The Celestial God lineage, the Immortal Family, is the supreme authority among humans. Legend has it that the Celestial God lineage has already declined, and now only eight great families remain in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Not long ago, the immortal Long family had a peerless prodigy who rose like a comet, his reputation surpassing all the monsters in Nieying Heaven.
He was Long Aotian, a next-generation ascender, yet possessed Seven-Colored Supreme Blood and extremely pure purple blood.
Possessing the strongest Supreme Bone and Exotic Spiritual Root, although the Long family hasn't publicized these traits.
But just the Seven-Colored Supreme Blood alone had already caused a sensation throughout Nieying Heaven. The Seven-Colored Supreme Blood, once claimed to be one of the strongest bloodlines, actually appeared in the Long family.
Many strong fighters who came by his reputation were defeated by Long Aotian, and none of the prodigies could withstand ten moves against him.
At most, Long Aotian fought fiercely for three days and nights, defeating 147 Three Extreme Supremes, making Long Aotian's name resound throughout Nie Ying Tian.
At the time, many people were very puzzled: why was the Long family so prominent? With such a prodigy, why not put them on the sidelines.
It wasn't until the Saint King Assembly that people found the answer: this arrogant Long Aotian had been defeated by Long Chen many times.
He faces challenges from all kinds of strong opponents to build confidence, making himself more confident through each victory.
Previously, the Long family caused a sensation because of Long Aotian's strong rise, but now, Long Aotian has been defeated by Long Chen, and a crushing defeat at that, leaving countless people sighing in regret.
Long Aotian wasn't weak enough, but unfortunately, he encountered a monster that could kill half-step immortal-level experts—so powerful it broke through realm limits and exceeded people's understanding.
In this Holy King Assembly, the Long family suffered heavy losses. The Long family's elites were almost completely wiped out, and even Long Aotian lost his spiritual blood, spiritual roots, and spiritual bones. From a peerless prodigy, he instantly became a cripple.
It is said that when Long Aotian was carried back to the Long family, the family patriarch was so furious he coughed up blood and threatened to demand Long Chen pay for his blood debt.
It had now been seven days since Long Aotian returned to the Long family, and the atmosphere throughout the Long family had become extremely heavy. Even the disciples guarding the gate were all trembling with fear, not daring to slack off even a little.
Because these Tianlong family leaders all have faces as long as donkeys' faces, all extremely cautious, afraid of saying the wrong thing or doing something wrong and getting caught on the ground.
The Long family is located in Nieying Tian'ao Long Prefecture, almost the entire city is their territory, with the Long family located in the core area of Ao Long Prefecture.
This place is nestled between mountains and water, surrounded by peaks, with dragon veins lying dormant underground, making it a feng shui treasure site.
But the usual bustling place was now deserted, leaving the place completely deserted. Suddenly, two figures slowly walked toward the Long family gate.
"Who is it... dragon ... dragon ... Long Chen! The
two had just approached the Long family's main gate when the gatekeeper shouted coldly, but when they got a clear look at Long Chen's face, they were so frightened they stammered.
Those two were none other than Long Chen and the Hall Master. With his inquiries, Long Chen easily found the Lingxiao Branch.
Arriving at the branch courtyard, Long Chen found the Hall Master and explained his intentions. Unexpectedly, the Hall Master readily agreed, saying that back in Lingxiao Pavilion, he owed Long Chen a favor, and this time he had repaid it.
With the Hall Master's backing, Long Chen immediately felt very confident. Originally, he wanted to outsmart the Long family, since his father was in their hands, and he didn't dare to force them too much.
But the dragon clan expert asking Long Chen to seek help from the Hall Master was already very clear. It disliked Long Chen's way of wasting a lot of time and energy, so it wanted Long Chen to be more decisive.
"Inform your family head that Long Chen has arrived." Long Chen said calmly.
The disciple was so frightened that he immediately ran away. As he crossed the threshold, he nearly tripped, clearly frightened by Long Chen.
However, when the disciple reported the news, Long Chen waited a full incense stick's time, and no one came out to greet him.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, the Long family disciples cried out in alarm.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen's gatehouse was shattered by Long Chen's punch. The violent force even shattered the formation with a huge hole. The disciples guarding the gate spat blood like rolling gourds, flying inside along with broken bricks and tiles.
"If you don't care about giving face, then there's no need to show you any respect. Hand over my father, or don't blame me, Long Chen, for being ruthless today." Long Chen shouted coldly, then strode toward the Long family's inner courtyard.
In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the Long family showed no reaction. Clearly, they wanted to give Long Chen a hard time, and of course, Long Chen wouldn't indulge their bad habits.
"How dare you, kid!"
Long Chen barged into the Long family home, and with a furious roar, a white-bearded elder rushed out—he was actually a half-step immortal-level powerhouse.
As soon as he appeared, he grabbed Long Chen in the chest with a claw and shouted sternly:
"You little beast, this is not a place for you to act recklessly."
"Old man, looks like you're just tired of living too long." Long Chen sneered, his five fingers hooked like hooks, and he also reached out with a claw toward the old man.
The old man did not use immortal power, and Long Chen also did not summon his battle body; he simply fought head-on with his physical strength.
"Bang!"
The two palms collided, and suddenly a sinister smile appeared on the old man's face. A net-like pattern appeared in his palm.
"Buzz!"
The web-like pattern crawled like thousands of venomous snakes, instantly enveloping Long Chen's arm. By the time Long Chen reacted, the net had already wrapped most of his body.
The old man was extremely sinister. The silk net was his immortal divine weapon. Seeing the opponent hadn't used his full strength, Long Chen struck casually and was instantly struck.
"What slaying several half-step immortal level experts in a row? In my eyes, it's nonsense. Give up resisting, or die!" The Long family elder shouted sternly.
He was extremely confident in his technique. The web was covered with poisonous thorns. Once it touched his body, it would instantly pierce and immobilize him. This move had killed countless powerful opponents.
He knew Long Chen was strong, but he bullied Long Chen for being young and arrogant. As expected, Long Chen was caught off guard.
"Foolish idiot, remember in your next life: any scheme or trick is nonsense in the face of absolute power." Long Chen was caught in the net, yet showed no sign of panic; instead, his eyes showed disdain.
The old man's expression changed. Suddenly, the net in his hand tightened rapidly. With a sizzling sound, half of Long Chen's clothes were torn apart, revealing the dragon scale armor beneath it. Within the golden scales were seven-colored divine radiance, and the sharp spikes in the old man's net could not penetrate them.
The old man was greatly alarmed, immediately sensing something was wrong.
"Keep someone under your hand!" someone exclaimed.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen pierced the old man's head with a claw.
"Hold on but not act, act but not spare—what were you doing earlier?"
"Thud"
As Long Chen finished speaking, the corpse of the half-step immortal-level elder of the Long family collapsed to the ground.
