It was a terrifying divine weapon, with a flagpole three zhang high, resembling a spear, its entire body wrapped in black and white.
The flagpole shook, and the sky roared. The flag unfolded, and on the triangular flag, five blank runes appeared.
As soon as those five blank runes appeared, the runes on Long Aotian's hands, feet, and brow detached from his body and were embedded in the blank spaces of the great banner.
"Buzz"—
When the Five Elements runes were embedded in the banner, it seemed to come alive. Five-colored divine light surged, and the power of the five elements tore through the sky.
"This is the exclusive divine weapon Sun and Moon Five Elements Banner, personally crafted for me by the Long family ancestor. Today, your life will end before it."
Long Aotian roared angrily, his long hair flying, the flagpole raised, and the power of the heavens surged straight at Long Chen.
At that moment, it seemed as if the power of the entire world was drained by the Sun, Moon, and Five Elements Banner, as if heaven and earth were about to be crushed.
"Clang!"
The Minghong Blade was drawn. Stars swirled along the blade, and nine hundred ninety-nine stars rapidly lit up. In an instant, Long Chen poured all the power to draw the stars into his body onto the blade.
"Fourth Form of Heaven-Opening Technique."
The two divine weapons clashed fiercely, and the lifetime strength of these two peerless powerhouses was poured into this strike. Either you die, or I perish—if you fail, you become a martyr.
"Boom!"
The divine sound rumbled, piercing through clouds and breaking stone. Endless divine light transformed into sharp swords, piercing through the void and shooting in all directions.
"Not good!"
Yin Changsheng and the others were shocked and hurriedly formed shields, but their reactions were still a step too slow. The violent pressure struck first, the sharp sword first.
"Puff puff puff puff...
Countless demons and experts from the Sacred Pill Hall exploded into a mist of blood under the pressure of that pressure. Faced with this world-destroying power, they were as insignificant as ants, unable even to struggle.
"Boom boom boom boom... The
sharp sword pierced the sky, the Heavenly Dao collapsed, the entire world was covered in terrifying cracks, flames crisscrossed, lightning danced, creating an apocalyptic scene.
Immediately after, a deafening explosion erupted, shattering the world before their eyes. Endless time-space runes danced, and everyone was swept into the turbulent currents of time and space, with the scene before them constantly distorting.
When the scene calmed down, the Sky Burial Land had already disappeared. Looking around, the surroundings had turned into a desert. This small world had actually been blown apart by Long Chen and Long Aotian.
The Land of Heavenly Burial had disappeared, but the skyline remained, the ancient bronze cauldron was there, and the coffin connecting the bronze cauldron floated in the sky.
"Damn, this is dangerous."
Xia Chen and the others slowly poked their heads out from the coffin. Seeing the vanished world, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine.
Fortunately, they were hiding inside the coffin, and the forces outside did not affect them, allowing them to survive the blow without incident.
Yin Changsheng and Shi Yang's expressions were less pleased. They had brought so many powerful warriors, but now only a few hundred had survived.
They had been careless and hadn't activated their defenses in advance. The terrifying pressure crashed down like a tidal wave, and by the time they realized it, it was already too late—they only had time to protect those around them.
Tens of thousands of powerful warriors, all supreme-level prodigies, were wiped out in an instant. Corpse Disaster and Yin Changsheng were both shocked and furious. They couldn't even protect their own subordinates—this was a blatant slap in the face.
What infuriated them the most was that Long Aotian and Long Chen didn't even spare them a glance; neither of them had any idea what was happening outside.
"Rumble... Long
Chen and Long Aotian clashed their weapons, endless shockwaves enveloping them, and both were still desperately suppressing each other.
At this moment, the two had long hair flying, blood energy swirling around, their bodies covered in a bloody mess. Most terrifyingly, countless cracks appeared on their bodies, blood seeping along them, shattered by the fierce wind, turning into a mist of blood.
The two of them looked like porcelain bottles struck hard, ready to shatter at any moment, but at this moment, they both gritted their teeth, refusing to retreat and desperately suppressing the other. Their ferocity was shocking to behold.
Even Yin Changsheng and the others were local overlords and had seen countless worlds, but this was the first time they had seen such a ruthless figure.
Long Chen and Long Aotian were both gravely injured and hanging by a thread, but neither had the intention of retreating. Now it was a matter of who could suppress the other. If they retreated, it meant defeat. They would rather die than admit defeat.
At that moment, Mo Nian had no mood to loot treasures. Now, Long Chen and Long Aotian could decide life and death at any moment.
What Mo Nian feared was not Long Chen losing, but that if both were wounded, they might be ambushed by Ji Wuming, the terrifying assassin, which would be far too dangerous.
Suddenly, both roared in anger, their blood essence igniting simultaneously. This was the way of self-destructive combat, and also the most brutal contest.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Behind Long Chen,
endless stars roared and exploded. The power of the stars was pushed to its limit, and the stars began to flicker and dim. Clearly, Long Chen's star power had reached the end of its rope. It could be said that this battle was the toughest since Long Chen's debut.
Long Aotian was no better off. The multicolored divine light around him gradually faded, and the seven-colored world behind him became illusory. It seemed he was at the end of his life.
"Boom!"
Long Aotian suddenly shuddered, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and was sent flying backward.
"Coward, that's why, even if you have my spirit blood, spiritual roots, and spirit bones, you're still no match for me.
I, Long Chen, have grown step by step from the mortal realm. Everything I have is the result of my hard work.
And you, who don't even dare to risk their lives, only prove that your heart is weak—you fear failure, you fear death.
Fear of failure and death comes from lacking confidence in yourself. Someone who doesn't even believe in themselves can never become strong in their lifetime. Long Chen shouted coldly.
The two fought desperately to wear it down, let's see who couldn't hold on. Whoever couldn't hold on would die. In the end, Long Aotian was the one who got timid—he chose to retreat.
The price of retreating was Long Chen's overwhelming force, which ruthlessly penetrated his body. Long Aotian spat out three mouthfuls of purple blood, and his entire aura instantly weakened.
"Idiot, a true man would rather be wise than brute. My Supreme Blood hasn't fully awakened yet. A useful body can't do useless things. Do you think I'm as dumb as you?
To kill you, I don't need to take any risks. Why foolishly use my own weaknesses to fight your strengths? Long Aotian's face darkened as he gritted his teeth.
Long Aotian had previously said he wanted to defeat Long Chen at his strongest point, but unfortunately, he failed. Now, his excuses were like slapping himself in the face.
"My Seven-Colored Supreme Blood hasn't fully awakened, and my Purple Blood has only grasped a bit of its surface.
Most importantly, chaotic purple blood is not meant to enhance power at all. Forget it,I'm too lazy to waste words with you.
You're already exhausted, and my Seven-Colored Supreme Blood is almost depleted, but I still have more than half my purple blood.
Next, you can go in peace. If you die by your mother's family's ultimate moves, you should be able to rest in peace. Long Aotian was clearly weak at his words, but the moment he raised his left hand, endless purple blood surged forth, mysterious symbols surged, and in his hand they converged into a purple spear.
As soon as the purple spear appeared, its terrifying pressure made heaven and earth roar, and the earth began to slowly sink. This purple-blood spear was enough to make gods and demons retreat.
Long Aotian, already so weakened, could still conjure such a terrifying ultimate move, causing everyone to feel a chill in their hearts.
"Die!"
Long Aotian trembled his hand, and the blood-red spear pierced through heaven and earth, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, thrusting toward Long Chen.
