Long Chen narrowed his eyes and saw Galo charging toward him. He snorted coldly:
"A disciple of the Great Brahma Heaven?" Let me see what you're capable of. Long
Chen had just exchanged a blade with Liao Bencang when suddenly Long Chen opened his large hand, and a thunderball appeared in his palm. At that moment, Lei Ling'er, who had been fiercely fighting, vanished in an instant.
"World-Destroying Lightning"
"Boom!"
Long Chen forced Liao Bencang back with a single strike, then smashed a thunderball onto Liao Bencang. Liao Bencang's Dharma Body was shattered in one blow, and the massive thunder wave even pierced through the void.
"Whoosh!"
The vanished Lei Ling'er reappeared, wielding a thunder longsword, slashing at Liao Bencang. A Dharma Body vanished, leaving Liao Bencang both shocked and furious. He didn't understand what was happening.
From Long Chen channeling the power of thunder, to Lei Ling'er disappearing, to the Dharma Body being killed, and then Lei Ling'er reappearing, it all happened in the blink of an eye. He had lived countless years but had never seen such a technique.
What he didn't know was that Lei Ling'er was not his pet, but a companion he could entrust his life to. Because their minds were connected, they could work together seamlessly, and with a single strike, they killed his Dharma Body.
The world-destroying lightning erupted, and Lei Ling'er's aura dropped a bit, but she still retained eighty percent of her combat power. With her long sword swung and lightning flying, she could still hold her own against Liao Bencang.
After wiping out an opponent, Long Chen looked at Galo rushing toward him from afar, took a deep breath, and let his long blade roar with a thunderous roar. The tip pointed toward the sky, and he slashed forward with a fierce strike.
The "First Opening Heaven Form"
blade shadow slashed down. What no one expected at the time was that the blade went off track, landing right beside Galo. Everyone was stunned—did the cut miss?
"Die!"
The phenomenon behind Galuo trembled, and in an instant, the silver longsword in his hand absorbed it. The sword revived like an ancient ferocious beast, its brilliant sword light flashing like the sun, illuminating the sky.
"I originally saved this move for Bai Zhantang. Use it to kill you, and you can die in peace, Star-Shattering Slash." Galo's eyes were icy cold. He wanted to vent all his anger on Long Chen, using all his strength for this sword strike.
Long Chen's slash deflected, and the blade was raised again. The moment the blade was raised, the power attached to that strike was actually withdrawn.
The moment the long blade pointed to the sky again, the wind and clouds changed color, and the endless power of heaven and earth frantically converged toward Long Chen, absorbed into this strike.
All the power of the 108,000 stars within Long Chen was channeled into his eighteen acupoints. At that moment, a sharp pain surged through his acupoints. He combined the power of the first strike, then unleashed a second strike, simultaneously absorbing the power of heaven and earth for his own use. The force of this strike had already placed a tremendous burden on his body, indicating that this strike was approaching his limit.
In the past, no matter how hard Long Chen tried, he couldn't achieve such an effect, because the power heaven and earth could lend him was too little.
But this time was different. He had gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao from the Tiandu Star Domain, and here, he was also acknowledged. The power of the Heavenly Dao he could absorb far greater than before.
Feeling the pain inside the acupoints only made Long Chen even more excited. In other words, as long as his body could endure, he could borrow more of the power of heaven and earth.
"Second Form of Heaven-Opening!"
Long Chen roared in fury, all his power merged into this strike without holding back. The first and second forms overlapped, forming one blade. The will to open the heavens contained in this strike changed the color of heaven and earth, causing the gods to tremble.
This strike possessed supreme divine power, as if it were the heavenly blade that could cut through all the constraints of the world, unmatched by anyone.
Each blade and sword carried boundless divine power, colliding in a world-shaking clash. The collision of two divine lights refracted four beams, forming a "ten" beam that shot out in all directions.
"Rumble rumble rumble...
Four divine lights sliced through the earth and pierced the void. Centered around the two of them, four large caves appeared in four directions. Endless fragments of space swirled, and the black holes resembled the mouths of four demons, madly devouring everything in the world.
The experts inside the academy were thrown into chaos. Long Chen and Jialuo's strike unleashed four beams of divine light. One of the rays flew close to the academy. Although it was only a borderline, the immense force still pierced through the already shaky formation, shattering it instantly.
Behind the academy, a black hole burst through space, wildly devouring everything. Countless disciples were sucked into the air, unable to help but fly. If they were swallowed by the black hole, they would be crushed by the spatial blade in an instant.
Bai Xiaole and his mother were shocked. Without rushing to help Long Chen, they hurriedly used spatial techniques to pull everyone back.
However, under the black hole's frenzied pulling, the academy's buildings collapsed one after another. The once-glorious Lingxiao Academy collapsed in an instant.
As the black hole repaired itself and its pulling force gradually faded, everything slowly returned to calm.
"Brother Long Chen...
Huo Ling'er cried out in surprise. She had originally controlled the Nine Nether Rakshasa, and just now, through soul refinement, she had seen part of the scene. But when Enpuda attacked, Huo Ling'er's body was pierced by his dagger, and then a strange power was poured into her. In that instant, she seemed to lose all her strength. In an instant, the Nine Nether Rakshasa fell into Empuda's hands.
Long Chen had just engaged in a fierce blow with Galo, and terrifying cracks appeared on his body, as if his flesh was about to explode.
Meanwhile, Galo spat out blood, shredded internal organs spurting out. A crack split open between his brows, blood gushed out, and his head seemed about to explode.
"A disciple of the Great Brahma Heaven is nothing special. Die!"
Long Chen roared angrily, dragging his Minghong Blade toward Galo. The two strikes combined nearly exhausted all of Long Chen's strength, but he remained fearless. He knew Galo was not much stronger than him. In a battle between masters, advance without retreat—whoever retreats first has a higher chance of death.
Seeing Long Chen charging forward fearlessly, Galo's heart raced wildly. He clearly believed he had the ability to finish him off in one blow, yet he felt a sense of terror and terror.
He felt a bit afraid. Long Chen was like a bottomless pit—no one knew how many trump cards he still had. Clearly, it was his own trump card that was stronger, yet there was a vague sense of unease.
"Whew."
Enpuda saved the Nine Nether Rakshasa, runes swirling in his hand. The Nine Nether Rakshasa's body vanished, and no one knew where he had sent it.
After sending off the Nine Nether Rakshasa, Enpuda shouted loudly, "Just one step away. Once we dig up the foundation stone, the task is complete." Upon
hearing this, Galo was greatly invigorated. The academy's grand formation was destroyed, and killing or not was no longer important. As long as he dug up the foundation stone and channeled the energy of the underworld into it, the Seventh Academy would be completely drained.
"Hahaha, leave this to me."
Jialuo suddenly laughed loudly toward the sky. He spread his arms, and a golden scale armor appeared on his body. Runes swirled on the scales, radiating a terrifying pressure. As soon as that pressure appeared, Bai Zhantang and the others' faces changed dramatically:
"Divine Lord aura?"
"Hahaha, this is the treasured armor bestowed upon me by Master. With the blessing of the Divine Venerable, even the top Realm Kings cannot harm me. Just watch as I destroy your academy." Galo laughed heartily and dashed recklessly toward the academy.
Boom boom!
The five Underworld Realm King powerhouses were the first to charge at Galo. They failed to stop Empuda, feeling they had lost face and wanted to save some face. But before they could get close, the divine light on his body sent them flying, blood spraying wildly one after another.
For a moment, everyone was in despair. This was an invincible armor that no one could get close to. Was the academy really going to be destroyed like this?
"Pfft"
Just as Galo was grinning viciously toward the academy's core, suddenly a dagger struck, ignoring his protective divine light, piercing through his back and piercing through his chest.
"What?"
Empuda and Liao Benchang were shocked; they couldn't believe their eyes.
