Long Chen's sword slashed with full force, sending the Nine Star heir's head flying up and exploding in the void.
But to Long Chen's shock, the Nine-Star successor lost his head and his aura weakened, yet he still did not die, throwing a fierce punch at Long Chen.
"Boom!"
Long Chen kicked out, hitting the Nine Star successor's punch directly. With a loud explosion, Long Chen retreated, and the Nine Star successor was sent flying by a single kick.
"His strength is weakening, while my power is growing. Everything has a chance." After this strike, Long Chen's confidence soared.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the Qiankun Cauldron struck again. Long Chen dared not lure his father to attack it, because the cauldron was too powerful and his father's power would rapidly decline.
"Boom!"
He tried his best to dodge. When he couldn't, he clashed head-on with the Qiankun Cauldron. But every time he fought head-on, Long Chen was so shaken that stars appeared before his eyes, his eardrums buzzed, and his mind went blank.
But this time, Long Chen had learned his lesson. Even if it was just a head-on fight, he still adopted a defensive stance to avoid getting hurt.
After each impact, the Qiankun Cauldron in Long Chen's hand remained unharmed, while the cauldron condensed from the heavenly tribulation would burst with many thunder runes. These thunder runes were extremely powerful. After absorbing them several times, the spirit blood, spiritual roots, spiritual bones, dragon tendons, bloodlines, and soul within Long Chen began to show signs of boiling.
His body was like a furnace—it had to be heated to a certain level before they could merge into one.
And this thunder power is the source of heat. Only when Long Chen absorbs enough heat can they fully fuse, and only after merging can he truly become stronger.
As time passed, Long Chen kept using his father to attack Wutian and the Nine-Star heirs. He then coordinated with his own efforts, and finally, the Nine-Star Heir was the first to collapse and was shattered by Long Chen's sword.
At that moment, Yu Qingxuan, Bai Shishi, and the others cheered, covering their cherry lips as tears streamed down their faces.
Their hearts were tightly gripped, afraid that Long Chen might accidentally die under the heavenly tribulation. That feeling of being anxious but unable to muster any strength made life worse than death.
Now that Long Chen had shattered the Nine-Star successor, a breakthrough had appeared. After absorbing the thunder power of the Nine-Star heir, seven-colored flames appeared on Long Chen's body, dyeing the entire world in vibrant colors. Endless blood energy surged into the sky.
Long Chen's Seven-Colored Supreme Blood boiled, reaching its ignition point first and beginning to burn. The scalding seven-colored Supreme blood flowed through Long Chen's body, and endless power surged within him.
At that moment, Long Chen was fearless and fearless, as if everything in heaven and earth was under his control.
"Buzz!"
The Seven Absolute Sword in Long Chen's hand condensed once again. This time, blood energy flowed within the sword.
Clang!
The Seven Absolute Sword in Long Chen's hand struck heavily against Wu Tian's spear. This time, Long Chen's sword did not shatter.
A look of wild joy appeared on Long Chen's face. This was the true Seven Absolute Sword. Previously, his Seven Absolute Sword had only form, but not its essence.
Looking at his father's stiff movements within the tribulation, Long Chen felt a warm current in his heart:
"Father truly is a prodigy, even foreseeing this step. The tribulation wanted to use him, but unexpectedly, he did. Without Father's help, I might have met a dead end."
It was Long Zhantian who helped him secure the most critical moment. Without Long Zhantian, he would never have had the chance to absorb the power of thunder to grow. Today, he was truly going to fall here.
"Last time, the Nine Star successor deliberately went easy on him, and now Father is helping out on purpose. What about next time?
Do I, Long Chen, have to keep relying on others to save me? No, I want to become stronger, so strong that I don't need anyone's help. "Long Chen suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
This tribulation had already cost him a life-or-death experience. From now on, the karma he would become entangled in would only increase, and the tribulation would only become more terrifying. He had to make himself stronger.
Last time, the Nine-Star successor helped him; this time, it was his father who helped him. Both attempts deeply stirred Long Chen's pride.
He had risen from the Tianwu Continent, defying fate and conquering immortals all the way to his current position. When he was so weak, he had never asked anyone for help.
But today, growing stronger and stronger, he actually needed help from others to survive, which deeply wounded Long Chen's heart.
"Father, thank you, but I hope the road ahead is that I can walk it myself. No matter how rough and difficult this road is, I will walk it. Please believe me, because I am Long Zhantian's son."
"Boom!" Long Chen's
Seven Absolute Sword struck Long Zhantian. It was a deliberate weakness left for Long Chen. Originally, Long Chen could have kept Long Zhantian safeguard, but Long Chen refused.
Long Zhantian's body exploded, but before the shatter, the corners of his mouth seemed to curl into a faint smile, then transformed into a flood of runes.
"Father, I've grown up. Please forgive my rudeness." Long Chen bowed respectfully to Long Zhantian's shadow.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Wu Tian charged in, striking straight with his spear. Even in the midst of the heavenly tribulation, Wu Tian kept repeating this move, never using a second move.
Long Chen knew that when he was in the Underworld, Wutian pierced the heavenly wall with a spear, sending him back to the mortal world using this move. This move had been copied by the Heavenly Dao, so at this moment, Wutian only knew this move.
Back then, Long Chen didn't know what realm Wu Tian was at and thought he should be at the Realm King or Heavenly Venerable realm. Now he understood that the power Wu Tian wields can't be determined by his realm.
Even immortal-level experts cannot break through barriers and directly send people to other worlds.
But the spear copied by Heavenly Dao only had at most eighty percent of Wutian's power at that time. The tribulation could mimic the destructive power of Wutian's strike, but it could not imitate Wutian's primordial power.
"Brother Wutian, wait for me. I'll definitely come find you. When the time comes, the two of us brothers won't leave until we're drunk."
"Boom boom boom boom... Long
Chen wielded the Seven Absolute Sword and fiercely slashed Wu Tian seven times in succession. Eventually, Wu Tian's body could no longer withstand it and exploded with a thunderous crash.
Wutian was powerful, but he was outmaneuvered by Long Chen several times, defending himself against several black dagger attacks, which cost him a lot, and he was ultimately shattered by Long Chen.
After Long Chen absorbed the thunder runes of Wutian, his aura surged dramatically again. His body roared like thunder, and amidst the thunder, the roar of a giant dragon echoed out.
"Just a little more."
Long Chen looked at the black dagger and the Qiankun Cauldron. Next came the final decisive moment, a fierce battle with a fierce crash.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen actively lunged at the black dagger. After all, its aura was weaker than the Qiankun Cauldron. Long Chen fixed his sights on it, but the moment he lunged at the black dagger, a shocking scene unfolded.
"Boom"
The
black dagger exploded with a thunderous crash. The shattered runes did not flow toward Long Chen, but instead surged toward the Qiankun Cauldron.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the Qiankun Cauldron rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire world. Long Chen felt the void twist, and he found himself inside the cauldron in a daze.
"Rumble...
Suddenly, the earth exploded, countless paths tore apart, and flames swirled around the Qiankun Cauldron. When people saw those flames, they were stunned.
"No, it seems someone is controlling this heavenly tribulation."
Long Chen suddenly felt both shocked and angry, realizing something was wrong.
