The power of that spear was unparalleled. Just as Long Chen had predicted, it was a strike capable of piercing the barriers of the world. Back then, Wu Tian used this spear to open a passage for Long Chen, sending him into the Immortal Realm.
So, only Long Chen knew how terrifying this spear was. If he took it head-on, he would surely die. Not to mention him, even a Realm King wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The moment the spear pierced the Elephant Emperor chariot, Long Chen opened his large hand and consecutively formed eighteen thunder shields.
And these eighteen thunder shields were as thin as paper in the face of that spear, instantly pierced through.
However, these eighteen thunder shields bought Long Chen time. The moment the first shield shattered, Long Chen quickly dodged to the side.
"Pfft!"
The dragon scales on Long Chen's body shattered, blood splattered. He dodged the spear, but the divine might attached to the spear still left his whole body bloody and mangled.
Long Chen was shocked. This strike was a copy of the Heavenly Dao, and judging by its divine power, it was not as real as Wu Tian's strike.
But even so, it was enough to kill Long Chen. The heavenly tribulation locked onto him. If it weren't for the Elephant Emperor war chariot blocking the way, and the eighteen thunder shields warning him, he might have already died.
Because after being locked onto by the tribulation, if he dodges too early, the tribulation will lock onto him again. If he dodges too late, he will be directly stabbed.
Therefore, the eighteen thunder shields Long Chen conjured were not meant to block the spear, but to calculate the timing. When the first shield shattered, he would dodge, timing the timing just right.
"Boom!"
The spear pierced through the chariot, shattered the shield, and charged straight toward the barrier below. With a loud explosion, the once indestructible shield began to crack endlessly.
The experts of the Saint Pill Hall inside the barrier turned pale with fear, nearly shattering it. That shield, formed with faith power and connected to the Great Brahma Heaven statue, actually developed cracks.
"Cough, cough, cough... The
elephant emperor chariot was blasted open with a huge hole. Inside, the eighth prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan was half gone, coughing up blood.
"Not dead?" Then I'll send you off one more time. Long
Chen was covered in blood, but he didn't care; these were just superficial wounds and had no effect on him.
Long Chen stepped into the void, thunder wings appearing behind him. He pushed the Elephant Emperor war chariot with his large hands, exhaled loudly, and howled toward the sky.
The Elephant Emperor war chariot was pushed by Long Chen, shooting like a meteor, crashing toward the barrier.
"No...!"
The Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan cried out in alarm. He desperately tried to climb out of the chariot, but his body was already useless, especially under the immense inertia. He could only watch helplessly as the chariot crashed into the already fractured barrier.
"Boom!"
Amid the terrified screams of the Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant Clan, the shattered Elephant Emperor war chariot crashed into the barrier with a loud crash. The chariot shattered, and after a series of shaking, the barrier also shattered.
"The heavenly tribulation is over. Let's kill him together."
Only then did the Hall Master of the Saint Pill Hall realize that the heavenly tribulation had disappeared, and it was time to act.
With his shout, countless chieftains of the demon beast clan—Mammoth Divine Elephant, Water Duck, Golden Bull, Blue-Eyed Colorful Scales, and others—roared as they charged into Ruixia Prefecture.
All the prodigies of their clans were dead, not a single one left. They were furious, determined to kill Long Chen to avenge him.
However, the Avian clan experts were all led by the Thunder Falcon clan. Seeing that the Thunder Falcon clan hadn't moved, they didn't move either.
"Just for show."
After hearing the old clan leader's reminder, the Lei Sun clan leader finally realized that everyone else had made a move. If they didn't, the earlier act would have been for nothing.
"Kill him! Kill this ungrateful guy Long Chen!"
The Thunder Falcon clan chief shouted loudly and charged out with the chiefs. However, he deliberately moved slowly; they couldn't really kill Long Chen, or else they would have repaid kindness with betrayal.
"Buzz"—
the heavenly tribulation vanished, and Long Chen's body roared. The previously turbulent aura rapidly solidified.
At this moment, he had successfully advanced to the Divine Lord Realm. When crossing the tribulation, although he possessed the aura of a Divine Lord, that power was intangible, as soft as soil.
But after truly advancing to the Divine Lord realm, his aura became as solid and solid as steel. Only now did he truly grasp the power of a Divine Lord.
"The four corners converge, reigning over the world."
Long Chen felt the endless power within his body and finally understood what this phrase meant to describe the Divine Lord Realm.
"Buzz"
A thunderball appeared in Long Chen's left hand. The moment the thunderball appeared, the thunder runes from Wutian's spear transformed into thunder dragons, gathering toward the thunderball in Long Chen's hand.
At this moment, the Hall Master of the Saint Pill Hall and other powerful figures had already approached Long Chen, waving their divine weapons with ferocious expressions.
Long Chen, however, wore a mocking smile: "This time we really hit the jackpot—not only did we get through the tribulation without incident, we even managed to take down an entire Saint Pill Hall." The
thunderball in Long Chen's hand instantly expanded to a giant spanning a thousand miles, its violent destructive aura sweeping across the heavens. The faces of the Saint Pill Hall Master and others changed dramatically.
The thunder orb in Long Chen's hand possessed the will of the Black Sky Spear. On that thunderball, they felt the threat of death.
"Not good, run
!"
A Realm King's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly steadied himself, trying to escape.
"It's too late, World-Destroying Lightning."
Long Chen shouted sharply, pushing the thunderball forward in his hand. That direction was exactly where the Great Brahma statue stood.
"Boom!"
It was as if a sun had exploded, divine light soared into the nine heavens, even the stars trembled, and the divine light mixed with fragments of time and space spread in all directions.
The chief of the Thunder Falcon clan was startled by the sight and quickly led his men to retreat. Fortunately, they had deliberately charged at the back and escaped the fastest.
"Puff puff puff... Divine
light rolled like a demon's tongue. Anyone touched by it was reduced to dust. Even half-step Realm King experts could not withstand the terrifying power and were slaughtered one after another.
"Rumble... The
avian clan experts escaped the fastest, but were still caught up by the shockwave and sent flying. Fortunately, they were fast enough to escape a certain area, only coughing up blood from the shock.
Lightning tore through the air, fierce winds roared, flesh and debris from buildings shot through the void, and even divine weapons flew out from the wind, piercing through some unlucky people.
After the fierce wind's torment, the earth's crust had deformed. The once prosperous Ruixia Ancient City had been leveled, all the buildings had vanished, and only one remainedThe statue stood tall there.
Apart from that statue, as far as the eye could see, there was no other building in sight. This strike was earth-shattering.
"Bang bang bang...
One figure after another emerged from the soil. These were Realm King realm experts, each covered in dust and disheveled, covered by the core of the World-Destroying Lightning. Only true Realm Kings could survive.
"Splash..."
Amidst the dead silence, the sound of running water rang out. In the distance, atop the Great Brahma Divine Statue, a man dressed in black stood with a blood-red long blade on his shoulder, his expression cold as he urinated on the statue's face.
