Chapter 6073 Triple-Body Long Can
The heavenly tribulation was absorbed into the starry sea, yet Long Chen was still in a dangerous situation. His body was on the brink of collapse.
But he had no other choice.
He couldn’t just stand by and watch the Dragon Domain’s countless disciples die for him. He had to risk everything.
BOOM!
The will of destruction within the lightning rapidly disappeared as the laws inside Long Chen’s starry sea devoured it. Eventually, that destructive will collapsed entirely.
In that instant, every cultivator who had endured this tribulation erupted with a majestic Emperor aura. Multicolored divine light bloomed behind their heads.
Their Human Emperor Crowns had manifested. They had all advanced.
“Boss!”
Their joy was shattered the moment they turned to look at Long Chen.
He was drenched in blood, and lightning runes came out of his seven orifices. He was covered in dense cracks, like a porcelain vase on the verge of shattering.
Most terrifying of all, his aura had completely vanished. Even his spiritual fluctuations were so weak, looking like they would extinguish soon.
“Who’s there?!”
Yue Zifeng suddenly shouted. His sword flashed as a streak of Sword Qi tore through the void.
The heavens split like a curtain. A rune-covered palm reached through, grasping Yue Zifeng’s sharp Sword Qi.
Then, a figure appeared—one that made the Dragonblood warriors’ expressions change.
An icy-faced woman with blade-sharp eyes stood before them. Her very presence exuded the might of a Sovereign. Without even summoning her quintessence Sovereign bodies, she could send shivers down Gu Yang and the others’ spine.
She was like the master of this world. With each breath, she seemed to control the life and death of all existence.
“Long Can...”
Before their battle against the Devil Eye Water Lily race, Long Chen had warned them about the terrifying battle in the Undying Demon Forest. They had heard of Long Can and Yan Yang. But back then, Long Can had merely been an ordinary Sovereign Lord.
How did she suddenly become so terrifying?
Three streams of divine energy flowed around her body, and the pressure she released was leagues beyond any double-body Sovereign Lord they had seen.
She casually shattered Yue Zifeng’s Sword Qi, yet a look of disbelief crossed her face.
A thin line of blood had appeared on her palm. A trickle of Sovereign qi leaked from the wound.
“No wonder Long Chen is so arrogant. So one of his subordinates is a descendant of the Sword God,” Long Can said.
The moment she looked at Yue Zifeng, killing intent intensified in her eyes.
Long Can continued, “You’ve just advanced to the Human Emperor realm and could already slash through spatial energy. I can’t let you live. In fact... none of you should walk away from this alive.”
Yue Zifeng’s expression darkened. With his breakthrough, his Sword God bloodline had also awakened. His sword felt invincible. Yet, the moment Long Can appeared, all his joy was extinguished.
His sword strike, which had torn open the sky, had only caused a superficial wound on her palm.
“Xiaole, Little Nine, you have to bring Boss away! Run as far as you can!” shouted Yue Zifeng. “Wavecutter!”
His sword slashed through the void again, divine energy roaring within the attack. He had condensed the will of the Sword Dao to its utmost limit.
“You may be the Sword God’s descendant, but you're far from grown. This scrap of divine power might threaten a double-body Sovereign. But before a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord like me, it's child’s play,” Long Can sneered.
She waved her hand, and nine spatial gates materialized in front of her, layered like barriers.
When Yue Zifeng’s Sword Qi shattered gate after gate, shock flickered across Long Can’s face. She instinctively took a half-step back.
BANG!
The Sword Qi exploded against her collarbone. But even this full-power blow failed to injure her.
The Dragonblood warriors’ hearts sank.
Yue Zifeng’s sword was their sharpest weapon. While the Dragonblood Cross Slash surpassed it in overall force, it lacked the surgical precision of Yue Zifeng’s strikes.
Furthermore, Long Can was no fool. Would she really wait there and let them unleash the Dragonblood Cross Slash toward her?
“Xiaole, why haven’t you left?!” Yue Zifeng shouted.
After all, he had unleashed this attack to give Bai Xiaole a chance to flee with Long Chen.
However, Bai Xiaole and the Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox were just standing there like fools, looking too panicked to even think.
“I... I can’t. Our spatial energy... It’s not working,” said Bai Xiaole.
They had tried to teleport away with Long Chen using a pupil art, only to discover that the space around them was completely locked.
They couldn’t move at all.
The Dragon Domain’s experts were equally horrified.
Yue Zifeng’s attacks had failed, and they themselves couldn’t even twitch a muscle. Even Di Fengqing felt like an invisible hand gripped his body. With a single thought, Long Can could crush them all.
Her natural Sovereign pressure alone was enough to freeze them.
Di Fengqing’s heart sank. He had boldly proclaimed he would protect Long Chen. But now, he couldn’t even protect himself. What a joke.
Long Chen was on the verge of death after the tribulation and needed help. But instead of relief, doom descended.
Long Can’s expression was gloomy. Her collarbone bore a faint wound, and a few strands of her hair floated through the air—severed by Yue Zifeng’s sword.
This was an era of revival. Spiritual qi was returning, heralding an age for geniuses... but also for monsters.
Ancient monsters.
Thanks to Lord Brahma’s endless faith energy, Long Can had restored herself to a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord. She had once stood at terrifying heights, and as long as she accumulated enough faith energy, her return to the peak was only a matter of time.
Even so, as one of the Eight Great Divine Commanders, she couldn’t just do whatever she wanted. She was only permitted to draw upon a sliver of that divine faith because that energy was vital to Lord Brahma as well.
And yet, the moment she restored herself, she had come to kill Long Chen.
Long Chen made her feel deeply uneasy. If left alone, he would become a threat too great to contain. But even after her restoration, Yue Zifeng had managed to wound her.
Although these were superficial wounds that meant nothing to her, she still felt humiliated. With her status, how could a newly-advanced Human Emperor injure her?
“Ignorant fools. You dare stand against Divine Venerate Brahma? Only death awaits you!”
Three Sovereign bodies manifested behind her, radiating divine brilliance. Her Sovereign might erupted as she slammed her palm down upon them all.
Space twisted wildly, and a screen of light appeared, crashing into them.
Before a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord’s full power, even Gu Yang and the others felt like insects beneath a god’s hand.
BANG!
Just then, a sword appeared.
With the gentlest tap of its sheath, the descending screen of light shattered. The overwhelming pressure vanished as if it had never existed.
“The Eight Great Divine Commanders really are something. To think you’d stoop so low as to bully freshly-advanced Human Emperors... how admirable.”
The palace master appeared before them, his stalwart figure shielding the Dragonblood warriors.
