Chapter 6559 Divine Throne
“Long Chen, I will definitely kill you!” Long Can roared.
The white-robed Long Chen’s “praise” set her fury ablaze.
Calling her foolish was the one insult she could not tolerate—because Le Xing had always used that very word on her. She had come here to save everyone, yet Long Chen had used her own attack to slaughter them. It was as if she had personally helped him kill them all.
And to be fair, Long Can was truly foolish. She never stopped to think. She didn’t even question whether the Long Chen standing before her was the same one she knew. Even if she ignored his white robes, just based on his aura alone, she should have known that someone who could push the holy land to the brink of annihilation was not to be underestimated.
Originally, the holy land had been sealed by Long Chen’s black lava. But once everyone inside was slaughtered, the lava returned to him. Now the tables had turned—it was Long Can’s turn setting up a formation to keep Long Chen from escaping.
Long Can dispatched hundreds of thousands of Sovereign Lords. To reinforce the holy land, she had essentially brought every elite under her command.
She had already been humiliated by Le Xing once because of Long Chen. If Divine Venerate Brahma was displeased with her again, even her status as one of the eight divine commanders wouldn’t save her.
Within the nine heavens, the Brahma line possessed the greatest influence, spreading throughout the various lands of the world. However, the three holy lands were the foundation of the Brahma line, and she could not allow anything to happen to them.
Yet, the more one fears disaster, the more disaster invites itself.
The holy land’s experts had been massacred, and the two divine statues were crumbling, their faith energy drained dry. This kind of huge calamity was not something she could accept responsibility for.
Once the grand formation sealed the area, Long Can lifted her Divine Commander Blade. Sovereign flames roared to life as she swung her blade toward Long Chen.
“Your law power is vast, but dispersed,” the white-robed Long Chen said calmly. “Most of its strength bleeds away before it hits. You’re not a true Divine Sovereign. At best, you’re half a step into it.”
The eight gates behind him quivered, and just like that, he swung Evilmoon toward Long Can.
BOOM!
An explosive sound rang out. Both Long Chen and Long Can were knocked back several steps.
“What?!”
The experts who had come with Long Can were shocked by this result. Long Chen was capable of blocking Long Can’s full-power attack?
“You little brat, that was just a probing blow! I didn’t want to kill you too quickly, because that would let you off too easily!” Long Can shouted, gritting her teeth.
Multiple figures appeared behind her as she summoned nine Sovereign bodies. Nine was the peak, and such an existence was one in ten thousand. Achieving it demanded both prodigy-level aptitude and a mountain of resources.
Long Can’s nine Sovereign bodies unfurled like a peacock spreading its tail, forming a strange formation that sent her aura skyrocketing.
“You ant, today I’ll show you a divine commander’s true power!”
With her nine Sovereign bodies ignited, Long Can’s pressure was a hundred times greater than that of the previous elder.
At this sight, Long Chen indifferently replied, “As long as it’s not a Divine Sovereign, then everyone is an ant in front of this lord.”
“You brat, do you think you’re fit to call yourself ‘this lord’? You have no idea of the origin of that term! Die!” Long Can shouted furiously.
She suddenly accelerated, becoming one with her sword as she charged at Long Chen.
Once a person’s power reached the peak, there was no need for any fancy techniques. Absolute brute power could crush all enemies directly.
“Truly a foolish woman. Even now, you don’t know who I am. Do you think I’m the trash you could harass during his heavenly tribulation?”
The white-robed Long Chen’s expression grew colder. He stepped forward, black flames surging out of the eight gates.
All of a sudden, his aura grew explosively. If Fan Ji and the others were still alive, they would definitely warn Long Can that this Long Chen had even managed to fight off the Heaven Earth Cauldron.
The two of them started to exchange heated blows in the sky. On the seventh blow, Long Can spat out blood and went flying. Her flurry of attacks was interrupted.
“Foolish woman, your era has passed. Now, you are only an ant.”
The white-robed Long Chen lazily rested Evilmoon on his shoulder. He leisurely walked through the air as if Long Can was not a threat at all.
Just then, countless figures appeared outside the barrier—the people who had responded to the distress signal. They came from all directions.
The Brahma line’s response time was exceptionally fast. Even with the transportation formations of the holy land destroyed, they could still get here so quickly.
Apart from the Brahma line’s experts, people from other major factions were also watching. After all, this holy land was a flourishing place surrounded by thousands of ancient cities. Tens of thousands of powerful factions thrived there.
Due to the constant traffic here, this area was never suited for quiet cultivation. As a result, the true experts were placed on rotational guard duty, and no divine commander was stationed here permanently.
Part of the reason was simple: the Brahma line had gone unchallenged for far too long. They didn’t believe anyone would dare to stir up trouble here.
Another reason was the endless stream of people flocking to become followers of Lord Brahma in this area. Ceremonies and rituals were held here day after day, and they were far too troublesome for divine commanders like Long Can or Le Xing, who despised such clamor.
Both had been assigned to the other two holy lands, and because Long Can’s post was closest, she had been the first to arrive. The massive disturbance had also alarmed the surrounding factions, who rushed over as well.
When they saw the Brahma line’s holy land reduced to rubble, disbelief froze them in place. But the choking, metallic stench of blood forced them to accept the reality.
And then they witnessed one of the eight divine commanders hurled through the air by a young man only in the half-step Sovereign Lord realm. Their jaws fell open.
“Is that... Long Chen?”
They recognized the white-robed figure almost instantly, and the recognition only deepened their shock.
The one to destroy the holy land was actually Long Chen?
“Heavens... am I seeing things? Has the world gone mad?” someone whispered, rubbing his eyes.
In this case, illusion felt more believable than reality.
“Long Chen! No matter how strong you are, you will die today!”
Long Can’s heart-rending roar tore through the skies. The heavens trembled as a colossal throne materialized behind her.
“Heavens, it’s one of the eight great divine commanders’ divine thrones!”
