Chapter 878: 878
It wasn’t just Xue You and Yu Changhao that were stunned . Even Long Chen was stunned . He hadn’t expected Yue Xiaoqian to possess such a terrifying move . Just how could she release such a powerful magical art in such a short time?
It seemed Yue Xiaoqian’s power far surpa.s.sed Long Chen’s expectations . In fact, perhaps she would even be able to fight Leng Yueyan .
However, Yue Xiaoqian’s aura had clearly dropped after this attack . She had exhausted all her Heavenly Dao energy, and if she were to fight again, she would probably have to use her core energy .
Once she used her core energy, her status would be revealed . There were probably already people outside this barrier watching in secret . She couldn’t attack for now .
“Good job Xiaoqian . You rest . Leave these two idiots to me!” shouted Long Chen . He suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning that shot toward Yu Changhao .
His broadsword slashed toward Yu Changhao . An icy light shone in Yu Changhao’s eyes as he used his bowstring to meet Long Chen’s broadsword . Long Chen’s power was a bit too much for him, so he wanted to cause him to rebound before pulling apart the distance and using long-range attacks .
But just as his bowstring was about to meet Long Chen’s broadsword, Long Chen’s other hand opened, and a ball of lightning shot toward Yu Changhao .
Roaring filled the air, as a lightning dragon appeared within that ball . It bared its fangs and brandished its claws at Yu Changhao .
Yu Changhao was horrified . It was too late for him to do anything against this sudden, terrifying move . He hastily activated the golden armor’s defenses .
BOOM!
Lei Long’s claw landed on Yu Changhao, and he immediately felt all his hair stand on end . He wildly vomited blood .
And the worst thing for him was that Long Chen’s sword was clas.h.i.+ng at his head . Everything was happening too fast, and the distant Xue You didn’t have any chance to help .
“Feather Blade Flying Slaughter!” Yu Changhao roared furiously and his feathers lit up . They left his wings and transformed into golden rays that shot toward Long Chen .
At such a close range, Long Chen could only use his broadsword to protect his head . The rest of his body was instantly pierced by countless rays, practically turning into a sieve .
These feathers were Yu Changhao’s strongest defense and also his strongest offense . But when these feathers left his body, they would only be usable once .
If Long Chen’s vitality wasn’t so tough, then even with his divine ring and Four Star Battle Armor, his physical body would probably have exploded .
“Long Chen!” cried Yue Xiaoqian .
“This birdman’s strong, but can a bird still be called a bird once it loses all its feathers? Die!”
What startled everyone was that Long Chen’s heavily injured body instantly healed . If it weren’t for his broken clothes, they might even suspect that their eyes had broken .
Long Chen’s broadsword slashed toward Yu Changhao . On the other side, Xue You’s bone claw was blocked by Lei Long . Lei Long’s tail tightly bound the claw . Rumbling rang out and the bone claw was forced back .
Yu Changhao didn’t manage to block Long Chen’s attack, and Sword Qi landed right on his body . He protected his vitals with his wings, but he still vomited blood . At the same time, his practically indestructible wings were cut open, and blood poured out .
Without the protection of his feathers, the defensive power of his wings had dropped sharply . He was no longer able to block Long Chen’s attacks .
Yu Changhao flew back to Xue You’s side . He needed to stay next to Xue You so he could borrow the Evil Dragon Bone Claw to handle Long Chen .
“Raging Flame Prison!”
Yu Changhao had just retreated to Xue You’s side when endless flame energy condensed around them . Long Chen also formed hand seals, and chanting filled the air, resounding throughout heaven and earth .
A huge flame prison formed around them . Long Chen had used Lei Long to distract them so he could use the Raging Flame Prison . Now that the Raging Flame Prison had appeared, Long Chen directly activated the Nirvana Scripture to increase its power .
Xue You and Yu Changhao’s expressions changed . They hadn’t expected Long Chen to also use a magical art, and they didn’t have any defenses against it . Thus, they ended up falling for it .
They attacked the flame prison, but they were horrified to find that these flame chains had formed many layers, and they were unbreakable . There was no way to break them with brute force .
After all, not everyone had Voidpiercing Eyes, nor were there that many people as learned as Yue Xiaoqian . They weren’t able to see through the nodes of the Raging Flame Prison . If their attacks didn’t land on those nodes, then their attacks would be blunted by the entire Raging Flame Prison .
As the Nirvana Scripture circulated, the chanting in the air grew louder . It was like the chanting of G.o.ds, sacred and holy . The stars in Long Chen’s eyes shone and his divine ring circulated . Standing atop Lei Long’s head, he appeared like a G.o.d in front of the spectators outside .
Xue You was acclaimed to be the Corrupt path’s top expert in Eastern Wasteland, while Yu Changhao was the leader of the ancient races’ junior generation . They were both peak experts . But even working together against Long Chen, they were still at a disadvantage . Long Chen was practically heaven-defying .
Xue You and Yu Changhao were horrified to find that no matter how they struggled, the flame prison continued to shrink and grow stronger . The Evil Dragon Bone Claw was still outside, and now it was unable to attack the flame prison . It wasn’t as if they could attack themselves with it .
“We can’t hold back any longer,” said Xue You . Yu Changhao nodded .
“Blood Devil Devours the Heavens!”
An image of a blood devil appeared behind Xue You . It opened its mouth, and the world turned dark . That blood devil then split open and transformed into blood-colored runes that entered Xue You’s body .
His third eye opened and an evil aura instantly erupted . It was like the gates of h.e.l.l had been opened . Despite the flame prison, there was a chill in the air now .
A ray of light shot from his third eye onto the flame prison . One of the incredibly st.u.r.dy flame chains was severed by that strange light .
Following one chain’s destruction, the entire flame prison crumbled . The two of them instantly regained their freedom .
“Even if it’s a merged flame, it’s still trash . If it had been the Earth Flame’s power, they wouldn’t have been able to even think about escaping . ” Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh . The Earth Flame was still in slumber . He had used his merged flame that was formed from various beast flames . But its toughness was lacking, and when the flame prison was destroyed, he also received a backlash . He almost coughed up blood .
“I can’t continue like this . I won’t be able to keep up the Four Star Battle Armor for long . ” Long Chen suddenly noticed that after fighting for so long, his spiritual yuan was already starting to decline .
“Long Chen, time for you to die!” Xue You’s hair was standing on end, and black blood was pouring out of his third eye . He had clearly suffered a painful price to gain this battle power .
Suddenly, his third eye released a blinding light . It shot onto the Evil Dragon Bone Claw, and black qi began to rise from the ground .
“Careful Long Chen, he’s absorbing the resentful spirit energy of the dead! He’s going to use the Evil Dragon Bone Claw’s item-spirit!” warned Yue Xiaoqian . She summoned wings to fly up and a.s.sist .
“Xiaoqian, don’t . I can handle it . ” Long Chen stopped her . If she released her full strength, perhaps she could block this attack, but it wasn’t worth it . They couldn’t expose her ident.i.ty here .
Long Chen had already thought it through . If he really couldn’t handle it, then he would use the Eastern Wasteland Bell . It had already promised to help him out once . No matter how difficult the situation, it could help him handle it . Originally, he had been planning on leaving that opportunity to do some bigger things .
But, to kill two peak experts here wasn’t small either . He wasn’t losing much .
The Evil Dragon Bone Claw had now absorbed the fallen experts’ resentment thanks to Xue You’s third eye . It began to glow, and it was like something was awakening . The s.p.a.ce around it was constantly quivering .
Rumbling filled the air . This rumbling came from Yu Changhao . His bow had now grown to three hundred meters, and it was floating upright behind him . He was forming hand seals, and the runes on his wings lit up .
Those runes were growing brighter and brighter until they were like blazing suns, too bright to stare at directly .
Yu Changhao was using his essence blood to summon his Treasure item’s spirit . Fundamentally, Treasure items could only be activated once a cultivator had at least reached Sea Expansion, but this was an inherited weapon that had been nourished by his race . As long as it received the summoning of his essence blood, it would be willing to use a portion of its power . Although that portion was very little, for a Xiantian expert, that was a lethal power .
For Xiantian experts to be able to use a Treasure item, they had to first obtain the Treasure item’s approval . Yu Changhao’s weapon was like that .
As for Long Chen’s Flying Rainbow, it had also once activated its power, but that wasn’t because of Long Chen . It had been provoked, and it had naturally released that power . Long Chen hadn’t obtained its approval, so he was unable to use its power .
The light coming from Yu Changhao reached a pinnacle, and then began to dim . But as Yu Changhao’s body dimmed, the bow behind him grew brighter .
At the same time, it was like an invisible hand was pulling the bowstring . Countless runes condensed, forming a huge arrow .
The s.p.a.ce around him was constantly quivering as the world’s energy was being absorbed by it . Its aura was horrifyingly alarming .
This was a peak attack, one that contained all of Yu Changhao’s power . Yu Changhao’s wings now lost all their light, and they had turned black . In fact, they looked like charred earth, and signs of rotting had appeared on them . He had paid an incredible price for this attack . Yu Changhao’s face was as lifeless as a corpse’s .
“Die!”
Yu Changhao and Xue You roared at the same time . The Evil Dragon Bone Claw clenched into a fist and smashed toward Long Chen . At the same time, a huge arrow shot toward him . The two attacks caused heaven and earth to tremble .
Long Chen sighed . He was a bit unwilling, but he had decided to use a divine item to swat mosquitoes . He would use the Eastern Wasteland Bell to kill them .
Just as he was about to ask the Eastern Wasteland Bell for help, a fierce fluctuation came from within the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . Long Chen’s expression suddenly became ecstatic .
