That bone claw didn’t release any aura. Adding on his great speed, it was easy for others to miss it.
Li Tianxuan and the patriarch didn’t do anything, but Long Chen’s divine ring manifested and five stars appeared in his eyes. As a pillar of light soared into the sky, he raised his right hand.
“What is he doing? Is he really trying to fight a Netherpassage expert?”
These experts from the various large powers of the continent were filled with shock. Had Long Chen gone mad? He would be blown to pieces instantly.
Seeing Long Chen’s aura rise, Di Long sneered. As long as he killed Long Chen in one attack, his humiliation would be wiped away.
However, just as his hand was about to reach Long Chen, a light barrier appeared in front of him.
“It’s the Xuantian Tower!”
Startled cries rang out. The Xuantian Tower was shining brightly. This barrier was clearly placed by it.
“You’re looking down on me! Die!” Di Long smiled. The bone claw in his hand suddenly appeared, whistling forward. He had long since anticipated the Xuantian Tower’s defense.
“A true dragon bone claw!”
People finally saw that bone claw. Rumor was that it belonged to a true dragon from ancient times. It possessed dragon might. It required the bloodline of the true dragon race in order to use.
This true dragon bone claw was not a divine item, but its power was even more terrifying than a divine item. It was a priceless treasure.
It tore through the Xuantian Tower’s barrier. The disciples’ hearts rose into their throats.
However, just as Di Long thought that he could kill Long Chen in one attack, his expression changed. His bone claw suddenly felt like it had crashed into something solid, something impossible to move. His hand hurt from the impact, and he was unable to push any further.
There were only three inches between the bone claw and Long Chen’s chest. However, there was no way to shorten the distance any further.
Just at that moment, Long Chen, whose right hand had been raised in anticipation, struck, slapping Di Long across his shocked face.
The immense power caused a sonic boom. A visible ripple spread on Di Long’s face when Long Chen struck it. Di Long was sent flying back like a shooting star, crashing into a giant mountain hundreds of miles away.
The mountain collapsed, and broken bones flew out in every direction. All the experts were filled with disbelief.
Following the first mountain, the earth bulged. An entire mountain range expanded and then crumbled.
Those experts were gobsmacked. Just how much power had Long Chen used? He had not only sent Di Long flying, but even once Di Long crashed into the ground, he was still unable to steady himself and continued to fly through the ground. Was this a level of power a human could possess?
Let alone the others, even the giant from the Xuan Beasts was filled with disbelief.
The huge mountain range continued to surge. Thousands of miles away, it suddenly exploded, and a figure flew out of the ground.
Di Long’s face was covered in blood, and half of it had caved in, revealing bones. He appeared frighteningly sinister.
People couldn’t help being shocked. How could a Netherpassage expert be slapped into this state? Just how much power had Long Chen used? Di Long was no ordinary Netherpassage expert.
Well, it had to be said that Di Long was also unlucky. Long Chen had been holding back his anger for a long time now. Upon seeing Di Long, that suppressed anger was all released through this slap.
This slap had not been purely used for humiliation. After all, this was an attack enforced with his divine ring and Five Star Battle Armor. It could be said that this was the most powerful slap he had ever done.
“Your skin is really thick. In all my years, I’ve seen many things, but I have to give you first place when it comes to the thickness of the skin.” Long Chen sighed and swung his arm a few times, flinging off the blood. He gave Di Long a big thumbs-up.
The blood on his hand was not Di Long’s but his own. A Netherpassage expert was truly powerful. Just the counterforce was enough to cause his skin to split open. The Netherpassage realm was still an existence he could only look up to.
This praise of Long Chen’s was clearly an insult. Di Long roared. Black and white lines surged around his body, and the world began to tremble. Even the stars in the sky were quivering. He had actually activated his life and death energy, the true power of Netherpassage experts. With a flash, he vanished from his original location.
Di Long’s body had just vanished when a golden ray of light shot through the air.
Shockingly, blood mist appeared there. Following that, space twisted and Di Long reappeared.
Di Long now had a large hole in his chest. It was possible to see the scenery behind him through that hole.
That bloody hole still had some golden light in it that was invading the rest of his body. Di Long looked down at the hole in his chest then to the Xuantian Tower in disbelief.
Countless runes had condensed within the Xuantian Dao Sect, forming a giant tower. The Xuantian Tower itself was shining brightly and slowly revolving with a shocking aura.
“It seems you were in too much of a rush to learn the real reason why the Corrupt path retreated. Don’t you think that was stupid? Or is it that the Corrupt path had no intention of telling you the true reason?” Long Chen smiled coldly at Di Long and the others under the illumination of the Xuantian Tower.
Chapter 1715 Wilde Wakes Up
“Isn’t the Xuantian Tower supposed to be strongest in terms of defense but weak offensively? How can it have such power?”
All the experts’ expressions changed. They looked at that tower soaring in the sky and emitting waves of divine pressure.
The Xuantian Tower’s power stunned all of them. That power made even Netherpassage experts quiver.
They didn’t know that the Xuantian Tower’s offensive weakness had been made up for by the formation. The current Xuantian Tower was in full possession of both offense and defense.
“That first attack was a warning. Di Long, if you dare to take another step, I will make sure that the Martial Heaven Continent no longer has a Di Long,” said Long Chen. Di Long’s aura was still rising, and the bone claw in his hand was also starting to emit a powerful divine pressure.
“Long Chen, you’re too arrogant! Who do you think you’re trying to scare?!” Di Long sneered. Just now, he had been injured because of overconfidence. However, he wasn’t afraid. He wanted to activate the bone claw to test the Xuantian Tower’s power.
Long Chen let out a smile full of contempt. “Then you can try it.”
The reason he dared to ignore Di Long’s power and even slap him was because of the Xuantian Tower.
The Xuantian Tower was just an item-spirit, but even it was angry now. It also wanted to make a show of its power. Since this many people had come to destroy the Xuantian Dao Sect, it would not accept such bullying.
The Xuantian Tower was the personal weapon of the first-generation Xuan Master, the founder of the Xuantian Dao Sect. It had personally witnessed the rise and fall of the sect. However, while there had been countless small fights, there had never been this many experts at its doors.
So the Xuantian Tower had given Long Chen a message. There was no need to be afraid because it was ready to kill as well. If they were obstructed at such a time, it would affect their future karmic luck. They couldn’t turn cowardly now. That was why Long Chen dared to give his strongest and most satisfying slap in all of history.
The rise of an expert was never the result of praying. If you wanted to get stronger, you had to advance over the corpses of countless other experts. There was no other path. The current Xuantian Dao Sect could not retreat.
“Hmph, little brat, you’re so arrogant? Then let’s see if you can still be so arrogant once I destroy your Xuantian Dao Sect!”
Surprisingly, the expert from the Xuan Beasts opened his mouth. H
is voice wasn’t loud, but it resounded like divine lightning.
“If you want to brag so much, then there’s no need to waste words. We can directly start fighting.”
Evilmoon appeared in Long Chen’s hand. He pointed it at the Xuan Beast expert, his sharp aura slowly rising. In the face of a twelfth rank Xuan Beast, he was filled with battle intent.
When it came to other Netherpassage experts, Long Chen might not have the power to fight them, but the Xuan Beasts did not cultivate life and death energy. They only cultivated their power and divine abilities. As for this expert, he was clearly a power-type fighter. Long Chen wanted to see just how powerful twelfth rank Xuan Beasts were.
“Courting death!”
That Xuan Beast sneered, but just as he took a step forward, a furious roar rang out, shaking the sky.
A terrifying aura exploded like a wild divine beast had been awoken. Even the Netherpassage experts got goosebumps.
A huge figure suddenly flew out of the Xuantian Tower. It charged directly at the Xuan Beast expert.
That figure shocked everyone. It was even larger than the Xuan Beast expert. It was a person covered in divine runes, with two horns on their head and a completely wild aura that surged out of control. That was not the aura of a human.
“Who are you?!”
The Xuan Beast expert snorted and smashed a fist at the incoming figure. He was a Xuan Beast, and he instantly recognized that this person was not human. Furthermore, this incoming person’s aura made him a bit afraid. That was a fear that came from the depths of his soul.
“Wilde!”
Long Chen and the others were startled. That giant figure charging over was Wilde!
Wilde’s eyes were scarlet as if he had gone insane. His body might be huge, but he also looked so thin that he wasn’t much more than a skeleton. The current Wilde gave off a very foreign feeling to them.
Long Chen was about to fly over to help Wilde against the Xuan Beast expert. But just at that moment, Wilde let out an angry roar.
“I want meat!”
In front of everyone’s dumbfounded eyes, Wilde grabbed onto the Xuan Beast expert’s arm.
As for the Xuan Beast expert, he was stunned to find that his fist only caused an explosive sound upon landing on Wilde’s chest. The sight of Wilde exploding that he had expected didn’t appear. In fact, he didn’t seem injured at all.
Having grabbed the Xuan Beast expert’s arm, Wilde refused to let go. No matter how the Xuan Beast tried to fling him off, he failed.
Then, under everyone’s dumbfounded eyes, Wilde opened his mouth and took a big bite into the Xuan Beast expert’s shoulder.
“AHHH!”
The Xuan Beast expert let out a miserable howl. A large hunk of his flesh was bitten off by Wilde.
People’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was a twelfth rank Xuan Beast. His body was comparable to divine items, but Wilde was actually able to tear out a piece of his flesh.
What gave them a chill though was that Wilde swallowed that hunk of flesh immediately and then took another bite.
Another piece of his flesh was torn away. The Xuan Beast expert roared and crazily battered Wilde with his other fist.
However, Wilde simply used one arm to protect his head as he continued biting.
BOOM!
Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out and Wilde was blown away. When they looked at the Xuan Beast expert, they saw that one of his arms had vanished. His shoulder was a mass of pulp.
In the distance, Wilde was holding a giant arm one hundred meters long. He was crazily eating it.
Wilde’s mouth seemed to have some kind of spatial power to it. He finished eating the whole arm in just a few breaths’ time.
Both friend and foe looked at Wilde in stunned silence.
After devouring the arm, Wilde’s withered body plumped up a bit. His eyes shone as he looked at the Xuan Beast expert. With a roar, he charged over again.
That Xuan Beast expert had just used a secret art to restore his arm when Wilde charged over again. Suddenly, a golden light shot out of the Xuan Beast expert’s forehead.
The golden light was like a celestial sword slashing down. It was one of his powerful divine abilities.
“Split the Heavens 6!”
Long Chen immediately slashed Evilmoon at the golden light.
His divine ability was blown apart by Long Chen’s saber. Divine light filled the air.
The experts present couldn’t help being moved. Long Chen’s saber hadn’t just been powerful, but his control was so great. Although he had attacked second, his attack landed first, and with shocking precision at that. It struck right where the Xuan Beast expert’s attack was weakest. It even stunned the old monsters that had lived for countless years.
They finally realized that Long Chen hadn’t climbed to his current height due to luck. This one attack showed them that Long Chen was a true expert.
“AHH!”
The Xuan Beast expert had no time to attack again after his attack was broken by Long Chen. He suddenly let out a heaven-shaking howl.
When the golden light faded, people finally saw a scene that made them quiver.
Wilde was holding the Xuan Beast expert’s leg and crazily biting it, like a hamster that had been starved for hundreds of years and had finally found corn.
The Xuan Beast expert was attacking Wilde, but this position made it so he was unable to use his full power. Furthermore, the immense pain from his leg was also an issue.
A tempest of punches rained down on Wilde’s back, but it was like beating a drum. The explosive sounds shook the air.
Suddenly, Wilde was sent flying by one of the punches. He landed in the distance, raising a cloud of smoke.
“Heavens, this is too vicious!”
All the experts that had come with the Xuan Beast expert felt icy-cold sweat on their backs.
The Xuan Beast expert’s leg had vanished. Fresh blood was still spurting out of the wound.
In the distance, Wilde was holding a mountain-sized leg covered in black fur. He was devouring it quickly, and in just a few seconds, it was fully consumed.
Wilde was practically a man-eating monster. Even a twelfth rank Xuan Beast was eaten by him. Was there anyone more savage than him?
He ate his opponent alive. This scene was barely endurable to the spectators.
“Die!”
Having had his arm and leg eaten, the Xuan Beast expert was infuriated. His body suddenly grew larger, and he transformed into a black gorilla tens of thousands of meters tall.
“The Explosive Blood Heaven Piercing Gorilla race!”
Startled cries rang out as they recognized this Xuan Beast expert’s true form. It was a very terrifying race amongst the Xuan Beasts.
They had berserk blood flowing within their veins. Once it was activated, their power grew explosively. They also had innate divine abilities that were said to be able to destroy heaven and earth. Even divine items could be suppressed by them.
This Xuan Beast expert was completely infuriated and almost went crazy. He was a grand twelfth rank Xuan Beast, but he had actually been eaten. This kind of humiliation was even worse than Long Chen’s slapping of Di Long.
He roared, and following his roar, the world shuddered. A fist as large as a mountain smashed toward Wilde.
BOOM!
The Xuantian Tower activated, unleashing a golden shield that blocked the punch. Golden light flowed, and Wilde was pulled back.
“Attack together to destroy the Xuantian Dao Sect!”
Suddenly, Di Long roared. His bone claw lit up, and he charged forward, taking advantage of when the Xuantian Tower was blocking the Xuan Beast expert.
“Interesting. I want to see who has such guts.”
Suddenly, a woman’s icy voice rang out. Di Long and the others’ bodies stiffened. They looked up in the sky.
Chapter 1716 Original Devil Race, Exposed
“Alliance head!”
Up
on seeing that figure, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s experts cried out excitedly. That woman was Qu Jianying.
Qu Jianying was standing in the sky, looking coldly at the experts surrounding the Xuantian Dao Sect.
“I, Qu Jianying, have not yet died, and you are not able to threaten the Xuantian Dao Sect. If you really feel so bored, then I don’t mind immediately activating the Martial Heaven Order so we can have a decisive fight. What do you say?” Qu Jianying’s expression was dark, and she was overflowing with killing intent. Her words conveyed her fury.
This time, Long Chen had taken first place on the Devil Slaughter Rankings. That had greatly excited Qu Jianying. The glory that the Martial Heaven Alliance had not dared to hope for had become reality under her command.
She had just been preparing to gather the entire Martial Heaven Alliance and have a celebration, taking advantage of this opportunity to raise the alliance’s morale and unity. Hopefully, that would eliminate all the unsavory rumors.
However, she quickly received word that the Xuantian Dao Sect had been surrounded. Long Chen had only just taken first place when Pill Valley, the ancient races, the Xuan Beasts, the ancient family alliance, and many other powers had gone to the Xuantian Dao Sect, saying that they would destroy it. How could Qu Jianying not be infuriated?
She had been preparing for a celebration, so if Long Chen was killed by them, it would be a clear slap in her face.
Even in the face of the likes of Yu Xiaoyun, Di Long, and the other experts, she could not contain her fury despite her best efforts. All those familiar with Qu Jianying knew that she was prepared to launch a war.
Hearing her mention the Martial Heaven Order, Yu Xiaoyun, Di Long, and the others’ expressions changed. The Martial Heaven Order was the highest order of the Martial Heaven Alliance. Once activated, all sects belonging to the Martial Heaven Alliance had to instantly gather for a life and death battle. It was an order to be used only when a great calamity was about to befall the Martial Heaven Continent.
“Qu Jianying, I don’t believe you would dare to do so. You know the consequences of activating the Martial Heaven Order!” shouted Yu Xiaoyun.
