Countless pairs of eyes stared at Long Chen. They could not believe the scene before them—a powerful figure above Tongming had actually been instantly killed by Long Chen in a single blow?
Previously, Ye Liangchen had silently injured a Tongming Upper powerhouse, shocking countless people. Long Chen was even more outrageous, actually shattering a Tongming Expert with a single punch.
For a moment, the entire venue fell silent, only the endless blood mist spreading and fading above the void. It was the last glow of the lives of a powerful figure above Tongming, so vivid and spectacular.
Master Tianyu shook his head and said calmly, "The Sea Demon clan really is a race that doesn't learn their lessons. Ye Liangchen didn't kill him, only injured him, which was actually a warning."
He still hadn't realized that Di Miao-level experts possessed the power to fight beyond their level, and in a surprise attack, could slay them.
He ambushed Long Chen, using his cultivation advantage to trick Long Chen's perception, hoping to capture him alive.
With hidden power, even if the turtle clan excels at defense, they can't withstand a single punch from Long Chen. Even if he had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough. After
Master Tianyu's explanation, everyone finally understood that this guy had actually tried to capture Long Chen alive without unleashing his full strength, and thus was killed in one strike.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen had just killed the Sea Demon clan powerhouse with a single punch. Another elder in tortoise shell radiated light, illuminating the sky. Wherever the light reached, the power of the Heavenly Dao in the world instantly became unfamiliar, as if it had changed hands and was being controlled.
Another elderly man carrying a turtle shell roared and struck at Long Chen with his palm. As he struck, the laws of the Heavenly Dao were crushed, and his palm was wrapped in multicolored runes.
Within those runes are various powers: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. No one in this world can wield so many forces at once, because they generate and counteract each other. If handled poorly, it will immediately backfire.
But the old man carrying a tortoise shell struck out with a palm, and the power actively attached itself to his palm. The void roared and exploded, and the massive palm shadow seemed to cover the entire world, leaving no way to dodge, covering the sky with one hand.
As the palm fell, the ground began to slowly sink; this palm seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth.
"Is this the power above Tongming? With a wave of his hand, myriad paths resounded, merging with the will of heaven and earth. How could this palm possibly block it? "Someone shouted in shock.
The death of that sea demon elder completely enraged another elder with a tortoise shell on his back. In his rage, he launched a full-power attack, completely disregarding whether he was alive or not.
Facing the old man's furious strike, Long Chen snorted coldly and struck forward with his palm, neither dodging nor evading.
Is he crazy? Everyone was shocked. Long Chen was way too arrogant. If he fought head-on under such circumstances, he would be instantly turned into a mist of blood.
"Boom!"
The two palms clashed, causing the world to tremble. The stars in the heavens trembled, but there was no violent explosion as expected, nor was there a boundless shockwave.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
Long Chen faced the old man carrying a tortoise shell palm to face each other. The space around them for several miles was shimmering with countless black ripples, making the void buzz.
Long Chen's long hair flew wildly, his face cold and indifferent, his eyes devoid of emotion, like a ruthless king looking down on the universe.
But the old man carrying the tortoise shell was filled with shock in his eyes. Countless runes lit up on the tortoise shell on his back, veins bulged on his arms, showing that he had pushed his power to the limit, yet he could never shake Long Chen.
Their power condensed and did not dissipate, black ripples flickering around them, radiating a terrifying pressure.
"Carry ... He held on. Someone
stammered, "This scene is too shocking. Long Chen can actually withstand a strike from a powerful figure above Tongming, and it doesn't seem to be a struggle."
"Using the power of the world to bridge the gap in realms—this is incredible." Master Tianyu looked at Long Chen and muttered to himself, his eyes full of admiration.
Here, perhaps only she could see that Long Chen's power came from the power of his world.
After entering the twelfth level of the Tongming Realm, Long Chen truly understood how to control the world's power and how to connect the relationship between the 108,000 stars and the six-star battle body.
Not only did his power surge, but his control over power had reached an unprecedented level. Moreover, upon arriving on the Tianwu Continent, Long Chen felt that his quasi-six-star state put much more strain on his body than in the Star Domain Divine Realm.
Although the flesh still ached when channeling power, unlike the Star Domain Divine Realm, the flesh did not explode. This was partly because his realm had improved, and partly because the laws of the Tianwu Continent seemed more suitable for using the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique.
In this situation, Long Chen didn't even need to constantly draw the vitality of the Tianlin Demon Tree to boost his life, yet he could still fight, instantly boosting his confidence.
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, Long Chen and the elder of the Sea Demon Clan faced each other with one hand, black symbols flying, and the void made a tearing sound—an utterly terrifying sight.
Although they didn't approach their battlefield, the black symbol radiated a world-destroying aura, intimidating everyone.
"Rumble rumble... Black
symbols enveloped the void. Long Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"I understand. Possessing all spirits, mastering laws, and the intersection of life and death can merge with the Heavenly Dao. If I'm not mistaken, the next realm should be the Fusion Heaven Realm."
When Long Chen uttered the words 'Heaven Fusion Realm,' many of the older generation powerhouses, including Qu Jianying and the old man, turned pale.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a gap tore open in the vast void, and a massive black sword mercilessly slashed down, heading straight for Long Chen.
"It's over,"
Qu Jianying closed his eyes in pain. That rascal Long Chen had never seen him this clever before, so how did he happen to guess the name of this realm correctly?
This is a forbidden name. In an era, anyone who utters its name first will be punished by heaven. Every generation of strong warriors dies from talking too much, and this time, Long Chen just spoke it out.
"Buzz!"
In that instant, the entire world was immobilized; no one could move. The vast power of the Heavenly Dao seemed to freeze time and space, and people could only watch helplessly as the black giant sword slashed down.
On that black giant sword radiated endless heavenly might, representing the will of the entire world. Before it, people seemed so insignificant, so insignificant, unable to even summon the slightest thought of resistance. This was a power that made people despair—this was Heaven's Retribution.
When the Heavenly Dao wants to kill someone, no one can escape it, so when Long Chen uttered those three words, their hearts instantly sank.
"Boom!"
The black giant sword, carrying the will of the Heavenly Dao, slashed down. Long Chen and the elder of the sea demon clan were both devoured at the same time. The black sword slashed down, carving a chasm tens of thousands of miles into the earth.
Above the ravine, all the soil turned pitch black, emitting a terrifying aura of destruction.
"Damn it, did I say something wrong?"
As people stared in shock at the ravine, Long Chen's curse echoed from the void. Looking up, they saw Long Chen standing there unharmed.
In his hand, he was holding a bloodied arm—the arm of the Sea Demon elder, who had now vanished without a trace.
"Heaven's punishment was avoided?" How is this possible? No one in history has ever escaped divine punishment! "People watched the lively Long Chen and were utterly shocked—this overturned the iron law.
Qu Jianying and the others were overjoyed to see Long Chen still alive. Even Li Tianxuan's heart was pounding wildly just now, because he knew Long Chen would very likely die at the hands of the Heavenly Dao. So that strike had truly frightened him.
"I didn't expect you to have some skills. I, Ye Liangchen, am just as capable as a nobody. Someone like you seems worth my help." Ye Liangchen was shocked, his eyes shining with light. He stepped forward, appeared above Long Chen, and kicked him right in the face.
Ye Liangchen's attack was a deeply insulting blow. It was unclear whether he didn't take Long Chen seriously at all or was deliberately provoking him, but the kick landed straight for Long Chen's face.
"A defeated general dares to speak of bravery? If you hadn't fled in panic back then, you would have died in that heavenly tribulation long ago. Are you born in the Year of the Pig? Only remember to eat, but not to beat? So many years have passed, and you still haven't learned your lesson? Long Chen sneered.
Faced with Ye Liangchen's kick, he didn't take it, because if he did, he would truly be humiliated.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen flicked his finger, and a blood-red lotus the size of a dragon's eye appeared, shooting straight at Ye Liangchen.
The blood-red lotus is small and exquisite, yet it contains terrifying power. This mysterious blood-red lotus is actually a miniature version of the World-Destroying Fire Lotus.
It used Long Chen's essence blood as a guide and Huo Ling'er's soul as the foundation, instantly forming a powerful spell. This was the skill Huo Ling'er comprehended after merging with the myriad fires of the foreign realm in the Star Domain Divine Realm.
Although this move was not as terrifying as the true World-Destroying Fire Lotus and was much less powerful, its destructive power was truly terrifying. Because it could be unleashed instantly, even a peerless expert could be instantly killed if caught off guard.
On the miniature World-Destroying Fire Lotus, sixty-three stars shimmered—these were the Seven-Star World-Destroying Fire Lotus. When the lotus appeared, the void twisted extensively, as if the whole world had been set ablaze.
It should be noted that at this moment, with the help of the mother tree, Huo Ling'er had fully absorbed the power of the Netherworld Karma Fire, refining it into the fire of this source, with terrifying and boundless power.
When Long Chen flicked out the World-Destroying Fire Lotus, Ye Liangchen was startled. He immediately sensed the danger of this strike.
But he had already kicked; if he dodged, it would mean losing his momentum. He snorted coldly, and suddenly the phenomenon behind him spread open.
"Stars shine upon the universe!"
As Ye Liangchen shouted, a star domain suddenly appeared behind him, vast and boundless, with billions of stars flowing, as if he had swallowed the sky behind him.
"Boom!"
Ye Liangchen kicked Long Chen onto the fire lotus he had sprung out. With a loud explosion, endless flames engulfed the sky.
