Sha Tiantong hated everyone and showed no mercy in his attacks, yet his full-force strike was actually blasted away by the flying spear.
His entire body surged with blood and energy, his tiger's mouth split open, and he nearly lost control of his long blade. His face was filled with shock as he looked behind Su Yu. At one glance, he spotted Long Chen on the altar, and when he saw Long Chen, his pupils suddenly contracted.
At this moment, behind Long Chen was a ten-thousand-mile-long Heavenly Vein dragon aura surging. Its body was filled with starlight, and it spun once behind him. In an instant, all the energy in the world was devoured by it.
Su Yu narrowly escaped death, and she was stunned too. Previously, there was still a lot of energy left in heaven and earth, but Long Chen's Heavenly Vein dragon energy had appeared and was instantly drained dry.
Even with her extensive experience, she had never seen such a Heavenly Vein dragon aura. It was like a giant star dragon, overlooking heaven and earth. Its body contained endless star power, as if it were a microcosm of a universe.
"Snap!"
Su Yu reached out and grabbed the spear in front of him. At this moment, the starry radiance on the spear slowly faded, but the remaining power within it still hadn't been fully released.
"Boom!"
At that moment, an Eight-Vein Heavenly Saint charged at her. She blocked casually, and with a loud explosion, the weapon's weapon was shattered by her spear, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Su Yu was shocked; she hadn't expected the residual power within the spear to be so terrifying, severely injuring the Eight Veins Heavenly Saint with a single blow.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
Behind Long Chen, his divine ring trembled, the dragon energy of the Heavenly Vein flowed. At this moment, he resembled a war god in the starry sky, gazing down upon eternity.
"That's a bit exaggerated. So much Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi, yet it's only one peak vein, and it's impossible to condense a second Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi." Long Chen felt the power of the Heavenly Vein dragon energy, his eyes filled with shock and terror.
Long Chen originally thought that with such a large amount of Destiny Power, he could condense three Heavenly Veins of Dragon Qi, or at least two.
However, when the Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi reached its peak, it devoured all the power of heaven and earth in one go, then stopped moving. The second strand of Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi showed no sign at all.
"Don't be unaware of your blessings in the midst of blessings. The greater the consumption, the stronger the Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi you condense." Qiankun Cauldron said irritably.
"Die!"
At that moment, Sha Tiantong snapped out of his shock and let out a furious roar, charging at Long Chen.
"Whew."
At this moment,
Su Yu couldn't figure out Long Chen's situation. Although Long Chen's star dragon vein looked astonishing, its fluctuations were extremely strange—seemingly strong, yet also seemingly weak and powerless. She immediately intervened to block it.
"Get lost, you damned ant..."
Seeing Su Yu recklessly blocking him, Sha Tiantong flew into a rage. The demonic blade changed direction and slashed fiercely at Su Yu.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Su Yu was preparing to defend with all her might, the void suddenly twisted, and a figure appeared before her—it was Long Chen.
"Long Chen..."
When Long Chen appeared, Su Yu cried out in surprise, because Long Chen was standing right in front of her, hands behind his back. Facing Sha Tiantong's fierce slash, he hadn't blocked it.
"Boom!"
Under Su Yu's shocked gaze, Sha Tiantong's demonic blade struck fiercely at Long Chen's shoulder, yet this world-shattering strike didn't harm Long Chen in the slightest.
At this moment, Long Chen was surrounded by a starry sky battle armor, starlight swirling, divine radiance dazzling, and the sharp demonic blade was only an inch from Long Chen's shoulder, yet it couldn't advance even an inch.
Seeing this, Su Yu covered her cherry lips with her jade-like hand, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Long Chen had only condensed a single Heavenly Vein dragon energy, yet he could ignore Sha Tiantong's attacks. Was he a monster?
Everyone, friend and foe alike, was stunned. They instinctively stopped fighting, slowly retreated, and stared intently at Long Chen.
Sha Tiantong was also dumbfounded; he couldn't believe what was happening before him.
"Tick-tock tick-tock...
Demonic blood overflowed from his thumb, dripping slowly along the hilt. He slashed Long Chen, who remained unharmed, but he was injured.
Long Chen condensed a complete Heavenly Vein dragon energy. He sensed that within this vein dragon energy contained a power even he feared. The reason he didn't fight back was to test the current power of the stars.
Long Chen risked his injuries to assess his own strength, which would help him understand his own level.
However, after this strike, Long Chen appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was so excited that it was beyond words.
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, Long Chen feigned indifference, glancing sideways at the Killing Heaven Passage:
"Killing Heaven Pass?" Fight your way out to the Heavens? Unfortunately, when we encounter Master Long San, this path is blocked!"
"I don't believe it... Sha
Tiantong roared, suddenly retreating. He spread his arms, eight of the dragon energy of the Heavenly Veins burning rapidly, his aura soaring explosively.
At this moment, he had already fallen into madness, not caring whether the embryonic heavenly vein would collapse. He burned the heavenly vein directly and entered a berserk state. His aura was circulating, myriad paths tearing apart, and his aura had increased several times over before.
The terrifying demonic might pressed down on everyone, making it hard to breathe. Even Su Yu couldn't withstand the overwhelming pressure and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
"Such terrifying demonic might... One
of the
eight squad leaders couldn't help but exclaim.
"Such a terrifying creature, our destruction of his advancement—even if he dies, it's worth it." Another captain chuckled.
"I don't think we'll die. This Long Chen is even more terrifying than that monster. Trust me, I have a feeling neither of us will die!" Another captain said confidently.
As they spoke, they made hand signals, shrinking the formation and slowly retreating behind Long Chen.
They were all battle-hardened veterans. Although they had misjudged Long Chen before, they hadn't realized Long Chen was a terrifying powerhouse. If they couldn't see through it now, it would mean they were too foolish.
"Rumble rumble rumble...
The power of
Sha Tiantong's Heavenly Vein was still burning wildly, his aura surging rapidly, his strength seemingly endless, and the oppressive pressure sent chills down one's spine.
The demon clan warriors all retreated, forming a massive encirclement. Their sole goal was to prevent anyone from escaping.
They knew that Sha Tiantong had already gone completely berserk at this moment. His long-planned plan had been ruined, and if these people escaped, Sha Tiantong's wrath would be beyond what they could bear.
"Long Chen, I'll make a move, draw his attention, and interrupt his advancement, you take the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to him." Seeing Sha Tiantong's aura still rising, and with no one around to protect him, Su Yu sent a voice transmission to Long Chen.
This Sha Tiantong was incredibly powerful, but his mind wasn't very sharp. Burning the power of the Heavenly Vein so openly, if ambushed, it could easily cause the vein to reverse. Striking now was a golden opportunity.
"No need. I'll let him know what hope is now, then I'll tell him..."
Long Chen shook his head, a smile appearing on his face:
"... What is despair!"
