"Are you ready?"
Luo Zichuan stopped less than a hundred li from the main gate and looked at Long Chen as he spoke.
Long Chen nodded and took a deep breath.
"Buzz!" Behind him,
the seven-colored divine ring stretched open the heavens and earth, the seven colors swirling, the void trembling, and the vast power tearing through the sky, the pressure mercilessly squeezing in all directions, causing the laws here to roar incessantly.
When Luo Zichuan saw the purple within Long Chen's divine ring, a strange ripple flashed in his eyes, and his gaze grew complicated.
"Seven Star Battle Body, activate!"
Long Chen shouted sharply. In front of Luo Zichuan, he had nothing to hide. The seven stars on the divine ring lit up, and at that moment, all of Long Chen's power was ignited in an instant.
"Rumble rumble... Like
a volcanic eruption, Long Chen's power instantly reached its peak. In the past, Long Chen could only open stars one by one, but after his last battle with Long Aotian, his power had fully penetrated and could unleash his full power without worrying about his body being unable to withstand it.
"Buzz!"
Within the divine ring, an endless sea of stars appeared, 108,000 stars twinkled, and above the heavens, a sea of stars appeared, enveloping the earth like the vast universe, overlooking the eternal heavens.
At that moment, Luo Zichuan was finally moved, shock flashing in his eyes. Long Chen's power was even greater than he had imagined.
"Your potential is truly astonishing, but unfortunately, your purple energy is insufficient. If you had the help of my Luo family's purple blood, your power could increase at least tenfold, and your control could increase a hundredfold." Luo Zichuan looked at the purple energy surging in the star sea behind Long Chen, his eyes filled with regret.
He was a peerless powerhouse, and at a glance Long Chen's weakness was obvious. Although Long Chen's aura was powerful and his strength astonishing, his entire body was leaking out of control.
Although Long Chen himself felt he could control it, in Luo Zichuan's eyes, this kind of control was nothing to laugh at.
"Power cannot be effectively controlled; a hundred percent of the power falls on the opponent, leaving less than fifty percent.
When your power erupts, the oppression of the laws and the resistance of space will invisibly drain most of your strength.
It's like when you strike with all your might—even tiny bullets, even a slight touch will drain a lot of your power.
Especially at the very moment an attack is launched, power begins to leak out. Even a slight leak can greatly weaken the final burst of power.
Try slashing once! Luo Zichuan said.
"Boom!"
Long Chen swung his blade, the void surging, air currents surging. A blade shadow pierced through heaven and earth, carving a chasm tens of thousands of miles deep and bottomless, its momentum astonishing.
After witnessing Long Chen's strike, Luo Zichuan shook his head: "You have all the strength you possess, but you don't know how to use it. It seems last time I taught you was for nothing."
Although you are rejected by the Heavenly Dao, not all Heavenly Daos reject you. Last time, when you drew your blade, you already found some sensations, but now those sensations have completely disappeared.
Your power has grown stronger, and you have started trying to suppress the Heavenly Dao again. As a result, the Heavenly Dao becomes your resistance. It's like wielding a long blade in water—the greater your power, the greater the suppression. "
I understand,"
Long Chen said somewhat embarrassed. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and focused, calming his mind. After a moment, he struck down with his blade once again.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen struck down again, using the same force as the previous one, but this time the roar was much softer and faster than the last.
A chasm was also carved into the earth, but this one was much narrower and deeper than the previous one.
Watching Long Chen's strike, Luo Zichuan nodded and said, "You're very smart, you see through it instantly. That strike was quite impressive."
But facing the corpse demons for a while, they still weren't enough. If we couldn't deliver a decisive kill, we had no choice but to retreat immediately—they wouldn't give us a second chance.
Within this seal lies boundless power. If a corpse demon is injured, all of them will return to the seal, their injuries instantly healing, and then the eighteen corpse demons will attack you in full strength. "
Long Chen couldn't help but gasp. This seal not only restricted the intruder's cultivation but also had terrifying repair abilities. It was truly abnormal.
"Long Chen, you don't have the power of purple blood and can't control it completely. However, your soul power is extremely strong.
When you strike, don't focus on the target; focus all your attention on the blade to minimize the leakage of your breath.
This is an attack that defies common sense. It doesn't usually use against enemies, but in extraordinary times, we can only resort to extraordinary methods. Come on, let's give it a try! Luo Zichuan said.
"Sss!"
Following Luo Zichuan's instructions, Long Chen focused his mind entirely on the blade, ignoring everything else. With one slash, the void produced only a faint sound, as if a thin piece of paper had been sliced in two.
On the ground, a chasm only ten zhang wide had been carved out. Long Chen's first slash was a hundred li wide, the second only several dozen li, and the third just ten zhang wide. Long Chen suddenly understood.
The more concentrated the power, the greater the damage. The reason the ancient great demons Luo Zichuan slain suffered such wounds was precisely because of this method.
Luo Zichuan's power was highly concentrated. Even with runes, leather armor, and bones as a shield, he couldn't disperse his strength, which is why those wounds appeared like cutting tofu with a sharp knife.
Moreover, judging by Luo Zichuan's tone, if he possessed purple blood, he could increase his control a hundredfold. Even if he couldn't reach his realm, it shouldn't be close to it.
"Damn it, Long Aotian, just you wait! My things are with you, and when the time comes, you have to pay me back with interest." At this moment, Long Chen longed even more for his purple blood.
Only now did he realize how terrifying the purple blood was—not just purple blood, but also the Seven-Colored Supreme Blood, as well as his spiritual root and spiritual bone.
"Damn it, I really don't want to work hard. As long as I get my things back, I'll be invincible. What's the point of fussing around?"
Luo Zichuan's words interrupted Long Chen's wild thoughts: "Because when all your mind is focused and your soul power is concentrated on the blade, you can't lock onto the target."
So, before you start, you need to mark your target first to avoid misaligning your blade. This is fine, right? "
No problem,"
Long Chen said with great confidence. With Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er around, his chopping wouldn't be inaccurate.
"Then let's begin!"
Luo Zichuan stepped forward, and at the very moment he did, eighteen totems on the seal began to glow, and then eighteen gigantic beings burst out from within them.
"Roar!"
The beast's furious roar shook the airDeafening, eighteen fierce beasts simultaneously spewed divine light, like eighteen sharp swords stabbing at the two of them. At that moment, the terrifying pressure was so overwhelming that Long Chen couldn't move. He was locked onto and had nowhere to dodge, so he could only take it head-on.
Taking a head-on attack from eighteen Dual Extreme Supremes and cultivation at the Divine Venerable realm demon beasts—was there any chance of survival?
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Luo Clan's Zichuan moved. He formed hand seals with calm movements, and a purple blood shield formed in front of him, crashing toward the eighteen divine lights.
