"Do it!"
When that will was awakened, Long Chen shouted excitedly—he had finally succeeded.
Before Long Chen could speak, the chaotic space trembled, and a fierce aura erupted, as if a sleeping giant dragon had been awakened and unleashed its earth-shattering power.
Long Chen felt an invisible, tangible force shoot out, crashing into the Ling Tian bracelet.
"Boom!"
The massive Ling Tian Bracelet was pierced by that force, forming a hole hundreds of miles around.
The Ling Tian bracelet wasn't shattered, but the force of its penetration was countless times greater. Even the Tianwu Continent fell silent, as if stunned.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The Ling Tian Bracelet was pierced, and the runes on its body, like those of a giant dragon, began to shatter one after another. Immediately, countless fine cracks appeared on the massive Ling Tian Bracelet.
In that instant, the entire world's aura cleared, releasing endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The intensity of the spiritual energy was hundreds of times stronger than the best spirit-gathering arrays.
"What?"
When they saw the runes on Ling Tian Bracelet disappear and lose all vitality, the powerful figures from all the major factions were stunned.
"How is this possible? The Ling Tian Bracelet was an immortal artifact from the previous era; in the next generation, no power could destroy it. The Blood Clan Emperor looked utterly incredulous.
Back in the year of the Immortal Ancient War, the Tianwu Continent was at its peak, filled with powerful warriors, yet no one could defeat Ling Tian Zhuang.
Even if the Ling Tian bracelet is suppressed, as long as it is given time, it will self-heal and never be destroyed.
But they didn't even see what was happening before the Ling Tian bracelet was destroyed, the artifact spirit died, and the power they had absorbed over so many years began to slowly release and return to heaven and earth.
"You... It really happened. The soul of the Ling Tian bracelet is dead, and the power it stole from me is slowly returning... the Tianwu Continent said excitedly.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the Five Emperors Formation rapidly expanded, covering the Ling Tian bracelet as well.
"Long Chen, don't waste time. The crisis isn't over yet. Quickly absorb power to become emperor. We must seal the passage before they arrive." Emperor Yunshang said to Long Chen.
"Everyone else, also focus on your cultivation. We will help you solidify your foundation and break through again." The Purple Sun Emperor addressed the continent's powerful figures.
Buzz!
The Five Emperors sat cross-legged in the void, occupying five directions: east, west, south, south, and center. The divine light of the five divine artifacts descended, and the profound sound of the Great Dao roared, refreshing everyone with a refreshing spirit, as if forgetting the invaders from outside and quickly entering a meditative state.
"Stop them quickly!"
The Blood Clan Emperor shouted, leading his men to frantically attack the Five Emperors Formation, which trembled uncontrollably.
Previously, they couldn't shake the Five Emperors Grand Array, but now it could make it tremble. That was because the formation had expanded, dispersing its power and making the consumption even more terrifying.
But this grand formation was formed from the souls of the Five Emperors, gathering the power of five generations of emperors. Even with such extensive protection, they still couldn't break it for a while.
At that moment, within the grand formation, Ling Tian Zhuang released endless spiritual energy, gradually returning the power he had absorbed over hundreds of thousands of years.
What terrified them most was that Long Chen was inside the hole of the Ling Tian Bracelet, divine light flowing behind him, his whole body surrounded by stars, frantically absorbing the bracelet's power.
In just half a stick of incense, his aura surged dramatically, and he had already advanced to the Tenth Heaven. This speed was truly terrifying.
It should be noted that Long Chen had awakened the power of the stars, and the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique had generated devouring power. If Ye Ming hadn't launched his attack in advance and traveled around the major worlds, it wouldn't have been long before Long Chen could have declared himself emperor, even without attaining the emperor status.
Ling Tian Zhuo was like a bloodsucking leech, frantically absorbing the power of the Tianwu Continent. Now that it had been killed by the Chaos Pearl, all its power would ultimately return to Tianwu.
This time, the Chaos Pearl once again proved its terror. The Ling Tian Bracelet that had choked the Tianwu Continent was destroyed in a single blow.
Unfortunately, after killing Ling Tian Zhuan, the Chaos Pearl returned to silence, no matter how Long Chen tried to communicate, it never paid him any further attention.
Since obtaining the Chaos Pearl, Long Chen could only control how to farm inside the pearl, but he couldn't trigger it to attack. However, Long Chen knew that only when it was enraged would it automatically counterattack.
This time, Long Chen won the gamble. He knew his luck was terrible, but in the face of absolute strength, there was no such thing as luck or not. The Chaos Pearl killing Ling Tian Bracelet in one strike only meant the two were simply not on the same level.
Long Chen knew that the most terrifying thing on him was the Chaos Pearl, but unfortunately, he had no idea how to use it.
However, having successfully used the Chaos Pearl to kill Ling Tian Zhuo, Long Chen was already satisfied—he had preserved the Tianwu Continent and obtained the source of energy.
Starlight appeared around Long Chen, frantically drawing power from the Ling Tian Bracelet, continuously pouring energy into his body at an unimaginable speed.
While Long Chen was cultivating frantically, a rain of light rained down from within the grand formation—a rain of the Heavenly Dao, allowing people to comprehend the Heavenly Dao faster and break free from its shackles.
It was the Tianwu Continent that had intervened. Now, Long Chen no longer needed her help; she had empowered the continent's strong cultivators.
She is the core of the Tianwu Continent, and the very will of the Tianwu Continent; she is the highest law of the Tianwu Continent.
With her help, countless powerful beings roared within their bodies, their auras surged wildly, and with every breath, countless people broke through.
Especially those with lower realms, who kept breaking through. Some early Fusion Heaven experts even broke through three times in a row within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, breaking through to the mid-stage Fusion Heaven.
The auras of the Dragonblood warriors were rapidly rising, as if they could break through the Tenth Heaven at any moment. The faces of the outer experts outside the barrier changed dramatically.
"Boom boom boom... They
launched a frenzied attack on the barrier. The barrier roared and shook violently, its defense weaker than before.
"This can't go on. If we delay this important matter, all of us will die." The Undying Clan's Ghost Division stopped attacking, his face dark as he spoke.
Ye Ming attacked the barrier relentlessly. He was now the only one here to attain Emperor status, but even with the power of a Great Emperor, he still couldn't break through the Five Emperor barrier immediately, leaving him both shocked and furious.
This Great Emperor was too frustrating. Even after becoming an Emperor, he suffered repeated setbacks. After finally suppressing Long Chen, he was blocked by Emperor Yun Shang. A dead Great Emperor didn't even take him seriously, which made him feel utterly ashamed and furious.
"So what should we do?" Ye Ming roared in anger.
"There's no other way, let's just offer a blood sacrifice!" The Blood Clan Emperor gritted his teeth and said. The others' expressions changed, but they all nodded in agreement.
Soon, countless beings surged into the Tianwu Continent at the exits of Demon Spirit Mountain, the Yin-Yang Realm, the Ancient Battlefield, and the Evil God's Tomb.
They were the beings of the demon clan, blood clan, beast clan, and undying clan. Their cultivation was not high, and they were driven in like livestock.
"Puff puff puff..."
They had just charged into the Tianwu Continent when attacks rained down, shattering the beings and staining the earth with blood.
