“Heaven and Earth Reverse, Stormy Seas Swallow the Sky!”
Huge waves surged out of Di Xin’s manifestation, and those seas superimposed over each other, devouring this space. Within those huge waves were countless water dragons that attacked Long Chen.
Long Chen’s saber fell, and those water dragons were blown apart, filling the sky with water droplets. The saber-image continued forward, breaking through the waves.
However, by the time it reached Di Xin, the majority of its power had been eroded by the huge waves. Di Xin’s water-thorn easily shattered it.
“Long Chen, I didn’t expect you to still be alive.” Di Xin surrounded the area in water, forming a new, giant heavy water domain. Long Chen was also within it.
“The fact that I’m still alive signifies that you will soon be dead.” Long Chen’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He definitely wouldn’t allow anyone to bully his women, not even if they were a god.
“Hahaha, looks like Shen Bijun failed. Good, very good! I wanted to kill you personally from the start. For you to send yourself to me is truly great,” laughed Di Xin.
“No one has time to waste talking to you. Hand over your life.” Long Chen pointed his saber at Di Xin. His aura was slowly condensing. He had abandoned all thoughts of holding back.
Chapter 1653 The Wood Spirit Union Reappears
“You’re the one who will be handing over your life. Within my heavy water domain, I am the ruler. Your speed, your power, they will all sharply drop. What are you going to use to compete against me? If you hadn’t been enveloped by my heavy water domain, perhaps you would have some chance to fight against me, but now, you’ve lost that qualification,” sneered Di Xin. “Each drop of this water weighs half a ton. No one can fight against me within it.”
Di Xin had spread his heavy water domain for thousands of miles, forming a giant globe that enveloped Long Chen, as well as Meng Qi and the others.
This was an incredibly powerful magical art that Di Xin had merged with his manifestation. He had absolute control over this space.
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Cloud, and Liu Ruyan had profoundly experienced the power of this move. There was practically no way to resolve this magical art. It was almost perfect.
Unless you could escape this domain, you would be at a disadvantage no matter how you fought. So Di Xin was fully confident after drawing Long Chen into his domain.
Long Chen’s expression was strangely calm as he looked at Di Xin. Even his previous fury and wildness had vanished, replaced with icy calm. That kind of coldness was frightening.
Long Chen’s divine ring started to slowly revolve, along with the five stars in his eyes.
There were two states to the Five Star Battle Armor. One state was calm while the other state was excited. In the calm state, his energy came at a steady pace. With his current spiritual yuan, he could maintain that state for an incense stick’s worth of time.
As for the excited state, it represented him at full firepower. It was like raising the dams. When unleashing all his power like that, he could only fight for ten breaths’ time. However, his power would instantly be raised to the peak.
The divine ring spun faster and faster until it looked like it was still again, and a pillar of light soared out of Long Chen’s body, blowing apart the clouds. The entire Jade Lake Sacred Land started to shake.
With Long Chen at the center, the light spread until it formed its own domain that forced back the heavy water.
“How is that possible?!” Di Xin immediately sensed that Long Chen was no longer restricted by his domain.
Long Chen shot forward, slashing Di Xin with his saber. He appeared in front of Di Xin instantly.
“You’re unaffected by my domain?! Impossible!” roared Di Xin as he hastily blocked with his water-thorn.
BOOM! Both sides were blown back.
“Haha, so what if you can create your own domain within my domain? Each drop of this water is the strongest magical water essence I’ve been condensing since childhood. I’ve long since merged my Heavenly Dao energy into it. It can constantly absorb energy from the surroundings to replenish my energy, while you will only exhaust yourself within my heavy water domain!” sneered Di Xin after a moment’s shock.
“Ten moves. I’ll kill you within ten moves.”
Long Chen once more shot after Di Xin. Di Xin was infuriated. No one had ever dared to look down on him like this. His water-thorn blazed with divine light. “Long Chen, you’re too arrogant! Let’s just see if you can even receive three of my attacks! Water Dragon Roar!”
Di Xin’s entire body began to shine. The water around him suddenly began to twist and turn. It condensed into many thirty-thousand-meter water dragons that coiled together and charged at Long Chen.
“Split the Heavens 6!”
Long Chen directly unleashed the sixth form of Split the Heavens. His saber-image tore through the heavy water domain.
BOOM!
Di Xin’s powerful attack was split in two. The huge saber-image didn’t pause at all as it continued toward Di Xin.
“What?!” Di Xin was filled with disbelief. His attack had contained the power of millions and millions of runes, and its destructive power was astounding.
However, it was like a watermelon in front of Long Chen’s saber and was unable to block Long Chen’s attack in the slightest.
What he didn’t know was that the sixth form was a turning point within the nine forms of Split the Heavens. It contained boundless profundities and was a law in and of itself.
Split the Heavens. Even the heavens could be split, let alone some magical art. In the first five forms, its power was focused on the saber-image. However, in the sixth form, it depended on the will. Similar to the Sword Qi of sword cultivators, it was the will that drew the attack and the spirit that made it sharp. If you believed there was no obstacle that could stop it, then nothing could stop it.
That was why the sixth form of Split the Heavens took so much energy and was also so powerful.
“Heavenly Spirit Water Shield, One Shield to Block the Heavens!”
Di Xin let out a furious roar. The huge heavy water domain around him vanished instantly, compressed into a three-thousand-meter shield in front of him.
This was Di Xin’s strongest defense, and he had to use his water-thorn divine item to draw all his energy into one spot. This shield coupled hardness and softness, making it tough and incredibly difficult to break. At the very least, he had never encountered anyone who could break it.
However, this incredibly powerful defense was like paper in front of the sixth form of Split the Heavens. The saber-image pierced it and slashed onto Di Xin’s water-thorn.
With an explosive sound, the water-thorn cracked and shattered. Di Xin coughed up a mouthful of blood with a pained grunt.
“My Cloud Splitting Water Thorn!” Di Xin’s eyes immediately turned red. This Cloud Splitting Water Thorn was a rare water attribute divine item. As a water attribute expert, he was perfectly suited to it and cherished it deeply.
Although the water-thorn was a divine item, it wasn’t a powerful offensive divine item. Its material was made to store water essence and not clash directly.
Thanks to Long Chen’s full-strength blow, its edge was broken, causing its power to sharply drop. That made his heart drip blood.
“Long Chen, I’ll kill you!” roared Di Xin. He suddenly stabbed his own heart with the Cloud Splitting Water Thorn. The previously translucent water-thorn became scarlet.
Di Xin pulled it out of his heart and waved it through the air. His blood splattered, and huge blood dragons flew out of Di Xin’s manifestation.
“This aura is…” Long Chen almost couldn’t believe it.
“Correct, it’s the aura of a true dragon. However, this aura is very weak. It shouldn’t be an inheritance involving true dragon essence blood but some kind of aura contamination. Although he’s using a magical art to forcibly use that aura to take the form of the true drag
on, don’t get cocky. Those blood dragons might be made of runes, but they seem to have merged with his blood. Their power is extremely great,” warned Evilmoon.
The first blood dragon charged at Long Chen, its sharp claw the size of a mountain as it smashed down at him.
When Long Chen slashed his saber onto it, he forced it back. However, he also felt his blood flipping inside him.
“Long Chen, now do you know my power?!” Di Xin was clenching his teeth furiously as if he wanted to bite Long Chen to death. “Each of these blood dragons has power comparable to an Empyrean. As for you, your aura is currently dropping. Let’s see what you will use to fight me!”
He was spent. After unleashing the sixth form of Split the Heavens, Long Chen’s aura had started to drop quickly. He had used up even more energy than last time.
Although he had recovered a bit of energy on his way here, this attack had made him run out of spiritual yuan.
“What will I use to fight you? I still have plenty of trump cards.” Long Chen smiled. At the same time, the distant Chu Yao also smiled. She knew what Long Chen wanted to do. She closed her eyes and formed a hand seal.
Three flower petals suddenly appeared behind Long Chen. When they appeared, Long Chen’s originally dropping aura instantly rose explosively.
“Split the Heavens 6!” Long Chen unleashed another huge saber-image.
“How is this possible?!” Di Xin roared furiously. Long Chen’s aura had clearly been dropping. How could it suddenly recover to its peak in an instant?!
However, he had to accept this cruel reality as he felt Long Chen’s attack lock him down. He was powerless to flee.
The most shameless thing about this attack was that it cut through any magical arts. Just how was Di Xin supposed to block it?
Di Xin was unwilling to use his water-thorn to block it again, afraid that it would explode if it was struck once more. However, it had to be said that this genius from the Central Xuan Regions was truly a rich silkpants. He waved his hand, summoning two divine items.
One was an ancient turtle shell covered in divine runes, while another was a piece of armor sparkling with golden light.
Although these two divine items were just quasi divine items, they instantly grew larger and formed a sturdy defense in front of him.
Two explosive sounds rang out as those two quasi divine items were blown to bits by Long Chen’s attack. In front of him, even quasi divine items weren’t enough.
One reason was that those two quasi divine items were not Di Xin’s main divine item, and he didn’t constantly nourish them with his soul, meaning the power they could unleash was limited. Furthermore, they had slave seals on them to limit their own power, resulting in them being destroyed in an instant.
The huge saber-image only paused slightly in front of those two quasi divine items before continuing toward Di Xin. Di Xin was infuriated and had no choice but to raise his water-thorn to block. However, just as he was about to sacrifice his main divine item, the sound of a zither exploded into existence. An ancient zither appeared in front of Di Xin, and divine light circulated to block Long Chen’s attack.
Chapter 1654 No Need to Hold Back Any Longer
BOOM!
Divine light exploded into the sky. Three figures were sent flying at the same time.
Shen Bijun had appeared, using the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither to help Di Xin block Long Chen’s attack.
“Again! Split the Heavens 6!”
Long Chen laughed and slashed Evilmoon once more. Powerful astral winds erupted away from him.
“This is completely impossible!” Di Xin roared. Such a terrifying attack was something a normal person could only unleash once before being exhausted. However, it was like it wasn’t costing Long Chen to unleash the sixth form of Split the Heavens. This was already his third time.
Long Chen couldn’t help sighing emotionally. Wood cultivators truly had the greatest spiritual yuan reserves amongst all cultivators.
Chu Yao’s spiritual yuan had been half exhausted due to resisting Di Xin’s heavy water domain before, however, she still had enough for Long Chen to continuously use the sixth form of Split the Heavens.
“Don’t be afraid. That energy is just borrowed. After one more attack, he’ll be out of energy!” said Shen Bijun. She slammed both hands on the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither, swinging it at Long Chen just like that.
Di Xin didn’t tarry, and his water-thorn blazed with light as he used it to block Long Chen’s terrifying attack with Shen Bijun.
BOOM!
Di Xin and Shen Bijun were working together to block it, but they were still sent flying. Both of them wildly coughed up blood.
“I don’t have enough spiritual yuan to attack again,” sighed Long Chen. Chu Yao didn’t have enough spiritual yuan to unleash the sixth form of Split the Heavens again, or he’d have definitely chased after them and attacked.
Long Chen’s heart suddenly shook, and he hastily cut off the Wood Spirit Union. “Chu Yao, watch out!”
Shen Bijun was rushing toward Meng Qi and the others. She had clearly seen through some clues and wanted to sever Long Chen’s energy store. Waves of divine light came from the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither. “Die sluts!”
“You’re the slut. How do you even have the face to live?” Liu Ruyan immediately summoned her true body, becoming a giant Undying Willow. Countless tree branches shot toward Shen Bijun.
However, Shen Bijun was holding the Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither. It had its own terrifying origin, and Liu Ruyan’s branches were all blown to bits.
“Endless Falling Wood!”
Countless wooden stakes shot out of the ground, whistling toward Shen Bijun like spears.
At the same time, a bird cry rang out as Cloud took her true form as well. Her runes lit up all around her body as she attacked.
Only Meng Qi stayed behind to protect Tang Wan-er in case anyone wanted to launch a sneak attack.
“Having more people is useless. Trash bunched together is just a bigger pile of trash. Have a taste of my pentatonic slaughter arts!”
The waves of divine light coming from Shen Bijun’s zither transformed into thousands of sharp blades that shot toward Chu Yao, Cloud, and Liu Ruyan.
Each time Shen Bijun plucked a string, a sharp blade would shoot out. Even Cloud’s wings were unable to block them. Each time she was struck, she would be injured.
However, amongst the three of them, Liu Ruyan was the vanguard. With her undying body, she received the majority of Shen Bijun’s attacks herself. Although her branches were constantly destroyed, more constantly grew. She was unafraid of this kind of injury.
Liu Ruyan was the main attacker, with Chu Yao and Cloud looking for opportunities to launch their own attacks. Even though Shen Bijun possessed the Seven String Sea Suppressing zither, she was unable to do anything to the three of them.
As they fought, Long Chen also continued fighting against Di Xin. However, without Chu Yao’s Wood Spirit Union, Long Chen could only rely on his depleted spiritual yuan.
“Long Chen, now let’s see how you reverse the tides!” Di Xin’s expression was twisted, and he summoned his heavy water domain once more. As for Long Chen, the five stars in his eyes dimmed, and he put away the Five Star Battle Armor. The divine ring continued to spin behind him to fight against Di Xin’s domain.
With just the divine ring powering him, Long Chen could save energy while fighting. However, within this heavy water domain, he was only able to create thirty-meter space for himself. His speed and power were all affected.
“Then I’ll let you see it.” Long Chen smiled. He might be out of energy, but Di Xin was definitely not in better condition.
If it weren’t for the fact that water cultivators also had deep reserves of spiritual yuan second only to wood cultivators, Di Xin would have already died.
However, Long Chen was still at a disadvantage. He was rejected by the Heavenly Daos and couldn’t absorb their ene
rgy to recover. He could only slowly extract energy from his 108,000 stars to recover.
Unfortunately, this recovery speed was a far cry from an Empyrean’s. When they had their manifestations activated, they recovered energy so fast, that if it wasn’t an extremely intense fight, they could maintain a constant energy level.
Despite the faster recovery of Empyreans, Di Xin definitely didn’t have more spiritual yuan left in him. If it hadn’t been for Shen Bijun, he’d have long since died.
“Hmph, within my domain, you can’t recover. I can easily exhaust you to death,” sneered Di Xin.
His heavy water domain isolated Heavenly Dao energy, and it was the skill he was most confident in.
No matter how strong someone was, in his heavy water domain, they would become his prey. No one could escape.
“Then let’s see who runs out of energy first,” said Long Chen disdainfully.
Long Chen was in the core of the heavy water domain. From a distance, it looked like a giant ball of water, with Long Chen and Di Xin staring at each other from a distance.
“You want to stall for time to recover your physical energy? Keep dreaming. There’s no hope for you within my domain.”
Suddenly, countless water dragons sprang into existence and shot toward Long Chen, roaring angrily. Long Chen destroyed them with a slash of his saber.
These water dragons weren’t that powerful, but he couldn’t ignore them. He couldn’t let them get close. Di Xin was clearly using them to exhaust his precious physical energy so that he couldn’t recover.
As for Di Xin, he could use the heavy water domain to rapidly recover. Unfortunately for Di Xin, Long Chen wasn’t using any spiritual yuan to kill these water dragons. He could destroy them with his physical strength alone.
His 108,000 stars were circulating rapidly. Long Chen was recovering slowly.
In the distance, Chu Yao, Liu Ruyan, and Cloud were fighting Shen Bijun intensely. The three of them had the numbers advantage, while Shen Bijun had the advantage of a powerful divine item. It was difficult to determine a winner.
