Chapter 6626 Broken Tower
Stars spread through the sky, enveloping all of Jiuli City. In response, the city’s grand formation activated automatically, raising an immense barrier.
“Who’s there?!”
Furious roars echoed through the air. As experts rushed out and saw the sky filled with stars, a chill ran down their spines.
The Yama King had really come.
“Long Chen, you’ve already killed Long Biluo! What more do you want?!”
Ye Boran appeared on top of the city, shouting at Long Chen who was beneath the starry sky and forming hand seals.
Countless star diagrams were condensing behind Long Chen.
He sneered, “Last time, I came to Jiuli City for two things. One was for Long Tianrui, and the other was for Long Biluo. I already said that if you killed Long Biluo and everyone else who attacked me, this matter would end. However, you didn’t take me seriously. Instead, you tried to kill me again during my tribulation. I gave you chances—many of them. You didn’t cherish a single one.”
“Don’t blame me,” Long Chen said coldly. “Today, I come for justice for Long Tianrui.”
Killing intent surged in Long Chen’s eyes.
His tolerance toward the Jiuli race had reached its limit.
Because he originated from the Jiuli race, he had always restrained himself. No matter how much their actions disgusted him, he still gave them opportunities.
But while he extended mercy, they never returned it.
Although only Ye Boran had joined the attack during his tribulation, Long Chen knew that the entire Jiuli race had been mobilized. They hadn’t attacked only because they couldn’t find the opportunity to do so.
This time, Long Chen was completely enraged.
The moment Ye Boran intervened, he severed any remaining ties between them. Bloodline bonds meant nothing anymore, and Long Chen no longer had any misgivings.
The protective barrier around Jiuli City began to tremble violently, as though it would shatter at any moment.
“Lord Long Chen, are you...” Xue Ying muttered.
In the distance, Xue Ying watched the scene unfold. Her eyes widened as she realized what Long Chen intended to do.
Beside her stood another woman—Ling Yu, the one that Long Chen had brought away with him the last time he came to Jiuli City.
“Lord Long Chen...” Ling Yu murmured softly as she stared at the stars blanketing the city.
Her emotions were tangled.
She both loved and hated the Jiuli race. She had suffered at their hands, yet the days she spent with Long Tianrui had been the happiest of her life.
This city held both her pain and her joy.
Ling Yu knew that Long Chen had brought her here to give her a chance to say goodbye. From now on, she would sever her past and begin anew.
“Long Chen, don’t think my Jiuli race fears you!” Ye Boran shouted coldly. “Even if that old fellow from the High Firmament Academy were here, you still couldn’t touch Jiuli City!”
After a brief pause, Ye Boran continued, “This city houses a primal chaos divine item—the Jiuli Tower! If not for that old fellow’s protection, you would have died long ago. Leave while you still can. Otherwise, I’ll be forced to use the Jiuli Tower to kill you!”
“The Jiuli Tower?” Long Chen sneered. “Is it really that powerful? If it were, you wouldn’t have summoned only a projection during my tribulation. You would’ve used the true tower.”
“You Jiuli race attacked me again and again,” he said calmly. “Today, it’s my turn.”
BOOM!
The flowing star diagrams suddenly contracted, and the stars in the sky flashed. A terrifying pressure locked onto Jiuli City.
“What?!” Ye Boran’s expression suddenly changed.
Jiuli City’s protective barrier shattered.
People realized in horror that an unknown force had disrupted the formation runes. Their grand formations could no longer be activated.
“Stop him!” Ye Boran roared, finally grasping the severity of the situation.
But before anyone could act, Long Chen’s hand seals changed.
“Star Meteor!”
The stars in the sky pulsed, and all their power instantly converged above Long Chen’s head.
An enormous star condensed in the sky.
The moment this star appeared, starlight flashed beneath Long Chen’s feet. He activated the Star Cloud Steps and retreated at full speed.
That giant star crashed down.
It was nearly the same size as the ancient city itself and continued growing as it descended.
Its pressure crushed all hope.
Even before the impact, buildings throughout Jiuli City started collapsing. Only then did the inhabitants think to flee, only to discover that the falling star had formed a terrifying domain, suppressing them so completely that they couldn’t even move.
“Damn Long Chen, you’re a vicious brute!” Ye Boran roared.
He had never imagined that Long Chen would truly dare to annihilate them all.
BOOM!
With a ferocious expression, Ye Boran formed hand seals. An enormous entity tore itself from the ground, radiating vast divine might.
This enormous entity was actually a broken tower that was practically falling apart. Its top was gone, as well as its base. There were only six levels to it.
Under Ye Boran’s control, it flew toward that giant star.
“So that’s how it is,” Long Chen murmured from afar as he fled. “The Jiuli Tower is even more badly damaged than I thought. No wonder they refused to take it out.”
BOOM!
The giant star smashed into the broken tower, and a ripple tore through heaven and earth. Even at his distance, Long Chen was struck by the shockwave.
“Heaven Blocking Shield!” Long Chen shouted.
Earth Dao runes surged forth, merging with his violet blood to form a protective barrier.
The shield shattered instantly, but it absorbed the brunt of the impact, leaving Long Chen unharmed.
Seeing that he had escaped the devastation, Long Chen halted and turned back. He stood in the sky and stared at the results of his attack.
The huge star continued pressing down on the tip of the broken Jiuli Tower. The two forces clashed relentlessly, shaking heaven and earth.
However, the star had the upper hand. The broken tower continuously sank and got closer to the land.
“Everyone, offer up your bloodline power!” roared Ye Boran.
All the Jiuli race’s experts hastily unleashed their bloodline, and streaks of light converged on the Jiuli Tower.
With the support of countless Jiuli experts, the broken tower finally stopped the giant star’s advance.
But before they could even celebrate, the giant star shuddered and exploded.
Violent qi waves unfurled through the world.
