Compared to the first and second forms of Split the Heavens, using the third form required a short cast time at his current power level. Although it wasn’t as long as the Raging Flame Prison, such a short time could be fatal in a battle against experts. Such an opening would only bring a person to death faster.

  Those kinds of battles where people instantly unleashed their strongest moves at the start were absolute nonsense. They were just used to dazzle others. In real battles, large moves were often difficult to unleash and required careful preparation.

  Normally, you either had to create distance, or use some kind of ruthless move to force back your opponent. There was also another option. That was to take advantage of when your opponents were filled with hesitation and indecision to unleash your ultimate move.

  Buzz.

  A huge saber-image soared into the clouds. Energy that felt like it could exterminate heaven and earth condensed in the air.

  The saber-image was completely straight. Its power caused the river of stars to quiver. In that instant, Que Xinyan, Yan Mochen, and the other rank five Celestial turned as pale as paper.

  They were locked down by a terrifying aura. At that moment, it felt like they were facing a merciless death god whose sickle was slowly approaching them.

  The huge saber-image crashed down. It seemed to fill every corner of the world. Whether you fled to the heavens or hell, you wouldn’t be able to escape it.

  “Flames Seal the Heavens!”

  “Great Earthen Protection!”

  “Dark Underworld Shield!”

  The three of them activated their Spirit Blood, using self-destructive moves to unleash their greatest defensive moves.

  Their defenses had barely formed before the saber-image reached them.

  Chapter 1073 Divine Power Shocks All

  The huge saber-image contained boundless killing intent. It tore through the air, causing the void to rumble.

  BOOM!

  It slashed down upon their three defenses. The defensive measures they had used self-destructive methods to summon instantly blew up.

  The earth shook intensely, and a terrifying qi wave erupted in every direction. The ground was stripped of a layer of stones.

  Even the distant Hua Shiyu, Hu Guishan, and Fan Song were blown back by the qi wave. Hua Shiyu coughed up blood and flew dozens of miles away.

  She had already used a forbidden technique against the devil beasts. Then she had used it once more to stall Hu Guishan and Fan Song. As soon as she was struck by that qi wave, her aura dropped precipitously.

  Just as she was about to smash into the ground, Zhao Ziyan flew over and caught her.

  The qi wave rampaged through the entire battlefield. When the dust finally settled, people saw a huge hole in front of Long Chen. There were two people lying in the hole, gasping for breath.

  The two of them were Que Xinyan and Yan Mochen. The two of them lay in the hole, constantly coughing up blood, all their bones broken. Que Xinyan’s head had even caved in, making his current state appear frightening.

  As for the other rank five Celestial, he had already disappeared. He had been blown to bits by the attack.

  Long Chen stabbed his saber into the ground and gasped for breath. That was his current strongest saber attack. But it was also exhausting to use.

  To activate twenty-seven divine runes instantly consumed the majority of his spiritual yuan. But the worse thing was that it had provoked his previous injury from breaking the limits of the Raging Flame Prison. Both he and Huo Long had suffered a heavy backlash from that power.

  Right now, the trees in the primal chaos space no longer possessed enough life energy to help him too much. At best, they were only able to suppress some of his injuries, but they were unable to instantly heal the injuries any longer.

  After using up so much spiritual yuan, he no longer had the power to suppress those injuries. He felt like his body was about to break down.

  On the surface, it looked like he was merely panting for breath. But in reality, cracks had appeared in his body. Those were very serious injuries.

  But Long Chen raised his saber and slowly walked toward the two of them.

  The two of them were filled with terror. They could clearly feel the sensation of death descending upon them. They wanted to say something, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they coughed up blood.

  Just as Long Chen got close, a flame arrow shot toward him. This attack came out of nowhere, and before anyone could react, it reached his chest.

  Que Xinyan continued to cough up blood, but he had a sinister smile. That was his Earth Flame’s trump card. At such a close distance, there was no way for Long Chen to dodge.

  This sudden attack caused startled cries from everyone. No one had expected that Que Xinyan, who had been on his final breaths, would still be holding back such a powerful move.

  Long Chen smiled with derision. He was the true ancestor of playing with fire. Was it even possible for him to forget about the powerful Earth Flame in Que Xinyan’s body?

  The flame arrow was Que Xinyan’s Earth Flame that had transformed into an arrow. Its power was such that even a King would be killed if struck.

  Just as this arrow was about to pierce Long Chen’s body, a lightning dragon appeared and bit down on the arrow. Then the lightning dragon and flame arrow disappeared together.

  Que Xinyan turned pale. In that instant, he lost his connection to his Earth Flame. That was naturally because the Earth Flame was suppressed within the primal chaos space.

  Within the primal chaos space, it seemed to be suffering some kind of pressure and didn’t dare to resist. Huo Long was like a Magical Beast that had been starving for millennia, and it immediately pounced. The Earth Flame simply allowed itself to be devoured.

  Long Chen’s saber stabbed through Que Xinyan’s chest. The power behind his saber caused Que Xinyan’s body to explode.

  The instant his body exploded, a translucent soul flew out. As a flame cultivator, Que Xinyan possessed powerful Spiritual Strength.

  His spiritual body had only just appeared and begun to flee when a lightning arrow flew toward him.

  “No!” Que Xinyan’s soul let out a miserable and unwilling cry.

  But that cry was unable to change his fate of being completely exterminated. The lightning arrow struck Que Xinyan’s soul, causing it to dissipate.

  Long Chen then stabbed his saber into Yan Mochen’s chest. He raised him into the air. Yan Mochen’s bones were all broken, and he was like a lump of flesh.

  “I said that whether you ascend to the heavens or flee to hell, I would still kill you. Now you should believe it.” Long Chen’s voice was icy-cold as he stared at Yan Mochen.

  Everyone on the battlefield was staring at Long Chen in shock. They were unable to even feel their hearts beating.

  Han Yunshan had died. Wei Changhai had died. Que Xinyan had died. Those two rank five Celestials had also died.

  Those were all peak heavenly geniuses, but they had been killed one by one just like this. Even Hu Guishan and Fan Song were as pale as paper. They had also misjudged Long Chen. Long Chen was much crazier than they had thought.

  Seeing Yan Mochen hang helplessly with Long Chen’s saber through him, everyone was deathly silent. Hu Guishan and Fan Song were both too far to possibly do anything. They simply watched.

  Hua Shiyu managed to stand with Zhao Ziyan’s support. She stared at that distant figure.

  Wild. Domineering. A devil who could not be restrained. It was like within heaven and earth, he was the only thing that existed.

  “Long Chen… go ahead and kill me… In any case… you’ll also die… hahaha… cough…” Yan Mochen already knew that his death was doubtless today. He smiled sinisterly at Long Chen.

  “Unfortunately, you’ll never see that day. I’ll be sending you on your way now,” said Long Chen coldly.

  “Stop!” Just at this moment, five figures rushed over. Those five were wearing robes of the senior generation. The one
leading them was a handsome and cold man.

  “How brazen Long Chen! You dare to kill people from the same sect? Your crimes have already earned you the death penalty, so hurry up and release him!” he shouted.

  Seeing that man, Hu Guishan and Fan Song smiled. Even Yan Mochen, who had accepted his death, had his eyes brighten.

  “Hehe, Long Chen, you can’t kill me! Senior apprentice-brother Xianyang is here. Once you kill me, he’ll crush you like an ant!” It was unknown whether or not it was because of his excitement, but Yan Mochen suddenly had a surge of life.

  “Death penalty? Release him? Another bunch of arrogant idiots who look down on others. You’re definitely related to the Law Enforcement Hall. How laughable; if I’ve already earned the death penalty, why would I release him? Is the only thing in your heads crap?” sneered Long Chen. Spiritual yuan poured into his saber. As long as he willed it, he could kill Yan Mochen, and no one would be able to stop him.

  That cold man narrowed his eyes, and a hint of killing intent appeared within him. This was his first time encountering someone who dared to speak to him like this, and it was just a Sea Expansion disciple.

  In reality, he was one of the top heavenly geniuses of the previous generation. He was at the peak of Foundation Forging and a rank six Celestial. Even ordinary Elders wouldn’t dare to offend him.

  Long Chen’s deduction was completely right. He was closely related to the Law Enforcement Hall. He had already joined their side.

  In the Xuantian Dao Sect, disciples could freely join any department they wanted once they reached Foundation Forging.

  This could be likened to an application. Once they advanced to the Jade Core realm, in other words, the level of a King, they would become Elders of that department.

  For those who had joined a department, their glory would be the department’s, and the department would greatly support them.

  It was also due to this that the Law Enforcement Hall had still spent a huge number of points on Que Xinyan despite him losing his Earth Flames repeatedly.

  Although Que Xinyan, Hu Guishan, and Fan Song hadn’t reached Foundation Forging and couldn’t officially join them yet, that didn’t stop them from receiving the Law Enforcement Hall’s patronage. The Law Enforcement Hall’s power was just what they wanted.

  So Yan Mochen, Fan Song, and Hu Guishan all knew who this cold man was, and they also felt much more secure in seeing him arrive.

  “I don’t believe you dare to kill him. The instant you kill him, I will kill you,” said that icy man.

  The instant he spoke, the world became silent. Some kind of formless energy locked onto Long Chen.

  This was a spatial lock that could be used once someone reached Foundation Forging. Through great power, he had compressed space, causing Long Chen to be under immense pressure.

  Someone with a weak cultivation base wouldn’t even be able to move in such a situation. They would be no different than an ant whose life was in the Foundation Forging expert’s hands.

  This was the difference between the Sea Expansion realm and the Foundation Forging realm. Under this kind of spatial lock, each one of Long Chen’s movements was sensed by the cold man.

  As soon as Long Chen used his power to kill Yan Mochen, it would be sensed, and the cold man would launch an all-out attack.

  “Release him, and you might be able to live,” he called. His voice was full of confidence and unquestionable dignity.

  “Who do you think you are to order me? I, Long Chen, never submit to threats.”

  Long Chen suddenly smiled coldly. A lightning arrow shot out of his body and struck Yan Mochen.

  The lightning arrow pierced Yan Mochen’s head. Yan Mochen’s eyes widened. Within those widened eyes, the only thing that existed was unwillingness.

  Chapter 1074 Guilty?

  Yan Mochen was killed right in front of that cold senior disciple. The tension in the air reached a peak.

  “Since you want to die, I’ll help you out.” The senior disciple waved a hand, and thousands of runic swords appeared around him, shooting toward Long Chen.

  “Split the Heavens 3!” Long Chen had been secretly circulating his spiritual yuan even before killing Yan Mochen. He had activated all twenty-seven divine runes. However, he had less than a third of his spiritual yuan, causing his attack’s power to sharply drop.

  BOOM!

  Long Chen’s saber-image exploded upon contact with the senior disciple’s swords, and he was blown back, vomiting blood. Many faint cracks appeared on his body.

  “Not bad, you were able to receive one of my attacks. But you’ll still die.”

  The senior disciple summoned a huge sword-image. It split into two, and then two split into four. Their sharpness caused the void to be easily pierced by them. They shot toward Long Chen.

  This was one of his truly powerful attacks, and there was no way for Long Chen to resist it, especially not in his heavily injured state.

  Long Chen took a deep breath. A medicinal pill suddenly appeared in his hand: the Dragon Tiger Heavenly Explosion Pill. That was a top grade pill he had obtained in the Immemorial Path.

  Just as he was about to swallow it, a cold shout rang out. “Gao Xianyang, you grow more and more shameless. Do you not feel ashamed to bully a newcomer?”

  Sword Qi slashed down, destroying Gao Xianyang’s four sword-images. Su Mo appeared in front of Long Chen.

  At the same time, a gentle hand pressed onto Long Chen’s back. Vast life energy poured into his body.

  In front of this practically inexhaustible life energy, his injuries began to slowly heal.

  “Many thanks, senior apprentice-sister Qingxuan.” Long Chen didn’t even need to look back to know that Mu Qingxuan had arrived.

  “Sigh, I don’t know what to say to you. Just keep quiet and use my energy to heal,” said Mu Qingxuan. At this time, the Dragonblood Legion and the Heaven Female Alliance came to stand by his side.

  The Flame Gate, Hegemon Hall, and Divine Beast Mansion’s disciples were all standing by Hu Guishan and Fan Song. The two sides were sharply opposed.

  Wang Zhen looked at this scene for a moment, and without a word, he went to stand by Long Chen.

  “Su Mo, does a defeated general like you have any qualifications to speak?” asked Gao Xianyang coldly.

  Su Mo shook his head. “You’re the one who is clearest on whether or not I have the qualifications. Now that the matter has reached this point, more words have no meaning. This matter cannot be resolved by just my Elder Hall or your Law Enforcement Hall.”

  After Su Mo finished speaking, everyone’s badges lit up. After a moment of darkness, their vision brightened as they reappeared in the Xuantian Dao Sect’s inner sect plaza.

  At this time, there were tens of thousands of disciples already waiting. They were all disciples from the previous generation, Foundation Forging experts.

  Their bodies were covered in blood, and their clothes were torn. They had clearly also gone through a bitter battle.

  Not only were there tens of thousands of Foundation Forging disciples, but there were also over a thousand Elders, as well as various experts on the level of Hall Masters. Most shocking of all, even the Xuan Master himself had arrived.

  Heavy pressure hung in the air. No one dared to make a sound. With Mu Qingxuan’s help, Long Chen’s injuries had been suppressed. But they were just suppressed; they were not healed.

  That discouraged Mu Qingxuan. Her wood energy was like a sacred medicine. With her cultivation base, any injuries should be instantly healed. But her wood energy had actually lost effect on Long Chen. Last time, she had been able to heal him, but this time, she only managed to suppress his injury, making sure it wouldn’t get worse.

  “Long Chen, do you know your sins?” shouted the Xuan Master coldly.

  All the Hall Masters and Elders’ hearts shook. In their memory, the Xuan Master was always indifferent and leisurely. He never seemed to care too much no matter what was happening. But
this matter had actually evoked such thunderous anger from him.

  “I don’t.” Long Chen shook his head.

  He has guts. The Xuan Master icily looked at Long Chen before continuing to shout, “You repeatedly killed members from the same sect as you, but you don’t know your sins? There is no way to pardon you now!”

  “Is there something wrong with killing people from the same sect?” asked Long Chen with an uncomprehending expression.

  “Bastard, what a stupid question. Are you trying to play the fool!? Killing people from the same sect is punishable by having all of one’s bones broken, muscles pulled out, and soul extracted. Long Chen, let’s see how you try to escape your punishment now!” The Law Enforcement Hall Master smiled sinisterly.

  “Fuck your mother, you old bastard! Do you think this matter has anything to do with you? What qualifications do you have to interject here?” cursed Long Chen.

  “You!”

  “Luo Fan, shut your mouth. Do you even place me in your eyes? Do you think you can control everything within the Xuantian Dao Sect?” shouted the Xuan Master.

  The instant he spoke, the world suddenly turned dark. Black clouds filled the sky, flashing with lightning. A terrifying pressure descended.

  “The Xuan Master is furious! Even the Heavenly Daos become furious with him!” The Hall Masters’ hearts shook.

  Just his emotions had affected the Heavenly Daos. In that instant, everyone felt themselves to be ants. Looking up at the heavens’ fury, even those on the level of Hall Masters shivered, their souls shaking. It was like the Xuan Master could exterminate them with just a thought.

  The Law Enforcement Hall Master shook, large droplets of sweat dripping down his forehead. His face was pale.

  “Disciple doesn’t dare.” He immediately knelt on the ground respectfully.

  “If you don’t dare, then shut up,” shouted the Xuan Master. Then to Long Chen, he icily demanded, “Long Chen, what did you just say?”

  All the disciples beside Long Chen, whether they were from the Dragonblood Legion, Heaven Female Alliance, or any other faction, knelt on the ground.
