Chapter 6008 Instantly Killed
The giant cross slammed down like the hand of the heavens, bringing with it boundless destruction. Even the world seemed to tremble before its might.
At first, the four Sovereign Lords were startled when someone cloaked in violet light suddenly charged at them. But upon seeing that it was only a Heaven Saint, they ignored him entirely.
In fact, they assumed Brightmoon City was using the little Heaven Saint as a distraction, sacrificing him to divert their attention while launching a sneak attack elsewhere.
After all, this was Brightmoon City’s domain. While they had breached its outer defenses, none of them dared guarantee there weren’t hidden formations lying in wait.
Just as their focus shifted to their surroundings in caution, Long Chen unleashed his most powerful divine ability. The God Slaying Cross, merged with the Infinity-One Technique, exploded forth. A blazing cross composed of countless overlapping “One” characters descended in a devastating strike.
Only when the attack landed did the four Sovereign Lords realize how badly they had misjudged. Panic-stricken, they immediately ignited their Sovereign flames and summoned their divine weapons. Their flames merged into a barrier of Sovereign might in a desperate attempt to defend.
But it was too late. Long Chen’s palm brought with it an aura of death.
BOOM!
The giant palm slammed into the earth, unleashing a massive shockwave. As the ground ruptured, a wave of raw power swept out, obliterating everything in its path. Divine Emperors and Sovereign sprouts alike were annihilated indiscriminately.
In front of this wave of death, no divine art, weapon, or technique could save them.
Blood sprayed into the air like blooming flowers—the end of countless lives. Before Long Chen’s might, they were as insignificant as ants.
Brightmoon City’s experts had only just charged out when they saw the tidal wave of destruction barreling toward them. Their expressions instantly turned grim.
“Retreat!” the human Sovereign Lord shouted.
He waved his hand, using his Sovereign qi to drag back those who had rushed too far forward.
They had barely made it back into the city before the shockwave struck the city’s barrier. The defensive formation shuddered violently, and the entire city trembled, its inhabitants turning pale. If the barrier failed, who knew how many would die?
Thankfully, the barrier held. And given the distance from the epicenter, the shockwave had weakened somewhat by the time it reached them.
When they looked out past the walls, their hearts froze. The terrain outside had been completely transformed into a desolate wasteland. The once-picturesque mountains were gone, flattened into ravines. The vitality of the land had been destroyed.
That one palm had annihilated the enemy.
Long Chen stood in midair at the center of the devastation, like a god of war descending upon the mortal world.
Below him lay four twisted figures, their flesh flattened and their bones shattered beyond recognition.
Even more terrifying was the sight of their Sovereign qi dissipating into the air, as if some invisible law was forcibly expelling it from their bodies.
Their Sovereign qi is stripped away...
Long Chen’s expression was icily calm, but he was shocked inside.
Sovereign qi—once the power that had given him the greatest headache. In the past, one Sovereign Lord igniting their Sovereign qi could force the entire Dragonblood Legion to risk their lives. Yet now, the God Slaying Cross, merged with the violet blood race’s Infinity-One Technique, had scattered that unstoppable force.
Without their Sovereign qi, the four Sovereign Lords were like candles in the wind. Unable to recover, even an ordinary Heaven Saint could finish them now.
“Who... who are you...?” asked one of them, looking at Long Chen in terror.
“Is there any point in asking now? You’re about to die,” Long Chen replied coldly.
At this moment, Brightmoon City’s experts came out. When they felt the destructive aura left on this battlefield, they suddenly realized what it meant to tear heaven and earth asunder.
“Cough, cough...” One of the enemy Sovereign Lords hacked up blood. Glaring at Long Chen with venom, he growled, “Don’t get too proud, human! The primal chaos war was started by your race! The ten thousand races will make you pay! Death is your only future!”
With his Sovereign qi gone, his life was slipping away by the second. Knowing he would soon die regardless, he clung to his hatred and spat his final curses.
Long Chen snorted. “You say the human race caused the primal chaos war, and that suddenly makes it true? What utter dogshit.”
Turning to the Brightmoon City experts, Long Chen said, “Who here wants to help me cut off their heads? I can’t be bothered wasting words on them.”
Four Sovereign sprouts stepped forward—three men and one woman. Without hesitation, they unsheathed their weapons.
With a flash of cold light, four heads flew into the air.
Without their Sovereign qi, the Sovereign Lords weren’t that much stronger than an average person. They died instantly, just like any other man.
Just as Long Chen was feeling regretful over the dispersed Sovereign qi, the space behind him quivered. Then, a vine extended outward, its leaves trembling slightly. It was like a whale drawing in water, sucking in the scattered Sovereign qi without leaving a single drop.
Once it had absorbed everything, the vine vanished back into the primal chaos space. Long Chen blinked. The vine could now travel freely between his primal chaos space and the outside world?
It had grown stronger after its rebirth, developing powers even Long Chen didn’t know about.
At this moment, an elderly man approached Long Chen.
“I am Weng Jinnan, Brightmoon City’s lord. I cannot thank you enough for saving us!” he said, bowing deeply.
In theory, no matter what kind of status Long Chen had, Weng Jinnan shouldn’t bow so deeply to him. But then, Long Chen had just saved the city and all its inhabitants. If Weng Jinnan didn’t bow this much, he would feel ungrateful.
But before Weng Jinnan could complete the bow, Long Chen appeared in front of him and lifted him up.
“Senior, I, Long Chen, deeply admire your courage,” Long Chen said respectfully. “You held the line in the face of death and led your people with a straight spine. That spirit—to rather break than bend—is what the human race needs most. As fellow humans, it is only right for us to be united. There’s no need to thank me. This is simply what I should do.”
“Long Chen? The Long Chen... the one on Brahma Pill Valley’s arrest warrant?!”
One of the Sovereign sprouts cried out in shock.
