Chapter 5276 Unwilling
Long Chen stared at the Silver Hair Void Crusher standing beneath the golden throne, and his heart sank. The gap in power between him and the Silver Hair Void Crusher was as vast as an endless sea.
The Silver Hair Void Crusher’s arrival had already set everything in stone, and they didn’t have the slightest chance to win. After all, the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s weakest point was far stronger than their strongest points.
Even though Long Chen had grasped an opening and created a chance, the gap was just too wide. It was impossible for them to win.
“I didn’t expect the Earth Cauldron of the Heaven Earth Cauldron to be in your hands. Hehe, my luck really is good,” the Silver Hair Void Crusher sneered. He instantly recognized the Earth Cauldron, and if it weren’t for that moment of distraction, Long Chen wouldn’t have been able to injure him. Now, any anger he felt was replaced by greed.
The Heaven Earth Cauldron was one of the ten great primal chaos divine items, coveted by countless experts.
“You should run. We’re not a match for him. Me and Evilmoon have yet to recover, so we can’t help much,” transmitted the Earth Cauldron.
“How hateful. This is absolutely hateful. This fellow is so strong, but is actually bullying a little Saint. It’s abominable.” Evilmoon cursed repeatedly, unable to accept that its strongest attack was actually unable to kill this fellow.
The Earth Cauldron sighed. “Long Chen, I have a secret art that can help you escape, but it would only work for one person. The throne has already locked onto me. I cannot bring everyone else away with you.”
Recognizing the Earth Cauldron, the Silver Hair Void Crusher had summoned the divine throne of the Eight Great Divine Commanders to deal with it. Although he had yet to fully merge with it, just a trace of its power was enough to crush them.
“Long Chen, I cannot pa.s.s down my power to you. I have just awakened. You have no other choice!” transmitted the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign.
The Earth Cauldron and the Dragon Sovereign were both advising Long Chen to run, while Evilmoon continued to curse, “I really am unwilling!”
Long Chen clenched his teeth, and in a commanding voice, shouted, “Dragonblood Legion, hear my orders! Retreat!”
In an instant, the expression of every Dragonblood warrior changed, and Guo Ran and the others protested, “No!”
Having followed Long Chen for so many years, they understood his character far too well—Long Chen was going to sacrifice his life to create a chance for them to run. But how could they be willing to flee by sacrificing their boss?
“These are my orders! I will hold him off, and I still have a chance to escape. That’s better than everyone dying here. If I don’t make it, keep cultivating and avenge me by killing Lord Brahma!” said Long Chen.
“No! If we die, we die together! In life, we dominate the nine heavens and ten lands; in death, we dominate the yellow springs and h.e.l.l!” roared Gu Yang.
Ignoring their protests, Long Chen asked the Earth Cauldron, “Senior, you’ve recognized me as your master, correct?”
The Earth Cauldron was silent for a moment before responding, “Yes.”
“Then you know what I want,” said Long Chen firmly.
The Earth Cauldron hesitated before its body started to glow, sending runes out to envelop the Dragonblood Legion and the dragon race’s experts.
“No!” Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ cried out, pus.h.i.+ng past these runes. The Dragonblood warriors also roared and tried to escape.
But the void quivered, and in an instant, they vanished, transported away by the Earth Cauldron.
Seeing this, the Silver Hair Void Crusher clapped lightly. While amazed by Long Chen, he mocked, “Other nine star heirs are cold-blooded, solitary figures, but you’re a true marvel. You sacrificed the last of the Earth Cauldron’s power to send them away. Do you realize that you’ve given up your only chance of escape? Well, not that you ever had one.”
The Silver Hair Void Crusher just watched as they were transported away, having no intention of stopping them. His targets were Long Chen, the Earth Cauldron, and the sinister black saber in Long Chen’s hand.
Having sent everyone away under the pressure of the divine throne, the Earth Cauldron had exhausted a great deal of its core energy. With this, it had essentially fallen into the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s pocket.
The Silver Hair Void Crusher had killed many nine star heirs. While they were unquestionably powerful, they were always solitary figures. Long Chen was the only oddball, and he seemed completely different from other nine star heirs.
Holding Evilmoon, Long Chen glared at the Silver Hair Void Crusher. The Earth Cauldron floated behind him, its remaining energy flowing into him, reigniting his will to fight.
“A deathbed struggle is pointless. Obediently hand over your treasures, and I might let you die painlessly,” said the Silver Hair Void Crusher, clasping his hands behind him and looking down on Long Chen.
Even though injured, the Silver Hair Void Crusher was still a nine-vein Human Emperor and one of the Eight Great Divine Commanders. Even a normal nine-vein Human Emperor stood no chance against him, let alone a Saint like Long Chen.
Evilmoon quivered in Long Chen’s hand. With the Earth Cauldron’s energy flowing into him, Evilmoon also gained strength.
“You’re not qualified to say that to me. Not even Lord Brahma is,” Long Chen declared as he shot toward the Silver Hair Void Crusher.
Thanks to the Earth Cauldron’s guidance, he had begun cultivating Earth energy, allowing the cauldron’s power to merge smoothly with his own.
The Silver Hair Void Crusher smiled sinisterly as the Divine Commander Blade reappeared in his hand. “I’ve lost patience!”
Long Chen raised Evilmoon high, knowing this was his final chance. If this attack failed, only death awaited him.
