"Rumble rumble...
Endless energy of the underworld surged, centered on Minglong Heavenly Peak, surging in all directions. Amidst the intertwining of black lightning and flames, his wings were as soft as spider silk, fluttering back and forth between heaven and earth.
At this moment, his twelve wings were like soft tentacles, reaching into the world and wildly absorbing the power of the cosmos.
At this moment, his aura did not decline but rose, growing stronger and stronger. Under the terrifying impact, Mo Yang, Chi Wufeng, and the others kept retreating.
"How could this happen?"
Mo Yang and the others were both shocked and furious. This Minglong Tianfeng was unbelievably powerful. Despite all their efforts, they still couldn't defeat him, not even able to drain his origin.
At this moment, the aura of Minglong Tianfeng surged, and the fluctuations of his bloodline pressed down with a thunderous roar. His power had already surpassed their imagination.
"I just refuse to believe in this superstition,"
a female dragon beast shouted angrily, her scales burning with fire, her life rune burning on her brow. At that moment, her aura surged several times over.
"Don't ..."
Seeing this, Mo Yang, Chi Wufeng, and the other prodigies were shocked. The female monster had actually burned her life-bound soul—her own dragon crystal—to exchange it for even greater power.
In this state, although her strength was immense, she had a fatal weakness: if the power backfired, the dragon crystal would be damaged, at best crippled, or at worst, death on the spot.
They hadn't expected that this female monster, sealed away for so many years, still had such a fiery temper. It was clear she was determined to perish together with her.
"Rumble...
Mo Yang and the others tried to stop it, but it was already too late. The dragon woman had already merged her spear and man, igniting the flame of life, and with a resolve to die or die, she charged toward Nether Dragon Heavenly Peak.
"Ten Thousand Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique."
Chi Wufeng formed hand seals with both hands, and a divine light shot out from his palms, flying straight toward the woman.
The moment he roared, Mo Yang and the others immediately pressed their large hands down on him.
"Die."
Seeing the woman charging forward, the twelve wings behind Nether Dragon Heavenly Peak fluttered, and the Dragon Spear stabbed fiercely. At that moment, all the nether energy in the world was absorbed by this spear, carrying supreme heavenly might as it was struck down.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the woman blew a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, her dragon spear instantly shattering.
However, just before she took the attack from Minglong Tianfeng head-on, the divine light fired by Chi Wufeng clung to her.
As the woman was sent flying, Chi Wufeng, Mo Yang, and the others all groaned in unison, their chests struck as if by a meteor, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out Chi Wufeng had used the Red Dragon clan's secret technique from afar, and everyone shared the damage from Minglong Tianfeng's strike.
"Sharing the damage? Try another move from me."
Nether Dragon Heavenly Peak stepped forward, catching up to the flying dragon woman. His spear sliced through the sky, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, striking fiercely as she struck.
"Oh no,"
Chi Wufeng was shocked. His secret technique could only be used once in a short time. At this distance, it was already too late to save her. Seeing the woman about to be killed, they were furious.
"Smack!"
A giant hand covered in stars grabbed the spear tip. At that moment, people saw a figure standing in front of the woman.
"Long Chen!"
Mo Yang and the others were both shocked and delighted. The one who made the move was none other than Long Chen. However, they never expected that Long Chen would actually dare to take the spear of the Nether Dragon Heavenly Peak barehanded.
They had fought countless battles with Minglong Tianfeng. His spear was a peerless divine weapon, unmatched in toughness. Unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't dare to fight head-on.
This was also why, after all this time, no one had managed to capture him—they thought the dragon spear in his hand was too terrifying.
At this moment, Long Chen's Starry Sky Battle Armor appeared, and endless stars swirled, as if a corner of the universe were scattered within the stars, containing endless wondrous Dao intent.
His battle robe fluttered, his long hair flying. Long Chen looked like a god of war descended into the starry sky, standing in the void, one hand gripping a dragon spear, gazing at Minglong Tianfeng:
"No wonder, this weapon has been blessed by the Underworld Emperor. It seems the father you recognize really cares for you. Good, good, it's worth recognizing a thief as your father."
The power of Minglong Tianfeng's spear could destroy heaven and earth, but the moment Long Chen caught it, that terrifying power vanished without a trace like a clay ox sinking into the sea. He was completely stunned.
However, hearing Long Chen's mockery again, he instantly flew into a rage, yanking his spear and kicking hard.
At the very moment he kicked fiercely, Long Chen also kicked out.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, Long Chen and Minglong Tianfeng both retreated at the same time, while Long Chen released Minglong Tianfeng's spear. Separated by a hundred miles, the two locked a cold gaze.
"What kind of power is this?"
When he saw the stars swirling around Long Chen, his power condensed without releasing, not even a trace of aura leaking out, making it impossible to sense his pressure, Chi Wufeng couldn't help but cry out in shock.
"I knew it. He didn't even go all out that day. What he's using now isn't dragon blood power at all." Mo Yang couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
That day, he lost a move. Although he was unconvinced, he was still an honorable person. Losing was a loss, and he would never deny it.
He knew Long Chen hadn't used his full strength, and likewise, he hadn't used his full strength. He had always thought that the gap in strength between himself and Long Chen was not that great.
However, at this moment, Long Chen did not use the power of dragon blood. Instead, he used a force they had never seen before, allowing him to confront the Nether Dragon Heavenly Peak, which was empowered by the laws of the underworld, barehanded. Only then did he realize that Long Chen had been hiding his true strength all along.
"Human ants dare to act arrogantly before me. Now that the gates of the Underworld have opened, I am the ruler here. You are only fit to kneel at my feet." Minglong Tianfeng swung his Dragon Spear, causing the void to buzz.
The twelve Underworld Emperor wings behind him fluttered continuously, endless laws of the Underworld swirling within. Each wing seemed to be a world of its own, and the oppressive atmosphere was utterly despairing.
His aura kept rising as the laws of the Gate of the Underworld poured in, as if it were endless.
However, facing Minglong Tianfeng, Long Chen's expression remained calm. His starry battle armor fluttered slowly, and his graceful posture brought an endless sense of security, as if as long as he was there, even if the sky collapsed, Long Chen could hold his ground.
"What's wrong? After recognizing a thief as his father, has his value really increased? A mere watchdog dares to shout at your Third Master Long? I really don't know where you get the courage to do it." Long Chen said calmly.
"Your Highness, quickly kill them!"
A half-step Dragon Emperor from the Nether Dragon clan shouted loudly. Although they had the blessing of the Netherworld's laws, their numbers were reduced to only one-tenth, and they were still being crushed.
Seeing Ming Long Tianfeng still arguing with Long Chen, they immediately became anxious. At a time like this, they still had the mood for a war of words.
Fortunately, Minglong Tianfeng's status was extremely high, or he would have cursed out loud long ago.
Only then did Minglong Tianfeng notice that even though the Gate of the Underworld was opened, the Minglong clan was too few to counterattack. He swung his Dragon Spear, and suddenly the twelve wings fluttering behind him suddenly stopped, followed by the demonic eye on one wing.
"Rumble rumble...
The moment that eye opened, black thunder and flames enveloped the Dark Dragon Heavenly Peak. His aura surged tenfold in an instant, and that aura was almost on par with a Dragon Emperor.
"What?"
At that moment, the expressions of the Dragon Domain experts changed. At that moment, the aura of the imperial Dao appeared on Minglong Tianfeng.
"Die!"
Minglong Tianfeng shouted angrily, stepping forward, carrying boundless nether energy as he charged toward Long Chen. The terrifying power pressed down on the entire world, threatening to explode.
Facing the full-scale eruption of the Nether Dragon Heavenly Peak, Long Chen took a deep breath and shouted:
"Eight-Star Battle Body—Open!"
