"Is it time?" Long Chen looked at the five Great Emperors, seemingly understanding something.
Emperor Yunshang nodded and said, "It happened much earlier than I expected, and the scene I saw with the Eye of Destiny back then did not appear."
Everything has changed, becoming uncontrollable. My Eye of Destiny looks at your past as a mist, and as I look toward your future, it is chaos.
There's not much left we can do for you. We have revived through your heavenly tribulation and briefly reunited, completing our mission. From now on, everything depends on you. "
To protect my closest kin, I, Long Chen, am willing to fight to the last drop of blood." Long Chen patted his chest and said.
He understood what Emperor Yunshang meant—he wanted to entrust the fate of the Tianwu Continent to him. But Long Chen was unwilling to shoulder such a heavy burden. He only cared about those willing to fight alongside him; as for those who didn't trust him or even opposed him, he ignored them.
He was not an emperor; he had no heart of universal love, nor the kindness to repay grievances with virtue. He was only responsible for those who trusted him; others had nothing to do with him or not.
Emperor Yunshang seemed to catch the meaning behind Long Chen's words, but made no reaction. His white robes fluttered, his long hair billowing like a white-robed divine king descending from the ninth heaven, exuding a noble and composed presence.
"Time's up, we're about to make our move. Are you ready?" Emperor Yunshang said.
Before Long Chen could speak, Dragon Bone Evil Moon was already roaring: "Yun Shang, you bastard, come on, today I'll chop you down." "
The Dragon Bone Evil Moon had always held a grudge against Yun Shang. That defeat back then was too humiliating, a single carelessness that ruined its entire life. Now, facing Yun Shang again, it was furious and directly stood up for Long Chen.
Emperor Yunshang laughed: "I'm afraid I can't cooperate with you anymore, because I'm already dead and can't fulfill your wish."
But do you really hate me that much? If it weren't for me, you'd probably still be lonely forever. "
Shut up! You bastard, so much nonsense. Come on, today Long Chen and I will defeat you—no, we'll defeat five of you. Come on, let's go together! Today, I'm going to slay the Five Emperors." Dragonbone Xie Yue roared.
"Hey, hey, stop bragging, okay? If you get beaten like a dog later, where will you put your face?" Long Chen shouted angrily via voice transmission.
Dragonbone Evil Moon was way too arrogant, so arrogant that Long Chen felt his scalp tingle. He didn't know where Dragonbone Evil Moon got his confidence—Long Chen almost sent Dragonbone Evil Moon to deal with Emperor Yunshang on his own.
"Coward, what's there to be afraid of? They're on the same level as you, and you can't even beat them. How can you go to the last realm to find your parents?" Dragonbone Xie Yue said angrily, his voice tinged with disdain.
"Alright, maybe you're right." Long Chen nodded and took a deep breath. The Five Emperors represented the pinnacle of martial arts across five eras; only by defeating them could one truly stand among the pinnacles of martial arts.
At the same time, Long Chen recalled the mysterious person who had taken him to the Eastern Wilderness and entrusted him to Long Tianxiao, warning him: Don't stand at the pinnacle of martial arts, don't seek out your biological parents.
That mysterious person, in order to protect Long Chen, performed a Dao transformation, severing all karmic ties so that no one could fathom it, and completely protected him.
Now, recalling his advice, he finally understood that perhaps only those who attained Emperor status were qualified to go to the Upper Realm to find their parents. Now, after the Dragon Bone Evil Moon's reminder, he finally understood what reaching the peak of martial arts meant.
Now that he only knows his parents, it seems the road to finding them will still be full of obstacles and thorns. Perhaps, as Dragon Bone Xie Yue said, he can't defeat the Great Emperor. How can he find his parents?
Thinking of this, Long Chen straightened his back, his black robe fluttering without wind. A fierce aura surged, his divine ring trembled behind him, six stars flickered, and boundless power soared into the sky—a pillar of light shot upward.
"Wow, even at a time like this, he's still at his peak. Is Long Chen a monster?" Someone exclaimed in surprise. Long Chen's aura was still at its peak, even more violent than during the previous battle. His power seemed endless.
Among the Divine Clan experts, Long Aotian, who had just lost his father, trembled with a strange phenomenon behind him. After such a long recovery, seven giant dragons had already revived from his vision, which was truly astonishing.
Give him another half hour, and his phenomenon will fully recover and return to its peak. This is the terrifying aspect of the Nine Dragons Swallowing Heaven Diagram.
It can devour the power of the Heavenly Dao, quickly replenish stamina, possess an immortal body, and possess endless Devouring Heaven power. In theory, this power is inexhaustible.
But that was theoretical; in reality, to fully activate the phenomenon, he needed his spiritual blood, roots, and bones to unite and work together in full coordination.
However, Long Aotian's spirit blood, roots, and bones were not entirely his; there were flaws in his control, which led to some consumption of internal essence.
As a result, when the battle intensity becomes too high and he consumes too much internal essence, it affects the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit. If the fusion effect is poor, the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Diagram becomes unstable. If the diagram is unstable, it cannot absorb enough Heavenly Dao power to replenish itself, resulting in this flaw.
Now, seeing Long Chen maintain a perfect victory after fierce battles against five Great Emperors, Long Aotian was driven mad with jealousy.
He prided himself on being a peerless genius. Although he was with Ye Liangchen, Zhao Ritian, and others, deep down he never took them seriously. He had always endured and never revealed himself.
He had thought this time he could become famous throughout the land, but he was still defeated by Long Chen. Long Chen's spiritual blood, roots, and bones were all taken by him. He was defeated, and suffered a crushing defeat.
Long Chen was like a mirror, magnifying all his filth and filth before everyone. Compared to Long Chen, he was nothing; all his pride was worthless before Long Chen. This blow was too great for him, so great it drove him mad.
Just as Long Aotian was driven mad with jealousy, the Dragon Blood warriors were cheering and shouting wildly, cheering Long Chen on.
"Boss will win!"
"Boss will win!"
"Boss will win!"
As the Dragon Blood Legion cheered, the strong warriors of Tianwu Continent also shouted loudly:
"Long Chen will surely win!"
"Long Chen will surely win!"
"Long Chen will surely win!"
The cheers of hundreds of millions of powerful warriors filled the air. Now, with all the major realm gates open, internal and external troubles looming, and a great battle imminent. Long Chen has now become the only hope of the Tianwu Continent.
Under unprecedented pressure, people were eager to defeat the five great emperors and become the strongest emperor in history. Only then could they lead everyone to conquer unprecedented enemies and overcome unprecedented crises.
Amid endless cheers and encouragement, Long Chen's blood gradually grew hot. Facing the emperors, he felt no fear, only an endless fighting spirit.
"Forgive me."
Long Chen gave Emperor Yunshang a slight bow. Suddenly, the Dragonbone Evil Moon let out a thunderous blade cry, slashing down like a black galaxy falling down. The entire world was sliced open by black light, and with every strike, it was a full-power strike.
