"Clone?"
Everyone was shocked. The one who had attacked earlier was only Long Chen's flame clone, yet he had fooled everyone—even a battle-hardened powerhouse like Ancestor Kunpeng had been deceived.
Long Chen's fiery clone carried his aura, with the power of the flames attached to his soul power. Without careful inspection, it was impossible to tell them apart.
Especially when everyone was extremely tense, caught in a mix of shock and anger, they never expected Long Chen to use such a low-level technique as a clone.
But it was this childish tactic that fooled everyone. Long Chen kicked Kun Tu flying, clutching his bloodied wings, his eyes full of excitement.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen threw his wings into the chaotic space. In this way, before these two treasures could warm up in Kuntu's hands, they ended up in Long Chen's grasp.
"Long Chen, I curse you to die a miserable death." Kuntu lost his wings, as if his soul had been torn apart, his face twisted like a vengeful ghost, and he roared with all his might.
But without his wings, his vitality was severely weakened, his soul severely damaged. In this state, Long Chen could crush him with a single finger. Filled with rage, he dared not step forward to fight desperately.
"But I hope you live a long life." Long Chen looked at Kuntu, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Whoosh!" Long Chen's
wings trembled behind him, and while everyone was stunned, he charged straight at the Hellfire Barrier ahead.
"Demon's Gate" has powerful warriors roaring.
"Rumble..."
Demonic energy surged to the sky, the earth shattered, and countless giant gates broke through the earth, blocking Long Chen's path.
The massive portal emitted black mist, as if forged from steel, radiating astonishing fluctuations.
On the massive portal was imprinted with the face of a demon, and the entire gate was bound with countless chains, as if something was sealed inside the gate, ready to devour all living beings once released.
The nine gates lined up in a row, blocking Long Chen's path forward. It was the combined effort of more than a dozen Moluo clan experts who wanted to stop Long Chen from breaking the barrier.
"Cloud Dragon Presents Claw!"
Long Chen roared angrily, like a dragon's roar shaking the heavens. With a claw, a dragon shadow behind Long Chen covered the sky, and within the sky-covering figure, a dragon claw reached out.
"Boom boom boom... The
claws pierced through nine demon gates like slicing tofu, their momentum undiminished as they slammed hard against the flame barrier.
The flame barrier roared and exploded, eventually pierced through by the dragon's claw. But to Long Chen's surprise, although the barrier was pierced, the flames did not die out, and the spatial gate only trembled slightly.
Long Chen instantly understood—this flame was immune to physical attacks. He hurriedly said to Huo Ling'er, "
Put away the flames here."
"Buzz"
Huo Ling'er had been frantically absorbing the power of the Blue Flame Greedy Wolf, but Long Chen needed it, so she had to interrupt the absorption and come out to help.
Huo Ling'er transformed into a giant dragon, charging into the flame barrier. Her mouth opened wide, and black hellfire poured into her body like a sea of rivers.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the Kunpeng Ancestor transformed into a sky-covering Kunpeng and lunged at Long Chen, spreading his wings as runes swirled, as if a universe was pressing down.
The Kunpeng Ancestor is the true Earth Venerable of the Three Flowers level. His three flowers circulate energy and connect with each other, capable of swallowing the heavens.
Ancestor Kunpeng was truly furious. How proud was the Kunpeng clan? They have long been enemies of the dragon clan, and for billions of years have been at odds. The Kunpeng clan is the only bird that can stand shoulder to shoulder with a true dragon.
The Kunpeng clan has a dishonorable history. The proud Kunpeng clan slaughtered the dragon clan on a frenzied basis, all to avenge their humiliation.
Back then, Kuntu targeted Long Chen precisely because Long Chen carried a trace of true dragon aura. Although Long Chen was human, this trace of true dragon aura destined them to be mortal enemies.
Unfortunately, Kuntu was disappointing and was repeatedly defeated by Long Chen, a human. If Long Chen were from the True Dragon clan, Ancestor Kunpeng might have accepted this outcome.
But Long Chen was merely a human who had absorbed the true dragon's blood—a declined and weak race—yet he defeated the Kunpeng clan in his physical body. This was a great disgrace for the Kunpeng clan.
Seeing that Kuntu had lost his ability to fight, the Kunpeng Ancestor had no choice but to shamelessly suppress the weak and attack Long Chen.
On one hand, he hated Long Chen; on the other, he hated Kuntu's lack of ambition. Even if he killed Long Chen, it would be dishonorable.
"Fight the young, the old ones. The Kunpeng clan really is not worth showing up. No wonder they knelt and begged for mercy before the True Dragon clan, bowing their heads in submission."
Seeing Ancestor Kunpeng charging in, Long Chen snorted coldly, neither dodging nor dodging. His five fingers hooked like dragon claws as he fiercely struck the void.
Long Chen's blood, qi, bones, spirit, soul, and will were all fused within him. Normally, these powers would blend with each other, but also conflict. But strangely, when Long Chen faced a formidable enemy, the conflict between these forces actually diminished.
It's like a group of people fighting among themselves, suddenly invaded by foreign enemies, immediately putting aside their conflicts and starting to unite against the outside world.
"Boom!"
The Heaven-Shrouding Dragon Claw and the Kunpeng Ancestor's sharp claw collided in the void. The moment the two claws collided, the world instantly lost its original color.
Then, between the two giant claws, a sun rapidly expanded, stretching thousands of miles in an instant, engulfing the entire world.
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the terrifying energy instantly engulfed the entire battlefield.
The howling fierce wind tore through the void, the earth's crust had deformed, and the human city had now turned into a desolate land, riddled with spatial rifts.
Ancestor Kunpeng grunted, overwhelmed by the immense force. Startled, he roared:
"That's impossible? Even if one possessed a trace of true dragon essence blood, it would be absolutely impossible to possess such power.
Even the Dragon King of the True Dragon Clan might not possess such power. Who exactly are you? At
this moment, he began to suspect that Long Chen was not a human at all, but a dragon clan expert impersonating a human.
Just as the Kunpeng Ancestor roared, a figure quietly sneaked up behind him, slashing fiercely at the base of his wings with a long blade.
"Pfft!"
Blood light splattered as the Kunpeng Ancestor roared, and the base of his wings was actually slashed.
Long Chen clashed head-on with Ancestor Kuntu, and his blood surged violently, nearly coughing up blood. But Long Chen knew Ancestor Kunpeng would be in trouble too, so he risked a sneak attack.
"Wow, I didn't even cut it down."
Although Long Chen succeeded in the sneak attack, his blood and energy surged so he couldn't use his full strength. This strike only cut a huge wound, but failed to cut it off.
Kunpeng truly deserves to be a being that can rival the True Dragon clan, completely unguardedNone of them succeeded.
"Despicable bastard, die!"
Ancestor Kunpeng roared, wings shining behind him, about to flick Long Chen away, but Long Chen had already set his sights on his wings. Since the sneak attack had succeeded, he was already prepared.
With his left hand, he grabbed one of Ancestor Kunpeng's wings, while with his right, he raised a handful of dark red dust. The dust fell into Ancestor Kunpeng's wound, causing his whole body to tremble and let out a piercing scream.
