Long Chen suddenly felt his body weaken as though his life energy faded away. It was some kind of power that surpassed the Heavenly Daos, like an irresistible curse. Long Chen felt like he had dropped into an iceberg.
“It’s death energy!”
Evilmoon suddenly let out a shout, actually flying out of Long Chen’s spiritual space to attack Leng Yueyan’s head.
BOOM!
Evilmoon and Long Chen were both sent flying. Leng Yueyan’s gaze was icy. Killing intent surged within her, and she suddenly appeared in front of Long Chen, grabbing his neck. “The end of life, the peak of death, using my name as Nethergod, I cast you to the Purgatory! Suffer the eight torments…”
Long Chen felt himself grow weaker and weaker. It was like Leng Yueyan was a god of death, stripping him of his life.
“Scram!” Suddenly, a burst of energy came from the primal chaos space as though it had been provoked. A burst of energy erupted out of Long Chen.
Leng Yueyan’s expression changed, and she was sent flying by that burst of energy. She crashed into the wall, causing the cave to shake.
Long Chen pounced on her once more. It was unknown where he got the energy, but this time, when he grabbed her dress, he managed to tear it off, revealing her body.
Once her dress was torn, it actually transformed into runes that dissipated into the air. Her clothes had actually been condensed of some law.
Long Chen grabbed the stunned Leng Yueyan and threw her to the ground. She tried to resist, but she suddenly found that there was some terrifying divine power coming from Long Chen that suppressed her.
“If you dare to blaspheme me-!”
“Fuck your blaspheme, didn’t you say that you’re the only one allowed to subdue others? Today, I’ll be the one subduing you!” Long Chen roared. Leng Yueyan struggled intensely. Divine runes appeared in her eyes, but they would always crumble as soon as they appeared.
“You will regret this!” shouted Leng Yueyan.
“I’ve never done anything that I regret!” Long Chen ignored her threats. He would return all the pain that she had given him.
After two hours, Long Chen was still working hard when he suddenly sensed someone else walk in. That person was the red-robed Leng Yueyan.
Leng Yueyan held her bone sword in her right hand and an ancient formation disc in her left. There was a small pillar on the formation disc. It was actually the pillar that she had cut off from the Corrupt God’s altar, but much smaller.
When she walked in, she gasped. The formation disc fell from her hand, and she covered her mouth, filled with disbelief.
Long Chen also became dumbfounded. He glanced from the shocked Leng Yueyan to the other Leng Yueyan who looked like she wanted to kill him.
Long Chen hastily jumped away, rapidly putting on his clothes. He looked at the Leng Yueyan that had just walked in. “Is she your twin or something…?”
Long Chen’s voice shuddered, and he felt a chill. It seemed he had just done something terrible. If it really was her sister, would Leng Yueyan immediately kill him?
However, the two of them were truly alike. Even each of their eyebrows was identical.
The other Leng Yueyan was filled with furious killing intent. She waved her hand, and runes condensed into her original dress.
“Ah, about that… My sincerest apologies…” Long Chen awkwardly apologized to the Leng Yueyan in the imperial dress.
“Shut up! You, a mortal, dared to blaspheme me? I will make sure you suffer eternally within Purgatory!” shouted that Leng Yueyan.
Suddenly, Leng Yueyan began to laugh delightedly. She was laughing so hard that she was shaking.
Long Chen retreated slightly, holding Evilmoon and secretly storing up energy. Leng Yueyan was someone who could become hostile at the drop of a hat. He had to defend against her suddenly attacking him. Even now, he didn’t know what was going on.
“You betrayed me.” The Leng Yueyan in the dress coldly looked at the other Leng Yueyan.
“No, I didn’t betray you. You are the one who wants to destroy me. I’m just resisting. My birth, my life was all planned by you. Ever since the death of my sister Nianrou, I knew that my parents, my sister, they were all part of the fate that you arranged. You want me to hate this world, but to tell the truth, the only thing I hate is you. You used the death of my sister Nianrou to awaken my killing intent, and then made me brush against death several times. But it was always you. Although I don’t know why you did this, you’ve failed… I am not your chess piece, I am not your tool. I am someone with blood, flesh, and soul. I have someone I love. However, your luck is very good. My man actually used you. How does it taste?” Leng Yueyan smiled like a little devil.
“Shut up!” The other Leng Yueyan glared at her, her whole body shuddering with killing intent.
“Ah, I forgot, my man was just broken in and doesn’t have much experience. It seems he didn’t do a good job. How about you let him gain some more experience before coming to find you again?” laughed Leng Yueyan.
The other Leng Yueyan suddenly smashed her palm forward, while Leng Yueyan slashed her bone sword out.
The sharp bone sword cleanly sliced through her palm. Blood slowly dripped down.
However, when the blood dripped into the ground, it transformed into divine runes, which then merged back into heaven and earth. A faint divine pressure caused space to rumble.
“This is… the blood of a god?!” Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed. Legend was that the blood of gods could not exist in this mortal world.
“I remember now! You’re…!” Long Chen suddenly recalled that when he had undergone his tribulation in the Xuantian Dao Sect’s Devil Abyss, he had once seen someone who looked identical to Leng Yueyan.
“You shut up!” that Leng Yueyan glared at Long Chen with immense hatred. She didn’t even want to hear his voice.
“Long Chen, look at how angry this big sister is. Shouldn’t you apologize to her?” Leng Yueyan looked at Long Chen and smiled warmly.
“Ah, big sister, I’m truly sorry. I mistook you for someone else. I know that a simple apology cannot appease your anger, so… how about this? You can subdue me once just like she did, and I promise not to resist!” Long Chen raised a hand as he swore.
“Fuck off!” The Leng Yueyan wearing a dress looked like flames were about to erupt from her eyes.
Long Chen could only shrug, not daring to say anything. Today had been too strange, and he still didn’t know who this other Leng Yueyan was, or what her connection was to the Leng Yueyan that he knew.
Chapter 1963 Fighting the True Body
“That’s where you’re wrong. Long Chen is my man, so he’s your man too. Why shout and quarrel with your own people? If you think about it, Long Chen is my man, but then you became his woman. I should be the one angry,” said Leng Yueyan with a faint smile.
“Leng Yueyan, so you know that you were me and I was you? Then why did you harm me like this? He’s a mortal… do you realize this affects my divine root?” raged the other Leng Yueyan.
“Why would I harm you? Do you not know? Didn’t you precisely come here in order to kill me? I’m no longer under your control. Is it painful being hurt by me? When you killed my father, my mother, and my sister Nianrou, did you think about my pain?” Leng Yueyan sneered. “There is a certain phrase on the Martial Heaven Continent: man proposes, god disposes. But even gods aren’t omnipotent. How is it? Having your own bone slice your hand, does it hurt?”
The other Leng Yueyan’s hand was still pressed against the bone sword. The bone sword had actually connected with her palm. They had temporarily merged, and she couldn’t pull back.
“I laid down this trap with the evil dragon essence soul and a totem with the Corrupt God’s faith energy. I thought that you would just send one of your clones, but you actually sent your true body. No wonder none of the alarm systems I set up managed to sense you. But due to that, you actually ended up falling into my man’s hands. How in
teresting. Your divine mark has also been damaged. It seems my man is quite good.” Leng Yueyan smiled upon seeing the divine rune on the other Leng Yueyan’s forehead had dimmed.
“I didn’t come to kill you!”
Leng Yueyan shook her head. “Even if you didn’t come to kill me, you came to arrange me as a chess piece. But I’m not going to be your chess piece.”
“You are me, I am you! There are no chess pieces between us.”
“I am just a strand of your divine will. I am the clone, while you’re the true body. You wouldn’t create me for no reason, and you wouldn’t come here for no reason. I am just a chess piece for you to achieve your goals.”
“Then what do you want?”
“What do you think? I want to take the dominating position. I’ll succeed the position of the true body.”
“You want to refine me?!” The other Leng Yueyan laughed furiously.
“My original plan was to kill your clone and devour it to strengthen myself. I thought that was pretty brazen already, but I didn’t think that there would be someone even more brazen than me. So I’m thinking of going a bit crazy as well.”
“Do we really need to fight to this extent? I don’t want to destroy you.”
“This is fate.”
Leng Yueyan’s bone sword suddenly lit up. The hand it was piercing began to turn to stone. The stone crept up her arm.
The other Leng Yueyan suddenly tore off her right arm. However, this time, there was no blood. Her arm instantly regrew. She slammed her two palms together, and black qi surged out. Her dress instantly became black, and she became a manifestation of death. With a wave of her hand, a black bridge appeared. A divine pressure came from that bridge.
BOOM!
Leng Yueyan’s sword shattered the bridge. She smiled. “I’m familiar with your abilities. This place is the Martial Heaven Continent, not your world. You would probably have had to split yourself into at least ten million clones before your true body could sneak through the barrier of this world. Now your divine root has been damaged, and your power has sharply dropped. As for me, I have the evil dragon essence soul and the Corrupt God’s energy. You’re the one who will be defeated today.”
Leng Yueyan’s bone sword sliced through the air. However, the other Leng Yueyan also took out a bone sword. The two began an intense battle.
When their two bone swords clashed, a wave of Sword Qi shot out. Long Chen hastily dodged. That Sword Qi cut the cave in two.
The cave exploded, and Long Chen saw that they were in a barren wasteland. Up in the sky, a black dragon image appeared. Behind it was a giant totem from which divine light sprinkled down.
“Fuck, that’s my essence soul!” roared Evilmoon. However, that essence soul was no longer truly there. Leng Yueyan had used some method to transform it into a part of some grand formation.
The dragon essence soul combined with the energy of the totem, creating a giant domain.
“Hmph, these two energies can’t last for long. Once they’re exhausted, you’ll lose.”
“They’ll be enough to handle you.”
Leng Yueyan’s manifestation suddenly surged, and a figure identical to her appeared, a bone sword in its hand.
Leng Yueyan’s attack power soared. She was so powerful that she forced back the other Leng Yueyan repeatedly.
The void rumbled. Tribulation clouds condensed in the sky, and the Leng Yueyan wearing a black dress suddenly looked up with fear.
“It seems luck is standing on my side. Your aura has been sensed by the Heavenly Daos. This is a godless world. You have broken that order, and will definitely die.”
Heavenly might descended from the sky. The divine rune on the other Leng Yueyan’s forehead lit up once more. A ray of light soared out of her sword.
The world changed color. The laws of the world crumbled before it. Long Chen was in the distance, but he felt like he was going to be sliced apart.
“Are you going all-out now?”
Leng Yueyan suddenly gripped her sword with both hands. The dragon and totem images behind her suddenly exploded, and all their energy was absorbed by her.
BOOM!
Long Chen was blown into the distance by the shockwaves of this attack. He almost coughed up blood.
As for the two Leng Yueyans, they were both knocked back, coughing up blood. Their auras were sharply dropping.
“Long Chen, stop her!” shouted Leng Yueyan suddenly.
Almost instinctively, Long Chen slashed Evilmoon at the other Leng Yueyan.
BOOM!
That Leng Yueyan coughed up blood. The previous exchange had heavily injured her. Her divine mark had vanished. She was on her last legs.
Long Chen pressed his saber against her neck. She didn’t say anything. She just coldly stared at him.
“Long Chen, kill her!” shouted Leng Yueyan.
Long Chen looked at the other Leng Yueyan. He knew that he should kill her. But he wasn’t able to make himself do that.
The sky rumbled. The heavenly punishment would fall at any moment. Even if he didn’t kill her, she would die to that law.
In the end, Long Chen sighed and pulled back Evilmoon.
“Go!”
That Leng Yueyan was surprised. But she coldly snorted, “I won’t feel any gratitude to you for this. You blasphemed me. I will still make you suffer an eternal hell in Purgatory.”
“Up to you.” Long Chen shook his head.
That Leng Yueyan stepped back and sliced the air with her bone sword. The void was torn apart. She glanced back at Long Chen before stepping into that crack, vanishing.
Once she was gone, the heavenly might that was gathering in the sky faded, having lost its target. This heavenly might was something that even Long Chen didn’t dare to provoke. It was heavenly punishment designed for gods.
“Bastard, why did you release her?!” Leng Yueyan walked over, furious. She was pale and tottering, looking like she might collapse.
Long Chen reached out to support her, but she pushed him aside. Clearly, she was truly angry.
Long Chen couldn’t say anything. Finally, Leng Yueyan sighed, “Sorry, I shouldn’t get angry with you.”
Leng Yueyan was actually apologizing? That greatly surprised him.
Leng Yueyan shook her head. “I was too greedy. I thought that she would just send a clone, but she sent her true body. Now her true body is heavily injured, That’s a huge chance for me. I shouldn’t be greedy. Long Chen, I know you’re a good person. Your character will never change, although you’re sometimes an idiot. But I like this foolishness of yours.” Leng Yueyan caressed Long Chen’s cheek. “Fine, since you didn’t kill her, I’ll have to do it. Otherwise, she’ll come after me once she’s healed, and I won’t be able to stop her. Goodbye, my man. If I manage to survive, I promise that next time, I’ll let you subdue me.”
A rare gentle expression appeared on Leng Yueyan’s face. She wrapped her arms around Long Chen’s neck and gave him a kiss on the face.
She then sliced her bone sword through the air, stepping into the void and vanishing.
Chapter 1964 Long Chen’s War Challenge
The two Leng Yueyan’s had vanished, and Long Chen looked at the swirling sand and dust around him, feeling like he was dreaming.
“She left just like that?”
This was Long Chen’s first time feeling like this. He felt lost and empty.
“Long Chen, I might not have admired anyone else in my lifetime, but you I admire. You even managed to get involved with a god. Amazing,” praised Evilmoon.
“Did you know it from the start?!” raged Long Chen.
“Cough, to tell the truth, I only had some suspicions. I was never able to confirm anything. But there was nothing I could do. Some things can’t be randomly spoken about, or the one bearing this karma would be you,” said Evilmoon hastily.
Long Chen snorted, not believing that excuse. He felt that Evilmoon was becoming more of a conner as time passed. Although it foll
owed him through life and death, sometimes it was just a huge conman.
Long Chen looked up at the sky and then at his own hands.
“What, are you pondering over that feeling?” snickered Evilmoon.
“Scram!”
After saying that, Long Chen also laughed. However, that laughter was a bit bitter as he felt something that was hard to describe. This experience was beyond belief.
Thereafter, Long Chen began flying through the air and found that he was in the northwestern part of the Central Xuan Region.
In that battle in the Heavenly Evil Cave, he had used up all his power. He had to admit that his true combat power had been surpassed by Xie Luo.
The Life Star realm was a huge barrier in front of him. He had even used up everything and hadn’t managed to kill Xie Luo.
Although he was able to fight across realms and even slay Netherpassage experts, those Netherpassage experts were just rank nine Celestials. Empyreans had only appeared in their generation. So even though he was able to kill Netherpassage experts, he couldn’t slay a Life Star Empyrean on this level. That was the difference between realms. He had to quickly catch up.
Furthermore, through this fight, his realm had stabilized once more. He possessed the qualifications to attack the Life Star realm.
He hopped into a flying boat, going toward the Eastern Xuan Region. He spent several days flying, using that time to prepare to attack the Life Star realm.
When he once more descended upon the Eastern Xuan City, he caused chaos. Last time, he had killed his way out, but now he had come again. He was actually ignoring the threat that Pill Valley and the others posed him. This was arrogance, this was domineering!
Long Chen directly walked into the Huayun Pavilion. On the way, he had already sent a message to the Huayun Sect that he wanted to talk with Zheng Wenlong.
“Brother Long, you grow more amazing with each passing day. You even dared to charge into the Heavenly Evil Cave. I really don’t know what to say,” said Zheng Wenlong.
