"Lord Demon Lord!"
The seven blood clan Emperor Miao-level experts cried out in surprise. In their hearts, the Demon Lord was an invincible figure, yet he was actually injured.
"Crack, crack, crack... The
blood the Blood Fiend Demon Lord spat out fell to the ground, instantly freezing. The terrifying cold spread rapidly, freezing the ground within thousands of miles. The seven Emperor Miao-level experts were stunned.
"The weapon in the woman's hand is a domain artifact. Although he cannot unleash the power of that divine sword,
But because of my power, I automatically triggered a trace of its origin power, and I suffered a huge loss.
Hmph, if it weren't for the Domain Artifact, these people would all be dead today. The Blood Fiend Demon Lord's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Lord Demon Lord, the wound on your back ...," one person looked at the wound on his back still bleeding and exclaimed in surprise.
They knew all too well how terrifying this Demon Lord was. Since following him, they had never seen the Blood Fiend Demon Lord ever injured.
On the wound on the Blood Fiend Demon Lord's back, black blood kept flowing, carrying a strong sinister aura that made one's scalp tingle.
"That little girl's dagger carries a divine curse. You must be careful—if she stabs you, your blood will drain and you will die.
However, the divine artifact inherited by the god, accompanied by curses and dripping liquid, indicates that this god is not a great figure and not to be feared.
But that Ice Divine Sword is extremely troublesome. Give the order and tell everyone not to act rashly. Once the aura of the Tianwu Continent is completely eroded and we are no longer suppressed, we can settle scores with the human race. "Blood Fiend Demon Lord said.
"Yes,"
one of them nodded and left.
"Demon Lord, if we just wait like this, won't that hurt our morale?" One person said.
The Blood Fiend Demon Lord snorted coldly, "Your idea is foolish. Do you know why I want to cut off those old fellows?"
It's precisely because they're so foolish that showing off their strength to the Tianwu Continent now is completely meaningless.
Now that the era has come to an end, the Tianwu Continent is about to be destroyed. The old folks of Tianwu Continent surely know this.
The most terrifying thing about humanity is unity; such great power only forces them to band together for comfort and unity.
Only with overwhelming power, possessing strength that makes the opponent despair, can they break their confidence.
Those old guys are so foolish. At this moment, they're playing a 'fuel' tactic with the Tianwu Continent. If their bloodlines are fine, I suspect they're human spies, deliberately boosting human morale.
I never expected even you to be so foolish. If you weren't my bodyguard, I'd have killed you right now. After following me for so many years, you don't have a brain at all. The Blood Fiend Demon Lord said with a gloomy expression.
The speaker immediately turned pale with fright, hurriedly kneeling to admit his mistake. The other guards were also terrified, not daring to utter a sound.
"Any movement over at the Wolf God's Egg?" The Blood Fiend Demon Lord asked.
"Reporting to Lord Demon Lord, the Wolf God's Egg has been unusually active lately. The ancestral talisman has started to be absorbed, so it should be beginning to receive its inheritance. I believe it will soon break out of its shell." An Emperor Miao-level expert hurriedly said.
"That's great. The Wolf God that took over a hundred thousand years to nurture—I'm full of anticipation too."
The Blood Fiend Demon Lord wore a faint smile and suddenly stood up, saying, "My source power is damaged. I need to go back and replenish it."
During this period, you should go find the next Emperor Seedling. After Xue Ka dies, a new Emperor Seedling will be born. Bring him here so you don't delay the big event." "
Yes," those people replied in unison.
The Blood Fiend Demon Lord nodded. The blood sun behind him trembled and disappeared from everyone's sight. The few Emperor Miao-level experts quickly departed.
Within the Yin-Yang Realm, in a valley embraced by mountains, atop a giant egg, runes swirled. The vast power of vital energy caused countless cracks to appear in the space within ten thousand miles, with violent thunder, wind blades, and flames intertwining, creating a breathtaking scene.
The eggshell of the giant egg was already semi-transparent. From the outside, a curled figure could be vaguely seen, pure white all over, but at its forehead was a streak of blood-red light, like flames flickering.
It slept inside the eggshell, where runes outside the shell flowed, absorbing external forces. All the rune chains inside the shell intertwined, and endless power surged toward it like a hundred rivers converging into a sea.
And it was curled up inside the eggshell, its belly rising and falling as if still asleep. But with every breath, the laws of heaven and earth rose and fell with it. The scene was astonishing, as if it were a sleeping god who, once awakened, could destroy heaven and earth.
...
News of the battle between the Dragonblood Legion and the Blood Fiend Demon Lord instantly spread throughout the entire Tianwu Continent. Except for Long Chen, all the main forces of the Dragonblood Legion struck but still did not leave the Blood Fiend Demon Lord behind. The Blood Fiend Demon Lord suddenly became a nightmare for the continent.
People's hearts were filled with heaviness. The Blood Fiend Demon Lord was too powerful, and their confidence in Long Chen was starting to waver.
It should be known that the Blood Fiend Demon Lord could charge into the Tianwu Continent to fight, defeating the main force of the Dragonblood Legion and escaping unscathed. His terror was beyond words.
In contrast, when Long Chen entered the Yin-Yang Realm, it was Tianyu Zhenren who blocked the attack for him, allowing him to escape unscathed. Based on this alone, many believed that Long Chen was probably no match for the Blood Fiend Demon Lord.
Most importantly, the seal on Demon Spirit Mountain was slowly fading, and the demonic energy within the mountain was showing signs of seeping into the Tianwu Continent.
The Divine Clan vanished without a trace, no longer expressing their stance, leaving people puzzled by their intentions. Perhaps because Long Chen had angered the Divine Clan, they no longer interfered in the affairs of the Tianwu Continent.
In short, the people of Tianwu Continent began to feel anxious because Long Chen hadn't shown himself these past few days.
With a loud explosion, behind the Kaitian Battle Sect, there was a rocky hill. Now, this hill had become a desert, with wind and sand swirling everywhere, blocking out the sun.
"How many times have I told you? Control your anger and let your power reach balance before releasing it. Otherwise, chasing only great power will cause huge harm to your body and accumulate hidden injuries. Over time, in less than a hundred years, you'll be crippled." The old man roared, his throat almost smoking, and his voice hoarse. It seemed he had shouted countless times.
Amidst the swirling sand, Long Chen held the Dragonbone Evil Moon and locked eyes with the old man. The old man was out of breath, his face exhausted.
In the distance, Bao Buping, Chang Hao, and the seven elders lay in the sand like dead dogs, letting the wind and sand bury half their bodies, yet they remained completely motionless.
They were exhausted; these past few days with the old man felt like hell, and they felt like their bones were about to fall apart.
Among the crowd, only Long Chen was completely out of breath; even the old man was panting like an ox, glaring at Long Chen.
Long Chen said helplessly, "I really can't do this. Please let me do it this way. The cultivation methods are different, and I simply can't reach that balance."
Hidden injuries are hidden injuries, but I can heal myself anyway. I feel like I've mastered the ninth form of the Heaven-Opening Technique. The path I walk is different from yours, so please don't take the risk, old man."Sorry for me. "
Long Chen cultivated the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, the most fierce and domineering technique. Although the War God Atlas also follows a fierce and domineering path, it is soft within hardness.
And this trace of softness happened to be the key to cultivating the ninth form of the Heaven-Opening Technique. This trace of softness could cushion the backlash of the ninth form and resist part of the backlash, minimizing the side effects of this violent move.
Long Chen's Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique was all about fierce force, leaving no room for relaxation. Every attack was a direct clash, and over time, even an iron body couldn't withstand it.
Just like a stonemason's hammer, small hammers have hardwood or metal handles, but large hammers are always made of cork and have some flexibility.
This cork handle provided a cushion against the direct clash between the slugger's hammer and the rock, preventing injuries to the enemy and self-injury so much that the palm cracked.
Long Chen's power was wild—the greater the force, the greater the recoil. This was not the style of the Ninth Form of Heaven-Opening at all, which was why the old man was both anxious and angry.
"Damn it, how can a man admit he's incapable? Xiao Bao, come here and show Long Chen a demonstration. I don't believe it—I can't teach you? The old man shouted loudly.
Master Bao's "corpse" lying in the sand trembled slightly. He looked up, his face already like a bitter melon, his voice almost choked with tears:
"Old man, please spare us. It's been three days—can we catch a breath that only the living can breathe?"
To teach Long Chen how to use soft strength, not only did he have to be repeatedly practiced by the old man, but Bao Ye and others became his teaching materials. The old man kept sparring with them, allowing Long Chen to learn from them.
As a result, Bao Ye and the others were utterly plunged into a boundless hell. Every time they used the Ninth Form of Heaven-Opening Heaven, they were utterly exhausted.
They took turns demonstrating to Long Chen, but he just couldn't learn it. The old man, too, was determined to teach Long Chen a lesson. Now Master Bao and the others were in trouble—every day was just too much pain.
"Enough talk, get up quickly. I'm an old guy who can still stand, and you're all lying down—aren't you embarrassed?" The old man shouted angrily.
"You have the Blade of Heaven-Opening to assist, and you've unleashed ninety-half percent of our power. And you still have the nerve to say that?" If you have the ability, give me the Blade of Heaven-Opening, and we'll have another match. "Master Bao was furious.
"You... Looking for trouble, huh? The old man was so choked he couldn't find words to retort, and couldn't help but shout angrily. The reason he could be so relaxed was indeed because of the Blade of Heaven-Opening.
"You don't need to bother with any more trouble. Long Chen can't use gentle power. Once his Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique activates, it's all fierce force—charge forward bravely and can't retreat." At that moment, the Dragonbone Blood Moon finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.
"Impossible. Extremes inevitably reverse. There is no absolute thing in this world. Positive and reverse oppose each other, long and short contrast, strength and gentleness complement each other. Without gentleness, where can there be hardness?" This simply does not accord with the way of all things. The old man shook his head, not believing it would go against the laws of all things.
"That's how the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique works. If Long Chen tries to avoid it out of fear of injury, it goes against the original intent of the technique. His personality is shaped by his cultivation methods. Don't you know that? Continuing to waste time is simply pointless. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said calmly.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Alliance Leader has arrived and asked you to go quickly. He said there is something important." At that moment, a disciple of the Kaitian Battle Sect rushed over.
