find a place with such nice feng shui. To avoid any misunderstandings, I’ll ask everyone to retreat to a safe distance.”
With one arrow, Mo Nian shook the heavens, the earth, and all the experts present. They immediately retreated, some people going to find another region to fight.
“Long Chen, I’ve shown myself. What are you still waiting for? After so many years apart, are you no longer able to keep up with me?”
Everyone’s expressions satisfied Mo Nian greatly. He looked at his jade plate with a smile.
…
Di Xin, Zi Yan, Ye Zhiqiu, Mo Nian, and other names finally appeared on the Devil Slaughter Rankings. Long Chen took a deep breath. Since they had all come out, he couldn’t be too lazy.
“Let’s go! We’ll give a greeting to our old friends.” Long Chen waved his hand, moving toward the front of the battlefield with Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, Yue Zifeng, and the others.
Chapter 1693 Everyone Coming Out to Fight
Tang Wan-er and the others had been waiting for a long time. Now, their chance had come, and they charged out individually into the sea of devil creatures.
Wherever Tang Wan-er went, space would twist ever so slightly. Any devil creatures close to her would be torn to shreds by invisible blades. That sight was strange and terrifying.
Tang Wan-er’s wind blades had already reached a practically heaven-defying level, a realm where movement turned into stillness. She killed her enemies without them even sensing her attack.
Cloud transformed into the true body of a Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. Rainbow runes revolved around her. She opened her mouth, and a black line of light shot through the battlefield. Anything touched by the black light turned into nothingness.
This was a divine ability of the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. Anything touched by the black light would vanish.
Meng Qi didn’t participate, staying by Long Chen. Chu Yao smiled and said,” Big sister, go ahead and attack. I’ll make sure to look after everyone.”
Chu Yao knew that in any large battle, there had to be someone controlling the overall battlefield. Although the Dragonblood Legion didn’t need someone to look after them, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples were still in danger in a fight of this level.
Those disciples were the pillars Long Chen had left to uphold the Xuantian Dao Sect. He wanted as many of them to return alive as possible. That was why there needed to be someone staying back to help them.
Meng Qi shook her head. “You should go instead. These giant devils’ spiritual fluctuations are strange. I can’t ki
ll them all instantly like before unless I waste a huge amount of my soul energy. It would be better for you to go attack. Your wood attacks cost less and are so sharp. Plus, with you and Ruyan working together, it will be easier for you to charge onto the Devil Slaughter Rankings. In the face of these strange devil creatures, my own killing power is reduced, but causing a few of them to lose their minds temporarily is still easily done. I’m the one most suitable for controlling the entire battlefield.”
When Meng Qi put it like this, Chu Yao looked at Long Chen. Long Chen smiled. “Let’s just do as Meng Qi says.”
Chu Yao nodded and chose a region for herself. Wooden stakes appeared out of the ground like sharp nails. The devil creatures in her region ran into calamity.
“This seems a bit… terrifying. I feel a cold breeze down below.” Seeing that the trap Chu Yao had arranged was destroying the lower bodies of the devil creatures, Gu Yang shivered.
“It really does look a bit painful. Let’s just not look,” said Long Chen.
The earth birthed wood. Having her wooden stakes grow out of the ground was the most energy-efficient way for Chu Yao to attack. That way, she could draw out spiritual qi from the earth to replenish her spiritual yuan. She was practically not using any energy to kill them at all. However, a beautiful woman constantly causing the lower bodies of the devil creatures to explode was a bit difficult to watch.
Gu Yang, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan also charged into the fray. Gu Yang charged through the devil creatures with a spear, while Li Qi and Song Mingyuan simply summoned their Spirits of the Earth, which were those earthen giants they had summoned at the start. They pummeled the devil creatures.
Each step of the earth giants caused a shockwave to spread through the ground. Those shockwaves blew apart the devil creatures.
“Zifeng, there’s no need for you to attack. Just preserve your energy. Actually, if you can project the Devil Slaughter Rankings into the sky, it will be easier for us to keep track of what’s going on,” said Long Chen.
Yue Zifeng’s attacks were incomparably sharp. However, they were like a torrential storm. His attacks were powerful, but he couldn’t repeatedly use his strongest attacks over a long period. He was unsuitable for this kind of battle.
“Alright.” Yue Zifeng took out his jade plate and sent his Spiritual Strength into it. A projection of it appeared in the sky with the current rankings.
First place was still Xia Chen, with two billion kill points. As for second place, it was no longer Hu Feng, but Di Xin. He was just one hundred million kill points off of catching up to Xia Chen.
“It seems that the water inheritance has been fully refined by Di Xin, allowing his power to grow. Hmph, such a good treasure was wasted on a pig like him.” Long Chen spat on the ground. Just thinking of Di Xin disgusted him.
Hu Feng was third, while fourth was Guo Ran. Fifth was actually Zi Yan. Long Chen knew that Zi Yan’s power, when combined with the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither, was absolutely terrifying. Her musical attacks could kill devil creatures in huge numbers.
Sixth was a foreign name, someone who came from the Central Xuan Region. Their name was Qin Xiaoxi, a woman’s name.
When he saw seventh place, Long Chen was startled. At some point, the Pill Fairy’s name had silently risen through the rankings.
“I suppose there’s nothing curious about it. Pill Valley definitely wouldn’t give up this chance to show their power. If they didn’t get a good ranking, they would lose face,” thought Long Chen.
He had clashed with Pill Valley several times now. Each time, he had made them leave after a crushing defeat, which had caused their prestige to drop. Pill Valley needed to win back that face. It seemed that this heavy mission had been entrusted to the Pill Fairy.
Eighth place was another expert from the Central Xuan Region that he didn’t recognize. Ninth was Ye Zhiqiu. She was extremely powerful to actually be ninth.
When he saw tenth place, Long Chen smiled. That fellow Mo Nian had managed to kill his way there.
Long Chen knew that Mo Nian didn’t specialize in huge area attacks. However, he still managed to get into the top ten. He had to be working hard.
With Chu Yao joining in, combined with Liu Ruyan’s kills going to her, her ranking was rapidly rising.
Li Qi and Song Mingyuan had joined in a bit late, so for now, they couldn’t get into the top five hundred. As for Gu Yang, Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to look. Who knew what kind of last place ranking he was fighting for right now?
“Boss, have we gone above and beyond for the mission this time?” shouted Guo Ran as he constantly threw his bombs.
It went without saying that Guo Ran was truly skilled when it came to forging. He had some kind of magnetic item on him that would pull the sharp fragments back to him after they exploded. He then added them into new bombs and tossed them out again.
“You’re thinking too simply. Just wait, in a bit, you’ll all be knocked down.” Long Chen shook his head and didn’t pay any more attention to Guo Ran. He flew off toward the source of the Devil Abyss’s eruption.
The battlefield was constantly being forced to expand by the spatial pressure here. Before, the Dragonblood Legion had been able to hold back the flood. However, now, as the battlefield grew larger, the Dragonblood Legion had no choice but to retreat into the channel.
One reason was because they couldn’t allow the devil creatures to attack the wall behind them, while another was to protect the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples. They had to make their preparations for a long-term battle. No one knew when this battle would end.
Now Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and the others had joined the battle. They were all handling their own regions, unleashing huge area attacks that blocked the majority of the devil creatures. As they were controlling the tempo of the battle, there was no need for Long Chen to worry about them yet.
As for the Dragonblood warriors, this kind of battle wasn’t anything to them considering their experience. It was also unable to threaten their lives.
Without having to worry about this, Long Chen shot past the battlefield, diving past the sea of devil creatures to where they were coming from.
Li Tianxuan had given Long Chen a detailed explanation of the structure of the Devil Abyss. There was a giant spatial node in the Martial Heaven Continent’s underground.
This was a place where the Martial Heaven Continent met a devil world. The devil creatures were coming from the devil world, but thanks to the restrictions of the formations left behind by ancient almighty experts, they could only invade through five spatial openings.
This way, a giant flood was split in five. Rumor was that the Central Xuan Region was there to draw the focus of the devil creatures, so forty percent of the devil creatures were drawn there. The rest were evenly divided between the east, west, north, and south.
The formations gave the Martial Heaven Continent’s experts breathing room. They wouldn’t be immediately overwhelmed by a huge flood of devil creatures. If it weren’t for the formations left behind by those ancient experts, the Martial Heaven Continent might have been devastated by the devil creatures already.
Here, Long Chen could see a giant spatial opening. There were countless runes here, and it was like a giant whirlpool. The devil creatures were coming out of the center of that whirlpool.
When Long Chen arrived, countless devil creatures attacked him, but he merely snorted and summoned golden flames around him. Any devil creatures that entered his flame domain would be turned to ash in less than a breath’s time.
That surprised him a bit. He hadn’t expected the Heaven Incinerating Flame to be so effective against these devil creatures. It had to be known that they were no weaker than ordinary rank nine Celestials, but they weren’t able to block the Heaven Incinerating Flame. They had to be weak to it.
Long Chen ignored the devil creatures and continued examining the whirlpool. He stretched his divine sense inside.
H
is divine sense passed the whirlpool. Inside was a giant spatial channel tens of thousands of miles wide. When he saw the situation in the other world, he couldn’t help gasping.
“Damn, there are actually this many more?!”
At the end of the channel, he saw countless devil creatures. Furthermore, there were even more varieties of them.
He saw birds, apes, humanoid creatures with snake tails, etc. He also saw a golden sea up in the air.
That golden sea was a giant pack of inch-long mosquitoes. They looked like they had been made of gold, except their mouth was pitch-black.
“Fuck, these are the legendary Shadowless Golden Mosquitoes…”
Long Chen jumped. Legend was that these creatures could activate their golden runes to fade into the air and vanish from sight. Their mouths were extremely sharp, and once they stabbed a person’s flesh, they would instantly poison them. A person’s body would instantly rot, with not even their bones surviving. If their Yuan Spirit didn’t run fast enough, it would also die. They were renowned creatures.
These devil creatures were attacking the channel with all their might. It seemed they were trying to make it larger, or break it down so that they could all enter at once. The giant devils that had entered the channel so far were nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to this giant army.
“I can’t just wait. I need to take some initiative.”
Long Chen summoned a golden flame sphere. It instantly grew to thousands of meters until it was like a blazing star. He sent it into the channel.
It was like a shooting star as it went against the flow of the devil creatures. Any devil creatures in its path were killed. It shot straight to the end of the channel.
The devil creatures were in the midst of attacking the channel when this sphere flew out of it, stunning them. It seemed they didn’t sense any danger from the sphere.
“Explode!”
