  Seeing them constantly bleeding but still not giving up, seeing their will so firm, the spectators shook with awe.

  “Some people are fated to become experts, not because of how talented they are or how strong their families, but because they have a determination to get stronger even if they have to die,” said a Life Star expert. He was no longer young, and he sighed sadly.

  This sigh resonated with countless people. Compared to Long Chen and Xiang Yunfei, their wills were too weak. They couldn’t handle hardship. That was the true difference between them.

  Another explosion and Long Chen and Xiang Yunfei were knocked back once more, tumbling far into the distance. As for Evilmoon and the Heavenly Bone spear, they stabbed into the ground beside them.

  The black qi around Evilmoon had vanished, and the violet qi around the Heavenly Bone Spear had also disappeared, revealing its white appearance. Furthermore, even the bone was lacking its original luster.

  Everyone was deathly silent. They knew that this battle was about to reach its conclusion. Both sides were running out of energy.

  However, seeing the two of them covered in blood and panting, both friends and foes felt deep veneration for their fearlessness and their determination to never give up.

  “I admit you’re very powerful. However, you will still die by my hands.” Xiang Yunfei pointed the Heavenly Bone Spear at Long Chen, a contemptuous smile on his face.

  Chapter 1789 Final Trump Card

  Xiang Yunfei might be covered in blood, but he was still completely confident. He looked at Long Chen with contempt.

  This shocked the experts. Both Long Chen and Xiang Yunfei had reached the point of running on empty, and the power of their divine items had also faded. How was Xiang Yunfei still so confident?

  Long Chen took a deep breath. After wiping some blood off his mouth, he brushed back his messy hair. “How unexpected. It seems you still have a trump card?”

  “Hahaha, if I didn’t have one, would I dare to declare that your life was mine?”

  Xiang Yunfei’s manifestation, which had been on the verge of fading, suddenly returned. However, at this moment, his forehead suddenly split open. Violet-red blood poured out.

  That blood condensed into a mammoth-shaped rune in the sky. Following that, the vague figure within his manifestation slowly walked out.

  When that illusory mammoth walked out of his manifestation, an ancient bloodline power manifested, accompanied by an earth-shaking rumbling.

  “That’s…!”

  As the world rumbled, that illusory figure slowly merged into Xiang Yunfei’s body. His aura was immediately refreshed, but it also changed somewhat. It was like he was a different person.

  “Even at this time, he still had a trump card. How terrifying!”

  Who would have thought that even after fighting to this point, Xiang Yunfei had still been holding back a trump card? He seemed like an undefeatable god now.

  “Are you angry? Do you feel despair? Do you feel that I’m contemptible? This isn’t my power, but the ancestral spirit power my Mammoth race has sacrificed for generations. My spiritual yuan might be exhausted, but I can still use my bloodline to summon this power to kill you. Do you feel sullen?” Xiang Yunfei held the Heavenly Bone Spear. Its violet light had returned as if it had been revived as well.

  “Sullen? No. Angry? No. Contempt? Also no. As long as it’s a power you can control, then whether you stole it or borrowed it, it’s yours. So I don’t feel contempt, anger, or sullenness. I just feel like you’re stupid. Do you have a pig’s memory? Or did you cultivate just to be a poser?” Long Chen pulled Evilmoon back into his spiritual space.

  Evilmoon had used up all its power and needed time to recover. There was no way around this as the Sovereign seal was still present. The power Evilmoon could store and control was very limited.

  As for Long Chen himself, his spiritual yuan was near empty. This fight had truly been exhausting. Even forcing heaven and earth to hand over their energy didn’t allow him to keep up with the exhaustion. However, his expression was still calm.

  “Hahaha, your mouth’s still so tough with death at hand. That’s good too. Count yourself lucky to die to my Mammoth race’s strongest attack.”

  Xiang Yunfei raised the Heavenly Bone Spear. A sea of violet light appeared behind him.

  That sea slowly condensed into a giant violet spear and grew more and more solid. One hundred and eight runes appeared on it, the same ones that were on the Heavenly Bone Spear.

  The only difference was that the giant violet spear was thousands of times larger. All of a sudden, the world grew so quiet that people could only hear their own heartbeats. Their minds were blank as they stared at the giant spear. Was this a world-destroying attack?

  “The Mammoth race has bet everything on Xiang Yunfei. They really didn’t hold anything back. What a grand gamble,” murmured Yan Nantian.

  Although it was a gamble, up to now, it had paid off. Xiang Yunfei might be a bit too arrogant, but he possessed all the qualities of an expert. He was confident, determined, and fearless. Such a figure was worthy of the Mammoth race betting everything on him.

  Long Chen slowly formed hand seals in front of him. As he floated into the sky, sacred chanting filled the air.

  It sounded as if gods and devils were murmuring together. Their voices came from above the very heavens to arrive in this world.

  Upon hearing this chanting, the Grand Elders were filled with disbelief.

  “The Nirvana Scripture?”

  The world shuddered like it was boiling, and waves of heat surged. After that, divine runes erupted, bringing with them dense flame energy that surged toward Long Chen.

  “Heavens, Long Chen also has a trump card left. They’re both monsters…”

  Flame runes continued to appear in the air, gathering toward Long Chen along with intense heat. It was a frightening appearance.

  Long Chen raised his right hand. A black lotus appeared in it.

  When that black lotus came into existence, Yan Nantian couldn’t help being shocked. “Ranked second on the Earth Flame Rankings, the Black Illusion Dragon Flame?!”

  “What?! The Black Illusion Dragon Flame? Isn’t that the wildest flame? It’s impossible for someone to control it!”

  An uproar exploded amongst the experts. The Black Illusion Dragon Flame existed only in legend. Let alone seeing it, even those who knew of it were very rare.

  Furthermore, the legends said that this flame was too berserk, making it useless. There was no way to control it.

  Perhaps some people might manage to suppress and subdue the Black Illusion Dragon Flame while it was still in its infant form. However, that didn’t have any use because it was like a madman. It would attack its owner at random times and refuse to listen to orders.

  However, now that this black lotus appeared in Long Chen’s hand, even the old monsters that had lived for countless years were struck dumb. Long Chen had completely toppled their understanding of the world.

  The flame lotus floated into the sky, crazily absorbing flame energy. As the sacred chanting continued, it grew stronger and stronger.

  Flame chains grew out of each petal, converging together to form black spheres atop each petal. The spheres were like black pearls.

  However, each of these pearls possessed a terrifying aura that made people’s hair stand on end. They sensed terrifying destructive power from each pearl.

  “This thing is crazy,” said one of the Grand Elders in shock.

  As everyone was filled with shock, the flame lotus was continuously strengthened by flame energy. It quickly grew to three thousand meters.

  The flame lotus slowly revolved. As a result, the void rumbled and boomed as cracks appeared in it. It was like the very sky was being torn apart.

  “It seems it’s still not enough. But if I keep going, I probably won’t be able to control it,” cursed Long Chen inside.

  This was a move that he had invented on his own. Using the
primordial rune from the Immemorial Path as a foundation, he had merged Star Fall into it.

  This move was definitely terrifying. On the surface, it was equivalent to nine Star Falls exploding at once, but due to how they affected each other, he found that there was no way to truly calculate this move’s power.

  He had tested it, and the result was that he had injured himself badly. Based on his estimation, its power was at least above eighty-one Star Falls exploding on their own.

  Furthermore, it was still in an embryonic form. He had not perfected this move yet, and there were still many flaws that he was working on.

  However, with his little remaining spiritual yuan, he could only use this move.

  It went without saying that Xiang Yunfei was very powerful, or perhaps more accurately that the Mammoth race’s foundation was very solid. They had managed to force Long Chen to this point.

  Xiang Yunfei’s giant violet spear was growing more solid, and it was truly like a giant heavenly spear now. Long Chen clenched his teeth.

  The nine pearls on the petals began to rapidly spin, and the flame lotus grew explosively. The lotus was filled with a destructive aura.

  “What a terrifying destructive aura. Just what is this move? Is it also a paragon art?!” Startled cries rang out. Long Chen’s black lotus was bizarre and berserk, and it made everyone feel uneasy.

  “This is a world-destroying power. It seems this technique is not complete, but this power… Qu Jianying, don’t be careless. Strengthen the barrier as much as possible. This move should not be underestimated.” Yan Nantian had light flowing in his eyes as he looked at the flame lotus. His expression was solemn.

  Qu Jianying quickly made some hand seals, and life and death energy surged out of her. New runes appeared on her barrier as she raised its defense to an even greater level.

  “I didn’t expect you to also have held something back. However, you’re too late. My paragon art is already complete, and I won’t give you a chance. Die!”

  The spear behind Xiang Yunfei suddenly shook. His technique was complete, and he immediately launched it at Long Chen.

  Chapter 1790 Flame Lotus Shakes the Heavens

  “I never need anyone to give me my opportunities. Furthermore… this should be enough if it’s just to kill you.”

  Long Chen didn’t allow the black flame lotus to absorb any more flame energy. If it grew any stronger, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to control it.

  The flame lotus was thirty thousand meters long. As the flame runes filling the sky shattered, a fierce destructive will exploded.

  The flame lotus was clearly a bit unsteady. It was starting to grow out of control, causing Long Chen’s expression to change. He had given the flame lotus too much energy, and it was starting to run rampant.

  However, then a dragon roar came from the flame lotus, causing it to stabilize.

  This black flame lotus had been condensed with all of Huo Long’s power. However, Huo Long’s energy had just been the seed. It was the Nirvana Scripture that had drawn out all the world’s flame energy for it.

  The flame energy was the fertile soil that had allowed the seed to rapidly grow. But now there was so much foreign energy that it was starting to change. Fortunately, even though this seed had grown into a tree that towered into the heavens, it still remembered the original seed. Huo Long used that connection to temporarily control it.

  “Mammoth Heaven Slaughter!”

  Xiang Yunfei’s roar rang out. The huge spear pierced forward mercilessly.

  “World Annihilation Flame Lotus!”

  Long Chen also let out a roar. His Spiritual Strength erupted, and the flame lotus smashed toward the huge spear.

  The spear’s size, aura, and all other areas seemed to far surpass the black flame lotus. But when the two of them collided, the giant spear paused. It was unable to pierce through the flame lotus.

  “It blocked it?!” Startled cries rang out. Long Chen’s flame lotus seemed minute in the face of the giant spear, but it had blocked it.

  The flame lotus continued to slowly revolve. The tip of the spear was ground away, becoming a blunt object as if the flame lotus was a rapidly spinning grindstone.

  “Impossible!”

  Xiang Yunfei’s expression completely changed. This giant spear was his strongest attack. He had even summoned his ancestors’ power. Hence, this attack even possessed the power to kill Netherpassage experts.

  However, that black flame lotus had actually blocked it. His spear was unable to pierce through it.

  Furthermore, he felt the spear’s energy being ground away. That was the most horrifying thing.

  Xiang Yunfei suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. The energy inside that blood was shocking. It was his essence blood.

  The essence blood formed a mammoth image in the sky. Xiang Yunfei coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, strengthening the mammoth image.

  “Are you pregnant? Is this your morning sickness?” asked Long Chen.

  Xiang Yunfei coughed up blood once more, but this time it was just ordinary blood, not essence blood. He had bitten his tongue.

  This distraction caused Xiang Yunfei’s mammoth image to quiver. It almost crumbled, and Xiang Yunfei hastily spat out another large amount of essence blood.

  On the other side, Long Chen was panting. Even his soul was in pain. He had used up too much Spiritual Strength, and it seemed he had overdrafted his spiritual yuan. This was his first time using the World Annihilation Flame Lotus against an enemy, and he had never used it with so much power.

  From the start, he knew that his chances of getting an easy victory were almost nonexistent.

  Moreover, he didn’t want to just defeat Xiang Yunfei. He wanted to kill him.

  So even though Xiang Yunfei’s Yuan Spirit had been injured, Long Chen hadn’t tried charging at him, instead accepting Xiang Yunfei’s attrition battle.

  If he had gone all-out at that time, he would have had an eighty percent chance of defeating Xiang Yunfei, but… he wouldn’t even have a ten percent chance of killing him because Xiang Yunfei would run.

  So all the way back then, Long Chen had already been preparing to exhaust all of Xiang Yunfei’s energy and kill him with the World Annihilation Flame Lotus.

  When Xiang Yunfei had been healing his Yuan Spirit, Long Chen had been imagining and extrapolating how to use the World Annihilation Flame Lotus. Using this move was still very dangerous for him, and rather than annihilating a world, it would annihilate him first if he made a mistake.

  However, Long Chen hadn’t expected Xiang Yunfei to also have such a terrifying trump card. His goal had actually been the same as Long Chen’s. He had wanted to exhaust all his energy and then kill Long Chen in one final move.

  The good thing though was that the World Annihilation Flame Lotus was even stronger than what Long Chen had imagined.

  This World Annihilation Flame Lotus’s core power was condensed in the nine Star Falls. The nine petals were just there as a frame for the Star Falls.

  Seeing that Xiang Yunfei’s attack wasn’t even able to break the outer frame of the World Annihilation Flame Lotus, it seemed that it wasn’t qualified to compete with it.

  The greatest surprise to Long Chen was that he didn’t even need to control it after he launched it. Huo Long’s own will was enough to keep it stable.

  As for Xiang Yunfei, he was at a disadvantage. The spear was constantly being ground away, and its energy was dissipating into the air. He had to use his own essence blood to keep strengthening it, or it would be broken.

  “Using my blood, I summon my ancestors’ undying spirits! Lend me your power to destroy the enemy before me…”

  Xiang Yunfei crossed his arms before his chest and began to chant. The blood image in front of him seemed to come to life, and it flew into the giant spear.

  The spear shook intensely. Blinding divine light erupted.

  “Die!”

  Xiang Yunfei was pale, but his eyes contained a bit
of madness and malevolence. Having exhausted too much of his essence blood, he had paid a terrifying price to kill Long Chen.

  The spear began to pierce the flame lotus’s exterior. However, the flame lotus did not crumble but instead began to shine as well.

  The nine stars on top of it began to rumble as if they had been awoken from their slumber.

  Long Chen was staring closely at these changes. This was his first time using this technique at full strength. The results would allow him to see how he could further perfect it.

  As the petals were destroyed, the flame lotus’s energy became unbalanced. The nine stars took the lead, leaving the flame lotus and forming their own ring.

  This black ring condensed the energy of the nine stars into the center. The energy had just gathered in the center when it rebounded back to the nine stars. As a result, the nine stars instantly exploded.

  Darkness enveloped the world. Xiang Yunfei’s spear was destroyed instantly, unable to endure that power.

  “This is impossible!” Xiang Yunfei roared, unable to believe his eyes. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

  This spear had been condensed with the power of his ancestors as well as his own power. It was connected to his soul, and he received a heavy injury as it was destroyed.

  Xing Yunfei endured the pain. He split his one Heavenly Bone Spear into one hundred and eight of them, forming three walls with them. He was truly an expert with immense combat experience.

  However, his three bone shields were nothing in the face of this black wave. They were sent flying, while Xiang Yunfei was buffeted by the powerful shockwaves to the point that his skeleton shattered and he almost exploded. He was sent tumbling into the distance.

  The black wave crashed into Qu Jianying’s barrier. The barrier shook, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on it.

  Qu Jianying was shocked. With Yan Nantian’s warning, she hadn’t been careless. This barrier had been condensed with eighty percent of her power.

  However, the impact of Long Chen’s attack was actually enough to crack it. That meant that it definitely had the ability to kill Netherpassage experts.
