Because the moment the Evil Emperor stood up, the endless power of heaven and earth seemed to tighten in an instant, pinning Long Chen within.
Long Chen stood there, as if the whole world was pressing down. That strange force seemed about to crush him.
However, the thunder dragon beneath Long Chen's feet showed no abnormalities. Long Chen knew this was not the power of laws, but a kind of soul pressure, a suppression of will.
Long Chen gripped the Dragon Bone Evil Moon tightly with one hand, his posture straight as a steel spear. Facing the Evil Emperor's pressure, he showed no fear.
What's so great about the Evil Emperor? I can be a brother to the emperor who suppresses you—how could I fear you?
"What's wrong?" If the younger ones can't win, the old ones need to come out? Long Chen said calmly.
The Evil Emperor shook his head: "Although I am already a dead man, with only a remnant soul left, I still disdain to attack you."
You carry Mo Li's aura, so I'll just treat you as his disciple. A thunder pet isn't enough to make you so arrogant. After
speaking, the Evil Emperor turned to Tian Xiezi and said, "I will teach you part of the spell right now. If you can kill him, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life."
If you can't defeat him, it means you have no right to inherit the will of the evil god. I won't step in to save you." "
Whoosh."
After speaking, the Evil Emperor stretched out his large hand and pointed at Tian Xiezi's forehead. Tian Xiezi's body trembled, and his aura kept shifting.
"Buzz!"
The Evil Emperor's large hand left Tian Xiezi's brow. On his body, blood-red runes flickered, merging with the blood-red light inside the inner tomb gate.
"Thank you, Evil Emperor."
Tian Xiezi excitedly saluted the Evil Emperor, then suddenly turned to look at Long Chen. Tian Xiezi's face was filled with a confident smile.
"Long Chen, prepare to die!"
The phenomenon behind Tian Xiezi trembled. Nourished by the divine light of the inner tomb, his aura was completely different from before, now carrying a trace of imperial pressure.
His spear shattered, but he threw a punch straight at Long Chen. This punch caused the void to collapse, and myriad paths roared. It was as if this punch empowered an entire world.
"You think of me?" Better forget it, hurry up and let the old ghost behind you take action. Long
Chen sneered. Suddenly, the thunder dragon beneath his feet vanished, the divine ring behind him trembled, and the Dragon Bone Evil Moon in his hand was raised high, a massive blade shadow soaring into the sky.
His entire body was covered in scales, and on those scales, half-black and half-white patterns appeared—this was the phenomenon of the Azure Dragon's battle body merging with the power of the evil dragon.
Although the previous Azure Dragon Battle Body was half black and half white, the black ripples were noticeably dull, suppressed by the white patterns.
That's because the power of the evil dragon cannot yet compare to the Azure Dragon's; it will be suppressed by it.
But today, after Long Chen advanced to the Tongming Realm, the power of the Dragonbone Evil Moon was greatly unsealed. Now, with the support of these two powers, the Azure Dragon Battle Body became even more terrifying.
"Buzz!"
Within Long Chen's Dragonbone Evil Moon, the power of thunder flowed as he attached the thunder dragon's power to the Evil Moon.
In the void, the dragon's roar echoed, shaking the heavens. The roar was not just one, but three voices merging together, merging the powers of the Thunder Dragon, Evil Dragon, and Azure Dragon into one.
Long Chen slashed down with a single strike, like a river of stars pouring down, shattering eternity. In that instant, Tian Xiezi's expression changed. Using the Evil Emperor technique, he had gained the power of the Evil God's inner tomb, thinking he could suppress Long Chen with a wave of his hand. Who would have thought Long Chen possessed such terrifying power.
With this slash, even the Evil Emperor's pupils contracted, instantly recognizing the terror of this move.
"Boom!"
Tian Xiezi screamed in agony. The vision phantom he controlled shattered, half his body vanished, and the other half cracked open, nearly shattering.
Whoosh!
The Evil Emperor reached out and grabbed Tian Xiezi. His body, which was about to explode, was on the verge of exploding. If he didn't act soon, the lingering divine might from that strike would take Tian Xiezi's life.
Although he said he wouldn't act, it was just to scare Tian Xiezi and make him fight with all his might.
"Is this the Evil Emperor?" Tch, you poop yourself, and you can still eat it without batting an eye? This is impressive—even the Great Emperor probably couldn't achieve it. Seeing the Evil Emperor intervene to save the Heavenly Evil Son, Long Chen sneered.
The Evil Emperor's expression instantly turned cold. Throughout his life, he had slain countless prodigies, and his life was filled with legendary tales.
This was the first time in his life he broke his promise, because Tian Xiezi was, after all, a divine son, the chosen one. He couldn't just stand by and watch Tian Xiezi be killed.
But Long Chen's blatant mockery made killing intent flicker in his eyes. Before he could act, Long Chen suddenly stepped on the void and charged straight into the inner gate of the Evil God Tomb.
"Courting death" Seeing
Long Chen's actions, the Evil Emperor was both shocked and furious. He immediately struck, slashing out his long sword, slicing through the void. He struck in front of Long Chen, trying to stop Long Chen from entering the inner tomb.
"Tch, just bluffing. If you really had the power at your peak, you would have imprisoned me immediately, not let that idiot Tian Xiezi stop me. You already knew Tian Xiezi was no match for me." Long Chen sneered.
Ever since the Evil Emperor appeared, he had felt something was off. The Evil Emperor seemed to completely disregard him, looking as if Long Chen was doomed.
But Long Chen couldn't sense any sign of impending death from the Evil Emperor, meaning the Evil Emperor himself had no power to kill him.
After much thought, Long Chen felt that the Evil Emperor was deliberately trying to scare Long Chen away, to scare Long Chen away. The purpose was too obvious—there must be some secret inside this inner tomb.
When Long Chen attacked, the Evil Emperor did not attack him, but instead slashed forward, only trying to block Long Chen. This showed he was not confident in killing Long Chen in one blow.
"Eighth Form of Heaven-Opening"
"Boom!"
Long Chen's blade trembled, flashing with light. Man and blade merged into the sword curtain, tearing a huge hole in the curtain as Long Chen charged straight into the inner tomb.
Long Chen originally wanted to use the divine arts of the Dragonbone Evil Moon, but thinking about it, the Moon's moves were indeed vast and terrifyingly powerful, but because their attack range was so large, breaking through the blockade would require shattering the entire sword curtain.
You have to understand, that was the Evil Emperor. Although dead, even a wisp of heroic soul was not so easy to deal with, and Long Chen wasn't confident in shattering his attack.
And even if it shattered, Long Chen's consumption would be terrifying. The only fifty percent of his strength he had just recovered would be completely consumed.
So Long Chen chose the relatively less costly but shield-breaking eighth form of Kaitian. The result was a successful strike, breaking through the Evil Emperor's blockade at minimal cost and rushing into the inner tomb.
Seeing Long Chen break through the Evil Emperor's blockade, the spectators outside were shocked. That was an emperor, commanding the winds and clouds. Besides the Great Emperor, who could rival him?
But Long Chen actually broke through the Evil Emperor's blockade. Elder Long nodded and said:Long Chen's courage is truly admirable; when facing an emperor, he can overcome the emperor's pressure and fight alongside them. "
Indeed, ordinary people facing emperors or emperors can't even raise their weapons. Even if they barely manage to fight, thinking they're under the emperor's pressure and might not even exert fifty percent of their strength, Long Chen remains completely unaffected; his strength shows no sign of diminishing." Another elder of the Heaven generation nodded, his eyes filled with admiration.
Long Chen rushed into the inner tomb. The originally blood-red inner tomb was illuminated by the lightning on his body, and massive stone coffins appeared.
When the inner tomb was lit, the Evil Emperor's expression changed. Suddenly, he pointed a finger, and instead of attacking Long Chen, a beam of light shot toward the vault of the outer tomb.
"Boom!"
The skylight that Tian Xiezi had opened shattered in an instant, cutting off the outside world's sight. The secrets of the inner tomb were not to be seen by outsiders.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, the inner gate roared and crashed shut rapidly.
With a loud explosion, the stage portal closed, and the Evil Emperor, Tian Xiezi, and Long Chen were all locked inside the inner tomb.
But Long Chen showed no sign of panic; he completely ignored the main gate and instead examined the situation inside.
The inside story wasn't large, covering thousands of miles in circumference, with sixteen huge coffins scattered in sixteen directions, seemingly arranged in a specific order.
"Looks like this is where the evil god's corpse is. Take one and study it when we get back."
Long Chen didn't have time to look around and flew straight for the nearest coffin. The coffin was several hundred zhang wide, like a mountain.
Long Chen stood beneath the coffin, grabbed the bottom with both arms, and shouted:
"Rise!"
Veins bulged on Long Chen's arms. The massive coffin felt as heavy as a star. But at this moment, Long Chen unleashed his full power, and as the ground trembled, The coffin was slowly lifted by Long Chen.
"Bastard, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Tian Xiezi couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Damn?" Haven't you heard that thieves never leave empty-handed? I've worked hard to come all this way, so I have to bring something back.
Don't be so stingy. You have sixteen coffins, and I only took one. That's already pretty generous. Long Chen shouted.
"You... ... you, are you crazy? Tian
Xiezi couldn't help but curse loudly. This was the first time in his life he had ever cursed. He had long heard that Long Chen was unrestrained and capable of anything, yet he dared to take the coffin of the Evil God. Was this a huge joke?
"Lord Qianmo, ..." Tian Xiezi was furious, looking at the Evil Emperor beside him, only to find him coldly staring at Long Chen without saying a word, holding a hand seal. Tian Xiezi immediately shut his mouth.
"Rumble rumble...
The massive coffin was actually lifted by Long Chen. His arms and legs trembled; the coffin was so heavy that he had no idea what material it was made of.
Long Chen had noticed the extraordinary nature of the coffin, which is why he wanted to bring it back. He didn't recognize it, but Guo Ran definitely did. Perhaps he could extract some miraculous immortal and divine materials.
"Withdraw!"
Long Chen shouted sharply. The Chaos Pearl was activated, about to put away the coffin. But just as space trembled and the coffin flew up, a sudden explosion rang out on the ground. Only then did Long Chen realize that at the other end of the coffin, a massive chain was tied to it.
At the end of the chain, it extended toward the core area. In the center of the core was a high platform, covered with runes, and it seemed as if a person was seated on it.
Just as Long Chen was about to take a closer look, his heart suddenly tightened. He kicked the coffin, sending him flying backward.
"Ssssh!"
On the central stone platform, a flying rainbow flashed past Long Chen. The fierce wind struck his cheek, making him feel as if his skin was being torn apart.
