"Boom!"
When the snow-white lotus struck the barrier, it was like thin ice crushed by a millstone, instantly pierced through.
"Pfft!"
The lotus sculpture-like ice struck the Pelican clan's powerful figures, shattering countless people as if the ice sculptures had been violently struck, blood-red ice shards flying everywhere.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the lotus exploded with a thunderous crash, white flames raging, instantly enveloping the entire Pelican clan camp.
Ice covered the ground, flames lit up the sky, and hundreds of thousands of Pelican clan warriors instantly turned to nothingness.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Cold
air howled across the world, flames soared into the sky, and the terrified screams of the Pelican clan warriors seemed to echo in their ears, but at this moment, that voice had become a silent echo.
"No wonder it's ranked eighth on the Heavenly Fire List—the Ice Soul—a true world-destroying power." Long Chen looked at the camp turned into icy ruins, also shocked.
He hadn't used the power of the Ice Soul for a long time. The Fire Spirit was now too strong, and with a small trial like a's blade, he had intimidated everyone.
Such a terrifying strike could only be blocked by an Innate Heavenly Venerable, and the Pelican clan had only one Innate Heavenly Venerable, who was cursed to death by the Heavenly Dao. The rest were nothing but a rabble.
The Ice Soul strike shook heaven and earth. The surrounding onlookers all turned pale. The strike was so terrifying that even the Innate Heavenly Venerable felt their hearts pound.
"I, Long Chen, never cause trouble, and I'm never afraid of it. If you reason with me, we'll reason with you; if you talk to me about fists, I'll talk to you about fists.
Since you want my life, don't blame me, Long Chen, for being ruthless. If anyone thinks I'm a pushover, come and give me a try." Long Chen looked around in all directions, looking down on the others, his voice echoing through heaven and earth.
In the area surrounded by the beast clan, Long Chen's words were indeed somewhat arrogant, but none of the powerful figures present dared to make a sound.
The Innate Heavenly Venerable dared not attack Long Chen, fearing the curse of misfortune. Ordinary Heavenly Venerables and below were all intimidated by Long Chen's strike and dared not make a move. For a moment, the entire world fell silent, and no one dared to make a sound.
The Pelican clan was malicious and intent on stirring up hatred between the beast clan and the human race, hoping everyone would join forces against Long Chen.
If Long Chen hadn't used bloody means to wipe out the Pelicans clan, these people might really have attacked him. Long Chen wasn't afraid of these clowns, but he didn't have enough time to waste on them.
Seeing that no one dared to make a sound, Long Chen waved his hand and led everyone away, surrounded by the beasts.
This time, no one dared to mock or humiliate them, and even less dared to let them take a detour. The once formidable beast clan had become much more docile.
"It really is a case of good people getting bullied, and good horses getting ridden. When dealing with these guys, you can't give them any face—instead, you should slap them hard and they'll behave." Guo Ran couldn't help but mutter.
Previously, because the Moonwatching Clan tried to act friendly to other beast tribes, their friendliness turned into submission in others' eyes.
Now things were different—no longer arrogant, no longer blustering. Long Chen had wiped out all the Pelican clan experts in one strike, and this group didn't even dare to make a sound.
Long Chen and the others sped all the way, but after passing through this area, beastfolk began to warn and even scold them again.
Long Chen and the others ignored them completely. They were already prepared: if anyone dared to attack them, they would be killed without mercy. In the cultivation world, only killing earned respect and awe. Reasoning with them was like climbing a tree to catch a fish.
However, although the beast clan warned and scolded them, they did not actually take action, which disappointed Guo Ran and the others.
Because Guo Ran said that next time they encounter an Innate Heavenly Venerable, everyone should attack together and try to bleed first, so Xia Chen can obtain some of the beast's essence blood.
Moreover, this essence blood must be collected before the curse of misfortune. Once it is cursed, it becomes useless.
But along the way, there were many curses but no one resorting to violence. Xia Chen couldn't help but mutter,
"It seems the Pelican clan really is destined for this disaster. We've passed through so many beast camps, but only they made a move."
"Boss, do you think luck is really reliable?" Guo Ran asked.
"This thing is mysterious beyond words, impossible to explain. If it really exists, wouldn't that mean some things are destined by fate, unchangeable?"
If we are born with many things predestined, then why would we cultivate?
We are all ordinary mortals, destined to be born and old, sick, and die. To cultivate in this way is to defy heaven. If mortals become immortals and go against the Heavenly Way, wouldn't we all be doomed? Long Chen said.
"So, boss, do you mean that luck doesn't exist anymore?" Guo Ran said.
"No, no, no, it definitely exists. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so unlucky all the time." Long Chen said with absolute certainty.
When Long Chen said this, everyone burst into laughter.
"But the Pelican clan's situation is indeed a bit strange. Perhaps their clan's fortune has already declined, and all sorts of misfortunes have happened together.
Even before we made a move, it was obvious that the 'neighbors' around him weren't friendly to them.
And their ancestor was already dead. Logically, they should have behaved down, since they had no one to rely on.
The people around were just there to watch the spectacle; the chances of risking their lives were extremely slim.
And yet they still recklessly provoke us. All signs clearly suggest they are courting death, somewhat contrary to logic.
It was as if an invisible hand was behind us, pushing them step by step into the abyss. Now we have slain the elite of the Pelican clan.
Without these elite troops, the Pelican clan would likely struggle to survive. When their enemies came knocking, they might truly be wiped out. Long Chen said with a somewhat serious expression.
Everyone became serious upon hearing this. Fortune is ethereal and intangible, invisible and intangible, yet its power commands awe.
After flying for a full two hours, Long Chen and the others finally reached the end of the beast clan's territory, and at the same time, they sensed the presence of the human race.
"Boom boom boom...
When Long Chen and the others emerged from the territory of the beast clan, they saw the prodigies of the beast clan and the human race locked in a frenzy, locked in fierce battle.
At the dividing line between the human territory and the beast clan's territory, dozens of human prodigies were fiercely battling the prodigies of the beast clan. They fought one-on-one, each fighting their own. The strong warriors of the human and beast clans were cheering for the prodigies of their respective races.
"The Saint King Assembly hasn't even started yet, and someone is already losing patience. Is this some kind of advance rehearsal?" Seeing this scene, Guo Ran said somewhat speechlessly.
"Pfft"
As soon as Guo Ran finished speaking, a powerful member of the demon beast clan pierced through the chest of a human prodigy with his sharp claws. Amid countless cries of shock, the human prodigy was torn apart by force.
"This isn't a drill."
Long Chen shook his head. This was an outburst of hatred between humans and beast clans—every move was a desperate fight.
"The seventh one. The human race is all useless, only fit to crawl at our beast clan's feet."
After killing the human prodigy, the demon beast clan expert sneered coldly at them.
"Too arrogant! Let me teach him a lesson!"
A Dragonblood warrior stepped forward from the Dragonblood Legion.
