"Divine Path Barrier"—
seeing Luo Changwu and the others with purple blood soaring to the sky and their aura overwhelming, Chu Yingxiong was both shocked and furious. In an instant, Luo Changwu and the others' auras had stepped into the realm of a half-step Immortal King.
With a shout, the earth split open, and two statues of gods emerged from the ground. These two statues were none other than Great Brahma Heaven and Falling Sky Night.
It turned out the Chu family's statue was underground. Two statues appeared, radiating divine light and forming a barrier that protected Chu Yingxiong.
"Boom boom boom... Luo
Changwu and the others brought down their swords, slashing at the barrier. The barrier emitted a thunderous explosion, but it couldn't be broken for the moment.
However, under the frenzied attacks from Luo Changwu and the others, the two statues trembled and even developed cracks.
"The statue won't last long before it breaks." Luo Changwu shouted.
Luo Changwu and the others launched a frenzied attack on the barrier. The immense force made the ground shake violently, and countless buildings in the Luo family collapsed.
"Don't worry about me, block that little girl."
Countless Chu family experts charged toward Chu Yingxiong. They also sensed trouble and wanted to help, but were stopped by Chu Yingxiong because Lei Ling'er had already rushed onto the altar.
"Boom!"
Lei Ling'er slashed her sword onto the altar, producing a thunderous explosion. The totem pole cracked open, and with just one more strike, it could be shattered.
Just as Lei Ling'er was about to deliver another strike, a Chu family Divine Lord realm expert had golden runes lighting up on his forehead, his blood and energy burning as he forced Lei Ling'er back with a single strike.
The Chu family's Divine Lord realm experts began to burn with blood and energy, and their aura surged dramatically.
"Burning lifespan—that's ruthless!"
Long Chen was startled. Two statues appeared, and with divine power, these Chu family experts actually used divine power as a guide, burning their lifespans to exchange for the greatest strength.
Burning lifespan means burning one's own life. This is an irreversible self-harming technique, extremely cruel, but the combat power it gains is also terrifying.
"Boom boom boom... Lei
Ling'er wielded her long sword. Despite the siege of hundreds of Divine Lord-level experts, she still slew several people in succession. But there were too many of them, and their surging divine power suppressed the space. Lei Ling'er tried several times to bypass them and cut down the totem pole, but failed. Instead, the powerful ones forced her farther and farther away from the altar.
At this moment, the Chu family experts were completely desperate. When they could no longer defend against Lei Ling'er, they self-destructed, using the force of the self-detonation to force Lei Ling'er back, and even killed those around them during the explosion.
The Chu family's strong warriors had no choice but to fight desperately. If they failed this time, the Chu family would be completely finished, and they would all die.
The Chu family's strong members were rapidly decreasing, and Lei Ling'er had become their messenger for death, but they still pressed on frantically.
In the distance, the sounds of battle shook the heavens. Wherever Qin Feng's blade passed, countless powerful figures fell. Xu Zixiong followed behind Qin Feng, while Bai Xiaole's pupils swirled with triple flowers. Under the overlapping and distorting space, countless people were eerily crushed by spatial power—blood sky.
Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Luo Xue, and Luo Qing followed behind the three, while behind them stood the Luo family's archers—over two hundred men—resisting wave after wave of attacks from hundreds of thousands of powerful warriors.
Qin Feng's task was to hold back. These strong fighters could allow Long Chen and the others to fight in peace. If they made a mistake on their side, Long Chen's side would be in danger.
Among the powerful figures they were resisting, many were from the major powers of Yingzhou, and countless Divine Lord-level experts.
Fortunately, the Luo family's archers were formidable. The wooden arrows made from the Jianmu Divine Tree were terrifyingly destructive. With so few people, they had managed to protect the enemy against an army until now.
For a time, the Chu family was turned into a sea of blood. Long Chen and Chu Yingxiong fought over the pill furnace, which was gradually being pulled out. Long Chen struggled more and more. The furnace's spirit refused to resist and couldn't stir the emotions of the chaotic space.
Long Chen couldn't directly order the Chaos Space to act; he himself was extremely anxious. This treasure was something he was determined to obtain.
Luo Changwu and the others attacked the barrier, and countless cracks appeared on the statues of Great Brahma and Luo Tianye, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment, yet they did not break.
On Lei Ling'er's side, the Chu family's strong warriors kept decreasing—either being killed by Lei Ling'er or using self-destruction to stop her.
At the same time, the totem pole on the altar grew brighter and brighter, exuding a terrifying aura. Evil power emanated from within, making souls tremble, as if a terrifying beast was about to arrive.
Now, at the critical moment, on several battlefields, as long as one side breaks through, they can kill the other.
The chain of flames in Long Chen's hand trembled as he wildly pulled at the pill furnace. If the furnace fell into Chu Yingxiong's hands again, Long Chen would never have such a good chance again.
If Chu Yingxiong reclaimed the pill furnace, he would unleash his full power. The battlefield would instantly lose balance. Now, it was up to Long Chen, Lei Ling'er, and Luo Changwu to break through first.
"At this point, Luo Zichuan still hasn't shown up. I get it—something must have happened to him, right?" Chu Yingxiong suddenly spoke.
An elder of the Luo clan's expression changed slightly. Long Chen immediately sensed trouble. Their expressions were as if telling them how poor these old fellows were. Indeed, Luo Zichuan was their pillar of support. Without him, they would lose their backbone.
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then you all go die!" Chu Yingxiong seemed to understand suddenly and burst out laughing.
"Boom!"
Countless streams of blood gathered on the earth, rushing straight toward the altar, instantly stained red with endless blood.
"Originally, I planned to use the Chu family's spiritual blood to condense a divine spell, but now it seems I won't need it. Since that's the case, I'll use this blood as a sacrifice!" Chu Yingxiong shouted loudly.
Long Chen's heart tightened. This Chu Yingxiong was truly ruthless, even using this move. He deliberately wanted the Chu family members to die here.
Although he didn't know what the divine curse was, from his tone it was clear he had a trump card to deal with Luo Zichuan.
In other words, Long Chen and the others came to kill deliberately and destroy the altar. He saw it all—it was all intentional, all to use the Chu family's blood to deal with Luo Zichuan. Long Chen had previously guessed that he needed to worship the statue and absorb its power before coming out, but that was wrong.
"So... does that mean Longchen's
heart raced wildly as he looked at the altar. He finally realized that the five altars looked exactly the same, but the halo atop the last altar seemed somewhat different.
"Bastard, this guy is cunning enough." Long Chen was startled. This last altar was very likely deliberately kept by Chu Yingxiong.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the totem pillar, which had absorbed endless blood, suddenly exploded on its own, and a blood-red portal appeared on the altar.
As soon as the blood-red portal opened, a massive figure emerged—a creature with two horns on its head, a bone blade on its back, and its entire body engulfed in flames.
"Immortal King level"
When they saw that terrifying being, Luo Changwu and the others felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, chilling them from head to toe.
