Strange and eerie laws appeared the moment this cold voice rang out. Many experts shuddered when they heard it, as though death energy had seeped into their bones. This death call seemed to have an invisible force that could pull their very souls from their bodies.
“A defeated general dares to spout such arrogant words? Netherdragon Tianfeng, who gave you the courage to say such things in front of me?”
Long Chen’s voice was calm yet cutting. He was repeating the same sentence—only the name had changed from Hou Tianwu to Netherdragon Tianfeng.
Gasps spread through the crowd. Did this mean Netherdragon Tianfeng had also suffered a defeat at Long Chen’s hands?
It was difficult to believe. After all, Netherdragon Tianfeng was the one who had unified the dragon clans on the other side, commanding an army of countless dragon experts. How could someone of his caliber have lost to Long Chen?
“Hahaha!” Netherdragon Tianfeng laughed, unfazed. “True courage is standing up again after defeat. Today, I, Netherdragon Tianfeng, declare this: You will not leave the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm alive.”
“Your words are meaningless. Long Chen can only die by my hands.”
A new voice rang out. Fantian De had arrived.
“A defeated general also dares to spout such arrogant words? Fantian De, who gave you the courage to say such a thing to me?” asked Long Chen indifferently.
Fantian De’s expression darkened, and he cursed back, “Fool! Last time, you managed to sneak attack me, and you still failed to defeat me. When have I ever lost to you?!”Long Chen simply shrugged. “If your version of truth helps you sleep at night, then so be it.”
His words sent waves of shock through the onlookers. Had all these monstrous experts already fought Long Chen? And from the way they spoke, they had clearly suffered at his hands.
“Long Chen, is it?” Another voice entered the fray. “I didn’t expect so many people to want your life. Looks like I’ll have to move fast.”
The moment this voice rang out, a pale white skeletal figure flashed through Long Chen’s mind[1]. Li Changgeng was here as well, the one who had inherited the Nether Emperor’s corpse.
At this moment, an unprecedented pressure weighed upon Long Chen, but instead of fear, his battle spirit flared.
“Still sore about getting slapped in the face? Li Changgeng, a petty man like you will never accomplish anything great,” Long Chen mocked.
“You…!” Li Changgeng nearly exploded in rage. That slap had been the greatest humiliation of his life.
Then, a voice like rolling thunder shook the battlefield.
“Long Chen’s life is mine. I’ll kill anyone who competes with me over it.”
Long Zaiye had arrived.
Space trembled. The battlefield erupted in startled cries as countless experts surged forward with murderous intent, gunning for Long Chen.
“If you want to kill Long Chen, we’ll have to see if you have that fortune.”
Seeing that he had so many competitors, Hou Tianwu smirked coldly. “So many wolves, yet only one prey. But since fate has brought Long Chen to me, the heavens clearly favor me.” РÀƝꝊᛒĚᶊ
Pointing his golden staff at Long Chen, he continued, “I’ll give you a chance. Use your full strength. I’ll make sure you’re fully convinced of your defeat before you die.”
Nine golden dragon auras ignited around Hou Tianwu, and a terrifying pressure blanketed the battlefield, forcing countless experts to retreat. Now, there was a massive space around him.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Tu hesitated slightly. He wanted to challenge Hou Tianwu for the kill. But in the end, he chose to wait, standing with the other three behind Hou Tianwu.
Despite looking like a wild, brainless fool, Xiang Tu was quite calculative. He was betting on Hou Tianwu’s strength. If Hou Tianwu lost, Xiang Tu could swoop in and claim the final blow. That would cement his position as stronger than Hou Tianwu, and the demon race factions would rally behind him. That would help him become the leader of the Heaven Demon Alliance.
However, a sliver of doubt gnawed at him. Could Long Chen still defeat Hou Tianwu? Only he knew how terrifying Hou Tianwu had become after condensing nine core veins.
Long Chen was about to speak when a sudden beam of divine light shot out from the Emperor reverse scale, engulfing him in a twisting force.
His expression changed.
In an instant, Long Chen vanished.
“Boss was pulled into the Emperor reverse scale!”
Gu Yang and the others were stunned. This was too abrupt—they hadn’t been prepared for it.
Hou Tianwu had just locked onto Long Chen when he disappeared. Now, Long Chen’s aura was radiating from inside the Emperor reverse scale.
“What’s happening? Is the Emperor reverse scale granting him its legacy?!” Panicked shouts echoed through the air.
But then, a chilling killing intent spread across the battlefield, shattering their assumptions. The Emperor reverse scale hadn’t pulled Long Chen in to bestow its inheritance. It had dragged him inside to kill him.
Everyone was baffled by this sudden turn of events. Within that twisted space, they felt like they could see Long Chen’s figure.
As everyone’s attention was drawn to the Emperor reverse scale, Little Nine eyed Hou Tianwu with growing killing intent.
Long Chen had given it strict orders not to act without his permission, and it had held back until now. But this…
“Little Nine!”
Bai Xiaole sensed the change in the fox’s aura and jumped forward.
“Boss is already inside the dragon scale’s space. Am I still supposed to follow his orders and just wait?!” The fox’s voice was icy, its runes swirling ominously.
“This is all part of Boss’s plan! He already told us to hold back and conserve our energy until he returns,” Bai Xiaole said firmly.
Little Nine growled. “Why should I listen to him? The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race is right there! Those traitors nearly wiped out my entire clan!”
Little Nine’s claws clenched, and its killing intent rose to a breaking point. It was prepared to defy orders and attack with all its might.
Bai Xiaole took a deep breath and met the fox’s gaze with unwavering resolve.
“Little Nine, if you act now, then our destiny comes to an end. From this moment on, we go our separate ways.”
His calm words struck like a hammer, making the Violet Pupil Nine-Tailed Fox’s heart tremble.
