Chapter 5918 Despair
If Long Chen left, Yan Yang would have a chance to recover. Once that happened, it would be three against two again, and Liu Changtian and Liu Xihua would still die. Everything Long Chen had risked would be for nothing.
Seeing Long Chen remain stubborn as a mule, Liu Changtian cursed, “This little brat!”
The human race was infamous for their scheming, but Long Chen was the rare fool who would rather die than abandon others to save himself.
“In that case, we should die together!”
Liu Changtian’s pride was triggered upon seeing Long Chen risking his life continuously. Roaring, he ignited his Sovereign qi and charged at Long Can without a second thought.
Meanwhile, Liu Xihua was as pale as paper, but she clenched her teeth and formed hand seals. Endless willow branches filled the skies, surging toward Lian Sanqiang. Although she was even closer to exhaustion than Liu Changtian, her nature as a defensive cultivator gave her thick reserves of energy. There was no way she could kill Lian Sanqiang, but she should be able to stall him.
Both Liu Changtian and Liu Xihua were burning their lifeforce to fight. If even Long Chen was throwing everything into this battle, how could they not?
“Bastard, you’re courting death!” roared Yan Yang.
Seeing Long Chen charge at him, Yan Yang was enraged. Someone he regarded as an ant dared to attack him? He no longer cared about Long Can’s intentions. Opening his mouth, he spat out a flame sword that shot toward Long Chen.
“Divine Dragon Immolation Claw!”
An enormous dragon claw descended from the nine heavens, colliding with the flame sword in a deafening explosion. With Yan Yang weakened, their attacks ended in a draw.
However, the cost was steep. Long Chen's dragon blood power was completely exhausted with that single blow, and the scale armor over his body faded away.
“Crap!”
Long Chen’s heart sank. His instincts had warned him to preserve some dragon blood power, at least enough to maintain his Dragon Blood Battle Armor. With that, he might have been able to draw power from the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign. But now, with his dragon blood exhausted, that trump card was gone.
But at this point, it was too late to regret.
Long Chen roared, “Eight Star Battle Armor!”
A sea of stars surged into existence, with eight dazzling stars burning like miniature suns. The stars of the heavens swayed, and the ten thousand Daos rumbled. Astral light poured into Long Chen, transforming him into a battle god of the starry sky. With icy killing intent in his eyes, he charged at Yan Yang once more.
As Long Can battled Liu Changtian, she caught a glimpse of Long Chen’s transformation. Then, her pupils shrank in shock.
“This manifestation...?” she muttered.
Flames and seven-colored divine light exploded from her body as the Brahma Divine Diagram spun above her head, circulating endless divine energy.
“Damn ant! Die!” Yan Yang roared in fury.
A steel spear appeared in his hand, Sovereign qi swirling around it as he swung it down at Long Chen.
Yan Yang had finally taken out his weapon—a terrifying weapon, saturated with Sovereign power. If it struck Long Chen, not even his bones would remain. Even brushing against the Sovereign qi would mean instant death.
In his previous battle against Liu Changtian, Yan Yang hadn’t even taken out his weapon. But now, forced to draw it against a mere Heaven Saint, he was seething with fury.
Black flames surged along the spear as it smashed down toward Long Chen’s head. A suffocating sensation of death enveloped him.
“Senior!” Long Chen shouted.
“Ugh...”
The Earth Cauldron sighed helplessly and silently appeared above Long Chen’s head. Runes lit up as divine light enveloped him.
BOOM!
The spear slammed down on the Earth Cauldron—and instantly shattered.
Yan Yang’s arm shattered with it.
“What...” muttered Yan Yang, dumbfounded
His life weapon that was forged with endless care was shattered just like that... by an ancient bronze cauldron?
Fragments of the spear scattered through the air, but before they could fall, tiny black dragons appeared, devouring the fragments and dragging them into the primal chaos space.
These black dragons were Huo Linger. Infused with Sovereign runes and pure Sovereign qi, the spear was a priceless treasure and a feast for her.
Everyone was stunned, but none more so than Long Can. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“That is...” Long Can muttered, instantly recognizing this ancient cauldron. Although Long Chen had previously revealed the Demon Moon Cauldron, Long Can instantly recognized this one was different.
She was no fool... As one of the Eight Great Divine Commanders, and someone who had spent a lifetime among rare flames and legendary cauldrons, how could she not recognize the supreme treasure that countless alchemists would kill for?
The Heaven Earth Cauldron...
At that moment, an overwhelming greed burst forth from her heart. Heaven Earth Cauldron posed a fatal attraction to any alchemist, and Long Can was no exception.
“Star Ocean—God Slaying Cross!”
Long Chen's palm lit up with a blazing cross of condensed starlight. Without hesitation, he slammed it into Yan Yang’s chest.
BOOM!
Yan Yang’s chest exploded, and his body was torn into four bloody parts by the starry cross.
“Huo Linger!” Long Chen shouted.
Huo Linger instantly came out and devoured half of Yan Yang’s body, trying to drag it back into the primal chaos space.
“Damn you! Fuck off!” shouted Yan Yang.
Even after being split in four, Yan Yang didn’t die. He struggled to pull his four body parts together.
However, as his upper body merged, his lower body was devoured by Huo Linger and dragged into a black hole behind Long Chen.
Huo Linger was already halfway inside the primal chaos space, pulling with all her might.
Unfortunately, Yan Yang was too powerful, and Huo Linger couldn’t resist his pull. Rather than dragging him into the primal chaos space, Huo Linger was being pulled outward.
BOOM!
With a pained cry, Huo Linger spat out half her haul, lightening the burden. Coiling herself tightly, she managed to drag a leg into the primal chaos space.
“AHH!” Yan Yang screamed, his aura plummeting.
His previously mighty Sovereign qi, once a raging river, was now a trickling creek. It could no longer even fill a washbasin.
Having his body be devoured was a huge blow to Yan Yang. He almost went insane.
Meanwhile, like a hungry wolf, Long Chen pounced once more for the kill.
Right now, Yan Yang was weaker than ever. His Sovereign aura was a shadow of its former self—all because of a small ant. Rage, humiliation, and desperation twisted his face.
“I WILL KILL YOU!” roared Yan Yang.
Suddenly, a black rock appeared in Yan Yang’s hand, radiating an eerie glow over heaven and earth. Within it, it was possible to see countless swirling humanoid figures.
This rock contained a world of its own, filled with countless lifeforms with similar auras to Yan Yang himself.
Suddenly, he crushed the black rock, and the lifeforms inside transformed into blood mist.
As their lives were extinguished, Yan Yang’s aura soared wildly. Terrifying Sovereign qi erupted from him, forming a storm that blasted Long Chen backward before he could even get close.
“...It’s over.”
The Earth Cauldron sighed again as it quietly retreated into Long Chen’s spiritual space.
