Chapter 6812 The Terrifying Wuzhuo
Blood-colored runes turned into thousands of chains that tightly bound Long Chen. They were infused with terrifying law power, instantly restraining him.
“It’s useless. This is the power of my essence rune, a gift from the Divine Venerate. It embodies the will of Divine Venerate Brahma and the very essence of my life. Let alone you, even a true Divine Sovereign with this era’s mark wouldn’t be able to escape from it,” sneered Wuzhuo.
BOOM!
The Tiger Venerate Scepter smashed through the air, knocking Wuzhuo away along with his saber.
“Long Chen!” Bai Yujing shouted as she turned toward Long Chen.
“Don’t come over!” Long Chen shouted back.
Just then, Wuzhuo clenched his hand, and the chains burst into flames.
“Die!”
BOOM!
The chains surrounding Long Chen exploded, destroying that space entirely.
“Long Chen!”
Everyone from the Tiger Venerate line shouted in fear, unable to believe what they were seeing. Long Chen had been slain in a single blow.
Then, an apathetic voice rang out.
“As expected, having a deceitful master like Lord Brahma led you all astray. I really might have died today if I hadn’t been prepared.”
Flames appeared on the horizon as Long Chen stepped out of them.
“Impossible!”
Wuzhuo stared in disbelief.
Long Chen appeared infuriatingly cool on the outside, but he was sweating inside. Thankfully, he had instructed Huo Linger and Lei Linger to spread their power across the battlefield. That way, he could teleport away at any moment.
Just now, when Long Chen swung the Bloodfiend Halberd, he sensed a powerful aura that shook his heart. Immediately, he switched places with one of Huo Linger’s split bodies.
The slain Long Chen was that split body.
Such an instant switch required strict conditions to be met to activate. If Long Chen had been even a little slower, that frozen space would have caught him.
It happened remarkably fast, so fast that Bai Yujing and Wuzhuo didn’t even realize how long Chen had escaped.
Long Chen stared at the shocked Wuzhuo and nodded.
“I understand now. You didn’t condense the essence runes yourselves; Lord Brahma supplied them for you. The so-called mark of the era is also a gift from Lord Brahma. That is why you could condense an inner and outer manifestation. Your law power stems from Lord Brahma. However, the mark of the era is very precious, and Lord Brahma intends to pass it to only a few key individuals. Even those divine sons are not eligible. Lord Brahma aims for a select few to condense the mark of the era before the new era begins, and with them, he will take control of the nine heavens and ten lands, unifying the ten thousand races. It’s quite the plan!”
Bai Yujing was alarmed by Long Chen's words. Lord Brahma indeed was a master manipulator.
“Shut up! You fool, you cannot comprehend the thoughts of the Divine Venerate!” Wuzhuo shouted.
His manifestation suddenly flared up, and he charged at Long Chen again.
His ignited aura revealed he was no longer holding back. A terrifying aura crashed down on Long Chen like an unbearable mountain.
The pressure on Bai Yujing also grew, and she seemed to be suppressed in terms of aura.
“Long Chen, you should get back for now! Leave him to me!” Bai Yujing exclaimed.
She appeared in front of Long Chen with the Tiger Venerate Scepter. After forming a series of hand seals, she unleashed a palm strike.
“White Tiger Void Ripping Palm!”
A white palm overshadowed the sky, with the image of a White Tiger at its center. When it appeared, murderous qi froze the world.
Bai Yujing no longer dared to hold back and directly unleashed one of the White Tiger race’s secret arts.
In response, Blood Qi surged from Wuzhuo, filling his saber, and he delivered a powerful swing.
“Blood Saber Destruction!”
Bai Yujing’s attack shattered, and the Saber Qi continued onward. Bai Yujing used the Tiger Venerate Scepter to block it, but the impact left her hand numb. She couldn’t help but be shocked. Why was Wuzhuo’s law power so much stronger than Long Can’s?
The rise in power was more about quality than quantity. If a typical Divine Sovereign’s law power resembled a strand of hair, Wuzhuo’s law power was akin to steel wire.
Bai Yujing could only keep up with him because of the Tiger Venerate Scepter and its karmic luck runes. Without it, she wouldn’t be able to deflect even a single strike.
After forcing back Bai Yujing, Wuzhuo immediately turned his attention to Long Chen, aiming to kill him. Everything else was secondary.
Long Chen’s Purgatory Eyes stayed fixed on Wuzhuo the whole time, observing every single one of his movements, including the fluctuations of his inner manifestation.
“Long Chen!” Bai Yujing hurried back, but Wuzhuo’s intense pressure slowed her significantly, preventing her from helping Long Chen.
Long Chen spread his hands, causing Heaven Earth runes to appear. When he slammed his palms together, his bloodline power erupted.
Then, a large shield with a Taiji diagram at its center manifested.
“Three Pillar Shield!”
The Taiji diagram spun as Yin and Yang flowed, shaking the world as divine light poured into the shield.
“A mantis trying to stop a chariot!” Wuzhuo shouted.
He held his saber tightly with both hands. Seeing that Long Chen chose to stand his ground instead of dodging, he poured his Blood Qi into his manifestation’s flames.
“Brahma Law Blood Figure Strike!”
Wuzhuo’s saber struck the shield with supreme law power, causing it to explode. The collision tore heaven and earth asunder.
Long Chen coughed up blood, but Wuzhuo was also pushed back half a step from the blow, which surprised him. The attack was meant to kill Long Chen, yet he managed to block it.
“This is the gap between us. The shield made of all my violet blood energy and Supreme Blood energy barely managed to block his attack,” Long Chen said, wiping blood from his mouth with a sharp gaze.
“Tiger Roars at the Heavens!” Just then, Bai Yujing rushed back. Her White Tiger manifestation opened its mouth, unleashing a beam of white divine light directed at Wuzhuo.
When Wuzhuo saw the divine light, his expression changed, as he sensed a frightening power within it.
“Brahma Blood Shield!”
Wuzhuo raised his saber toward the sky. A blood-red rune at its tip combined with his faith energy to create a shield. The fact that this attack could force Wuzhuo into a defensive stance highlighted its overwhelming power.
BOOM!
The white divine light slammed into the shield, causing the void to break apart. Divine light shot out in every direction.
Wuzhuo and Bai Yujing both spat out blood.
“You should also try one of my attacks!”
At that moment, Long Chen shouted, and a massive figure filled the sky. It opened its mouth and crashed to the ground.
