A stretch of dragon scales covered the sky, and vast dragon might surged forth, like an ancient divine dragon awakening. As soon as it appeared, the sky collapsed, myriad paths roared, and the divine dragon's might and the imperial might of the Underworld stood in opposition.
The sacred divine radiance clashed with the black laws of the underworld, forming two different worlds. The pressure of these dragon scales was in no way inferior to the Underworld Emperor's imperial might.
"It's the Imperial Dragon Imperial Scale!"
The powerful beings of
the Dragon Domain exclaimed in shock, their blood boiling. The Imperial Dragon Imperial Scale, dormant for countless years, had awakened at this moment.
But they also found it strange. The Emperor Dragon Imperial Scale had been dormant for countless years, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not awaken it. Yet now, it had appeared.
"Could it be ...?" People looked at Long Chen, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Rumble rumble rumble...
Dragon scales covered the sky, divine radiance shone in myriad paths, standing toe-to-toe with the power of the Nether Emperor. At that moment, all the powerful beings of the Dragon Domain, under the protection of the dragon scales, could no longer feel the threat posed by the Nether Emperor.
Watching the dragon scales gleam and feeling the overwhelming battle intent radiating from them, the experts of the Dragon Domain were both excited and ashamed.
Facing powerful enemies, they not only lost the strength to resist, but also the courage to resist. They felt ashamed before their ancestors.
"Bro, don't get too cocky. Although you are the Emperor of the Underworld and command all races of the Underworld, you must remember, this is not your territory—this is the Dragon Domain. Don't speak too loudly." Long Chen slowly released the hand seal and looked at Minglong Tianfeng calmly.
Minglong Tianfeng looked at the Sky-Shrouding Dragon scale, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "It's just the remnant soul of the Dragon Emperor from the Chaos Era. Do you really think it can protect you?
After the erosion of time, only a trace of its primordial consciousness remains. It has all its energy, but can no longer be unleashed. No one here can wield its power; it poses no threat to me."
The ancestors of the Dragon Clan felt a chill in their hearts. Just as the Nether Emperor had said, although the Imperial Dragon Imperial Scale had appeared, they could not communicate with it or control it.
Long Chen also smiled: "The Emperor of the Underworld is nothing special. I even suspect that your head was chopped apart by the Lord of the Nine Stars back then, and it still hasn't healed.
If I don't have the ability to control it, do you think I'd waste my effort summoning it?"
Although the experts of the Dragon Domain had long suspected that Long Chen had summoned the Imperial Dragon Imperial Scale, hearing Long Chen admit it personally still left them shocked.
"Brothers, the one before you is the Emperor of the Underworld, a giant who survived from the chaotic era.
This guy's eyes are on his butt, completely arrogant. It's time to teach him a lesson." Long Chen waved his hand grandly.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
Ever since the Emperor Dragon Emperor Scale appeared, the Dragon Blood warriors had already understood Long Chen's plan. Long Chen had them conserve their strength and keep themselves at their peak all the time, all for this very moment.
The Destiny Wheel behind the more than seven thousand Dragon Blood Warriors lit up, and dragon shadows appeared—ancient dragon souls, all revealed.
The visions of all the Dragonblood Warriors were stretched open, the dragon roared and echoed each other. The visions of over seven thousand people all connected together, forming the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation.
As soon as the formation was formed, the dragon shadows above their heads shone brightly, and the dragon scales reflected the figures of the Dragon Blood Warriors. Suddenly, divine radiance surged from the Dragon Blood Warriors, and the vast imperial pressure poured down, directly pouring into their bodies.
"Dragonblood Cross Slash"—
At the moment the dragon scale power poured down, the strength of the dragonblood warriors surged toward Guo Ran at the front like a tide. Guo Ran shouted loudly, his armor gleaming, and golden battle blades crossed before him.
"Buzz"
—
A golden 'cross' shot out from the golden battle blade. With this slash, Guo Ran and the others were shaken by the terrifying recoil, rolling away.
In Minglong Tianfeng's eyes, the golden cross shifted from blurry to clear, from small to large, and instantly appeared before him.
At that moment, Minglong Tianfeng's expression changed several times. Finally, he snorted coldly, opened his large hand, and eight vortexes appeared, converging in his palm into a monster totem with eight eyes.
"Boom!"
The
golden 'ten' slashed into Minglong Tianfeng's palm. With a loud explosion, a crack appeared in the void.
"Rumble...
The
rift rapidly expanded, forming a black waterfall. The entire world was torn apart, forcibly split in two.
"Retreat!"
The
world split open, myriad paths collapsed, and the black crack resembled the mouth of a demon, devouring heaven and earth. The violent suction force even terrified even the Dragon Emperor, who instinctively retreated.
"Rumble rumble...
The spatial rift grew larger and larger, its devouring power growing stronger. Everyone desperately retreated, except for one person, standing coldly in front of the rift, staring coldly ahead.
At this moment, above Long Chen's head, an ancient bronze cauldron appeared, with rays of divine light descending, shielding him from the spatial turbulence.
Long Chen, bathed in the divine radiance of the Qiankun Cauldron, carried the massive Dragon Bone Evil Moon, gazing across the black abyss at the Nether Dragon Heavenly Peak opposite.
At this moment, one of the hands on Minglong Tianfeng had already disappeared, but his face showed no expression, calm enough to inspire fear.
Likewise, he was also looking at Long Chen. The two stared at each other from a distance—one was the overlord of the Chaos Era, the other a peerless prodigy of the new era. Neither spoke, just quietly watching each other.
"Wisdom and strength are both important. Even in absolute disadvantage, one can always remain calm, accurately analyze pros and cons, plan calmly, and respond to any change.
You really are not an ordinary Nine Star successor. Let me ask you one last time: are you willing to cooperate with me?" Minglong Tianfeng spoke.
Even now, the Nether Emperor still refuses to give up. He still wants to win over Long Chen and recruit him to his command, showing just how much he values Long Chen.
"You're overthinking it. Since I am the successor of the Nine Stars, we are destined enemies. In the future, it's either you or I live." Long Chen shook his head and said.
Minglong Tianfeng also shook his head and said, "You humans have a saying: there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
The Lord of the Nine Stars has been dead for many years, times have changed, and revenge is meaningless. Why not start now, resist the great upheaval of heaven and earth, and compete for the throne of the Nine Heavens?"
When he heard 'Resist the Great Upheaval of Heaven and Earth Together,' Long Chen's heart stirred. He knew that the Nether Emperor had inadvertently revealed another fragment of a heavenly secret.
However, Long Chen couldn't be bothered to pry into these secrets. He shook his head and said, "In this world, not everything can be traded.
Some things must be defended with life and blood, even if it means shattering one's bones and soul to pieces,I would be willing to do so."
Hearing Long Chen's words, Minglong Tianfeng showed neither anger nor regret; his expression was calm, as if he had long known Long Chen would respond this way.
He nodded and said, "From now on, we are mortal enemies. When dealing with enemies, we will stop at nothing.
Just now, I saw the appearance of two girls on you. They must be from the Nether God lineage, right? I'll start with them!"
When Long Chen heard Minglong Tianfeng's words, his eyes instantly turned cold and sharp like blades. Seeing Long Chen's expression, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Farewell."
"Buzz."
The figure of Minglong Tianfeng flickered, the void exploded, and the person was swallowed by endless darkness, vanishing without a trace.
