The strong warriors of Tianyu City split into two groups, old and young. The older generation, led by Chu He, charged directly at the Golden Lion clan.
Meanwhile, the younger generation of strong warriors, led by Long Chen, headed straight for the Stone Spirit clan's lair. Upon arrival, Long Chen swept his divine sense and found that to attack Tianyu City, nearly all the Stone Spirit clan experts had come out, leaving behind only a group of old, weak, and disabled soldiers.
Under the leadership of Li Yunhua and others, these young disciples became like wolves and tigers, slaughtering wildly. For so many years, they had been oppressed by the Stone Spirit Clan and the Golden Lion Clan. Almost every ancestor had died at their hands.
Now, the moment of revenge had arrived. Each of them went mad, slaughtering the entire Stone Spirit clan for a full hour.
However, when they arrived at the core of the Stone Spirit Clan, Long Chen discovered a teleportation array. Upon inspection, Long Chen realized it was a one-way teleportation array.
Long Chen immediately understood. Jiang Yiming's ambition was immense. He had used the power of the Stone Spirit clan to build a teleportation array, hoping to pass through the monsters' blockade and enter the legendary Tianyuan World through it.
However, this teleportation array was a half-finished product. Although Long Chen didn't understand formations well, he could tell it was an ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
After watching for a long time, Long Chen couldn't help but shake his head. He guessed that Jiang Yiming had used this teleportation array to fool the Stone Spirit clan. This was a single-person ultra-long-distance teleportation array, not a collective one, so it was impossible to complete the entire clan's migration.
It was likely that Jiang Yiming had painted a huge pie for the Stone Spirit clan, saying he could take the entire clan to the Tianyuan World, which is why he received their full support.
Staring at this half-finished teleportation array, Li Yunhua and the others were stunned. She clearly couldn't understand how there could be a teleportation array here.
"Everyone, the war is over, the crisis is cleared, and Tianyu City will soon enter a relatively peaceful period. As for me, it's time to say goodbye to you." Long Chen stood on the teleportation array and addressed everyone.
"Senior Brother Long Chen... Li Yunhua and the others looked at Long Chen, their eyes filled with reluctance. Long Chen had helped them destroy the Golden Lion Clan and the Stone Spirit Clan, and in their eyes, Long Chen was like a god.
Some even regarded Long Chen as a guardian deity bestowed by heaven. Now, hearing that Long Chen was leaving, many people's eyes reddened.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Don't be so sad. Work your cultivation, leave this desolate world soon, and see the broader sky. Maybe one day, we'll meet again." Long
Chen smiled and waved to them, immediately activating the teleportation array. The array trembled continuously, and the powerful air currents forced Li Yunhua and the others to retreat repeatedly.
"Buzz"—
Suddenly, the teleportation array shone brightly, followed by a muffled sound. The teleportation array shattered into pieces, and Long Chen, standing atop it, had already vanished.
Staring at the empty teleportation array, Li Yunhua and the others remained silent for a long time. Long Chen disappeared, and they felt their hearts empty.
They had just witnessed what a peerless prodigy was, just understood what it meant to be an unparalleled powerhouse. Now, everything had vanished, as if they had been dreaming. How they hoped this dream would never wake, so Long Chen could always be with them.
At this moment, Chu He arrived with the elder generation of strong warriors from Tianyu City. He had cleared out the Golden Lion clan, but Long Chen and the others had not returned. Thinking something had happened, he hurried over.
When Chu He saw the teleportation array, he was speechless for a long time. He didn't need anyone to explain; he knew exactly what had happened.
"The great roc spreads its wings into the sky, sparrows and swallows cling to the eaves. The flood dragon will not remain in the stream forever. Chu
He sighed deeply and said, "Children, you must work hard too. Although the crisis has been resolved for now, the power of Tianyu City is gradually fading. In at most a hundred years, its protective ability will be completely lost."
If we can't break through the monsters' encirclement within a hundred years, Tianyu City will still be destroyed. Long Chen may save us once, but he can't save us forever. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves! Chu
He sighed deeply. Although everyone was reluctant, he gathered everyone and began cleaning up the battlefield, eventually leaving the Stone Spirit clan.
"Rumble rumble... The
void trembled, spatial blades flew horizontally. Long Chen held the Qiankun Cauldron, racing relentlessly through the spatial tunnel. The spatial blades slashed the cauldron and shattered one after another. Long Chen grimaced from the shock, and the spatial blade was almost equivalent to the attack of a Seven Veins Emperor.
Although they couldn't harm the Qiankun Cauldron, the tremendous recoil force made Long Chen nearly spit blood.
"Jiang Yiming, are you an idiot? I trust you so much—what kind of teleportation array did you build? Long Chen couldn't help but curse loudly, clutching the Qiankun Cauldron.
The space of this teleportation array was extremely unstable. Others' teleportation arrays had built a stable spatial passage, while here was filled with spatial turbulence. Without the Qiankun Cauldron, Long Chen would have been torn to pieces by these turbulences.
What Long Chen didn't know was that the teleportation array Jiang Yiming had built was meant to be used after he advanced to the Eight-Vein Emperor level. He knew the array was unstable, but there was no other way. To pursue ultra-long distances, stability had to be sacrificed. He wanted to rely on the strength of an Eight-Vein Emperor to withstand these spatial turbulences.
But Long Chen didn't know any of this. As soon as the teleportation began, the spatial blade had already slashed dozens of wounds on his body. Luckily, anyone else wouldn't even have had a chance to react—they might have been wiped out a thousand times over.
Long Chen immediately summoned the Qiankun Cauldron to resist. In fact, he could have broken through the teleportation passage and escaped, but that would require him to fight his way out from the endless demon army, wasting too much time.
"Rumble... Long
Chen gritted his teeth and tightly gripped the Qiankun Cauldron, stubbornly resisting the endless spatial blades to teleport. After an unknown amount of time, a loud explosion shattered the void, the spatial turbulence before him vanished, and the teleportation finally ended.
"Hahaha, it's done!"
Long Chen laughed heartily toward the sky, finally making it through. However, halfway through, he couldn't stop laughing. Only then did he notice that endless monsters surrounded him.
Among these demons, the weakest cultivation was still at the Emperor level, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. They gathered around an altar, where an elder held a bone staff, seemingly performing some kind of ritual. Long Chen's appearance interrupted their ritual, and all the demons' gazes turned to Long Chen.
When Long Chen looked toward the altar, his head buzzed. Leading them was an Earth Demon wearing a white bone crown. The demonic aura here soared sky-high, clearly a Nine Veins Emperor, and the dozen or so demons kneeling and praying around him were also Eight Meridian Emperors.
"That's just too unlucky, isn't it? Of the thirty-six stratagems, retreat is best! Long
Chen cursed inwardly. Taking advantage of the Earth Demons' daze, he bolted to run. But just as Long Chen moved, the Nine Veins Emperor roared, shooting a beam of divine light from his bone staff, shooting straight at Long Chen.
