At some point, a gauntlet had been worn on that large hand. These gauntlets looked like gloves, but at the knuckles of the fingers, skulls the size of dragon eyes were sculpted.
This was a strange evil weapon. The five small skeletons, radiating a terrifying aura, had just struck it with his blade, and in his mind, images of vengeful spirits demanding lives suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Long Chen's soul power was incredibly strong, yet it was still interfered with. No one knew how many vengeful souls had gathered from this evil soldier.
"Boom boom boom... The
saint swung his fists, charging at Long Chen. Long Chen's heart stirred, and he blocked repeatedly with his blood-red long blade, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
Long Chen knew this saint wanted to force him out of this herb garden, because here, he hesitated and couldn't let loose.
Long Chen thought the same: this medicinal garden was his. As long as he could hold off this Saint, he could buy more time for the Qiankun Cauldron to collect rare herbs.
Long Chen kept retreating. The farther he got from the herb garden, the sharper the Saint's attacks became, releasing the violent pressure of a Saint in a frenzy.
When they retreated a certain distance, a barrier suddenly rose between heaven and earth, enveloping the endless medicine garden. The saint roared:
"Damn you, bring your life!"
The saint forced Long Chen out of the barrier and immediately stopped hiding. The phenomenon was stretched open, endless evil energy swirling as if possessed by a demon. With one punch, he shattered countless paths and smashed fiercely at Long Chen. The power of this strike was a hundred times greater than before.
"Seven Star Battle Body, activate!"
Long Chen secretly interrupted, his divine ring trembling behind him. Seven stars illuminated the world, an endless sea of stars illuminated the universe, and the stars above the nine heavens began to shift from blurry to clear, as the entire world was enveloped by the starry sky.
"Boom!" Long Chen's
blood-red long blade struck heavily against the Saint's gauntlet. The immense force shattered the sky. In that moment, heaven and earth were upside down, and countless paths wailed—this was a duel of absolute power.
"What?"
The saint was shaken by Long Chen's blade, his blood surging, one arm numb, and his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Who exactly are you?" The saint roared in anger.
"I'm your father."
Long Chen responded, pointing his blood-red long blade at the sky.
"Buzz!" In the vision behind Long Chen,
stars swirled, and his entire arm transformed into stars, with endless stars slowly flowing into the long blade.
When the stars lit up on the long blade, the blood-red blade began to roar and explode, endless power roaring.
At that moment, the starry sky above the heavens flickered in brightness and dimming, starlight slowly falling, pouring into the long blade.
At that moment, the long blade became the link connecting the Dragon Dust phenomenon and the power of the stars in the sky. It roared endlessly, accumulating endless strength.
At that moment, the Saint of the Tianxie Sect's face changed drastically, his eyes filled with terror. Long Chen was still gathering power with this strike, but the terrifying aura already made him sense the scent of death.
"Heavenly Evil Great/Law Evil Blood Burns to the Heavens!"
The Saint of the Tianxie Sect roared in anger, suddenly spitting a mouthful of blood onto the gauntlet. The five skeletons on the gauntlet let out a piercing scream, as if billions of wronged souls had been released.
"Buzz!"
He threw a punch, and five beams of divine light shot out from the gauntlet. The radiance intertwined, shaking heaven and earth. The Saint used his own essence blood to unleash the full power of the sacred artifact.
Long Chen held the blood-red long blade, his expression solemn. At that moment, he seemed to sense another kind of profound subtlety of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique.
This mystery was hard to explain or explain, and most importantly, for some reason, he always felt something was missing.
"Could it be that this blood-red long blade isn't strong enough? Too little power to hold? "
Whoosh"
At that moment, the Saint of the Tianxie Sect launched an attack. Long Chen had no time to think; the blood-red long blade in his hand, infused with endless starlight, suddenly slashed down.
"Boom!"
The long blade struck the gauntlet, sending endless starlight erupting like a cosmic explosion, shattering with a thunderous crash.
A scream echoed from the Saint of the Tianxie Sect, half his body vanished. Long Chen's strike was so terrifying that he nearly shook him to death.
"Pfft!" Long Chen's
blood-red long blade transformed into a streak of crimson ribbon, precisely piercing through the Saint's brow.
"Buzz!"
At the very moment the long blade pierced the saint's brow, the blood-red blade roared again. A demonic mask pattern lit up on the blade, and the aura of the blood-red blade surged once more.
Long Chen's heart tightened. Although this weapon was a half-finished product, it possessed an extremely sinister ability, specifically devouring the souls of powerful individuals.
Previously, it had devoured the soul of an immortal powerhouse, activating its aura, but it hadn't changed much. However, after absorbing the saint's soul, it actually lit up a demonic mask.
The demon masks were densely embedded on the blade, some close to the blade, with serrations resembling teeth, while others were carved into the back.
Long Chen counted the masks in total: there were 999 masks. Killing one Saint would light up one face. To light up all the masks, you'd need to kill 999 Saints.
"This divine weapon was made for the Asura clan. The method to control this weapon must be in the hands of the Asura clan." Long Chen thought to himself, the Asura Clan would never reveal their secrets to outsiders.
But no matter what, this blood-red long blade could withstand the power of the stars without being shattered, and Long Chen was already quite satisfied.
With this long blade, his star power could be unleashed. Without it, defeating a Saint would require considerable strength, and killing them would be even harder, because Saints are not magical beasts; if they can't win, they'll flee.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a bronze cauldron pierced through the barrier and appeared before Long Chen.
"Got it, let's go!" Qiankun Cauldron said.
Long Chen couldn't help but feel delighted. This was way too fast—he was still thinking about how to attract everyone.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, the earth roared and exploded, followed by several terrifying auras rising upward.
"Wow, there's even a Saint in seclusion."
Long Chen immediately spread the wings of the Kunpeng and shot off like a streak of light.
"Where do you think you are?"
At that moment, six terrifying auras erupted, and six Saints charged at Long Chen at once.
However, Long Chen had gone ahead of the others. Even a Saint couldn't catch up to him for a moment, and he was doomedLong Chen flew to the place where the array disk was set up and immediately activated the array to start teleportation.
"Boom!"
The six Saints attacked simultaneously, but only shattered the mountain where Long Chen stood. By now, Long Chen had already fled without a trace.
When the six elders returned to the garden and saw that all the rare herbs had disappeared, not a single one remained, they were so furious that blood spurted out wildly.
"Reporting to Elder, the sect has sent word. Long Chen just launched a surprise attack on the Sacred Artifact Hall. The sect leader has told us to be careful..." At that moment, the sect's messenger arrived.
But just as he was halfway through speaking, he noticed the grim expressions of the people around him, as if they had lost their parents, and his heart sank halfway.
