Chapter 6750 Demon Suppressing Power
Eight gates opened.
A massive starry sea flooded the battlefield, along with raging astral energy.
Long Chen’s aura was so explosive that it even suffocated the acquired Divine Sovereigns.
Meanwhile, the divine son charging at Long Chen turned pale with shock. His essence rune was instantly suppressed when Long Chen summoned the Eight Star Battle Armor.
However, it was too late for him to flee now.
With a furious roar, he burned his essence rune to its limit. His saber thundered as he brought it down in a desperate slash.
Long Chen calmly raised his arm.
Star diagrams ignited along it as countless stars gathered behind him.
“Starry River God Extinguishing Spear!”
The stars converged into an unstoppable spear. At the instant of contact, the blood-red saber shattered. A burst of blood mist followed.
The divine son was erased.
All that remained of him were a few fragments of his horns.
At this moment, friends and foes alike turned in shock.
How could a divine son fall in one blow? Was the gap between the two of them this vast?
“Youlan, watch out!”
Xu Changchuan’s shout rang out. In a flash, he appeared behind Youlan.
A spear pierced straight through his chest.
An insidious divine son had slipped past Youlan’s perception and struck her from behind, timing his sneak attack perfectly while everyone’s attention was fixed on Long Chen. There was no chance for Youlan to dodge it.
Even with Xu Changchuan’s strongest defenses raised, the spear still pierced through him.
Youlan’s eyes widened. With a roar, she slashed at the sneak attacker.
Although Xu Changchuan was critically injured, he had blocked the spear’s power. Now, Youlan had to save him before the enemy could unleash destructive energy through his body.
Yet, another divine son got in her way, forcing her to stop. Youlan panicked. After all, Qingwu was in no position to help either.
Just as she thought that Xu Changchuan was about to die, that sneak attacker blew apart. Long Chen’s figure appeared through his remains.
Long Chen grabbed Xu Changchuan, his gaze sweeping over the wound. It was a terrible injury, but not lethal.
“Brother Long...” Xu Changchuan gritted his teeth.
“Don’t worry,” Long Chen said.
As he formed seals with one hand, the eight gates flared once more. His astral energy raged like a tsunami and blasted Yan Wuxin and the others back.
Long Chen handed Xu Changchuan to Youlan.
He said, “Look after him. Just leave this battle to me!”
Starlight flashed beneath Long Chen’s feet. With the Star Cloud Steps, he instantly appeared in front of a shocked Yan Wuxin.
When Yan Wuxin saw the astral cross on Long Chen’s palm, his whole body turned cold. An intense feeling of death filled his heart.
“Rock Crystal Blood Shield!”
Without hesitation, Yan Wuxin poured all his bloodline power into a massive shield shaped like a spiraling snail shell.
BOOM!
The moment Long Chen’s palm struck the snail shield, starlight pierced through it like a sharp sword.
The impact sent shockwaves tearing across the battlefield. Yan Wuxin spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was flung backward.
The shockwaves alone left his comrades powerless. They were forced to unleash their full strength just to withstand the shockwaves, so they couldn’t provide him any support.
BOOM!
Yan Wuxin smashed into the ground, carving out a long, jagged trench as he struggled to stop his momentum.
“This power...” Youlan muttered, staring in shock.
She had never seen such terrifying power before. Meanwhile, Qingwu was filled with disbelief as well.
How could Long Chen be this powerful when he was still a Sovereign Lord?
Yan Wuxin was the strongest among the divine sons, yet he had been unable to withstand even a single strike from Long Chen.
“Even a legendary nine star heir shouldn’t be this terrifying...” Youlan said hoarsely.
She was bearing witness to absolute power.
At the same time, Youlan’s confidence was crumbling. This fight—three against sixteen divine sons—had been the greatest pride of her life. Even if they had only managed to hold the enemies back for a few breaths, it was still an undeniable achievement. In single combat, aside from Yan Wuxin, none of those divine sons would have been Youlan’s equal.
But just now, Long Chen had killed a divine son with one blow and sent Yan Wuxin flying with another. He had crushed them so casually.
At the same time, the pride she had gotten from fighting so many divine sons was also crushed without mercy.
“He’s not this strong because he’s a nine star heir,” Xu Changchuan said, forcing out the words with difficulty.
With a confident smile on his lips, he continued, “He’s this strong because... he’s Long Chen.”
Seeing that even Yan Wuxin was unable to stop Long Chen, the others panicked.
Jin Xingtian roared, “Attack him together!”
Fourteen attacks flew in unison toward Long Chen. However, by the time these attacks landed, Long Chen had vanished.
Not far away, he reappeared and raised his hand toward them.
A deep, resonant bell toll echoed through the air, causing the fourteen divine sons to scream in terror.
They suddenly realized that some strange force had frozen them in place. Their Blood Qi turned sluggish, and even their essence runes were no longer burning.
Long Chen was also surprised. With the golden lotus sprout’s assistance, his control over astral energy had reached an unimaginable level. The Starry River Demon Suppressing Bell had rung six times in rapid succession—so fast it sounded like a single chime.
Furthermore, it instantly locked down the fourteen divine sons.
“So the name wasn’t false,” Long Chen said calmly. “It truly suppresses demons.”
The astral bell descended toward the fourteen divine sons. Those outside its range did not sense its suppressive effect. They even wondered why the fourteen of them were not moving.
“Starry River Demon Suppressing Bell!”
At Long Chen’s shout, the bell detonated.
Fourteen clouds of blood mist bloomed where the divine sons had stood. Then, heart-rending roars erupted from the Rock Crystal and Golden Horn races’ camps.
At that moment, Yan Wuxin clawed his way out of the ground. He witnessed the death of the other divine sons with his own eyes, his expression twisting into something savage like a monster.
“Long Chen!”
