“They are right, and I am right. Then who is wrong? What’s wrong is this era we live in. We were born in the wrong era. If a Sovereign was still present to rule over the races, we would be at peace, with the races living in harmony. Our civilization would prosper. But that is not the case.
“I want to kill them. Right now, that’s right. But a thousand years from, it might not be.
“Most importantly, in the face of these innocent children… I just can’t attack. Although I know you’ll curse me for being stupid, please let me be this stupid,” sighed Long Chen as he flew past.
Evilmoon was silent for a long while. “Fine. I don’t quite understand what you’re saying, but thank you for viewing me as a brother.”
Although it didn’t quite agree with his principles, Evilmoon was still a bit moved by what he had said. After being with Long Chen for this long, it had already seen through his character. His emotions were simple and direct.
When Long Chen flew over the territory of the ancient races, he drew the attention of countless experts. They flew into the air to stop him.
Long Chen slowed down. As for the Netherpassage expert behind him, he also slowed down. Things became strange. He also didn’t want to fight within the territory of the ancient races.
However, even if Long Chen had slowed down, that didn’t mean he was so slow that these Life Star experts could possibly stop him.
He flew past them. Because he was so fast, many of those experts didn’t even understand what was happening before his figure vanished from their sight.
…
“News has come from that side. The patriarch is personally chasing that little bastard, so everyone should be prepared. Once the patriarch captures him, we have to immediately activate the transportation formation disc. The little bastard will be transported here alone, and then we’ll send him through eighteen consecutive transportation formations all the way to the Central Xuan Region. After that, we’ll immediately erase the spatial mark so that even if Qu Jianying comes, she’ll have no proof. Don’t be careless.” Within the depths of the ancient races’ territory, within a giant cave, a stern-faced elder was speaking. He didn’t have a single hair on his head.
“Race leader, it has already been over an hour. Why has there still been no news from the patriarch? Could something unexpected have happened?” asked an elder.
“What a joke. That little bastard’s only at the Soul Transformation realm. With the patriarch handling him personally, wouldn’t he have to obediently be captured? Just patiently wait,” shouted the stern elder.
They didn’t know that their patriarch was so infuriated by Long Chen that to be safe, he had blocked off his senses and was focused entirely on chasing. He hadn’t sent them an update, while they were still here, foolishly waiting.
BOOM!
Just as they were foolishly waiting, a powerful explosion came from outside, shocking them. They all rushed out of the cave.
“Sorry for making you wait so long. I’ve come myself to your door.” Up in the sky, Long Chen was smiling at the dumbfounded elders of the ancient races.
Chapter 1746 Giving a Gift
“Long… Chen…!”
When they saw Long Chen, all those ancient race experts’ expressions changed. Long Chen had descended on their tribe from the sky.
“Wow, tortoise lairs are very lively. You actually had so many people gathered. I suppose you must have been discussing me, right?”
Long Chen’s gaze quickly swept through everyone here. He saw that not everyone here was from the tortoise race. The majority were from other ancient races.
It was too obvious what they were thinking. They were definitely after him.
Through Evilmoon’s senses, Long Chen had found the place with the strongest bloodline aura of that old tortoise amongst these scattered tribes. That was why he had come here.
The ancient races’ tribes were different from the human race’s sects. They had no protective formations around them. First of all, they didn’t need them because no one dared to touch them. The second reason however… was rather embarrassing. It was because they had no idea how to set formations up.
The entire tribe was thrown into chaos. Countless tortoise race experts surged out, surrounding Long Chen.
At the same time, experts from the other tribes also rushed over. Long Chen watched all this with a faint smile on his face. That Netherpassage expert had been thrown off far into the distance by him.
Using his Life and Death Gates to travel was impossible. If he activated such power in this place, the weak women and children of the ancient races would definitely die. So he was still busy flying over.
Furthermore, tortoises never specialized in speed. As soon as Long Chen and the Netherpassage expert had reached the territory of the ancient races, the latter had been thrown off.
“Long Chen, how dare you barge into my Seven Star Dragon Tortoise race’s territory! You’ll pay for your sins!” As Long Chen was surrounded by experts, a young man with a large tortoise shell on his back walked forward.
“A son of a tortoise also dares to be so arrogant?” Long Chen glanced at that person. He suddenly vanished, reappearing in front of that young man.
“Watch out!”
That voice came from the Netherpassage expert. He had finally managed to catch up.
Long Chen was as quick as lightning, but that young man was also a powerful existence, an Empyrean. His tortoise shell instantly appeared in front of him, and seven runes were flashing on top of it like seven interconnected stars, emanating a heavy aura.
The young man didn’t show any panic seeing Long Chen’s sudden attack. He had immense confidence in his defense.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s punch smashed through the tortoise shell, shattering it. At the same time, the young man was blown to bits.
Long Chen’s divine ring had appeared behind him, and he was covered in green dragon scales. He had instantly summoned his divine ring and Green Dragon Battle Armor, which allowed him to instantly slay this genius of the Seven Star Dragon Tortoise race.
“Your shell was quite hard, but it’s too bad it wasn’t fully grown. You’re still lacking compared to the old tortoise,” said Long Chen indifferently after killing that person.
In truth, Long Chen felt some sorrow for that person. He had actually been quite powerful, not that much weaker than Xiang Yunfei’s clone.
However, he had been too arrogant. He had thought that just his tortoise shell would be enough to block Long Chen’s punch. Hence, he hadn’t even activated his divine abilities. Of course, Long Chen had been so fast that it was unlikely he would have had time to activate any divine abilities.
Even if he didn’t activate a divine ability, he could have tried falling back while blocking with his tortoise shell. That way, he might only have been injured and not killed. He was too overconfident in his defense, so he had died.
The nearby elders of the Seven Star Dragon Tortoise race roared furiously. That young man had been their top heavenly genius. All their hopes for the future had rested on him.
“Long Chen, I will definitely kill you!”
The Netherpassage expert finally appeared in the sky, but he didn’t have the power to save that genius disciple of his. His eyes were completely scarlet as he let out a powerful punch at Long Chen.
“Patriarch, please get vengeance for Changling!” The bald stern-faced elder let out a mournful plea.
However, his mournful plea had just rung out when Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “Old tortoise, your identity has been exposed. Is there a need to keep wearing your mask?”
Long Chen didn’t dare to face this berserk Netherpassage expert directly. That life and death energy wasn’t something he could block. Hence, he activated the Celestial Lightning Body Blink, vanishing.
The Netherpassage expert’s punch missed. He roared and charged after Long Chen.
Long Chen laughed, “Don’t be so angry! Look, you’re tr
ying to kill me, but I’m not flying into a rage like you. Didn’t I only kill one of your bastard descendants? Why get so angry?”
Within his lightning domain, Long Chen repeatedly vanished, dodging his attacks. The ancient races were thrown into chaos. The weak fled for their lives, while the strong rushed over, surrounding the tribe. They formed a heaven-encompassing net to trap Long Chen.
“Patriarch, this place is too small for you to fight freely. Leave it to me!” The bald elder suddenly rushed over at Long Chen with thousands of other experts. They were shockingly all half-step Netherpassage experts.
They surrounded Long Chen, and outside of their formation was another layer of Life Star experts. A veritable sea of experts were layered like this to make sure Long Chen couldn’t get away. It was impossible to count their numbers, but this place had gathered all the Eastern Xuan Region’s ancient races’ power.
That Netherpassage expert was powerful, but he was actually too powerful. It was like trying to use a hammer to kill a mosquito. He didn’t dare to use his full power, so it was better to leave it to a group of weaker combatants who could fight effectively.
“Don’t, this person’s combat power is extremely terrifying. Just surround him and don’t let him run. Only I can face him.” The Netherpassage expert shook his head.
Of everyone here, only he knew just how powerful Long Chen was. He was the only one who could suppress him. If those half-step Netherpassage experts fought, it would only cause huge casualties.
“Wow, a Netherpassage expert is personally welcoming me. How moving. I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t know how to repay kindness. It’s my first time at your grand lair, and while I’m tight on money, I simply must give you this gift. Although this gift is rather meager, I hope you won’t laugh at me. It’s not the gift but the thought that counts. Everyone, prepare your applause and cheers for this gift…” Long Chen began to talk passionately as if he really was giving them a great gift.
The experts of the ancient races had a bad feeling following Long Chen’s strange words, but before they could do anything, the sky trembled. A terrifying pressure descended and an angry roar rang out.
A giant figure fell onto the ground. It had twelve bone spurs on its back pointed at the heavens. A twelfth rank Sword Spine Armor Dragon had shockingly appeared in front of them.
“What…?” The experts were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.
However, the Sword Spine Armor Dragon let out an angry roar. Long Chen suddenly kicked its jaw so hard that its head flipped up.
After that, Long Chen suppressed his aura and actually jumped onto one of the bone spurs on the back of the Sword Spine Armor Dragon as if everything that had happened before had nothing to do with him.
The Sword Spine Armor Dragon had just been summoned out of Long Chen’s spiritual space, and its last memories were still strong in its mind. Those were memories of it fighting Long Chen.
Now, Long Chen had kicked its head and vanished, replaced by an army of ancient race experts.
Its intelligence was very low, and it didn’t know what these people were doing. It thought they were with Long Chen, and it furiously opened its mouth, shooting out its golden sphere attack again.
“Watch out!” The Netherpassage expert appeared in front of it, holding a large tortoise shell in his hand to block the attack.
BOOM!
The light sphere exploded. Shreds of it tore through the void, and terrifying ripples spread.
“Full strength defense!” shouted the bald elder. He also took out a tortoise shell and raised it in front of him. The other experts also entered their strongest defensive states. They had no time to run.
The light spread in every direction. Even half-step Netherpassage experts were killed if they didn’t specialize in defense.
After all, this was a clash of Netherpassage experts. That power could destroy heaven and earth.
The ancient races’ experts had surrounded this place so tightly. Hence, the sudden appearance of the Sword Spine Armor Dragon and its attack left them with no time to run.
Bloody mist filled the air after this one attack. It was unknown how many experts had just died from this attack. The tight defenses in this place were instantly broken, with only broken remnants remaining. Only the experts with great defensive power had survived.
“How did this end up happening…?” The Netherpassage expert was dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that his ancient race would end up like this. This attack had slain millions of Life Star experts. Not only was his race decimated, but the ancient races of the Eastern Xuan Region, which were under his command, had suffered a terrible blow.
While the Netherpassage expert was still stunned, the Sword Spine Armor Dragon didn’t stop. Killing all those experts with one attack had ignited its bloody nature. Its desire to kill erupted.
It suddenly spun through the air, and its mountain-sized tail swung at the Netherpassage expert like a heavenly whip.
BOOM!
The Netherpassage expert hastily threw his grief out the door and blocked. He was flung into the distance by the tail.
“Patriarch!” All the ancient race experts let out startled cries.
Chapter 1747 The Patriarch Coughs up Blood
The Netherpassage expert was flung into the distance by the Sword Spine Armor Dragon’s tail. He left a long ditch in the ground.
After such an immense blow, the mask on his face shattered, and his hair flew away. He had been wearing a wig. Now that it flew off, it revealed that he was actually bald.
He was an ancient elder whose face was covered in wrinkles. That face was currently filled with rage.
However, his defensive power was shocking, as he didn’t suffer any injuries from the Sword Spine Armor Dragon’s tail attack.
“I’m fine! Where’s Long Chen?!” The Netherpassage expert suddenly noticed that Long Chen, who had been kneeling on the Sword Spine Armor Dragon’s back, had vanished.
“Fuck, did we end up letting him run? We have to chase after him!” The bald half-step Netherpassage expert shouted and was about to fly out.
“Get back here! Everyone, you will only be sending yourselves to your deaths if you go. Help me handle this Sword Spine Armor Dragon. Its offensive power isn’t that great, but its defensive power is terrifying. I will be the main force, and you work with me,” ordered the Netherpassage expert.
The only one in the ancient races capable of capturing Long Chen was himself. But if he chased after Long Chen, this furious Sword Spine Armor Dragon would destroy all the ancient races here. He no longer had the time to bother with Long Chen.
The large tortoise shell in the Netherpassage expert’s hand grew until it was the size of a mountain. He smashed it at the Sword Spine Armor Dragon.
BOOM!
The Sword Spine Armor Dragon was struck and sent flying, flipping through the air. Its huge body was badly crushed. Dust and stone shot out in every direction.
Taking advantage of this, the other ancient race experts attacked. The light of divine items lit up like stars in the night sky. Thousands of attacks landed on the Sword Spine Armor Dragon’s body.
All their attacks were concentrated on its abdomen, where its defense was weakest. Those attacks tore through its scales, sending blood flying.
“How is this possible?!” The ancient race experts were stunned to find that their attacks were unable to cause any serious injuries. The attacks of their divine items could barely pierce its outer defense, barely scratching its skin. The blood splashing looked like they were doing work, but in reality, this wasn’t a fatal wound.
The Sword Spine Armor Dragon was infuriated at being injured. It opened its mouth again, and a giant light sphere shot out.
Anyone touched by that light sphere was instantly turned to dust. Even divine items were unable to stop it.
In order to concentrate their power, those experts had been standing together. As a result, over half of them died to this one atta
ck.
This attack was different from the first one. It was faster and larger. It didn’t give them any chance to react. They despaired. This Sword Spine Armor Dragon was even more terrifying than they had thought.
“Everyone retreat! I’ll handle it!” The Netherpassage expert roared furiously. His manifestation surged behind him, and a large tortoise appeared within it. Its body was covered in black and white runes. Life and death energy erupted.
He had no choice but to fight all-out. He could no longer care that this was the territory of the ancient races. If he couldn’t suppress the Sword Spine Armor Dragon, this territory would be completely destroyed by it.
He crazily smashed the giant tortoise shell in his hand on the Sword Spine Armor Dragon. Heaven-shaking explosive sounds rang out.
The land of the ancient races, everything within millions of miles, was constantly shuddering. With the mountains collapsing, the people of the ancient races fled for their lives.
When the Netherpassage expert used his full power, he immediately managed to suppress the Sword Spine Armor Dragon. The tortoise shell in his hand was an extremely powerful divine item. In the hands of a Netherpassage expert, it was unleashing amazing power.
Regretfully, it was a shield and not an offensive weapon. Furthermore, the Sword Spine Armor Dragon was famed for its tough hide.
Even if he was able to suppress it, he was unable to kill it quickly. Furthermore, as it struggled, its attacks pierced the earth and the sky. The other experts had no chance to attack, while any of its attacks could take their lives.
The Netherpassage expert clenched his teeth. His tortoise shell smashed down repeatedly like a wild tempest, flipping the Sword Spine Armor Dragon across the ground.
The Sword Spine Armor Dragon was only a Magical Beast, and its intelligence was very low. Since it was no Xuan Beast, it didn’t know how to fight intelligently, instead relying purely on its physical strength. Now its aura was showing signs of flagging.
After half an incense stick’s worth of time, the Netherpassage expert let out a shout and threw the Sword Spine Armor Dragon into the sky.
