Chapter 6615 Slashing a Divine Sovereign
A giant figure tore out of the ground.
Even the heavens seemed to collapse before it, as if an ancient god had descended upon the world.
This giant figure was composed of endless law power, and it also contained a Divine Sovereign’s essence, qi, and spirit.
Heaven-earth law manifestation was a Divine Sovereign’s unique divine ability. It was also their greatest trump card. When it appeared, it meant that they were no longer holding anything back.
Because this was the first time anyone present had truly faced a Divine Sovereign, they momentarily forgot this ultimate move.
When the heaven-earth law manifestation appeared, a suffocating pressure crashed down. Even the Dragonblood warriors felt their souls tremble, their bodies nearly freezing in place.
The world itself seemed unable to contain that giant. Endless law power condensed, layer upon layer, warping space.
“You should be able to rest in peace after dying to my heaven-earth law manifestation!”
The Lifehunter expert sat on the forehead of the giant, like an essence rune embedded within it. His eyes were closed, and his aura completely merged with it.
With every breath the giant took, heaven and earth contracted. He seemed to be the ultimate ruler of this world.
Previously, Long Chen had used his Heaven Earth essence runes to control this power. But compared to the heaven-earth law manifestation, it was much weaker.
“Ah, I see, so the heaven-earth law manifestation involves using the essence rune to condense an avatar that imitates the laws of heaven and earth. Essence, qi, and spirit form the foundation, while blood, soul, and bone act as the bridge to extract law power. Your manifestation is dominated by Blood Qi. That means it excels in offense, but its defense is actually quite weak,” deduced Long Chen.
In just a few words, Long Chen expressed the foundation of a heaven-earth law manifestation that only a Divine Sovereign could possess. He had instantly seen through its strengths and weaknesses, shocking the Lifehunter expert.
What the Lifehunter expert didn’t know was that this insight stemmed from Long Chen’s long study of Cang Lu. After turning Cang Lu into a puppet, Long Chen saw that many runes remained in a sealed state, so he couldn’t see through their essence.
However, Long Chen had come up with many hypotheses.
Now that he had seen a true heaven-earth law manifestation, he instantly confirmed what was correct and discarded what was not.
With this, everyone came to learn how important their essence runes were. This was their foundation for stepping into the Divine Sovereign realm. The path before them instantly became clearer.
“Even if an elephant does not specialize in defense, there’s still a vast gulf between it and a rabbit like you! Die!” the Lifehunter expert shouted.
The Lifehunter expert did not dare to give Long Chen any further chance to speak. After all, Long Chen was too terrifying—one glance was enough for him to see through secrets honed over countless years. The Lifehunter expert wanted to end this fight as soon as possible.
The law manifestation’s giant hand slammed down. Although it was enormous, it was still quick as lightning, not looking the slightest bit clumsy due to its size.
The next moment, the space around Long Chen crumbled, and an enormous handprint appeared on the ground.
A wild qi wave rushed over.
The Dragonblood Legion instantly raised a dragon blood barrier, but it was still ripped up by the shockwave and hurled far into the distance.
“Heaven... Water... Mountain... Thunder... Wood... Fire... Earth... Swamp...”
Within the dust, Long Chen’s voice rang out like a god’s murmur throughout the world.
Stars slowly appeared in the sky. One giant star after another lit up.
“Opening... Body... Life... Pain... Limit... Vision... Death... Terror...”
Astral gates opened in succession, merging with the eight giant stars.
Long Chen chanted, “Square outside circle inside, mysterious and profound; circle outside square inside, boundless and limitless. Circle and square: Yin and Yang born of the Dao. Softness and hardness, ever-transforming...”
The astral gates and stars continued to evolve—stars and gates revolved, Yin and Yang alternated, soft and hard exchanged positions. Power continuously transformed and deepened.
“Heavens, Boss’s Eight Star Battle Armor still isn’t complete? He’s continuing to evolve it?!” Gu Yang and the others’ jaws dropped.
When the heavenly tribulation ended, they had assumed that Long Chen’s Eight Star Battle Armor was complete.
However, it seemed he was still one step away.
Long Chen was putting on the final touches. Furthermore, based on his calm voice, it seemed that this was all within expectations.
The stars in the sky flashed, and astral diagrams continuously transformed. The starry river unleashed endless astral energy.
Long Chen had a solemn, serene expression as he formed hand seals beneath the starry sky. His astral gates flashed as astral energy gushed into them.
Meanwhile, the Lifehunter expert was shocked. He still had no idea how Long Chen had avoided his killing blow.
Long Chen’s astral energy continued to soar, making his opponent feel more and more uneasy.
“Voidhunter God Slaying Slash!”
The Lifehunter expert couldn’t care about face anymore. He raised his hand, and a giant sword shattered the heavens as it slashed down.
This was his greatest offensive attack. He had never expected to one day use it on a junior, who had just advanced to the Sovereign Lord realm.
Just as his sword fell, Long Chen shouted, “Eight Star Battle Armor!”
Eight flames ignited behind him, and an astral pillar soared into the heavens.
BOOM!
The giant sword directly broke apart when it struck that astral pillar.
“What?!” Everyone stared in shock, unable to believe their eyes.
An astral wave erupted, blowing back the Lifehunter expert’s law manifestation.
“This is Boss’s Eight Star Battle Armor? Isn’t its power rather frightening?” asked one of the Dragonblood warriors.
Gu Yang and the others stared at it. Just the aura of the new battle armor had blocked the full-power attack of the Lifehunter expert. What level of power was this?
Just then, the Lifehunter expert’s law manifestation stamped on the ground, managing to stabilize himself.
He stared at Long Chen with fear in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Long Chen stood beneath the starry sky, his eight-color divine ring spinning behind him.
Eight clumps of flames burned intensely.
Within these eight flames, a circular and square diagram continuously transformed. They unleashed heaven-shaking power that suppressed the ten thousand Daos.
“It’s finally complete!” Long Chen exclaimed, clenching his fist.
His Eight Star Battle Armor was finally perfect. Even he felt awe toward the power coursing through his body now.
From the moment he first condensed the Eight Star Battle Armor, he had endured countless failures and detours. Reaching this step had been anything but easy.
Long Chen raised his hand.
Dragonbone Evilmoon appeared, resting against his shoulder as astral energy flooded into it.
BOOM!
An enormous saber-image tore into the heavens, illuminating the sky thanks to the power of the astral gates.
“Heaven Splitting Slash!”
Following that, Evilmoon slashed down with the full might of the eight stars. An astral flame burned around it.
It was a simple and direct slash.
At this moment, cracks appeared through the sky, and the earth crumbled. The laws of heaven and earth instantly became chaotic.
“Heavens, what kind of power is this?!” Terrified screams rang out.
While the saber had yet to land, it had already released terrifying pressure.
“Run!”
Gu Yang and the others suddenly had a bad premonition. This attack was so powerful that it felt like this world couldn’t contain it.
Before it started affecting the space around them, Bai Xiaole had used his pupil art to bring them miles away.
However, that still wasn’t far enough. With how many people he was moving at once, Bai Xiaole couldn’t get them too far. They continued fleeing.
“Who do you think you are?! Law Manifestation Ignites the Heavens, Blood Offering!” the Lifehunter expert roared.
His body rapidly withered, aging in an instant.
Divine flames erupted from his sword as his entire law manifestation ignited. He had concentrated all power into a single, desperate strike.
Terrified, he had no choice but to risk it all right here.
After all, Long Chen’s astral energy damaged the very order of heaven and earth, disturbing the law manifestation’s power to absorb more law energy.
This self-destructive technique was the Lifehunter expert’s only option.
Evilmoon slashed down like a river of stars, and the Divine Sovereign’s weapon shattered on contact.
The earth exploded. Dust surged skyward as fragments of natural law scattered chaotically.
Meanwhile, blood-colored flowers bloomed across the battlefield. Hidden experts who failed to escape were obliterated by the aftermath.
An astral wave blew mountains apart and flattened the land. The sound was like a devil’s roar, shaking people’s souls.
The Dragonblood Legion couldn’t escape it either, but they had fled far enough that it was no longer a threat.
When they looked back, they saw that the terrain had completely changed. There was now a bottomless abyss, and they could not see the end of it.
The Lifehunter Divine Sovereign’s aura had completely vanished. Only faint traces remained—along with scattered fragments of his shattered sword.
A Divine Sovereign met his end just like that.
However, after that blow, Long Chen also turned slightly pale. His astral manifestation had vanished, consuming every drop of energy.
“As expected, the new battle armor is beyond my limits. Without Evilmoon, I wouldn’t be able to control this level of power,” Long Chen muttered, gazing at the abyss before him excitedly.
The new Eight Star Battle Armor already possessed such power, and Long Chen had only just condensed it. Who knew what kind of power he would be able to draw out from it once he was used to it? Just thinking about it filled Long Chen with anticipation.
Suddenly, the space behind him collapsed, and an enormous mouth stretched out toward him.
Long Chen was now exhausted. The attacker came from the demon race, and Long Chen was clearly powerless to resist. The Dragonblood Legion cried out in shock, but they were too far to assist Long Chen.
However, Long Chen seemed completely indifferent. He lazily rested Evilmoon on his shoulder and just watched as that mouth descended.
Suddenly, a streak of blood flew through the air. A sword descended from the heavens and pierced that giant mouth.
When people saw what that sword was, they couldn’t help crying out in shock.
“That’s the...!”
