"Boom... Heaven
and earth exploded, endless purple energy swirling between them. Within the endless purple energy, the star river turned, and the star map within the purple mist changed through the passage of time, as if the universe was in motion.
At this moment, heaven and earth trembled, myriad paths rose and fell, and the entire Heavenly Fire World trembled in fear because of the appearance of this star map.
Purple energy swirled around Long Chen, divine light flickering in his eyes. At this moment, he seemed like a child of the universe, mastering the laws of heaven and earth. With a single thought, he could destroy heaven and earth. His aura made all gods and demons tremble.
At this moment, Long Chen's aura was completely different from before, as if he were a different person. Alone, he seemed like a vast universe, making it impossible to look directly.
"Three moves,"
Long Chen said coldly. No one understood what he meant. Suddenly, Long Chen made his move, raising the Minghong Blade high in his hand.
"Buzz!"
The Minghong Blade roared and exploded, endless purple entwined. Countless stars appeared on the blade, and the sharp blade energy pierced straight into the clouds, piercing through the heavenly wall.
At the moment the heavenly wall pierced through, people saw no sun, moon, or stars, only endless darkness, as if the world of heavenly fire was already shrouded in darkness.
When Long Chen raised his blade and the heavenly wall shattered, everyone's souls trembled. The terrifying threat of death made them flee in all directions like startled rabbits.
Those Heavenly Fire Behemoths were also fleeing with them, and it seemed they sensed something was wrong.
"First Technique of Opening Heaven!"
With Long Chen's cold shout, the Minghong Blade slashed down like lightning. A stretch of star rivers poured down amid the purple energy, unstoppable.
Yan Hong's face changed drastically. At that moment, his soul trembled; for the first time in his life, he felt immense danger.
"Boom!"
The wings behind him spread wide, divine light burst forth, and billions of black threads flew out, instantly enveloping the sky for hundreds of thousands of miles around.
As soon as that thread appeared, the space within hundreds of thousands of miles around twisted, and the flame runes active between heaven and earth were completely absorbed by the black thread.
"Oh my god, can the Flame of Void really devour and control all the fires of heaven and earth?" Someone who saw this scene couldn't help but exclaim.
Here, Yan Hong was practically a godlike existence. As long as the Heavenly Fire World was not destroyed, his power would be endless. This was terrifying.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Long Chen slashed down with his blade, and a deafening explosion rang out. People's eardrums exploded, countless screamed in agony. Although they had escaped far enough, they were still caught in the chaos, blood gushing from their ears, and they could hear nothing.
What terrified them most was that not only were their ears deaf, but their eyes also lost their sight. Everything before them went completely black, and even their spiritual sense disappeared.
Countless people screamed in terror, thinking they were already dead, but soon, light appeared before their eyes—just very faintly. Soon, someone realized they had been buried.
"Huff huff...
People crawled out of the dirt and found themselves halfway up a deep pit. The pit spanned millions of miles, and at its center, Long Chen stood quietly in the void, holding the Minghong Blade.
In front of him, Yan Hong's face showed a look of shock. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His blood was like ink, and as soon as it was sprayed, it automatically burned and vanished between heaven and earth.
"Yan Hong is injured!"
Someone exclaimed. Yan Hong was the son of Yan Xu, the embodiment of flame, reputed to be immortal and indestructible. Logically, physical attacks were ineffective against him; only flames could hit him.
But he could also devour ten thousand fires, so flame attacks should be ineffective. This was a despairing power. But now, Yan Hong was coughing up blood from Long Chen's blade, shocking everyone.
Long Chen's strike destroyed heaven and earth. The flames erupting on the ground erupted wildly, instantly filling millions of miles of crater, surging out in all directions like a tsunami.
People were both surprised and delighted, bathing in the sea of flames, frantically absorbing the power of the flames.
Originally, the world's power here was just a trickling stream. Long Chen's strike seemed to pierce through the earth, and the primordial power of the Heavenly Fire World was wildly overflowing. For cultivators, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even knowing the danger, they still desperately absorbed it.
Those fleeing Spirits of Heavenly Fire, upon seeing the sea of lava erupt, also rushed back, desperately absorbing the power of flames. Whether outsiders or native Spirits of Heavenly Fire, they all took advantage of it.
The three Divine Venerable-level Heavenly Fire Spirits were also blasted away. Their fury soared, but seeing endless flames erupt, their fury vanished in an instant. They plunged into the sea of lava, desperately absorbing the flame power, ignoring Long Chen and Yan Hong.
"I never expected such power in this world to be able to harm my very origin. Interesting!" Qi Hong looked at Long Chen, his eyes blazing with intensity and fighting spirit rising.
Although he was injured, he was still full of confidence. The endless power of flames in heaven and earth surrounded him like a god of flames, invincible and invincible.
People were shocked. Long Chen's terrifying strike was certainly astonishing, and Yan Hong caught it just as much. Both were super monsters.
Just from that strike, none of the experts present dared to take it, not even the aftershock, and could only flee.
Although Yan Hong spat out a mouthful of blood and was injured, he still took such a terrifying blow, which was terrifying enough. Moreover, as the body of flame, this was his main battlefield, and he recovered faster than others. The outcome of this battle was uncertain.
One was like a god of war descending to the heavens, the other like a god of fire descending—both were overwhelming, their will soaring to the heavens, their needles meeting the tips of wheat awns.
"I have said, in this world, there is no absolute immortality. All things generate and overcome each other. Just because you haven't encountered it doesn't mean it doesn't.
That last strike drained half of my power. Your abilities are indeed strange.
But in the end, it's useless. Get ready—here's the second trick. "
Buzz."
At that moment, Long Chen's Minghong Blade was raised again. Just now, when Long Chen slashed down, endless purple energy scattered across the world. Now, at the moment the Minghong Blade was raised, every drop of purple energy was absorbed by the blade.
At that moment, the sharp blade intent shot straight into the blue clouds, piercing through the heavenly wall. The massive blade shadow was half swallowed by endless darkness.
"Crack, crack, crack... "
At that moment, the earth began to crack, the void started to wail, and all paths started to collapse. People were shocked to find that the flame runes between heaven and earth had started to condense, and they were unable to absorb them.
"This ..."
Everyone was shocked. What kind of power was this? Long Chen's blade hadn't even struck down when the laws of the entire world began to change.
At the same time, they finally understood what Long Chen meant by the three moves he had just mentioned. He was aiming to take out Yan Hong within three moves.
"Second Form of Heaven-Opening Technique"
This time, Long Chen gripped his blade with both hands, and the aura of this strike was several times greater than the previous strike. It felt as if the Heavenly Fire World was about to collapse, and people fled in terror once again.
