With a loud explosion, Long Chen's massive hand struck the sky-covering dragon claw. Heaven and earth resonated, the void cracked, and amid endless blood rain, a furious roar echoed.
The roar belonged to the owner of the dragon claw, and its claw was shattered by Long Chen's palm.
"The Nether Dragon clan has some nerve, daring to cause trouble at my Lingxiao Academy. Aren't you afraid I'll wipe out your Nether Dragon clan?" Long Chen looked into the void, his voice shaking the heavens.
"Rumble...
At that moment, figures emerged like ghosts from the shattered fragments of the barrier. When these powerful figures appeared, even Long Chen's composure made his pupils contract.
"Oh my god... On
the square, the academy's disciples saw those figures and sensed their terrifying aura, their scalps tingling with fear.
Countless beings surged forward. Even among them, the weakest cultivation was at the Five Veins Heavenly Saint level. There were countless Nine-Meridian Heavenly Saints, and half-step Human Emperors were everywhere.
The person Long Chen had just confronted was a half-step Human Emperor from the Nether Dragon clan. Long Chen used the Imperial Blood Seal, a move that greatly suppressed all dragon clan beings.
Although that half-step Human Emperor from the Nether Dragon clan was terrifyingly powerful, he still suffered a heavy loss. Long Chen was about to press the advantage and kill that guy, but when he saw so many powerful figures appear, his expression changed instantly.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a vast surge of blood energy shot up into the sky. Long Chen was overjoyed—the Hall Master had made his move.
"Buzz" However,
at the very moment the Hall Master tore through the air, a divine map appeared in the void, enveloping him. Upon seeing the map, Long Chen cried out in surprise.
The divine map was a piece of eight maps, and he recognized one of them, depicting a world that looked exactly like the Hantian Domain.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's see how you break through this Eight Domains Divine Map, which gathers the power of the eight domains of Brahma!"
The void trembled as eight figures appeared simultaneously. The vast imperial aura flowed. These eight were actually eight Human Emperor-level powerhouses, and what they held was divine maps that combined the power of the eight domains of Brahma.
They wore the attire of Brahma Heaven Pill Valley, their bodies radiating divine faith radiating aura. Each of the eight held a corner of the Eight Domains Divine Map. Clearly, they had been preparing for a long time, just waiting for the Hall Master to appear.
As soon as the Hall Master appeared, he was enveloped by the Eight Domains Divine Map. His figure vanished in an instant, and was actually absorbed within the Divine Map.
When the Hall Master fell into the trap, Long Chen's heart sank. The enemy's attack was well-prepared and flawless—clearly, this was a long-planned assault.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entire academy trembled. The long sword stood upright above Lingxiao Academy, its divine might shaking the heavens. At the critical moment, Bai Letian summoned the Lingxiao Divine Sword.
However, as soon as the Lingxiao Divine Sword appeared, a divine diagram swirled above the nine heavens, covering the entire sky.
"Brahma Divine Map" Long Chen's
heart tightened. He had seen many Brahma Divine Diagrams before, but this was the first time he had seen a phantom of Great Brahma on the Brahma Divine Map. Clearly, Long Chen had never seen the level of this divine map before.
"Boom!"
The divine light of the Lingxiao Divine Sword surged, piercing the sky and striking the Brahma Divine Diagram. The Divine Map trembled violently, swirling runes and the power of faith flowing, resisting the divine might of the Lingxiao Divine Sword.
"Not good, they're trying to use the power of faith to resist the power of fortune." Bai Letian's expression changed. The Lingxiao Divine Sword is a divine artifact of fortune, but the Lingxiao Academy is currently in decline. Using the power of fortune against the power of faith is at a great disadvantage. For the moment, it was unable to penetrate the Brahma Divine Diagram.
"Dean, please open the barrier and use the Lingxiao Divine Sword as the foundation to protect everyone." Long Chen shouted loudly.
Before the opponent made their move, they had already calculated the two strongest trump cards of Lingxiao Academy: the Hall Master and the Lingxiao Divine Sword. They had both made preparations in advance. With the Lingxiao Divine Sword and the Hall Master targeted, Lingxiao Academy would be in danger.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was thrown into panic, a loud explosion came from the Eight Domains Divine Map in the distance. The entire world suddenly trembled, and Long Chen hurriedly looked into the distance.
"Pfft!"
The eight Human Emperors wielding the Eight Domains Divine Map simultaneously spat blood wildly. Fear appeared on their faces. They hadn't expected that the Hall Master, trapped inside the divine map, could have such terrifying resistance.
Seeing this, Long Chen was overjoyed. Even the eight Great Human Emperors wielding the Eight Domains Divine Map might not be able to suppress the Hall Master. As long as they held out until the Hall Master broke the seal, everything would be over.
The eight Human Emperors shouted in unison, their humanoid phenomena behind them stretching out, not daring to be careless, fully supporting the Eight Domains Divine Map.
"Everyone at Lingxiao Academy, return to Lingxiao Square immediately." Long Chen shouted loudly, taking advantage of the enemy's full force before they could attack at full strength, to gather everyone for protection.
When Long Chen's shout was given, experts from all over the academy rushed toward Lingxiao Square. However, some were stunned by the scene, ignoring Long Chen's calls and fleeing directly outside the academy.
However, as soon as these people escaped the academy, when they saw the endless figures in the distance, they were instantly terrified and lost their composure. Only then did they realize the entire academy was sealed off, with no way to escape.
They immediately turned and fled toward Lingxiao Academy, but just as they set off, an order came from the eight Human Emperor experts from within:
"The Hall Master is sealed, the Lingxiao Divine Sword is imprisoned. Everyone, attack together and destroy Lingxiao Academy as quickly as possible."
"Boom!"
At the old man's command, the powerful figures from the perimeter surged toward Lingxiao Academy like a tide.
"Boom boom boom... Their
momentum erupted, crushing the rocks. Those strong warriors who tried to escape back to the academy were crushed to dust by desperate howls.
"How can there be so many people?" Guo Ran was considered a warmonger, but seeing so many powerful opponents made his face turn pale with fear.
Among these powerhouses were countless races including humans, demons, demons, underworlds, dragons, blood clans, and many others. All of them were at least three meridian Heavenly Saints and above, and the rarely seen half-step Human Emperors numbered in the hundreds or thousands.
They charged forward carrying endless killing intent. Even the Dragonblood Legion, used to grand displays, couldn't help but feel terrified, while the other powerful beings were horrified to find themselves unable to move under their pressure.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a sword scabbard appeared above the square. As the Lingxiao Grand Hall trembled, a realm rapidly unfolded centered on them, enveloping everyone.
"Whew."
"A small barrier trying to block us?" Utterly wishful thinking, Long Chen, you killed my demon clan prodigy, and today we will wipe out your entire family. A half-step demon human emperor, wielding a demonic sword, charged at the barrier. His face was blue, fangs, and ferocious like a ghost. Seeing his rapidly closing face, the academy disciples screamed in terror.
"Boom"
The moment the demonic sword was about to touch the barrier, a giant hand forcibly grabbed it.
