These two peak divine items smashed together, causing a heaven-shaking explosion. Black light exploded, and the earth was torn asunder.
Ji Wuming coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew back, shocked. Evilmoon had actually relied on its own power to block his attack.
As for Evilmoon, it was blown into the distance. Even once Long Chen caught it, he ended up being dragged away by its momentum.
“Have you made some mistake? Didn’t you say that you were some amazing existence that could kill him like killing a chicken? Don’t tell me that it was all bragging!” raged Long Chen.
“Shut up! I’ve been sealed for too long, and that bastard Yun Shang exhausted all my power, not leaving me with anything. Otherwise, I’d have killed this idiot! And he’s using the power of karmic luck to boost himself. He’s absorbing the very energy of the Martial Heaven Continent, while I’m relying on myself, so being able to draw is already decent. Also, let me remind you that our agreement has come to an end now that my seal is undone. For me to help you now is a favor, understood? Learn how to be grateful!” Evilmoon also raged.
“Grateful my ass, he’s coming back!”
Long Chen swung Evilmoon, activating his world energy. He found that Evilmoon was too unreliable, always saying that it could subdue the entire world if its seal was undone. Long Chen had thought that once he undid its seal, he could just sit back and clean up the battlefield. But in reality, this bastard had just been saying some big words. It hadn’t recovered its former energy.
“Split the Heavens 7!”
Long Chen directly used his strongest attack. The two dragon marks on Evilmoon lit up, and a dragon cry rang out. However, what surprised Long Chen was that it was a double dragon roar.
One dragon roar came from Evilmoon, while another roar came from within Long Chen’s body. Evilmoon was actually forming a resonance with the Azure Dragon Battle Armor.
BOOM!
Evilmoon collided with the Fantasy Star Sword once more. This time the clash was even more violent, and even the Dragonblood Legion was affected by the shockwaves.
However, their battle had already ended. The Unfettered Allseer was pierced through with willow branches and was in Liu Ruyan’s hands. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
The Dragonblood warriors hastily retreated in the face of their collision, directly going to Qu Jianying’s side.
Qu Jianying, the old man, and the others were all stunned that the Dragonblood Legion had managed to handle the Unfettered Allseer. Their power had truly surpassed their expectations.
One saber-image after another came slashing out at Ji Wuming. He was actually forced to retreat time and time again.
“Hehe, boss really is the boss. No matter how much stronger we get, we can only barely manage to see his back,” sighed Guo Ran. Their advancement had made them feel like they had finally shortened the distance between themselves and Long Chen, but now they found that while they had gotten stronger, Long Chen had gotten even stronger.
The Martial Heaven Alliance’s elders sighed in amazement. Everyone in the Dragonblood Legion was a monster, but these monsters all worshipped Long Chen, an even greater monster.
Based on the fact that Long Chen had broken Sovereign Yun Shang’s seal, they guessed that Long Chen had some kind of connection to Sovereign Yun Shang. Otherwise, no one in this world was capable of undoing a Sovereign’s seal.
If Sovereign seals were so easy to undo, then the devil race from Devil Spirit Mountain would have already attacked, and the Yin Yang World’s Blood race would also have invaded them.
The Sovereigns were supreme existences. Let alone a Life Star disciple like Long Chen, even an existence greater than a peak Netherpassage expert wouldn’t be anything in front of a Sovereign. They were all ants in comparison to the Sovereigns.
For Long Chen to actually have such a connection with a Sovereign, just how heaven-defying did his luck have to be? That kind of opportunity was enough to drive people crazy with envy.
BOOM!
The earth shook intensely. Long Chen and Ji Wuming had vanished from sight.
As the ground continued to shake, lava and giant boulders began flying out of the ground. The two of them had actually taken their fight underground.
“Long Chen, it's not worth it for you to fight like this. How many years has Heavenly Fate Island been accumulating karmic luck? He’s not using up much of his own energy at all. As long as you wait a few days, most of his karmic luck will have run out. Killing him then will be easy!” shouted Evilmoon. They were at a disadvantage in this kind of fight.
Heavenly Fate Island had only just been destroyed, its karmic luck was currently dissipating rapidly. Although it had been gathered over tens and even hundreds of thousands of years, it would only take a few days for half of it to run out. Then in the following months, the remaining half would completely vanish. At that time, the Fantasy Star Sword would crumble.
Today, the Fantasy Star Sword still possessed ninety percent of Heavenly Fate Island’s karmic luck. Tomorrow, it would only have seventy. The next day, it would only have sixty. It would rapidly fade away.
Fighting today was completely benefiting the other side.
“Can you have some face? What happened to your integrity? Is this the dignity of the dark evil dragon race? You showed off so much but you want to just run? You might not care about your face, but what about mine?” demanded Long Chen.
Evilmoon was embarrassed and angered. Although its seal was undone, it had none of its core energy. It hadn’t expected Yun Shang to not leave him with the slightest bit of it. Evilmoon also didn’t want the first show of its power to end on such a lackluster note, but what else could be done?
BOOM!
The ground exploded as Long Chen and Ji Wuming flew back into the sky. Evilmoon’s black saber-images filled the sky, fighting against the starry sky unleashed by the Fantasy Star Sword. Each attack caused a world-shaking collision, showing people what a world-shaking battle truly was.
This world-shaking battle wasn’t being fought by two people in the same realm. No, it was a Life Star expert fighting across realms against a Netherpassage expert. People couldn’t help looking back at Xie Luo and the others.
Of the experts that had besieged Long Chen, only Xie Luo, Di Feng, and Yan Wei were left. However, they felt hopeless as they watched Long Chen fight Ji Wuming. Long Chen was like a giant mountain blocking their path. Let alone conquering this mountain, they weren’t even qualified to look up at it.
The battle continued. Eventually, Ji Wuming laughed upon noticing that after two hours of fighting, Long Chen’s aura was starting to fall.
“Hahaha, Long Chen, I have Heavenly Fate Island’s karmic luck supporting me! What are you going to use to fight me?!”
Chapter 1988 Undefeatable
“Fight with you? No, I’m going to kill you,” sneered Long Chen. He raised Evilmoon back onto his shoulder, panting a bit.
Their wild battle had resulted in his spiritual yuan dropping. The Azure Dragon Battle Armor, utilizing his world energy, and the Five Star Battle Armor gave him immense power but used up a great deal of energy. Evilmoon in particular consumed much more energy after having its seal undone. Its weight was astonishing.
At first, the majority of the energy had come from Evilmoon, but then it had become half and half, and then Evilmoon had run out of energy, leaving most of the burden on Long Chen.
Long Chen cursed Evilmoon for being unreliable. He had thought that after undoing its seal, it would be able to dominate these old monsters.
Even though he had the energy within his 108,000 stars and his divine ring absorbing energy, he couldn’t keep up with this exhaustion.
As for Ji Wuming, he was using the karmic luck of Heavenly Fate Island. He wasn’t using up much of his own energy. On the other hand, Long Chen had already used up a third of his spiritual yuan. Any more and his combat power would weaken, and he would exhaust himself even more to keep up,
“Kill me? What a huge joke. I have endless karmic luck supporting me. The world’s energy is mine, while you have nothing,” sneered Ji Wuming.
The distant experts couldn’t help shaking their heads at this shamelessness. He was actually fighting a battle of attrition with a Life Star disciple and even mocked him? He was essentially cheating by relying on Heavenly Fate Island’s karmic luck. This wasn’t even his own power.
“Should we attack together?” whispered Gu Yang.
“What are you worrying about? If boss says he’s going to kill him, he’s definitely capable of doing it. We just have to watch,” said Guo Ran. He might even have more confidence in Long Chen than Long Chen himself.
Within the Dragonblood Legion, Chu Yao smiled faintly. She slowly closed her eyes and formed hand seals. Three verdant leaves appeared behind her. Those leaves glistened brightly, almost seeming to drip energy.
Three giant leaves also appeared behind Long Chen. In that instant, he felt his energy rise once more to its peak.
Ji Wuming had been planning on capturing Long Chen once he was exhausted. Although the Fantasy Star Sword’s energy was also being exhausted by Long Chen’s ferocious attacks, it wasn’t as bad as Long Chen’s energy consumption.
Although Heavenly Fate Island had been destroyed, that didn’t mean that he couldn’t establish his own sect, becoming the founder and ancestor of a new power. By catching Long Chen, he would be able to obtain enough for that sect. He could use Long Chen as a gambling chip to bargain with Pill Valley and get the resources that he needed. So he hadn’t been pressing Long Chen hard for fear that he would run, or the old man and the others would come save him.
“Split the Heavens 7!”
It was a nice plan, but Long Chen suddenly unleashed a thunderous attack that sent him flying back and coughing up blood.
“Why bother? Exposing your trump cards for this?” Evilmoon sighed. In its eyes, Ji Wuming was essentially crippled. There was no need for Long Chen to force himself to kill him.
Even if they just waited a day, Long Chen would be able to easily defeat him. In two days, Ji Wuming would have to flee on sight. In three days, Ji Wuming wouldn’t even be able to flee upon seeing him.
Evilmoon didn’t know what nerve of Long Chen’s had been plucked, but he simply refused to wait. Exposing the Wood Spirit Union for this was definitely not worth it.
Long Chen ignored Evilmoon’s sigh. He knew that he had to kill Ji Wuming no matter what the price.
Chu Yao’s Wood Spirit Union was even more amazing than before. She had advanced to the Life Star realm and had created a giant astral space. The Life Star realm was perfect for wood cultivators. While an ordinary Life Star expert would have their spiritual yuan increase by ten or even tens of times due to creating an astral space, wood cultivators would see their wood spirit energy increase a hundredfold perhaps up to a thousandfold.
With the Wood Spirit Union, Long Chen’s spiritual yuan instantly reached max capacity once more. Even his soul was being nourished and he was completely refreshed.
“Now you know what I’m using to fight you?” sneered Long Chen, once more attacking with the seventh form of Split the Heavens. It was like he didn’t even have energy considerations anymore.
Ji Wuming was forced back repeatedly and continuously coughed up blood.
“This is…”
The experts looked in shock at Long Chen. His aura had clearly been dropping, but now he had instantly returned to his peak condition.
“It’s that girl!”
Everyone turned to look at Chu Yao who was in the Dragonblood Legion. Her manifestation was active, and within it was an endless river cutting the world in two. The river flowed and surged, unleashing waves of life energy. The battlefield was a ruined land, but the area around Chu Yao was blooming with all kinds of vegetation. It was sprouting out of the ground like it was spring. Only the area around her was a world of thriving life.
“What amazing life energy.” People couldn’t help sighing. They had never heard of a wood cultivator that was so powerful.
At this time, Yu Xiaoyun realized why no one from the Dragonblood Legion went to help Long Chen. They had a powerful wood cultivator amongst them that could share energy with Long Chen. Hence, they were there to guarantee her safety.
Ji Wuming tumbled back, unable to endure.
“His Fantasy Star Sword…!”
Startled cries rang out. A thumb-sized nick had appeared in the Fantasy Star Sword. That meant that its karmic luck had already mostly been exhausted. As for Ji Wuming, his own life and death energy was unable to block Long Chen’s berserk attacks.
“We can’t let him die!” Yu Xiaoyun’s expression changed. He charged over.
“Get back here.” The old man had been keeping a close eye on Yu Xiaoyun and immediately launched an attack with the Heaven Splitting Blade.
Yu Xiaoyun’s expression changed. He immediately gave up on saving Ji Wuming and switched to defending against his madman opponent. He couldn’t let the old man unleash any big suicidal moves.
However, the others hadn’t even had time to move when a giant dragon claw came smashing down from the sky. It was the silver drake king.
Lei Long had consumed so much thunderforce from Long Chen’s thunderforce that it couldn’t endure it. By creating the lightning channel once more, it could let out a bit of that energy so that it could focus on absorbing it slowly instead of simply containing it.
This lightning channel was very stable, but it still wasn’t enough to allow the entire drake king to fit through. However, just one claw was no problem.
Ji Wuming howled, blocking with his sword. As a result, the dragon claw exploded, but Ji Wuming was now covered in cracks.
“Die!”
Long Chen once more unleashed the seventh form of Split the Heavens. Ji Wuming summoned all his power to defend again.
As a result, the Fantasy Star Sword exploded along with its master, and Ji Wuming’s Yuan Spirit was slain along with him. The leader of Heavenly Fate Island, a Netherpassage expert of the third step, someone supported with a core divine item that was using up its karmic luck to fight, was slain by a Life Star disciple. The world was silent for a moment.
Rumbling rang out as nine lightning drakes appeared in the sky. They were the strongest lightning drakes within the lightning field other than their king.
Their bodies were now much larger, but the surprising thing was the slight bulge on their foreheads. That was where a dragon’s horn was supposed to be.
A drake was not a dragon, and drakes did not have a dragon horn. For this sign to now appear meant that they were truly starting to transform into dragons.
Originally, they would have never managed to become true lightning dragons in their lifetimes, but it was the divine nature of Long Chen’s tribulation that had caused this transformation. They had not only gotten stronger, but their intelligence had also grown.
The nine drakes unleashed a united dragon cry, which was like rolling thunder. They coiled behind Long Chen, glaring at Yu Xiaoyun and the others. It seemed that if Long Chen gave the order, they would attack.
Long Chen was soaked in blood, yet he appeared mightier than ever. With the nine drakes behind him, he seemed like a god. A killing god.
“Yu Xiaoyun, bring your people away and scram. Today is a joyous day, celebrating the rise of the Dragonblood Legion. I’m not in the mood to kill people, so you can decide whether you want things to stop here or to fight,” shouted Long Chen.
Looking at Long Chen who appeared like a killing god, people couldn’t help muttering to themselves that if he looked like this when he wasn’t in a mood to kill, what would he look like when he was?
The old man was smiling brightly at the fact that Long Chen had slain Ji Wuming. He returned to his camp. “Fuck, today was really satisfying.” He had never been so proud in his life. It was like Long Chen’s glory was his own.
Yu Xiaoyun’s expression was dark. He looke
d at the nine lightning drakes and the channel behind them. The silver drake king didn’t come out. He then looked at the Dragonblood Legion and Qu Jianying and the others.
“There’s no need to look. Our power is definitely greater than your side’s If we go to war, your losses will definitely be greater than ours. Most importantly, the Martial Heaven Alliance’s hearts are united, while your alliance is nothing more than a clobbered group. Hurry up and decide whether or not we’re fighting,” sneered Long Chen.
“Long Chen, count yourself vicious today. However, don’t get too pleased.”
Yu Xiaoyun actually turned and left, with the other experts following.
Chapter 1989 A Netherpassage Expert of the Fourth Step
Yu Xiaoyun and the others left, and cheering burst out of the side of the Martial Heaven Alliance. They had won.
This was the Martial Heaven Alliance’s first head-on strike back after being constantly suppressed by Pill Valley and the others. This was a complete victory. Pill Valley’s side would no longer dare to be as arrogant as before.
Countless disciples flocked over to the Dragonblood Legion, not bothering to conceal their worship for them at all. The name of the world’s number one legion was set in stone, with no one being able to shake them from that position.
“What an actor. They really got scared away by you.” Evilmoon sighed. Long Chen had actually tricked everyone.
In truth, fighting so intensely against Ji Wuming had not been as easy as Long Chen had made it out to be. Each exchange had resulted in a backlash. His skeleton was now covered in cracks, and those wounds could be likened to a curse from the karmic luck. That was the energy of the world, and even life energy could not immediately wipe it out.
The most important thing though was that combining the power of his world energy, the azure dragon essence blood, and Evilmoon was not something he was used to. Cracks also appeared on his 108,000 stars. If things had continued, he would have been crippled. If his astral spaces exploded, then his path of domination would come to an end.
However, Long Chen had acted like he was in peak condition, scaring away Yu Xiaoyun.
