The ghost ship sped away, disappearing at the edge of the void. As it vanished, the river of space quickly dried up, finally vanishing without a trace.
"Roar!"
The endless Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army, accompanied by thunderous roars, charged at Long Chen from all directions. Their aura was dark and decaying, as if surging out of hell.
Long Chen looked around and saw the distant void trembling, with people also engaged in fierce battles. Arrows shot into the sky—this was where Mo Nian was.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen opened the divine ring, wielding the Dragonbone Evil Moon, and moved through the endless Devouring Sky Black Armor army. Wherever he passed, the soldiers turned to dust.
"Xie Yue, what on earth is going on?" Long Chen was shocked. The scene before him was too terrifying. The Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army was endless—where did so many come from?
"These Devouring Heaven Black Armor Soldiers are also beings of the Dark Clan. In terms of origins, they have some connection with our Dark Evil Dragon Clan—same lineage but different races.
I've heard of their clan before. This clan is extremely troublesome—their bodies die but their souls remain unextinguished. They can be awakened by some kind of power and continue fighting.
Although their combat power was less than half of what they had been in life, this undead power had always been a force to be awe-inspiring.
That Dragon King and the Dark Evil King were both wounded and died together, so that Dark Evil King must have left behind a legacy.
And that Ye Ming happens to possess the ability to inherit the power of darkness. By my estimation, he came in this time specifically for the legacy of the Dark Evil King.
Now that he has mastered the power of the Evil King and revived those fallen Devouring Heaven Black Armored Soldiers, he probably has even bigger ambitions. You mustn't be careless. "Dragonbone Evil Moon said in a deep voice.
Long Chen's heart stirred. The Evil King and the Dragon King were mortal enemies, and their strength should be evenly matched, so in the end, both died.
If the Evil King leaves a legacy, and the Dragon King also leaves a legacy, then is Yun Tian the one who stands against Ye Ming?
"Puff puff puff... Long
Chen sped forward, quickly closing in on Mo Nian's battlefield. He found Mo Nian covered in blood and locked in fierce battle with two powerful figures—one was Mo Nian's arch-enemy Di Feng, while the other was Dongfang Yuyang, the prodigy of the Longevity Clan who had disappeared for a long time.
Dongfang Yuyang was enveloped in a red glow, dazzling like the morning glow. Behind him, the phenomenon was a chaotic mess, impossible to discern.
He was besieging Long Chen with Di Feng when he suddenly saw Long Chen arrive. Dongfang Yuyang snorted coldly, his entire body erupting with blood energy, and under the distortion of space, he vanished in an instant.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
In the void, hundreds of Dongfang Yuyang figures appeared in an instant, attacking Mo Nian from all directions. These seemed to be physical avatars.
"Dongfang Yuyang, have you finally stopped being a turtle hiding your head?"
Long Chen sneered, stepped forward, joined the battlefield, and slashed at one clone. With a loud explosion, the clone shattered instantly.
Runes filled the sky, but there was no blood energy. This was just an ordinary clone, not a physical one.
"Be careful, this guy is very sinister. I'm at a disadvantage." Mo Nian's longbow trembled, striking three times in a row to force Di Feng back. At the same time, he swung the longbow, causing starlight to appear in the void, blocking the space behind him and blocking Dongfang Yuyang's dozen or so figures.
"Mo Nian, your time to die has come. Even if Long Chen comes, it won't change your fate of being killed."
Dongfang Yuyang sneered. Suddenly, all his clones exploded at once. Long Chen felt as if heaven and earth had suddenly collapsed, his body pinned down by billions of pounds of boulder, unable to move.
"This move... Long Chen's
expression changed instantly; he thought of a bad possibility.
"Senior Brother Difeng, neither of them can move. Mo Nian is in your hands, Long Chen in me." Dongfang Yuyang shouted loudly, stepped forward, and charged straight at Long Chen to attack.
Mo Nian's expression also changed. He roared in anger, his divine power surging as he desperately tried to break free from the invisible shackles, but to his shock, he found he couldn't break free at all.
That shackle was actually a law beyond divine power; he had all the strength but couldn't use it.
"Hahaha, impressive move. Very well, Mo Nian, today let me put an end to our grudge."
Di Feng hadn't expected Dongfang Yuyang to possess such terrifying powers. Seeing Mo Nian trapped and afraid the shackles would fail, he gripped his spear and stabbed it down at Mo Nian's forehead.
Trapped, Long Chen did not struggle desperately. Instead, he quietly watched Dongfang Yuyang and sent a divine sense to Mo Nian, completely ignoring Dongfang Yuyang before him.
"It's over!"
Di Feng threw his spear straight at Mo Nian's brow, his face twisted with rage. But just as the spear tip was about to touch Mo Nian's brow, Di Feng was shocked to find his whole body instantly paralyzed, unable to move.
"What?"
Di Feng, the eldest child, watched helplessly as the spear tip was covered in white light. The once dazzling divine spear instantly lost its luster, petrified.
The petrifying power spread from the spear tip to the shaft, then through the arms, arms, shoulders, and finally the whole body.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a long sword, radiating dazzling divine light, tore through the void and slashed down from the sky, cleaving the back of Di Feng's head with one strike.
This sword strike was fierce and unmatched, its sharp force capable of slicing stars and shattering moons. It was a long-prepared strike, now petrified by Di Feng, who was completely unable to withstand it.
"Pfft!"
The longsword shattered Di Feng's head, but its momentum did not wane. It slashed down along with Mo Nian, aiming to kill Mo Nian with one arrow.
"Whoosh."
Mo Nian's figure suddenly vanished, dodging the strike at the critical moment.
"Rumble... A
sword sliced through the void, causing the world to roar. Di Feng was smashed to dust, his soul utterly destroyed. The legendary prodigy of his generation perished, and no one even knew how he died.
Mo Nian stood in the distant void, staring at the scene before him. He was stunned; he still didn't understand what was happening.
If Long Chen hadn't warned him not to hold onto that shackle, to conserve his strength, and to escape at the critical moment, he probably would have been killed already.
Only then did he see clearly that the long sword was being held by a man in white. It was none other than Dongfang Yuyang.
At this moment, Dongfang Yuyang, who had lunged at Long Chen, had already vanished, making everything seem so strange.
"Clap clap clap... Long
Chen clapped his hands and nodded, saying, "What a clever move. You must have coveted Di Feng's life for a long time, right? Ridiculous, Di Feng has no idea that the person who most wants to kill him in this world isn't Mo Nian, nor me, Long Chen, but you, Dongfang Yuyang." At
this moment, the shackles around Long Chen had disappeared, restoring his freedom. From beginning to end, Long Chen had been there, none of them tried to break free from that shackle.
Dongfang Yuyang held a long sword, standing frozen in midair. His face was now full of confidence, no longer the timid Dongfang Yuyang he once was.
"Hahaha, looks like you've known something for a long time." Dongfang Yuyang laughed heartily. The chaotic phenomenon behind him trembled, and the power of heaven and earth was being absorbed by his vision.
What shocked Mo Nian the most was that after Di Feng was killed, the blood energy he emitted and the runes shattered by the phenomena were all absorbed by Dongfang Yuyang's vision.
"You... "You are the Heaven-Setter..." Mo Nian suddenly understood, the shock on his face growing even stronger.
The Heaven Seizer is a demonic existence, cultivating through killing, seizing the talents, bloodlines, divine abilities, and even fortune of those who are slain.
Heaven-Seizers possess the power to overturn entire worlds and are known as demonic powers. On the Tianwu Continent, Heaven-Seizers have appeared several times, but as soon as their identities were revealed, they were immediately killed.
The Tianwu Continent absolutely cannot tolerate such a person growing up, and it absolutely forbids any faction from cultivating a Heaven-Seizing Warrior. If discovered, that faction will be completely wiped out.
Long Chen was once falsely accused of being a Heaven-Seizer, but in reality, everyone knew that Long Chen was not a Heaven-Seizer at all—that was just an excuse to kill him.
But today, Mo Nian saw a Heaven-Seizing Warrior with his own eyes—an unexpected person at that. He was utterly shocked.
Long Chen looked at Dongfang Yuyang and shook his head, saying, "It's not that I knew all along. I've always suspected it, because the cultivation method I practice is special. I can sense your unique power."
Back when your Eastern family held the Heroes Gathering, if I'm not mistaken, you were just looking for a target.
After that heroes' gathering, you deliberately targeted me, which annoyed me, and then I sent some reckless sea monster clan to break your legs.
But you really could endure it—willing to have your legs broken rather than reveal your identity. In the days that followed, you simply became a turtle hiding in your head.
At that time, I became even more certain of my suspicions, but guesses are just guesses—until the answer is revealed, I can never be certain.
But just now, you used a mysterious law to trap me and Mo Nian. At that moment, I could instantly confirm that you were the Heaven Seizer. "
Oh?" Why? Dongfang Yuyang said with great interest.
At this moment, the chaotic phenomenon behind Dongfang Yuyang was pushed open, and the frenzied Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army was all repelled, unable to break through at all.
"Because the divine power you just used is very similar to Shi Lingfeng's, but its laws are even more sophisticated and powerful.
If I'm not mistaken, that should be the inheritance of Stone Emperor and Shi Changsheng. Shi Lingfeng is an idiot—he hasn't even matured yet, and he was already killed.
But you are a Heaven Seizer, having taken his fortune. Now that you have advanced to the fourth step of the Tongming Realm, you can experience even more Stone Emperor divine arts than he did.
So that shackle just now should have come from Shi Changsheng, and the sword that slew Di Feng contained the Golden Roc clan's Void-Breaking divine ability.
In other words, not only did you inherit the Stone Emperor's legacy, but when I slayed Kunpengzi, you secretly seized his fortune.
Having obtained the power of the Second Emperor, you naturally shift your focus to two other people: one is Tian Xiezi, and the other is Di Feng.
Unfortunately, Tian Xiezi is not a servant of the Evil Empress and has not inherited the Evil Emperor's legacy. So, to you, Tian Xiezi is nothing more than a useless rib. That's why your target has fallen on Di Feng. That's right, right? "Long Chen looked at Dongfang Yuyang and spoke eloquently.
"Long Chen, are you forcing me to kill you?" Dongfang Yuyang sighed, slowly raising his longsword. As the strange phenomenon behind him trembled, three figures slowly emerged.
When he saw the three figures clearly, Mo Nian immediately gripped his longbow tightly.
