"Ninth Elder, wait a moment."
The injured old man was grabbed by another elder nearby.
"Seventh Elder, what are you doing?" The Ninth Elder shouted angrily.
It turned out these three were the seventh, eighth, and ninth elders of the Ye family. The ninth elder had been wounded and suffered a heavy blow, so he immediately summoned the other two elders to attack.
The Seventh Elder looked coldly at Long Chen and Uncle Huai beside Long Chen and said, "
Who exactly are you?" Why provoke my Ye family? If you don't give a suitable reason, you will die without a grave." "
This man's tone was extremely sharp, but in reality, he also wanted to probe the opponent's background. After all, anyone who could seriously injure the Ninth Elder was definitely not an ordinary person.
Although the Ninth Elder said he was careless at the time and injured after being ambushed, when the Seventh Elder saw Uncle Huai, his heart skipped a beat. He knew he was a terrifying powerhouse, so he wanted to first probe the opponent's background.
"Provoking the Ye family?"
Long Chen and the others laughed in anger. They clearly helped your Ye family, yet you repaid kindness with betrayal, fought back, and now it turned into provocation? Is there anyone in the world more unreasonable than this?
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to waste words with them and said coldly, "If you want to fight, then do it. If you don't, get lost. Why all this nonsense?" Long
Chen knew they wanted to know if he had any backing. If he had strong enough backing to rival the Ye family, then everything was still negotiable.
But if the acquired strength isn't strong enough and the Ye family doesn't take them seriously, then the Ye family will ruthlessly kill them without any hesitation.
At the same time, there is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: when facing danger, if you do not reveal your identity, even if you are killed, it is difficult to hold you accountable.
Although the Ye family is an immortal clan, a Celestial God clan, being able to ask Long Chen about his origins at this time proves that even the Celestial God clan is not absolute authority in Nie Ying Tian; there are forces they fear. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to investigate Long Chen's background.
"If that's the case, then all of you may die!"
Seeing that Long Chen had no intention of revealing his identity, the Seventh Elder flew into a rage. It was clear he looked down on them.
"Rumble rumble ..."
The three Ye family Heavenly Lords struck simultaneously. The phenomenon behind them spread wide, covering the sky like three heavenly gods descending. At that moment, all paths were under their control, life and death were unstoppable.
"Whoosh!"
Uncle Huai made his move. With one hand, he struck down, unleashing the unique aura of the Undying Clan, and behind him, a towering locust tree appeared.
"You are from the Undying Clan."
The three were startled. Previously, Uncle Huai had been hiding his presence and couldn't discern his origins, but as soon as he made a move, they immediately recognized his identity.
"Boom!"
Uncle Huai struck down with his palm, the immortal aura swirling and the laws of the Dao shattered. The three Ye family experts, shocked and enraged, simultaneously defended themselves. With a loud explosion, the mountains shattered, myriad paths roared, and in an instant, a terrifying shockwave swept across the heavens.
Long Chen and the others were prepared, but the terrifying shockwave still sent them tumbling outward. The power of a Celestial Venerable was simply impossible to resist.
"Too strong!"
It was Xia Chen's first time witnessing a battle between Heavenly Venerable-level experts. Just the aftershock alone was hard to resist.
The once beautiful mountains and rivers around were instantly leveled. Only when the Celestial Venerable acted did he truly destroy heaven and earth. Looking at the cracks in the void above like spider webs, everyone's hearts raced wildly.
"Is the Undying Clan really that impressive? How dare you oppose my Ye family, courting death! The
Seventh Elder roared. Though shocked upon learning Uncle Huai's identity, he immediately let go of his fear. He drew his sword, sending a flying rainbow to the heavens as he slashed fiercely at Uncle Huai.
At this moment, he was truly ruthless in killing. Although the Undying Clan had a powerful background, their relationship with the human race was strained, and wars between them were common, so there was no need for any reservations.
The Seventh Elder slashed his sword in midair, instantly reaching Uncle Huai's brow. Uncle Huai snorted coldly:
"The Undying Clan isn't that impressive, but killing you all shouldn't take much effort."
Uncle Huai is wooden and easygoing, rarely getting angry. Because of this, he has survived so long in the eyes of demons. If he had a bad temper, he would have died of anger long ago.
Seeing the Seventh Elder slash at him, Uncle Huai suddenly clasped his large hand together and, with a snap, forcibly caught the sword.
When the sword was gripped, it was as if it had been forged in Uncle Huai's hand. The overwhelming power on the Seventh Elder's sword vanished in an instant, like a clay ox plunging into the sea, vanishing without a trace.
At the same time, a layer of bark-like substance covered the sword, rapidly wrapping around his large hand.
The Seventh Elder's expression changed. He didn't know what that thing was, but seeing it made his scalp tingle.
With a sharp shout, the phenomenon behind him suddenly dimmed. His sword trembled, and with a loud explosion, he finally broke free from Uncle Huai's grip with all his might.
"Rumble... The
bark covering the longsword shattered into pieces, hitting the ground and leaving huge holes in the earth.
As soon as the cave formed, the earth seemed poisoned. Millions of miles of land were instantly covered with tree bark, creating an utterly terrifying sight.
"Buzz!"
The Seventh Elder had just broken free from Uncle Huai's grip with all his strength, while the Eighth and Ninth Elders were already charging in, their two long swords aimed straight at Uncle Huai's back.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Uncle Huai produced a purple staff in his hand and smashed it fiercely at the two of them. The purple divine radiance erupted, infecting the entire world.
With a loud explosion, the void shattered. The violent force tore the earth apart, endless magma erupted from beneath the ground, and the entire world instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Fragments of the Heavenly Dao intertwined with endless lava, and the waves of energy spread out in all directions like deathly ripples, erasing all vitality in heaven and earth. When the Heavenly Venerable acted, it brought endless destruction.
Long Chen and the others retreated far away, still stinging their faces from the terrifying fierce wind, as if cut by knives. In front of the Celestial Venerable, they seemed so insignificant.
"The Celestial Venerable is too powerful. God and Dao unite, intention and dharma form. With every gesture, Heaven's will is aligned, all laws depend, and he simply cannot resist."
Yu Qingxuan watched Uncle Huai fiercely battle three Heavenly Venerables and couldn't help but sigh.
Heavenly Venerables are an insurmountable barrier. They can defeat Earth Venerables and fear no three-flower-level Earth Venerables, but before Heavenly Venerables, they seem utterly powerless.
This powerlessness came more from the pressure of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao was already controlled by the Celestial Venerable, leaving them with no place to hide. How could they possibly fight them?
"The Three Flowers merge into one, merging heaven and earth, which is indeed difficult to deal with. However, our Dragon Blood Legion never yields to the Heavenly Dao. So what if the Heavenly Venerable is so? Is he really greater than the sky? Long Chen said.
Ever since
Long Chen cultivated the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, he has been fighting against the Heavenly Dao. Has every tribulation not been a near-death struggle? But Long Chen never compromised, nor was he afraid.
"Rumble... Uncle
Huai fought three opponents alone, slaughtering until the sky darkened and the moon dimmed, yet he was not at a disadvantage. Even without the support of the Nether Emperor's formation, his strength remained formidable.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a figure withdrew from the battle circle—it was the Ninth Elder. His face was sinister and vicious, and with a flicker, he charged straight at Long Chen and the others who were watching the commotion.
"If you can't beat the old ones, let's kill you little brats first." The Ninth Elder wore a sinister smile, murderous intent surging in his eyes.
"Let's attack together and kill this bastard."
As the Ninth Elder charged at Long Chen and the others, Long Chen reached behind his back with his large hand and tightly gripped the hilt of the Minghong Blade. The fighting spirit of Guo Ran, Xia Chen, and the others was instantly ignited.
