“Do you see?” said Long Chen helplessly as he put away the Blazing Dragon Cauldron and continued to smash the golden creature.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s hearts turned cold. Even with Long Chen’s power, even using an Ancestral item, he was unable to break the formation. Then there was no chance at all.
“Fuck, looks like we’re going to die here. Then let’s bring them down with us!” roared Bao Buping.
“Battle God Blessing!”
Bao Buping and Chang Hao both roared at the same time, and a blood-colored rune appeared on their foreheads. At the same time, runes began to light up all across their skin, looking like a runic armor. In that instant, it felt like two ancient monsters had woken.
The Battle God Blessing was the strongest power increasing art of the Battle God Sacred Canon. It was said to allow a person to receive a god’s blessing and raise their power as much as possible.
But the Battle God Blessing was not suited for a long battle. It only allowed for a brief burst of power. The Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples wouldn’t use it until there was no other option.
Now, Long Chen had shown that the formation was too powerful for them to escape. So the only thing left to do was to kill as many of these creatures as possible.
But what Bao Buping and Chang Hao hadn’t expected was that the instant they used the Battle God Blessing, their power burst forth on an unprecedented scale.
Their power had been raised far more than it had ever before. A faint halo of light surrounded them, and their power flowed out in torrential waves. A single slash of their swords pierced the creatures around them as easily as a knife going through tofu.
“What… what’s going on?”
Bao Buping and Chang Hao were shocked and delighted. When they had used the Battle God Blessing before, their power would double. But now their power had probably increased by ten times.
They had previously been miserably suppressed by these powerful creatures, but now they killed them easily.
Long Chen smiled. As expected, the reason those previous two disciples had been able to get out of this formation wasn’t because of how powerful they had been, but because… this place had the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet’s blessing.
The reason why the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet had appeared on this battlefield back then was because it embodied the Battle God’s will. Only by activating the Battle God Blessing within the range of the Heaven Splitting Divine Tablet’s blessing was it possible to use Split the Heavens to break the formation.
As soon as Long Chen had started to fight against the golden creature, he had felt that something was strange. With their power, they could definitely dominate any rank eight Celestials, but the formation hadn’t had any problem containing their power.
Back then, he had thought there was some problem. But the fact that two of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples had managed to escape shouldn’t be a coincidence. The problem was most likely something to do with Bao Buping and Chang Hao.
That was why Long Chen had put on a display of showing the formation’s power when the two of them had told him to break it. It was to make them lose any of their expectations.
Now that the two of them had used the Battle God Blessing, it all became clear. Long Chen didn’t cultivate the Battle God Sacred Canon, so he was unable to receive any blessing. If they wanted to break the formation, they would have to depend on the two of them.
“Together!”
Bao Buping and Chang Hao suddenly shouted at the same time. They forced back the surrounding creatures with a single slash and flew into the air. Like two arrows, they shot at the golden creature.
“Cripple him!” roared Bao Buping. With all three of them attacking the golden creature at the same time, they had sealed its paths of retreat. Their swords fell.
BOOM!
The golden creature was currently at a loss from being smashed by Long Chen’s pot over and over again. Seeing Bao Buping and Chang Hao attacking, the golden runes on its wings lit up, and it smashed a fist at them.
But it had miscalculated. With the Battle God Blessing, their power had increased by ten times. Their swords instantly blew apart the creature’s arm.
The creature let out a shrill cry, but that cry was cut off halfway as a pot smashed into the back of its head.
The pot directly smashed apart the creature’s head. As the head exploded, a small devil core tried to fly away.
“I was waiting for you!” Long Chen snorted and grabbed the devil core. The devil core had the golden creature’s soul within it, and that was what he wanted the most.
The devil core suddenly lit up, and it felt like flames were about to erupt from within it.
“Hmph, you want to kill yourself? Keep dreaming. Soul Sealing Art.”
Long Chen snorted and formed hand seals with one hand. A net formed around Long Chen’s hand. This was Long Chen’s soul art.
The net bound the devil core tightly, and that erupting energy instantly turned calm. In the end, not even a ripple came out of it.
In terms of power, the golden creature might be able to fight evenly with Long Chen. But in terms of Spiritual Strength, they were not even close to the same level.
Although Long Chen’s skill in soul arts was crude compared to Meng Qi, his Spiritual Strength was vast like a sea and practically endless. Suppressing the devil core’s soul was easy.
“Damnable human race, you’ll pay the price for this!”
Just at this moment, three of the golden creatures appeared, flying over.
Long Chen’s expression changed slightly. Amongst those three, two had similar auras to the Foundation Forging realm, but there was one whose body was shining like a golden sun. It was an expert on the Jade Core realm. Long Chen sensed a sensation of mortal danger from it.
“Chang Hao, open the formation. Buping, you unleash a full-strength attack at them to buy me some time.”
Long Chen’s eyes began to shine as he saw these three terrifying creatures coming. He put away the black pot. With his left hand holding the elbow of his right arm, he raised his right hand into the air. Flame energy began to circulate, and chanting filled the air.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao immediately followed his directions. One charged at the formation, while one stood in front of Long Chen. They both raised their swords high into the air. Two huge sword-images pierced into the sky. Heaven and earth began to shake.
“Split the Heavens 4!”
Chapter 1271 Screwed
Bao Buping and Chang Hao attacked at the same time, unleashing unprecedented power at this moment of life and death. One attacked the formation, while one attacked the creatures.
“Split the Heavens 4!”
Two huge heaven-splitting blades mercilessly slashed down from the sky.
Bao Buping’s Sword Qi shot straight toward those three golden creatures.
BOOM! The Jade Core creature at the front snorted. Its golden claw closed around Bao Buping’s Sword Qi, blowing it apart.
But Bao Buping’s power with the Battle God Blessing was also terrifying.
The golden creature was knocked back several meters by it, and their advancement was stalled for a moment. Even the other two golden creatures were knocked back by the first.
“Inferior human race, face your deaths!”
The one at the front roared, and a powerful sound wave shook heaven and earth. This voice contained boundless killing intent. It shot toward Long Chen.
The instant Bao Buping attacked, Chang Hao’s sword slashed into the formation. What delighted Bao Buping was that this powerful formation actually did tear open.
In truth, this formation was extremely powerful. Let alone a Foundation Forging disciple, even a Soul Transformation expert’s full-strength attack wouldn’t be able to tear it open.
However, the nine forms of Split the Heavens possessed the will to break apart the heavens. Thus, Split the Heavens possessed an extremely strong barrier-breaki
ng effect.
The Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s magical arts were very powerful, but they didn’t dare to show off in front of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect. Why? Because the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s disciples had Split the Heavens! When they used the Battle God Blessing, they could ignore all their magic shields and hack them to death.
That was why this formation, which even Soul Transformation experts would be helpless against, would tear open through Chang Hao’s attack.
“Quick, run!”
Chang Hao shouted to Bao Buping and Long Chen. As soon as this tear formed, the formation began to slowly close. It would take less than a breath’s time before it was fully restored.
Bao Buping immediately rushed over. At this time, those golden creatures were also getting closer.
“None of you will get away!”
The Jade Core creature roared, and its body suddenly unleashed blinding light. Like a sun, it covered the entire world in golden runes. Heaven and earth froze. This was an extremely terrifying power.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao felt like a mountain had suddenly crashed down on them, and each step was incomparably difficult to take. They couldn’t help being shocked. Just what kind of power was this?
“If we don’t leave, will you treat us to a meal?” Within this world of golden runes, there was only one spot without them. That spot had a violet sphere like a star that shattered the runes.
Long Chen was standing in the air, a three-hundred-meter sphere in his hand. Like a god of flames, he appeared unspeakably domineering. The violet sphere was like the sun, while the golden runes were like snow, instantly melting away. The entire golden world was affected and starting to twist.
“Well, based on your conduct, I’d say you didn’t prepare any good food for us. Then nevermind, we’re very busy. You can go back. Ah, you know… after taking so much of your stuff, I’d feel bad not leaving you with something. Please take this insignificant gift. There’s no need to thank me.”
Long Chen tossed out the huge sphere at the powerful golden creature. “Star Fall!”
The sphere contained boundless destructive power. It was like a star that had reached the end of its life and was about to erupt with its final light.
The Jade Core creature hastily fled. It was unknown what it was shouting, but Long Chen could guess it was telling the other creatures to run.
BOOM!
But they had still underestimated this mysterious magical art that came from the Xuantian Catalog. With the added power of the Nirvana Scripture, the explosion of the violet sphere caused flames to devour the world. Instead of golden runes, this world became filled with a sea of flames.
Those ordinary creatures would be instantly turned to ash, and the elites would last for a breath before dying.
Only the golden creatures survived. But their golden bodies had turned black from the flames. While they were able to block the attack, the power of the explosion knocked the two Foundation Forging golden creatures unconscious.
Only the Jade Core creature, who had fled far away from the core explosion region of Star Fall, had managed to survive intact. But if it had been struck head-on, it knew it would probably have been killed.
Just after Star Fall exploded, over ten incredibly terrifying auras rose in the distance. A group of huge figures were rushing over.
These figures were also golden, but they were now thirty meters tall. Their pressure caused heaven and earth to shake. As soon as they arrived, the surviving golden creature didn’t dare to even move.
Seeing everything here had been turned into a charred land of death, those creatures let out heaven-shaking roars of fury.
One of them had scarlet eyes and stamped on the ground. The ground shattered beneath it, while it shot at the formation like a shooting star.
At this time, the tear Chang Hao had made had increased in size due to the power of Star Fall. Furthermore, the formation seemed to have broken because of it, and its self-repairing ability had disappeared. It was like a person who didn’t even know how to close their mouth after being slapped in the face.
The other creatures were shocked to see one of them charge past the formation. They hastily flew over to stop that one, but they were too late.
That terrifying creature charged into the darkness, chasing after Long Chen.
Long Chen, Bao Buping, and Chang Hao were fleeing as fast as they could. After unleashing Star Fall, Long Chen had hidden on the other side of the formation with the other two. Star Fall’s destructive power had mainly stayed on the outside, so the three of them weren’t injured.
But they all suddenly felt a sensation of mortal danger lock onto them.
“Life Star realm?!” The three of them were shocked. This aura was clearly something only someone on the Life Star level could possess.
Long Chen looked back, and his hair stood on end. He saw a thirty-meter figure rapidly getting closer. Its speed was ten times greater than theirs.
“Fuck, there’s no need to be so courteous as to send us off, right?!” cursed Long Chen. Lightning wings appeared on his back, and the King item boots on his feet lit up. He pushed his speed to his peak while grabbing Bao Buping and Chang Hao.
Being pulled by Long Chen, Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s feet left the ground as they whistled through the air so quickly that they couldn’t even keep their eyes open. Even dragging them, Long Chen’s speed surpassed their peak.
“Damnit! Long Chen, go faster! It’s about to catch up!” Bao Buping looked back just in time to see the giant creature get even closer to them. It was about to catch up, causing their faces to turn green.
Perhaps they would have the slightest urge to fight if it was just a Soul Transformation creature. But in front of this terrifying monster, they didn’t even have a desire to fight. That was an existence on the level of the old man.
Long Chen clenched his teeth and fled for his life. His legs were like two rapidly spinning wheels.
But even so, he couldn’t compare to that creature’s speed. It was still catching up.
“Fuck, when we came, the distance was so short! Why is it so far now that we’re going back?!” cursed Long Chen. When they had come, they hadn’t felt this space to be so big. But even after rushing for so long, they hadn’t reached it.
What Long Chen didn’t know was that this place also had a formation. Coming in was easy, because the formation shortened the distance so that anyone would quickly enter Devil Spirit Mountain.
But when leaving, the formation wouldn’t help. So it felt like the distance had increased by a hundred times from the entrance to the formation.
“We’re screwed! Long Chen, your legs are too short!” Bao Buping lamented. That creature’s legs were fifteen meters long, so Long Chen was truly at a disadvantage in a race.
“DIE!” That creature suddenly roared and its forehead split open. An arrow shot out at Long Chen.
Now, that creature was less than three thousand meters away, and they were now in its attack range. If this attack landed, the three of them would be instantly turned to dust.
“Pot, it’s all on you!” Long Chen threw Bao Buping and Chang Hao to the side while he took out a black pot. He smashed it into the attack.
BOOM!
A heaven-shaking explosion erupted and space crumbled. The three of them felt like a mountain had smashed into them, and they tumbled back into the distance, violently hacking up blood.
They didn’t know how far they rolled. Their heads were buzzing. Suddenly, a clanking noise rang out as the black pot landed in front of Long Chen, still spinning.
Seeing it was fine, Long Chen was delighted. The pot was too amazing. It was actually able to block such a terrifying attack.
“Die!”
Long Chen had just blessed his luck that the pot was so strong when a furious roar rang out. That terrifying creature arrived in front of them, unleashing a terrifying fist that sealed all of heaven and earth.
Their expressions chang
ed. This terrifying creature fundamentally wasn’t something they could handle. Long Chen raised the pot again.
Suddenly, space quivered. A blood-colored light soared into the sky, looking like a bloody sun that lit up the world.
Chapter 1272 The Sovereign Blood Seal Displays its Power
As soon as that blood-colored light appeared, the creature’s killing intent vanished, and an expression of terror appeared on its face. It immediately turned and fled, not even bothering with Long Chen and the others.
“It’s the Sovereign Blood Seal!”
Long Chen looked at that blood-colored sun in the direction of the Sovereign Blood Seal. At this time, it was unleashing endless light that lit up the world. Divine might filled the entire Devil Spirit Mountain.
The Sovereign Blood Seal’s light spread, enveloping Long Chen’s group of three. Long Chen didn’t sense anything odd from it. He simply felt like warm sunlight was bathing his body.
But that creature was fleeing as if its life depended on it. It was afraid of even being touched by the light.
Despite its speed, it was unable to outrun the divine light. The blood-colored light quickly caught up.
The creature let out an unwilling roar, and golden runes lit up all over its body, protecting it. Long Chen was shocked to see that these golden runes had no actual form. They split apart space to form a terrifying defense.
Long Chen had never seen such terrifying defensive runes. His guess was that this defense was one of the creature’s innate divine abilities.
This absolute defense didn’t have the slightest use against the blood-colored light. The blood-colored light was like lava shooting through snow.
The runes vanished, and the creature let out a miserable scream. In front of their shocked gazes, it was instantly turned to dust.
The three of them felt a burst of fear. Originally, Long Chen had estimated that with this powerful defense, the creature would have a fifty percent chance of escaping alive.
At the very least, it should have been able to struggle somewhat. But now he found that in front of the Sovereign Blood Seal, such a terrifying existence didn’t have the slightest ability to resist.
