Chapter 6779 Tip of the Iceberg
“Split the Heavens!”
Evilmoon swept horizontally through the air, fusing all nine saber-images into one. This crescent-shaped image was even larger than before, vast enough to seem as though it could fill the entire battlefield.
However, it was slower than the previous slash.
This attack completely dominated the ten thousand Daos. Endless law power was forcibly torn from the world and drawn into the saber-image, while the sky twisted violently under its pressure.
Heaven and earth had blessed the previous attack. On the contrary, this attack felt cursed by them.
Destructive thunderforce crackled faintly on the edge of the saber. A will to destroy all life rose, one that transcended all laws.
“Hmph, such a huge attack can’t possibly have its power properly concentrated!” Yuan Tianhua roared.
Golden light surged around Yuan Tianhua as he rose to the sky.
His golden staff expanded and smashed into the ground like a heavenly pillar. Then, a golden domain spread around the staff to brace against this attack.
It shattered instantly.
The saber-image did not slow down in the slightest.
“I refuse to believe it!” Yuan Tianhua howled.
He could not accept that the domain created by his Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon was completely ineffective against this saber-image.
What he did not know was that this strike was stronger precisely because of the previous one. With that experience, Evilmoon now had better control over its power and could release it far more efficiently.
However, Yuan Tianhua was ruthless, even to himself. He did not retreat.
He stood behind his golden staff and slammed his hands together, pouring a flood of golden light into his staff.
At that moment, the giant saber-image arrived.
When it struck the golden staff, both the staff and Yuan Tianhua were blasted away together.
Protected by the golden staff, Yuan Tianhua wasn’t killed outright. However, he was hurled back in a wretched tumble, like a small boat struck by a colossal wave.
The massive saber-image continued onward, sweeping through the core of the battlefield. Countless experts died in one slash.
“Damn!”
Some experts refused to believe what they were seeing and tried to block it with their own divine weapons. However, their resistance had no effect whatsoever.
Finally, the saber-image struck the barrier raised by the enemy elders and Long Can.
The saber-image exploded apart, and countless Grand Dao runes crumbled.
From the point of impact, a berserk qi wave erupted.
Just as the devil and demon experts thought they had survived, horror followed. Like a wave of death crashing against a boulder, the center of the saber-image was stopped. But its two flanks surged past and continued onward.
“No!”
Screams of despair rang out.
This saber filled heaven and earth. There was nowhere to run.
“Most of its power has been used up! Block it together!” someone roared.
No one had time to question the claim. They could only raise their defenses in frantic unison.
The attack’s power had indeed diminished after its core was stopped, but it was still far beyond what they could withstand. Countless experts were slaughtered mercilessly.
The blood-colored wave then closed around the far side of the altar. This single attack had swept through the entire battlefield, leaving it disturbingly empty.
Compared to the endless army at the beginning, only a few hundred thousand survivors remained.
They were spread throughout the massive battlefield in lonely groups, trembling in fear. It felt like a nightmare they could not wake from.
“Tell me, don’t you think that was badass? Tell me how great I am!” shouted Evilmoon excitedly.
This attack marked the peak of Evilmoon’s life so far. Its control over its own power had reached a pinnacle. It had successfully spread its power to every inch of the battlefield without wasting a single trace.
This was only their second strike after merging, and it was the first time with the combined power of Supreme Blood and Heaven energy. Even Evilmoon was impressed with itself.
Most importantly, Long Chen still retained thirty percent of his Supreme Blood energy. It hadn’t been exhausted this time.
Evilmoon was really proud of itself now.
“Evilmoon is mighty!” Long Chen praised sincerely.
Long Chen was bearing witness to Evilmoon’s true terror. Now, it felt as though he had been misusing Evilmoon all along.
What he had seen before was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Once their power merged, Long Chen sensed thousands of dormant runes within Evilmoon—runes that had never been activated. They had trembled faintly during the fusion. Without his sharp perception, he would never have noticed them.
“Hahaha, I want to absorb even more blood soul energy!” Evilmoon exclaimed.
Its petals flew out, spreading throughout the battlefield. Just like that, Evilmoon soaked in this energy.
Although Zhi Zhi required blood soul energy, what it consumed was fundamentally different.
Zhi Zhi absorbed two types of blood soul energy: one directly from the battlefield, and another released when corpses were devoured within the primal chaos space. The latter made up ninety percent of what it consumed.
However, Evilmoon absorbed a different kind of energy.
The blood soul energy it fed upon was closer to a will of bloodthirst, destruction, and violence. One had form; the other did not.
“Long Chen, you’re exhausted now. How are you going to keep fighting me?” Yuan Tianhua sneered as he reappeared.
This fellow was truly powerful. Even after surviving that attack, his aura remained at its peak.
“Die!”
Yuan Tianhua’s staff slammed down, filled with murderous power. He merged completely with the staff, staking everything on this blow, as if afraid someone else would steal the kill.
“What a fool,” Long Chen said calmly. “How have you survived this long with a tumor on your shoulders instead of a brain? Didn’t I already tell you—I stand here on behalf of the Dragon Sovereign line?”
A majestic dragon cry resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Long Chen’s eight-colored divine ring appeared. A colossal dragon manifestation coiled within it, and a golden dragon crown formed on top of his head.
With a light swing of Evilmoon, Evilmoon’s dragon runes lit up. Sacred dragon might erupted.
BOOM!
Before everyone’s stunned eyes, Yuan Tianhua and his golden staff were blasted apart in two opposite directions.
Following that, a golden saber-image cleaved through the world.
The earth split open, as if the entire world had been cut in two.
