Chapter 6006 Terrifying Divine Art
BOOM!
The gate exploded, transforming into sparkling specks of light. The next moment, the entire world was bathed in a sea of violet brilliance.
Everyone was shocked to see Long Chen safe and sound despite the destruction of his gate. On the other hand, the devil Sovereign Lord who had just attacked him had vanished.
“Where is he?!”
The experts of the devil race were confused. Their Sovereign Lord had mysteriously disappeared, yet his aura and the aura of his weapon still lingered in the air.
Then, a startled cry rang out.
“There are fragments of his weapon on the ground...”
Everyone’s gazes snapped to the ground, where tiny shards, no larger than a fingernail, glimmered faintly. They radiated the same energy as the Sovereign Lord’s devil truncheon.
The devil experts paled in horror as this outcome was beyond their comprehension.
Long Chen muttered, “As expected... the Heaven Blocking Shield reflects the attacker’s power. The stronger the attack, the more terrifying the backlash. Violet blood has the attributes of water—gentle on the surface, but when struck with overwhelming force, the rebound is monstrous.”
Observing the aftermath, Long Chen calmly continued, “Unlike that bull demon, this guy was so powerful that the backlash wasn’t dispersed. It rebounded directly onto him. That’s the only reason the bystanders survived.”
That bull demon Sovereign Lord hadn’t struck hard enough. Thus, the resulting backlash was weak and scattered, flattening the nearby city instead of hitting him head-on.
In other words, the stronger the attack, the more concentrated and stronger the backlash was. The devil Sovereign Lord had, quite literally, killed himself with his own attack.
What a terrifying divine art! I have to be careful in the future in case someone else has a similar technique.
Long Chen’s heart shook. Facing off against such a technique would be frightening.
However, the Heaven Blocking Shield had still shattered. Whether it had reached its limit or was simply not yet perfected, Long Chen wasn’t sure. Either way, there was room for improvement.
Before the remaining two Sovereign Lords could rebound from their shock, two figures silently emerged behind them.
Two spears—one wreathed in lightning, the other in blazing flame—pierced through their skulls.
Lei Linger and Huo Linger had already transformed. Now, even Sovereign Lords couldn’t survive a surprise attack from them.
Huo Linger could now control the Yan Xu Flame, which contained Yan Yang’s Sovereign qi. If it struck someone in a vital spot, they wouldn’t survive no matter what.
As for the reborn Lei Linger, her mastery of thunderforce had reached unprecedented heights. She could compress it to a terrifying degree, amplifying its explosive power a hundredfold when unleashed. Ever since absorbing the Divine Blood Lightning Phoenix’s core energy, her thunderforce had gained some kind of divine quality—one even Sovereign qi struggled to resist.
In truth, the moment Long Chen declared his intent to decimate the entire city, Huo Linger and Lei Linger had spread their elemental domains across the entire battlefield.
In essence, the battlefield had become their territory. Within it, they could appear anywhere at will.
When Long Chen killed the first Sovereign Lord, the remaining two were too fixated on him to notice the danger creeping up behind them. And in that instant of distraction, they paid the ultimate price.
After Long Chen had tossed all the corpses into the primal chaos space, Huo Linger looked at him.
“Big brother...” she murmured, her voice trembling with emotion, but she didn’t finish her sentence.
Long Chen simply nodded.
With his silent approval, Huo Linger and Lei Linger reached toward one another.
“Lighting Flame Heaven Destroyer!”
Their voices rang out in unison as their palms met. The next instant, a storm of lightning and fire engulfed the entire city.
Everything—stone, steel, flesh, bone—was incinerated in an instant. Even Sovereign sprouts had no ability to resist.
With one joint attack, the city vanished. All that remained was a massive, bottomless pit.
Long Chen gazed at the pit in silence, a flicker of shock flashing in his eyes. Huo Linger and Lei Linger had finally reached this level.
From now on, they would truly be his left and right arms.
He took out a formation disc, confirmed his direction, and disappeared in a flash of light.
...
Hours later, several furtive figures appeared in the vicinity. When they saw the gaping void where the city once stood, smelled the lingering blood in the air, and felt the residual Sovereign qi covering the land—they froze, utterly stunned.
“He... he really decimated the whole city...” someone muttered, their voice trembling.
These were the same people who had once lined up outside the city. They had returned, and what they saw left them shaken to the core.
They had been certain Long Chen would die. But instead, the city was gone, and the three Sovereign Lords had been slain.
“When did such a terrifying figure appear in our race?”
“What was his name? I’ve never heard it before.”
“He said Boss Long San. Who is that?”
Their voices were filled with disbelief. Even as they stood amidst the aftermath, they struggled to accept it. It felt like a dream.
“He’s strong, yes, but doing this only enrages the devil race. The human race is already suffering, and now he’s invited even greater disaster. How many more will die because of him?” one person murmured, shaking his head.
“Why didn’t you say that while he was still here? You didn’t dare, did you?” another sneered.
“No matter what, he fought for the human race. Speaking ill of him now is disgraceful.”
“Exactly. If more people like him existed, we wouldn’t be oppressed and slaughtered like ants.”
Voices rose in defense of Long Chen. The critic fell silent, snorting disdainfully, but he couldn’t shake the sense of unease. The devil race would definitely seek revenge, and none of them would be able to stop it.
“The city’s gone. We can’t use the transportation formation. Guess we’ll have to walk,” someone sighed.
Originally, they had hoped to use the city’s transportation formation to return in time for the coming tribulations. Now, they had no choice but to travel on foot.
As they dispersed, news of what had transpired spread with them.
And with it, the name Boss Long San once more echoed across the nine heavens.
