With a single slash, the complex was simplified. At that moment, Long Chen and the Minghong Blade felt as if they were connected by blood.
When the Minghong Blade successfully advanced to the Immortal Divine Weapon, the raging dragon power within him finally found an outlet, and the dragon power surged forth.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot,"
Long Aotian sneered. His entire body radiated seven-colored divine radiance, chaotic energy surged, and the Seven Absolute Sword in his hand slashed down with endless divine radiance.
"Boom!"
The sword energy and blade shadows clashed like two meteors colliding. The tremendous explosion shook the entire world to its color.
"Rumble...
Shockwaves churned, crashing into the barrier like a tsunami. The entire arena began to deform, and the strong fighters inside were struck like meteors. Countless weaker cultivators were shaken and spurted blood wildly.
Their strike caused a huge impact on the entire battlefield. The powerful impact made countless people lose their balance and breathing difficult, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
High in the void, Long Chen and Long Aotian locked eyes. Long Chen's Minghong Blade was pointed at Long Aotian, and endless fighting intent surged—not only for Long Chen, but also for the Minghong Blade.
The Minghong Blade self-destructed its sheath, successfully advancing to an immortal divine weapon. However, this was a self-destructive form of advancement.
When its runes run out, it will perish completely, and there will be no Minghong in the world anymore. This is the Minghong Blade's own choice, and Long Chen cannot change it.
Minghong Saber fought alongside Long Chen all the way, becoming the closest companions and most trusted comrades-in-arms.
After countless attempts, the Minghong Blade finally saw the reality: the quasi-divine weapon was its limit. It could never advance to an immortal divine weapon—that was its fate.
During the arena battle, Long Chen had always fought barehanded, because he knew that if he deployed the Minghong Blade to fight against an immortal divine weapon, the blade would be at risk of shattering.
But the Minghong Blade also has its own dignity and pride. It cannot accept being shelved; it would rather die on the battlefield.
When it was shattered, the Minghong Blade finally realized the gap between itself and the immortal divine weapon, but it showed no fear; instead, it ignited its endless fighting spirit.
It pleaded with Long Chen to let it shine one last time in its glory, so it could leave with dignity.
Now that it had advanced to an immortal divine weapon, Long Chen's surging dragon power surged into its body, directly clashing with Long Aotian's Seven Absolute Sword.
The Minghong Blade roared and exploded, trembling continuously. It was excited, it was cheering, and endless fighting spirit was rising.
Long Aotian glared coldly at Long Chen, a trace of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth: "You're sacrificing your own long blade to boost your combat power. Long Chen, it seems you're really out of tricks." "
Buzz"
Long Chen said nothing more, raising the Minghong Blade once again.
"Huff, huff, huff."
The Minghong Blade slashed three times in succession. Strangely, each strike struck empty air, without a howling wind or a rolling wave of air.
But with every strike Long Chen struck, the aura on the Minghong Blade was layered with a layer. To outsiders, it looked strange, but Long Aotian's expression changed.
"Buzz!"
The chaotic phenomenon behind Long Aotian trembled, and on the Seven Absolute Sword in his hand, the radiance of sun and moon suddenly appeared. The long sword emitted a thunderous roar.
"Sss!"
Long Aotian shouted sharply. The Seven Absolute Sword, carrying endless divine radiance, fiercely slashed at Long Chen. He saw through Long Chen's intentions. Long Chen was performing an accumulation technique, each strike carrying the power of the previous strike. If the power continued to accumulate, no one knew how far it would go.
"Fourth Form of Heaven-Splitting" Long
Aotian struck first. Long Chen could no longer stack it, so the Minghong Blade suddenly slashed out. At the moment the blade struck, four blade shadows suddenly appeared in the world.
The four blade shadows merged at the moment of the final strike, and the roaring sounds of heaven and earth vanished instantly.
"Supreme Seven Absolute Slash!"
Long Aotian shouted coldly. The moment he unleashed this strike, the phenomenon behind him suddenly dimmed, as if the power of the phenomenon had been drained by this sword.
"Boom!"
This was a world-shaking collision. The moment the two divine weapons clashed, the entire world instantly lost its color. Whether inside or outside the arena, no one could see anything.
Immediately after, a grayish-white scene appeared before people's eyes, and within the gray-white world, a point of light appeared.
The point of light was exactly at the center where the Minghong Blade and the Seven Absolute Sword collided. The spot rapidly expanded, beams of light like sharp swords piercing through the arena's barrier and radiating outward.
"What?"
People exclaimed in surprise, not expecting their attacks to extend beyond the arena, with countless powerful figures blocking them.
"Boom boom boom... The
strong fighters outside the arena struggled desperately to resist, but some of the weaker ones were directly killed by the terrifying divine light, throwing the entire scene into chaos.
"Boom boom!"
Two explosions rang out inside the arena. Long Chen and Long Aotian were simultaneously slashed and sent flying, crashing hard into the barriers on either side of the arena.
The barrier behind the two of them trembled, cracking widely. At this moment, the arena's barrier was riddled with holes, seemingly on the verge of bursting at any moment.
Those terrifying lightsabers flew out from the cracks in the arena, and after the two collided, the cracks had increased.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen and Long Aotian simultaneously propped themselves up on the barrier, and like meteors, they charged fiercely toward the other again.
"Oh my god, such a terrifying impact, and neither of them was hurt at all."
People were shocked. Many thought that after this strike, they were basically half-crippled, but unexpectedly, they acted as if nothing had happened and charged forward again.
"Die!"
The two shouted almost simultaneously, focusing all their strength on the divine weapon in their hands. This was a brute clash with no shortcuts, and the easiest contest to determine who came out of favor.
"Boom boom boom boom... The
two slashed wildly, their figures shifting like ghosts startled like startled swans, sword energy and blade shadows crisscrossing wildly, murderous intent soaring to the sky.
"Boom!"
A blade shadow shot out, striking the gap in the barrier. Through the gap, it sped straight toward the human camp, heading straight for the Purple Blood Xu family.
The Xu family expert shouted angrily. An innate Celestial Venerable wielding a divine weapon slashed down at the blade shadow. With a loud explosion, the Xu Family's Celestial Venerable spurted blood wildly and was severely injured.
The onlookers were shocked. Long Chen's strike was a refracted aura after Long Aotian blocked, and most of his strength had already been dissipated. Yet he could still seriously injure an innate Celestial Venerable-level expert—this power was terrifying.
"Boom!"
Another earth-shattering collision occurred. Long Aotian and Long Chen both retreated simultaneously, their divine weapons pointed at each other, their eyes sharp as lightning, like leopards staring at their opponents.
"Their aura has finally started to decline."
Someone exclaimed. After thousands of rounds of fierce battle, Long Chen and Long Aotian were finally starting to catch their breath.
"Out of strength?" Isn't that a bit too early? The battle hadn't really started yet. Long
Aotian sneered, then suddenly shouted:
"Purple Blood fills the sky!"
With his shout, boundless purple energy shot up into the sky. At that moment, the strong warriors of the Purple Blood Xu family outside the arena nearly popped their eyes out
"This is impossible"?
