Chapter 6003 Heaven Blocking Shield
A horned demon expert launched a vicious strike, his spear aimed directly at Long Chen’s back with all his might.
However, when the tip was just half a foot away, it abruptly stopped, locked down firmly by a single hand.
“Oh? You have some skill! Everyone, attack together!” shouted the demon, surprised by the immense power hidden beneath Long Chen’s seemingly ordinary aura.
Four more peak Heaven Saints surrounded Long Chen. Without hesitation, they unleashed their attacks simultaneously.
Seeing these demon experts simply attacking on sight with the intent to kill, Long Chen was enraged.
If they were trying to rob him, that would at least make some sense. But there was no such motive. In their eyes, he was simply an ant in their way—something to crush underfoot without a second thought.
When did the demon race become so arrogant? Since when did they start slaughtering humans the moment they saw one?
A flash of violet divine light erupted from Long Chen. In the blink of an eye, all four attackers exploded into blood mist.
They were nothing more than ordinary Heaven Saints. To Long Chen, they truly were ants. Their ambush had only served to stir his wrath.
Seeing his comrades dead, the first attacker instantly turned pale. He dropped his spear and tried to flee. However, as he did so, Long Chen raised his finger.
A beam pierced straight through the demon’s head.
“Soulsearch!”
Long Chen’s spiritual energy surged through the demon’s body, delving into his memories—and what he found made his blood boil.
Within those fragmented images, he saw humans being butchered mercilessly—men, women, the elderly, even children.
“Human! How brazen! You dare kill experts from my race? Today—”
A furious voice rang out from a distance, and more experts from within the city came charging toward Long Chen. Among them was a Sovereign sprout.
But before this Sovereign sprout could even finish his sentence, a spear flashed and appeared before him.
Startled, this Sovereign sprout hastily summoned a shield—
BOOM!
That shield was instantly blown to bits. The Sovereign sprout coughed up blood as his arm was blown clean off.
The elites who had followed him were horrified by the sudden turn of events. The Sovereign sprout, however, had the good sense to flee immediately.
But as he ran, he heard their shocked cries. Then, the world suddenly twisted upside down, and he saw his own body falling to the ground.
“AH!”
He let out a miserable scream, realizing that his head was in Long Chen’s hand.
Suddenly, the sky trembled, and a terrifying Sovereign pressure descended—it was a Sovereign Lord.
He hadn't even arrived physically, but his Sovereign might had already locked onto Long Chen.
“You dare kill members of my demon race...” an ancient voice boomed with fury.
Long Chen responded by clenching his fist, crushing the Sovereign sprout’s head into a pulp.
He had originally intended to soulsearch the Sovereign sprout, but the Sovereign Lord’s threat irritated him. So he didn’t bother.
“Courting death!”
The Sovereign Lord had just started to speak, trying to intimidate Long Chen into releasing the Sovereign Sprout. But Long Chen casually killed the sprout in a split second, enraging the Sovereign Lord.
BOOM!
The void exploded as Sovereign qi erupted. A giant hand tore through the fabric of space, slamming down with world-ending might. Everything around warped under the Sovereign Lord’s full-force strike.
“Violet Blood Infinity-One – Heaven Blocking Shield!”
Violet qi burst from Long Chen. Millions of violet runes condensed into the form of a shield. It was like an ancient gate, with the character “One” locking it like a divine bolt.
If the four mountain lords were present, their jaws would drop in disbelief. This was Qingyu’s trump card: the legendary Heaven Blocking Shield.
The Heaven Blocking Shield was one of the violet blood race’s high-level techniques, but it wasn’t considered a secret art. However, Qingyu had spent tens of thousands of years modifying it, perfecting it into an extraordinary defensive technique—so much so that it was known as the Qingyu Heaven Blocking Shield within the Violet Cloud Pavilion.
Thanks to Sovereign Mountain’s blessing, Long Chen had gained insight into the techniques of all the experts who practiced the Infinity-One Technique. During that moment, every technique they knew had been imprinted into his mind.
But understanding a technique and mastering it was very different. Everyone had their own unique style, born from centuries of bitter cultivation. That level of polish couldn’t be copied instantly.
Still, this was where the power of the Infinity-One Technique revealed itself. It was a technique that allowed the user to harness all others—one Dao to control ten thousand Daos.
No matter how enormous a tree grew or how many leaves it sprouted, ultimately, every leaf could be traced back to the source, no matter how dazzling it appeared. All the branches ultimately connected to the same trunk.
The violet blood race’s divine arts, cultivation methods, and battle skills were all variations of the same root. Without the Infinity-One Technique, it would take Long Chen a hundred thousand years to master them all.
But now, with it, he could condense all the complicated techniques into one, turning the complicated into the simple.
And now, facing a Sovereign Lord, Long Chen used Qingyu’s most refined technique. This was his way of testing the true potential of the Infinity-One Technique.
BOOM!
As the hand slammed into the radiant gate of runes, a massive shockwave erupted, obliterating the city in an instant. Countless demon experts were vaporized on the spot.
The Sovereign Lord’s face contorted in rage. He had expected to kill Long Chen with that palm, but his power rebounded off Long Chen’s impenetrable shield, killing his own kin instead.
“AHH!”
With a crazed howl, flames exploded from the Sovereign Lord. He detonated his Sovereign qi and transformed into a towering, wild bull.
They were all from the bull demon race. They had massacred the city’s previous inhabitants and claimed it only days ago. And now, it was ruined.
Furious and bloodthirsty, the Sovereign Lord stamped down on the void, crushing it beneath him. Like a meteor, he charged toward the Heaven Blocking Shield.
BOOM!
The sound was deafening.
The shield remained intact—utterly unscathed, but the bull demon was left dazed and mangled, his horns shattered.
Bang!
A massive cloud of dust surged into the sky as his immense form crashed into the earth.
Long Chen blinked in surprise.
The Sovereign Lord had passed out.
