Chapter 6386 Chaos
Another man cloaked in flames appeared. The space around him twisted because of the heat, obscuring his face. However, the blazing Sovereign flames were unmistakable—like stars within the inferno.
There were 999 of them.
One flickered weakly, fading in and out, but he had indeed condensed the final flame and reached the last step.
When he appeared, a violent pressure unfurled, and an intense heat washed over the land. Even from a great distance, some experts couldn’t help but shudder, feeling like they were burning up.
They hastily fled in terror, knowing that once battle erupted, there would be no chance to escape.
“Long Chen, I hear you’re arrogant. I, Huo Yan, want to see how powerful you are with the Earth Cauldron!” he shouted. Runes swirled around his palm as he struck.
“You’ve only condensed 999 Sovereign flames. You aren’t qualified to fight me!”
Long Chen toyed with the golden bull horns in his hand, not even sparing Huo Yan a glance. With a flick of his finger, a lightning arrow pierced the hornless man, killing him on the spot.
Seeing Long Chen ignore his attack and kill his subordinate, Huo Yan grew even angrier. He couldn’t accept that Long Chen had his back toward him.
Just then, Cang Lu blocked Huo Yan’s path.
“You can die together!” Huo Yan roared, unleashing his attack.
Huo Yan and Cang Lu were both blasted back. But to everyone’s shock, black Sovereign flames suddenly ignited around Cang Lu.
“Heavens! Another third-step peak Human Emperor!”
No one had expected Long Chen to have such a terrifying ally by his side. No wonder he didn’t care about Huo Yan.
Huo Yan’s expression twisted. As he swung his hand, his eyes narrowed at the black Sovereign flames interwoven with dark energy.
“Who are you?! You possess dark energy! You can’t be from the nine heavens!” shouted Huo Yan.
In answer, the Bloodfiend Halberd slashed toward him. Outraged, Huo Yan summoned a flame spear, a Divine Sovereign weapon he rarely deigned to use. But against this mighty opponent, he dared not hold back.
BOOM!
Their divine weapons clashed, and flames exploded. Huo Yan was thrown from the blast, coughing up blood.
Although Cang Lu had yet to fully recover, his power was still far greater than Huo Yan, who had just condensed his 999th Sovereign flame.
Moreover, his 999th Sovereign flame was still in an embryonic state. In other words, he was not a true third-step peak Human Emperor yet.
“Complete Sovereign flames?! You aren’t from this era! Who are you?! Why betray the Primal Chaos World and collude with the nine heavens?!” roared Huo Yan.
Cang Lu ignored him and swung the Bloodfiend Halberd once more.
Seeing that Cang Lu refused to speak, Huo Yan roared, “Raging Flame Heavenly Fusion!”
Huo Yan’s flames blazed. His core flame merged with his Sovereign flames, releasing a ton of power.
He roared, “I don’t care who you are, since you’ve betrayed us, you can die with the rest of them!”
As if transforming into a flame god, Huo Yan attacked Cang Lu once again. It was as if his fire was consuming the sky.
“Big Brother Long Chen...” Huo Linger muttered.
She stealthily stuck her head out from behind Long Chen, drooling as she stared at Huo Yan’s flames.
“Don’t worry, this fellow won’t be able to flee. Let us absorb the Grand Dao qi first,” Long Chen said.
He knew Huo Linger wanted to devour Huo Yan’s core flame, but the Grand Dao qi was more precious. No one knew how long it would continue flowing, so they had to absorb it while they could.
At Cang Lu’s altar, Long Chen had absorbed a great deal of Grand Dao qi, to the point that his body was saturated and he could not absorb any more.
Now, as it digested, he could take in more. He couldn’t miss this opportunity.
Though Long Chen and Cang Lu could join forces to slay Huo Yan quickly, an expert at this level always carried life-preserving cards. If Huo Yan fled, and they failed to seize the Grand Dao qi, it would be a double loss.
Cang Lu no longer held an overwhelming advantage, but Huo Yan couldn’t defeat him either. This meant, if Huo Yan had to fight the peak version of Cang Lu, he would only survive a handful of exchanges.
Long Chen was in no rush to kill Huo Yan. He instructed Cang Lu to drag out the fight, exhausting Huo Yan while feeding him a faint hope of victory.
While Cang Lu was holding Huo Yan back, over ten other figures rushed at Long Chen. All of them had 998 Sovereign flames.
However, their final Sovereign flames looked very fragile. Clearly, they had just made their breakthrough recently.
“Ants. Even looking at you irritates me.”
Before Long Chen could lift a hand, blood-colored petals filled the sky. They streaked through the air, slicing the attackers to pieces. Evilmoon had finally lost patience.
Carried by the petals, Long Chen stepped to the volcano’s mouth.
This had been Huo Yan’s spot, but Long Chen occupied it now. It seemed that he had slain all of Huo Yan’s subordinates.
Once Long Chen got here, he saw that many factions had occupied their own territories around the volcano’s mouth. It was simply Huo Yan’s bad luck that his territory happened to be on Long Chen’s path.
Long Chen couldn’t help but frown slightly. To his surprise, several of these factions were from the nine heavens. He hadn’t expected the two opposing sides to coexist peacefully here, each quietly cultivating without conflict.
Originally, Long Chen had assumed that all experts here would be outsiders. He had been preparing to unleash a massacre, but this sight made him hesitate.
“Ignore them for now. The Grand Dao qi here has reached its peak, and it will fade soon. Don’t start a fight,” transmitted the Earth Cauldron.
“Alright, then I’ll let them live a bit longer.”
Long Chen chose to listen to the Earth Cauldron’s advice. He sat down and started to absorb the Grand Dao qi.
When this Grand Dao qi poured into his body, the Starry Sky Battle Robe automatically ignited. A fiery pain spread across Long Chen’s skin.
This Grand Dao qi... is helping me rapidly brand down the Starry Sky Battle Robe?
It was such a pleasant surprise. Once this process was complete, he would have the fully awakened Starry Sky Battle Robe, capable of unleashing its true power.
However, just as Long Chen started absorbing the Grand Dao qi, a sharp killing intent manifested around him. A sharp sword slashed toward him without warning.
