Chapter 6797 Dark Throne
BOOM!
The giant star collided with the throne, only to shatter without causing so much as a tremor. Long Chen stared, astonished.
“Hahaha! Fool, my dark throne holds a trace of the Dark Master’s divine laws! An ant like you can’t destroy it!”
The Dark Divine Emissary relaxed, a smirk crossing her lips as she mocked Long Chen.
Law power, again.
Frustration simmered beneath Long Chen’s calm. Both Lord Brahma and the Dark Master wielded this mysterious force. Just what was law power? Why did its nature vary so greatly?
It was as if they’d monopolized the secrets of law power, leaving the rest without a chance of glimpsing the truth.
All of a sudden, Long Chen thought of the astral heaven whale; its unique law power had worked against Long Can. He still hadn’t mastered the technique, but it could be the only way to damage the dark throne.
Long Chen gritted his teeth.
Just then, the Bloodfiend Halberd beside Cang Lu began to tremble. An idea flickered through Long Chen’s mind.
The Bloodfiend Halberd rose, drifting toward the dark throne.
The dark throne was pitch-black, eight spider-like legs jutting from its base. An indistinct spider motif sprawled across the back, radiating a chill that crept beneath Long Chen’s skin.
If Long Chen’s guess was right, this dark throne was at a critical juncture in its formation. Once finished, the Seven Treasure Space would likely not be able to contain her anymore. If she escaped, it would mean trouble.
As the Dark Divine Emissary taunted Long Chen, the Bloodfiend Halberd drove itself into the spider motif.
BOOM!
A terrifying burst of dark energy erupted, tearing Long Chen’s body apart.
Long Chen’s eyes flew open in shock. The violent dark energy had killed him in an instant. He had never encountered such terrifying power before.
The Bloodfiend Halberd buzzed beside him, strange runes flickering along its shaft. Black flames were burning on it, casting blood-red ashes that drifted to the ground.
It is using the dark laws to temper itself!
With each falling ash, the Bloodfiend Halberd’s aura grew sharper.
Long Chen then sent the Bloodfiend Halberd to his spiritual space, where Cang Lu waited.
As expected, Cang Lu’s body trembled, and his energy rapidly recovered. Long Chen had changed Cang Lu’s cultivation path, but dark laws were still his foundation. This energy was of great nourishment to him.
Suddenly, Cang Lu’s aura erupted like a volcano. He’d absorbed a vast store of Bloodfiend Qi from the outsider devils, biding his time until now. With the black flames’ aid, the Bloodfiend Qi fused swiftly with him, making him stronger than ever.
But soon, Cang Lu and the halberd exhausted the energy.
“Again!”
Long Chen slipped quietly back into the Seven Treasure Space, careful not to disturb the others.
The Tiger Venerate elites had already reached the second level. Long Chen glanced over them and nodded. Thanks to their years of combat, they could adapt to this new environment quickly. All kinds of divine abilities erupted from them. They were shockingly powerful.
However, because they were powerful, their teamwork was rather lacking.
For now, they could fight individually. But eventually, they would figure out that teamwork was their only way to survive. In the end, experience was the best teacher. The road to success was never instant.
When Long Chen walked through the gate again, the Dark Divine Emissary let out a mournful shriek. She immediately unleashed a wild flurry of blows.
“Damn nine star heir!”
Long Chen was delighted to find that her power had dropped quite a bit. By his estimation, at least thirty percent.
Long Chen glanced at the dark throne. The spider motif was cracked, and its energy was leaking out, siphoned by the Bloodfiend Halberd.
BOOM!
Long Chen was sent flying by the Dark Divine Emissary’s clone. When both were present, he couldn’t tell which was real and which was a clone.
Their auras and fluctuations were identical, perfectly equal. Furthermore, their cooperation was flawless. Silver scimitars flashed in a blur of feints and true attacks, too quick for Long Chen to counter.
Even though weakened, they still rivaled Long Can at her peak. Still, their attacks lacked the overwhelming divine abilities they once wielded.
If one pinned Long Chen while the other used a divine ability, he’d stand no chance.
After thousands of exchanges, Long Chen faltered, cut in two by a scimitar, and expelled from the Seven Treasure Space.
Long Chen cursed, “Fuck, they really are monsters. How can they work together like that?”
In all his memories, only Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue could reach this level of cooperation.
But those two were once one. On the other hand, the Dark Divine Emissary was only a soul raised by the Dark Master. How did she achieve the same effect?
“Again!”
Long Chen kept charging in. He’d thought his combat experience would help him unravel their secrets, if only he lasted long enough.
But the opposite proved true. The more he fought, the less time he lasted. After seven bouts, he couldn’t even survive five hundred exchanges.
“They really are monsters!” Long Chen cursed furiously. “What kind of ridiculous cloning technique is that?! How could the true body and clone fight in perfect tandem?!”
After one round of outburst, Long Chen took a deep breath and willed himself to calm down.
Something was off. While she had more strength, her technique shouldn’t surpass his.
In terms of senses, control, and reaction speed, Long Chen was nearly unrivaled. From the mortal to the immortal world, none of his peers had ever bested him.
Yet today, the Dark Divine Emissary had shaken that confidence.
I’ve put down multiple markers on her, but I can’t tell which one is the true body. Does that mean...?
Long Chen suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Neither of them are true bodies! Her true body is inside that throne!”
With this hypothesis, Long Chen charged back in once more.
