“I really don’t.” Long Chen shook his head.
The elder clasped his hands behind him and coldly said, “My Heavenly Fate Island cultivates the ability to read the way of heavens. A hundred years ago, we deduced that a fiend would be born on the Martial Heaven Continent and bring disaster to all, throwing the continent into chaos. That fiend is you, Long Chen. Heavenly Fate Island is eliminating you to remove a scourge for the people.”
“Fuck off. You might be able to scam others, but you can’t scam me. If you could really read the heavens, you wouldn’t have sent the four Fate Princes into the Yin Yang World. Now that your four Fate Princes are dead, you don’t have a single person to receive your inheritance. What are you blindly bragging about?” cursed Long Chen. This old fellow’s sanctimonious appearance was too hateful.
“Hmph, the four Fate Princes died to eradicate evil. Their deaths were for the peace of the Martial Heaven Continent. They’re heroes who entered the Yin Yang World knowing that they wouldn’t return alive. For the Martial Heaven Continent, they didn’t even frown as they became sacrifices for peace. After such heroes have died, you even have to slander and vilify them? Long Chen, don’t you think you’re too malicious?” The elder pointed at Long Chen with righteous indignation.
Long Chen almost laughed from fury. He had finally seen the most shameless person in his life. Every time this elder opened his mouth, he managed to twist the truth to convenience himself. Those four Fate Princes had actually been turned into the eternal heroes of the Martial Heaven Continent by his words.
“Shameless thing, I’ve never seen someone so shameless. Alright, your mouth is bigger, so I can’t out-talk you. Then tell me-” Long Chen was about to continue asking questions.
“Who has the time to talk nonsense with you? Stop stalling. I can see through all your thoughts easily. I’ll only give you to the count of three. Either come quietly, or die,” interrupted the elder.
“Ah, you really have some skill. You even saw that I was stalling.” Long Chen sighed and shook his head sadly.
“You should just give up. Although you broke the spatial channel so the transportation didn’t complete, you still won’t be able to escape.”
“Ah, so you had the trap laid out well in advance. My guess is that if the transportation had succeeded, we’d be in some prison. Even death would probably be luxurious by then, right?” asked Long Chen.
“Not bad, not bad… bastard, stop changing the subject! Decide whether you want to live or die! If you don’t want to die, then step forward. I guarantee I won’t take your life!” shouted the elder.
“Old ghost, shut up. We followed senior apprentice-brother Long Chen and senior apprentice-sister Ye Lingshan through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Do you think you could make us give up now?” sneered a disciple. “You must think that we’re three-year-old children. Or are you the actual three-year-old?”
That disciple’s words instantly stimulated everyone else.
“That’s right, since we dared to stand beside senior apprentice-sister Ye Lingshan, we’re prepared to die. Old fellow, open your dog eyes and look closely. We aren’t that crowd of fools afraid of your Heavenly Fate Island.”
“Even if we die, we’ll be able to smile on the path to the yellow springs. What’s there to be afraid of? When we run into those ghosts we killed, we can kill them again.”
These disciples were already aware that they were definitely dead, and so fearing death was meaningless. They began to curse that elder. If they couldn’t kill him, at least they would curse him until they were satisfied before dying.
Mo Nian smiled. There were still some tough people in the Martial Heaven Alliance, and none had submitted amongst over a hundred thousand experts. That was incredibly rare. Everyone was afraid of death, but they chose dignity and honor even in death.
For this many people to be united, a strange atmosphere unfurled. Even the rather timid people were getting fierce.
“Then don’t blame me for being merciless. Strip their Yuan Spirits and seal them!” ordered the elder. All the Netherpassage experts extended a hand. Life and death energy raged, forming a resonance with heaven and earth.
“Old ghost, being overconfident will make you suffer,” said Long Chen. He raised his hands into a seal.
“Acting tough won’t save you. Tell me, just how will I suffer?” sneered the elder.
“You’re the vice master of Heavenly Fate Island, so you must be skilled in reading the heavens. However, did you calculate that you would face a calamity that would take your life today?” asked Long Chen.
“Arrogance. Today, I’ll take the place of your parents to teach you how to talk to your elders.” The elder from Heavenly Fate Island was angered, and he waved his hand. Life and death energy converged.
“Who do you think you are to teach me? To tell you the truth, I’m the real god of reading the future. Today, I guarantee you will definitely die by my hands.”
Long Chen suddenly completed his hand seals. The void behind him began to rapidly spin, forming a giant channel.
The world shuddered as a giant silver dragon claw reached out of the channel. The silver claw was bigger than a mountain and directly slammed toward that elder.
The elder had never dreamed that Long Chen would be capable of such an attack. He instinctively shifted his energy toward the dragon claw.
The void exploded, and the elder was sent flying back, coughing up blood. At the same time, the other Netherpassage experts were blown back by the silver claw. They stared in shock at the space behind Long Chen.
The channel that Long Chen had summoned was constantly breaking and tearing apart. In the end, a giant drake managed to squeeze out of it, appearing in the sky.
Chapter 1914 Lightning Field Dragon King
The giant lightning drake appeared, causing the world to shudder intensely. Its silver light blazed even more intensely than the sun.
At the next moment, the elder from Heavenly Fate Island was swatted away by the silver drake’s claw, and the other Netherpassage experts immediately tensed up, divine items appearing in their hands. They had never seen such a lifeform.
They were filled with shock. How was it possible for Long Chen to summon such a terrifying existence?
“Little fellow, didn’t we say you can’t call me for nothing?” The silver drake’s voice resounded in Long Chen’s mind. It was angry. It didn’t like being summoned.
It had never agreed to definitely help Long Chen. The only agreement was that the ordinary drakes would help him. It was actually extremely polite of it to appear now.
“Isn’t it because I have no choice? Look at these old ghosts. They’ve lived for so many years, but they’re bullying a poor beginner like me. Isn’t that a pain? We’re friends, and for them to bully me is also bullying you. I might be able to endure it, but I feel bad for you being insulted like this…” Long Chen was also pleasantly surprised that the silver drake would heed his summons. He had actually been so nervous that it wouldn’t give him this face. Hence, he hastily drew it over to the same side as him.
“Stop spouting nonsense. Let me tell you, I’ll only be your fighter once. Next time, I won’t come no matter what’s going on,” snorted the silver drake.
“Yes, yes, once is enough! Help me eliminate them, and I definitely won’t forget you during my tribulation!”
“It’s impossible for me to do that. The channel you’ve opened is too small, so my true body can’t enter. I’m just a split body, and my power is limited. Furthermore, if I were to use the full power of my split body, the channel you summoned would crumble within ten breaths’ time. Then I’d have to go back. I can’t kill this many people in that timeframe,” said the silver drake.
Long Chen was shocked. A single split body was actually that powerful? Then if its true body was here, wouldn’t it be able to annihilate them with a wave of its claw?
However, ten breaths’ time was truly too short. Long Chen quickly thought of something an
d replied, “How about we do this…”
BOOM!
Suddenly, the silver drake shot into motion. A giant tail whipped toward the Netherpassage experts.
“Defend together!” shouted the elder from Heavenly Fate Island. The Netherpassage experts raised their divine items against the tail.
Divine light exploded. Divine items could only unleash their greatest power in the hands of Netherpassage experts. As a result, these thirty-three Netherpassage experts were unleashing over ten times the power of that group of Life Star Empyreans.
It was something none of the Martial Heaven Alliance’s experts could receive. This was the power of Netherpassage experts.
However, the silver drake was too powerful. The attacks of the divine items bounced off its body, and its dragon tail suddenly curled toward the Heavenly Fate Island’s elder.
That elder was startled. This silver drake had forced the others back just to target him.
Not giving up, he took out a giant feng shui board. Countless runes flew out of it and wrapped around him. He then practically teleported away, avoiding being caught up in the dragon tail.
However, he had just reappeared when a giant dragon claw smashed into him, shattering the feng shui compass’s defenses. The silver drake was unstoppable.
“So against existences stronger than them, Heavenly Fate Island’s heaven-reading arts are also useless. They can’t calculate their attacks or plans,” said Ye Lingshan. In front of an existence much stronger than him, this elder was unable to calculate anything.
The elder’s expression changed. He suddenly threw the feng shui compass above his head and began forming hand seals.
Unfortunately, halfway through his seals, a lightning spear pierced through his back and out his chest.
Dying, the elder stiffened and couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing. He tried to turn around to see who had attacked him.
“My fortune-telling skills told me that you would face a bloody calamity today. Now, do you believe it?” Long Chen’s voice rang out from behind him. The elder saw a pair of lightning wings on Long Chen’s back, and a berserk lightning spear in his hand.
This sudden attack made both friends and foes simply stand there in dumbfounded silence. They stared in shock at that figure.
It was so sudden that they couldn’t believe their eyes. A powerful Netherpassage expert’s life was now in the hands of a Soul Transformation disciple.
The reason this elder was the leader of these Netherpassage experts was because he had reached the second realm of Netherpassage, the Life realm.
The Netherpassage realm was split into four parts. The first was life and death energy, the second was life energy, the third was death energy, and the fourth was the final step of the Netherpassage realm, the Samsara realm, gaining control of Samsara energy.
The majority of Netherpassage experts were stuck in the first realm, in control of only the most basic life and death energy. This elder was the leader of this group not just because of his status as the vice island master of Heavenly Fate Island, but also due to his terrifying cultivation base.
However, such a terrifying expert was actually struck through the back by Long Chen. This scene was unbelievable. Even those close to Long Chen were dumbfounded. Just when had their boss become so powerful? Even a Netherpassage expert could be slain by him in one move.
“Boss really is boss. No one knows just how powerful he is,” chortled Guo Ran.
“When did he become so powerful? What a monster.” Mo Nian was speechless.
The most shocked ones were the disciples of the Martial Heaven Alliance. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads. Was Long Chen really human?
In his current state, he looked like an undefeatable god of war. The lightning spear in his hand and the giant lightning dragon behind him turned him into a stunning sight, an existence that they didn’t dare to look at directly.
“Little fellow, extracting my energy will make me have to leave sooner.” The silver drake sent a message to Long Chen.
This attack was his paragon art, the Wild Lightning Soul Battle Spear. Using this paragon art that was connected to the lightning field naturally used the energy of the silver drake, and it was precisely because of this that Long Chen’s attack was so powerful that the elder was unable to sense it.
“I can handle the rest. There’s no need for you to continue fighting. Just do your best to stay here as long as possible,” replied Long Chen. He was now in control as he had managed to stun his opponents.
The silver drake didn’t reply. Its aura was pulled back into its body, and it floated behind Long Chen, coldly looking at the stunned Netherpassage experts.
“Old ghost, why aren’t you saying anything anymore? Can’t you read the future? Did you ever read that you would die now?” asked Long Chen to the elder that had a lightning spear through his back.
The elder was about to speak when Long Chen’s lightning spear shook. The elder suddenly coughed up blood, a black and white crack appearing on his forehead.
“Don’t try to play with me,” sneered Long Chen. His lightning spear had just shattered the elder’s Dantian because he had tried to secretly counterattack.
The crack on the elder’s head caused startled cries to ring out from the Netherpassage experts. They knew that Long Chen had just shattered the elder’s Dantian and had heavily injured his Yuan Spirit with his powerful thunderforce. That crack indicated that his life and death energy was currently dissipating. Once it was gone, he would be dead.
Long Chen had essentially crippled the elder’s cultivation base. Now he was powerless to resist.
“Long Chen, you won’t have a good death!” roared the elder. With his cultivation base crippled, he knew he would quickly die.
“Someone definitely won’t have a good death, but it won’t be me. What do you think?” Long Chen smiled coldly. His spear once more shook.
Now the elder’s lower body exploded, leaving only his chest and upper body. Long Chen stabbed his chest again. “I’ve never provoked you, but your Heavenly Fate Island has repeatedly harmed me. Do you really think I’m so easy to bully? It seems I’ve been giving you people too much face. I’ve always operated on the principle of if you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you. But now it seems I have to show you the price for provoking me.”
Long Chen’s voice was so cold that it made other people’s hair stand on end. Those Netherpassage experts all shivered. Long Chen was absolutely ruthless. If they allowed him to grow up, none of them would survive.
“Long Chen, I curse you!”
The elder’s roar was interrupted as the rest of his body exploded. He was killed just like that.
Just at this moment, the channel behind Long Chen shook. The silver drake’s body was slowly pulled back into it, and vanished.
“Kill them!” With the silver drake gone, the Netherpassage experts roared.
Chapter 1915 The Ferocious Old Man
Suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar rang out as the lightning dragon reappeared behind Long Chen. The charging Netherpassage experts immediately retreated.
The lightning dragon rapidly spun, forming the lightning channel once more.
“Useless fools, come over here! Let me see which of you aren’t afraid of dying!” shouted Long Chen contemptuously.
Those Netherpassage experts were bewildered. The lightning channel had reappeared. Because the silver drake had previously charged out of it, they couldn’t be sure that it wouldn’t come out again. With Long Chen’s wily and mischievous nature, who knew whether or not he was laying down a trap to bait them in?
In truth, this was the real trap. Long Chen’s power was limited, and there was no way for him to maintain this spatial channel. He had only managed to summon it for a while by borrowing Meng Qi’s energy. Now, he was just maintaining some empty bravado.
This channel that Lei Long had summoned was a fake one. It wasn’t connected to the lightning field, nor did it have the power t
o reach there. Although it looked mighty, it was an empty shell.
However, this empty shell was so terrifying to these Netherpassage experts that they didn’t dare to approach. No one was willing to take the risk of testing the channel. Hence, they were waiting for someone else to test it for them.
The death of that elder from Heavenly Fate Island made them lose their backbones. They were old foxes that had lived for countless years. And the older they lived, the more afraid of dying they became.
For a long moment, Long Chen simply stood there with a disdainful smile. The lightning dragon roared behind him, and these old foxes were kept at bay.
“What are you doing? Are you fighting or not? If not, scram. We haven’t eaten yet, and we’re starting to get hungry,” shouted Guo Ran. His confidence in Long Chen was close to blind.
“That’s right, if you’re going to attack, then hurry up. What are you still waiting for? You’ve lived for so many years, aren’t you tired of life? The sooner you die, the sooner you can reincarnate. Don’t you want to see what it’s like to be a new person?” Mo Nian also followed.
“Exactly. I’ll tell you the truth, our boss is just trying to frighten you. Come and attack!”
Even the Dragonblood warriors joined in, mocking the Netherpassage experts, making them furious.
Long Chen kept a faint smile on his face, but his palms were behind his back and sweating.
It seemed his friends and allies really weren’t afraid of death. If these Netherpassage experts were to charge over, they would be doomed. They should be a bit gentler with their conning. If one of the Netherpassage experts lost control of their anger, they would be instantly exposed.
Long Chen was as nervous as possible, but he had to act like victory was in his grasp. He had to look lightly upon the opposing experts.
“We can’t just keep waiting. He might be bluffing, so we just have to test it with a probing blow. There’s no need to commit to an all-out attack,” said one of the Netherpassage experts suddenly, seeming to have noticed something.
