Chapter 647
Little Snow appeared in front of Long Chen . Opening his mouth, a dozen fist-sized wind blade spheres shot out .
Those spheres then erupted, releasing streams of wind blades at the a.s.sa.s.sins .
“How is this possible?! Didn’t the reports say Long Chen only has a fifth rank Magical Beast?!”
One of the a.s.sa.s.sins only had a chance to cry out before he was submerged by a current of wind blades and completely blown apart . These a.s.sa.s.sins didn’t have a second badge, and all thirty of them were slaughtered .
The wind blade streams didn’t stop . They pierced into the ground, creating endless gulfs .
This was Little Snow’s first time releasing his full strength since advancing to the sixth rank . Even Long Chen was stupefied .
Suddenly, a ray of light soared into the sky, and a huge light figure appeared .
It was an ancient phoenix . Its golden wings spread in the sky . It was n.o.ble, sacred, and irresistibly grand . It even made people have an urge to kneel in wors.h.i.+p .
Phoenixes were divine beasts that had only ever existed in legends . However, now this image had appeared in the sky, and it was the exact same as the ancient images and carvings . This world actually did contain the existence known as the divine phoenix .
The image of the phoenix circled in the sky and then slowly disappeared . However, the light still remained in the sky .
Everyone’s gaze followed that light down to its source, and their pupils shrank, wild delight appearing on their faces .
Little Snow’s attack had destroyed the land, revealing a huge chunk of ore thousands of meters long .
This ore was the same shape as the phoenix image just now . Compared to that immense image which had been thousands of miles long, it was much smaller . However, this ore shone with endless light . Everything within thousands of miles was bathed in a blood-red light .
“Phoenix Blood Black Gold!”
One of the Celestials shouted with a crazed joy and shot toward it .
Phoenix Blood Black Gold was Treasure cla.s.s material . Furthermore, it was a peak grade material amongst Treasure cla.s.s material . No one could resist its allure .
PFFT!
That person only just shot out when a human-shaped lightning appeared beside him . With one punch, it directly blasted him to smithereens . Another Celestial had fallen .
Everyone’s hearts shook . This b.l.o.o.d.y reality told them that they were still in the midst of the heavenly tribulation .
“Little Snow, we’re running . ”
Long Chen suddenly jumped onto Little Snow’s back . They quickly darted away . Two of the human-shaped lightnings had already locked onto him .
Right now, his tribulation was no longer his own, but the tribulation for the realm above Sea Expansion . Since even Sea Expansion experts would be killed, there was no way he could face it .
His only option was to rely on Little Snow’s speed to stall until the Sea Expansion experts were all killed . Then the heavenly tribulation would return to normal .
The Sea Expansion experts wanted to kill Long Chen, and Long Chen also wanted to kill them . But he didn’t have the power right now, so he could only stall like this .
A human-shaped lightning shot toward him . Although Long Chen hastily slashed out with his saber, he didn’t dare to take it head-on because Little Snow wouldn’t be able to take the impact .
BOOM!
As a result, Long Chen and Little snow were sent flying . It was fortunate that Little Snow had advanced to the sixth rank and his const.i.tution had greatly improved . After being sent flying, he quickly stabilized in the air and then continued fleeing .
Suddenly, another lightning figure shot over . Lei Long quickly wrapped around it .
BANG! Lei Long was blown apart by the human-shaped lightning, turning into lightning runes .
After being blown apart, Lei Long’s runes once more condensed into its old form, and it continued to entangle the human-shaped lightning .
“Lei Long, don’t face them head-on . We just need to last longer,” said Long Chen . He clearly saw that after Lei Long had been blown apart, it had shortened and its strength had dropped .
Lei Long had been personally raised by him . As the two of them were connected mentally and Lei Long had also gained some spirituality, it could understand his meaning .
Long Chen fled miserably . However, he didn’t run very far as there was no point . The heavenly tribulation was locked onto him .
If he ran too far, it would end up drawing the lightning tribulation with him . Then wouldn’t he have ended up helping these fellows? Long Chen wasn’t the kind of person who did good deeds without leaving his name . Even if he had to die, he would bring them down too .
Long Chen appeared battered and miserable, but the Corrupt path was in an even more dangerous situation . The remaining seven human-shaped lightning were all attacking them .
“AHH! No!”
Suddenly, a woman’s mournful shriek rang out . The soul cultivator was finally unable to endure it and was killed .
There was no way around it . Soul cultivators possessed the weakest physical bodies . Previously, there had always been a Sea Expansion expert to protect her, which was the only reason why she had lasted until now . But now that the Sea Expansion experts could barely protect themselves, she was the first one to die .
Following her cry, in less than a breath’s time, another Celestial couldn’t hold on and died .
The only Celestial remaining was the muscular one with the spiked club . But once the people by his side were killed, he immediately became the focus of two human-shaped lightning .
“No!”
Although he was extremely unwilling, his life was mercilessly harvested . After killing him, the two lightning figures charged toward the closest Sea Expansion expert .
As soon as those lightning figures left, Long Chen arrived at the place where the Celestials had died . Their Heavenly Dao runes were just about to fade .
“Since you’ve come, don’t leave! Come to my tree!”
Long Chen slashed with his saber, destroying the Heavenly Dao runes . He sensed those runes being absorbed by the primal chaos bead . Long Chen was delighted; as expected, the more brazen a person was, the greater the gains they could make . He had truly made a killing this time .
BOOM!
Long Chen had just begun feeling pleased with himself when he was struck by a thunderforce attack . He vomited blood, tumbling back with Little Snow .
“Little Snow, run! Now’s the most critical moment . Whoever can last longer will live!”
Under Long Chen’s urging, Little Snow focused completely on running . It was fortunate that these human-shaped lightnings only contained a simple destructive will, and they didn’t know many battle techniques . Long Chen relied on his combat experience to keep them at bay, stalling for quite a bit of time .
As the battle continued, the lightning grew even more terrifying . In the end, Long Chen could only flee . There was no way for him to exchange any blows with them .
“AH!”
Just as Long Chen felt like he might really die, a shrill shriek came from the Corrupt path . But in Long Chen’s ears, it sounded like the music of the heavens, sounding just as wonderful as Zi Yan’s zither playing . It was truly a sound that could make flowers bloom within his heart and cause all his pores to cheer .
One of the Sea Expansion experts was finally unable to endure and was killed . But as his physical body was destroyed, a soul flew out and was about to escape .
However, even Sea Expansion experts were not capable of that . The lightning runes released by the human-shaped lightnings filled this entire s.p.a.ce, and when his Spiritual Strength touched that sea of runes, it instantly exploded .
Let alone him, even that soul cultivator with her terrifying Spiritual Strength had been unable to escape her fate .
Following his death, the other four Sea Expansion experts immediately despaired . The four of them were now dealing with seven human-shaped lightnings . The pressure immediately multiplied .
PFFT!
Another Sea Expansion expert was killed, his corpse blown to bits and his soul scattered .
The two of them dying was like the breaking of a dam . The Sea Expansion experts had fallen into despair .
Almost immediately, the other two Corrupt Sea Expansion experts were also killed . The only one remaining was the Huo family’s elder .
Previously, he had relied on his mid Sea Expansion cultivation base to just barely keep himself alive . But now that the other four had died, he had no chance against seven human-shaped lightnings .
He despaired . He felt regret . He regretted ever plotting this operation . In order to kill a Meridian Opening rookie, he had ended up causing his own downfall .
“Long Chen, I won’t let you off! Just wait!”
He suddenly shouted, and his body became covered with endless flames .
“Raging fire, blazing cycle, abandon my body, protect my soul! Raging Flame Soul Rebirth Art!”
Following a furious roar, the Huo family’s Sea Expansion expert was instantly burnt to ash . A soul enveloped by flames shot through the sea of lightning runes and disappeared .
“As expected, the Huo family’s foundation is truly thick . He actually has such a secret art . However, once such a technique is used, his Spiritual Strength will be half-crippled . But I suppose it’s not a bad exchange for preserving his life . ”
Long Chen watched as he left . The endless lightning rune sea suddenly dissipated, and the aura of the human-shaped lightnings dropped a great deal .
Suddenly, Lei Long let out a furious roar and actually devoured one of them in one gulp . Seeing that, Long Chen was delighted .
“Split the Heavens!”
The eight human-shaped lightnings were blown back by Long Chen’s attack . Lei Long opened its mouth and devoured all of them .
It then turned into a ray of light that returned to Long Chen’s arm . The tribulation clouds scattered, revealing a starry sky . During this battle, the day had silently pa.s.sed into night .
“Hahaha, Lei Long is actually so powerful! Even without my help, it can still refine them . ”
Long Chen had originally thought he would have to do the same thing as last time and help it suppress the lightning runes . But unexpectedly, Lei Long’s strength had already risen to the point that it could suppress the nine human-shaped lightnings on its own . However, to fully refine them would require some time . But Long Chen trusted that once that was finished, Lei Long would definitely become incomparably terrifying .
Seeing that Lei Long was fine, Long Chen hastily rushed toward a certain place . A pillar of light was still soaring into the sky from there . A priceless treasure was waiting for him!
