Is this really the confidence of an emperor? Even if Long Aotian activates the Supreme Vision, does he still have the confidence to kill it?
You have to understand, whether it's Emperor Hanwei or the other four emperors, none are truly flesh-and-blood. Even if their cultivation is on par with Long Chen and the others, their real combat power is definitely not as strong as when they were alive.
But even so, is he still confident he can kill Long Aotian? If it were someone else, people might have doubted it, but since these words came from the Great Emperor, no one dared to doubt her.
"Thank you, sister. This person and I have a deep grudge, and this grudge needs me to avenge it personally." Long Chen cupped his fists to Emperor Hanwei, thanking her for revealing Long Aotian's trump card; otherwise, he wouldn't even know his true origins by now.
"Sister reminds you, you've gathered so many people to help you cross the tribulation, but it's actually not very useful.
Because of your karma, we appeared in the heavenly tribulation, guarding your final checkpoint to prevent you from successfully crossing the tribulation.
The Heavenly Dao is merciless, vowing to kill you and not allowing you to survive. You brought some people in, but the Heavenly Dao also began to grow stronger.
And at the final moment of the tribulation, there's no way we can hold back. The only thing we can do is show my moves in advance so you have more preparation." Emperor Hanwei looked at Long Chen with concern.
Emperor Hanwei's concern for Long Chen deeply moved him, but he still shook his head and said,
"Thank you for your concern, sister. Some things must be resolved by me personally. Don't worry, sister, I won't die. I will definitely get through the heavenly tribulation safely."
Long Chen knew that Emperor Hanwei had sincere intentions; she was the only one among the five emperors with the most emotional nature.
Great Emperors stand tall at the pinnacle of martial arts; they have seen through all things in the world and weathered countless vicissitudes, reaching a level where no sudden change can cause a stir.
But only Emperor Hanwei truly cared about her. If Yun Shang, Qingxu, Mo Li, and Emperor Ziyang had already emerged, Emperor Hanwei was still stuck at the stage of entering the world, unable to let go of her worries.
Because of this, Long Chen could feel her genuine emotions and flesh-and-blood affection even more. Among the five emperors, Emperor Hanwei felt the most intimate and genuine to Long Chen.
Emperor Hanwei was sincerely trying to give Long Chen some strength, giving him enough strength to handle the upcoming tribulation, which would increase his chances of success.
Long Chen believed that the other four emperors were also sincere toward him, but none of them showed any reaction. This didn't mean they didn't care about Long Chen; rather, they trusted him more.
But Emperor Hanwei acted this way because she cared too much. Perhaps this is the difference between men and women—women's emotions are more delicate and cautious.
Long Chen also knew this was not the best time to deal with Long Aotian, but deep in his soul, pride prevented him from using others' power to deal with enemies.
Especially since Long Aotian carried his spiritual root, spiritual blood, and spiritual bones. This battle had to be fought personally; he could not back down.
Emperor Hanwei saw Long Chen's firm answer, nodded, said nothing more, and instead gave him an encouraging look.
"What a ridiculous joke. A dead man dares to claim to have my Long Aotian executed?
Just a useless person whose spiritual root, spirit blood, and spiritual bone were taken away. Are all you five blind? He actually chose him as the future Emperor?
Fine, since you are blind, today I will personally seize the Pearl of Fate and show the whole world who is the true Lord of Destiny this generation. Long Aotian looked at Long Chen and Emperor Hanwei, his eyes full of mockery.
Yet, amidst the mockery, his eyes were filled with endless jealousy. What merit or ability did Long Chen have to earn the approval of the Five Emperors?
"Long Aotian, you're shameless. You and your family are all equally despicable and shameless.
Your parents used despicable means to steal my boss's spiritual blood, roots, and bones. You are nothing but livestock.
And now you still dare to speak arrogantly. If my boss's spirit blood, roots, and bones were still here, could you possibly withstand a single finger of mine? Guo Ran cursed angrily, his voice hoarse.
Long Chen had always been the person he respected most and admired most. He admired Long Chen's talent and wisdom deeply.
What he didn't know was that Long Chen had his spiritual blood, spiritual roots, and spiritual bones stolen from his infant days. His achievements today had nothing to do with his talent.
Now that Long Chen's true identity had been revealed, the Dragon Blood warriors were furious, gritting their teeth in anger. They wished they could charge into the heavenly tribulation and tear Long Aotian to pieces, even if it meant being destroyed by the tribulation.
The Dragonblood warriors had never hated anyone so much, but Long Aotian and his family were an exception—they were truly hated.
Just thinking about Long Chen's tragic background and that miserable childhood made their hearts feel as if they were being stabbed hard by a knife.
Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, Dongming Yu, and the other women all covered their cherry lips with their jade-like hands, tears streaming down their faces.
In their eyes, Long Chen was like a pillar supporting the sky, but who knew how much hardship and helplessness were hidden behind his strength.
Long Chen is strong. He has borne all these tragic memories by himself, never confiding in anyone. He silently bears all the burdens, carrying them all the way, never complaining.
"That bastard, why didn't he tell us?" Tang Wan'er choked up, her pretty face full of heartache. All she ever saw was Long Chen laughing and joking, never imagining Long Chen silently bearing so much pain.
"He just wants to show us his best side, to put our mind at ease, and to give everything he can to make us happy.
And the pain in his heart could only be quietly licked when no one was around. He was the best man in the world. Meng Qi sighed softly. Because she had seen that scene, she vaguely knew a bit about Long Chen's background, but since Long Chen wouldn't let her tell anyone, she had no choice but to keep it a secret for him.
Now, seeing Long Aotian shamelessly provoking Long Chen, they were all furious. Dongming Yu's body trembled even more, wishing she could rush into the heavenly tribulation and assassinate Long Aotian right now.
Ye Zhiqiu seemed to have known what she was about to do, holding her hand tightly. Although Ye Zhiqiu was usually quiet and her expression was cold and indifferent, her tears rolled down like broken pearls, falling to the ground and turning into sparkling ice beads that finally burst apart.
Facing Guo Ran's scolding and countless angry glares from powerful figures, Long Aotian laughed up at the sky: "Hahaha, the heavenly way is merciless, the strong rule. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak."
If there were no plundering and killing, would this still be the cultivation world? If the world could explain reason, would there still be war?
In this world, there is no absolute right or wrong. If you don't understand these things, you ants can only live as ants for life. Long
Aotian's wild laughter echoed through the heavens and earth. Even the Divine Clan's strong warriors couldn't stand it. Long Aotian was so arrogant, he was already boundless.
However, what he said was not wrong. The laws of the cultivation world are just this cruel and pragmatic. So-called benevolence, morality, fairness, and justice are nothing but a fig leaf, worthless.
People looked at Long Chen, but saw his expression was unusually calm. Faced with Long Aotian's mockery and ridicule, he didn't seem angry.
Long Chen quietly watched Long Aotian, while the Dragon Bone Evil Moon was hoisted on his shoulder and took a deep breath.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, the divine ring behind Long Chen spun rapidly, and a surge of furious will radiated outward.
"Crack, crack, crack...
Suddenly, in an instant, cracks covered the entire sky, then the firmament shattered, revealing endless stars above the firmament.
"It is the Heavenly Wrath phenomenon, the fury shattering the heavens." Bao Buping cried out in surprise, recognizing the phenomenon—it was a manifestation of the Heavenly Wrath state at its peak.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Long Chen moved, like a beam of light, lunging at Long Aotian. With a single slash from midair, everyone's hearts clenched instantly.
