Long Chen saw three Divine Lord-level experts with soaring blood and energy, fiercely battling a group of Realm Kings. Among those were even a half-step Divine Sovereign realm expert.
The three of them were outnumbered, yet they were exceptionally brave. Dozens of corpses lay on the ground, all Realm Kings powerful warriors.
In the distance was an abandoned city, with thousands of people hiding inside in terror. Some Immortal King Realm experts held weapons, surrounding the city with furious faces as they stared at the battlefield ahead, but unfortunately, they had no right to enter.
"Our clan has no grudge against you, so why do you insist on pressing me?"
The half-step Divine Sovereign realm expert exerted his full strength to block one of them, shouting sternly.
The person he blocked was a Supreme-level prodigy, whose blood surged to the heavens, his pressure overwhelming, and his aura carried the power of the wild—he was clearly a powerful member of the Beast Clan.
"No grudges, no grudges?" If I kill your human race, what grudge is there to me? Humble humans should never have been living in this world. The supreme-level prodigy of the beast clan sneered coldly, smashed his fist down, and struck the old man's weapon.
With a loud explosion, he caught the divine weapon barehanded. The golden-glowing palm remained completely unscathed. Instead, the old man was shaken violently—his palm was actually the Supreme Bone.
"I'm going all out against you."
The old man was shaken so hard his blood surged that he roared and ignited the fire of life to forcibly boost his combat power.
"What can I fight for?"
The man sneered, his large hand spread, golden runes swirling across his palm, and his violent aura surged several times in an instant.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a flash of black light swept by, blood splattered, and the man's palm was cut off. Immediately after, a man dressed in black appeared and grabbed the large hand.
Long Chen made his move. The black dagger moved, directly slicing off the man's palm. When the palm landed in Long Chen's grasp, it suddenly transformed into a giant bear paw.
"Tch, I'm afraid no one would want this stuff." Long Chen was deeply disappointed when he saw that the man's large hand was actually a bear's paw, and he threw it directly into the chaotic space.
Originally, the bear paw had just fallen into Long Chen's hand, and golden light erupted from it, trying to break free. But the moment it was thrown into the chaotic space, the man let out a piercing scream.
The Supreme aura on his body vanished in an instant. Having lost his Supreme Bone, he became listless and weak in an instant.
"Death."
The old man who had ignited the flame of life slashed down with his sword. The man had no ability to resist before being slashed into a mist of blood. The moment the Supreme powerhouse lost his Supreme Bone, nearly half his life was taken, and he could only watch death strike helplessly.
The supreme-level prodigy was killed. The other two beast experts were terrified, their blood surging and fleeing immediately. The Realm Kings tried to stop them but couldn't stop them at all.
The two Divine Lord-level experts dashed out, revealing their true forms—they were actually two scaled eagles. With a flap of their wings, they had already escaped tens of thousands of miles away, moving so fast that they couldn't catch up.
"Puff puff"
Suddenly, a blade shadow descended from the sky, slicing through the void. The two massive figures were sliced to dust with a single strike.
"Clang."
When people came to their senses, Long Chen's long blade slowly sheathed as if he had done a trivial matter, yet it startled everyone.
Long Chen's strike was silent and unnoticed. By the time they reacted, it was all over.
"Thank you, hero, for saving us. Our Luo family will forever be grateful for your great kindness." The half-step Divine Venerable elder cupped his fists toward Long Chen, his face full of gratitude.
If it weren't for Long Chen, even if he fought with his life, whether he could withstand that supreme-level powerhouse was still unknown. If he lost, all his clan members would die tragically.
"The Luo family lineage?"
Long Chen was about to be polite, but when he heard the man mention the Luo family lineage, his heart suddenly stirred. He turned to look at the dead on the ground. Long Chen waved his large hand, and a drop of fresh blood fell into his palm. Seeing the blood tinged with a faint purple aura, Long Chen couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face.
When they saw Long Chen's expression, the faces of the experts present changed. They secretly gripped their weapons tighter and became tense.
Even the half-step Divine Venerable realm expert's expression changed. Although he tried his best to appear natural, he still couldn't hide his inner panic.
"Are you from the Purple Blood lineage?" Long Chen looked at the half-step Divine Venerable elder and asked.
"That's right."
The old man saw Long Chen recognize their identities and couldn't help but groan inwardly, but his arguments were useless, so he had no choice but to admit it.
"No need to be nervous. By my own words, I'm also from the Purple Blood lineage. Today, I've finally run into one of our own." Long Chen smiled faintly.
But even as Long Chen said this, the people before him still showed deep wariness in their eyes.
"Your bloodline has faded to the point of almost disappearing. If this continues, within three generations, you will completely lose all the inheritance power of the Purple Blood lineage.
Listen to my command—all Divine Lord disciples, step forward. Long Chen said to the people inside the city.
These people looked at Long Chen, then at the old man. Although the old man was wary of Long Chen and could not sense any purple blood power from him, Long Chen severed the hand of a supreme-level prodigy with one strike and killed two others with one strike. It seemed so effortless. If he wanted to kill them, they would have no chance to resist.
The old man pondered for a moment, nodded to those people, and then more than three hundred Divine Lord disciples emerged from the abandoned city.
Long Chen took out a large pile of Heavenly Dao Fruits from the Heavenly Dao Tree in the chaotic space and distributed them to them, letting them eat them.
The disciples looked at the fruit but dared not eat it. Looking at the old man, the old man also looked puzzled, unsure whether he should let the disciples eat it.
But when Long Chen handed a fruit to a young girl, seeing the fear in her eyes, he couldn't help but pat her head with concern and smiled: "
Don't be afraid, brother will only help you, I won't harm you."
Long Chen's smile was highly infectious. The girl obediently nodded and ate the fruit without hesitation. Her eating startled the others.
"Buzz"—
just as the fruit was eaten, the girl's entire body trembled with her vital energy, and a faint layer of purple energy covered her body. When the purple energy appeared, everyone was shocked, staring at the girl in disbelief.
"Purple Qi Revival, Purple Qi Revival."
The half-step Divine Sovereign elder was overjoyed, staring at the young woman in disbelief.
Long Chen kept watching the girl, but unfortunately, there was no purple rune in her eyes. That only meant her purple blood was too thin—even the Heavenly Dao Fruit could barely help her this far.
Seeing the girl's transformation, the other disciples all ate the Heavenly Dao Fruit. Soon, each disciple was enveloped in purple energy. The Luo family's strong figures were filled with disbelief, as if they were in a dream.
"Senior, may I have a word with you?" The half-step Divine Sovereign suddenly bowed respectfully to Long Chen and said.
