The Hall Master was besieged by eight half-step Immortal-level experts, and one of the blood clan experts was actually having one arm torn off by the Hall Master.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen cried out in alarm. Just as the Hall Master tore apart one arm of a blood clan expert, a long sword silently appeared, stabbing into the Hall Master's back and piercing through his chest.
"Night Assassin!"
Long Chen was both shocked and furious. He was a half-step immortal level Night Assassin, and the Hall Master had actually fallen victim. At that moment, Long Chen's heart felt like it was about to race. This sudden turn of events had come too suddenly.
The Hall Master was pierced through by a single sword. He looked down at the longsword in his chest, slowly turned his head, and looked at the figure behind him. A ferocious smile appeared on his face.
The Night Clan expert was a thin, gaunt old man. When the Hall Master smiled at him, all the hair on his body stood on end, as if a demon had been watching him.
He tried to pull out his sword, only to be shocked to find that the sword seemed to have taken root inside the Hall Master's body, making it impossible to pull out.
"Roar!"
The Hall Master suddenly let out a furious roar, a powerful aura erupted, and blood spurted from his body, along with the long sword.
"Pfft!"
The half-step immortal-level expert of the Dark Night Clan was struck by the blood sword, his flesh shattering with a thunderous crash.
The Night Clan was extremely destructive, but their bodies were weak. The moment his body shattered, his primordial spirit transformed into a streak of light and shot away.
"Pfft"
As soon as he moved, the Hall Master slapped him to pieces, killing another half-step immortal-level expert.
Now that the Hall Master had already slain two half-step immortal-level experts, his ferocity made countless people fear.
The wound on the Hall Master's chest vanished rapidly in an instant, as if nothing had happened. After all, it was a half-step immortal expert, and the wound stabbed by an immortal divine weapon had healed just like that.
The faces of those attacking the Hall Master changed dramatically; they had never seen such a terrifying presence.
"The Jingyuan Lord won't let me take the initiative to fight, but if someone does hit me, I can fight back without restraint. Heh, after so many years, finally the chance has come."
The Hall Master's face was sinister, his smile tinged with cruelty, and his eyes were filled with bloodthirst.
He was like a sealed demon god, now finally torn off the seal, ready to slaughter the entire world.
"Whoosh!"
The Hall Master moved, grabbing down with a claw that collapsed into the void, and with one strike, he directly covered all eight half-step immortal-level experts.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion erupted, the void shattered, myriad paths shattered, a ripple rapidly spread, and countless powerful beings were instantly annihilated by the terrifying death ripple.
As the death ripple spread, its power weakened, transforming into a terrifying gale that sent countless powerful beings flying directly by it.
The ground kept collapsing, countless powerful beings unable to fly, falling straight into the abyss. The collapsed ground rushed toward Long Chen and the others in pursuit.
"Quick, run!"
Guo Ran screamed in terror, watching countless powerful figures fall into the collapsed area, his scalp tingling with fear.
The battles of half-step immortal-level experts were terrifying; they were like ants, easily crushed by a single misstep.
Long Chen finally understood why Bai Zhantang said the Hall Master was unreliable. This guy was a battle fanatic—once a fight broke out, he didn't care about others' lives.
"Boom boom boom..."
The Hall Master's side took on eight opponents at once, forcing the eight half-step immortal experts to retreat in disarray, so there was no need to worry about him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a tremendous explosion echoed, plunging the entire world into darkness. The direction of the noise was actually coming from Saint King State.
"Buzz"—
In the endless darkness, a divine light rose like a meteor. The light lingered in the darkness for a breath's time, and the runes around it rapidly lit up.
"That's the Pearl of Fortune."
Someone exclaimed in surprise—the pearl was exactly the same as the Fortune Pearl inside the arena.
"This is the true Pearl of Fortune. The Saint King Conference has just ended, and a new generation of Saint Kings is about to be born." Someone cried out in alarm.
This phenomenon was recorded in history: after the champion of the Saint King Assembly was crowned, he would receive the blessing of the Fortune Pearl and become a Saint King.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly,
the Pearl of Fortune shot toward Long Chen at high speed. At that moment, countless powerful figures roared, trying to block it.
But the laws of heaven and earth were already in chaos, and they couldn't jump at all; they could only watch helplessly as the divine light flew overhead.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a half-step immortal-level expert made a move. It was a human warrior, but wearing a mask to conceal his aura, reaching out to grab the Fortune Pearl.
"Pfft"
The moment his hand grabbed the Fortune Pearl, one of his arms exploded with a thunderous crash, and the Fortune Pearl was completely unable to resist.
Seeing this scene, countless powerful beings were terrified. Even half-step immortal-level experts couldn't stop them—the true Saint King was truly about to be born.
"Whoosh!"
The Fortune Pearl suddenly stopped above Long Chen's head, then slowly landed on him.
Long Chen felt his whole body tremble, strange energy flowing through his body. At that moment, his divine sense extended infinitely, covering the nine heavens and ten earths, the myriad worlds.
However, this situation lasted only a moment. Long Chen felt as if he were in a dream—a dream that felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
Then, countless runes appeared on Long Chen's body, glowing just like when the Dragonblood Legion and others had received the rune blessings.
"Quick, kill Long Chen! Once we kill him, we can compete for the Saint King runes." Ye Wuchen shouted.
With Ye Wuchen's shout, everyone went mad and rushed desperately toward Long Chen. Although the Saint King Arena had disappeared, its rules still remained; otherwise, the Saint King Pearl wouldn't have been bestowed upon Long Chen.
In other words, Long Chen's performance in the arena was recognized by the Saint King arena, who recognized him as the current Saint King.
As a result, countless prodigies had jealous eyes reddened. Most importantly, they were in the blessing phase. If Long Chen was killed, the Saint King Pearl would likely choose a new owner, giving them a chance.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the void in front of Long Chen and the others exploded. A masked elder wielding an immortal long blade slashed fiercely at Long Chen.
"You bastard who doesn't dare show your face, if you've got guts, show your ass." Another half-step immortal-level powerhouse hiding in the shadows made his move, Mo Nian cursed loudly.
This man was clearly human. Human powerhouses helping outsiders kill human Saint Kings enraged countless people.
"Buzz!"
Mo Nian gripped his longbow, stepped across, and blocked Long Chen's attack. He blocked the old man's strike with the bowstring, the bowstring trembled violently, and Mo Nian immediately felt a tremendous force surge, his internal organs about to explode.
Suddenly, Long Chen pressed a large hand on his back, and half of the terrifying power was absorbed by him.
"Puff puff"
Mo Nian and Long Chen simultaneously spat blood wildly. Together, they resisted the attack of a half-step immortal level expert, but were both injured.
"Buzz!"
The masked old man pressed his advantage and slashed down with another sword strike.
"Sss!"
Suddenly, a sword aura pointed at the masked elder. The old man was startled and hurriedly swung his sword to block.
"Bang!"
The sword energy shattered by him, but some residual sword energy slashed across his face, slashing from his brow to the corner of his mouth, leaving a bloody gash. The mask covering his face slipped off, revealing a panicked expression.
