An elderly man stood in the distant void, calling out to the arena. His position was on the outer viewing platform, but his voice could pass through the barrier and enter the arena.
On the inner arena, all the strong competitors participated, while on the outer stage, people from all over Jiuzhou came to watch. Although Bai Shishi's mother was the team leader, she could only watch from the outside viewing platform.
This Flower Butterfly Patriarch held an extremely high rank in the Sect, three generations above the current sect leader. Young Master Wuji was the one he valued most, so naturally he spoiled him in every way, letting him do everything he wanted. That was why Young Master Wuji was so unrestrained, even the sect leader couldn't control him.
This Ancestor Huadie was once a powerhouse that caused a sensation across the Nine Provinces, committing countless evil deeds yet no one could do anything to him. Now, his appearance caused countless people to exclaim in shock.
"Let go of Wuji, or I will tear you to pieces." Ancestor Huadie stood above the void, roaring angrily at Long Chen.
As soon as Ancestor Huadie spoke, the powerful figures from Lingxiao Academy on the platform were furious—this guy actually interfered in the match.
"You sure have a big mouth, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability." A cold voice rang out, startling the experts inside and outside the hall—it was Bai Shishi's mother speaking.
Ancestor Huadie threatened Long Chen, and Bai Shishi's mother spoke up, effectively supporting Long Chen. Suddenly, the two clashed head-on.
"Pfft"
Long Chen completely ignored the threat from the Flower Butterfly Ancestor. Even if Bai Shishi's mother didn't speak, it wouldn't change his mind. Long Chen stabbed his sword into Young Master Wuji's thigh again.
"Ah..."
Young Master Wuji's face twisted, his whole body trembling, his piercing cries chilling. From his expression, one could imagine the pain he was enduring to the endure.
However, this time, no one cheered Long Chen up, because the Flower Butterfly Patriarch was watching from outside. They feared that if they cheered, the Flower Butterfly Patriarch would remember them and not want to cause trouble for themselves or the sect. Yet in their hearts, they secretly felt pleased. Young Master Wuji was notorious for his crimes, and now he was being repaid for this, which was a great relief.
"Long Chen, are you asking for trouble?" Ancestor Huadie roared angrily.
"Pfft"
Long Chen's face was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard his voice. He thrust another flaming sword into Young Master Wuji's shoulder armor, causing him to scream in agony. His eyes bulged outward, feeling as if he was about to explode.
"Long Chen, if you dare kill me, both you and your sect will suffer bloody retaliation from the Flower Butterfly Sect, and you and your family will die tragically... Ah!"
Just as Young Master Wuji threatened Long Chen, Long Chen stabbed his sword into his shoulder armor again, causing him to scream in agony.
Every strike Long Chen struck made him clearly feel the pain, and the pain was gradual, preventing him from fainting.
"... Twist your way around me, Third Master, Third Father, you are my own father. I am willing to serve as a servant, but I can't take it anymore. Please let me go..." Young Master Wuji cried out loudly. Under endless torment, his will collapsed, and he began to beg for mercy.
After thrusting four consecutive sword strikes, Long Chen's expression calmed. The anger in his heart slowly faded, and the restless dark power began to subside.
Long Chen understood that the so-called dark power was his negative emotions; the more they accumulated, the more irritable and easily angered he became.
To calm this power, one must vent one's anger; to maintain absolute calm, one must release negative emotions. This is what dragon clan experts say: it's better to be distant, better to block. The longer you suppress, the more terrifying the eruption.
Faced with Young Master Wuji's tearful pleas for mercy, both inside and outside the arena, countless experts scoffed, their faces full of mockery and contempt.
Long Chen spread his large hand, the void trembling, countless fiery runes swirling, slowly forming a flaming sword in his hand. Long Chen looked at Young Master Wuji with a blank expression and said, "
Only when a sharp sword pierces oneself does one know pain; only when death descends upon oneself does one realize the preciousness of life."
When you trample on others' dignity and take their lives at will, have you ever considered their longing for life?
If you don't respect life, treat others' lives as worthless, think that just because you're strong enough, you can take life and death without reckless recklessness, and show no respect for it. People like you simply don't deserve to live in this world.
I told you, I will make you regret coming into this world. In your pain, confess your sins! "
Pfft"
After Long Chen finished speaking, his longsword pierced Young Master Wuji's dantian. In that instant, the five swords piercing Young Master Wuji simultaneously glowed, colorful flames intertwining like five fire dragons wandering over his body.
"Ah...
Young Master Wuji suddenly roared wildly, as if the pain he was enduring was countless times more intense than before. His voice echoed through heaven and earth, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"It's karmic fire refining souls, he ... How did he know this move? An elderly man outside said in shock.
"What is Karmic Fire Soul Refining?" Someone humbly asked.
"Karmic Fire Refining the Soul, the Heavenly Dao's Fire Heart-Questioning and Soul-Reading technique, uncovers the sins deep within the soul. The more evil a person is, the more intense the pain they endure.
This is a Heavenly Dao technique, designed to deal with those who are utterly heinous. It's said that this technique has been lost, yet Long Chen, at such a young age, can actually perform such a Heavenly Dao technique—truly astonishing. The man replied.
Someone interjected, "Karmic fire tempers the soul, asking straight to the heart. The more guilt and fear you have inside, the more pain you must endure."
Moreover, during the karmic fire soul refinement, even if the soul is exhausted, lifespan is exhausted, and essence, qi, and spirit all vanish, one still does not die. Only after all the sins on one's body are burned away will it dissipate. Moreover, if one commits too many evils, the soul will scatter, never entering reincarnation, and disappear forever. When
they heard how terrifying the soul refining of karmic fire was, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. After all, many had done something wrong, and they all felt a chill down their spines.
"Long Chen, I told you to let him go..." Ancestor Huadie roared angrily, charging toward the arena.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, divine light erupted on the arena. A beam of divine light flew past, and Ancestor Huadie's face changed dramatically as he struck down with his palm.
With a loud explosion, one of the Flower Butterfly Patriarch's arms shattered, blood rain falling in thin streams. The Flower Butterfly Patriarch was blasted away by the divine light, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
All the powerful beings present were shocked. Ancestor Huadie was a Divine Lord realm expert, and as soon as he approached the arena, he was injured by the grand formation.
"This guy is really an idiot. I thought it was when Silvermoon City took control of the arena?" Now that the arena was under the management of Huayun Trading Company, everything was left to the arena to evolve itself. He acted rashly and survived the shock, which was considered lucky. "Someone sneered.
You have to know, this arena, like the ancient Dao Debate Platform, has its own artifact spirits. They act according to the oldest rules, and if anyone dares to interfere with a normal duel, they will attack.
However, in the past, the arena was always controlled by humans, so there had basically never been any incidents of autonomous attacks. But now, things were different—the Flower Butterfly Ancestor approached rashly and immediately suffered a heavy loss.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Young Master Wuji's body exploded with a thunderous crash, turning into nothingness, vanishing into the world, his soul scattered.
"Long Chen, if I don't tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust, I swear I won't be human."
Seeing Young Master Wuji destroyed, the Flower Butterfly Ancestor roared to the sky, letting out a beast-like roar.
