Chapter 6004 Boss Long San, the City Slaughterer!
Long Chen stared at the unconscious Sovereign Lord, stunned.
“Mountain lord Qingyu, how is your technique so strong?” Long Chen muttered.
This made no sense to him. The Heaven Blocking Shield had only deflected the first attack away, not causing such devastation.
Long Chen had only intended to experiment with how the Infinity-One Technique could channel the violet blood race’s arts, while also gauging the Heaven Blocking Shield’s capabilities for future use. He had even braced himself for the shield to shatter under pressure. But clearly, there was no need for him to bother.
The shield still floated in the air, encased in a violet glow. Though covered in cracks, they were rapidly mending.
What shocked Long Chen most was that the shield wasn’t draining his energy to recover. Instead, it was drawing from the very heavens and earth to repair itself.
Could it be... the Heaven Blocking Shield rebounds stronger the more powerful the attack it endures?
Long Chen’s eyes gleamed with realization. His understanding of mountain lord Qingyu’s technique had deepened.
This technique is amazing. I need to study it more carefully!
This discovery thrilled him. Moreover, Qingyu had many other techniques besides this one, and there were even more techniques left behind by the other mountain lords and heavenly geniuses of Sovereign Mountain. Now, thanks to the Infinity-One Technique, they were all within Long Chen’s grasp.
Still, while he could imitate their techniques, mastering the finer details and unlocking their full potential would require time and practice.
After pondering for a while, Long Chen decided to deal with the Sovereign Lord first.
He pulled out Evilmoon Blade and plunged it through the bull-headed Sovereign Lord’s skull, killing him cleanly. In truth, such a swift death was a mercy for him.
From the way this city changed masters, Long Chen felt that the world had indeed transformed for the worse. He couldn’t even be bothered to interrogate the demon race’s experts.
The battle had already ruined the city, and the transportation formations had been destroyed before Long Chen arrived. Whether the humans had done so to prevent the demon race experts from profiting from them, or the demons had done it to isolate the city, Long Chen wasn’t sure.
Fortunately, Long Chen still had the map from his earlier travels. It showed nearby cities with teleportation formations. Also, he still had several formation discs from Xia Chen, which could roughly transport him in the desired direction. From there, he could find a city with a functioning transportation formation.
Activating a disc, Long Chen stepped into a teleportation array and vanished.
When he reappeared, he found himself standing amidst ruins. The battle here had ended, but the thick scent of blood still hung in the air. Grief and resentment lingered like a shadow.
Looking around, Long Chen realized this territory had once belonged to a medium-sized human sect. Now, it was flattened, reduced to rubble. Only a few ruined bases remained to hint at what it used to be.
“Devil race’s aura...”
His face darkened. The lingering aura in the air was unmistakable.
After all, Long Chen had slain countless devil experts—he would never forget this foul energy.
As he turned, a vein throbbed on his forehead. Not far off, a mountain of headless human corpses piled up there. Their heads were scattered like garbage around the area.
Even Long Chen, who had seen his share of blood, found his killing intent surging. The Evilmoon Blade buzzed behind his back.
This wasn’t just slaughter. It was a message... a declaration of war.
Just before this, Long Chen saw the demon race experts take over a human city. Now, the devil race experts had annihilated a human sect. The world was changing, and it was doing so with cruelty.
The earth split all around Long Chen. With a solemn expression, he buried the dead.
After he was done, lightning wings crackled behind him, and he shot off with Evilmoon Blade on his back.
The law of the jungle had returned in full force. While it had always existed, most of the cultivators had at least been restraining themselves in the past. But now, with the resurgence of spiritual qi and the upheaval of the nine heavens, those restraints were gone.
The various races once more bared their fangs, no longer pretending any longer.
“Do you really think you can enslave the human race?” Long Chen muttered through gritted teeth.
Two hours later, a city appeared in the distance. It was still intact. But even from afar, Long Chen sensed chaotic auras within. Humans, demons, devils, and other unfamiliar races mingled uneasily.
As Long Chen drew closer, he saw a long line of humans waiting to enter the city. Furthermore, they were herded through side entrances like livestock. Meanwhile, members of other races walked freely through the main gate.
When Long Chen went straight for the main gate, one of the humans waiting in line immediately shouted, “Idiot, are you crazy?! Humans can’t use the main gate! You want to die and drag the rest of us down with you?!”
Long Chen suddenly paused and looked over. The one shouting was about to keep scolding Long Chen when he suddenly froze in terror from Long Chen’s murderous gaze, swallowing his words.
“Brother,” said someone else quickly, “this city no longer belongs to the human race. It’s under joint control with the devil race. But in truth, the devils hold the real power. If we want to enter, we have to follow their rules—or we die.”
Long Chen’s gaze grew even colder. The city’s original lord had clearly surrendered to the devils. Humans weren’t even allowed to walk through the front gate anymore.
They were now treated as inferiors.
Looking at the line of subdued human cultivators, Long Chen felt a deep sorrow. Once they got used to chains, the restriction would only grow tighter. In the end, there’d be no escape.
However, he didn’t blame them. Perhaps they wanted to resist but simply had no strength left to do so.
“If you don’t want to die, then get lost!” warned Long Chen before heading straight for the main gate.
Mocking sneers rose behind Long Chen. Some even looked forward to watching him die.
As expected, the moment he approached the gate, the guards reacted. A large demon expert reached out to grab Long Chen’s throat.
The demon expert shouted, “Inferior human, do you think you’re allowed here—?!”
Crack!
Long Chen simply grabbed the demon expert’s outstretched arm and snapped it like twigs.
Before the demon could scream, Long Chen’s foot slammed into his abdomen, sending him flying. The demon then smashed into a distant building, reducing it to rubble.
Gasps rippled through the crowd. All eyes turned to Long Chen.
“Human trash, get lost if you don’t want to die! Boss Long San is about to obliterate this city!”
Long Chen’s voice rang out like a thunderclap, shaking the walls and echoing through every street and alley.
