Chapter 5217 Waning Moon Shakes Heaven and Earth
BOOM!
When Evilmoon appeared, Long Chen’s astral energy surged into it, causing it to quiver. A sinister qi then exploded, like an ancient devil awakening from slumber.
“Evilmoon?” Long Chen was startled. He hadn’t expected Evilmoon to awaken at this moment. Its timing was really perfect.
“Long Chen, it’s time to show you my true power. Come, shout with me: Waning Moon Shakes Heaven and Earth!”
“Waning Moon Shakes Heaven and Earth!” Without hesitation, Long Chen directly shouted it.
As the words left Long Chen's mouth, Dragonbone Evilmoon blazed with light. The crescent moon on the blade’s edge shone like a waning moon, and the entire world trembled as it appeared.
Two dragon marks appeared on Evilmoon’s sides, with their heads pointed directly at the crescent moon on the blade. Evilmoon seemed freed of all its restraints, and an overwhelming killing intent exploded from it.
BOOM!
With a single slash, Evilmoon tore through the air. The Chess Sect expert’s sword, which had clashed with it, instantly shattered. The saber’s momentum didn’t stop there—it sliced the Chess Sect expert clean in half, killing him on the spot. Everyone watching was stunned.
A Human Emperor had been killed in a single strike. Before the power of Evilmoon, the expert’s Human Emperor divine sword was no more than a fragile toy.
After killing the Chess Sect expert, Long Chen was about to charge at the Zither Sect woman, who was closest to the barrier. Just then, Evilmoon spoke again, “After sleeping for so long, do you think you can just gaze upon me? Point the tip of the saber at her and repeat after me: Waning Moon Pierces the Dome of the Heavens!”
“Waning Moon Pierces the Dome of the Heavens!” Long Chen shouted, pointing the tip of the saber at the Zither Sect woman.
Evilmoon quivered, and the waning moon on the edge of the saber blazed with intense light. A crescent moon shot out, crossing the void to strike the woman. It happened so quickly and bizarrely that she had no time to react. The attack obliterated her body, reducing her to nothing more than a cloud of blood mist.
The waning moon didn’t just destroy her; it also sliced her zither in two. The broken zither flew about in the air, its strings letting out an ear-piercing wail.
Against Evilmoon, a Human Emperor stood no chance. In the blink of an eye, two Human Emperors had perished. Seeing their comrades fall, the remaining experts attacking the barrier hesitated, their resolve faltering.
Realizing he was the last man standing, the Celestial expert knew he couldn’t win, so he turned to flee. However, a chilling killing intent locked onto him as Long Chen raised Evilmoon. When it fell, the starry sky seemed to quiver, and heaven and earth were split in two.
The Celestial race expert was obliterated by the massive Saber Qi. He wanted to escape, but he wasn’t even given the chance.
BOOM!
Just then, the Eight Domain Divine Diagram exploded, and the eight Human Emperors coughed up blood. They were sent flying by a terrifying qi wave.
“Palace master!”
The palace master had broken free of his seal. At this moment, they realized that his cultivation base had risen from a nine-vein Heaven Saint to a half-step Human Emperor.
“Die!” The palace master roared, slamming his hands together. Enormous dragon claws appeared and clapped together, shattering the void like glass and trapping the eight Human Emperors within them.
BOOM!
To Long Chen’s shock, the palace master’s attack contained immense Emperor might. Though only a half-step Human Emperor, his aura was far more powerful than that of the other Human Emperors.
At first, Long Chen thought the eight Human Emperors were crushed by the attack, but what was blown apart was actually the palace master’s dragon claws.
The palace master suddenly spat out blood and looked toward a certain object held by one of the Human Emperors. His eyes were wide with disbelief.
“Sovereign qi,” Long Chen muttered, his heart shaken as he recognized the item—a small piece of white jade.
“Sovereign jade?!”
Long Chen had seen something similar before when he and Mo Nian escaped the Chess Sect and Brahma Pill Valley’s pursuit. The Chess Sect expert had traded a fragment of Sovereign jade for Brahma Pill Valley’s favor, allowing three thousand of the Chess Sect’s disciples to enter Pill Valley’s secret realm.
The piece of jade from that time was the size of a peanut, while this fragment was as big as a baby’s fist, perfectly white and glossy like jade. Though it lacked runes, it seemed to contain the power of an entire cosmos, vast and eternal, yet somehow familiar to Long Chen.
Suddenly, the Brahma Divine Diagram in the sky fled from the High Firmament Divine Sword and shot toward the eight Human Emperors.
“You think you can run?! Keep dreaming!” Long Chen roared, slashing with Evilmoon. He didn’t care that the Brahma Divine Diagram contained endless faith energy, and he struck with all his might.
The impact blew Long Chen’s arms to pieces, the powerful backlash nearly knocking him unconscious. However, his strike had managed to cut the Brahma Divine Diagram, leaving a deep gash in it.
Just as Long Chen struck the Brahma Divine Diagram, the palace master launched his own attack. His fists were covered in black dragon scales and repeatedly struck those Human Emperors, destroying their weapons one by one.
In the blink of an eye, seven Human Emperors lay dead. Just as the palace master charged toward the final one, the elder raised the Sovereign jade and swung it down, causing the void to split apart. A mysterious energy then knocked the palace master back.
Just then, the High Firmament Divine Sword descended, slashing through the Brahma Divine Diagram. The latter’s divine radiance dimmed. After withstanding Long Chen’s strike and then being slashed by the High Firmament Divine Sword, the Brahma Divine Diagram was on the verge of breaking down.
Ignoring the Brahma Divine Diagram, Long Chen shot toward the elder with Evilmoon in hand.
“Scram!” The elder raised the Sovereign jade, using the tiny piece of jade to strike Evilmoon.
BOOM!
The impact sent Evilmoon flying from Long Chen's grasp. Blood sprayed from Long Chen’s mouth as the elder remained unscathed.
“Die!”
Delighted by this, the elder formed a series of hand seals, intending to use the Sovereign jade to end Long Chen’s life. But as Long Chen spat out blood, some of it landed on the Sovereign jade, causing the latter to shake and float in the air. The elder was horrified to discover that he could no longer control the jade with his faith energy.
Long Chen didn’t know what was happening, but seeing the Sovereign jade floating there, he didn’t hesitate. He grabbed it and, holding it tightly in his fist, punched the elder in the chest.
BOOM!
The elder exploded, leaving a massive hole in the void. Silence fell over the battlefield, and even Long Chen was shocked by the devastation caused by this one punch.
