Long Chen was right. The beast clan warriors fought desperately against the ancient corpses, and on the surface, it looked as if they were desperately protecting Long Chen.
The Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan narrowed his eyes and said coldly,
"What's wrong?" Are you trying to anger me? You're too naive. This heavenly tribulation is a tremendous fortune. It's clearly your own tribulation, yet you gain nothing. Are you anxious now? He
stood above the void, absorbing countless thunder runes. He could clearly feel the nearly monstrous body-refining ability of the thunder runes, and he had always believed his own guess.
As long as Long Chen doesn't absorb the Heavenly Dao runes and kills him when the tribulation is nearing its end, all the benefits will be theirs. All of Long Chen's efforts are just a way for others.
"Childish?" Long Chen sneered.
"Whoosh"
At that moment, a thunderous ancient corpse suddenly charged through the crowd, stabbing toward Long Chen's back with a long sword.
"Smack!"
Without even turning his head, Long Chen slapped him across the face. The ancient corpse expert who had just lunged at Long Chen was instantly sent flying by Long Chen's slap.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Corpse crashed to the ground, shattering on the ground and blasting a huge crater in the earth.
As soon as the giant pit appeared, the faces of the Saint Dan Hall Master and the two deputy hall masters in Ruixia Prefecture changed.
"It's just a coincidence, don't worry." The Lord of the Saint Pill Hall comforted him, but the unease in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Inside the giant pit, a palm-sized bone fragment was exposed, stained with soil. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice it at all.
The reason the Hall Master's expression changed was because the bone fragment was one of the formation patterns that locked onto the core of the star domain.
Originally, this bone fragment should have been buried deep underground, protected by a grand formation. Not to mention Long Chen, even a Realm King wouldn't be able to extract it.
Long Chen casually killed a Thunder Ancient Corpse and exposed a bone fragment. They couldn't figure out what had happened.
What terrified them most was that if this bone fragment were destroyed, it would trigger an explosion of core power from the star domain. At that point, not only would the Divine Lord Immortal Realm be destroyed, but even the entire Ruixia Prefecture would be wiped out in an instant, and everyone here would be buried with them.
They only hoped it was a coincidence, but they feared that if they accidentally shattered the bone fragment, it would be completely over. Unconsciously, sweat broke out on the Hall Master's forehead.
Inside the Divine Lord Immortal Realm, Long Chen slapped the ancient corpse away, as if nothing had happened. He didn't even look at the bone fragment, but instead looked at the Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan and said calmly, "
It seems you still haven't realized what kind of person you've provoked. I don't want to waste any more time."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he snapped his finger, and a beam of fire shot up into the sky, reaching into the clouds—a flaming lotus about the size of a thumb.
"Boom!"
The fiery lotus exploded within the tribulation clouds, then the sky filled with tribulation clouds trembled violently, and then a terrifying heavenly might pressed down like a starry sky.
Long Chen's flaming lotus had enraged the heavenly tribulation, as if it had slapped the head of a sleeping wild beast, awakening the beast.
The boundless tribulation clouds began to contract, their range shrinking. As the clouds shrank, the aura of those Thunder Ancient Corpses instantly rose from early Immortal King stage to late Immortal King stage.
After their auras surged, these ancient corpses grew even stronger, their moves fiercer, and seemed to possess intelligence. Previously, they attacked only by instinct, but now they excelled in both offense and defense, almost like living people.
"Puff puff puff... These
Thunder Ancient Corpses were extremely experienced, battle-hardened warriors. With their full force, the defensive circles the beast clan experts had barely maintained were instantly broken, and countless died under the weapons of these ancient corpses.
"Eighth Prince, His Highness Wuying and Lord Golden Horn, please save him... Ah..."
A powerful figure called for help, but before he could finish speaking, he was slain. Now, the number of demon beast clan experts was less than ten million, while those ancient thunder corpses were endless. Four great gates above the void and countless ancient corpses poured out.
Long Chen smiled. That was more accurate. The ancient corpse he encountered on the ghost ship back then had this kind of aura. They manifested within the heavenly tribulation, displaying terrifying destructive power.
The Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan's expression finally changed. There were too many ancient Thunder Corpses. If this continued, they would have no problem, but the elites of all the races would be wiped out.
They can't just think of themselves, but also of their family. Without these elites, the family's strength would be greatly diminished.
"Enough, let's not waste any more time. I'll kill you now."
The Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan shouted coldly, his golden spear reappearing in his hand, pointing at Long Chen from afar.
When Long Chen saw the golden spear, he could no longer remain calm. Endless killing intent surged—it was this golden spear that had killed the Nine-Star Heir.
"You go help the clansmen. I'll take his orders." The Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan said to Wuying and the others.
"No need to trouble yourself."
Just as Wu Ying and the others were about to leave, Long Chen's voice suddenly rang out. Hearing Long Chen's voice, they felt their scalps tingle. When they looked at Long Chen again, they saw veins bulging on his forehead, long hair flying in the air, and his eyes filled with murderous intent, as if a Death Demon King had descended to earth.
Long Chen's voice suddenly turned hoarse in that instant, echoing through heaven and earth, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell, sending chills down one's spine.
"Divine Ring Revealed!"
"Battle Body Opened!"
Long Chen roared, the void shattered, the sky trembled, the divine ring stretched open heaven and earth, endless star maps swirling within the ring, and a pillar of light centered on Long Chen soared into the nine heavens. Even the tribulation clouds above began to tremble uneasily.
"Crack, crack, crack... Countless
cracks appeared on the four great doors within the tribulation clouds.
"Boom!"
The four gates seemed to withstand some terrifying force, but ultimately could not withstand it and shattered with a thunderous crash. In that instant, the Thunder Ancient Corpse, which had been frantically slaughtering demon beasts, also shattered instantly, turning into a shower of runes.
The powerful figures present were overjoyed. He was ready to absorb those thunder runes, but before they could enjoy them, from the nine heavens, a black sword poured down like a violent storm.
"Puff puff puff... Black
thunder swords fell. These beast warriors, proud of their bodies, were as fragile as tofu before the black sword, shattering one after another.
"No..."
"Sir, save me... The
black thunder sword, carrying endless destructive power, reaped their lives with all its might. The beast clan warriors shouted desperately, but it was useless, because when the black sword descended, Even the Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan,Wu Ying and the others were also shocked, all frantically resisting the black sword, unable to pay any attention.
In almost an instant, out of tens of millions of strong cultivators, only a few hundred remained. The powerful figures of all races in Ruixia Prefecture roared in unison. These were the future talents of their races, their eyes bloodshot with rage, wishing they could charge into the Divine Lord Immortal Realm and slay Long Chen.
"Let's kill him together."
The Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan, both shocked and furious, stepped through the void and charged at Long Chen.
