Long Chen appeared to have fallen into a frenzy; at this moment, his reaction speed and sense of danger would drop dramatically.
Long Aotian's sneak attack was silent and without any warning. Many thought Long Chen was doomed, but unexpectedly, Long Chen seemed prepared and sent Long Aotian flying with a single slap.
In that instant, time seemed to slow down. Long Aotian's face gradually collapsed, his head crushed and deformed by the violent force.
Long Chen was still in a swinging stance, his long hair flying, the headband on his head already broken, the hair covering his face, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Boom!"
Long Aotian's body plummeted rapidly, crashing into the Tianwu Ring Sea, erupting with a deafening explosion. The entire world trembled violently from the impact.
Everyone was shocked. What was going on? Was Long Chen deliberately feigning madness to lure Long Aotian into making a move?
Wait, if it was to lure Long Aotian into acting, why not use a blade? That would mean he could be killed in a single blow.
Long Aotian's mother, Long Qifeng, and the others all looked shocked. Staring at Long Chen still waving in the void, they felt extremely uneasy.
They were all peerless experts, with keen sense of danger. When Long Aotian faced Long Chen, they felt their hearts in jealousy.
The reason they kept provoking Long Chen was because they lacked confidence in victory. Although they knew Long Aotian's strength, that uneasy feeling made them choose to provoke Long Chen and create opportunities for him. Even if the world looked down on them, they couldn't care; they didn't want Long Aotian to take risks.
But now, Long Aotian's sneak attack had failed, and Long Chen sent him flying with a single slap. The unease in their hearts grew even stronger.
"Rumble...
Suddenly, the sea churned as Long Aotian broke through the sea. A giant dragon in the sea flew out carrying Long Aotian, charging straight at Long Chen. The swirling mist and water vapor surged across the sky, covering the sky.
"Long Aotian is actually proficient in water-based divine arts." Nangong Zuiyue was shocked; she was a water attribute cultivator, yet she hadn't noticed.
At this moment, Long Aotian stood atop the water dragon, endless water energy condensing. The violent force shocked even her, and Long Aotian's water power was no less than hers.
You have to know, Nangong Zuiyue has a Water Spirit body, naturally able to control water-element powers, but Long Aotian is not. How did he manage to do it?
Long Aotian's face had returned to its original shape, but blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and murderous intent surged in his eyes. Clearly, he had tried to gain the better and ended up losing the rice, which made him furious.
"Die!"
Long Aotian's Dragon Spear surged fiercely, carrying endless water vapor as he charged forward, his spear piercing through the air.
"Clang"
The Dragon Bone Evil Moon blocked the dragon spear with its blade. Water vapor filled the sky, stirring up boundless waves. The fierce wind surged, blowing Long Chen's long hair backward and revealing his face.
When they saw Long Chen's face, everyone was shocked. His eyes were tightly shut, as if entering a mysterious state. This attack was blocked by instinct.
Long Aotian was furious. With a slash of his spear, it slid off Xie Yue's body, and the spear struck straight at Long Chen's shoulder.
Whoosh!
Long Chen instinctively dodged, but the Dragon Bone Evil Moon pushed forward, dodging the spear's strike, and kicked Long Aotian like lightning.
"Boom!"
Long Aotian raised his leg to block. With a loud explosion, the shockwave burst forth. Long Aotian felt a terrifying force surge, his bones tingling and numb, and he was kicked ten steps away.
"Boom!"
Long Aotian kicked behind him, the void trembling violently. He forced himself to steady himself, but stumbled, nearly falling.
Long Aotian was both shocked and furious. The power of Long Chen's strike was extremely strange. His Heavenly Dao power was actually undefensible, having invaded his flesh and bones—a phenomenon he had never encountered in his life.
"What is that?"
People looked at the divine ring behind Long Chen and suddenly noticed that, at some point, strands of light had actually extended from the ring.
The light whiskers numbered in the billions, stretching all the way to the ends of the world. From within them, people saw strange energy slowly flowing into Long Chen's divine ring.
People had never seen such a scene before, and for a moment, everyone was shocked. The power Long Chen and Long Aotian displayed had already surpassed their understanding.
"Aotian, that's the power of all living things. Long Chen is communicating with all living things, interrupting his state." Long Aotian's mother's expression changed. She saw through Long Chen's background and shouted a warning, her voice tinged with anxiety.
Among the strong beings present, only a very few knew what kind of state Long Chen was in right now, and what that state meant.
The Way of Heaven is no longer the original Heavenly Way; it's like a nation's emperor, deeply loved by the people, supported and worshipped by all.
But now, the Heavenly Dao is like an alien tyrant who has seized the throne, treating all living beings on the Tianwu Continent as slaves and binding them.
The anger deep within the hearts and souls of all living things merged with Long Chen's heavenly wrath. At this moment, Long Chen was communicating with the souls of all living beings. Once Long Chen fully aligned with the power of all living beings, he would possess boundless strength.
The power of the Heavenly Dao and the power of all spirits should have complemented each other, but on the current Tianwu Continent, the two forces are opposed—one must suppress, the other must resist.
Long Aotian represents the power of the Heavenly Dao, while Long Chen represents the power of all spirits. Now, facing Long Aotian and the oppression of the Heavenly Dao, all spirits resonate with Long Chen.
At this moment, Long Chen was rapidly fusing the power of all spirits. Since it was not his, he had to first achieve the fusion before fully mastering it. Otherwise, if the fusion was insufficient, his body would be unable to bear the power and would explode.
Long Chen's current state was forced under the pressure of Long Aotian. He could feel the fury of mountains and rivers, the roar of the sea, and the roar of mineral veins.
They wished they could hand over all their power to Long Chen at once, break the laws of the Heavenly Dao, and restore freedom to this world.
"Trying to fuse the power of all living things and all spirits?" In the next life. Long
Aotian suddenly gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of colorful blood. Instantly, countless rays of light filled the sky, and a fierce, unmatched supreme aura surged.
That was Long Aotian's life-bound essence blood, also the Supreme Blood taken from Long Chen. It was the strongest bloodline in this world. When Supreme Blood appeared, all the powerful felt a wave of awe and a tremble in their hearts.
"That's the boss's blood."
The Dragon Blood warriors gritted their teeth. Long Chen's essence blood had been refined by Long Aotian, and now, seeing that Supreme Blood, they wished they could charge into the heavenly tribulation and perish together with Long Aotian.
"Eternal Dragon Spirit, listen to my command, grant me dragon power, opening the Nine Dragons Devouring the Heavens Diagram."
Long Aotian let out a furious roar, and suddenly a resonant dragon roar echoed across the sky. Behind him, the nine giant dragons from the Nine Dragons Roaring to the Sky Diagram suddenly came to life, and a vast wilderness swept across the sky.
