Chapter 6613 Heaven Earth Refuse to Lend Power
The Lifehunter race’s Divine Sovereign was finally forced to abandon his assassination arts.
A sharp aura erupted from his body as law runes surged forth, twisting heaven and earth.
Long Chen’s Star Cloud Steps had rendered his movement art completely useless. No matter how he moved or hid, Long Chen always found him. He had already suffered several injuries as a result.
For an assassin, losing in movement art was the same as losing their foundation. Left with no other choice, this Lifehunter assassin had to bring out the strength of a Divine Sovereign.
Assassins always used skill to assassinate their target, concentrating their power to their peak as they attacked, delivering death at the smallest cost.
Their skill was built upon movement arts that were ghostlike yet lightning-fast. But before the evolved Star Cloud Steps, that foundation had crumbled entirely.
To the Lifehunter Divine Sovereign’s shock, he was completely unable to grasp Long Chen’s movement art. It was as if Long Chen was in control of the entire battlefield, appearing anywhere he wanted at any moment.
He summoned law runes swirling around his body, unleashing his Divine Sovereign aura to his fullest.
A Divine Sovereign was a true master of laws.
Though Sovereign Lords could also wield the power of laws, their control was crude, as immature as tender sprouts just breaking through the soil.
In comparison, these ancient monsters had lived through the primal chaos era and were akin to towering trees. Although the time had eroded these mighty trees, there was still an immense gap between the two realms.
“Good,” the Lifehunter Divine Sovereign said darkly. “You are worthy of dying to my full power.”
“Then, we’ll see if you can make me use my full power,” Long Chen replied, his hands clasped behind him as he gazed at his opponent apathetically.
It looked like everything was under Long Chen’s control.
“Boss is mighty and domineering!” shouted Xue Tu.
However, he didn’t dare to shout too loudly for fear of disturbing Long Chen. The confidence and calmness he displayed instantly dispelled everyone’s worries.
Nearby, one cultivator couldn’t help but sigh.
“I really am indebted to the heavens. I randomly fought the outsider devils with the violet blood race, got sucked into that bloody battle, combined 999 Sovereign flames into one, and then condensed an essence rune to become a half-step Sovereign Lord. Now, I’ve even received the blessing of the nine heavens’ ancestors...”
He looked at Long Chen with reverence.
“To be born in the same era as him... that truly is a blessing.”
This person had fought alongside the violet blood race and Mo Nian against the dark devils in that land of pure Yin.
While searching for legacies in that world, he saw the violet blood race fighting the outsider devils. Without even thinking about it, he joined the battle.
He had never expected that this action would turn his wheel of fate.
And he wasn’t alone.
Hundreds of thousands had rushed forward that day on impulse. One reckless choice to help the violet blood race had overturned their destinies.
Watching Long Chen confront a Divine Sovereign just after advancing, the man sighed again. Others around him felt the same. Just thinking about it, they felt like it was a dream.
Once, they had been merely above average. In the heaven region’s battlefield, they were nobodies. Yet, because of that moment of hot-blooded resolve, they now stood at the peak of their lives.
Now, they were standing in the Dragonblood Legion’s camp, protected by Long Chen. That feeling was indescribable.
At this moment, Long Chen’s imposing presence seemed to surpass even that of a Divine Sovereign. That made everyone’s blood heat up. The Dragonblood Legion was particularly excited.
The Lifehunter Divine Sovereign’s aura continued to rise, his killing intent sharpening.
“You don’t need to wait for an opening,” Long Chen said calmly. “You won’t find one—whether in my mind, my soul, or my body. Or is it that you lack the courage to attack without seeing an opening?”
The Lifehunter expert had been suppressing him with aura, probing him with Spiritual Strength, and disturbing his will with killing intent. Yet, none of it had any effect.
In fact, his pitiful attempts were useless against anyone in the Dragonblood Legion. Through the baptism of fire and blood, they had brushed shoulders with the god of death countless times. They had long since grown immune to such things.
The Lifehunter expert’s expression instantly sank. As a monster who had lived for countless years, he had never been so humiliated by a youngster.
“Damn brat, you will pay the price for your foolishness!”
His sword abruptly ceased its tremor and slashed through the air.
This sword was infused with immense law power, and it was vast and heavy like a tempest surging forward. Before it even arrived, Long Chen’s hair was blown back violently.
There was no flourish to this strike.
It was a sword forged entirely from laws—a blade capable of cleaving sun and moon.
Yue Zifeng’s pupils shrank. He knew that this Lifehunter expert wanted to beat Long Chen in just a few moves.
But while this sword contained immense law power, it was not the true killing move. If Long Chen focused entirely on blocking it, his current cultivation base would put him at a clear disadvantage, inevitably exposing a flaw. If he dodged instead, the true killing strike would arrive instantly.
So, the deadliest move lay in what followed, but that did not make this first strike any less dangerous.
“Heaven and earth are limitless. Yin and Yang stand together. I borrow your laws to flip heaven and earth!” Long Chen shouted.
Long Chen slammed his hands together, igniting his Heaven and Earth essence runes.
The next moment, Heaven and Earth runes layered on top of each other. Instantly, everyone felt like the world was spinning.
Using his palm, Long Chen withstood the incoming attack directly.
BOOM!
The collision made the Grand Dao runes rage wildly. Long Chen grunted and was blasted backward.
“Boss!”
Everyone cried out.
Blood dripped from Long Chen’s hand. A bloody hole pierced his palm, while his Heaven and Earth essence runes slowly dimmed.
Meanwhile, the Lifehunter Divine Sovereign was also blown back. He spat out blood and stared at Long Chen in shock, seemingly unable to believe it.
However, he quickly recovered from his shock and said, “Your Heaven Earth essence runes are broken, and the power of heaven and earth has already dissipated. How will you compete with me now?”
Everyone’s hearts shook.
Sensing it carefully, they were horrified to sense that Long Chen’s Heaven Earth essence runes were fading. Even the aura of his violet blood and Supreme Blood was weakening.
“So I possess Heaven and Earth essence runes, yet heaven and earth refuse to lend me their law power?” Long Chen muttered, eyeing the wound on his palm with contempt.
Then, his gaze turned cold.
“Fine. If you refuse to give me face—then I’ll take it myself.”
His aura abruptly transformed.
Sacred dragon might burst forth and roared across the battlefield. A golden dragon crown slowly manifested above his head, radiating boundless authority.
