Chapter 6710 Black Wall
BOOM!
Gu Feng charged into the fray and intercepted the incoming attack. A torrent of starlight continuously poured into him, backed by the power of the entire Starry River Legion.
With a single explosive strike, one of the outsider devil chiefs was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth. One blow was enough to leave him gravely wounded.
This was a technique that Long Chen had taught them—a simplified version of the Dragonblood Cross Slash.
The Dragonblood Legion’s version had been refined through countless trials and revisions. Expecting the Starry River Legion to replicate it was unrealistic. However, the Starry River warriors possessed unique aspects that they could take advantage of—Qu Yingying.
She could stabilize, guide, and amplify their power. Moreover, what Long Chen had given them was never meant to be a finished technique, only a simple embryonic form as their foundation.
Even so, when so many warriors concentrated their strength into a single strike, the result could not be underestimated.
Gu Feng’s success instantly boosted the Starry River warriors’ confidence.
The other chiefs quickly pounced over.
In response, the three captains of the Starry River Legion stepped forward. With everyone’s astral energy boosting them, they could forcibly stop their charge.
“Are you all stupid?! What are you looking at?! Hurry up and kill the small fry!” roared one of the chiefs.
He could tell that the power of the three captains was rooted in these Starry River warriors. Cut off the source, and everything would collapse.
The outsider devils were dumbfounded.
Moments earlier, they had been ordered to stay out of the way. Now they were being told to attack. Who were they supposed to listen to?
As the orders came from two different chiefs, these blockheads ultimately hesitated.
“Idiots, attack together!” the other chiefs roared in unison.
In this state, the three captains had limitless power, and the chiefs wouldn’t be able to keep up with it.
Having received a clear order, the outsider devils charged.
Under this pressure, the Starry River warriors could no longer freely funnel energy into the captains. Their formation shifted as they turned to meet the assault head-on.
“Time is pressing! End things quickly!” shouted Long Chen.
Xue Ying immediately took action.
A dragon’s cry rang out as a massive claw slammed down, crushing one chief and his weapon in a single blow.
Seven claws followed in rapid succession.
Although it was the same move—the angle, power, and speed of each blow were different. Some were direct and overwhelming, others soft and insidious. There were all-out frontal blows as well as sneak attacks in one go.
It went without saying that Xue Ying had immense talent in combat. From a single move, she extrapolated multiple attack styles. After grasping the intricacies of this one attack, she allowed it to evolve beyond its standard form.
All seven dragon claws managed to kill their targets without exception.
“There’s a supreme expert here—retreat!” one chief shouted in alarm.
Only now did they realize the truth. This had never been an even fight—it was a trap.
The remaining chiefs immediately abandoned the battlefield and fled.
But before they could escape, a streak of blood-colored divine light pierced through the sky like lightning. One by one, the fleeing chiefs were pierced through, withering into dessicated corpses as their energy was drained dry.
Then, the Bloodfiend Halberd returned to Cang Lu’s hand.
It was like a bloodthirsty devil absorbing their energy. It practically gave off an image of a devil licking its bloody teeth.
Cang Lu was growing stronger, and so was the Bloodfiend Halberd. Its aura was growing sharper and more sinister.
Cang Lu’s attack had easily killed them all. From it, Long Chen found that Cang Lu was even stronger than he had expected.
A sixth Heavenstage Cang Lu is no weaker than I am.
If Cang Lu became a late-stage Sovereign Lord, his true combat power would actually be a level greater than Long Chen’s.
With such a powerful bodyguard at his side, Long Chen didn’t need to feel so rushed about his own breakthroughs. He could slowly find his cultivation path.
All the new generation disciples had reached the Sovereign Lord realm, yet none rushed to advance further. They were waiting—waiting for the heavens.
In times of great change, heaven and earth would respond.
Although everyone had condensed essence runes and formed embryonic law power, they did not finalize this embryonic form because they wanted their laws to align with the coming great era. That way, they wouldn’t be left behind by this era.
As for the likes of the Heavenly Constellation Ancestor, Qu Liushang, Li Wanci, and the other acquired Divine Sovereigns, they had no choice but to rebuild their heaven-earth law manifestations before the great era. That was because they were not part of this era.
If they really waited for the great era to descend before rebuilding their heaven-earth law manifestation, their odds of success would essentially be zero.
As a result, they had no choice but to bet that their current laws could merge with the new era’s flow. If so, they would have a chance to continue breaking through.
If they failed, they would be abandoned by the world, left in the dust as the new generation surged ahead. They could only watch as the new era slipped by them.
Before Long Chen entered the Primal Chaos World, the sweeping elder had warned him to be ready to welcome the descent of the great era’s laws at any moment.
Once the great era descended, countless monsters would push their realms as high as they could. Even before reaching Divine Sovereign, a world-spanning war would erupt at the peak Sovereign Lord realm.
By the time the new generation reached that peak, they would look down upon the old Divine Sovereigns. Then, the time of the old Divine Sovereigns would come to an end.
Long Chen had just discovered that he could not use medicinal pills to cultivate any longer. Although he was now free to look for his own path, he didn’t have that much time. If the new era of heavenly geniuses started racing to advance while he was stuck where he was, that would spell trouble.
However, Cang Lu’s advancements let him relax a bit. With such a monstrous fighter by his side, he didn’t need to rush things.
Cang Lu swept the battlefield clean. The remaining outsider devil chiefs posed no threat whatsoever.
Even Xue Ying and the others were shaken. Such power could only be described as terrifying.
Xue Ying had seen Cang Lu fight before, but never like this.
At that time, although he had been powerful, he was not this monstrous.
“Lord Long Chen, you are this world’s most dependable friend and also its most frightening enemy!” Xue Ying sighed.
Long Chen’s trump cards were practically endless, showing up one after another without any warning. Even after knowing him for a while, she still could not see his limits.
She was quietly grateful she had chosen the right side.
Once the enemies were cleared, Qu Yingying activated another transportation formation, following Long Chen’s direction.
They found themselves in front of a massive black wall that stretched high beyond the clouds.
This black wall was a barrier, with countless fiendish totems carved on top of it. Just the sight of it made people’s souls shiver.
“The Black Wall! We’ve reached the center of the Devil Slaying Battlefield! The devils’ hive is inside. The entrance to the nine heavens is also behind it!” Qu Yingying exclaimed.
Qu Yingying was shocked, not expecting Long Chen to lead them here. Just what was he thinking of doing?
