The newcomer's blood surged to the heavens, divine radiance swirling behind his head, radiating a powerful pressure from the Heavenly Dao—clearly a powerhouse who had condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown.
Clearly, these powerful figures had successfully condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown elsewhere in another treasure land, exhausted all local resources, and rushed over immediately, hoping to seize more chaotic energy.
When they saw the endless chaotic energy erupting here, their eyes instantly turned red. Especially when they saw the golden dragon scales embraced by eighteen ancient Dragon Kings, feeling the boundless chaotic energy, their eyes filled with endless greed and madness.
"Kill!"
This group of beings numbered in the hundreds, coming from different races. When they saw the massive golden dragon scales, they didn't hesitate and charged straight at them.
This group was already extremely powerful, and now that they had condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown, their aura surged and they became arrogant.
When he saw the golden dragon scales, he abandoned the eighteen surrounding dragons and charged at Long Chen, aiming to seize the best one if he wanted to.
"Now is the most difficult time. The first batch of experts who have formed the Heavenly Dao King Crown have appeared, and there will be more and more such experts in the future.
Judging by the boss's attitude, he won't be able to get out of the pass anytime soon. We must be prepared for a protracted battle, and every bit of strength must be spent where it matters—don't waste your stamina. "Watching those powerful figures rushing in, Xia Chen warned.
"Don't worry, I won't waste energy just to show off." Guo Ran laughed heartily, but felt a bit embarrassed inside. If Xia Chen hadn't reminded him, he would have already put on a flashy show.
"Attack!"
Seeing those powerful figures wearing the Heavenly Dao King crown charging forward, runes swirling in Xia Chen's hands, and with a flicker, he vanished into thin air.
When it reappeared, it was already before a tall being, and a palm struck down on that being.
"Anyone who stands in my way dies."
The creature saw Xia Chen and didn't take this seemingly frail scholar seriously at all. He threw a punch, sending out countless golden beams. Unexpectedly, he was actually a master of the power of gold.
"Boom!" Xia Chen's
palm slammed into his fist. Golden dragon scales lit up on his arm, each marked with a golden symbol. After a thunderous explosion, the burly man was shattered into pieces by Xia Chen's strike, like a shattered golden statue, falling from the void.
"With such poor control, you still dare to speak arrogantly?"
Xia Chen sneered, killing the powerful figure in one blow, then shouted coldly, "Anyone who approaches the Golden Dragon Scales will be killed without mercy!" "
Buzz"
After Xia Chen killed that being with a single blow, his figure flickered and vanished from sight. When he reappeared, yet another powerful figure was blown apart by a single punch.
Xia Chen's speed was as fast as a ghost, coming and going without a trace. With every strike, a powerful figure was inevitably killed.
In an instant, seven powerful beings had already been killed. It should be known that all these beings were terrifying beings who had condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown. Xia Chen could strike each opponent without a single strike.
"Wow, this is about to be invincible!"
Guo Ran wielded his battle blade, slaying two powerful beings in succession. Seeing Xia Chen's swift and swift moves, he couldn't help but be shocked.
At this moment, Xia Chen actually used all the dragon scales on his body as a vessel, using his own essence and spirit as a guide, and blood as ink, directly carving talismans onto the dragon scales.
Any talisman he could control could be freely engraved on dragon scales. Previously, when fighting that master of the power of metal, he had imbued his arm with the talisman of golden power, breaking hardness with the support of dragon blood. Now, he feared close combat and could annihilate his opponent in one blow.
After that, he consecutively killed six powerful beings. Xia Chen's mind moved with his thoughts, his talisman source was born, each time switching to a different talisman, specifically choosing to counter the opponent's talisman and empower himself. These powerful beings didn't even have a chance to resist and were wiped out in a single strike by Xia Chen.
"Die!"
Guo Ran roared, sheathed his long blade, and threw a fierce punch. The void shattered, shockwaves roared. The dozen or so strong warriors attacking him were shattered by his punch. Guo Ran unleashed the power of the Supreme Arm.
"I told you, use your strength sparingly. Even more terrifying experts might arrive soon. Don't ruin the big event." Xia Chen said angrily.
Guo Ran's face instantly flushed red. Seeing how terrifying Xia Chen was, he felt a bit resentful and wanted to explode, but he forgot Xia Chen's earlier warning.
"I'm trying to intimidate them with my strength, making them go elsewhere. Otherwise, if one comes and kills another, the two of us will be exhausted." Guo Ran transmitted his voice to Xia Chen. Although he was trying to argue, what he said was not without reason.
Because after this strike, countless beings rushing forward were frightened by Guo Ran and forced to retreat. Their momentum was interrupted, and their minds, clouded by desire, became much clearer.
"There are so many treasure lands around, yet you refuse to go, yet insist on coming here to your deaths. Why come in such a difficult situation?" Guo Ran scared them off with a single blow, shook his head, and put on a compassionate pose.
With Guo Ran's reminder, these people finally looked at the other dragons. They hesitated, clearly because the terrifying power of Guo Ran and Xia Chen had intimidated them.
No matter how good the treasure is, it must be enjoyed alive. Although there are hundreds of them, it seems that even if they worked together, they might not be able to kill two of them. If things went wrong, they might be defeated one by one and might be wiped out.
Although they came from the same place, they were not from the same faction. Their hearts were divided, and they didn't know how to cooperate with each other. Even if they attacked together, they wouldn't gain much advantage.
"Everyone, don't fall for his stalling tactics. He's just stalling for time. If we keep waiting, when other powerhouses arrive, the benefits might not be ours." A demon shouted loudly, clearly a bit clever.
"A delaying tactic?" How funny. Since you're so smart and can see I'm trying to stall, why not just charge straight in? What do you mean? Trying to perseach others to get a share of the benefits for themselves?
Come on, make a move. As long as you take the lead, they'll believe what you say. Guo Ran said disdainfully.
As soon as Guo Ran said this, all the beings turned to look at the demon clan powerhouse. The demon clan expert was instantly shocked and furious, yet unable to refute him.
If he took the lead, Xia Chen and Guo Ran would definitely kill him immediately to crush their morale. Not to mention the two working together, even anyone could easily take him down.
"Hmph, you treacherous human. Let's see how long you can hold out. I'll come back to deal with you later."
The demon clan member dared not be the first to act. He snorted coldly and charged straight toward a distant giant dragon corpse, sensing that there were few strong fighters there and could gain benefits.
After the demon clan powerhouse left, other experts began searching for targets. Although they had already condensed the Heavenly Dao King Crown, it could grow. The more chaotic energy they absorbed, the stronger their abilities became.
Having just eliminated a crisis, the two hadn't even caught their breath when the world around them roared as countless powerful figures rushed in from all directions. Xia Chen and Guo Ran's expressions grew serious again. This time, the number of enemies was ten times greater than in the previous wave.
"Throw a punch and save yourself from a hundred punches. Looks like you need to switch your routine—one in front and one behind." Xia Chen took a deep breath, runes swirling across his dragon scales. He exchanged a glance with Guo Ran, and both nodded in agreement, then charged directly at these terrifying beings.
"Buzz"
Ninety-nine talismans swirled in Xia Chen's hand, forming a lotus flower. The runes on his dragon scales surged with flames, like rivers converging into a sea, rushing toward the lotus. The lotus was instantly ignited, releasing a world-destroying aura.
"Try the boss's ultimate move, the World-Destroying Fire Lotus."
With a sharp shout, Xia Chen let out a flaming lotus in his hand, blossoming in an instant, and fiercely pushed toward the beings ahead.
