“He beat him in one move?!”
“That’s the sect leader of a first-rate sect! Is Long Chen really defying the heavens?”
Long Chen didn’t know who that saber-wielding expert was, but there were quite a few who recognized him in the crowd. And because of that, they were so shocked.
After sending him flying, Long Chen grabbed the pot. It explosively grew, and the sky suddenly turned dark.
BOOM, BOOM!
Two Ancestral items struck the pot, but the two attacking Life Star experts were blown back instead. Although they didn’t cough up blood, their faces were pale from Long Chen’s power.
They had seen Long Chen fighting before they had joined in. But although they had been prepared, only once they personally attacked did they realize how terrifying Long Chen was.
“That pot’s definitely a priceless treasure! If he didn’t have it, he’d be dead!” grumbled someone in the crowd.
At this moment, the pot became three thousand meters wide and smashed toward the gourd-carrying Life Star expert like a shooting star.
This attack was a complete shock for that expert. Long Chen had spun through the air just to store up energy for this attack. As the pot fell, space twisted wildly, and intense rumbling rang out.
The gourd-carrying Life Star expert’s expression changed. In that instant, he felt himself being locked down and unable to dodge.
“Heaven and Earth Shaking Gourd!” He smacked the violet-gold gourd on his back. It rapidly grew larger, and a vague aura of primal chaos appeared. It stood in front of him like a large mountain.
BOOM!
Violet light exploded, covering the sky in violet mist.
“Heavens, the Ancestral item was destroyed!” Startled cries began to ring out from the Life Star experts. Their vision was the sharpest, and they instantly realized that the violet mist was the broken powder of the violet-gold gourd.
That gourd was the core weapon of Gourd Island. It possessed an extremely ancient history. Countless generations of Island Masters had nourished it, and ordinary Ancestral items could not be compared to it.
“Even Life Star experts, as long as they don’t have the Heavenly Dao energy of Empyreans, can only release a limited amount of power from an Ancestral item,” thought Long Chen to himself. In the Spirit World, when he had fought against Peng Wansheng, the latter had managed to unleash the full power of his Ancestral item, causing the pot to crack. It had taken quite some time for it to recover.
As for the enemies he was currently fighting, although they were Life Star experts and powerful Celestials, they were not Empyreans. There was a large difference in the power that they could unleash from their Ancestral items when compared to Peng Wansheng.
Now Long Chen realized that the greater a person’s Heavenly Dao energy, the more power they could unleash from an Ancestral item. As for cultivation base, it was a basic requirement for using an Ancestral item. But Heavenly Dao energy could cause a fundamental change in the Ancestral item.
“Don’t be in such a rush to leave. Let me send you off,” said Long Chen.
The Life Star expert whose gourd had just exploded felt like his head was splitting apart. He let out a mournful wail as he retreated. Perhaps it was due to the implications of having his Ancestral item that was intricately linked to his soul destroyed, but he had lost his sense of direction. Instead of retreating in the opposite direction of Long Chen, he ended up going to Long Chen’s left.
Long Chen swung his pot once more, and the Life Star expert was struck squarely in the center of his body, exploding.
At the same time as his body exploded, his Yuan Spirit attempted to flee. But before it could get far, Long Chen raised his left hand and pointed a single finger. Thunder crackled. “Lightning Finger.”
A lightning arrow shot from Long Chen’s finger, piercing the Life Star expert’s Yuan Spirit. A miserable cry came from him as his Yuan Spirit exploded to dust.
Long Chen bound the pot on his back and began to set off again, continuing his slow pace down the street. He acted like he didn’t even see the three shocked Life Star experts behind him.
“This… is… too arrogant!”
All three Life Star experts had unsightly expressions. They were trembling from rage at being looked down on like this. They were all people with great statuses, but Long Chen was completely ignoring them.
The young disciples in support of Long Chen were all clenching their fists, filled with worship and zealotry.
They were people with ordinary backgrounds and ordinary cultivation bases. But these people all had dreams. They had dreamed of becoming someone like Long Chen countless times, becoming someone who could reach the peak of the cultivation world without relying on any background.
They were still young. They still had hope for their lives. Long Chen was their goal, and their idol.
Now, even with practically all the Eastern Xuan Region’s experts gathered, Long Chen was still walking calmly, treating all those experts as nothing more than thin air. Just how domineering was that?
Three experts on the level of sect masters were holding their weapons, trembling with fury. But they were still hesitating, not daring to attack Long Chen. They were a stark contrast from the fearless Long Chen. Long Chen truly appeared to be an undefeatable battle god who had come to walk the streets of the mortal world. No one could stop his footsteps.
An incense stick’s worth of time quickly passed. Long Chen had already passed the center of the Eastern Xuan City. He was now heading toward a transportation formation near the city gates.
The streets, the buildings, the air, they were all filled with countless experts silently watching him progress. But no one came to stop him.
“Fuck, what are you all waiting for?! Long Chen is intentionally trampling on the dignity of all the experts of the Eastern Xuan Region! If we just let him leave, he’ll create another legend: all the Eastern Xuan Region’s experts are unable to block him. Are you willing to accept such humiliation? He’s just a traitor who destroyed his own sect, a devil who slaughters friend and foe! As for you all, aren’t you envoys of justice? Don’t you even have the courage to stop him? If you let Long Chen peacefully walk out of the Eastern Xuan Region, it’ll become the greatest humiliation of your lives!” roared a Life Star expert.
This Life Star expert’s roar ended up startling awake quite a few people. This was true. Long Chen was doing this to intimidate all the Eastern Xuan Region’s experts. If they let him do as he pleased, none of them would ever be able to walk with their heads raised again.
To be frightened to the point of not even being able to muster the courage to block a Jade Core disciple, the Eastern Xuan Region would become the laughingstock of the Central Plains.
“He’s right! Don’t have any misgivings! We’re all warriors of the Righteous path, and our mission is to eliminate devils! For righteousness, for justice, for the Eastern Xuan Region’s peace and unity, we definitely can’t allow Long Chen to walk out alive!” A Life Star expert, who seemed to be from the Righteous path, wearing sapphire-blue robes and a scholar’s band, suddenly walked out and shouted, his voice full of bewitching power.
“We can’t let Long Chen leave alive!”
“Long Chen must die! Otherwise, what would happen to justice? Righteousness?”
“All sect master-level experts, attack together! Slay this devil for the Eastern Xuan Region!”
Countless experts began to roar, and a terrifying pressure filled the air.
In the distance, there were several large war chariots with Magical Beasts pulling them. They were all terrifying eleventh rank Magical Beasts.
Yet, they simply stopped in the air, silently watching what was happening here. The war chariots had formations present that blocked people from seeing who was inside.
The people in the city were all waiting for them to attack, but the people inside the war chariots never made a move. The people in the city could no longer wait.

sp; “Long Chen, you heinous fiend, today will be the day of your death!”
Over ten Life Star experts attacked. At the same time, more Life Star experts behind them rushed over.
All the experts with weaker cultivation bases retreated, afraid of being caught up in it. At this moment, dozens of Life Star experts surrounded Long Chen, blocking off all his paths of retreat.
“You should think this through. I’ll warn you one last time. Those who attack me will have to pay a terrifying price!” Long Chen slowly stopped, looking coldly at the experts attacking him.
“Arrogant brat, why don’t you say those words to the dead people of the Xuantian Dao Sect!”
A sword-wielding Life Star expert sneered and attacked Long Chen. He was an enemy of the Xuantian Dao Sect, and Long Chen recognized him. He had once come with Pill Valley to threaten the Xuantian Dao Sect.
“I’ve already said what I had to say. Now, it’s time to do what I have to do.”
Long Chen stamped down on the ground. Lightning wings appeared on his back, and his speed suddenly skyrocketed as he went to greet that expert.
“Let the festival of carnage begin!”
Blood splashed.
Chapter 1483 Finally Here
The pot blocked the Life Star expert’s sword, while a lightning blade suddenly appeared and slashed through his body.
The immense power directly cut him in two. Previously, Long Chen had been using the pot as his weapon. For him to switch to a sudden lightning blade caught this person off-guard, and he was struck.
“Save me!” The Life Star expert cried out in horror. Terrifying thunderforce invaded his body, paralyzing him. He couldn’t even run.
Most terrifying of all, his Heavenly Dao energy was actually unable to suppress this thunderforce. Filled with terror, he begged to be saved.
What saved him was Long Chen’s lightning blade. It clearly cut off his head, saving him from his current predicament.
As he killed this Life Star expert, three other attacks reached him. However, they were too slow to save him.
“Long Chen, who could believe you didn’t destroy the Xuantian Dao Sect when you’re so vicious?!” raged an expert.
“I’ve already explained that whether or not you want to believe me is your own problem. But if you want to kill me, do you expect me to not attack back? Attacking me is simply natural, but me attacking you becomes vicious? Fuck your mother, just die!” Long Chen roared and smashed with the pot, shattering the three attacks. Thunderforce circulated on his feet, and he charged toward the person who had cursed him for being vicious. A lightning blade slashed down.
BOOM! That expert resisted with his full power, and his Ancestral item staff was activated. But he was shocked to find that Long Chen was even more powerful than he had imagined. His lightning blade was not one whit inferior to an Ancestral item. But suddenly, the lightning blade exploded into a sky-full of lightning runes.
“Not good!” That person’s expression completely changed. When the lightning blade exploded into runes, they transformed into a lightning net that trapped him.
He smashed his staff into the lightning net to break free, but at this moment, Long Chen’s pot came smashing at him.
BANG!
Long Chen’s great physical strength was put on full display. That Life Star expert could only make a hasty block, but the lightning net was also numbing his body and affecting his power. The power of this block was less than eighty percent of his normal power, and as a result, his head was smashed by the pot.
His Yuan Spirit didn’t even have a chance to flee before thunderforce devoured it, killing him. Another Life Star expert was slain, and his Ancestral item was taken by Long Chen.
“That’s… terrifying.”
Whether it was those jealous of Long Chen, those who worshipped him, or whether they were purely experts who had come to watch the fun, they were all shocked.
A total of thirty-eight Life Star experts had attacked at the same time, but in the first clash, Long Chen killed two of them.
Originally, they had thought that Long Chen wouldn’t even be able to last a breath’s time when surrounded by thirty-eight Life Star experts. But now Long Chen had used his thunderforce to kill two of them. That was outside everyone’s predictions.
BOOM! Long Chen received the attack of five Life Star experts at once, and their combination attack ended up blowing Long Chen away.
As he was knocked back, a sharp sword appeared where he was going. It stabbed through his back all the way to the hilt.
The attacker was an extremely experienced expert who had first calculated Long Chen’s path and placed his sword where Long Chen wouldn’t see it, just waiting for Long Chen to be thrown onto it.
That was why Long Chen wouldn’t sense anything, and the moment he was struck, the power accumulated in the sword would burst forth. No matter how fast Long Chen’s reflexes were, there was no way he could do anything.
The majority of the people were about to cheer that Long Chen was definitely dead. There was also a small portion that sighed in regret and some who tightly clenched their fists. They were Long Chen’s worshippers. If he died, the legend in their hearts would be destroyed. They couldn’t accept that reality.
“Long Chen, you’ve finally paid the price for your foolishness and arrogance. Remember, youngsters shouldn’t be too arrogant.” The master of the sword sneered. His body felt a bit numb, but he didn’t pay attention to it.
“If they weren’t arrogant, would they still be youngsters? Are they supposed to be like an old ghost like you, only knowing how to play little tricks?” Long Chen didn’t turn back. He looked at the sword piercing out of his chest with a faint smile.
At this moment, a startled cry rang out from the distance. But everyone was focused on the stabbed Long Chen, so they didn’t care.
“Even before your death, you refuse to repent. Then you can just die!” sneered that person. The power within his sword erupted. But his expression suddenly changed, as he found that the energy in his body had been sucked dry. He couldn’t bring out the slightest bit of power.
“Do you know? When you scheme against others, others also scheme against you. Old ghost, remember, arrogant people have the power to back it up. Those arrogant people without the power to back it up have long since died,” said Long Chen indifferently.
That Life Star expert looked down in horror. At some unknown time, a lightning spear had appeared in Long Chen’s hand.
This lightning spear had stabbed through the expert’s stomach without him even realizing it. There was no pain, only a slightly numb feeling. Even if he wasn’t staring right at it, he wouldn’t even notice.
“You…”
Only at this moment did he suddenly recall that he had felt the tiniest twitch in his abdomen when his sword had stabbed through Long Chen. It had to have been at that time that he had been struck.
This lightning spear wasn’t very long, and it hadn’t pierced through his body. However, it had pierced his Dantian, which was the source of his energy. Although he had stabbed Long Chen, he was unable to unleash his power.
“Old ghost, we’re all busy, so I won’t say too many words of goodbye. I’ll just send you off.”
BANG!
The lightning spear suddenly grew, and the Life Star expert exploded. Now everyone else finally saw the lightning spear in Long Chen’s hand.
Long Chen forced the sword out of his chest and threw it into the primal chaos space. With the pot present, once the master of an Ancestral item was slain, the Ancestral item wouldn’t even dare to resist.
“A… another one…”
The spectators gulped. At first, they had felt that Long Chen was doomed. They hadn’t thought that he had intentionally taken this sword in order to kill that Life Star expert. What a terrifying scheme!
“His body was pierced by an Ancestral item! There’s no way he can heal quickly! Attack together; he won’t be able to last much longer!”
/> Following one expert’s cry, the others attacked once more. They had noticed that Long Chen’s injury had yet to recover. Clearly, taking that attack hadn’t been so simple. He was very likely heavily injured.
The experts once more attacked, and the power of Ancestral items raged through the air. Long Chen held the pot in his left hand and a lightning blade in his right, fighting against them all alone.
His power was extremely terrifying, and each smash of his pot required several people to work together to receive it. As for his lightning blade, its thunderforce meant that anyone who tried to receive it alone would be paralyzed and fall into an extremely dangerous position.
So all these experts had to work together for both offense and defense. But as people on the level of first-rate sect masters, they were used to fighting alone. They rarely worked together with anyone, resulting in them being thrown into chaos as Long Chen swept through them.
Another Life Star expert was slain by Long Chen’s lightning blade, but that revealed an opening that allowed someone else to stab a spear through Long Chen’s ribs. Fresh blood flowed out.
“This Long Chen, why isn’t he healing?” Seeing Long Chen be repeatedly injured but not heal made people feel curious.
“Do you not remember? Long Chen isn’t a Celestial and can’t use Heavenly Dao energy to heal,” said someone else.
As soon as someone said this, everyone recalled that Long Chen wasn’t a Celestial. He was some sort of cultivation oddity. Back then, Pill Valley had accused him of being a Heaven-Seizer, but that was later proven to be false. So in the end, he was simply known as a freak of the cultivation world.
His divine ring was out, but there wasn’t the slightest bit of Heavenly Dao energy circulating within it. They quickly concluded that without Heavenly Dao energy, he wouldn’t be able to heal the injuries left by Ancestral items, and so he would be quickly defeated.
“Everyone, don’t panic! As long as we exhaust him, he’ll definitely die! He-” reminded a thin elder.
“Watch out!” Just at this moment, Long Chen borrowed his momentum from someone else’s attack to spin toward the thin elder, his lightning blade mercilessly slashing down.
