  Long Chen also found it laughable. He was smiling just like them, but his smile was very strange. He indifferently said, “Peng Wansheng, do you remember when you said Favored were commoners, Celestials were officials, and Empyreans were crown princes? Back then, I was very puzzled. If you are the crown prince, who is the emperor? But now I know that it’s the Heavenly Daos. So today, I want to see just how much this emperor really loves you.”

  Long Chen suddenly charged at the tribulation clouds again, and black light shot out of his saber, stabbing into it.

  “Will you refuse to attack your sons? Fuck, where did all your vigor go when you were attacking me? Garbage thing, do you need me to slap you? Split the Heavens 4!”

  Now Long Chen was no longer just using ordinary attacks, but the power of Split the Heavens.

  BOOM!

  The tribulation clouds were split in two. In that instant, the world suddenly froze and lost all sound.

  Up in the sky, the only thing people saw was Long Chen holding Evilmoon, coldly looking at the dome of the heavens. That sight would never be forgotten by anyone who saw it.

  BOOM!

  The sky suddenly exploded, and the world turned dark. The sun was completely gone. Endless heavenly might fell, and the air felt like it had vanished. Even in the city, people were suffocating.

  The tribulation clouds no longer gathered. Instead, huge cracks appeared in the clouds, and what came from those clouds was endless five-colored lightning.

  “It’s five-colored tribulation lightning! Long Chen has completely infuriated the heavens! Now even they might not be able to escape. The tribulation will not differentiate between friend and foe.” The beautiful woman in the carriage looked at this with shock.

  Chapter 1493 Fighting Against Heavenly Geniuses

  The legendary five-colored tribulation lightning was a destructive lightning, one that could destroy anything in the world. Anything that had been locked onto by five-colored divine lightning would be annihilated.

  In the cultivation world, the most solemn oath was sworn on being struck by five-colored lightning. Beneath five-colored lightning, you would be destroyed in body and soul.

  And now, up in the sky, five-colored tribulation lightning was pouring out of the crack Long Chen had cut in the sky. It rapidly spread, filling the sky.

  Even as far away as the Eastern Xuan City was, the experts were all petrified by the sight of the radiant five-colored lightning. They were afraid that the slightest movement might draw the lightning’s attention and kill them.

  This five-colored lightning was something that only existed in legend. It was recorded in ancient tomes, but no one had ever seen it personally.

  “There’s been different colored lightning before, but not a five-colored one. Good, then let me see whether your love for your three sons will hold when I’m added to the mix.” A cold smile appeared on Long Chen’s face as he looked at the five-colored lightning.

  Long Chen, Ye Qingkuang, Sha Guangyan, and Peng Wansheng were all within the domain of the five-colored lightning. Other than Long Chen, all their expressions changed.

  Not only did their expressions change, but even the expression of Ye Qingkuang’s face became unsightly. Furthermore, two elders also came out of two other carriages, looking at the scene in front of them nervously.

  These two elders came from the ancient races and ancient families. They were extremely powerful, but despite that power, they could only watch from a distance. They didn’t even dare to speak for fear of being locked onto by the lightning.

  “It seems your father is angry. I wonder whether he’ll exterminate all of you just because of a little outsider like me.” Long Chen then slashed his saber at the sky once more in front of everyone’s horrified gazes.

  A huge saber-image created another crack in the tribulation clouds. Along with the previous clash, it formed a huge cross.

  A torrent of five-colored lightning grew even stronger. In the distance, the experts wielding photographic jades had their photographic jades destroyed by some kind of power.

  “Long Chen, you madman! Kill him quickly!” roared Sha Guangyan. He could see that Long Chen didn’t want to live. What he wanted was to bring them all down with him.

  The five-colored tribulation lightning was booming above. It had completely escaped its restrictions, wanting to destroy them as well. Even their status as Empyreans had lost effect against it.

  If they didn’t kill Long Chen immediately and allowed him to continue infuriating the tribulation, they would all be doomed.

  However, before the three of them could attack, the five-colored lightning crashed down. Huge thunderbolts shot down, enveloping Long Chen, Ye Qingkuang, Sha Guangyan, and Peng Wansheng.

  This lightning was incredibly powerful, and it was full of terrifying destructive will. The three of them were forced to go all-out against this lightning. Their bodies were quivering.

  Yet, Long Chen was immersed within the torrent of lightning. The lightning would explode when it landed on him and transform into five-colored runes. That natural and easy appearance was like he was taking a bath, not undergoing tribulation.

  This five-colored lightning was extremely berserk. Each strike was equivalent to the full-strength attack of a normal Life Star expert.

  Most terrifying of all was the destructive will within it. It was something that destroyed a person’s body and mind. It made people feel despair.

  However, this lightning was unable to cause any injuries to Long Chen. After all, since the Blood Condensation realm, Long Chen had repeatedly undergone tribulation. All his experiences had accumulated into a large immunity against lightning. This fatal lightning wasn’t much to him. At the very least, he didn’t have to bother with it at this intensity.

  “Not bad. Long Chen, you have some guts. Now I understand why the Heavenly Daos don’t like you.” Dragonbone Evilmoon sent Long Chen a message. Its voice contained the slightest bit of admiration now.

  Clearly, this fearless courage of Long Chen’s had surprised it a bit. That was because Evilmoon had always looked down on Long Chen personally. It felt Long Chen was too softhearted, but this display made its impression of Long Chen change.

  Evilmoon was rejected by the Heavenly Daos due to undergoing too much slaughter. That was why Long Chen had to use more energy to use Battle Skills with it.

  However, Long Chen was also rejected by the Heavenly Daos, and he even dared to go against them. That won him some praise from Evilmoon, because it didn’t dare to do the same.

  “Long Chen, within this domain of five-colored lightning, no one else can interfere in your battle. I can’t, and they can’t either, including those people in the carriages. No one would dare to activate the power of divine items here. In other words, the four of you will be fighting entirely with your true, personal power. Whether they kill you or you kill them, no one will be able to save anyone,” said Evilmoon.

  “Why is that?” asked Long Chen.

  “This five-colored lightning has condensed endless destructive will. It is independent of the Heavenly Daos, and so it will kill anyone, including Empyreans. But if a divine item was activated within this domain, it would be instantly caught by the Heavenly Daos. This five-colored lightning would instantly become divine lightning. Let alone you four, no one within tens of thousands of miles would exist in that case. So as long as they don’t want to die, none of them will activate their divine items. That would be no different than suicide,” explained Evilmoon.

  “What if someone activates their divine item in panic in order to bring me down with them?” asked Long Chen. He had to get a grasp of this new information.

  “What a joke, do you think divine items can be activated by anyone? Without reaching the Life Star realm and condensing astral energy, how could they activate the power of their divine items? The only exception would be if the divine item wanted to help them, but do you think divine items are stupid? Would they actually be willing to end up destroyi
ng themselves? Let alone them, even those old fellows over there wouldn’t be able to force a divine item to do anything if it didn’t want to. So be at ease,” said Evilmoon a bit irritably.

  Hearing this, Long Chen was delighted. Without the threat of divine items, and with the protection of this five-colored lightning, he could dominate this fight.

  Lei Long had already finished devouring the lightning chains from his last tribulation. It had grown incredibly powerful, and now this five-colored lightning was being silently absorbed by it. It was full of excitement as if it had encountered a peerless delicacy.

  “I’m not in a rush to handle them. Lei Long, do your best to absorb as much of the five-colored lightning as you can, but be careful. For now, don’t get sensed by the tribulation,” said Long Chen.

  He found that the current tribulation was different from before. The first wave of this tribulation was already so terrifying, so Lei Long needed some time to slowly digest this new energy.

  Suddenly, the rain of lightning around him exploded as a staff smashed toward Long Chen. Finally, the three of them had lost patience. Ye Qingkuang was the first to attack.

  At the same time, Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng also launched attacks. Their three divine items were hurling toward Long Chen.

  “I wasn’t in a rush, but it seems these sons have gotten anxious. Then today, let’s have an all-out fight!” Long Chen slashed Evilmoon. His first target was Ye Qingkuang’s Steel Coiling Dragon Staff.

  In terms of power, Ye Qingkuang was fundamentally not a match for Long Chen. He was blown away.

  “Void Breaker!”

  “Heavy Earth Ascension!”

  Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng’s attacks arrived. The runes on Peng Wansheng’s wings were lit, while the earth rune on Sha Guangyan’s forehead was glowing. Down below, the ground began to shine with a dark gold luster. Endless energy was gathering from it.

  Although the two of them weren’t able to activate the power of their divine items, when they unleashed their full power, they also possessed the power to shake heaven and earth. When the two of them combined forces, they seemed unstoppable.

  Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng were feeling an intense sense of crisis. This five-colored lightning was an existence from legend. Just the first wave was already so difficult to bear. Who knew how terrifying it would become later?

  Their status as Empyreans was no longer able to protect them. This heavenly tribulation didn’t care about them. It would kill them all.

  Their only choice was to kill Long Chen before the tribulation reached its strongest level. Otherwise, they would really be in danger.

  The lightning tribulation was Ye Qingkuang’s, but it was Long Chen who had drawn the five-colored lightning. Even if Ye Qingkuang died and the tribulation ended, the five-colored lightning would continue. If Long Chen didn’t die, the five-colored lightning wouldn’t stop.

  Long Chen’s slash met with their two divine items. Lightning exploded as their three divine items were locked together.

  “DIE!” Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng poured their power into their weapons, wanting to send Long Chen flying. This was an extremely important exchange.

  If they could blow Long Chen away, they would take the advantage. Under a torrent of attacks, Long Chen who was forced into a passive position might very likely be defeated just like that.

  However, as they unleashed all their power, they were shocked to find that Long Chen’s power seemed endless. They were unable to shake him in the slightest.

  Just at this moment, Ye Qingkuang came flying back, the Steel Coiling Dragon Staff smashing toward Long Chen’s side.

  “Just wait, it’ll be your turn soon,” snorted Long Chen. Dragonbone Evilmoon shook three times suddenly, and Peng Wansheng and Sha Guangyan felt their wrists almost break. They noticed a portion of their energy being absorbed. As for Long Chen’s saber, it knocked their weapons into the air as it slashed toward Ye Qingkuang.

  “Not good!” Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng’s expressions changed, but it was too late to warn Ye Qingkuang. They could only focus on attacking Long Chen again.

  BOOM!

  Long Chen’s saber viciously slashed into Ye Qingkuang’s staff. As for Sha Guangyan’s sword and Sha Guangyan’s halberd, they landed on Long Chen’s back.

  Chapter 1494 Just a Bit Off

  Dragonbone Evilmoon slashed heavily onto Ye Qingkuang’s Steel Coiling Dragon Staff. Ye Qingkuang’s arms were instantly broken, and the Steel Coiling Dragon Staff smashed into his own body. Blood spurted out of him. His body cracked like porcelain and almost exploded.

  Ye Qingkuang smashed into the ground. It was unknown if he was alive or dead.

  This attack of Long Chen’s hadn’t just contained his own power, but also some of Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng’s. It was incredibly powerful.

  Most terrifying of all was that this attack had not been a Battle Skill. He hadn’t accumulated any energy or shown any signs of using it. Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng hadn’t even had a chance to warn Ye Qingkuang before Long Chen’s attack struck.

  However, as for Long Chen himself, at the same time as he sent Ye Qingkuang flying, his back was struck by Peng Wansheng and Sha Guangyan’s weapons.

  The sound of bones breaking came from his back, and he also coughed up blood and was blown into the distance.

  He had exchanged injury for injury, but it had been planned. Having borrowed and canceled out part of their power, Long Chen got struck by less than thirty percent of it.

  That was why he had dared to take their attacks on his back. But divine items were still divine items, and even when they weren’t releasing their divine might, they heavily injured him.

  However, he didn’t mind. The life energy within the primal chaos space poured through his body, rapidly healing him.

  “Oh? So the power contained within divine items is actually this difficult to expel.” Long Chen found that these injuries required much more energy to heal. Furthermore, they took several times as long.

  Fortunately, his injuries weren’t that grave. Although he didn’t instantly heal, his injuries were suppressed quickly and didn’t affect his movements.

  Lightning wings appeared on Long Chen’s back and he flew toward the one who had smashed into the ground, Ye Qingkuang.

  Injuring ten fingers wasn’t as good as severing one finger. That was why he had taken the risk to exchange injury for injury. He wanted to kill Ye Qingkuang to remove one of his three opponents.

  The three of them were all Empyreans, and they had advanced to Soul Transformation. Furthermore, they were holding three divine items, and so Long Chen’s weapon advantage was nonexistent. When surrounded by the three of them, the slightest mistake would cause him to lose his life, so eliminating one of them as fast as possible was the key to victory.

  Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng were delighted that their weapons had landed. They expected Long Chen to be heavily injured, allowing them to kill him with the next blow.

  However, they quickly saw that Long Chen was still lively and rushing straight toward Ye Qingkuang.

  “Stop him! If any of you dies, the other two will definitely die as well! Within the five-colored lightning, no one can save you-” Ye Qingkuang’s elder shouted from a distance.

  Buzz.

  Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of five-colored lightning struck him.

  It was like divine retribution. The world froze, and no one dared to move, including the experts from the carriages.

  The elder exploded on contact with the lightning.

  Everyone’s hearts shook. That had been a peak Life Star expert, and he had been killed in one blow.

  The five-colored lightning’s power was based on the provoker. Clearly, this elder’s shouting had been captured by the Heavenly Daos and was treated as a provocation of the heavens, resulting in this terrifying blow.

  After that terrifying attack, everyone felt suffocated and panted crazily.

 
; The door to the carriage was opened, and a large figure walked out once more. It was the elder who had just been slain by the five-colored lightning.

  “It was actually a substitute art.” Some people saw through the clues. No wonder this elder had dared to give a warning.

  He had used his substitute art while his true body hid in the carriage. The carriage had a heaven-cheating formation around it to screen off the heavens. So although the substitute was killed, the main body was safe in the carriage.

  However, this elder’s face was now slightly pale. Clearly, the loss of his substitute came with a price.

  However, it had been worth it. Through his warning, Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng realized just how dire their current situation was. Peng Wansheng flapped his wings and instantly vanished, reappearing in front of Long Chen and attacking with his halberd.

  “Scram!” shouted Long Chen. His injuries had mostly healed, and Evilmoon hacked down like a bolt of black lightning.

  BOOM!

  Peng Wansheng’s halberd shook violently, and he was sent flying. In terms of power, he was not even close to Long Chen.

  After blowing him away, Long Chen continued to go after Ye Qingkuang. He could see him covered in blood and terrified.

  Long Chen’s first attack had almost killed him. Now he was using his Heavenly Dao energy to heal, but he was horrified to find that his injuries had some kind of evil energy in them. It was like a curse, constantly worsening his injuries.

  This energy came from Dragonbone Evilmoon’s innate will to slaughter. Because it had slaughtered too many lifeforms, it had been infected with endless resentment.

  As an ancient, evil weapon, it had existed for countless years and had lived for slaughter. Its attacks naturally contained endless resentment. To be injured by it was to be invaded by all that resentment.

  This resentment was the resentment of all the lifeforms that had been slain by it. It was like a curse.

  Ye Qingkuang’s Heavenly Dao energy was going all-out to heal himself, but this terrifying resentment made the healing process too slow. He still couldn’t move and definitely couldn’t receive Long Chen’s next attack.
