The barrier shattered instantly, and the experts still on the inner observation platform felt their scalps tingle. If they hit it, would they survive?
"Buzz"—
chains appeared around the arena, like giant lanterns, blocking the huge ripple. The chains swelled as they shook, but in the end, they managed to stop the ripple.
"The arena has changed its form."
People were amazed to see that the arena was no longer the same as before; it had completely changed, like a lantern locking the arena.
Although the arena blocked the ripples, much of the power still leaked out, and the fierce wind made people's faces ache as if cut by knives.
Still, people endured the intense pain and stared wide-eyed at the arena. On the arena, Long Chen looked down from above, pressing down on Ku Wuya with a single strike.
Corpse energy spread over Ku Wuyai's body, and amid the strange phenomenon behind him, ten thousand demons roared. It seemed as if countless black venomous snakes were writhing all over his body, their power erupting like a volcano.
But no matter how hard he exerted, Long Chen's black broadsword pressed down firmly. Ku Wuyai's face twisted with rage from his full power, but Long Chen's blade seemed to dominate an entire world, and he simply couldn't push it.
"Rumble rumble..."
As Long Chen's long blade pressed down, the entire arena, which had been floating in midair, was slowly lowered by Long Chen's power. The arena finally landed on the island, and upon touching it, the massive island cracked instantly. The island itself could not withstand Long Chen's power.
The island collapsed, shattering into pieces, slowly sinking. Waves surged across the sea, sweeping in all directions. Endless mist filled the air, and fierce winds and rain swept across the heavens.
Long Chen, with his own blade, possessed endless destructive power. Behind him, a divine ring swirled, nebulae trembled, and violent power surged into Long Chen's body—it was simply endless.
This time, in a fit of rage, Long Chen unleashed all his power, igniting 108,000 stars and activating his six-star battle body. In an instant, he possessed power even he dared not imagine.
However, using this power had cost him dearly. His flesh was overloaded, blood seeping through the gaps between his scales, staining his armor red and accompanied by sharp pain, but Long Chen didn't care.
On the contrary, amid the intense pain, there was an indescribable pleasure, as if tormenting oneself in anger, which was also a kind of relief.
The power of the divine fire erupted, continuously damaging his body. Fortunately, Long Chen had already prepared for it. Within the chaotic space, within the Jianmu Divine Tree, boundless vitality was within. Long Chen's flesh and blood were repaired amid destruction, and aside from causing some pain, it had no real impact.
The veins on Long Chen's arm slowly bulged, the strength growing stronger and stronger. Ku Wuya held himself on with all his might, but his bones cracked as if they were about to be crushed.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Long Chen waved his large hand in the void, shattering the void and revealing a dagger, less than an inch away from Long Chen's neck.
"It's Gui Yun!"
People exclaimed, almost completely forgotten, never expecting Gui Yun to appear at this moment.
"Smack!"
Long Chen smashed the void with a palm, his large hand slamming hard onto a massive cheek. With a thunderous explosion, people saw Gui Yun's massive body smashed like a meteor, crashing hard into the chain net and bouncing back.
Only then did people see that Gui Yun's chubby face was embedded with a deep handprint, looking extremely comical and laughable, but no one laughed—only a sense of shock.
Long Chen slapped Gui Yun away. People noticed that Ku Wuya was holding a spiked club with both hands to resist Long Chen's long blade, while Long Chen was only using one hand. In this situation, Ku Wuya was still suppressed, which showed just how obvious the gap in their flesh and blood power was.
The reason Long Chen kept one hand against the enemy while keeping the other hand was probably to deal with the Ghost Meteor's sneak attack.
Long Chen slapped Gui Yun away, and the disciples of Lingxiao Academy immediately shouted loudly to encourage Long Chen, while those who hated Gui Yun also cheered.
Gui Yun's slaughter of the Butterfly Spirit and Die Dance clans sparked public outrage. Almost everyone wished he would die immediately. Long Chen's slap felt as if they had struck it themselves—both satisfying and satisfying.
"One to get my attention, the other to launch a sneak attack—did you plan this together?
I have said before, in the face of absolute power, all underhanded tricks are nonsense.
Do you think that by suppressing Die Wu's soul imprint with a special method, I won't be able to find you?
Actually, I could have slapped you to death just now, but letting you die like this won't ease my hatred. I want you to know what it means to have an eye for an eye. Long Chen's voice was filled with resentment.
He couldn't accept kind-hearted races like Die Ling and Die Wu. Why would anyone be so heartless as to harm them? The moment Die Wu was drained, he felt he was the one being punished. The anger and humiliation drove him mad.
When Ghost Meteor disappeared, Long Chen noticed that the mark left by the Butterfly Spirit had lost its sensing. He then realized that Ghost Meteor had a secret technique that could block the perception of that mark.
However, while Gui Yun could block the perception of the Butterfly Spirit mark, it could not block the perception of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique. Long Chen's slap knocked out half of his teeth, tore open the corner of his mouth, and blood splattered everywhere.
It was the first time people had seen Gui Yun injured, and especially when Long Chen slapped him to that state. Thinking of his vicious method of extracting butterfly spirits' souls, countless people couldn't help but cheer in their hearts.
"Boom!"
Long Chen's long blade trembled. Taking advantage of Long Chen's distraction while attacking Guiyun, Xu Wuya launched a counterattack. A pair of black wings sprouted from his back. When those wings spread wide, Ku Wuya's gaunt body seemed to instantly gain endless vitality, and his muscles became plump.
On the spiked club in Ku Wuya's hand, a ghost-head pattern lit up. Long Chen felt a tidal wave of force rush toward him. His body trembled, and he staggered several steps in the void. With each step back, a large area of the void collapsed.
"Ku Wuya is indeed cunning. He stalled Long Chen, had Gui Yun assassinate Long Chen, hoping to strike back while Long Chen was distracted." Luo Xue said.
"Unfortunately, he underestimated the boss's strength. Even if the boss was distracted, even if Ku Wuya unleashed his full power, he could only force the boss back, but couldn't harm him in the slightest." Qin Feng sneered. When it comes to strength, who can rival Long Chen?
Ku Wuya's plan was sound, but unfortunately, Long Chen's strength far exceeded his expectations. Even when he counterattacked with all his might, he only managed to push Long Chen away, and the tremendous recoil force forced him to retreat repeatedly.
"Long Chen"
At that moment, Gui Yun's furious roar echoed through the world. With a handprint on his face and a ferocious expression, a figure appeared behind him. As soon as that figure appeared, countless elder experts exclaimed:
"Bloodkill Hall Master Enpuda!"
