  The light between his eyebrows glowed brightly. Within it was a figure that was constantly flashing.

  Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, and eight golden spears condensed behind him. Each of them was huge. All their sharp tips were pointed at the distant Long Chen.

  “Now do you know the difference between us? I’ve already condensed a Yuan Spirit and am a true Soul Transformation expert. Empyreans are different from Celestials. For Celestials, condensing a Yuan Spirit is like a second life. They can survive even if their physical bodies are destroyed, and their Yuan Spirits even have a bit of power to fight. But Empyreans can use their Yuan Spirits to form hand seals for their true body to unleash magical arts. The two work together during combat. How will you fight me now?” Lu Qingfeng laughed coldly. The eight huge golden spears shot toward Long Chen.

  The eight spears caused the sky to crumble as they pierced through it. This was yet another powerful magical art, and its power was even greater than the previous one.

  “So that’s the case. So that’s the strongest point of the Soul Transformation realm.” Long Chen looked at the light coming from Lu Qingfeng’s forehead. Within it, he finally saw a tiny figure constantly forming hand seals. As it made hand seals, the eight spears blazed with light.

  “Divine ring!”

  A five-colored divine ring appeared in the air behind Long Chen as he smashed the first spear with his fist.

  The spear exploded. Long Chen punched seven more times, destroying the rest of the spears.

  He had just destroyed the spears when a crescent blade flew by his neck, almost cutting his head off.

  “How fast!” Long Chen’s expression changed as he looked into the distance with a touch of killing intent in his eyes.

  “Fast? This isn’t fast yet! I’ll let you see what is true-”

  Pow!

  Just as Lu Qingfeng was sneering at him, Long Chen vanished and a large hand slapped across Lu Qingfeng’s face, sending him flying.

  “Idiot, I wasn’t talking about you.” Long Chen suddenly took out Evilmoon, and five stars appeared in his eyes.

  Chapter 1530 Just a Bit Off

  At first, it had looked like Long Chen was at an absolute disadvantage against Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng unleashed powerful magical arts in an instant, and that crescent blade of his had almost cut Long Chen’s head off. But in the blink of an eye, Long Chen had appeared in front of him and sent him flying with a slap, shocking everyone.

  Furthermore, it was a mystery what Long Chen was referring to when he said ‘how fast’. No one knew what he was talking about.

  “I didn’t even manage to test how strong you are, but there’s no time for that.” Long Chen suddenly let out a thunderous roar. It was like the roar of a dragon, shaking the heavens. The divine ring behind him rapidly spun, and five stars revolved in his eyes. With the green dragon scales covering his body, he was like an infuriated devil god.

  Evilmoon slashed out like a bolt of lightning at Lu Qingfeng while he was still in the midst of flying back. Black ripples spread through the air, and a dense killing intent locked onto him.

  Lu Qingfeng was completely taken by surprise. He had been suppressing Long Chen so hard just now, but things had reversed in an instant. While he was still caught off-guard, Long Chen had unleashed such a powerful attack.

  “Magnetic Light Protection, Yin and Yang Together!”

  Sensing this powerful sensation of death, Lu Qingfeng hastily formed hand seals, summoning a set of copper cymbals.

  There was an image on each cymbal, one black and one white. They looked to be a kind of fish.

  The small light figure on his head also formed hasty hand seals. In a flash, the energy of heaven and earth gathered toward the cymbals.

  These cymbals were called the Yin Yang Dual Cymbals, and they were incredibly powerful Ancestral items. Through Yin and Yang, they possessed a great magnetic power. They could combine the Yin and Yang energies of the world.

  “So what if you have a divine item? In front of me, it’s still not enough!” shouted Lu Qingfeng. A huge whirlpool of black and white light appeared in front of him. The two cymbals crashed together.

  The huge whirlpool exploded, and two Yin and Yang fish smashed toward Long Chen.

  Long Chen’s black saber-image struck the two fish and exploded. The ground around them cracked apart, and dust surged into the sky.

  Lu Qingfeng had managed to block Long Chen’s attack. But he was appalled.

  These Ancestral items could unleash great power in his hands, but he had almost coughed up blood from that exchange. He was completely shocked by Long Chen’s power.

  Just as he was trying to stabilize himself and see if Long Chen had been injured or not, a multi-colored light filled the world.

  A lightning dragon and a flame dragon roared. One was made of golden flames, while the other was made of five-colored lightning. They enveloped him.

  “This is-!” Lu Qingfeng’s expression sank. He didn’t recognize the Heaven Incinerating Flame, but he noticed the five-colored lightning.

  Sensing a chilling threat from the five-colored lightning, Lu Qingfeng knew he couldn’t allow it to touch him.

  “Yin and Yang become one, heaven and earth merge, the sun and moon shine together!” Lu Qingfeng threw his cymbals into the air and formed rapid hand seals as he chanted. The small figure of light on his head followed his exact movements. Their voices came together, rumbling through heaven and earth.

  Light exploded from the cymbals, forming a huge defensive sphere around him. The sphere of light had countless black and white fish swimming over it, and it rapidly grew stronger as it absorbed more energy from the world.

  Lei Long and Huo Long wrapped around the sphere, wanting to crush it. But the endless fish were rapidly absorbing energy from the world. Although Lei Long and Huo Long were using their full power, the sphere continued to grow larger.

  “Hmph, an insignificant trick. I would be embarrassed to show such a thing off!” mocked Lu Qingfeng. “Break!”

  The two dragons were blown away as the sphere exploded. They were blown into runes.

  “Didn’t I already say that in front of me, you’re just trash?” Lu Qingfeng was sneering when a huge saber-image pierced into the sky. A terrifying pressure caused the world to turn still.

  “Split the Heavens 5!” Evilmoon hacked down. The huge saber-image blew apart the clouds in the sky.

  The previous attack was a preparation for this. Long Chen had no time to test Lu Qingfeng’s power.

  The huge saber-image was like the blade of a death god cutting through all restrictions or laws. This was Long Chen’s full-strength attack.

  Lu Qingfeng was shocked. Now he realized that Long Chen’s previous attack had just been to stall for time for this move.

  He then spat out a mouthful of blood. The two cymbals smashed together once more and grew rapidly, becoming a huge mountain in front of him.

  BOOM!

  Long Chen’s saber struck the huge cymbals. They were cut in two, and the saber-image continued onward to Lu Qingfeng.

  When the cymbals were broken, Lu Qingfeng coughed up blood and let out a pained roar. His soul was injured, as it was intimately connected to his Ancestral items. Having suffered such a backlash, he lost any ability to defend.

  Long Chen was delighted, but just at that moment, a golden spear pierced through the void, breaking his attack.

  It was a divine item. Furthermore, it was not unfamiliar to Long Chen. He had been attacked by it back when he had been trapped at the Sha family.

  “Fuck, these bastards are really fast,” cursed Long Chen. When he had been testing Lu Qingfeng and said that something was too fast, he wasn’t talking about Lu Qingfeng’s attacks but these people.

  He had sensed danger approaching, as well as Evilmoon’s warning. That was why he had been forced to attack without testing Lu Qingfeng’s power.

  Regretfully, he had been a bit too slow. Not being able to kill him made Lo
ng Chen sigh in vexation.

  Suddenly, Long Chen slashed the air in the sky. A huge light barrier appeared where he had struck, one that was covering the world. But as a result of his slash, a huge hole appeared in the barrier, and Long Chen sped through it.

  “Pill Valley idiots, did you think I would fall for the same thing twice?” sneered Long Chen as he flew out.

  Over ten figures appeared in the sky, and one of them was holding a diagram. It was Pill Valley’s divine item, the Brahma Divine Diagram.

  Last time, he had fallen for their trap. He had been sent into the Brahma Divine Diagram’s world without even realizing it and almost died.

  Now that they tried the same thing, he immediately launched an attack, striking it while its divine energy was at its weakest and breaking out of the seal.

  “Long Chen, you bastard, die!” A voice filled with rancor rang out. A magical staff waved through the air, and a huge net enveloped Long Chen. It was Qi Yunao.

  “If an idiot like you hasn’t died, why should I?” sneered Long Chen, slashing Evilmoon out.

  Evilmoon’s black dragon marks lit up slightly, and it easily cut through the net.

  Long Chen was a bit surprised. He clearly sensed that Qi Yunao’s Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff’s power had weakened from last time. Was this the backlash of having its karmic luck dissipate?

  This sudden change caught everyone else off-guard. In just these few exchanges, the power of the divine items made them feel miniscule like ants. They didn’t even dare to move.

  Whether it was the experts watching in the distance or the commoners in the city, they were all still. Under the power of divine items, they found it difficult to even blink.

  “You idiots are quite fast, but it’s still not enough to kill me. Just calmly wait for me! I’ll get back everything you owe me sooner or later!” Long Chen’s gaze swept over them.

  Black qi enveloped Long Chen, and his figure became indistinct as Evilmoon brought him away. Even the Brahma Divine Diagram was not able to stop them any longer.

  “Long Chen, if you dare to leave, I will kill everyone in the Grand Xia Ancient Nation!” shouted Qi Yunao.

  Enveloped by the black qi, Long Chen looked coldly at Qi Yunao and shook his head. “If that’s your choice, then I can express my regret. If you do that, I won’t be able to kill you.”

  After saying that, he vanished, escaping from all these experts just like that.

  “This is all because of the Grand Xia Ancient Nation! The Grand Xia must pay the price!”

  Lu Qingfeng’s expression sank. He flew in front of the capital, and with a cold shout, a huge runic blade slashed toward the city walls.

  Chapter 1531 The High Priest Interferes

  “Bastard, do you think there’s no one who can stand up against you in the Grand Xia?!” Xia Yunchong raged. This Lu Qingfeng was actually casting his anger on the Grand Xia after having suffered at Long Chen’s hands.

  Xia Yunchong was about to attack, while within the palace, Xia Yuyang had a golden seal in his hand, ready to activate the grand formation.

  However, before the two of them could do anything, the sky split apart, and a huge butcher’s blade slashed down at Lu Qingfeng.

  Lu Qingfeng’s attack was shattered by the butcher blade, and he sent tumbling into the distance, coughing up blood wretchedly.

  “Unable to beat Long Chen, you cast your anger on the innocent commoners. Long Chen said you were trash, but he overestimated you. You’re worse than trash.”

  A fat figure with a huge butcher knife appeared. Tu Qianshang seemed bloodthirsty, and he glared at Lu Qingfeng.

  “The Fierce Yang Butcher, Tu Qianshang!”

  Startled cries rang out as people recognized this figure whose name had once shaken the Eastern Xuan Region, a figure who had slain countless ancient race experts, becoming the most famous existence of his time.

  Wielding a butcher’s blade that was even larger than he was, Lu Qianshang pointed at the people before him. “If you want to kill Long Chen, no one will bother you. But if you try to use the Grand Xia’s commoners to threaten Long Chen, don’t blame me for being merciless with my butcher’s blade.”

  “Arrogance! Who do you think you are?!” Qi Yunao didn’t recognize Tu Qianshang. Although he had been a sect master, he wasn’t very old, and he was someone who didn’t care about old legends. Seeing a random fatty appear in front of him, he waved his staff, and divine light lit up the sky, transforming into a huge tiger that pounced at Tu Qianshang.

  Tu Qianshang suddenly took out a jug of wine and gulped a few mouthfuls of it. After tossing it aside, people saw that his eyes had turned completely red. He slashed the tiger with his butcher’s blade.

  BOOM!

  The tiger exploded, and the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff in Qi Yunao’s hand trembled. “How is that possible? He used mortal power against divine energy?” Qi Yunao was shocked. His arm had almost broken from that exchange.

  “Be careful everyone. The Wine God Palace’s disciples have a secret art that can allow them to draw on the blessing of their Wine God while they’re in a drunken state. They can temporarily gain some divine power,” warned a white-haired elder who had come with Qi Yunao and the others.

  Most of these people were familiar faces to Long Chen. There was the Sha family head, the Peng race’s leader, and the Flame Divine Palace’s vice palace master. There were only six people that he didn’t recognize. The rest were people who had attacked in the Sha family.

  At this time, the vice palace master was standing behind the white-haired elder. The Brahma Divine Diagram, which he had been in control of last time, was now in the white-haired elder’s hands.

  This white-haired elder was the Flame Divine Palace’s master. As soon as he had received news that Long Chen had appeared in the Grand Xia Ancient Nation, he had not hesitated to use a huge amount of energy to activate the Brahma Divine Diagram and tear through the void to reach here. He didn’t even bother with transportation formations.

  In the end, Long Chen still got away. But as the palace master, he had great experience and immediately recognized Tu Qianshang’s current state.

  At this time, Tu Qianshang began a fight with a different expert with a sword. That sword was also a divine item, and after a brief exchange, both sides retreated, having tied.

  However, when they retreated, everyone saw that there was a fist-sized nick in Tu Qianshang’s blade.

  “Well, after all, that’s not a divine item. No matter how strong an Ancestral item is, it can’t contend against divine items,” the elder from the Huayun Sect sighed with pity.

  It wasn’t that Tu Qianshang wasn’t strong enough but that he didn’t have a divine item. Naturally, he was at a disadvantage.

  “Either scram, or die!” Qi Yunao came flying over with the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff, and divine light was blazing from its head. He had activated all its power.

  If Tu Qianshang refused to dodge, then with his already damaged butcher’s blade, he might very well just be killed with this one attack. After all, the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff’s power was not something an ordinary divine item could compare to.

  Suddenly, the sky trembled, and a ray of light shot out from deep within the city. It instantly reached in front of Tu Qianshang and struck Qi Yunao’s staff.

  A powerful explosion rocked the sky. Qi Yunao’s arms exploded, while the Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff shot far into the distance due to that ray of light.

  Qi Yunao’s body became covered with cracks, and he coughed up three mouthfuls of blood before fainting, falling from the air.

  Everyone, including the palace master, was shocked. That was especially true when they saw what the ray of light was.

  It was not a warhammer. It was not a divine spear. It was a very small, almost imperceptible object. It was emerald green, and it floated in the air after blowing away the staff. It… it was a small wine cup.

  Yes, a small wine cup. It had no di
vine presence to it, simply an ordinary wine cup. However, it had sent the famous Violet Gold Soul Devouring Staff flying, and it wasn’t damaged in the slightest.

  “Young people shouldn’t be so angry. Why must you fight to the point of either you die or I die? Life is precious, and the Dao is boundless. Just fighting to cross the Dao is an endless journey, so why must you waste time on such nonsensical struggles? Why not drink a cup of wine and relax?” An aged voice rang out. It was calm, without the slightest anger, and sounded like the advice of a kind elder.

  “The Wine God Palace’s High Priest!”

  The palace master and the others’ expressions all changed. Perhaps only the Wine God Palace’s High Priest had the ability to send a divine item flying with an empty cup.

  “Senior High Priest, this matter has nothing to do with the Wine God Palace…” said the Flame Divine Palace’s palace master.

  Before the High Priest could reply, Tu Qianshang cursed, “Don’t spout bullshit, how is it not related to the Wine God Palace? If it weren’t for your Pill Valley supporting those brats from the Grand Han, would they be so arrogant as to come bully the Grand Xia? You were clearly testing the attitude of the Wine God Palace, and now, you’ve succeeded. We’ll express our attitude right here and now! Although we do not interfere in the struggles of the world, we are not so easily bullied. Perhaps others might be afraid of Pill Valley, but the Wine God Palace is not. Although we only have three thousand true disciples, if Pill Valley wants to play, then we’ll properly play with you!”

  The Huayun Sect’s elder smiled. He didn’t know why Pill Valley would be so foolish as to antagonize everyone. Now they had done it. Even the Wine God Palace had been provoked by them.

  “High Priest, is this the attitude of your Wine God Palace?” demanded the Flame Divine Palace’s palace master coldly.

  “The attitude of any of my disciples is the attitude of my Wine God Palace. Go back and tell Yu Xiaoyun that the current era is not the old era. No one can control it. If anyone tries, no matter what support they have, the only conclusion will be a miserable death,” said the High Priest lightly. But his position was clear.
