Chapter 6536 Jiuli Tower
“Her blood soul energy! She’s burning her life to buy Long Chen time!”
Zi Yan’s hands drenched the entire Heavenly Devil Zither in blood. Its scale-like patterns ignited with an ominous glow the moment they were stained.
In truth, those “scales” were bone plates. They now stirred as if awakened by the scent of blood. The ancient zither let out a guttural howl, like millions of devils roaring in unison and shaking the world.
BOOM!
Hearing this, Prince Chun Yang and the others violently shuddered. An invisible force pried their hands apart and shattered their formation in an instant.
“Zi Yan...”
Meng Qi and the others felt as if blades were carving into their hearts. They desperately wanted to help Zi Yan, but under the suppression of primal chaos divine items, they couldn’t even lift a finger.
Gu Yang and the others gnashed their teeth. They wanted to fight but simply lacked the power to.
“Zither Sect, you really are foolish. If anything happens to Big Sister Zi Yan, the Dragonblood Legion will raze the Zither Sect to the ground!” Tang Wan-er roared, biting her lips so hard that blood leaked out.
However, the Zither Sect’s disciples completely ignored Tang Wan-er. Again, they formed their hand seals, and the giant Heavenly Devil Zither lit up.
The Heavenly Devil Zither was trembling in resonance. Black devil qi seeped from its strings like an awakening hell king rising from slumber.
Zi Yan held the zither down with all her strength. Her blood soul energy streamed out freely, dyed red as she fought to keep the zither from being seized.
“Haha, Long Chen has quite the luck. All these people, and they still can’t touch you? But what if you add us into the mix?”
A venomous woman’s voice slashed through the sky.
Following that, space shuddered, and another large group of people appeared. At its front was Long Biluo.
“This bitch, she killed tens of thousands of my race to take our legacy!”
“She possesses terrifying power, but instead of facing the outsider experts, she steals from her own side! Our sect’s experts were also decimated by her!”
Many of the experts of the nine heavens ground their teeth when they saw Long Biluo.
After losing to Long Chen, Long Biluo had gone berserk. She slaughtered anyone who wouldn’t give way, crushing her way through every legacy site she encountered. She was incredibly vicious and had provoked countless experts.
Just from how many people were enraged by her appearance, they could tell the number of corpses she left behind had reached an appalling level.
“The four divine clans of the nine heavens are the Long, Ye, Zhao, and Jiang clans. All four are here! Are they after Long Chen?”
“What? I heard that Long Chen has both the Jiuli bloodline and the violet race bloodline. His Jiuli blood comes from the divine clans, the Long clan! Aren’t they on the same side?”
The four divine clans were famous existences within the nine heavens. Although they were very low-key, as possessors of the Jiuli bloodline, no one dared to underestimate them.
However, this time, the four divine clans did not seem that friendly. Long Biluo looked ready to strike Long Chen without hesitation.
In their previous clash, that was understandable. After all, in front of a priceless treasure like the Earth Cauldron, bloodline relations meant nothing.
But now, the Earth Cauldron was already gone, its will fading. Soon, there would be no Earth or Heaven Cauldron—only the completed Heaven Earth Cauldron.
There was no way anyone here could subdue the true Heaven Earth Cauldron. If there was no treasure to fight over... why were the four clans still dead set on Long Chen?
“Long Chen, did you ever imagine the day would come? I suppose I can kill your subordinates first,” Long Biluo said, her smile turning feral. “I’m really looking forward to your expression when you see their corpses lined up before you.”
Last time, she had suffered a crushing defeat at Long Chen’s hands. Afterward, she had gone all-out in her cultivation. Due to her special bloodline, she needed to condense her essence rune before she could unleash the full might of many of her divine abilities.
Now, her essence rune was fully condensed, and her bloodline was active, boosting her confidence to the peak. Although she felt a few powerful fluctuations in the vicinity, she didn’t care about them.
Behind Long Biluo, within the Long clan’s camp, a beautiful woman gazed at Long Biluo apathetically.
“Long Biluo, are you sure you want to do this?” the beautiful woman asked.
“What? Long Tianrui, do you have any objections?” Long Biluo retorted, looking at Long Tianrui coldly.
Long Tianrui had the most peculiar position within the clan. She was reclusive, unwilling to stand with any faction. Normally, someone like her should have been suppressed—but her talent was monstrous. She was every bit as gifted as Long Biluo, with limitless potential.
Long Biluo had status, armies, and ambition. On the other hand, Long Tianrui was always alone. She had immense talent, but her apathetic character led her to have no desire to compete.
The higher-ups were not fond of her character, as they couldn’t groom her for the position of the clan head.
On the other hand, Long Biluo was extremely ambitious and cunning. After some tempering, she would be suitable to be the clan head.
Since Long Tianrui had no interest in that position, she posed no threat to Long Biluo. However, Long Biluo was too haughty to accept someone equally famous and equally powerful as her. As Long Tianrui dared to question her at this time, killing intent flashed in Long Biluo’s eyes.
“If you attack Long Chen, I can only choose to fight you,” said Long Tianrui expressionlessly.
“What?!”
The Long clan experts—and even the other three clans—thought they had misheard. Jian Yue’e and Feng Fei were stunned. Long Tianrui had never involved herself in anything. And now, she was standing against Long Biluo? For Long Chen?
“Senior apprentice-sister Tianrui, are you serious?!” asked one of the Long clan’s disciples.
“Long Chen is the father of my future child. Whoever wants to harm him will have to go over my dead body,” replied Long Tianrui casually.
“What?!”
“The future father of your child?”
“You two have...?”
Even Feng Fei was shocked by this statement. When did Long Tianrui and Long Chen have such a close relationship?
“You slut, how can you say something so shameless in front of everyone?! You’ve completely lost the face of the Long clan. If you wish to betray your clan for Long Chen, don’t blame me for wiping out this stain!” Long Biluo snapped.
“What is shameless about it? In this world, only Long Chen is worthy to be my man. Only he can father children worthy of becoming the greatest heavenly geniuses of this era. Long Biluo, you wish to kill Long Chen to vent your anger, not for the benefit of the Long clan. Don’t pretend otherwise. I have always been a thorn in your side, and you’ve been wanting to kill me for a long time. Why hide behind fake excuses? If you want to kill me, then come.”
Long Tianrui slowly walked out and turned around until she was standing in front of the four divine clans. As she grabbed the sword on her waist, an ancient and profound rune slowly lit up on her forehead.
Then, a majestic aura surged out of Long Tianrui, and a terrifying pressure encapsulated the entire battlefield.
Even Qian Jie, who was attacking the second barrier, was shocked.
“What powerful law power!” he exclaimed.
This pressure was just barely weaker than Yue Zifeng’s final killing strike. Qian Jie actually felt threatened. He had not expected this seemingly frail-looking woman to possess such power.
“Everyone here is a witness! Long Tianrui chose to die. So her death has nothing to do with me!” shouted Long Biluo.
Killing intent flashed through Long Biluo’s eyes. All of a sudden, she spread her arms, and the void behind her shattered, revealing a giant illusory figure.
Everyone cried out in shock when they saw it.
“That’s... the Jiuli Tower!”
