Long Chen's voice reverberated through heaven and earth, carrying endless dominance, shaking the heavens and earth and causing the world to roar.
His voice contained an invincible will, like the decree of the Lord of the Nine Heavens, reaching the heavens above and the springs below, shaking all the heavens and worlds.
Long Chen's furious shout made countless powerful figures change color, especially the older generation outside the arena, whose eyes were filled with shock.
"Such a fierce will, imposed upon heaven and earth, yet heaven and earth obey orders. This person's fate is truly terrifying."
The older generation of experts all knew that the stronger a person's will, the more they would be rejected by the Heavenly Dao, because under the Heavenly Dao, all laws are united, and no one's will is allowed to overstep the Heavenly Dao.
The Way of Heaven can only be followed, not reversed—this is common knowledge in the cultivation world. But Long Chen's angry shout was a voice suppressing the Great Dao, causing countless people to change their expressions.
People were shocked by Long Chen's fate. Such a will would never allow him to exist, and for him to survive until now, his fate must be terrifyingly tough.
Only the older generation of experts understood the terrifying nature of Long Chen's fate, while the experts inside the arena paid no attention to Long Chen's voice, which triggered the changes in the Heavenly Dao.
Faced with Long Chen's angry shout, countless people were unfazed, instead showing disdain. At this moment, Long Chen seemed to be flustered and bluffing.
However, Long Chen's expression made countless people believe that everything Ye Wuchen said was true, and Long Chen only became angry after being exposed.
"Long Chen, today we will fight to the death."
At that moment, Ye Wuchen's roar rang out. Ye Wuchen was confused and sent flying by Long Chen's slap. Just as he steadied himself, his face was already twisted and distorted.
Long Chen's slap was very powerful, but Ye Wuchen was protected by divine light and didn't seriously injure him. However, the damage was low and the insulting effect was extremely strong, causing him to suddenly go berserk.
Facing Ye Wuchen's challenge, Long Chen ignored him and said coldly to everyone on the stage:
"Those who believe in me need not say much; those who do not, words are useless. I, Long Chen, train desperately, fearless of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, blades and oil pots, all to protect the people I want to protect."
I don't care what you think or think—I want to protect the people I want to protect, so I have to break this trap.
I, Long Chen, am not a saint. I lack compassion for all and the world, and I won't explain anything to you. I just want to tell you, I've broken this trap—anyone who stands in my way will die! "
Boom!"
As Long Chen finished speaking, the void beneath his feet suddenly shattered. His wings spread wide, and he flashed like lightning. With a flicker, he reached the edge of a beam of light, where a dark lord was roaring in fury—this was Long Chen's target.
"You're the one who should die, you idiot spreading rumors and spreading false rumors."
Suddenly, a chilling wind blew and black mist billowed skyward. A ghostly figure appeared, a pitch-black claw fiercely grabbing at Long Chen—it was clearly a ghostly being.
That ghostly being was ethereal and intangible, as if it had no physical form. No one knew how it had gotten there, and its attacks were strangely and cunning.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen knew this group definitely wouldn't let him destroy the formation. The ghostly being's sharp claws struck. Long Chen snorted coldly, golden light surging on his right hand, dragon scales appearing in the shape of dragon claws, and he also struck out with a single claw.
"Boom!"
The golden dragon claw collided with the black claw, golden light and black mist erupted, and the massive impact created a ripple. Long Chen and the ghostly creature both groaned and retreated. Their strike was evenly matched, with neither gaining the upper hand.
"Rumble rumble... The
two separated, and the ripples erupting from the two centered on them spread like an avalanche. Space surged, and the violent force shattered the endless dark monsters in the void into dust, clearing out a large area of the arena.
"Die!"
Long Chen had just clashed head-on with a ghost cultivator when suddenly a sword aura attacked from behind, aiming straight for Long Chen's vital spot—it was Ye Wuchen who had made his move.
"Despicable!"
The moment Ye Wuchen made his move, Yue Zifeng couldn't help but snort coldly. Ye Wuchen was also a sword cultivator, and a powerful one at that.
But both of his attacks were sneak attacks, especially this time, when Long Chen had just clashed head-on with the ghost path beings and his blood was stagnant.
If it were another powerful cultivator launching a surprise attack, it would be understandable, but Ye Wuchen was a sword cultivator, yet he used such despicable methods that Yue Zifeng deeply despised.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen spun his body, his dragon claw spinning down sharply toward Ye Wuchen's sharp sword. Long Chen's claw caused countless people to cry out in surprise. Most thought Long Chen would dodge the move, but unexpectedly, he would take it head-on, which would surely cause him a heavy loss.
After all, Long Chen had previously engaged in a battle with a ghost path being; his old power had just gone away, new power hadn't yet formed, and he rushed to respond—this was a major taboo.
Ye Wuchen had been gathering strength for a long time and was at his peak. Wasn't Long Chen being a bit too arrogant by doing this?
"Buzz!"
Under the gaze of countless people, Long Chen's dragon claw had already struck the sword. But to everyone's surprise, instead of the surge of force they had imagined, there was a strange sound. Instead, Long Chen's claw shifted from grabbing to pulling.
Then people saw Ye Wuchen shoot like a meteor, heading straight for the nearby Dark Lord.
"What?"
People were shocked, not expecting Long Chen's move to be a feint, using force against force and misleading Ye Wuchen.
It should be known that using force against force is common among ordinary cultivators, but among true masters, very few use it because the risks are too high. In duels, masters can spot the big picture from subtle signs. If someone sees through a move, it is equivalent to giving your life to the enemy.
Amid the crowd's exclamations, Ye Wuchen's face changed drastically. He never dreamed Long Chen would change tactics so quickly—he had been deceived.
The worst part was that at this moment, he involuntarily crashed into the beam of light. His power could only be unleashed but not retracted, and Long Chen had even given him some power. Now, he could only helplessly stab at the dark lord within the beam.
With a loud explosion, the pillar of light suddenly caved in. Ye Wuchen's fierce sword strike couldn't pierce the pillar of darkness.
"Pfft!"
Ye Wuchen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. As the beam of light trembled, he was actually bounced back. The moment he bounced back, his clothes burst open, leaving him utterly disheveled.
Everyone was shocked. Ye Wuchen's full-force sword strike was actually bounced back, and the seemingly fragile beam of light hadn't suffered the slightest harm.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a loud explosion rang out in the distance as a crystal coffin slammed hard against the beam of light. It was Mo Nian who launched an attack, but the beam didn't budge at all. His crystal coffin actually developed cracks.
"Long Chen, this is a big problem." At that moment, Mo Nian's expression changed.
