Chapter 6880 One Touch
Long Chen hovered in the air, raising one hand toward the hammer. The hammer, which seemed impossible to stop, halted right in front of him.
People were shocked to see that this world-destroying attack was stopped by just a single finger. Long Chen used just one finger to hold back the giant hammer. Everything seemed to freeze in that moment.
Everyone watching was stunned. Long Chen didn’t use his manifestation, his Sovereign flames, or even his Blood Qi. He blocked Yan Sheng’s attack with just one finger.
No one could believe what they saw, but they had to accept it. Chi Yutong and Xin Yu covered their mouths in shock. Even though they already thought highly of Long Chen’s strength, this was beyond their expectations.
“From the mortal world to the immortal realm, I have fought in many great battles. But within the same realm, you, Yan Sheng, are definitely the weakest person who dared to challenge me openly,” Long Chen stated, shaking his head.
The weakest challenger? That was a nasty insult. None of them had ever heard such an arrogant claim.
In the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture, countless people had cursed Yan Sheng for his character, but no one had ever called him weak.
Still, Long Chen’s words pleased everyone who loathed Yan Sheng. They watched as Yan Sheng’s shock turned into anger. No one had ever dared to insult him like that before.
“Long Chen, you will pay for your arrogance!” Yan Sheng roared, unable to keep his composure any longer.
BOOM!
Yan Sheng crouched and slammed both hands onto the ground, causing countless runes to light up on the hammer. With a rough rumble, the hammer pressed down on Long Chen.
Long Chen snorted and pushed his finger forward. A rune flashed.
BOOM!
That giant hammer exploded.
“Heavens!” Startled cries filled the air.
Many people had studied Yan Sheng’s techniques and knew this attack was difficult to handle. When he pressed his hands to the ground, he could draw on the earth’s power. It was nearly impossible to counter.
But with just one push of Long Chen’s finger, the attack shattered. Yan Sheng was thrown back by the force and rolled across the ground.
Long Chen started walking toward Yan Sheng again. He coldly said, “The earth’s power can be calm and nourish all things. It can also be violent and destroy all life. That is the kind of power you are using. Sadly, in your hands, this sacred energy is completely defiled.”
“Shut up! What would a fool like you know?!” Yan Sheng roared once more.
The ground shook. Earth runes swirled around Yan Sheng as a violent aura grew. On the other hand, Long Chen didn’t seem to notice Yan Sheng gathering energy. He kept walking forward slowly.
“Wood, fire, earth, metal, water—earth is the center. Of the five colors, it is yellow. Of the five flavors, it is sweet. Of the five viscera, it is the spleen. The spleen is the root of the body and the source of qi and blood. It thrives in warmth and dryness, so many earth cultivators have large, muscular bodies. But all of you are round fatties. This is because your earth energy can’t transform the dampness from the water element. What’s funny is that you’ve clearly gone down the wrong path, but you don’t even realize it. You’ve completely gone against the essence of earth.
“You’ve taken in too many energies that aren’t yours. These energies just build up in your bodies without being refined, purified, or used. All the evil things you’ve done are written in your bodies.”
People couldn’t help but be shocked. This knowledge truly fit the youngest dean in High Firmament Academy’s history. However, they also caught what he was hinting at in the end.
“More bullshit! Die!” shouted Yan Sheng.
Yan Sheng finished storing up energy. He formed hand seals, and his essence rune ignited on his forehead.
“Earth law—Life Extinguishing Wall!”
Walls rose on all sides of the battlefield, completely sealing it off.
Heaven and earth trembled, shaking the world. The aura of these walls changed the spectators’ expressions.
“This is one of his strongest techniques! Why is he using his trump card now?”
Some spectators had seen Yan Sheng use this move to kill a strong enemy a few years ago. Now, after several years, the technique was even more terrifying. Its aura alone made people feel hopeless.
Normally, a trump card like this wouldn’t be used unless there was no other choice. After all, once a technique was revealed, enemies could find ways to counter it.
Knowing what an opponent would do was crucial. If one could anticipate their opponent’s actions, a split-second opening would be enough to take advantage of it.
The walls quickly closed in. Their runes merged, making the walls even stronger. As the walls shrank, their power grew.
Once the walls appeared, the whole battlefield was sealed. There was no escape, whether one tried to fly up or dig down. This technique was nearly impossible to counter.
Seeing Yan Sheng use his trump card now made everyone tense up. Perhaps this one move would decide life and death.
“I already said that you’ve devoured too much. You can’t even control your own body, so how are you going to control such a large-scale divine ability?” Long Chen shook his head, smiling slightly.
Long Chen pointed with a single finger, and a violet gust shot out.
However, that soft attack failed to cause a single ripple. It was like a fly hitting a wall, unable to shake it at all.
After that, Long Chen continued walking toward Yan Sheng, completely ignoring the walls closing in on him. Just as the walls were about to get him, and quite a few disciples screamed in fright, those walls suddenly fell apart.
Less than ten meters from Long Chen, the walls crumbled like sand. He walked through the dust and sand toward Yan Sheng.
Everyone was stunned. They had no idea what had just happened. It was strange and hard to believe.
“Senior apprentice-brother Chenggang, what has just happened?” asked a disciple of the Calligraphy Sect.
Li Chenggang explained, “This is why I told you to watch closely. You can’t miss any details. Long Chen already said that there is a problem with Yan Sheng’s body. As a result, his magical arts have a significant flaw. His earth walls were inscribed with earth runes, functioning like roots connecting all parts. Long Chen’s attack disrupted the balance of a section of these runes, triggering a chain reaction that led to the collapse of the entire technique.”
That explanation shocked people even more. If it was true, how did Long Chen find the exact spot that would make the whole technique collapse?
“Actually, finding an opponent’s weak point isn’t that hard. What’s really amazing is that Long Chen could figure out exactly how and when the technique would collapse,” Li Chenggang said with a sigh of amazement.
“Can... a human really do that?” the disciple muttered, staring in disbelief.
Even after seeing it, he couldn’t believe it and would rather think it was just a coincidence.
“Once you know how Long Chen grew up, you’ll believe it. Just watch and learn. If you miss this chance, you’ll regret it for life!” Li Chenggang said.
BOOM!
Just then, a shocking turn of events occurred. The earth exploded, and a giant entity flew into the sky.
Devil qi unfurled.
