A divine rune appeared on True Immortal Jiaoqi’s forehead, and his Blood Qi soared. He was actually igniting his own essence blood in exchange for greater power. As a result, Wilde was steadily forced back. Now Wilde was also enraged, and his bronze skin suddenly became silver, and silver runes appeared in his eyes.
BOOM!
True Immortal Jiaoqi was instantly blown back, almost coughing up blood.
True Immortal Jiaoqi was shocked. He had never seen such terrifying power. This was different from Long Chen.
Wilde once more smashed his club. To defend himself, True Immortal Jiaoqi raised his halberd hastily, but his powerful divine item was actually smashed apart, breaking into two fragments. His arms exploded, blood splattering.
After one smash of his club, Wilde followed it up with another smash. There was no technique. It was like a fool wildly swinging, but his power seemed endless.
“No!”
True Immortal Jiaoqi let out one final unwilling roar. Having ignited his essence blood, he had lost the ability to quickly restore his arms.
Wilde’s club didn’t stop just because of one unwilling roar. True Immortal Jiaoqi’s head was smashed apart, which resulted in the death of his Yuan Spirit as well. A generation’s genius fell.
Within the Xuan Beasts, an elder let out a furious roar. He was the qilin-drake race’s leader. True Immortal Jiaoqi had been their top genius and was viewed as their hope for the future. Hence, they had bet all their resources on him, thinking that he would lead their race to a new glory. But he had died here.
Once True Immortal Jiaoqi died, even before his body fell to the ground, Wilde pounced forward, biting his corpse.
Crunching sounds rang out. In just a few seconds, half of True Immortal Jiaoqi’s corpse was devoured.
“Bastard!”
The qilin-drake experts were infuriated and charged toward Wilde. The Xuan Beasts only viewed others as prey, but no one dared to view them like that. Hence, being defiled this way was a huge insult.
Seeing others come to disturb him, Wilde put away True Immortal Jiaoqi’s corpse and raised his club.
What shocked people was that even the leader of the qilin-drake race, a second step Netherpassage expert, was instantly blown apart by a swing of Wilde’s club. His divine item was nothing in front of that club.
After being killed, he transformed into his giant true form that delighted Wilde.
“Food!”
Wilde didn’t cultivate. He strengthened himself purely from eating. During intense fights, he always exhausted a great deal of energy and got hungry.
Now seeing that these people would ‘become Magical Beasts’ after being killed, he was ecstatic. He charged toward the Netherpassage experts.
Even Netherpassage experts were unable to block Wilde’s attacks. That bone club was too terrifying. Ordinary divine items would instantly be blown to bits.
However, very quickly, Wilde became dumbfounded to find that even after he had killed several more people, they didn’t transform into Magical Beasts. Long Chen had told him that unless he had no other choice, he couldn’t eat people. If they didn’t transform, he couldn’t eat them.
“Wilde, aim for the bigger ones. Those people will transform into Magical Beasts. You can eat those!” shouted Guo Ran from the distance.
Hearing this reminder, Wilde immediately charged toward one of his larger enemies. As expected, once he was killed with a simple swing of Wilde’s club, he transformed into a giant Xuan Beast, delighting Wilde.
Wilde might be powerful, but his intelligence was low. He found it miraculous that a person could transform into a Magical Beast. He charged through the Xuan Beasts, able to mostly tell who they were.
As for those Xuan Beasts, their expressions changed. A figure suddenly appeared, wielding a rod-like weapon and smashed it at Wilde.
“That’s Long Juncang!” Qu Jianying and the others’ expressions changed. The one blocking Wilde was actually the leader of the ancient races.
Chapter 1984 Slaying Huo Lieyun
The leader of the ancient races, Long Juncang, personally went to handle Wilde with a copper rod in his hand. Legend was that this rod’s runes had been personally engraved by an almighty expert of the ancient races, an expert so powerful that they had merged the magical arts of the human race and the divine abilities of the Xuan Beasts.
Wilde didn’t care who his opponent was though. Seeing that he was another big one, Wilde was delighted.
BOOM!
The bone club collided with the copper rod. As a result, black cracks spread throughout the whole air.
Wilde’s hand broke, and he flew across the ground. As for Long Juncang, he was actually forced back several steps.
“Old fellow, I want to eat you!” Wilde charged back toward Long Juncang.
The experts present were all stunned. Just what kind of monster was Wilde to be able to survive an attack from a third step Netherpassage expert? In fact, he didn’t even seem to view him seriously.
Wilde was swinging his club through the air in a wheel-like fashion against the copper rod. They began to repeatedly clash, and they were actually evenly matched.
“How is that possible?”
The great leader of the ancient races was actually stopped by a member of the junior generation? Long Juncang clearly wasn’t holding back, but Wilde was capable of stopping him. No one had expected there to be such a terrifying figure within the Dragonblood Legion capable of stopping one of the overlord figures of the continent.
However, at the very least, Wilde had been stopped, allowing the Xuan Beasts to sigh with relief. They were terrified of Wilde.
On the other side, the old man was fighting against Yu Xiaoyun. This time, Yu Xiaoyun had learned from his last fight against the old man. The Brahma Divine Diagram and Daynight Furnace danced through the air, not giving the old man any chance to use the ninth form of Split the Heavens. He was clearly afraid of that move and didn’t want to give the old man a chance to use that suicidal move. Even he wasn’t confident in receiving the old man’s suicidal blow.
Qu Jianying was blocking Di Long, Yan Nantian was blocking Zhong Ziyang, and the other three Grand Elders were blocking Peng Wanli and Xie Wentian.
“Hmph, your longevity has run out. There’s no way you can reach Samsara. Are you just using your lives to fight at death’s door?” sneered Xie Wentian.
“Haha, fighting at death’s door? We haven’t reached that point, right? We've been very lucky. We can already see hope for the future. Even if we die, we can die at peace. But it seems that the Corrupt path is different. One of the three Corrupt Kings was slain by Lingshan, and so you had to add a replacement. But even so, they’re unable to stop Long Chen. It seems that the one at their death’s door is your side!” responded the Grand Elder fighting him.
Originally, due to their longevity running out, they would have only been able to unleash seventy percent of their peak power. However, Long Chen had brought back the Life Extending Fruit from the Yin Yang World. If used during a person’s middle ages, then it could increase their lifespan by three hundred years.
However, the Grand Elders had already gone too far. Even consuming them had only given them an extra twenty years.
They didn’t really care about being able to live twenty more years. They had already witnessed the passing of countless years, of countless changes in the world. The only thing that had been holding them back from leaving peacefully was their worry for the Martial Heaven Alliance.
The reason why they cared about the Life Extending Fruit was because it allowed them to unleash ninety percent of their original peak power. Although they would die after going all-out, they were satisfied.
Furthermore, the most terrifying thing in this world was someone who didn’t fear death. The Grand Elders were exactly that. As soon as they started fighting, they would be fighting to the death no matter what. Their killing power was not a joke.
That was why the supreme powers wer
e not actually fighting. Other than the old man and Yu Xiaoyun, as well as Wilde and Long Juncang, the others were simply facing each other. There were two critical figures that made them unable to fight all out. One was the Unfettered Allseer, and the other was Ji Wuming.
The two of them had already charged past, going toward Long Chen. So Xie Wentian and the others didn’t need to attack. They just needed to make sure that their opponents didn’t get to interfere.
As for why Qu Jianying and the others didn’t do anything, that was because just as those two had started flying over, Li Tianxuan had sent a message to them that Long Chen wanted to let the two of them pass. Although they didn’t know what Long Chen was planning, they chose to trust him.
On that side, Long Chen was still dominating his battlefield. His blade was unleashing waves of Saber Qi that were like crescent moons.
After True Immortal Jiaoqi had fled, he had fallen at Wilde’s hands. Then the others had attacked, but Long Chen blocked Huo Lieyun, Xie Luo, Di Feng, Yan Wei, and Gui Can’s attack with one slash of his saber and then attacked the four Fate Princes as their swords lit up, not giving them a chance to unleash their combination arts.
Long Chen felt like he was full of energy and that he would explode if he didn’t use it.
The four Fate Princes had just been injured by his attack when a black saber-image tore through them, slaying them easily.
True Immortal Jiaoqi had fled, and now the four Fate Princes were dead. That was a fatal blow to their morale. Huo Lieyun, Di Feng, Xie Luo, Gui Can, and Yan Wei were panicking. They were already going all-out, but unable to suppress Long Chen in the slightest.
“Hold on! He’s not going to last much longer!” shouted Huo Lieyun. Using some unknown method, he began to incinerate his own body, causing his power to leap once more.
Huo Lieyun and the others could tell that they no longer had any chance of defeating Long Chen. But as long as they could hold on a couple more seconds, the Unfettered Allseer and Ji Wuming would arrive. Then it would still be their victory.
As long as they could last a breath’s time, they would be able to get away. But during that one breath’s time, they couldn’t retreat.
That wasn’t just because they were afraid of Long Chen escaping. It would signify an absolute defeat, one that would be crushing no matter what the circumstances were. They had to endure.
Di Feng, Xie Luo, Gui Can, and Yan Wei also went all-out, not only igniting their own essence blood for power, but also sacrificing a great deal of their vitality to activate their divine items.
“Split the Heavens 7!”
For the first time, Long Chen used Split the Heavens in this battle. He didn’t even need to accumulate energy. He could unleash it as he wished.
Huo Lieyun, Di Feng, Xie Luo, Gui Can, and Yan Wei’s combined attacks were blown away, and the five of them were sent tumbling back, coughing up blood. Huo Lieyun’s flames had dimmed greatly from the start.
Long Chen’s gaze turned to Huo Lieyun, and Saber Qi streaked across the air. The flame giant that was Huo Lieyun was sliced in two.
“I’m a flame spirit! I possess an undying body! You can’t kill me!” roared Huo Lieyun, the two halves of his body merging back together.
Long Chen once more slashed his saber, interrupting his merger and cutting him into four. His flames once more dimmed.
“Hahaha! It’s useless! Even if you slice me into a million pieces, it will only weaken me. You can’t kill me!” Huo Lieyun laughed crazily. It seemed that this was the only aspect he could be proud of in front of Long Chen.
“When did I say I wanted to kill you?” sneered Long Chen.
“Watch out!” The other four suddenly let out terrified cries.
A giant flame dragon appeared in the sky, devouring one of Huo Lieyun’s four portions. When that portion of himself was devoured, Huo Lieyun let out a horrified shriek. He found that his connection to that flame energy had vanished.
“Being cut in four makes you the perfect size,” mocked Long Chen. The flame dragon devoured another portion.
Huo Lieyun had condensed the Flame Devil Body and was made of the purest flame energy. At the start, Yu Xiaoyun hadn’t had any hopes of Huo Lieyun actually managing to condense it, but upon seeing him succeed, Pill Valley had let him devour the majority of their Earth Flames in order to strengthen him.
It could be said that Yu Xiaoyun had once more placed high hopes on Huo Lieyun. But now his Flame Devil Body had become a fat piece of meat for Huo Long.
Huo Lieyun was terrified. He tried to flee, but his body was still split, and his reactions were slower. As a result, one more piece of him was devoured.
Huo Lieyun howled. With just a quarter of his energy, he had no power to flee. He cried for help, but Huo Long devoured him without the slightest mercy. Another genius died.
“Long Chen, face your death!”
Once Huo Lieyun was killed, the Unfettered Allseer and Ji Wuming finally arrived. Long Chen met them with a disdainful smile.
In truth, the two of them had had a chance to save Huo Lieyun just now, but they had intentionally slowed down a bit.
Clearly, they hadn’t wanted to save him. Their Heavenly Fate Island and four Fate Princes had been destroyed. Even if they wanted to create a new sect, it wasn’t too likely it could rise once more. This was all the fault of Pill Valley. Heavenly Fate Island only had a few weak disciples left and the two of them. In their hatred, they wished for others to meet an equally miserable fate.
The Unfettered Allseer and Ji Wuming had just approached Long Chen when a shout rang out.
“Dragonblood Cross Slash!”
A giant cross split heaven and earth in two. It was like the harbinger of death, and the center of it streaked toward the Unfettered Allseer and Ji Wuming.
Chapter 1985 The Dragonblood Legion’s Power
The Dragonblood warriors slaughtering their enemies had suddenly bunched together. Their bodies began to shine, and they formed a giant arrowhead formation.
At the tip of the arrowhead was Guo Ran with his golden sabers crossed in front of him. Energy from all the Dragonblood warriors converged upon him.
A giant cross slashed out, and anyone in its path, whether it was a genius Life Star disciple or a Netherpassage elder, as long as they touched it, was blown to smithereens.
This was their first time using this move since they had advanced to the Life Star realm. Every Dragonblood warrior was wearing armor that Guo Ran had made, armor which was a perfect set with their swords. Those were all divine items, and their divine runes had been made specially by Xia Chen so that they could all share the Dragonblood warriors’ world energy and dragon blood energy.
Now, this attack became the most thunderous and grand attack to appear on the entire battlefield. Even the Unfettered Allseer and Ji Wuming’s expressions changed.
They were Netherpassage experts of the third step, but even they sensed the threat of death from this attack. Their life and death energy erupted as they defended.
BOOM!
The giant cross of death exploded into blinding divine light, and a powerful shockwave sent even Long Chen flying. As for Xie Luo, Di Feng, Gui Can, and Yan Wei, they were hacking of blood, and Gui Can in particular almost exploded due to his weaker physical body.
Perhaps it was simply his bad luck, but while the others were flying back, Gui Can ended up closer and closer to Long Chen.
“I’ll send you on your way.” Long Chen had almost coughed up blood from the impact, but seeing Gui Can getting closer, he attacked without hesitation.
“No!”
Gui Can exploded, another genius dying. His death was truly unlucky.
True Immortal Jiaoqi, the four Fate Princes, Huo Lieyun, Gui Can. Seven of the Martial Heaven Continent’s peak geniuses had been killed. Now, the only ones left were Di Feng, Xie Luo, and Yan Wei. However, the three of them were in a miserable state from the shockwaves of the Dragonblood Cross Slash. It was unknown if they were
even alive.
After all, that was an attack containing the power of the entire Dragonblood Legion. The world was deformed from this one attack.
As the dust settled, it revealed two wretched figures in the sky. The Unfettered Allseer had blood dripping from his mouth. His Daoist robes were in tatters, making him look like a beggar.
Ji Wuming was a bit better. He wasn’t injured. However, his hair was in disarray.
“Two third step Netherpassage experts worked together, but one of them was still injured…” One of the neutral camp’s experts sighed with shock.
“The Unfettered Allseer’s cultivation base should probably be a bit lower than Ji Wuming’s. Furthermore, Ji Wuming has the Fantasy Star Sword. The difference between them is obvious.”
The Fantasy Star Sword might have lost a great deal of power due to the destruction of Heavenly Fate Island’s divine pool, but that damage was more like a slow poison. The Fantasy Star Sword’s power and life were slowly dripping away. But right now, it still had most of its power.
“I’ll go kill Long Chen. You eliminate the scum,” said Ji Wuming, shooting toward Long Chen.
Ji Wuming went off after Long Chen, but it was the Dragonblood Legion that collapsed upon the Unfettered Allseer. Gu Yang was the first to attack.
Gu Yang’s manifestation was active behind him, and runes revolved around his entire body. The muscles on his arms bulged, and it was like there were serpents wriggling beneath his skin. His spear unleashed immense divine power.
“Little ant, scram!” The Unfettered Allseer was infuriated. The Dragonblood Cross Slash had injured him. If he hadn’t been with Ji Wuming, he would be in an even more wretched state. In just a day, he felt like he had gone through countless torments. If he didn’t vent a bit, he was sure he would explode.
BOOM!
The Unfettered Allseer swung through the air. His life and death energy burst out as he unleashed a full-power strike. However, what shocked him was that Gu Yang didn’t die. Gu Yang was blown back. His arms were broken, but he was otherwise alive.
