"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, Long Chen's fist smashed into a massive shield resembling a city gate, instantly causing his blood to surge violently and blood to spurt out wildly.
This was a giant shield of astonishing origin, engraved with countless ancient beast illustrations and texts. It was summoned by a great demon. Long Chen had killed dozens of powerful figures in succession, yet suffered a heavy defeat against this giant shield.
"Suppress them for me!"
The demon clan expert formed hand seals with both hands, driving the giant shield to smash fiercely at Long Chen once again.
"One-Star Divine Fall"
With a furious shout and a palm strike, a starball shot out. To Long Chen's surprise, the starball he had condensed before was only the size of a fist.
Here, the Star Orb was three feet in diameter, slamming hard against the giant shield.
"Boom!"
The giant shield couldn't withstand the power of the star sphere and shattered with a thunderous crash. The demon clan expert was blown to dust the moment the shield shattered.
"Twin Stars Flying Rainbow"
"Three-Star Soul Chaser"
"Four-Star Prisoner Demon"
"..."
Long Chen roared repeatedly, using the power of the stars as if it were free, frantically unleashing the strongest deadly techniques. He wasn't worried at all about his star power running dry.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Four pillars of stars appeared on the battlefield, rapidly closing together, and countless beings were shattered by the terrifying pillars.
"Boom!"
The moment the four pillars of the stars closed together, they exploded with a roar, sending ripples across the sea of stars.
"Puff puff puff..."
Countless beings were struck by the ripple and instantly turned to nothingness. A large swath of the enemies in the core area of Long Chen's battlefield was wiped out.
"The Nine-Star Heir is indeed powerful. Let me have a chance to meet you!"
At that moment, a cold snort rang out. As soon as the sound began, a sharp sword aura pierced through the void, stabbing straight toward Long Chen's back.
"Boom!"
Long Chen casually slammed it down, and with a loud explosion, the sword energy was shattered by his palm. However, the moment he shattered the sword energy, his palm ached sharply, blood gushing from his palm, and a large gash was actually cut open by the sword energy.
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. Such terrifying sword energy was something he had only ever seen at Yue Zifeng in his life.
He turned his head and saw a man dressed in a blue robe, holding a long sword, his face cold and arrogant, staring at him coldly.
On this person's chest was a circular pattern, adorned with endless runes, embroidered with two characters on each side. These were the first-generation Jiuli Immortal scripts, which Long Chen recognized as the characters "Ling Tian."
"Luo Zixu, a disciple of the Sword God Ling Tian, has come to appreciate." The man looked at Long Chen and said coldly.
"There is only one Sword God. When did the Ling Tian Sword God appear? Is this self-proclaimed? Long Chen said coldly.
Long Chen had studied history and knew that since the chaotic era, there has been only one Sword God in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Sword God is truly the Sword God—he is the God of Swords, without a name.
He is the highest faith of sword cultivators. All sword cultivators in the world are his disciples and receive his blessing.
Long Chen had once discussed with Yue Zifeng, who firmly believed in the existence of the Sword God. Yue Zifeng had sensed his presence more than once.
Now, another Sword God has appeared, and he is also called the Ling Tian Sword God. This is completely different from historical records.
However, as soon as Long Chen spoke, the man's expression changed, murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he spoke with a sinister expression:
"Ignorant fool! The Sword God you mentioned has long since died. Now, the only Sword God in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is my master, the Sword God Ling Tian.
Too lazy to waste words with a dead man, just take this. "
"Buzz"
Luo Zixu's long sword trembled, its sword buzzing, heaven and earth trembling. The laws of the Heavenly Dao were sliced apart by endless sword energy. With a single sword thrust, a flying rainbow shot straight toward Long Chen's face.
Before the sword energy arrived, the fierce killing intent made Long Chen feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his face aching as if pricked by needles. This was an extremely terrifying sword cultivator; aside from Yue Zifeng, Long Chen had never encountered such a dreadful presence.
The most terrifying thing was that this sword strike couldn't be dodged. Once evaded, he would be put on the defensive, and his combo would pour out like a mighty river, instantly putting Long Chen on the defensive, until he was defeated.
"Boom!"
Long Chen threw a punch, starlight dazzling above it. With a loud explosion, the sword energy was shattered, and his star power was sliced apart, leaving another gash on his fist.
Previously, Long Chen had slain countless powerful opponents. In his Eight-Star Battle Body state, no weapon could harm him in the slightest, but this person's sword energy could break through the defenses of the star's power.
Sword cultivators have always been hailed as the foremost in attack and the most lethal power since ancient times, never questioned by anyone.
Because their swordsmanship surpasses all laws, they claim to have cultivated to the extreme, able to cut through all laws of the world.
"Buzz"
Long Chen fought head-on and suffered a loss, but he didn't mind. He stepped into the void, taking eight consecutive steps, each stride in a very strange direction, seemingly dodging yet seemingly trying to escape.
However, as he took the eighth step, Long Chen mysteriously appeared before Luo Zixu. At that moment, Luo Zixu's face changed dramatically as he rapidly retreated.
Sword cultivators' attacks were said to be number one, but their defense was said to be the worst. If someone got close, it would be fatal—an ordinary punch could kill them.
"Boom!"
However, just as he stepped back, trying to put some distance between himself and Long Chen, Long Chen threw a punch. This punch wasn't aimed at Luo Zixu, but struck the void itself. With a loud explosion, space distorted in large areas.
Luo Zixu, rapidly retreating, suddenly felt the space become viscous, as if he were in water, and his movements became clumsy and sluggish.
The most terrifying thing was that, although he was clearly retreating, his body was charging straight at Long Chen.
"Five-Star Sky Break"
Long Chen shouted sharply, and five stars charged toward Luo Zixu.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Luo Zixu shouted angrily, stepping on the void as his body rapidly retreated. His long sword flashed like lightning, slashing wildly. Five stars were completely sliced apart, split into ten segments, and sent flying.
It must be said, sword cultivators are terrifying. Their sword energy sliced through the stars but failed to ignite the power within. Just for this alone, the strength of a sword cultivator was truly heaven-defying, rendering Long Chen's violent strike nearly ineffective.
However, Luo Zixu broke Long Chen's Five-Star Pearl Sequence with a single strike. But before he could celebrate, he was shocked to find six stars surrounding him.
"Six-Star Deification"
With a sharp shout, Long Chen shouted as six stars lit up simultaneously, instantly sealing off the space around Luo Zixu.
"You ..."
Luo Zixu's face changed dramatically. Only now did he realize that Long Chen was cunning and scheming; all his previous moves were merely to lure him step by step, into this trap.
Six-Star Fengshen is an upgraded version of the four-star Prison Demon. Its concealment is even stronger, its sealing power greater, and once activated, it's almost unstoppable.
Back when Long Chen was on the Nine Star Trial Arena, he was twisted into a twisted twist by this move. Even with his physical body, he was nearly crushed. Long Chen didn't believe a sword cultivator could withstand such terrifying power.
"Buzz"
Long Chen changed the hand seal, splitting the six stars into upper and lower, three forward rotations, and three reverse rotations. The moment it activated, Luo Zixu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Clearly, under the Six-Star God-Sealing Technique, his frail body simply couldn't hold up.
"Sss"
Just as Luo Zixu was about to be crushed to death, Long Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. Shocked and furious, Long Chen kicked hard behind him.
However, this very action caused his six-star god-sealing system to collapse, and Luo Zixu was sent flying.
"Boom!"
Long Chen kicked through the void with one kick, but missed the attacker. However, he saw a woman wielding a slender blade longsword, her face menacing.
"The Fate-Hunting Clan"
When Long Chen saw the longsword in the woman's hand, he nearly ground his teeth to pieces.
