Suddenly, a pair of lightning wings appeared on Long Chen’s back. They were exceptionally bright and tore through the air.
“Die!” Long Chen suddenly flew forward.
“Attack together! This lightning sea will only disappear once Long Chen is dead!” shouted Huo Lieyun. He was the first to attack Long Chen.
As a result, Huo Lieyun was sent flying by Long Chen’s saber. At the same time, the huge lightning wings on Long Chen’s back slammed down.
Huo Lieyun coughed up a mouthful of blood. The flame giant he had summoned was cracked, almost shattering.
“The Sundering Lightning Heavenly Wings are as powerful as expected.” Long Chen was delighted. Perhaps this paragon art could only unleash its full potential in this lightning field.
Just at this moment, True Immortal Jiaoqi and Xie Luo came charging over. However, Long Chen’s wings shook, and he vanished. When he reappeared, he was already amongst the group of Life Star Empyreans.
Heavenly saber-images soared out of Evilmoon. At the same time, his lightning wings hacked up and down, forming a ring of death.
Those Life Star Empyreans were unable to receive a single blow from him. As a result, each of Long Chen’s attacks killed someone.
“Heavens, Long Chen is heaven-defying! Just how terrifying is this paragon art?!” The neutral camp’s experts were standing outside the sea of lightning. Their voices shuddered as they witnessed this terrifying sight of Long Chen slaughtering the Life Star Empyreans.
The lightning drakes, the Sundering Lightning Heavenly Wings, and Evilmoon were creating a song of death. That song sounded like exploding flesh, and it was hair-raising.
“Long Chen’s invincible! On his own, he’s actually able to stop this army. Even without the Dragonblood Legion and the Martial Heaven Alliance, he’d be able to beat all these experts.”
Hu Feng, who was staring closely at the seemingly undefeatable Long Chen, shook his head. “No matter how strong a person is, they still have a limit. A powerful move comes with a large price. Long Chen might look invincible now, but it doesn’t mean he can stay in that state forever. He’s burning up energy as he fights, and he can’t last long. Furthermore, there are three thousand Life Star Empyreans. It’s difficult to say how long he’ll be able to hold out for.”
Long Chen was unleashing a barrage of attacks. Over a hundred Life Star Empyreans had been slain by him.
However, after all, they were Life Star Empyreans. Each of them was an amazing genius who had given up their future prospects for their current power. It was all to kill him.
Their power might not be a perfect match for Netherpassage experts, but they were only slightly weaker.
Long Chen’s power was truly shocking, but he was using up a huge amount of energy.
“Don’t be afraid. This is just his final burst of energy! Spread out and exhaust him!” shouted Huo Lieyun. He resummoned his flame giant and charged back into the battlefield.
“You’re right, I can’t last that long. At most, I can only keep it up to the sixth month of next year,” said Long Chen as he attacked. The Sundering Lightning Heavenly Wings weren’t just useful for killing, they were also a movement paragon art.
Within this lightning field, he could move freely. Those Life Star Empyreans listened to Huo Lieyun’s orders and spread out, as a result, killing them became much easier. He no longer needed to worry about being attacked by others when he struck, resulting in his efficiency going up.
“Gather together and protect each other!” Huo Lieyun suddenly noticed that spreading out was a mistake. They had to stick together to make Long Chen worried about facing counterattacks. There might even be a chance to injure him.
Those Life Star Empyreans hastily re-gathered. However, some of the more isolated ones were still picked off before they could gather.
After the experts gathered, they concentrated their attacks. As a result, Long Chen was forced to retreat. Seeing that, the Life Star Empyreans were delighted. They had finally found a way to counter Long Chen. This way, he wouldn’t be able to approach them, and they could exhaust him.
Long Chen tried charging over three times in a row, but before he could even launch an attack, they would launch a collective strike, forcing him away and making him cough up blood.
Long Chen had killed over three hundred Life Star Empyreans, but that was only a tenth of their numbers. Now that they were gathered together, even someone like Yan Nantian would have to treat them seriously.
“Kill him just like this!” shouted Huo Lieyun upon seeing that this was effective. Now that everyone was attacking together, if they could land a good blow, there might even be a chance of killing Long Chen.
“Hmph, I refuse to believe that someone can block me!” shouted Long Chen. He charged back at the army of Life Star Empyreans.
“Die!” The Life Star Empyreans were delighted. Raising their divine items, they activated their power. The energy of over two thousand experts was gathered. This power was enough to annihilate anyone, and Long Chen was no exception.
BOOM!
Their attacks gathered and blasted forth, and Long Chen was instantly devoured by that wave of divine power.
“It’s over!” The neutral camp’s experts sighed. No one would be able to survive such concentrated attacks.
Qi Xuan let out a wail, crying. She closed her eyes, not wanting to see Long Chen’s corpse.
Qi Fengxue also shut her eyes sadly. Long Chen was too arrogant to actually charge directly at so many terrifying experts. Amongst them had even been Xie Luo, True Immortal Jiaoqi, Huo Lieyun, and other peak experts.
However, at the next moment, space twisted, and Long Chen’s figure reappeared in another location.
“What?!”
Startled cries rang out. Long Chen had only been faking his attack. The instant that they had launched their collective attack, he had used the Sundering Lightning Heavenly Wings to dodge.
Long Chen had Evilmoon on his shoulder. He waved toward the Life Star Empyreans in goodbye with a sinister smile.
“Not good, we’ve been taken in!”
Huo Lieyun’s expression suddenly changed. He sensed mortal danger, and it was coming from behind them.
“Dragonblood Cross Slash!”
Suddenly, a roar rang out. The Dragonblood warriors shouted in unison, all their dragon scales shining brightly.
Guo Ran was standing at the front, and all the Dragonblood warriors’ energy was pouring into him. Guo Ran then crossed his sabers before him.
A giant cross-shaped beam of energy shot out. The center of the cross was those Life Star Empyreans who had gathered together for their own protection.
BOOM!
The giant cross beam slammed into them. They had just unleashed their strongest move and relaxed upon thinking that Long Chen was dead, not realizing that the real danger was behind them. As a result, flesh and blood flew.
This was an attack using all the Dragonblood Legion’s energy. Hence, it left a ripple of death as it passed through the air. The Life Star Empyreans struck at the core of the attack were instantly annihilated.
As for the rest, the ripple of death also blew them apart. Only those at the very edge managed to escape this tribulation. However, they were heavily injured. Some of them had even lost half their bodies.
After this one attack, the originally twenty-six hundred experts were cut down to just five hundred. Furthermore, half of them were heavily injured. Some people only had their heads left.
This attack was absolutely vicious. It had displayed unimaginable killing power when used against this concentrated group of unprepared experts.
The neutral camp’s experts were dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe their eyes. This shocking reversal was outside any of their expectations.
However, some had already realized that this had been planned by Long Chen.
At first, Long Chen had been slaughtering those Life Star Empyreans, and so Huo Lieyun gave the order to gather
together. After that, Long Chen acted like gathering together put him in mortal danger, and so he baited them into attacking him, drawing their attention for the Dragonblood Legion to launch their sneak attack.
Using himself as bait, Long Chen had drawn all the attention of the Life Star Empyreans. As a result, right as they unleashed their all-out attack, the Dragonblood Legion suddenly scattered their defenses, instead launching a peerless attack. The cooperation between the two had been seamless. By the time Huo Lieyun reacted, it was already over.
“Kill!”
Just at this time, Gu Yang, Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Lingshan, and the others charged toward the chaotic leftovers of the Life Star Empyreans.
Chapter 1909 Evil Spirit Hell, Heavenly Evil Death Blow
“Ice Seals the Land, World of Absolute Zero.”
The most terrifying one was Ye Zhiqiu. Her manifestation unleashed a terrifying cold wave. It was so cold that Ye Zhiqiu had to distance herself from her allies as her ice domain was too terrifying.
The surviving Life Star Empyreans were mostly injured, and some were even on the verge of death. When this terrifying Ice Qi struck them, they were powerless to resist.
They instantly transformed into ice statues. In the next instant, the statues would crack, eventually shattering into ice powder.
If they weren’t injured, these powerful Life Star Empyreans would be able to rely on their cultivation base and world energy to resist Ye Zhiqiu’s Ice Qi, but now the Ice Qi became a killing blow.
Those Life Star Empyreans shattered one by one. The mildly injured ones tried to resist, but before they could run, they were slain by Ye Zhiqiu’s ice sword. That ice sword was a precious treasure of the Divine Ice Palace.
Ye Zhiqiu was just the prelude. Yue Zifeng’s sword took the life of a Life Star Empyrean with each attack. He never missed.
The body of the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow appeared in the sky, flying back and forth. Cloud targeted the Life Star Empyreans that were further away and might escape. In front of her terrifying speed, running was a joke.
Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao were in control of the entire battlefield. The body of the Undying Willow spread, and the two of them prevented this group from running.
Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, Ye Lingshan, and the others pounced on the Life Star Empyreans. On the other hand, the Dragonblood warriors were bringing up the rear. The big attack had sucked up all their energy.
However, using up all their energy on that one attack had been entirely worth it. Not a scrap of their energy had been wasted. It could even be described as the winning blow.
There were less than five hundred surviving Life Star Empyreans, and with the majority of them injured, they were hunted down miserably without having time to heal.
Worst of all, the lightning drakes that Long Chen had summoned were still attacking them.
As for Long Chen himself, his black scales were still shining, and his giant lightning wings were in constant motion. His fight against Huo Lieyun, Xie Luo, and True Immortal Jiaoqi was actually growing more intense.
“I said that I could last until the sixth month of next year, but it seems you won’t even be able to last a day,” said Long Chen. His attacks made his three opponents sweat.
“You’re just bragging! I refuse to believe it!” howled True Immortal Jiaoqi as he continued to crazily fight. As a result, he was sent flying by a strike from Long Chen’s saber. Long Chen’s current power was so great that True Immortal Jiaoqi was nothing. If it weren’t for Huo Lieyun and Xie Luo fighting alongside him, then considering his foolish way of fighting in head-on clashes like this, he would have long since been killed by Long Chen.
Long Chen was actually in a rush. While these lightning drakes were coming from another world, he was the one providing the energy to keep the spatial channel open.
Maintaining that channel didn’t just require a huge amount of spiritual yuan but also the power of his Yuan Spirit. His Yuan Spirit was already feeling like it was going to tear apart. He was overdrafting his Spiritual Strength.
Lasting until the sixth month of next year was definitely a joke. He wouldn’t even be able to last half a day. His big words were just used to intimidate his enemies.
However, even if it was just a bluff, Long Chen’s power backed up his words. Lightning continued to surge throughout this world, pressuring the Life Star Empyreans. Without the interference of these lightning drakes, the sneak attack of the Dragonblood Legion wouldn’t have had such effect.
Just at this moment, the lightning channel shuddered and Long Chen’s expression twitched.
Suddenly, the lightning drakes gave up on their opponents and shot straight back to the lightning channel.
“Damnit, my Yuan Spirit is out of power. I can’t maintain the channel. The lightning field is automatically summoning the lightning drakes back!” Long Chen’s heart shook. This lightning paragon art was a kind of law and also a kind of contract. He could summon the lightning field’s energy to help him fight, but he had to maintain the channel.
As the channel ran out of energy, once it was about to collapse, it would trigger the lightning field’s laws. At that time, the lightning field would automatically keep the channel open, but only for a few seconds to draw back all the lightning energy belonging to it.
In less than a breath’s time, all the lightning filling this world vanished. The lightning channel behind Long Chen closed and vanished.
“His paragon art has reached its limit! We can still kill him!” roared Huo Lieyun. He recalled his flame giant, instead taking out a diagram. When that diagram appeared, everyone’s expressions changed.
“The Brahma Divine Diagram!”
This diagram was Pill Valley’s peerless treasure, the Brahma Divine Diagram. The void trembled around it, and a ray of divine light shot toward Long Chen.
Long Chen’s lightning wings hastily brought him away. Long Chen knew that if he was enveloped by that light, he would be drawn into the Brahma Divine Diagram.
If he was trapped inside, it would only take a few breaths’ time for Huo Lieyun, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Xie Luo to attack the Dragonblood Legion and cause an unbearable result.
Huo Lieyun suddenly clapped his hands together. His forehead split open, and drops of essence blood flew out, transforming into lotus runes that merged into the Brahma Divine Diagram. He began to chant a scripture, and more of his essence blood flowed into it.
The Brahma Divine Diagram began shining brightly. The mountains and rivers, the sun, moon, and stars within the diagram began to quiver. Rays of divine light shot out at Long Chen.
Clearly, Huo Lieyun’s power was not at the realm of being able to control the Brahma Divine Diagram. He was forced to offer up his essence blood to activate it. That was a self-destructive method.
He no longer had any choice. If he didn’t, there would be no way to suppress Long Chen, and then their entire mission would end in failure.
The Brahma Divine Diagram erupted with divine light thanks to Huo Lieyun’s essence blood. That light crashed down on Long Chen. This time, there was nowhere to run. Huo Lieyun was forcing him into a head-on clash.
“Fuck, so he still had such a move. I can only go all-out.”
The divine light of the Brahma Divine Diagram filled the world. Long Chen had nowhere to run, so he raised Evilmoon, pointing it at the sky. A black saber-image condensed in the air, piercing the dome of the sky.
A fierce will erupted. That was a will to slice through the restrictions of heaven and earth, a will to charge through any tribulations, a will to slaughter anyone who tried to stop him, be it a man or a god.
“Split the Heavens 7!”
The black saber-image crashed down like a black river of stars, striking the Brahma Divine Diagram.
BOOM!
The entire world instantly lost all its color. Terrifying divine might exploded, and the world turned dark.
T
he void rumbled and shook. Fragments of spacetime clashed, unleashing giant ripples. It was like heaven and earth had been separated, turning into two separate worlds. All the experts present were sent flying.
This was a truly world-destroying exchange. Every expert was sent flying into the distance. It was unknown just how far some of them flew.
This was a blow that almost shattered the wall of this world. Long Chen and Huo Lieyun were both pale as paper, hacking up blood. Cracks had appeared all over their bodies.
The huge backlash was something that neither Evilmoon nor the Brahma Divine Diagram could block, causing their two masters to almost be killed.
Long Chen extracted the life energy inside the primal chaos bead, instantly healing. He shot toward Huo Lieyun, wanting to eliminate the latter while he was still injured. Long Chen definitely couldn’t give him another chance to activate the Brahma Divine Diagram. He was taking advantage of the primal chaos space.
Just as he moved, a giant figure appeared behind him. It was a giant qilin with an extra-long tail. Blood Qi and flames soared out of it.
It was True Immortal Jiaoqi. He had taken this form through igniting his blood soul and essence blood. After he opened his mouth, the qilin halberd actually shot out of it.
“Qilin Blood Soul attack!”
This was the strongest divine ability of the qilin-drake race and was something True Immortal Jiaoqi could only unleash by igniting his blood soul and essence blood. That was a terrifying price, but this move was also a peerless attack.
“Split the Heavens 7!” Long Chen roared again.
BOOM!
Long Chen miserably flew back, tumbling back and coughing up blood. His entire body hurt. It felt like he was about to collapse.
“Damnit, the Yin Yang Immortal Grass is out of energy!”
Long Chen’s expression changed. The first time he had activated the seventh form of Split the Heavens, his meridians had received a heavy impact. However, the next time he used it, the Yin Yang Immortal Grass had helped him bear the impact. He had learned from it.
Hence, he had borrowed the power of the root of the Yin Yang Immortal Grass in the primal chaos space for this. It had only grown to around three hundred meters, and after enduring the impact of this attack twice, it was starting to wither. That meant that he couldn’t use the seventh form of Split the Heavens again, or his meridians wouldn’t be able to bear it.
