"What kind of divine weapon is that?"
Long Chen's bone knife sliced through the void, and with a gentle stroke, he sliced through it. Everyone was shocked—they had never seen such a terrifying weapon.
This Flame Demon Blade was in Long Chen's hands, displayed before the world for the first time. Its sharpness struck fear into countless powerful beings.
"I didn't expect you to have so many treasures on you. Very good. After today's battle, everything will be mine." Looking at the bone knife in Long Chen's hand, Jiang Baihe's eyes lit up, clearly drawn to Long Chen's long blade. This jade-like divine weapon was loved by everyone.
"Greed is the original sin. It was precisely because of greed that Jiang Weizhong nearly destroyed Yuhua Palace.
Your ancestor, after much effort, even humbled himself to have an equal conversation with me, a rookie at the Four Extremes Realm, all for your sake.
Originally, your ancestor pulled you back from the brink of death, but you were interesting, forcing your way in yourself.
You have no idea that the moment I first saw you, I saw the evil and darkness deep within your heart.
And deep in your soul, there is something I hate so much, so when I see you, I feel murderous intent toward you.
But to spare my brother from making things difficult, I could endure and spare your life. Unfortunately, you never intended to spare others, and because of that very thought, you set foot on a path of no return..."
Long Chen's words echoed in the void and fell into the ears of Ancestor Yuhua. He couldn't help but sigh, while the other Yuhua Palace experts stared at him in shock. Could all of this really be as Ancestor Yuhua said?
"You're too arrogant. Do you realize how childish you are now..." Jiang Baihe laughed angrily.
"Smack!"
Just as he sneered, Long Chen's figure flickered and appeared in front of him, slapping him hard across the face.
With a crisp bang, Jiang Baihe didn't even have time to react before Long Chen slapped him away.
"Rumble... Jiang
Baihe was sent flying backward, like a meteor shooting through the mountains, sending dust flying all the way to the edge of sight.
Long Chen held the bone knife in his right hand, his left hand still swinging in a swinging stance, standing quietly as if he had done a trivial task.
The Yuhua Palace experts present felt their hearts leap into their throats for a moment, only hearing their own heartbeats; they could not believe what was happening before them.
"I really dislike your way of showing off. I don't get it. Where does your confidence come from?"
I'll give you one chance, or else you're already a soul fallen by the blade. Long Chen looked at Jiang Baihe before him, his gaze cold as he spoke.
"Boss is boss! This slap technique is just as miraculous in the Immortal Realm—no one can stop it." Qi Yu watched as Long Chen slapped Jiang Baihe away, his blood surging with excitement. That long-lost feeling resurfaced in his heart, and unconsciously, his fighting spirit surged.
With a thunderous boom, the earth exploded, and a massive portal appeared. From within the portal, a massive figure burst forth.
It was a giant golden ape, its entire body covered in golden fur, its eyes like gold. As soon as it appeared, a violent aura radiated outward, shaking heaven and earth, and blood surged skyward.
It was a fifth-tier giant beast, but it was neither a ferocious beast nor a magical beast—it was a spirit-summoning beast from another world.
Spirit-summoning beasts can be summoned to this world by forming soul contracts.
The Chu family uses the altar to communicate with the beings of the Underworld through offerings, which is actually a kind of contract. However, the Chu family's contract is a one-time deal: once the beings enjoy the offerings, they must work for them, and after it's over, they owe each other nothing.
But the technique of bloodline spirit communication is a long-term practice. However, in this world, such spiritual bloodlines are extremely rare.
And even with a spiritual bloodline, you still need to enter another world to capture a beast you're satisfied with, forcing it to form a contract.
However, if you want to possess a spirit-summoning beast stronger than yourself, you can't rely on strength; you need to use various schemes to lure these spirit-summoning beasts into forming contracts.
The appearance of this golden giant ape exuded a terrifying pressure, shocking countless powerful beings. Jiang Baihe had previously summoned a spirit-summoning giant beast, but it was always at the fourth tier.
However, those fourth-tier spirit-summoning giant beasts were also extremely terrifying, some with strength comparable to Immortal Kings.
But today, Jiang Baihe actually summoned a fifth-rank Spirit Beast, a being capable of rivaling an Immortal King.
"This golden giant ape—even if I were him, I'd give it my all. Tell me, how could Long Chen possibly stand against him?"
Seeing Jiang Baihe summon the golden giant ape, a trace of pride appeared at the corner of Jiang Weizhong's mouth as he looked toward Ancestor Yuhua.
What disappointed him was that even though the Golden Giant Ape appeared and shocked everyone, there was no sign of joy on Ancestor Yuhua's face.
"Roar!"
The golden giant ape appeared and roared to the sky. The tremendous roar shattered the mountains, catching countless people off guard. Their eardrums throbbed sharply, blood flowed, and for a short time, no sound could be heard—only the whole world could feel shaking.
"Man and beast as one."
Jiang Baihe stood atop the golden giant ape's head, forming hand seals, and then, like a rune, he was imprinted on the ape's forehead.
"Buzz!"
The golden giant ape produced a vajra pestle in its hand. It was so large that when the giant ape raised it, it seemed as if it could pierce the sky.
"Whoosh!"
The golden giant ape roared angrily, the Vajra Pestle descended from the sky, the void collapsed, and the blow changed the color of heaven and earth.
All the powerful figures present were terrified. Although the strike wasn't aimed at them, the terrifying pressure nearly shattered their spirits.
Bai Shishi's expression also changed. She hadn't expected Jiang Baihe to be so terrifying. Compared to him, Ku Wuya and Gui Yun were nothing but trash.
"Dead"
The Golden Giant Ape actually spoke human language. In its combined state, everything about it was controlled by Jiang Baihe.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth as he slowly raised the bone knife in front of him, quietly waiting for the Vajra Pestle to arrive.
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, the enormous Vajra Pestle descended, like a Pillar smashing an ant with its Optimus Prime. Long Chen seemed so small, and a thunderous crash rang out.
"Boom!"
The thousand-mile giant pestle fell, sending waves of energy rolling and endless spatial fragments flying. The ground instantly shattered into pieces, and even the powerful beings present, even those at the Divine Lord realm, were shaken so hard their blood and energy surged that they nearly spat blood.
Dust flew and rocks flew through the void, but people were horrified to find that under the massive Vajra Pestle, Long Chen hadn't moved at all.
He held a bone knife and held the vajra pestle as thick as a mountain, his long hair flowing, clothes billowing, and his stern face expressionless.
Above Long Chen's bone knife, a transparent light screen appeared, forming an arc. On the Vajra Pestle, there was an even larger arc. The two arcs rubbed together, producing a piercing sonic boom that caused intense pain, as if torn apart.
"I understand now. You seem to not even know what your own power is. Alright, let me help you force it out. Long
Chen looked at Jiang Baihe, his entire body instantly covered in dragon scales. Golden light shot up into the sky, and the sound of a dragon's roar echoed through the heavens.
