Beneath the cloak was a skeleton, its flesh and blood mangled as if it had been gnawed by something, but not cleanly.
Even Long Chen, with his experience, was startled. Just as he was still in shock, he opened his large hand, and the White Bone Claw slashed at Long Chen like lightning.
The moment the White Bone Claw reached out, countless runes converged into five heavenly veins of dragon energy, and the entire space collapsed in an instant.
"Damn it...
Five
Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi strands—this was a terrifying Five Veins Heavenly Saint. The most terrifying thing was that it neither formed seals nor uttered words; with a wave of its hand, it could unleash the full power of all five veins of dragon energy.
"Boom!"
Without hesitation,
Long Chen unleashed the Demon Moon Cauldron in the face of such a terrifying attack, smashing it fiercely at the man. With a loud explosion, the Demon Moon Cauldron was sent flying by the bone claw's palm, directly piercing through the earth.
At this moment, Long Chen's figure had already vanished. The man was shocked; such a strange movement technique was the first time he had seen it.
"Buzz"
At that moment, a large hand reached out from afar, trying to pull out the bone sword from the altar. Even now, Long Chen was still thinking about stealing the treasure. When Long Chen's hand touched the sword, it suddenly trembled. Long Chen's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly let go.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, a pillar of light shot up from the hilt of the sword. The violent force sent Long Chen and that powerful figure flying at the same time.
"Rumble rumble...
This underground world exploded with a roar, and then a colossal object slowly rose from beneath the surface.
It was a giant egg. The moment it appeared, its terrifying pressure made Long Chen's soul tremble. Within this giant egg was sealed an extremely dreadful existence.
"Boom!"
Without thinking,
Long Chen summoned the Yaoyue Cauldron back and smashed it hard onto the giant egg. With a loud explosion, the egg was smashed open with a large hole.
"Whoosh...
As the
giant egg broke, purple immortal energy surged out from within. Seeing the purple energy, the Qiankun Cauldron, Dragonbone Evil Moon, and Xiaotian went mad, rushing upstream and plunging into the giant egg.
"Hey, hey...
As they charged, Long Chen was left all alone. The mysterious powerhouse was both shocked and furious, his figure flickering and vanishing in an instant.
The moment he disappeared, Long Chen suddenly felt a fierce killing intent surge over him, making his scalp tingle.
"Eight-Star Battle Body—Open!"
Facing such a terrifying powerhouse, Long Chen dared not hold back. He summoned his strongest power and smashed his fist fiercely into the void.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, starlight danced and blood splattered. The black longsword shattered the starlight on Long Chen's fist, leaving it a bloody mess.
This was the first time Long Chen had encountered such a terrifying opponent. With a casual strike, he had actually broken through the defense of his Starry Sky Battle Suit.
"Nine-Star Heir?"
After clashing head-on with Long Chen, the mysterious expert snorted coldly, his voice tinged with surprise. Although it was a skeletal bone, from his voice it was clear he was a man.
There was a hint of surprise in his voice, but upon learning Long Chen's identity, his aura grew even fiercer. Five strands of Heavenly Vein dragon energy swirled behind him, rapidly rising.
"Such terrifying pressure!"
Long Chen was startled; he had never seen such a terrifying existence before. As the five dragon veins rapidly turned, they gradually formed a spatial gate.
The mysterious strange man, with empty eyes, looked at Long Chen and said coldly:
"I didn't expect to meet a Nine-Star Heir here. Very good. Let Li Changgen witness whether the legendary Nine-Star Heir is really that powerful."
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, a massive sky-covering gate appeared, its massive portal covering the entire sky.
Five strands of Heavenly Vein dragon energy were embedded on it, forming a strange lock diagram. The text and images flowed together, instantly illuminating the entire dark gate.
When he saw the gate, Long Chen was shocked:
"The Gate of Hell?"
Long Chen recognized it at a glance—it was the Gate of Hell. He knew it all too well. Back then, he had stolen the door ring and bolt of the Gate of Hell, and accidentally released Wu Tian.
Now, seeing the Gate of Hell again, the terrifying pressure nearly suffocated Long Chen to the point of suffocation.
"You actually know the Gate of Hell. It seems you've been tainted by the karma of hell. Today, let me end your life and put an end to this karmic cycle."
"Gate of Hell—Open!" Li Changgeng roared angrily.
"Rumble...
The massive portal slowly opened, followed by nine-colored divine radiance rushing toward the face, illuminating the entire world.
And the moment the whole world was lit, a chilling aura surged, trees withered, the earth decayed, mountains collapsed, and all the vitality in heaven and earth was drained in an instant.
The gates of hell opened, and nine-colored divine radiance descended from the sky—waterfalls. Seeing them, Long Chen was stunned.
"Jiuquan"
This scene was seen by Long Chen before, and seeing it again now felt as if he were in a dream.
The gates of hell opened, the nine springs appeared, myriad paths wailed, heaven and earth overturned—this was Li Changgeng's vision. At this moment, he seemed like a god ruling over hell, looking down upon Long Chen.
In the face of that enormous phenomenon, Long Chen was as insignificant as an ant; he had never seen such a terrifying phenomenon before.
At that moment, Long Chen seemed to be facing not just one person, but the entire hell. The nine-colored waterfall surged forward, like the cycle of heaven and earth, endless and endless. The power was utterly despairing.
Long Chen's body trembled uncontrollably. It wasn't fear, but excitement. The overwhelming pressure made it hard for him to breathe.
Yet this sense of oppression deeply stimulated every nerve, every drop of his bloodline. The stars behind him swayed, starlight swirled around him, and endless power surged.
Facing a peerless powerhouse, his fighting spirit was awakening. Such a formidable opponent was rare in his life, and at that moment, his fighting spirit surged to the heavens.
"Kill!"
Li Changgen and Long Chen roared in unison, the nine-colored divine radiance and the stars in the sky trembling. Both collided fiercely like meteors.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, Long Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, flying backward, but Li Changgen merely staggered; with one strike, the difference was clear.
"Nine-Star Heir?" That's all there is to it."
Li Changgen sneered, his figure flickering and vanishing in an instant. Under the radiance of the Nine Springs Divine Light, the entire world became his domain.
"Damn, so strong!"
Long Chen was shaken so hard his blood surged violently. The Nine Springs phenomenon covered the sky, obscuring it and actually suppressing Long Chen's starry phenomenon.
This greatly weakened Long Chen's star power, and after just one encounter, he suffered a major loss.
Most importantly, the opponent had condensed five strands of Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi, while he didn't even have a hair, and the gap widened instantly.
If it were an ordinary prodigy, Long Chen would still have the strength to fight against such a gap. But Li Changgeng's background was mysterious and his strength astonishing. With the gap in dragon energy across these five heavenly veins, even Long Chen felt somewhat powerless.
Being at an absolute disadvantage instead fueled Long Chen's strong will to survive, and he rapidly formed hand seals with his left hand.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
The
stars trembled, myriad paths roared, and star shields formed one after another, instantly forming thirty-six shields.
"Boom!"
However, the thirty-six shields were pierced by a single punch. In front of that fist, the star shield Long Chen had condensed was like a sheet of white paper.
"Snap!"
But at the very moment all the shields shattered, Long Chen's right hand suddenly swept toward the void. With a loud bang, the void split open, and a figure appeared—it was Li Changgeng.
Li Changgen appeared, but at that moment he was stunned. Long Chen had actually slapped him. Although he had no face and this strike didn't harm him at all, his killing intent soared to the peak in an instant.
"Die!"
Li Changgeng roared in fury, forming hand seals. Behind him, a nine-colored divine spring flowed, and billions of chains emerged, a flood of chains swirling toward Long Chen.
