"Are you going to say it or not?" Tianxing roared, his face twisted like a ghost. Long Chen had too many secrets, and even now, the Divine Clan still refused to give up.
However, the only person in the entire Divine Clan capable of making Long Chen speak is Tianxing. If Tianxing fails, others will be of even less help.
Therefore, the Divine Clan ordered Tianxing to make a final stand. If that didn't work, they had to kill Long Chen.
Although Long Chen was imprisoned here and was foolproof, as long as he was alive, they would never feel uneasy.
"Back then, you destroyed my dantian, and I was still able to grow. Do you think I would submit to you?" Long Chen sneered.
"Then I'll cripple you again."
Tianxing was furious. Suddenly, he struck Long Chen's dantian with a palm, producing a loud explosion as Long Chen's dantian trembled.
"Chaos Pearl, someone's attacking you! Kill him quickly!" Long Chen prayed in his heart. He had deliberately provoked Tianxing's intervention, hoping the Chaos Pearl would kill him.
"Boom!"
Long Chen churned inside his dantian. The Chaos Pearl remained motionless, yet a hundred eight thousand stars appeared.
"Oh no,"
Long Chen's expression changed.
"So you have this much starry space?"
Only now did Tianxing notice that a star map had appeared in Long Chen's dantian, with 108,000 stars appearing before him.
"Donghuang Zhong, are you healed yet? I can't hold out any longer." Long Chen roared angrily at the Eastern Wilderness Bell.
"It's almost over, just one last step away." A response came from the Eastern Wilderness Bell, clearly at a critical moment.
Unfortunately, both of them were at the most critical moment. If Donghuang Zhong had come, their efforts would have been ruined.
At this moment, Long Chen faced the toughest decision of his life. His eyes were fixed on Tianxing, who looked at him with a sinister expression:
"No wonder your power seems inexhaustible. It turns out your cultivation path is different from everyone else's.
A full 108,000 stars—it's hard to imagine just how powerful the world power you possess.
Fortunately, I didn't let you grow stronger. Otherwise, even if you hadn't attained the emperor status, once you advanced to emperor, I doubt anyone in the whole world would be able to subdue you.
Unfortunately, this is fate—you are destined to fall into my hands. Whether you were born or today, you cannot escape my grasp.
You have so many stars, crushing them one by one. It sounds fun, let me try it first. A
twisted smile appeared on Tianxing's face, his eyes filled with excitement. Long Chen's eyes, filled with murderous intent, seemed to further stimulate his excited nerves.
Long Chen's fist unconsciously clenched tightly. Counterattack? Or just endure it? If the Eastern Wilderness Bell cannot recover, it cannot deal with the Ling Tian bracelet. The bell once said that the Ling Tian bracelet is the most terrifying existence. If it cannot be dealt with, the Tianwu Continent will still be destroyed.
If he endured it, losing his star would severely affect the power of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, and might even cripple it. Long Chen was instantly caught in a painful decision.
"Boom!"
Just as Long Chen hesitated, Tianxing grinned fiercely, formed hand seals with both hands, and within Long Chen's starry sea, a giant hand appeared, grabbing a star. With a triumphant laugh, Tianxing's star instantly shattered.
The star shattered, causing Long Chen to let out a thunderous roar. It was a shame, an uncontrollable rage rising in Long Chen's heart, and the killing intent in his eyes materialized.
"Hehe, very good. That's what makes it interesting. Before, you didn't say a word and were like a block of wood. It was really boring. Call out a couple more times..." Tianxing grew even more excited seeing Long Chen's angry eyes.
But just as he was feeling proud, a tremendous power suddenly surged from Long Chen's dantian. In that instant, the space and time of this world froze, and Tianxing was shocked to find he couldn't move.
What terrified him most was that all the power of heaven and earth had vanished, the laws of the Heavenly Dao turned into nothingness, and he could no longer sense the power of the Heavenly Dao.
"This ..."
Panic flashed in Tianxing's eyes. He didn't know what had happened. The external force had vanished, and even the star power within him was sealed. Now, he had transformed from a peerless powerhouse into an ant.
"Buzz"—
Mist radiated from Long Chen's dantian, causing the formations trapped around him to collapse into dust, yet no alarm sounded.
Even the shattered formation runes condensed in the air, unable to spread, as if the entire world had come to a standstill. Only at Long Chen's dantian, a vortex was slowly spinning.
"I see. Looks like I should thank you. You helped me unintentionally open the door to the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique."
Long Chen looked at Tian Xing's terrified face, a strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
One hundred eight thousand stars were crushed, and precisely because that one was shattered, a space was freed up, and the stars began to operate on their own.
The old star map was like a chessboard, filled with pieces and fixed in shape.
After removing a piece, a new space was created. The pieces on the board had space to move and began to constantly change shapes.
Long Chen's star map had been dead before, but now it had come alive. The moment the star map came back to life, the hundred eight thousand stars began to come alive. As they kept changing, endless power filled Long Chen's body.
"The number of Great Expansion is fifty, and its use is forty-nine. So that's how it is: when water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes. Nothing is perfect; only then can there be space to operate, and only then can the myriad changes be developed."
In an instant, Long Chen understood countless profound truths. The experiences left by the Great Emperor that he could not comprehend now felt like a sudden enlightenment, and he understood them abruptly.
"Pfft"
Suddenly, Long Chen reached out and tore off one of Tianxing's arms, holding a purple jade pendant in that hand.
When Long Chen saw the jade pendant, his expression changed. Tianxing's expression suddenly twisted into a grimace, and he sneered, "
Heh heh, although I didn't raise an alarm, the soul imprint belonging to me in my Soul-Suppressing Jade has already been erased."
In other words, don't even think about getting out. By the time you find the spatial node, it will take at least several years, and by then, the Tianwu Continent will have long been destroyed.
And when they found the passage was closed, they knew something had happened here—the whole world would be destroyed, and there would be no chance to escape. Hahaha, you still couldn't escape. "
Pfft!"
Long Chen punched Tianxing's dantian, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, his whole body cracked, nearly shattered by Long Chen's punch.
"Oh, sorry, I was planning to cripple your dantian, but I didn't expect to use too much force.
Good thing you didn't die, otherwise it would have been too easy for you. Your technique is excellent—I've memorized it. Next, let's swap roles and show me how tough your bones are! Long Chen invalidated Tianxing with a single punch, the pattern on his arm trembled,Lei Ling'er with long blue hair appeared.
"Lei Ling'er, you know what to do, right?" Long Chen said.
"Don't worry, brother. I won't let him die. I'll make him wish he were dead. The pain he's left with you, I'll repay him double." Lei Ling'er was released, holding a thunder dagger in her hand, stabbing Tianxing's chest with the exact same technique, angle, and position as he had used before.
"Ah..."
Tianxing's whole body trembled, letting out a piercing scream. Hearing Tianxing's scream, a relieved smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth. For some reason, Tianxing's screams sounded so pleasant to his ears, like heavenly music.
"Lei Ling'er, take him with you. Let's go find Donghuang Zhong."
Just as Long Chen finished speaking, the void suddenly trembled, and the Eastern Wilderness Bell appeared before him.
