Behind Long Chen, seven stars connected to form a star ring, power cycling endlessly, never leaking out in the slightest.
Last time, Long Chen summoned the Seven-Star Battle Body, but didn't dare to connect them into a star ring, because then Long Chen's aura couldn't leak out, which could easily burst him apart.
But after such a long time of adaptation, his meridians had regained the experience from last impact, and now he could wield all the power of the Seven-Star Battle Body.
The moment the power of the Seven Stars began to flow, Long Chen's internal power surged forth. He threw a punch, his divine might radiating through heaven and earth, piercing through the heavens.
"Boom!"
It was a world-shaking collision. The void exploded, black cracks filled the world, and it seemed as if the whole world was about to shatter.
The violent shockwave formed a deadly ripple, radiating in all directions. The golden lake beneath everyone's feet was instantly shaken into golden mist. Seeing the situation go badly, Yin Changsheng, Ji Wuming, and the others launched a full-scale defense.
Yet he was still sent flying by the aftershock of the two. Xia Chen, however, was prepared, holding a talisman and teleporting out ahead of time with Yue Xiaoqian, Mo Nian, and Guo Ran. By the time the fierce wind blew in front of them, it had already weakened considerably.
Yet even so, Xia Chen still felt the fierce wind sting like a sharp blade, making his face ache and as if his body was about to be torn apart.
"Look!" Suddenly,
Guo Ran pointed at the golden lake and shouted.
The punch from Long Chen and Long Aotian shattered the lake, revealing the true face beneath the lake.
Beneath the lake floor lay thirty-six coffins. The moment these coffins were exposed, a surge of wildness swept over them, making Guo Ran and the others' hairs stand on end. An invisible sense of fear enveloped everyone, and in that instant, it was as if something was staring at them.
"Trouble, we've been caught up in terrifying karma." Mo Nian looked at the coffins, his expression a bit surprised and uncertain.
As a tomb raider, he was familiar with all kinds of large tombs. After many tomb raids, he inevitably got involved with all sorts of ominous things. As the saying goes, 'If you walk too many nighttime paths, you'll eventually see ghosts.'
Before entering the Land of Sky Burial, Mo Nian had already set up a barrier. This was the secret technique of Wuliang Palace, designed to block all kinds of invisible forces such as karmic curses.
But when these coffins appeared, Mo Nian was shocked to find that the barrier he had set up was destroyed in an instant, providing no protection at all.
The appearance of these coffins made everyone's hearts tremble. As strong beings, once they are touched by karma, they all sense it—a feeling as if they're being targeted by terrifying monsters, unable to escape for the rest of their lives.
At that moment, Yin Changsheng, Jiuyou Luosha, Ji Wuming, and the others' faces all changed. Once this karma is involved, it can never be shaken off.
On those coffins were ancient totems, among which were strange trees, rare flowers, and strange beasts never seen before.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, hundreds of demons and experts from the Sacred Pill Hall let out piercing screams. They covered their eyes, blood slowly flowing from between their fingers. When the blood flowed out, it was accompanied by rotting minced flesh, like a messy mud—truly terrifying.
"Don't look at those coffins, and don't even look at the eyes of that totem beast. If your fate isn't tough enough, this karma will erupt on the spot." Yin Changsheng shouted loudly, stopping the experts from the Sacred Pill Hall from inspecting the coffins.
Although he didn't know the origin of those coffins, the terrifying power of causality had already tainted him. Even he felt his scalp tingle and his soul tremble—something extraordinary had already been buried here.
Beneath the mysterious ancient cauldron lies a golden lake. Beneath the golden lake lie these coffins. Even if you think about it with your heels, you know these coffins are the true core of the Land of Heavenly Burial.
"Rumble rumble...
Suddenly, two long howls shook heaven and earth. Violent waves of energy surged out, layer upon layer, endless and endless, continuously washing over the world.
Only then did people shift their gaze from the coffin to midair, where Long Chen and Long Aotian clashed their fists, their howls shaking the heavens, fully suppressing each other.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Where
Long Chen and Long Aotian's fists met, cracks spread in all directions. The runes of the Dao shattered continuously, space-time fragments danced, and under their violent force, the entire world wailed, seemingly about to burst apart.
The partition above everyone's heads had somehow turned to dust. The entire Sky Burial Ground trembled continuously, and corpses on the surrounding walls tumbled down, creating chaos.
The surrounding experts trembled in fear; they had never seen such a terrifying sight. It was as if the two of them wanted to destroy the entire world together.
Long Chen and Long Aotian locked eyes, murderous intent soaring. They paid no attention to the situation around them; they had only one thought: to defeat the other in the most direct and violent way.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
power of the two surged wildly toward each other. The violent air currents shook the skyline, and under their power, the skyline began to roar and explode.
But strangely, the skyline roared and trembled, yet the bronze ancient cauldron standing within the skyline remained completely unmoved, completely unaffected by the skyline.
Throughout the Heavenly Burial Ground, only the sound of the air rushing and pressing down on Myriad Dao could be heard. No one else dared to act rashly. Even Mo Nian, who was full of covetous desires for those coffins, could only secretly observe them to see what was happening and how to act any later.
Although these coffins were extremely terrifying, since karma had already been involved, there was nothing to fear. He was very curious to know what kind of terrifying existence was buried inside these coffins.
But he couldn't act now. If he did, Ji Wuming, Yin Changsheng, Jiuyou Luosha, Shi Yang, and the others would also make a move. There were too many of them, and if they acted rashly, they would be at a disadvantage. He could only wait for the right moment to watch the fierce battle between Long Chen and Long Aotian.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen and Long Aotian retreated simultaneously. They separated, the spatial rift disappeared, and the piercing sonic boom subsided. In that moment, the entire world fell silent.
"Very good, as expected of Long Chen. You didn't disappoint me. I still have many secret moves I haven't unleashed. If you lose so early, that would be really boring." Long Aotian stood atop the void, divine light flickering within the strange phenomenon behind him, performing a mysterious rhythm. Looking at Long Chen, battle intent surged in his eyes like a wild beast staring at its prey.
Long Aotian was not particularly surprised by Long Chen's strength; instead, he was filled with endless excitement. Even facing Long Chen at full firepower, he remained full of confidence.
"No matter how many secret techniques you have, you will never escape the fate of being suppressed by me. From the moment you stole my spirit blood, spiritual root, and spirit bone, your fate was sealed."
Long Chen's fighting spirit also surged; it was as if he was born for battle. Only through battle could he understand himself and see himself clearly.
"Hahaha, you're still as arrogant as ever. Let's see how much longer you can keep your arrogance."
Long Aotian howled to the sky, his hands spread. Suddenly, the world within the vision behind him changed color, and endless golden light flew out from the world behind him, heading straight for Long Chen.
"Sharp metal energy—he is the master of the power of metal." When he saw the myriad beams of golden light, Xia Chen exclaimed—those beams of golden light were actually sharp golden swords.
The most terrifying thing is when those golden swordsFlying out from the phenomenon, endless golden sand and gravel glowed from the soil of the Land of Sky Burial, surging straight toward the golden longsword. The golden sword appeared, instantly draining the golden power of this world.
At that moment, Yin Changsheng, Jiuyou Luosha, and the others were all shocked.
