"Buzz!"
Liao Bencang slashed down with his sword, the sword light covering all three at once. The moment his sword struck, Long Chen felt the space behind him freeze and push forward fiercely.
The divine ring behind Long Chen exploded with a thunderous roar. Under that powerful force, his seven-colored divine ring shattered, transforming into a six-colored divine ring.
Long Chen's expression changed instantly—not because his divine ring couldn't withstand the attack, but because the moment Liao Bencang made his move, heaven and earth were sealed off, and the power of heaven and earth was insufficient to support the seven-colored divine ring.
Not only Long Chen, but Guo Ran and Xia Chen's expressions also changed. This world was entirely Liao Bencang's domain; here, he was an omnipotent god.
"Boom!"
Liao Bencang didn't give them much time to think. With a single sword strike, heaven and earth trembled. The three of them joined forces, yet were still shaken into a daze. Xia Chen even spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xia Chen's talismans require the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to unleash their full power. In Liao Bencang's faith domain, the power of his talismans greatly diminished.
"Third Form of Heaven Opening"
Long Chen was shocked. The seven-colored divine ring was reduced to six-colored divine rings, and his power was rapidly weakening. With the boost of faith power, the Heavenly Dao power Long Chen could obtain was dwindling.
Even with the Skynet covering the world, even the power of the stars could not be activated. At this moment, he had no choice but to risk everything, fighting with all his might while his strength still remained.
Blade shadows shot skyward, carrying wind and thunder, each move being the strongest. If they didn't fight now, they wouldn't have the chance. In this space, they would only grow weaker.
Guo Ran also noticed the problem. Similarly, clad in battle armor and wielding a black blade, with glowing Supreme Bone, a full-power strike, just like Long Chen, also the third form of the Heaven-Splitting Strike.
Blood trickled from Xia Chen's mouth. Not daring to be careless, he formed hand seals, and eighteen talismans simultaneously glowed and converged, forming a blood-soaked phoenix carrying endless ferocity as it lunged toward Liao Bencang.
"Ignorant youngsters, let me show you what the gap really is! Nine Nether Destiny Slash! Seeing
Long Chen and the other two strike together, Liao Bencang snorted coldly. His sword trembled, and suddenly a huge lotus flower appeared behind him. The lotus glowed and merged into his sword, slashing down at the three of them.
"Boom!"
All the attacks collided, the void shattered inch by inch, divine light erupted, and Long Chen, Guo Ran, and Xia Chen were sent flying backward.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, bearing the brunt of the shockwave and the tremendous recoil. Guo Ran was second, also sent flying. Xia Chen was slightly better; he was a ranged attacker with time to react, but was knocked back.
"Pfft!"
As Long Chen spat blood, Liao Bencang also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The longsword formed from the power of faith in his hand shattered with a thunderous crash, and the Faith Lotus behind him vanished as well.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen sheathed the Minghong Blade, stepped on the void to steady himself, extended both hands, and with his left hand unleashing the power of flames, his right hand thundering with a roar, followed by the roar of thunder and flame echoing through the heavens and earth.
"Twin Dragons Break the Heavens" A
thunder dragon and a fire dragon intertwined, tearing through heaven and earth. The void was pierced, crashing straight toward Liao Bencang.
"Rumble rumble...
This strike contained the full strength of Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er. Now, their strength was finally evenly matched, responding and coordinating to maximize the power of this move.
Where the twin dragons passed, heaven and earth were in disarray, heaven and earth shattered, spatial rifts spread throughout the domain, and in the blink of an eye, they were right in front of Liao Bencang.
Liao Bencang clearly hadn't expected Long Chen to conjure such a terrifying ultimate move so quickly. Although he had just blocked one of the three attacks, he himself was injured and hadn't regained his strength.
But Long Chen's strike wasn't his own effort—it was Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er's full-force assault. He only needed to use his soul power to help them maintain balance.
With a thunderous crash, Liao Bencang was struck head-on by the Twin Dragons Breaking the Heavens. His body exploded with a thunderous crash, but the momentum of the Twin Dragons Breaking the Heavens did not wane, and they slammed hard into the Sky Net. The Sky Net trembled, and even the mysterious dagger couldn't break it, which was riddled with cracks.
The range of this strike was enormous, spanning over ten thousand li. If the power were concentrated within several zhang, it should be able to pierce through the heavenly net directly.
"Buzz!"
Liao Bencang's body shattered. Guo Ran and Xia Chen instinctively wanted to cheer, but unexpectedly, the light of faith danced across the sky—billions of lotus flowers. They instantly condensed together, and Liao Bencang's body reappeared, completely unharmed.
Guo Ran and Xia Chen were both stunned. Such a terrifying strike couldn't shake him in the slightest. Could Liao Bencang be immortal?
"Idiot, this is just an avatar. As long as the power of faith remains, I am immortal and indestructible. This is absolute power. Ignorant brats, do you know what despair is?" Liao Bencang looked at the shocked Xia Chen and Guo Ran, a cold and sharp expression appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Xia Chen and Guo Ran were truly frightened. They had never touched the power of faith before, and this power was simply invincible.
"Idiot, the main reason you can suppress us is still your cultivation level.
If we ascend to Immortal King and condense the Heavenly Dao King Crown, your faith power will be greatly weakened. The three of us can beat you like dogs, do you believe that? Long Chen sneered.
Although neither strike caused Liao Bencang any substantial damage, he still saw the true nature of faith power.
Faith power isn't invincible either. After two strikes, Liao Bencang's faith power dropped sharply, and the consumption was astonishing.
Additionally, Long Chen realized that the huge lotus was actually Liao Bencang's Realm King Divine Radiance.
The Divine Radiance of the Realm King is the crown of the Heavenly Dao, a ball of light that usually appears behind the heads of a Realm King, serving as a symbol of their status.
However, the Divine Radiance of a Realm King can only manifest among those above mid-stage Realm King, and not all Realm King experts can possess it. It is a sign of recognition from the Heavenly Dao.
Similarly, when a prodigy advances to the Immortal King realm, a ball of light will form. However, this ball is not called the Realm King Divine Radiance, but rather the Heavenly Dao King Crown. Only a Heavenly Grade Immortal King can condense the Heavenly Dao King Crown.
Long Chen had never seen Liao Bencang's Realm King Divine Radiance and was puzzled. Now, he finally understood that his Realm King Divine Radiance had already merged with his faith power.
Long Chen, Xia Chen, and Guo Ran were all at the Divine Lord realm. They already had some suppression before the Realm King Divine Radiance, but Liao Bencang's Realm King Divine Radiance was fused with the power of faith, making the suppression even more terrifying.
If the three advanced to Immortal King and condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown, they definitely wouldn't be so passive.
"If you say it like that, if I were to descend as the true self, I could wipe out all three of you with just one finger. There's no point in saying more—prepare to die."
Liao Bencang sneered, his body suddenly trembling as he lunged at Long Chen. But just as he lunged at Long Chen, Long Chen mysteriously vanished, reappearing at the edge of the Sky Net.
"Buzz"
Long Chen disappeared, but Guo Ran lunged forward. His Supreme Arm glowed as he smashed a fierce punch at Liao Bencang.
"Get lost!"
Long Chen dodged without fighting. For some reason, he had a bad feeling. He slashed his sword at Guo Ran, and with a loud explosion, Guo Ran was shaken so hard that blood sprayed wildly and he was sent flying.
But what shocked him was that Guo Ran's backward arc was extremely strange, actually making a sharp curve toward Long Chen.
"Liao Bencang, the green mountains remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on. Next time we meet, I'll take your head."
Long Chen closed his right eye, and his left eye instantly turned pitch black. An evil power erupted—the Purgatory Eye was activated.
