Chapter 5215 Why Must You Force Me
Lei Linger and Huo Linger appeared, but instead of directly engaging the enemy, they transformed into a vast sea of lightning and flames that drowned the battlefield.
The sea of lightning and flames directly devoured the attacks of the enemies, instantly reducing six-vein Heaven Saints and below to dust. In an instant, the number of attackers diminished significantly. The weaker experts were annihilated, while the stronger ones managed to barely endure. With the lightning flame energy suppressing them, their combat power was severely reduced.
After the battle in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain, Huo Linger and Lei Linger had undergone a complete transformation. While the power of their new domain was scattered across a large area, it was still strong enough to obliterate six-vein Heaven Saints outright.
As for those between six-vein and nine-vein Heaven Saints, they found themselves trapped within this energy. All they could do was charge through it, but even then, their combat power was drastically reduced.
Huo Linger and Lei Linger paid special attention to the half-step Human Emperors, unleas.h.i.+ng countless tiny rune dragons that invaded their bodies and souls. Even half-step Human Emperors were unable to fully resist this energy, which was born from heavenly tribulation and the source of Heavenly Flames.
Although the scattered energy couldn’t fatally wound the half-step Human Emperors, the constant a.s.sault forced them to divert part of their energy to prevent this energy from invading their bodies. As a result, they could only unleash sixty percent of their full power.
“Kill!”
The Dragonblood warriors roared, their confidence surging as they saw their enemies weakened by the flames and lightning. Their swords slashed down, and in the first clash, countless enemies were cut to pieces. Even the half-step Human Emperors were unable to fully harness their strength and were struck down.
“I’ll think about the future in the future!” Xia Chen shouted, no longer holding back. Forming hand seals, he unleashed countless talismans, depleting them in a relentless barrage.
Despite being injured, Yue Zifeng was as deadly as ever. He specifically targeted the half-step Human Emperors, and with every stroke, he took down one.
Flames raged, and lightning thundered, turning the battlefield into a h.e.l.lish landscape. With every pa.s.sing moment, countless lives were lost, and the ones dying were no ordinary soldiers. They were elites—revered figures in any faction.
Yet here, their lives were as insignificant as blades of gra.s.s. The people watching from inside the barrier felt chills. At this moment, they had already forgotten what fear was. They simply stared at the Dragonblood warriors who slew top experts as if they had been possessed by G.o.ds of war.
Only now did they understand what a real battle was. The branch academy’s disciples, in particular, realized that the large-scale battle they had just experienced was nothing in comparison to thisone.
At this moment, they grasped the true difference between themselves and real experts. What they lacked wasn’t talent, comprehension, background, or resources. They simply lacked the tempering of blood and fire; they had to constantly walk the line between life and death.
After all, true experts couldn’t be raised as they were made in combat. While they, too, were Heavenly Chosens, the Dragonblood warriors could fight half-step Human Emperors without flinching, while they couldn’t even move under their pressure. The difference truly was like heaven and earth.
Thanks to Lei Linger and Huo Linger’s help, the Dragonblood Legion stopped the first wave. With this, they realized that the scales of victory had tilted in their favor.
The strongest first wave had been fended off. In other words, they had crushed the confidence and spirits of their enemies. The sound of killing shook the heavens, and blood rained down.
As for Long Chen, he stood in the sky, looking coldly at the three Human Emperors in front of him.
“I actually like peace and want to get along with others, but you just have to constantly humiliate and harm me. If you were just doing that to me, perhaps I could tolerate it. But why must you do this to the people I love? Don’t you realize this only deepens my pain? That it drives me mad? That it turns me into someone even I am afraid of?”
Each of his words dripped with icy menace, like a devil’s whisper freezing the souls of those who heard it. Long Chen looked down at his bloodstained hands—the blood of Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, and his face slowly twisted in fury.
“Why must you force me?!”
Long Chen let out a furious roar that shook the heavens. All of a sudden, he shot toward the three Human Emperors like a bolt of lightning, moving so fast that countless afterimages were left in his wake.
“Block him together!” shouted the Chess Sect expert. His chessboard quivered and grew, transforming into a three-meter-wide square, its surface covered in strange beast designs.
Responding to his call, the Zither Sect expert and the Celestial race expert placed their hands on the chessboard, and the power of Human Emperors erupted as the three joined forces to confront Long Chen.
“Star Ocean—G.o.d Slaying Cross!” Long Chen roared.
The eight star diagram on his hand vanished, replaced by a starry cross. From the front, this flat cross looked like it had been cut out of the sky. Everyone could see countless stars twinkling in it.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s palm landed squarely on the chessboard, causing heaven and earth to shake intensely. The chessboard instantly disintegrated, and behind it, the three of them spat out blood and shot back.
“What?!”
The eight Human Emperors sealing the palace master were stunned. Although they knew that a nine star heir was a terrifying existence, they hadn’t expected this level of power.
A Human Emperor divine weapon, backed by the combined might of three Human Emperors, was shattered by Long Chen’s palm. His power toppled their understanding.
“Beneath Human Emperors, I am unmatched. Amongst Human Emperors, one for three!”
This declaration echoed in their minds. At this time, no one dared to question it.
Just then, the sound of Long Chen’s footsteps pierced the silence. He walked toward the three horrified Human Emperors, his presence more terrifying than ever.
