Chapter 5270 Eight Great Divine Commanders, Silver Hair Void Crusher
A voice like the roar of a G.o.d instantly penetrated the defenses of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests, causing all their runes to lose their glow. Everyone inside felt as if a hammer had struck their stomachs, and they all spat out blood. Long Chen himself was left dazed, stars spinning in his vision. Shocked, he hastily flew out to confront the source of the voice.
Long Chen saw a middle-aged man in white robes, with silver hair and silver eyes, standing in the air. The pressure emanating from this man was overwhelming, freezing the s.p.a.ce around Long Chen. Even raising a finger became a struggle.
Yue Zifeng and the others appeared as well, staring in shock at this silver-haired man. The indomitable Dragonblood warriors felt a trace of fear for the first time in a long while.
This person was too powerful... so great that it made them despair. The Dragonblood warriors had experienced countless b.l.o.o.d.y battles and seen countless experts, but they had never seen such a terrifying existence before. Defeating him seemed utterly impossible.
My senses actually failed me! thought Long Chen, shocked. How did such a terrifying expert descend without triggering his sense of danger?
When Long Chen saw the mirror in the silver-haired man’s hand, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Long Chen exclaimed, “The Star Peering Heavenly Mirror!”
“Oh, you recognize it? You must not be an ordinary nine star heir,” the man said with a cold smile. His silver eyes appraised Long Chen, and Long Chen felt as if his very soul were being scrutinized. It was as if the starry sea in his dantian was laid bare, and all his power and secrets were exposed to this man’s gaze. A chill ran down Long Chen’s spine.
“You possess violet blood, Jiuli blood, and even dragon blood. However, your astral energy is impure. What a strange nine star heir,” remarked the silver-haired man, looking at Long Chen with a trace of astonishment.
His gaze then swept over the others. When he spotted Yue Zifeng, he exclaimed, “I didn’t expect to encounter a powerful sword cultivator here!”
Yue Zifeng instinctively drew his sword, his aura erupting. However, he hadn’t done it consciously. The pressure from the silver-haired man forced him to act purely on instinct. This silver-haired man’s aura made him feel incredibly uneasy. Only by drawing his sword could he feel the slightest bit safe.
The Dragon Domain’s experts stared in terror at this man. They had never seen such a terrifying existence before; his strength exceeded their wildest imaginations.
“Nine star heirs are supposed to be solitary existences, but you actually have companions by your side. How interesting.” The silver-haired man stared at Long Chen. “I received word that a nine star heir had appeared, so I used the Star Peering Heavenly Mirror to come and see. I didn’t expect to find such an oddity. You’re the weakest nine-star heir I’ve ever seen.”
“Such a weak nine star heir.” These words cut through Long Chen like a blade. Long Chen’s killing intent instantly flared—not because of the insult, but because he could tell that this man had slaughtered many nine-star heirs. The thought of their deaths sent a surge of rage through him.
Clenching his fists, Long Chen gritted his teeth and demanded, “Who are you?”
The silver-haired man sneered at Long Chen’s fury, as though a G.o.d looking down on ants. “You’re not worthy of knowing my name. But since you’re about to die, I’ll tell you so you can answer when other nine-star heirs ask you in the underworld. I am the Silver Hair Void Crusher. I was once one of Lord Brahma’s divine generals, but three thousand years ago, I was promoted to one of the Eight Great Divine Commanders.”
“The Eight Great Divine Commanders?” Long Chen’s heart trembled, and he coldly spat, “That’s bulls.h.i.+t. I’ve seen the Eight Great Divine Commanders, and they weren’t nothing compared to you.”
The Silver Hair Void Crusher laughed. “The divine commanders you’ve seen are mere candidates, chosen after pa.s.sing certain trials. They are nothing. I was chosen 870,000 years ago from among 36,000 fellow candidates to carry out missions as a Brahma Divine General. Five hundred thousand years later, due to my outstanding talent and accomplishments, I was promoted to the ninth divine commander. Then, three thousand years later, the eighth divine commander died when his old wounds relapsed, and I officially became one of the Eight Great Divine Commanders. I, the Silver Hair Void Crusher, am the only one to be promoted after their creation.”
This man had waited 870,000 years for this position to open, so clearly, it was something incredibly precious. Knowing that Long Chen and the others were about to die, he still spent time telling them so much information, with so much pride in his voice. He was eager to boast about his accomplishments, enjoying the shock and awe of his audience.
However, other than Long Chen, no one knew what the Eight Great Divine Commanders were, and it was also his first time hearing that they were chosen from so many people.
“Is it something to be proud of? If the eighth commander hadn’t died, you would never have been promoted,” Long Chen scoffed.
“What do you know?! The Eight Great Divine Commanders were the first heroes to follow Divine Venerate Brahma! They survived the primal chaos war and accomplished countless deeds. They are legends who could shake the heavens and earth!” Silver Hair Void Crusher sneered, clearly wors.h.i.+ping the commanders.
“Shaking the heavens and earth? If they were so amazing, how did one die from old wounds?” Long Chen mocked, laughing as if he had heard the world’s greatest joke.
“You fool! Do you even know who inflicted those wounds?” The Silver Hair Void Crusher’s tone turned dark. “It was your nine-star lineage’s chief, the Nine Star Master!”
Long Chen’s heart shook. The Eight Great Divine Commanders were existences from the same era as the Nine Star Master? That was unbelievable.
“The Nine Star Master was the strongest warrior of the nine heavens and ten lands, but he eventually fell to our forces. Now do you understand the significance of the Eight Great Divine Commanders?”
“The Nine Star Master was the strongest warrior of the nine heavens and ten lands, but he eventually fell to our forces. Now do you understand the significance of the Eight Great Divine Commanders?” sneered the Silver Hair Void Crusher.
“Don’t flatter yourselves. I bet the Eight Great Divine Commanders weren’t even qualified to fight the Nine Star Master head-on. Let me guess, you all just stood on the sidelines and got caught in the shockwaves,” Long Chen taunted.
To Long Chen’s surprise, the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s eyes instantly flared with killing intent after he said this.
