At the center of the two people, a sphere of light appeared, squeezing countless paths. Inside the sphere, lightning flashed and thunder roared, forming a domain of death.
The sphere of light spread rapidly, stretching thousands of miles in an instant. The immense power twisted the heavens and earth, causing all the stars to tremble.
"What level of power is this?"
The disciples inside the academy watched the ball of light, watched the heavens change color, heard the roaring thunder, and felt the endless power within the orb. In front of that orb, they felt as insignificant as ants.
Originally, they had advanced to the Divine Lord realm. Although they didn't dare to claim invincibility, they felt they were at least among the experts.
But now, as Long Chen and the Nine Nether Rakshasa were locked in fierce battle, they finally understood what power standing above the pinnacle truly meant.
"Rumble rumble... The
phenomenon behind the Nine Nether Rakshasa trembled, endless wild energy rising. Runes swirled around her, as if a true Rakshasa had come back to life, capable of swallowing the heavens.
Behind Long Chen, a divine ring flowed, the star river trembled, and hundreds of thousands of stars within him ignited. Endless power surged into his limbs and bones, finally converging into the long blade, suppressing the universe.
"Die!"
The two shouted simultaneously. Two beams of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds. With a thunderous crash, the light spheres shattered, and the fierce wind slashed through space like blades. Countless holes appeared in the world, and in an instant, the world was riddled with holes, as if it were about to collapse.
The fierce wind howled past, and countless invisible spatial blades slashed in all directions. The fiercely fighting warriors tried to dodge, but the sea demon clan's massive bodies made it impossible to dodge. Countless sea monsters were pierced through by the spatial blades, blood splattering everywhere.
"You fool! If you bring Long Chen under the Divine Lord's throne, it would be a remarkable achievement, yet you insist on destroying him."
Seeing Long Chen's strength, Enpuda looked coldly at Liao Bencang and said.
"You're the fool, your whole family are fools. It was you who carelessly lost the Evil Dragon Domain, and now I'm taking it back and killing Long Chen. It's all thanks to me."
If you don't shut up soon, you fat guy, I'll have fun with you. Don't think that just because you're a little clever, you can do whatever you want. Liao Benchang pointed at Empuda and cursed loudly.
Empuda kept a dark face and said nothing. Although he was also furious, he knew how to endure because he knew that if he really angered Liao Bencang, this idiot would really fight him here.
He had originally planned to use someone else's life to threaten Long Chen and break the law. He had already roughly figured out Long Chen's personality and knew his weaknesses.
But this Liao Bencang was too foolish and shortsighted. He feared that after Long Chen surrendered, all the credit would go to Empuda, so he wanted to kill Long Chen. That way, Empuda would cause trouble, and he would take the blame. The credit would be his, but the blame would be Empuda's.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen and the Nine Nether Rakshasa deployed their forms, sometimes disappearing, sometimes reappearing. Each time they appeared, they launched a full-scale attack, shaking the heavens.
What no one expected was that the Nine Nether Rakshasa was different from ordinary assassins. Her attacks were sharp but lacked many techniques, mostly fair and aboveboard.
However, her speed was so fast, it was as if there was a teleportation array beneath her feet, flickering back and forth in the void, creating illusions that filled the sky.
Lightning flashed beneath Long Chen's feet, activating the Thunder Falcon clan's movement technique. Likewise, his speed was at an extreme speed. The two were locked in fierce combat, as if dozens of people were fighting simultaneously.
The phantoms in the sky were endless, and people couldn't tell the order. Even the roaring and explosive sounds were chaotic.
"Boom boom boom... As
the two fought wildly, their speed grew faster and faster. Most shockingly, their auras grew stronger and stronger, as if they were endless.
Their auras were like fire in a furnace, burning stronger and stronger. Golden light gradually appeared on Long Chen's body, a manifestation of his vital energy being pushed to its limit.
Divine light surged around the Nine Nether Rakshasa, almost merging with the phenomenon behind her. The Rakshasa behind her was originally a phantom, but as time passed, her eyes suddenly opened. The violent divine might surged, as if an ancient demon god was overlooking the earth.
"Rakshasa's eyes have opened; Long Chen's death has come." Seeing this, Liao Bencang narrowed his eyes, a confident cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Only he knew just how powerful the Nine Nether Rakshasa was at this moment.
With a violent explosion, Long Chen and the Nine Nether Rakshasa clashed head-on, then both retreated simultaneously.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the Nine Nether Rakshasa stuck out her tongue and curled it around the dagger. Her tongue was dripping with blood, instantly staining the dagger red. The moment the dagger was stained red, her true self lost all vitality, and the Rakshasa behind her seemed to come alive.
"Long Chen, you have insulted the Rakshasa clan. You deserve to die. Although I haven't completed the Rakshasa possession and can only exert a tenth of this strike's power, killing you is enough. Go to another world and repent." The voice of the Nine Nether Rakshasa reverberated between heaven and earth, echoing in all directions, as if hundreds of rakshasas were speaking at once.
When the Rakshasa phantom raised the dagger in its hand, the stars in the heavens began to twist, and in the dazzling brilliance, it seemed as if an invisible force of time was condensing within the dagger.
Upon seeing this earth-shattering phenomenon, all the participating experts instinctively stopped what they were doing, and even the evil demons and sea monsters slowly retreated.
Bai Zhantang, who was fiercely battling Galo, changed face drastically and was about to abandon Galo to help Long Chen. He knew how terrifying this strike was.
"Go save him. I have enough time to kill your two women and your two children." A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Galo's mouth.
Hearing Galo's words, Bai Zhantang was furious and charged at Galo again. Galo sneered, dodging all the way but not taking his moves head-on.
Seeing Long Chen in danger, Bai Shishi was about to rush over and fight alongside him, but Long Chen stopped her.
Long Chen pointed his long blade toward the sky, his fierce will surging. Facing the thunderous force of the Nine Nether Rakshasa, battle intent shone in his eyes.
"I told you, the Rakshasa clan has no right to act arrogant in front of me."
"Boom boom boom..."
As Long Chen spoke, rumbling and exploding within his body sounded as if a torrent had broken through dam after dam. Amidst eighteen roaring sounds, the long blade in Long Chen's hand began to roar and tremble, its shadow soaring into the sky, tearing through the myriad paths of the heavens and radiating a destructive aura.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
As the blade shadow pierced the nine heavens, endless lightning intertwined, the heavenly Dao remained, and all worlds trembled. This strike pierced heaven and earth, causing ghosts and gods to retreat.
When Long Chen's strike absorbed every last drop of the deadly aura from heaven and earth, all the rumbling phenomena vanished, and the world fell into a deathly silence.
Including Empuda and Liao Bencang, everyone was shocked; they had never seen such a terrifying strike.
"No matter how strong you are, today you will die with the Rakshasa Soul-Destroying Assassin." With a furious shout, the Nine Nether Rakshasa struck down with a single blow, causing the heavens to collapse.
"Let's see who dies—the second form of the Heaven-Opening Technique."
Long Chen shouted sharply, gripping blades in both hands. Man and blade became one, and the boundless power within him seemed like a volcano that had been suppressed for billions of years finally found an outlet.
"Boom!"
Their ultimate moves collided under the shocked gazes of countless onlookers.
