"Boom!"
Long Chen dodged the strike, but the flying rainbow struck the myriad miles of tomb gate, sending endless ripples. The terrifying divine might covered the entire inner tomb.
"What is it?"
Long Chen's expression changed. Suddenly, another flying rainbow shot toward him from an extremely strange corner. Long Chen had nowhere to dodge, and the Dragon Bone Evil Moon slashed fiercely.
With a loud "bang
," Long Chen was shaken so hard his index finger cracked open between his thumb and index finger, his arm aching sharply, feeling as if it might snap.
Long Chen was sent flying backward, only then realizing that the flying rainbow was actually launched from beneath the high platform in the core area.
As the flying rainbow appeared, Long Chen finally noticed that at the center of the sixteen coffins encircled by the coffins, there was a huge black lotus hanging in midair.
A black lotus flower with a diameter of a thousand zhang and numerous petals, each petal embedded with a person.
Those people clasped their hands together, their bodies like dried corpses, looking extremely eerie. Beneath the lotus seat, there were sixteen chains connecting sixteen coffins, no wonder they could not be retrieved.
At this moment, the black lotus seat trembled slightly, and one rainbow after another shot out, charging toward Long Chen.
"So it was you who caused it." Long Chen looked at the Evil Emperor holding hand seals and shouted coldly.
"Long Chen, you really are smart. You saw my state and couldn't fight, but you were too careless.
Although I am but a remnant soul, having contributed ninety-nine percent of my strength, and after years of erosion, my combat power is now less than one ten-thousandth of what it once was.
But as the guardian of the Divine Might Tomb, killing you is a piece of cake. The Demon Lotus Divine Throne has already locked onto you, and as it gradually awakens, its power will only grow stronger.
Not to mention you—even during my period of complete victory, dealing with it would take some effort. So, just enjoy the arrival of death in peace. "The Evil Emperor said calmly.
"Buzz...
Just as the Evil Emperor had said, the black lotus slowly rotated, as if a distant beast had awakened. Its pressure grew ever more terrifying, its attacks ever sharper and more dense.
Long Chen dodged seven consecutive attacks, his expression changing because on the lotus throne, he sensed a familiar aura.
Long Chen had sensed that aura before on the Underworld God's throne. Although the aura on the lotus throne was fundamentally different from the Underworld God's throne, the terrifying pressure surged. Once fully awakened, Long Chen would surely die.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen dodged an attack and struck the coffin, but instead of retreating, he advanced, charging straight toward the lotus throne.
Because on the high platform at the center of the lotus throne sat a man, his back to Long Chen, his face obscured. Long Chen swung his long blade, and a blade shadow slashed straight at the man.
With a loud explosion, just as Long Chen's blade was about to strike the man, a divine light suddenly appeared on the man, shattering his blade shadow. A terrifying ripple spread rapidly from the man's center.
"Bang!"
Long Chen couldn't dodge in time and was hit head-on by the ripple. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body cracked, nearly shattering. Long Chen was terrified—who exactly was this person? How could there be such terrifying power protecting him?
While Long Chen was shocked, the Evil Emperor standing in the distance narrowed his pupils slightly: What exactly is this person's background? How can his flesh and blood power be so terrifying? According to his prediction, after this strike, Long Chen should have completely turned into nothingness.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
At that moment, more and more flying rainbows shot out from the lotus throne. As the throne began to revive large sums of runes, the attacks grew increasingly terrifying and faster. If hit by a single flying rainbow, Long Chen would be at risk of being killed instantly.
"Damn, this is such a rip-off. Looks like I won't get any benefits today. Forget it, I'll just treat it as a scouting spot. Next time, I'll come with Mo Nian."
Long Chen unleashed his thunderous energy in an instant, dodging the attacks one after another. At the same time, he noticed that as the Lotus Throne awakened, a terrifying pressure was gradually locking onto him. Once fully locked on, he would never be able to dodge again.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Long Chen wielded the Dragonbone Evil Moon and swung his blade toward the distant Evil Emperor and Tian Xiezi.
Watching Long Chen strike with his blade, the Evil Emperor shook his head and said, "Although I am weak and weak now, I am not someone you can kill." "
Buzz!"
The Evil Emperor pointed his finger, and a light screen appeared, with overlapping runes protecting him and Tian Xiezi.
"Bang!"
Long Chen slashed at the blade, causing the light screen to tremble. The force of Long Chen's strike was instantly absorbed.
"Long Chen, in front of Lord Qianmo, you're nothing but an ant. Even if you use all your strength, don't think you can harm a single hair on him." Facing Long Chen's attack, Tian Xiezi mocked.
"Idiot, he's already dead, why should I compete with him?" Long Chen sneered, and suddenly something strange appeared in his left hand, which he slammed fiercely forward.
That thing was nothing else but the door knocker from the Gates of Ghost. Long Chen grabbed the door ring, carrying the copper token, and smashed it forward.
When the Evil Emperor saw the bronze plaque, his expression changed. Because he recognized the pattern on it, he blurted out:
"Hell Hell Spirit!"
The Hell Hell Spirit is a vicious dog guarding hell, also known as the Hell Three-Headed Dog. However, its other two heads are hidden beneath its neck. Usually, it was just two patterns.
Only during fierce battles does it manifest its three heads. The three heads of the Hellhound represent three laws, governing the three paths of heaven, earth, and man.
Long Chen had no idea what the hellish Yan spirit was; he only knew that anything embedded in the main gate to ward off evil must be something valuable.
What he didn't know was that these two door rings were seals suppressing terrifying divine beasts. Even the Evil Emperor had only heard of the Hell Yan Spirit, but didn't know the origin of these door rings.
But he knew this thing didn't exist on the Tianwu Continent, and it carried its own laws. He knew things were going badly.
"Boom!"
The tough light screen was shattered by Long Chen's door knocker, fragile and fragile. The effect was so good that even Long Chen himself hadn't expected it.
The light screen shattered, the Evil Emperor's figure swayed, and he staggered back several steps. His figure grew even dimmer.
Tian Xiezi was terrified. He had absolute confidence in the Evil Emperor, but he hadn't expected Long Chen to break through the Evil Emperor's defenses.
"My target is you."
Long Chen shattered the light barrier and slashed down at Tian Xiezi.
"Boom!"
The Evil Emperor struck, his long sword blocking Long Chen's blade. Long Chen snorted coldly and kicked Tian Xiezi in the stomach, sending him flying.
At the same time, the bronze token in his hand was hurled toward the Evil Emperor, The Evil Emperor's longsword trembled slightly, actually blocking Long Chen's strike with its hilt.
But this time, the bronze medal had no effect. Long Chen's arm shook violently, nearly slipping the bronze medal from his hands.
Long Chen was startled. The Evil Moon Dragon Bone slashed fiercely, while his body rapidly retreated. It turned out the Evil Emperor had blocked Long Chen's strike and seemed to have anticipated the outcome. With a twist of his sword, he slashed straight at Long Chen's abdomen. In two moves, he combined defense and attack, exquisitely mastered.
"Pfft"
Long Chen had clearly dodged that sword, but the strange long sword, like a venomous snake slicking its tongue, suddenly flared up with a burst of light. The sword slashed at Long Chen's lower abdomen, instantly slicing open a gash in his belly.
Long Chen was startled. An emperor is an emperor. Even though his strength was only one ten-thousandth of his own, his combat experience was incredibly rich. With just one move, he suffered a heavy blow. If he hadn't been covered in dragon scales, this sword would have split him in two. Truly worthy of being able to challenge an emperor.
Whoosh!
Long Chen pushed off the void, and he retreated like an arrow, narrowly avoiding two flying rainbow attacks.
"Watch out!"
The Evil Emperor suddenly shouted coldly, his longsword trembling, and his figure vanished from where he stood.
Prompted by the Evil Emperor's reminder, Tian Xiezi suddenly realized that his body was flying in an arc in the void, while Long Chen rapidly retreated, about to collide head-on.
It turned out that when Long Chen kicked Tian Xiezi, he had used clever force. Tian Xiezi flew out in an arc, and Long Chen never intended to go and kill the Evil Emperor.
Although this was an extremely tempting idea—in terms of internal energy, Long Chen definitely surpassed the Evil Emperor—he was a supreme powerhouse who dominated the world. Even a mere remnant soul was extremely dangerous, and if things went wrong, he might kill him—it was far from worth it.
Therefore, Long Chen's initial target was Tian Xiezi. Although injured, it was not fatal, and everything proceeded according to the original plan.
"Whoosh!"
Tian Xiezi had nowhere to dodge. With a furious roar, he summoned the last of his strength and threw a punch at Long Chen.
"Smack!"
Long Chen swung his hand and delivered a big slap. At this moment, Tian Xiezi was less than half his usual combat strength and was no match for Long Chen. The slap sent him spinning and sending him flying backward.
Long Chen grabbed his thigh, swapped the Dragon Bone Xie Yue in his hand for a bronze token, and smashed it fiercely toward the tomb gate.
"Boom!"
Countless runes swirled above the tomb gate, incredibly solid, yet this inconspicuous bronze plaque forcibly punched a hole in it.
"Just as I thought."
Long Chen immediately understood. This bronze token had terrifying destructive power against laws, but was ineffective against attacks without laws. The Evil Emperor's strike just now was the best proof.
"Whoosh!"
The hole appeared. Without hesitation, Long Chen unleashed his thunderous power and grabbed Tian Xiezi, rushing away.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a dragon's roar rang out, and endless thunderous light instantly covered the entire outer tomb.
Within the thunder range, Long Chen could teleport directly. With a single step, he arrived at the gate. As long as he passed through the gate, he could leave the Evil God's Tomb.
"Pfft!"
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a flash of sword light followed, followed by a miserable scream. Long Chen's hand lightened, his vision blurred, and he appeared outside the gate of the Evil God's Tomb.
Looking back at Tian Xiezi in his hand, he found that Tian Xiezi had already disappeared, leaving him holding only a bloodied thigh.
In front of the gate of the Evil God Tomb, countless powerful figures gathered. Long Chen broke into the inner tomb, where the Evil Emperor blocked the voyeur, so they couldn't see anything.
Just as the evil cultivators and hostile forces were gloating, those concerned about Long Chen were anxious and fearful, they discovered that Long Chen had come out unharmed, and the thigh he was holding made everyone gasp in surprise, recognizing it as Tian Xiezi's thigh.
