Originally, everyone held great reverence for Ye Ming, who had attained the Emperor's reign, because the invincible image of the Great Emperor had become deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
In people's hearts, as long as one becomes an emperor, one is invincible, unmatched by anyone.
But Long Chen's loud slap completely overturned their understanding. What kind of Emperor was still a big slap to him.
"Long Chen... Ye
Ming was slapped away by a single blow, unable to maintain his imperial demeanor any longer. His face twisted like a crotch as he roared as he charged at Long Chen.
"Floating Life Bridge!"
With Ye Ming's shout, the world suddenly changed drastically. A white bone bridge appeared between heaven and earth. Long Chen and Ye Ming rapidly shrank and appeared on the bridge.
As soon as the White Bone Bridge appeared, every bone emitted a piercing howl, chilling and soul-shattering. It was a kind of sonic attack capable of shattering one's soul.
Even those outside the Divine Bridge felt a tsunami of sound waves piercing their souls, like vengeful spirits demanding death, stirring the most primal fears in their hearts.
"Buzz!"
Ye Ming gripped his sword with both hands, slashing down with violent force. His physical attack combined with sound attack was a decisive strike.
"So childish, trying to win my heart games?" I, Long Chen, have never known what fear is all my life. Long
Chen sneered, letting the myriad ghosts wail and the sea of souls churn. Yet he remained unmoved, and the Dragon Bone Evil Moon slashed down with all his might.
"Ninth Form of Heaven Creation!"
"Boom!"
A massive blade shadow shot up into the sky. In that instant, the Floating Life Bridge shattered—a phenomenon, not a physical entity.
"Bang!"
The two exchanged another blow. At their level, they no longer needed flashy moves—just the simplest, most direct clash, using strength to crush each other.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen and Ye Ming simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, unleashing their full power, and the two were evenly matched.
"I'll kill you."
Long Chen snorted coldly. After a series of fierce fights, he basically figured out Ye Ming's true intentions.
What he guessed was correct. The so-called Great Emperor's power is to transcend the myriad Dao and form a force not belonging to this world, used to suppress the myriad Dao itself.
This is also why emperors can only be suppressed by the Great Emperor—because one is inside the cage, the other is outside.
With Long Chen awakening the Star Map and gaining his own star power, this power also does not belong to the Tianwu Continent. This is essentially an alternative form of emperor proclamation.
Although his cultivation was only at the Ninth Heaven, his strength was no less than Ye Ming, who had already attained Emperor status. With this, Long Chen was confident he could take Ye Ming.
"Thud, dum, dum, dummy."
Long Chen stepped into the void, taking three consecutive steps, his figure shifting left and right, drifting unpredictably as if flickering three times in a row, and from an extremely strange position, he slashed his blade toward Ye Ming.
"Buzz!"
Ye Ming swung his hand and slashed down with his sword, but the sword slashed empty air—it was actually a phantom.
"Death!"
Suddenly, a figure charged forward, slashing down with a blade. Ye Ming was shocked, twisted his body, and forcibly withdrew his sword to block it.
"Clang"
A loud explosion blocked the attack at the critical moment, but Ye Ming's expression changed instantly because the strike was too weak.
At that moment, a large hand silently pressed onto Ye Ming's back, and on that palm, a lotus pattern was spinning.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen struck Ye Ming's body with a palm and carved a huge hole. Ye Ming was sent flying by Long Chen's palm, imperial blood spilling out, causing myriad paths to roar.
That was the blood of an emperor, embodying the highest laws of a world. Once spilled, it could change the color of the heavens.
"What so-called Great Emperor? You're worlds apart from all the other Great Emperors. Today, I'll execute you, this treacherous fraud." Long Chen sneered, waved his large hand, and the Dragon Bone Evil Moon flew into his grasp, retracting a bolt of lightning.
The previous strike was Lei Ling'er, wielding the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, impersonating Long Chen for a sneak attack, while Long Chen's true body delivered a deadly blow, severely wounding him.
Ye Ming, apart from mastering the power of the Great Emperor and cloaked in a veil of mystery, now that the veil of mystery was lifted, he was still the same Ye Ming, with moves, reactions, and routines basically the same as before.
For such a person to attain the title of Emperor is a form of desecration toward the Five Emperors. The reason these five Great Emperors are called Great Emperors is that each of them created their own unique cultivation methods, taking unconventional paths and taking alternative paths to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
Compared to them, Ye Ming was nothing but trash—wearing wolf skin and a sheep inside. This only made Long Chen furious.
The five Great Emperors held a lofty status in Long Chen's heart. In his lifetime, he had never submitted to anyone in cultivation, but he genuinely respected them from the bottom of his heart.
"Long Chen, I'll kill you."
Ye Ming roared, flames burning above the large hole in his chest, but he remained fearless, black energy swirling throughout his body as he charged toward Long Chen.
"Clang"
Long Chen blocked Ye Ming's blade with his Dragon Bone Evil Moon, then slapped Ye Ming hard across the face, making Ye Ming cough up blood from his nose.
"Who do you think you are, daring to call yourself an emperor? Damn it, using weapons, it's all just me bullying you. "
Long Chen grew angrier as he spoke. He actually put away the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, swung his fists at Ye Ming, and Ye Ming slashed with his sword. Long Chen's punch struck the Heavenly Evil Sword, blood splattered from his fist, leaving a large gash in the slash. However, Long Chen blocked the sword strike.
"Whoosh!"
Blocking the sword, Ye Ming's central door swung wide open, and Long Chen kicked him into his crotch. Ye Ming let out a miserable scream, his body involuntarily curling into a shrimp.
As he bowed, his long hair flew forward. Mo Nian, Guo Ran, Gu Yang, and others familiar with Long Chen sighed inwardly: It's over.
Just as they expected, he grabbed his hair, pressed it down, and thrust his stiff knee against Ye Ming's nose bridge like lightning. The movements were graceful and graceful, flowing like clouds and water, full of beauty. What followed was the jaw-aching sound of bones splitting and Long Chen's scolding.
"Bang!"
"I'll let you become emperor!"
"Bang!"
"Let you become emperor."
"Bang!"
"You can prove it!"
Each collision shook the void with a roar. The immense power made even space crack with a piercing sound. Long Chen's strength was terrifying.
Ye Ming roared wildly, his hand extendedThe sword slashed wildly, stabbing and stabbing Long Chen, blood splattering everywhere. Long Chen's scales couldn't withstand his emperor's power.
However, he was now hacking and stabbing recklessly, suffering repeated serious injuries. In his rage and shock, his hands were weak, and he could only inflict some superficial wounds on Long Chen.
With the chaotic space in Long Chen's domain, endless vitality meant repairing these superficial injuries was nothing.
"Little brat, did I give you face?" Still proving the emperor? Keep pretending... I told you to pretend ... You're pretending... "Show ..."
Every word Long Chen spoke was a fierce lap strike, each time blood splattered and imperial blood splattered, causing the heavens and earth to roar.
Mo Nian and the others were stunned. Was this really an emperor? Is there ever an emperor in this world who gets grabbed and beaten up?
They couldn't believe their own eyes, but with imperial blood flying and the heavenly Dao roaring, it was indeed a great emperor, not an imposter.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Long Chen's heart tightened, a sense of danger flooding his heart. Instinctively, he grabbed Ye Ming's hair and swung it behind him like a hammer.
