At this moment, the heavenly tribulation was about to descend. No one knew how terrifying it would be. Anyway, their spiritual senses told them that once the tribulation fell, all four of them would be wiped out.
Now, for them, their only chance to survive was to kill Long Chen before that terrifying heavenly tribulation descended.
At this moment, the three of them no longer held back; their respective deadly techniques were all unleashed.
The three of them surrounded him from three angles, divine light soaring skyward, unleashing supreme divine might. Three attacks shot straight at Long Chen, each causing the void to collapse. For a moment, Long Chen felt as if he were inside a rock, and space was compressed by the three's attacks, freezing solid.
Long Chen shouted fiercely, six stars swirling in his eyes as he unleashed his full power. With a single strike, he slashed through the void, taking advantage of the moment of void trembling to break free from the three's lock and shot straight overhead.
"Boom!"
The three attacks converged, shattering half the sky, but Long Chen had already soared into the clouds and merged into the Thunder Giant.
"Hahaha, come here and fight... Long
Chen actually charged into the Thunder Giant's body, enveloped by endless thunder, laughing heartily. But just as he was halfway through laughing, a sudden violent force surged in, and Long Chen seemed to be kicked out by a giant foot.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen shot out like a meteor, and by coincidence, collided with the rushing Di Feng.
"Puff puff"
As the result was, they collided repeatedly, and both of them spat blood wildly. Everything happened so suddenly that even someone as powerful as them couldn't react in time, leaving Long Chen dazed from the impact.
Di Feng was so struck that stars appeared before his eyes, blood spraying wildly and his body splitting open. If not for the protection of divine armor, this collision could have shattered him.
Tian Xiezi and Kunpeng Zi saw Long Chen being ejected and were overjoyed. They stepped through the void and charged straight at Long Chen.
But just as they made their move, their expressions changed. Suddenly, a thunderous explosion echoed in the void, and the massive figure shattered. Terrifying thunder runes crashed like waves, sending them flying.
Long Chen and the others seemed so small before the terrifying thunderous wave, utterly powerless to resist and sent flying far away.
When he looked again at the Thunder Giant, it had already disappeared, but at its core, a man in white appeared.
The man wore white robes as white as snow, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, standing in the void. The myriad paths of heaven and earth began to worship him. In that instant, everyone shouted:
"Emperor Mo Li!"
The Thunder Giant that appeared finally transformed into Emperor Mo Li. For a moment, everyone's minds went blank.
However, unlike the Moli Emperor before the Yin-Yang Realm, this time he carried a long sword on his back. Long Chen felt that the sword looked somewhat familiar.
"Brother Mo Li, do you still know me?" Long Chen saw Emperor Moli and immediately felt much more at ease, shouting loudly.
But what Long Chen didn't expect was that Emperor Mo Li waved his hand and struck down with a palm aimed at Long Chen.
"Rumble... A
palm like a mountain, covering heaven and earth, enveloping Long Chen, Kunpengzi, Tian Xiezi, and Difeng together. An unprecedented threat of death made Long Chen's hair stand on end.
Without hesitation, Long Chen unleashed his six-star power, enveloping himself with all his strength, defending with the strongest posture.
Kunpengzi and the others turned pale with fear. Who would have thought that at the end of the tribulation, it would be the Great Emperor who intervened? Seeing the Great Emperor strike, dodging was impossible; they could only defend with all their might.
With a loud explosion, the earth split open. At the junction of earth and sea, a palm print covering tens of thousands of miles around was placed, with earth and sea waves surging in all directions.
When the dust settled and the palm print lay on the ground, the seawater howled in the distance but did not surge into the print. A mysterious law separated them.
Looking at the massive palm print, people felt their hearts skip a beat. It was just a casual strike, yet it was impossible to resist. Could Long Chen and the others have all been wiped out by this single palm?
People finally witnessed the Great Emperor make his move. Although this Great Emperor was likely copied by the Heavenly Dao and not his true self, this palm strike not only landed on the earth but also in everyone's hearts.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Four consecutive explosions sounded as four figures emerged from the soil beneath the palm imprints—Long Chen, Kunpengzi, Tian Xiezi, and Difeng.
At this moment, the four of them were in a sorry state, covered in blood. Long Chen brushed the dirt off himself and spat out a mouthful of mud mixed with fresh blood:
"That's really tough."
Long Chen's eyes were sharp as he looked at Emperor Moli above the void. An invisible battle intent surged deep within his heart.
The Great Emperor is the supreme existence, an unsurpassable myth. They are the supreme powerhouses in this world, so high they inspire despair.
Now, facing the Great Emperor, Long Chen initially felt a trace of fear, but after taking a blow, his fighting spirit was ignited. At an unprecedented height, Long Chen found a new target.
"Sss!"
Suddenly, Kunpengzi wielded the Thunder War Halberd, tearing through space and slashing at Long Chen. Long Chen slashed fiercely with the Dragonbone Evil Moon.
With a loud bang, Long Chen's arms snapped and snapped, sending him flying backward.
The Peng Emperor heroic spirit fused with Kunpengzi possessed endless divine might, with laws imbued with its strength. This was Long Chen's first time experiencing the power of the Peng Emperor, but he suffered a heavy loss in a single blow. The Kunpengzi now was no longer the same as before.
"Buzz!"
Kunpengzi struck with a single blow, severely wounding Long Chen. He snorted coldly, giving Long Chen no chance at all. His figure trembled, his battle halberd soaring through the air, and he charged at Long Chen again.
At the same time, Tian Xiezi and Di Feng also struck out. The thunder tribulation had branded Emperor Mo Li, an unstoppable existence. To survive, Long Chen had to be killed.
"Boom!"
But just as the three of them made their move, Emperor Moli above the void also made his move, throwing a punch that still appeared casual and indifferent.
But as soon as he threw that punch, the entire world seemed to freeze. Time and space were frozen by some force. Long Chen, Kunpengzi, Tian Xiezi, and Difeng were instantly frozen in place, unable to move. Even the divine light from Kunpengzi's attacks was frozen in the void.
With a loud explosion, a massive fist fell, nearly piercing through the earth. Beneath the earth, countless auras burst forth, surging into the clouds and illuminating all directions.
Immediately, endless lava erupted from underground, but after the eruption, it did not spread in all directions.
Straight up and down, after plunging into the clouds, it began to flow back, forming a lava pillar stretching tens of thousands of miles. As it rolled, endless laws of the Heavenly Dao flowed, creating a spectacle on earth.
Palm and punch, it looked like it wasSo casual, yet with a wave of his hand, he could destroy heaven and earth, inspiring endless awe. This is the Great Emperor, unmatched. Even if it is copied by the Heavenly Dao, it can still look down on eternity, standing at the pinnacle of martial arts.
"Where are they?"
Someone exclaimed, Long Chen, Kunpengzi, Tian Xiezi, and Di Feng were all gone. Could it be that they were all wiped out by the Great Emperor?
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Suddenly, a violent coughing sound came, and people realized that in the distance of the lava pillar, someone had stood up.
"Kunpengzi!"
Someone cried out in surprise. The powerful figure who had just gotten up from the ground was none other than Kunpengzi. At this moment, Kunpengzi's entire body radiated divine light, and behind him, a massive Kunpeng trembled.
The Kunpeng phenomenon was different from the previous Kunpeng Child's previous phenomena. The Kunpeng was covered in golden feathers, as if forged from gold, and its aura was ancient and fierce.
The powerful members of the Kunpeng clan couldn't help but cheer upon seeing the figure:
"The Peng Emperor has manifested."
At this moment, Kunpengzi's aura had clearly changed. The golden Kunpeng behind him radiated supreme divine might. The Kunpeng clan experts felt their blood flow quickening—it was a resonance of bloodline pressure.
After merging with the Peng Emperor's heroic spirit, just as Kunpeng Zi was about to be killed, the Peng Emperor's bloodline finally awakened, saving his life at the critical moment.
Not far from Kunpengzi, Tian Xiezi and Di Feng also got up. The two suffered even more brutally. Di Feng's body was a mangled mess, his breath extremely weak. Clearly, this punch had severely injured him.
Tian Xiezi was even more brutal—half his body was gone, half his head was missing, and he looked extremely terrifying.
Both of them had actually borrowed the light of Kunpengzi. If it weren't for the critical moment when the Peng Emperor's bloodline was activated, they might have already been destroyed by this strike.
The three stood up from the ground, their faces suddenly filled with ecstatic joy, because they realized the lockdown on them had vanished.
"Hahaha, Long Chen is already dead. The heavenly tribulation is over." Di Feng suddenly burst out laughing. The lock on the tribulation was gone, which meant they had gained freedom.
Hearing Di Feng's laughter, the old man, Qu Jianying, Li Tianxuan, and the others all showed a hint of sadness in their eyes.
Especially Li Tianxuan, who secretly grieved: the legend was true. Those who defy heaven will eventually die under the heavenly tribulation, and Long Chen could not escape the constraints of fate. Even the Great Emperor appeared, leaving no chance at all.
"This isn't true. Long Chen won't die." Qu Jianying couldn't hold back his tears. The old man could only comfort him silently. Facing the Great Emperor, no one could do anything—this heavenly tribulation was meant to kill Long Chen.
"No, no, Long Chen is so bad, he absolutely won't die." Beitang Rushuang shook her head, and before she knew it, tears had already spread to her cheeks.
Nangong Zuiyue comforted her softly, though her voice was choked with emotion. Long Chen, such a prodigy, had actually been destroyed by the heavenly tribulation.
"You don't need to be sad. Long Chen isn't dead. I can sense him. He is my destined .... Trust me." Only Ziyan remained staring intently at the lava pillar, speaking with determination.
"Hahaha, you idiots of the righteous path! Long Chen is already dead. Let's see what you're still arrogant about now."
Seeing Long Chen disappear, the powerful figures of the Xuan Beast clan, ancient clans, evil paths, and the Ancient Family Alliance became arrogant.
Although Ye Lingshan is the future leader of the Tianwu Alliance, Long Chen is the spiritual pillar of the entire righteous path. Now that Long Chen is dead, the dissolution of the Tianwu Alliance is inevitable.
"Wait, if the tribulation ends, why is the Great Emperor still standing there?" Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm, and that cry instantly woke Qu Jianying, the old man, and the others.
"That's right. If Long Chen dies, the heavenly tribulation should have dissipated. Could it be ...?" Li Tianxuan exclaimed in surprise.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the pillar of lava above the earth shattered. A figure, like a black lightning bolt, charged directly at Emperor Mo Li, wielding a fierce long blade that sliced through the void, slashing down on Emperor Mo Li.
"What?"
For a moment, everyone was stunned by the scene before them, staring at the figure in disbelief.
