Protected behind by the Minglong clan's powerful figures, Minglong Amaterasu did not flee immediately; he was struggling to recover, and deep down, he still longed to kill Long Chen.
He knew he had lost, but as long as he could kill Long Chen, he still wasn't defeated. After all, sometimes the standard of victory or defeat is who survived.
He also hoped everyone could block Long Chen and buy him more time to recover, because he was a Destiny Holder and only needed to be given some time; it wouldn't take long for him to recover most of his strength.
As long as he could recover sixty to seventy percent of his strength, under the siege of everyone, he could launch a surprise attack on Long Chen and was confident he could wipe him out in one blow.
However, he never dreamed that Long Chen's recovery would be completed almost instantly, and a single pill would send him back to the peak.
So many powerful warriors were slaughtered in large groups by him, and the Underworld Dragon clan members were also slaughtered by Long Chen. The ground was littered with various corpses.
The moment Long Chen locked onto him, Minglong Amaterasu's hair stood on end, his hair standing on end, as if the Grim Reaper had been watching him.
"Buzz"
Long Chen stepped through the void, like a bolt of lightning rushing toward Minglong Amathao. At this moment, the powerful members of the Minglong clan were powerless to protect him, and his father was still bound by Ye Ling, unable to break free. At this moment, no one could save him.
A ruthless look flashed in Minglong Tianzhao's eyes. Suddenly, he thrust a finger fiercely toward his own brow.
"Pfft"
No one expected Minglong Amaterasu to self-harm; he had poked a bloody hole in his forehead.
Essence blood surged from his brow. Minglong Amaterasu suddenly pressed his palms together and murmured a spell, then his entire body was enveloped in black mist.
"Long Chen, be careful. That's the aura of the Nether Emperor—he's the son of the Nether Emperor." Suddenly, Yu Qingxuan screamed in terror.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen had already punched Minglong Amiterasu, but to everyone's shock, he couldn't break through the boundless black energy with his full-force punch. Instead, he was sent flying backward by the black mist.
Long Chen was both shocked and furious. That black aura was not the first time he'd encountered it; he had encountered it before when he saved Yu Qingxuan.
"He is the son of the Nether Emperor?" He offered himself to the Nether Emperor? When
they heard the name of the Nether Emperor's son, countless people were shocked. The so-called sons and daughters of the Nether Emperor were all seeds left in the world by the Nether Emperor.
When these children grow to a certain level, they are recalled by the Nether Emperor. However, some of the Nether Emperor's children appear passively, while others appear actively.
Some even willingly sacrificed their own children to become the sons of the Nether Emperor, hoping to obtain the Underworld Emperor's fortune and thereby change their family's fate.
These sons who voluntarily obtained the Nether Emperor's mark are all devoted followers of the Nether Emperor and will not have their power revoked by the Nether Emperor.
But if he actively sought protection from the Nether Emperor and activated the Nether Emperor's Guiding Command to protect him, it would be tantamount to sacrificing himself directly to the Nether Emperor.
"Damn Long Chen, just you wait, I will come back. When I do, I will use the power of the Nether Emperor to slaughter your entire family and wipe out your entire clan."
Minglong Tianzhao gritted his teeth, glaring at Long Chen as if he wanted to bite Long Chen to death.
At this moment, the voice of the Nether Dragon Amaterasu had changed, sounding like a primordial demon, filled with endless curses and resentment.
Amidst the swirling black energy, Minglong Amaterasu's aura completely changed. His aura became profound, distant, ancient, and grand, while another kind of power was being infused into his body.
That kind of power made people tremble with fear from the depths of their souls, and all the strong ones present trembled in fear because of it.
The Nether Emperor, the emperor of the Underworld in the chaotic era, the ruler of the Underworld's order, is the supreme existence in this world, and no one dares to oppose him.
Nether Dragon Tianzhao sacrificed himself and gained the protection of the Nether Emperor's power. Not to mention Long Chen, even a Saint would not dare touch him.
However, Minglong Tianzhao's body was slowly becoming intangible. Clearly, he had sacrificed himself as a sacrifice to the Nether Emperor, and he was about to disappear. As for where he would go, whether he would live or die in the future, no one knew.
Minglong Tianzhao's hatred was overwhelming. As the son of the Nether Emperor, unlike Yu Qingxuan, when he ascended to immortality, he could inherit the divine position under the Nether Emperor and become a deity under him.
But there is one prerequisite: reaching the realm of immortality. Yet now, he has not yet matured, and in order to seek the protection of the Nether Emperor, he sacrificed himself.
If the Nether Emperor recognizes his potential, he will inherit the position of god in the future. But if he finds him too weak, he might directly absorb him, and in that case, he will disappear forever.
So, he was filled with hatred toward Long Chen. What was once a sure thing had changed because of Long Chen. He had made his grand promises, but he had no confidence at all about whether he would survive.
Now, he could only rely on the Nether Dragon clan. After doing so much for the Underworld, even if he had no merits, he had worked hard. He hoped the Nether Emperor would give him a chance.
With the power of the Nether Emperor appearing, everyone was so terrified they didn't dare move. Even Ye Ling and the trapped leader of the Nether Dragon clan stopped moving.
"Nether Emperor?" Is it really that impressive? If I, Long Chen, want to kill someone, even the Underworld Emperor can't stop me. Long Chen shouted angrily, charging straight at the Nether Dragon Amaterasu.
"Long Chen, don't ...!"
Yu Qingxuan cried out in alarm. She too was once the daughter of the Nether Emperor, but only she knew how terrifying the power surrounding Nether Dragon Tianzhao was. Not to mention Long Chen, even a Saint would be killed.
"Hahaha, foolish human, I'm right here, come kill me!"
Minglong Tianzhao hadn't expected Long Chen to dare to charge over. He was both shocked and delighted, laughing arrogantly and deliberately provoking Long Chen.
He knew that as long as Long Chen dared to come over, he wouldn't have been blasted away. Now that the power of the Nether Emperor on him was growing stronger, if Long Chen made another move, he would surely be killed by the shock.
The power of the Nether Emperor was not his; he was merely a sacrifice and couldn't use that power. Yet he desperately hoped to see Long Chen killed by this power.
Watching Long Chen charge resolutely toward the Nether Dragon Amaterasu like a moth to a flame, at that moment, the hearts of the Dragonblood warriors leapt into their throats.
However, they didn't dare call out to Long Chen, because they knew that even if they did, it wouldn't help. Once Long Chen made a decision, no one could stop it. Shouting would only distract him.
Yu Qingxuan covered her cherry lips with her jade-like hand, tears streaming down her face. She was both angry and anxious, but she couldn't stop Long Chen.
The others who witnessed this scene were also stunned. Long Chen's bravery was terrifying. Facing the supreme existence of the Chaos Era, he dared to intervene. This required more than just courage.
As Long Chen rushed to the Nether Dragon Tianzhao, a golden lotus seed suddenly appeared above his head, enveloping him in golden divine radiance.
"Whoosh!"
A scene that terrified everyone unfolded: Long Chen's arm, wrapped in golden divine radiance, actually passed through the black light barrier and grabbed Minglong Tianzhao's shoulder.
"What?"
Dark Dragon TianzhaoHis eyes were practically popping out.
