At that moment, heaven and earth underwent a great transformation. The figures of the Eastern Wilderness Bell, Western Desert Axe, South Sea Zither, Northern Source Sword, and Central Continent Cauldron all illuminated the Ninth Heaven at the same time.
The five divine artifacts were finally assembled, their true forms still in everyone's hands, and the phantom images appearing in the sky seemed to be the gathering of their souls.
The divine light of the five great artifacts blossomed, enveloping the entire Central Continent. Above the Tianwu Sea Ring, the true form of the Ling Tian Bracelet appeared.
The Ling Tian Bracelet was enormous, so large it was terrifying. Especially after absorbing the power of the blood soul, strange runes appeared all over its body, like countless poisonous dragons coiling around, emitting an eerie aura.
The Ling Tian bracelet was like a deadly hand, gripping the heart of the Tianwu Continent. Ma Ruyun's strike had caught Long Chen off guard, and in the worst possible way.
"Senior, are you the Spirit of the Tianwu Continent?" Long Chen asked urgently.
"I am the core of the Tianwu Continent. All living beings in the world are nurtured by me.
Now I am doomed, destined to be destroyed in this era. I do not fear destruction, but I hope my children can escape this calamity.
I can give you my last strength to help you become emperor. I have only one request: I hope you can rescue everyone here. "That voice came, gentle and gentle. It was a woman, like a mother entrusting her orphan on her deathbed.
For some reason, hearing that voice, Long Chen felt a pang in his heart. This was the last bit of tenderness the Tianwu Continent had left for people.
"Boom!"
Long Chen blocked Ye Ming's attack, his blood and energy surging from the shock. Ye Ming had fully attained the emperor status. The City of Wrongful Death was behind him, and the power of his imperial Dao was endless—that was the source of his strength.
"Long Chen, you don't need to be afraid. You've humiliated me so many times, I won't let you die so easily. The humiliation you gave me, I will repay a hundredfold."
With a wave of Ye Ming's hand, the void was torn apart. With a kick that landed in midair, the laws of the Great Dao shattered under his blow.
"Boom!"
Long Chen blocked the attack, but was kicked into the ground like a meteor. The earth shattered and Long Chen sank into the crust.
"It's useless. Even if you're a Nine-Star heir, you haven't awakened Haki yet, so you still can't win this war.
The reason I chose you as the breakthrough is because you are the successor of the Nine Stars. But to break the deadlock, you must prove to be emperor. Don't hesitate any longer. The voice sighed.
"If I use your power to become emperor, all your power will be drained by me, and you will die immediately." Long Chen said anxiously.
Long Chen knew that after the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, the energy required would become increasingly terrifying.
Long Chen had a premonition that once he attained the emperor status, the core of the Tianwu Continent would be completely destroyed.
Tianwu Continent is determined to protect the people of this world; how could Long Chen use its power?
"Don't worry about me. I've already been controlled by Ling Tian Zhuo. Even if I don't die, I'll fall into their hands and become a tool."
As long as I die, the power of the Ling Tian bracelet will also be affected. When that happens, seize the chance to shatter it.
Once you become emperor, none of these people will be your match. I beg you to send these innocent people to a safe place where they can quietly thrive..." the voice said.
"Ling Tian Bracelet"
Long Chen was suddenly struck by a flash of inspiration, and suddenly the ground split open—Long Chen was actually bounced back.
"Want to be a coward? Aren't you supposed to be so arrogant? Still arrogant? Long
Chen had just flown out when Ye Ming was already waiting for him. With a wave of his hand, he slapped Long Chen across the face.
"Smack!"
Before his hand could reach him, Long Chen's big slap landed squarely on his face. With a loud bang, Long Chen retreated, narrowly avoiding Ye Ming's slap.
"Rumble rumble... Suddenly
, the altars of the demon beast clan, blood clan, and demon clan roared loudly, and a vast imperial might began to rise upward.
"No time to play with you, go to hell!"
Ye Ming's expression changed. He hadn't expected the other races to be well-prepared. So soon, the Nine-Headed Lion, Moluo Tianxing, and Blood Fiend Demon Lord were about to begin their imperial reigns.
He had to seize the core of the star domain before they could become emperors; otherwise, once they became emperors, their chances of obtaining the treasure would greatly decrease.
Stepping on the void, he struck Long Chen back with a palm, then a bone spear appeared in his hand, stabbing toward Long Chen's throat.
Just as the spear was about to pierce Long Chen's throat, a large hand suddenly grabbed the spear, which was only about an inch from his neck.
Long Chen broke out in a cold sweat. The bone spear was like the fangs of a venomous snake. The moment it appeared, every pore in his body opened open. This was a terrifying fierce weapon.
A figure in white appeared before Long Chen. He turned to look at Long Chen, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "
Young man, we meet again."
"Brother Yunshang!"
Long Chen cried out in surprise. The one who saved him was none other than Emperor Yunshang.
Ye Ming was startled when he saw Emperor Yunshang. The bone spear in his hand trembled, slipping out of his grip and retreating. His expression grew filled with shock and doubt. Suddenly, he looked up at the void, his eyes filled with terror.
Long Chen followed Ye Ming's gaze, and at some point, a figure appeared beneath each of the five supreme artifacts.
Long Chen saw Emperor Qingxu, Emperor Moli, Emperor Hanwei, and Emperor Ziyang—five emperors appearing at the same time.
As soon as the five Emperors appeared, the people in the core area erupted in cheers, kneeling on the ground one after another, so moved that tears streamed down their faces.
Five Great Emperors appeared simultaneously, believing that the Tianwu Continent was finally saved.
"Long Chen, go ahead. Following her arrangements is her wish, and it's our wish too.
You once asked me, why did I die? I didn't answer you at the time, but now I'll tell you.
No one can kill us; we die willingly, returning our fortune to this world to support the entire world's continuous operation.
Generation after generation, we pass the relay all to wait for one person to break this deadlock and end this endless era of hunting. Emperor Yunshang looked at Long Chen, patted his shoulder with his large hand, and shook him vigorously:
"I believe in you. You can definitely do it."
"He's already dead, why meddling in other people? Go die!"
At first, Ye Ming was filled with fear, but then he thought, something is off. I'm an emperor myself, and the other party is already dead—what is there to fear? The Night Nether Bone Spear struck down from midair, including Long Chen and Emperor Yun Shang.
"Bang!"
Emperor Yunshang struck out with his palm, the air currents surging. His palm struck the bone spear, and the void cracked open like a spiderweb. Endless aura of laws flowed, and Emperor Yunshang actually struck Ye Ming with a single palmHe caught the blow.
Emperor Yunshang looked at Ye Ming and shook his head: "If I were still alive, you would have died and lost your Dao. You are too weak." "
Bang!"
Suddenly, Emperor Yunshang's palm trembled. Ye Ming felt a tremendous force surge, and his body involuntarily staggered back seven or eight steps. As his blood and energy surged, blood actually trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Long Chen, time is tight. Don't be fooled by them. This is just a group of characters." After Yun Shang finished speaking, he pushed Long Chen, and Long Chen vanished in an instant.
