"Rumble rumble ..."
The
sea of stars rose and froze, the eight stars revolved, and the myriad paths of the heavens roared and exploded, illuminating the entire world with starlight.
Compared to before, the aura of Long Chen's Eight-Star Battle Body was completely different. It seemed to be given life, losing a bit of stiffness and gaining a touch of liveliness.
However, within the chaotic space, the runes on the eight stars remained dim and had not been lit.
However, Long Chen had already sensed that from the depths of the distant sky, endless star power was slowly surging toward him.
A certain force had blocked Long Chen's connection with them, but now they had all sensed each other.
Although the power from the depths of the sky couldn't be directly transmitted to Long Chen's body, he had already sensed its presence.
It was the Heavenly Dao. Although it could not give Long Chen more power now, sensing its existence gave him endless confidence.
"Rumble rumble rumble...
Long Chen was completely covered in his starry battle suit, his long hair flying, his divine eyes flashing like lightning as he looked at the blond man, his fighting spirit soaring.
After the bloody battles on the chaotic battlefield, Long Chen had truly regained his confidence. Stars swirled around him, and the endless power of the stars made him fearless of any challenge.
"I was wrong. I didn't expect you to be the successor of the Nine Stars."
The blond man's pupils contracted sharply the moment he saw Long Chen summon the Eight-Star Battle Body, then a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Unbelievable, truly unexpected. Great Brahma and Luo Tianye are such useless fools, yet they still haven't killed all the remaining Nine-Star remnants.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing. You ruined my plan, but your physical body is of great use to me. Maybe I can use the power of your Nine Star lineage to restart the spatial passage."
As the blond man spoke, his eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had thought of a way to remedy the situation.
"You really are an idiot. After so many years of chaotic energy, it still hasn't made up for your intellectual flaw. When I beat you until you kneel and beg for mercy, I'll see if you're that foolish." Long Chen opened his large hand.
"Buzz"
The
Dragonbone Evil Moon appeared in his hand. Now, the Evil Moon was in a deep sleep, and the chaotic laws wrapping around it had completely vanished.
Long Chen knew this guy had swallowed all these laws and was desperately trying to digest them.
It wasn't just him—the Qiankun Cauldron was the same. The Dragon Bone Evil Moon couldn't help Long Chen right now, but Long Chen didn't need its cooperation; he only needed a weapon that could fully withstand the power of his stars.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen lifted the massive Dragon Bone Evil Moon onto his shoulder, feeling its terrifying weight. The familiar sensation made him feel as if endless power was erupting within his body, like a volcano, ready to erupt. If he didn't act soon, his body would explode.
"This knife..."
When the blond man saw the Dragonbone Evil Moon in Long Chen's hand, his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle's tip. He sensed an aura on this evil long blade that made him tremble.
"You reckless brat, even if you are the successor of the Nine Stars, so what? With your current cultivation, you have no right to challenge me." The blond man shouted coldly.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the altar trembled. A golden sharp sword appeared in the void without warning, slashing down. The sky roared, carrying endless imperial pressure as it slashed toward Long Chen.
This strike carried not only terrifying pressure but also the Demon Emperor's will. Ordinary strong opponents could not resist, but the moment the Demon Emperor's will erupted, their will would collapse and their souls would be instantly obliterated.
"Stop yelling nonsense! Don't you know you're nothing but a corpse now?
You haven't even been revived yet, and your life runes are dead. How dare you talk nonsense? Today, I'm going to beat you until you're kneeling and calling me 'Dad!'
Facing the Demon Emperor's strike, Long Chen fiercely slashed down with the Dragon Bone Evil Moon.
"Boom!"
A
thunderous explosion shook the heavens, demonic might surged, endless starlight scattered, and the sword was sliced to dust by Long Chen with a single stroke.
However, the blond man seemed to have anticipated this outcome all along. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He formed hand seals with one hand, the altar flickering continuously. Above the sky, endless golden swords condensed, instantly forming thousands of sharp sword tips aimed straight at Long Chen.
"I haven't fought for countless years. Even if I haven't been resurrected, I'm not someone an ant like you can fight against.
But I need to be careful. Don't let my guard down and kill you, ruining my grand plan."
The blond man snorted coldly, his index finger trembling slightly. Thousands of golden swords sliced through the void, emitting a piercing sonic boom as they stabbed toward Long Chen.
"Don't waste your effort. Third Master Long isn't someone you can scheme against. Just kowtow and call him 'Daddy' and I might consider giving you a quick and easy meal."
Long Chen sneered. Facing the endless golden sword, the Dragonbone Evil Moon trembled, casting endless reflections.
"Boom boom boom boom...
The
golden giant sword was shattered one by one by Long Chen Xie Yue. The Dragon Bone Xie Yue was left incapacitated by Long Chen's swings. A series of explosions echoed, and thousands of sharp swords were all shattered by Long Chen.
However, before Long Chen could catch his breath, more golden giant swords roared toward him, greatly increasing both in quantity and power.
Clearly, this blond man wanted to keep Long Chen alive. He was testing Long Chen's true strength bit by bit, afraid that if he accidentally killed Long Chen, his power would gradually increase.
"Boom boom boom...
Long Chen swung the Dragonbone Evil Moon in his hand, not retreating a single step, wildly slashing at the golden giant swords.
These golden giant swords were composed of eighty percent of the laws of heaven and earth, ten percent demonic blood power, and ten percent chaotic energy. At the same time, within the golden swords, there was a trace of human soul energy.
Long Chen guessed that this trace of soul energy came from the countless human skulls on the altar.
Although this trace of soul energy was extremely weak, without it, the blond man's attacks would pale in comparison, and their power would be halved.
The blond man was testing Long Chen's depths, and Long Chen was also testing the blond man's secrets.
"Boom boom boom...
The
dragon bones danced like the evil moon as Long Chen slashed madly. The golden longsword had already formed a golden torrent, with thousands upon thousands slashing at Long Chen in every breath.
The blond man was deliberately draining Long Chen's power. In life, he was a terrifying Demon Emperor, an extremely powerful existence even in the Chaos Era.
Even though he was already dead, the power he could command was still unimaginable.
This grand yet tedious offense and defense lasted for a full half incense stick's time. After that time, the Dragon Bone Evil Moon in Long Chen's hand suddenly pointed toward the sky, and the violent power of the stars swept upward, piercing straight into the heavens.
"Buzz!"
A blade shadow stretched for ten thousand miles, shattering the endless golden sword, unstoppable as it slashed straight toward the golden-haired man on the altar.
"Warm-up over, I've pretty much figured out your base. Come on, let's fight to the death!"
Long Chen slashed out with his blade, and before the blade shadow could fall, he was already like a bolt of lightning, rushing toward the altar.
