Chapter 6227 Weak Point
With a single hand, Long Chen stopped the heavenly spear. What shocked everyone even more was that he did it using only his physical strength.
The entire battlefield fell deathly silent. It was as if time itself had frozen. Even Long Biluo stood in stunned disbelief, unwilling to accept what she had just witnessed.
Where Long Chen’s astral hand touched the spear, cracks suddenly started to spread. Those fractures raced across the weapon like lightning.
BOOM!
The giant black spear crumbled, and its runes scattered through the air, falling like rain.
Long Chen was immersed in that rain, his expression apathetic, like a god looking down on the rest of the world.
Long Biluo’s eyes instantly grew cold. Black mist surged around her as she suddenly lunged—not at Long Chen, but at the innate bead behind him.
“Are you admitting defeat?” Long Chen asked.
As if anticipating this, Long Chen appeared in front of her and threw a punch.
BOOM!
Long Biluo was blown away. But in that moment, countless experts charged forward.
Even fools could tell this was the perfect time to interrupt whatever was happening inside the innate bead.
To Long Chen’s surprise, even Yun Wu was among the attackers.
“Astral Rampart!”
Long Chen snorted and waved his hand, conjuring a wave of starlight that enveloped the innate bead.
The charging experts were all forced back by the Astral Rampart’s power.
However, Long Biluo didn’t stop. She slashed at Long Chen with a sword condensed from black mist.
BOOM!
Another punch from Long Chen shattered the sword and sent her flying once more.
Seeing this, the other experts renewed their assault. With Long Chen’s focus divided between defending against Long Biluo and sustaining the Astral Rampart, its strength visibly weakened.
Under everyone’s attacks, the Astral Rampart shuddered.
“Yun Wu! You're attacking your own kind for this?!” Long Chen bellowed as he saw her attacking.
“Same kind?” Yun Wu sneered. “She’s nothing but a pet raised by a human. She dares call herself a Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow? Her inferior bloodline and weak soul aren’t worthy to cross our ancestral threshold!”
Her words made Long Chen’s expression darken.
“If you think that way, then don’t blame me for being merciless!” shouted Long Chen.
“Hmph! You’re already a marked man, Long Chen. You think you’ll leave the heaven region’s battlefield alive? Dream on!”
Yun Wu’s taunt ignited Long Chen’s killing intent. But before he could act, Long Biluo attacked again.
Forming one-handed seals, she slashed another black sword at him.
“Long Chen, let’s see how you protect that bitch now!” she snarled.
She hadn’t switched tactics or techniques. She was simply trying to wear him down and disrupt his defense of the bead.
Though cursed and unable to use her full power, she understood that Long Chen had weaknesses. That was why she gave up on a head-on fight and focused on exploiting those weaknesses instead.
If she could interrupt the legacy within the innate bead, it would affect Long Chen’s mental state. That would be her moment to strike.
Long Chen made a sudden move. He twisted his body, letting the sword strike his waist while his palm smashed into her face.
Long Biluo was sent flying, but blood started to seep from Long Chen’s side. The sword strike had landed deep.
Sharp pain coursed through him. His insides churned, and he nearly coughed up blood.
Though he knew Long Biluo was devious, this attack still caught him off guard. The seemingly normal sword had been imbued with the power of her Sovereign flames, condensed at the tip.
With Long Chen’s power split between his palm and the Astral Rampart, his body’s defenses had naturally dropped.
It was a good thing he possessed such a monstrous physical body. An ordinary person would have been blown apart.
Long Biluo had prepared herself to suffer a wound in exchange for landing that strike, but she hadn’t expected the consequences to be so severe.
Half her face was now a bloody mess. It was so bad that her bones were sticking out. She almost passed out.
“Bitch? Your whole family are bitches!” Long Chen spat through clenched teeth. Meng Qi was the woman he cherished most. Hearing Long Biluo insult her ignited his rage.
“Huo Linger, Lei Linger, protect Meng Qi and Cloud. Buy me some time,” shouted Long Chen.
At his command, the Astral Rampart vanished. In its place, a net of interwoven flames and lightning formed a new defense around the innate bead.
Lei Linger and Huo Linger unleashed their full power, summoning layer after layer of protection.
“Long Biluo!” Long Chen roared, his voice shaking this world.
The ground beneath him exploded as he launched forward. Light surged into his fist until it looked like he held a miniature sun.
Then, he smashed his fist into Long Biluo.
Her sword tried to block it but instantly shattered. Blood sprayed from her mouth as she was sent flying.
Even when wounded, she still sneered. “The Astral Hegemon Body is impressive, but you haven’t mastered it. If not for this curse, you’d already be dead. Even so, I’ll still kill you. But first—I want you to watch that bitch get torn apart, hahaha!”
Long Biluo seemed to have found one of Long Chen’s weak points. She continuously called Meng Qi a bitch, causing Long Chen’s fury to soar.
Starlight flickered beneath his feet as he vanished again. But Long Biluo had anticipated it. Her hand seals changed, black qi forming multiple defensive walls.
One by one, they were blasted apart by Long Chen.
However, Long Biluo simply retreated and continued to summon more, switching to absolute defense.
Meanwhile, the other experts saw their opportunity. With Long Chen occupied, they attacked the innate bead.
“Some pitiful thunderforce? Watch me break it!” Lei Qianlang sneered.
As a member of the Divine Blood Lightning Phoenix race, how could lightning possibly block him?
A divine phoenix image appeared behind him as lightning surged across his body. With blinding speed, he charged at the barrier.
The phoenix crashed into the flame-lightning net... but the net didn’t break. Instead, it slowly indented. Following that, a terrifying suction erupted from the net, which made Lei Qianlang’s expression change drastically.
“What?! This is... the power of my Divine Blood Lightning Phoenix race?!”
Suddenly, thunderforce within the net detonated. Chains of lightning shot out and wrapped around him.
Lei Qianlang became like a bug stuck in a spider’s web. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free.
Seeing Lei Qianlang caught, Long Chen relaxed. With the bead safe for now, he turned fully to Long Biluo—his killing intent now an inferno.
He raised his hand, condensing a radiant star into his palm.
“One Star—Star Fall!”
He roared, and the massive star ripped through space, crashing down upon Long Biluo.
