The dagger pierced Qi Hong's brow, his face still filled with terror, unwillingness, and confusion.
Before dying, he thought that the Treasure-Gathering Chain was formed from the power of faith, and it combined the strength of thirty-six Realm Kings. Unless Long Chen's strength could crush the combined strength of all thirty-six people several times over, it would be possible to break the chain formation.
Seeing Long Chen like a caged bird, now broken out of the seal, he died with such unwillingness.
"Thud!"
Qi Hong's corpse slowly collapsed to the ground. Long Chen shattered his soul, and he saw a beautiful jade stone the size of a palm.
Within the jade, a beautiful snowflake pattern sparkled, pure and pure as ice, yet flickering with snow-white flames.
That was the treasure Bai Fang had mentioned—the Ice Soul. Only after learning about it did Long Chen realize just how extraordinary it was.
That was one of the top ten heavenly fires, ranked above the Rainbow Rainbow Flame, the Ice Flame Ice Soul.
Bai Fang didn't know that this treasure was the legendary Ice Soul, ranked eighth on the Top Ten Heavenly Fire List. No one knew the origin of this Ice Soul Divine Jade, and how the Bai family ancestors obtained the Ice Soul was so ancient that no one knew its true origin.
Originally, the Bai family was a prosperous clan for thousands of generations, but as the family declined, they gradually became a low-ranking clan, barely making ends meet.
The fallen family had only left behind this one treasure. Although they didn't know what it was for, it was the oldest thing passed down in their family, so they treasured it exceptionally.
However, because of one incident, the Bai family offended petty villains and were wiped out, leaving only two siblings to escape.
The persecutors of the Bai family were connected to Qi Song, a man in a brocade robe on the giant ship, who had mentioned the Bai family's affairs to him, saying they possessed a world-shaking treasure that Qi Song should be cautious of.
In fact, that person had no idea what treasures the Bai family had. They had searched the entire Binhai Star Domain but couldn't find the siblings, and fearing trouble, deliberately claimed they had treasures, essentially using others to kill with a borrowed knife.
And things happened by coincidence—the two of them did have treasures on them, and then Qi Song set their sights on them. Qi Song himself didn't know how extraordinary this treasure was, and thought it was just an ordinary item.
Then he told Qi He about the matter, and Qi He told Qi Hong, but Qi Hong didn't take it seriously and let them handle it themselves, which ended up drawing Long Chen out.
Then Qi Hong tried to extract the treasure in Bai Fang's hand. When he saw the Ice Soul Divine Jade, he was nearly scared to death. He was a man who recognized its value, and this was a peerless treasure.
Although he didn't know what it was for, being associated with the eighth-ranked Ice Soul on the Heavenly Fire Ranking was definitely priceless.
However, Bai Fang still kept a hand: this Ice Soul Divine Jade cannot be opened; it seems to contain endless energy locked inside. Only Bai Fang knows how to open it.
After Bai Fang taught Long Chen the method of activation, he died. Qi Hong returned to the port and used a secret technique to send the Ice Soul Divine Jade away to someone named Yushu Sama. Now, that jade was no longer with him.
Long Chen suddenly looked at the leading Realm King expert and said coldly, "Who is Yushu?" "
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Thirty-six Realm Kings struck simultaneously, attacking Long Chen once again.
"If you don't answer, then go die!" Huo Ling'er, Lei Ling'er, kill them for me, leave no one alive. Long
Chen's face darkened, too lazy to waste words with this group. He had to quickly reclaim the Ice Soul Divine Jade, or else if it fell into the hands of the Longteng Trading Company's executives, he would never get it back.
Before Bai Fang died, he entrusted him to retrieve the Ice Soul Divine Jade. It was a treasure he had originally intended to give to Long Chen, but Qi Hong tricked him away. At that moment, he was filled with regret. He hated his own foolishness, which led to his resolve to die. If Long Chen couldn't get the Ice Soul Divine Jade back, he would die with regrets.
"Ice and Fire Break the Heavens"
Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er appeared, and with a sharp shout, a fire dragon and another thunder dragon intertwined, their thunder and fire powers merging, piercing through the sky.
"Boom!"
As soon as Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er appeared, they shattered the thirty-six chains. Endless flame and thunder runes swirled across the world, like a giant firework covering the world, dazzling and brilliant.
But behind these fireworks was endless destructive energy, and the treasure bowls in the hands of the thirty-six powerful figures exploded with a thunderous crash.
The treasure basin might have resisted the power of the flames, but the tribulation power on Lei Ling'er shattered it directly. The faith artifact seemed so fragile in the face of the tribulation.
"What?"
These Realm Kings were stunned, and at that moment, Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er had already charged forward. One wielded the World-Destroying Thunderlight, the other wielded the World-Destroying Fire Lotus. Both deadly moves were hurled at the group as if they were free.
"Puff puff puff..."
The treasure bowls in the hands of these Realm King experts shattered. Before they could even switch weapons, they were swallowed by the light of thunder and fire, shattering one after another.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Long Chen's Minghong Blade and the elder's long blade clashed, the sound shaking the heavens, sparks flying. Long Chen narrowed his eyes: Second Realm King.
This was a Realm King of the Second Heaven. Just as Bai Letian had said, for a Realm King whose cultivation advances by one level, the difference in combat power becomes worlds apart. A Realm King at the second level is several times stronger than a Realm King at the first level.
Meanwhile, the Realm King of the Second Heaven looked utterly shocked. Long Chen, a mere disciple of the Divine Lord Realm, could actually withstand him, a Realm King at the Second Level.
"Who exactly is this kid?" The Second Heaven Realm King roared angrily.
He was shocked. With Long Chen's talent and combat power, without a terrifying background, he absolutely couldn't be cultivated.
"You bunch of beasts, do you think you have the right to ask my name?" Long Chen roared, his long blade slashing like a raging storm.
"Boom boom boom... The
two exchanged more than a dozen slashes in one breath. With the final explosion, the Realm King still couldn't fight Long Chen and was forced back five or six steps by Long Chen's strike.
"Puff puff"
Just as the Realm King was struggling to steady himself to fend off Long Chen's next strike, a blade of thunder and a blade of flame pierced his back.
"Boom!"
Long Chen pierced his brow with a single blade, shattering his soul. With a wave of his large hand, a nameplate at his waist fell into Long Chen's grasp.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen put away Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er. The nameplate in his hand glowed, and his entire body was enveloped in divine light. Amid the spatial turbulence, he vanished in an instant.
Originally, there were thirty-six strong warriors, but now only seven remained. Their faces were pale, their eyes filled with fear.
"Not good, he went to the headquarters of the Changqing Prefecture Chamber of Commerce." A Realm King shouted, activating the nameplate as well, and they all disappeared.
Thus, a great battle ended. The powerful figures watching from afar,Everyone was stunned, staring at the deformed crust and at the corpses of Realm King-level experts, unable to speak for a long time.
