"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen swung his serrated long blade, sending shockwaves roaring like a bee flapping its wings, conjuring countless blade shadows to frantically block the two attacks.
Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue were like butterflies among flowers, unpredictable and ever-changing. Their two bone swords attacked in all directions, each strike sharp and cunning, their coordination exquisite to the brim. Previously, Long Chen could withstand at most ten slashes but would be stabbed once or twice.
Now, after Long Chen had been fiercely battling the two for half an hour, there was still no bloodshed. He grew stronger with each fight, attacking more than defending, and finally gradually adapted to their attacks.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen's serrated blade shattered with a thunderous crash. Leng Yueyan's sword pointed at Long Chen's chest but failed to stab. Long Chen hurriedly raised his hand in surrender.
Ming Cangyue said a bit embarrassedly, "It's my fault for not holding back my strength. At your current level, I really don't know what kind of power to use to fight you." It
had been a month since he nearly lost his life last time. During this month, Long Chen had fought relentlessly day and night, leaving even Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue exhausted.
Within this month, Long Chen had improved twice in a row. Perhaps because he had plunged into the Ink Sea last time, his immense survival potential had been unleashed, and his absorption of the Wuji Pill had increased more than tenfold.
Now that he had entered the mid-to-late stage of the Twelfth Heaven of the Four Extremes Realm, Long Chen wanted to use the power of the two to break through to the Great Perfection.
But Long Chen noticed that in these last few days, no matter how hard he tried, his cultivation had stopped.
However, the gains from these past few days were also enormous. With his strength growing, his power could rival the divine pressure of both men, so he wouldn't be completely suppressed and wouldn't be able to use his full strength.
The attacks from Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue were almost unstoppable; only by suppressing them with brute force could they possibly break through. With equal strength, defeat was inevitable.
Although their moves had flaws, they were all covered by another person. Even if they saw them, they couldn't catch them. But if they attacked just to catch them, they would fall into a trap. This was the experience Long Chen gained after being stabbed hundreds of times with blood.
As Long Chen advanced to the Twelfth Heaven, his power underwent a qualitative change. The two could not contend with him with power of equal rank; they had to use the power of the Underworld King realm.
But when they wield the power of the Underworld King Realm, they instinctively use the power of laws. The two had just taken over so many territories and controlled countless world laws, and they hadn't adapted yet, so they would accidentally use the laws.
Meanwhile, Long Chen's long blade had been pierced by the mysterious broken sword, leaving a hole in it. Leng Yueyan's bone sword struck its weakest point, and the serrated blade shattered just like that.
Long Chen smiled and said, "It's fine. With you two beautiful deities as sparring partners, I've improved so quickly. I'm truly grateful to you both." After
saying this, Long Chen even bowed pretending to be formal, making Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue both laugh. These days were truly their happiest and most joyful days.
Long Chen advanced rapidly, his strength terrifyingly strong, and he seemed unaffected by the laws of the underworld. Back then, at this realm, their strength was far inferior to Long Chen.
After several days of fierce battle, Long Chen's cultivation hadn't improved at all. Even taking the Wuji Pill had no effect. Long Chen realized that the remaining short stretch of road could no longer be taken this way.
According to Long Chen's estimate, the last short stretch might require returning to the Immortal Realm to continue improving, but whether that was the case, Long Chen couldn't be sure.
"Reporting to the Divine Lord, news has come from the main city. Deep within the wilderness, there is commotion as the void is torn apart, suspected to be a fierce battle among peerless experts." Just then, a powerful figure came to report.
The main city was the one Tuoming attacked. It was the wild land that Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue risked their lives to find. It was also the place where they rose to power, holding special significance, hence the name 'Main City.'
Around the main city lies an unknown wilderness, uncultivated. If it weren't for the six major powers targeting them, they would have already advanced deep into the wilderness.
Now, hearing the fierce battle from the depths of the wilderness, Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue's hearts skipped a beat. If there were terrifying beings deep within the wilderness, that would be terrible.
Once the enemy discovers the main city, they might expand outward and gradually devour them.
"Let's go check it out."
Long Chen, Ming Cangyue, and Leng Yueyan led more than thirty Earth-grade Underworld King experts and teleported directly to the main city, quietly heading deeper into the wilderness.
This time, the main reason for going was to assess the situation, so he didn't bring many people. If the enemy was strong, they had to be determined to cut down their own arms.
If the two sides fought fiercely, let's see if there's a chance and a chance to benefit. However, as they advanced, Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue's expressions softened slightly.
"It's not the aura of the Nether Clan, but the aura of the Nether Beast. It seems to be a battle between the Nether Beast tribes." Ming Cangyue said.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't understand, Ming Cangyue explained that the rulers of the Underworld were the Underworld God clan, and due to their bloodline, they had the ability to control laws.
Ming Cangyue governs the Tongming World, a world that does not belong to the Netherworld but is under its control. Maintaining the normal operation of the Tongming World allows the Nether God to gain the recognition of the Tongming World. The Tongming World's recognition is the core of the Divine Dao. With the Divine Dao core, one can control the laws of a world.
For the Nether God clan to cultivate, they must have the support of laws. Long Chen had only been in the Underworld for about two months, and with Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue training as companions, he had advanced continuously. This was the fastest speed he had ever achieved in his life.
During this period, according to the Immortal Realm's calculations, Ming Cangyue and Leng Yueyan had advanced from the early Pluto King stage directly to the sixth heaven. If it weren't for the huge effort they spent on Long Chen and consolidating the city, they would have already reached the late stage.
Moreover, in the Underworld, the Underworld God clan has no such thing as unstable realms. As long as they control enough laws, advancing directly to the Underworld Lord is no problem. Long Chen had fully witnessed the monstrous laws of the Underworld.
Ming Cangyue and Leng Yueyan had no parents and were born of the Underworld itself. They were born with the ability to control laws and were rulers of the Underworld.
However, between the Nether Gods, there is no such thing as emotion. To grow stronger, one must seize the power of the dead. Back then, Ming Cangyue realized she couldn't be ruthless, so she separated her kindness, resulting in the twin spirits she is now united with.
Aside from the Nether God Clan, the largest race in the Nether Realm is the Nether Beast Clan. Unlike the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm has many types of beasts, such as magical beasts, ferocious beasts, spirit beasts, auspicious beasts, divine beasts, and immortal beasts.
But in the Underworld, there is only one: the Nether Beast, because all their cultivation rules are the same: they devour Nether Qi to strengthen themselves.
Some divine clans even coexist peacefully with the divine beast clan, because the Netherworld Gods want laws; the aura of the Underworld is useless against them, and there is no contradiction.
So, after sensing the aura of the Nether Beast, the two felt much more at ease. As they moved forward, the void suddenly darkened, and a massive creature charged at them.
