Chapter 6557 Eight Gate Soul Burial
The black liquid poured from the spatial tear like molten hellfire. From afar, it looked like a black waterfall that drowned the holy land below.
In an instant, the wonderland filled with spiritual qi became hell on earth. Vegetation and the earth decayed. Even the air itself was devoured by a strange law that snuffed out life.
In contrast, Long Chen stood there, his white robes untouched by the slightest impurity. They swayed gently in the wind.
However, his eyes were as black as ink, like black holes that could devour all of heaven and earth.
He was like a high and lofty death god looking at all the lives he was about to reap. It was like everything and everyone had to kneel before him.
“A half-step Sovereign Lord? Kill him!”
A furious roar rang out. Then, a peak Sovereign Lord shot forward, six quintessence Sovereign bodies flaring into existence behind him.
A sixth Heavenstage Sovereign Lord—this was the ceiling of power in the current world. Every additional Sovereign body that a Sovereign Lord condensed would multiply their power, but it also demanded ceaseless consumption to maintain.
In the nine heavens, those who possessed three Sovereign bodies were already regarded as apex experts wherever they went. As for stronger experts, such beings existed, but they were like living fossils and would not reveal themselves lightly.
Stronger Sovereign Lords had to stay in seclusion within special environments. The moment they stepped into the outside world, its thin spiritual qi tore at them constantly, draining their strength and lifespan.
They were like a block of ice. During the cold of winter, they could go out and do whatever they wanted with no problem.
But in summer, they would quickly melt away into nothingness.
In this era, after condensing four Sovereign bodies, a cultivator’s internal spiritual qi density far outstripped what heaven and earth could provide. Staying outside too long would strip their essence clean.
Thus, these living fossils spent their time locked away in seclusion. Unless absolutely necessary, they never left their sects. After all, every moment spent outside was a slow death.
Fortunately for them, the world’s spiritual qi was growing denser by the day. As a result, some experts on this level started to show themselves more, as it was no longer so draining to go out in public.
However, such experts usually operated only within the protective formations of their sects. After all, they still found it hard to adapt to the new world, and they were their sects’ ultimate trump cards, not to be revealed lightly.
Existences like this had been in seclusion for countless years, which made them irritable.
Now that Long Chen had killed two divine sons and even mentioned that he would destroy this holy land, the old elder didn’t even care about anything else. He directly charged at Long Chen without hesitation.
“Your body’s already rusty, and your law power is also weak. Who gave you the courage to challenge this lord?” The white-robed Long Chen snorted and clenched his fist.
As black qi condensed into the fist, the world shuddered. This elder with six Sovereign bodies was shocked to find that he couldn’t move. He could only watch as that black hand approached him.
Blood exploded. This elder and his six Sovereign bodies were crushed to bits.
With one clench of his hand through space, the white-robed man had killed a Sovereign Lord with six Sovereign bodies. That stunned all the experts of the holy land.
At this moment, more of that black lava gushed over this region. Wherever it went, all life ended. Even areas protected by formations were destroyed in an instant.
Some disciples in cultivation rooms didn’t even have time to flee. That black lava mercilessly devoured them and turned them to ash.
Chaos reigned through the holy land as alarms blared. Countless experts in seclusion down below were forcibly dragged out.
When they saw the black lava filling the holy land, they were all dumbfounded. This was one of the Brahma line’s three major holy lands. How could it suffer such a devastating blow?
“Use the divine statues’ power to kill him!” shouted an elder.
These people quickly reacted. No wonder Fan Ji and Ye Xun, who had the Daynight Furnace and Brahma Divine Diagram’s protection, would be crushed in battle. So, this white-robed Long Chen was truly terrifying.
Although he was only a half-step Sovereign Lord, the law power he controlled was beyond their comprehension.
“Great Divine Venerate Brahma, bestow me your supreme power!”
The irritable elder formed hand seals, and eight Sovereign bodies ignited behind him. He was the one in charge of the holy land. If it weren’t for Fan Ji and Ye Xun appearing in such a terrible condition, no one would have dared to disturb him.
Now his eight Sovereign bodies burned furiously. The two divine statues flared with dazzling light as vast streams of faith energy surged into him.
He lifted a white staff. A milky-white sword of light condensed at its tip and shot toward Long Chen.
Long Chen carelessly swung Evilmoon. This completely casual attack caused a streak of blood-colored light to tear through space, shattering that light-sword.
On the other hand, blood sprayed from the mouth of the elder. He stared at Long Chen in horror.
The white-robed Long Chen simply looked over the unending stream of the Brahma line’s experts showing up. He smiled.
“Hmph, fighting the Heaven Earth Cauldron for so long has exhausted quite a bit of my energy. I can replenish some here.”
“Purgatory Gates—Open! Eight Gate Soul Burial!”
The eight-color divine ring appeared, and eight black gates opened. Those eight gates were like eight fiendish mouths devouring the black qi within heaven and earth.
As the black qi was devoured, ear-piercing wails that gave people shivers rang out.
Then, they realized... that there were some indistinct figures struggling within that black qi.
These were the Yuan Spirits of those devoured by the black lava. Furthermore, these Yuan Spirits had their full power sealed within them.
They howled in anguish as they struggled against the black qi, but they couldn’t escape their fate of being devoured. These Yuan Spirits were all delivered into the black gates.
As the black gates devoured their Yuan Spirits, Long Chen’s aura slowly rose. His exhausted power was rapidly replenished.
“How dare you use such despicable means to devour the disciples of Brahma?! Are you not afraid of retribution?!” The elder with that white staff roared furiously.
Long Chen slowly raised Evilmoon. Evilmoon buzzed, and countless blood-colored runes lit up on its body. A bloodthirsty and wild aura filled the air.
“You talk a lot for a dead person!”
An enormous blood-colored blade slashed down toward the Brahma line’s experts with no mercy.
