Long Chen's movements were too fast and sudden. Although the two were originally very far apart, in an instant, Long Chen was right in front of him. Even someone as strong as Yu Zihao had never witnessed such terrifying speed.
In fact, this was the Nebula Step that Long Chen had secretly learned from the Nine Star successor. The name wasn't given by Long Chen, but was told by the Qiankun Cauldron.
This step is based on the directions of the stars in the Nine Heavens, evolved from this footwork. It is said that when mastered to the extreme, one can roam the starry seas and step beyond the heavens.
Although he had only learned a bit and couldn't move as smoothly and swiftly as a nine-star disciple, his sudden use startled even Yu Zihao.
Seeing Long Chen strike with his palm, he didn't have time to activate the Brahma Divine Diagram. His hand seals rapidly changed, flame runes swirling before him, instantly forming seventeen flame shields.
"Boom!"
Seventeen flame shields formed, but Long Chen pierced through them with a single palm, unable to stop his power at all. The starry giant hand struck Yu Zihao's face hard.
With a loud "pop
," Yu Zihao staggered from the blow, his head and feet falling like a meteor to the ground.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar shook the earth, waves of earth spread across the entire world. The earth was struck by a deep pit tens of thousands of li deep, surrounded by shocking cracks like a spiderweb, stretching to the edge of sight.
"What?"
The spectators outside were shocked by the scene. Yu Zihao's aura was so terrifying, clearly at his strongest, yet he was still defeated by this man in black.
You have to understand, that was a disciple of the Brahma Divine Venerable, yet he was being pinned down and beaten repeatedly, slapped repeatedly, just like an adult hitting a child.
"Buzz!" Suddenly,
the Brahma Divine Map above the Ninth Heaven trembled violently. People had been looking at the large pit underground, but suddenly realized that Yu Zihao's figure had somehow appeared within the divine map.
"Pfft!"
Yu Zihao spat out a mouthful of blood. The moment he spat out, the divine diagram trembled violently, and divine light enveloped Long Chen.
"Boom!"
A giant hand reached out from the divine diagram, reaching for Long Chen. The hand was covered in endless fur, not resembling a human palm. As soon as the hand appeared, countless paths collapsed and space twisted—a terrifying ultimate move.
"Two-Star Flying Rainbow"
Facing the sky-covering giant hand, Long Chen did not retreat at all. He spread his hands, two stars condensing in them, and simultaneously struck at the sky-covering hand.
In front of that giant hand, Long Chen was as insignificant as an ant, but the moment his palms touched the sky-covering giant hand, a shocking scene unfolded—the hands shattered with a thunderous crash.
"Pfft!"
At the very moment the giant hand shattered with a thunderous crash, Yu Zihao inside the divine map spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face instantly changing drastically.
At the same time, cracks appeared on the Brahma Divine Diagram. At that moment, terror flashed in Yu Zihao's eyes.
"Whoosh!"
The Brahma Divine Diagram trembled and was about to break through the air, but Long Chen grabbed it in one swift motion.
"I'll tear up this broken picture of yours."
Long Chen shouted sharply, starlight swirling across his arms. He knew Yu Zihao was hiding inside the divine map; unless the map was shattered, he couldn't even attack this guy.
"Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen was about to exert his strength to tear apart the divine diagram, the statue behind Yu Zihao began to glow.
"Boom!" Long Chen's
hands were sore, numb from the violent force, and he was sent flying. A surge of hot blood surged, and Long Chen nearly coughed up blood.
Long Chen was furious: "Even if the power of Great Brahma protects you, I will still shatter your turtle shell." Long
Chen roared, about to summon his Seven-Star Battle Body to unleash his full power, but after the divine map knocked him back, he didn't hesitate at all and simply transformed into a streak of light and flew away.
"Stop right there! If you've got the guts, stay and settle this with me." Long Chen never expected that before the battle even officially began, this guy would already escape.
"Just you wait. After I cross the tribulation, I fully fuse with the Brahma Divine Diagram and control its power—that will be your death moment." Yu Zihao's venomous roar echoed from within the divine map.
Long Chen sprang up to give chase, but in the end, he was too slow. The divine diagram transformed into a streak of light, merging into the world and vanishing without a trace.
The Brahma Divine Map disappeared with Yu Zihao, and the surrounding experts watching the battle immediately scattered in all directions.
Previously, they had dealings with Yu Zihao, fearing that Long Chen would take out his anger on them and take them out together.
"Wow, Long Chen, you're so strong now."
At this moment, Yu Qingxuan and the Qiankun Cauldron appeared. Yu Qingxuan's face was full of admiration. Although she had known Yu Qingxuan for a long time, seeing her look at him like that made even Long Chen feel a bit elated.
This time, Long Chen made a bold move. The power of the Great Brahma Heavenly Scripture neutralized Yu Zihao's suppression, and with the power of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, he crushed Yu Zihao in an instant. The feeling was truly exhilarating.
"By the way, senior, why did that guy suddenly run off? He should still have some strength left!" Long Chen said. Judging by his feeling, this guy shouldn't be that weak, so suddenly running off left Long Chen puzzled.
Qiankun Cauldron said, "The Brahma Divine Diagrams of the Great Brahma disciples are a type of divine weapon that can grow. Each disciple has one Brahma Divine Diagram."
However, at first, these Brahma Divine Diagrams could only be nurtured within their bodies. Once they reached a certain level, they needed to be activated by Brahma's power.
The Brahma Divine Barrier in the temple is used to activate the Brahma Divine Diagram. Once activated, the Brahma Divine Diagram is initially quite fragile.
Although Yu Zihao had already activated the Brahma Divine Diagram, he was too careless. Your star power damaged the Brahma Divine Diagram, destroying its source power and putting it at risk of collapse.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Yu Zihao no longer intended to fight you head-on. Although he still had a powerful vision as his backing, he didn't dare to risk continuing to fight you.
Because repairing the Brahma Divine Map consumes the source power of the phenomenon. If you damage the divine map, it scares him.
It should be understood that the divine map was a token bestowed upon them by the Great Brahma Heaven. If the divine map shattered, they would lose the blessing of the Great Brahma Heaven's faith power.
If that happened, it would mean losing their status as Brahma disciples, which was the last thing they could bear. "
Is there really such a thing?" Long Chen couldn't help but say in surprise; this was the first time he'd heard of such a situation.
"The number of three thousand disciples of the Great Brahma Heaven is constant and unchanging. Countless followers of the Great Brahma Heaven have waited in vain for millions of years, even at the cost of self-sealing, just to wait for someone to lose the Brahma Divine Map and give up their status.
If Yu Zihao lost the divine map, countless prodigies would immediately fight fiercely for this spot.
And Yu Zihao losing his identity as a Brahma disciple is equivalent to losing all his glory. So, if you destroy the Brahma Divine Map, before the map is repaired, he won't dare to fight you even if it kills him. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"However, he said that after he passes the tribulation and fuses with the divine diagram, he will return for revenge. It seems that by then, he will undergo a complete transformation, and his strength will soar by leaps and bounds." Yu Qingxuan said with some concern.
"There's nothing to worry about. If he faces tribulation, so will I. Once I do, hmph, I won't give him a chance to escape." Long Chen said with boundless heroic spirit.
Now, he is full of confidence, a confidence that stems from a surging power within him.
"Let's go!"
"Where to?" Yu Qingxuan asked.
"Go meet up with the brothers."
...
"Boom!"
Several days later, with a loud explosion, the Qiankun Cauldron pierced through the heavenly wall. That was the heavenly wall between the Illusory Spirit Realm and the Void Spirit Realm, and it had been pierced by the cauldron.
The moment Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan stepped into the Void Spirit Realm, the jade tokens at their waists lit up rapidly.
"Not good, they're in danger and urgently need reinforcements."
At that moment, Long Chen's expression changed dramatically.
