"Boom boom boom... Thirty-six
talismans shattered, endless lightning runes flickered, and those close to Long Chen didn't even react before being instantly shattered by the endless thunder runes.
If Long Chen saw this scene, he would surely be shocked—these thunder talismans actually contained terrifying heavenly punishment power.
Moreover, it was compressing the power of heavenly punishment to its extreme and then suddenly exploding, producing an astonishing destructive force. This terrifying compression force could only be controlled by Lei Ling'er now.
"Xia Chen!"
Guo Ran was overjoyed. The person who made the move was none other than Xia Chen.
At this moment, a divine radiance appeared behind Xia Chen's head—it was the Heavenly Dao King Mian, and he had actually succeeded in condensing it.
The Heavenly Dao King Mian appeared behind Xia Chen's head, as if he had merged with heaven and earth. His entire aura had changed—he seemed to be the master of the rules, capable of destroying heaven and earth with a wave of his hand.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the void behind Xia Chen trembled, and an assassin appeared out of thin air. Guo Ran was shocked—this person was actually a master from the Blood Slaughter Hall, and just like Ji Wuming, had also escaped his senses. This person's status in the Blood Slaughter Hall was definitely not low.
Just as Guo Ran was about to remind Xia Chen, Xia Chen didn't look back and slapped his large hand back, revealing a web-like pattern in his palm.
The moment the pattern on his palm lit up, a spider web pattern also appeared in the void. The web, a hundred zhang in diameter, stood vertically above the void.
The assassin from the Blood Kill Hall immediately sensed trouble. Stepping on the void, he actually improved to retreat, switching as fast as lightning. To be able to halt his body in an instant was already considered a master. To be able to advance and retreat so freely in this state was definitely a master among experts.
"Buzz."
Unfortunately, retreating was useless. The web stuck to him the moment he retreated, and his body pulled the web like a struggling prey.
"Split."
The spider web pattern on Xia Chen's palm suddenly spread out, and the web that had trapped the person also dispersed. However, the silk remained firmly attached to his arms, thighs, and head.
"Puff puff puff...
The Blood Slaughter Hall expert was instantly dismembered. After the corpse was split into several pieces, it exploded with a thunderous crash, turning into a mist of blood, his mind utterly destroyed.
"Grass grip."
Guo Ran was completely stunned. He and Xia Chen were the best partners and knew Xia Chen very well. Xia Chen was actually able to condense talismans barehanded.
This is a move free from the constraints of inscription brushes and talismans, using one's own essence, energy, and spirit to condense runes, drawing on the power of heaven and earth to launch an attack. Xia Chen said this move is every inscription master's dream, and he never expected this guy to pull it off today.
"Blending heaven and earth, condensing talismans with bare hands—I actually managed to do it. No wonder they say that only by condensing the Heavenly Dao King Crown can one be considered a true king among immortals." Xia Chen looked at his own palm, his face full of excitement.
With Xia Chen's arrival, those who had been frantically attacking Long Chen were all terrified. It was the first time they had seen such a terrifying rune master, who could destroy heaven and earth with a wave of his hand, killing without a trace. After Xia Chen struck twice, they were terrified.
"Hahaha, Xia Chen, congratulations! I'm the number one member of the Dragonblood Legion, and you're second." Guo Ran laughed heartily and congratulated Xia Chen.
Although Guo Ran was just offering congratulations, he still had a bit of a show of it. He was the first in the Dragon Blood Legion to condense the Heavenly Dao King Crown. Xia Chen was three days behind him, and this brag could last a lifetime.
Xia Chen naturally knew Guo Ran was showing off to him. He just smiled faintly, completely immersed in the laws of heaven and earth, completely absorbed in the wonderful feeling of mastering them.
"Rumble..."
At that moment, countless powerful figures charged at Long Chen again. Although Xia Chen had arrived, some of them had tasted success before and still wanted to grab a little more.
Previously, they had attacked Guo Ran's defenses in batches, but now, tens of thousands of strong fighters attacked simultaneously, hoping to crush the two of them with collective strength. They knew they had to unite to gain the benefits.
"Hmph, playing a human wave strategy with rune masters is utterly foolish. I'm just going to see how many lives you have to fill it."
Xia Chen sneered coldly, forming hand seals with both hands, and forty-eight talismans flew out. The moment those talismans flew out, the heavens and earth roared and exploded, like forty-eight bolts of lightning exploding simultaneously, shaking everyone's eardrums and making blood spill out.
"Damn!"
When Guo Ran saw those talismans, he was startled and recognized them as the Heaven-Shaking Talisman that Xia Chen treasured.
"Take it easy, don't ...!"
Guo Ran shouted in fright.
"Boom!"
When the forty-eight talismans flew out, they caused the world to roar, causing a tremendous commotion. At the moment the forty-eight talismans formed an encircling circle around the dragon scales, they were detonated by Xia Chen.
Forty-eight Heaven-Shaking Talismans exploded simultaneously, a tremendous sound echoing throughout the entire Three Thousand Worlds. Forty-eight ripples appeared, swallowing space within millions of miles. In that instant, spatial turbulence surged, and all the powerful beings charging at Long Chen were reduced to dust. Even the dragon scales where Long Chen was located were swallowed by the spatial turbulence.
Guo Ran had originally shouted: Take it easy, don't drag the boss in, but the moment the Zhentian Talisman shattered, all the words Guo Ran shouted afterward were swallowed up—even he couldn't hear a word.
Seeing Long Chen and Long Lin disappear together, Guo Ran was terrified out of his wits, thinking Xia Chen had killed Long Chen too.
However, as the void slowly calmed, the golden dragon scales remained as solid as a rock, completely unaffected by the Heaven-Shaking Talisman. Only then did Guo Ran breathe a sigh of relief, though he was already drenched in cold sweat.
"If anyone still wants to die, come over at them."
Xia Chen clasped his hands behind his back, crowned with the Heavenly Dao King crown on his head. Looking at the distant beings, he shouted coldly, his voice carrying an endless murderous aura that stirred the soul.
This strike terrified not only the living beings, even Guo Ran was terrified. Those who had been planning to target the Golden Dragon Scales turned and left, planning to go elsewhere to gain benefits.
"Brother, your strike was so fierce, it nearly scared me out of my wits." Seeing Xia Chen intimidate everyone, Guo Ran couldn't help but exclaim.
"I borrowed it from the boss. My soul power used to be the strongest, but my essence was insufficient, so I couldn't resist the backlash of the Heavenly Dao. I could only concentrate my power within talismans but didn't dare to use the power of heaven and earth for help, afraid of hurting myself.
Now that I have dragon blood protecting my body, my essence, energy, and spirit have finally reached a balance. With the Heavenly Dao King Crown empowering me, talismans can summon ten times the power of the Heavenly Dao to stack upon me, and the backlash can be easily withwritten. Heh, I finally have a moment to hold my head high. Xia Chen chuckled.
Now, Xia Chen seemed completely transformed, worlds apart from before. At this moment, he had finally stepped into the realm he had dreamed of.
"Xia Chen, do you feel something is off?"
Suddenly, Guo Ran's expression grew serious as he said to Xia Chen. Guo Ran looked into the distance, his eyes full of caution.
