"Xie Yue, Xiao Tian, Ling'er, I'm counting on you. Today, I'm going to slay this foolish lion."
Long Chen had been used as a pushover twice. In a state of heavenly wrath, he was easily provoked. Now that the Nine-Headed Lion had attacked again, clearly unable to defeat Emperor Hanwei, how could he bear to take it out on him?
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from Long Chen's body. One hundred and eight thousand stars trembled, and endless laws of heaven and earth were absorbed by the divine ring, surging into Long Chen's body.
At that moment, the power of heaven and earth had no choice but to yield to Long Chen, serving him without daring to resist at all. A divine ring swirled behind Long Chen, and with a single strike, he slashed toward the nine-headed lion.
"Boom!"
Long Chen struck the chain-covered fist of the nine-headed lion with a loud explosion, shattering all the chains on his fist.
"What?"
The nine-headed lion was shocked. The realm gate had already opened, and his domain chains had been empowered by the power of the domain, controlling the power of a world. Yet Long Chen had actually shattered them with a single strike.
"You shameless ..."
"Smack!"
Long Chen shattered the chains with his blade, and with his other hand, slapped the nine-headed lion's face. With a cracking sound mixed with bones, half of the lion's face was smashed, his flesh and blood mangled as he was sent flying.
He got slapped again, and every time Long Chen hit him, it was almost exactly the same. But the nine-headed lion just couldn't dodge—every time he got hit, it was like a brick pot.
"Who the hell do you think is a pushover?"
Long Chen roared like thunder, shattering the sky. His long hair flew and his black robe fluttered like an enraged god. Streading through the void, he instantly caught up to the nine-headed lion. The Dragon Bone Evil Moon shimmered with countless black light and shadows.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen slashed out eighty-one blades in one breath, killing the nine lions with furious roars. The chains on his body kept shattering, forcing him to retreat in disgrace. With the final strike, he sliced through his sharp claws, carving a large gash in his chest.
"This is impossible. What kind of power is this?" The nine-headed lion was killed with rage, its eyes filled with shock and rage.
Long Chen is not an Emperor, but why can he wield the power of a domain? You have to understand, in a world, only one person can wield this power.
The reason he didn't dare provoke Emperor Hanwei was because her attacks contained the power of the domain, which represented the laws of a world.
Because he was on the Tianwu Continent, the power of his own world would consume a great deal of energy here, and the power he could convert into was limited.
All five Great Emperors possessed domain power, but Long Chen had not yet attained emperorhood, so he should never have domain power. Yet he happened to possess it; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sever his domain divine chain.
What he didn't know was that Long Chen had never gained recognition from the Tianwu Continent. The reason he possessed the power of the Domain was because, in his state of Heavenly Wrath, even the power of the Domain had to submit, so he had no choice but to give it to him.
Although the domain power suppressed this way wasn't particularly strong, it could counteract the external domain power. Combined with Long Chen's own strength, the two merged, which was why the Nine-Headed Lion was left in such a sorry state.
"Smack!"
Just as the nine-headed lion finished roaring, Long Chen slashed at his neck from the right side. The lion instinctively dodged, but Long Chen's other hand was already waiting for him—a hard slap landed on his face.
This slap was different from the previous ones; this move was even more exquisite, as if Long Chen had casually waved his hand, causing the nine-headed lion to bump its face into Long Chen's hand.
"Pfft!"
The nine-headed lion spat out a mouthful of blood, his head buzzing, stunned by Long Chen's slap. At this moment, the distance between them was immense. Suddenly, the nine-headed lion lunged forward with its sharp claws and grabbed Long Chen's shoulders.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, What's going on? Long Chen actually didn't dodge—this doesn't match common combat logic. With Long Chen's reach, how could he be caught?
"Long Chen's eyes are red. What's going on?" Only then did people realize that Long Chen was different from his usual calm and wise demeanor. His long hair flew and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he were mad.
The nine-headed lion was stunned by Long Chen's strike. After grabbing wildly, it originally intended to force Long Chen back, but unexpectedly, it grabbed Long Chen in one go. Overjoyed, it raised both arms and was about to tear Long Chen apart.
"Pfft!"
Sparks flew across Long Chen's shoulder. The nine-headed lion's claws were so powerful they could tear apart stars, but they didn't tear Long Chen apart—only tearing apart a patch of his scales, blood splattering everywhere.
At that moment, the nine-headed lion was in intense pain. Long Chen had already grabbed the two small heads on his head, and then an overwhelming force pressed down on his head. Then he saw a knee grow larger, instantly blocking his vision.
"Boom!"
Long Chen's knee slammed hard against the nine-headed lion's nose, producing a tooth-aching sound of bones cracking. Blood splattered everywhere, and sticky substance flew out—what seemed to be snot.
"Who's the soft target?"
"Boom!"
"Who's the soft target?"
"Boom!"
"Who's the soft target?"
"Boom!"
Long Chen roared angrily, delivering a fierce knee strike. Each time it struck, people could see blood spurt from the nine-headed lion's nose, mouth, and ears, along with his other eight small heads.
Long Chen gritted his teeth, his ferocious appearance sending chills down everyone's spine. Even though the nine-headed lion was the enemy, people felt immense sympathy for him, knowing he was suffering unimaginable pain at this moment.
The nine-headed lion's head was grabbed. He roared wildly, swinging his sharp claws. Long Chen's chest was slashed with countless wounds, but Long Chen seemed to feel no pain, frantically pounding his knees, each strike harder than the last.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the nine-headed lion's whole body glowed, blood energy surged all over, and its body rapidly grew larger. Long Chen could no longer hold onto its head and was sent flying.
Endless golden light burst forth in the void, like the blazing sun descending from the heavens, making it impossible to open one's eyes. Only a gigantic golden nine-headed lion appeared above the void.
The nine-headed lion was forced by Long Chen to reveal its true form. Only in this way could it escape Long Chen. As soon as his true form appeared, his whole body trembled, and a divine pattern appeared on each of his nine massive heads.
"Buzz"—
the mouths of the nine heads instantly opened, and beams of divine light emerged from the lions' mouths. These were massive spheres of light, each containing a world-destroying divine power.
"Pfft!"
Just as the Nine-Headed Lion was preparing his terrifying ultimate move, suddenly Long Chen's Dragonbone Evil Moon, like a bolt of black lightning, sliced down into the void, severing one of the Nine-Headed Lion's heads.
"Buzz"—
just as Long Chen severed the head, suddenlyThe nine-headed lion's whole body rapidly expanded, and his aura suddenly spiraled out of control.
"Not good, he's going to self-destruct." The Dragon Bone Xie Yue was greatly alarmed.
