Fan Ji looked down at Long Chen and the others from his high vantage point, a sinister smile playing on his lips, but he maintained a righteous demeanor and shouted:
"Long Chen, Mo Nian, one of you shattered the scales of heaven, causing the laws of the Heavenly Domain Battlefield to become unbalanced.
The other took the opportunity to infiltrate the Land of Absolute Yin, intending to release the Dark Demon and bring it into the Nine Heavens World, causing boundless calamity.
Speak, who ordered you to do this? What conspiracy lies behind this?"
Hearing Fan Ji pin the blame on Long Chen and Mo Nian, everyone present was enraged.
"Long Chen, you're a hypocrite! We thought you destroyed the scales to create an opportunity for the beings of the Nine Heavens, but we never expected you were just covering for Mo Nian."
"Mo Nian, that despicable tomb raider, wants to lure the dark demons of the Absolute Yin Land into the Nine Heavens World! Are you trying to destroy the Nine Heavens World?"
"Fortunately, Lord Fan Ji intervened in time, using his supreme divine power to control these dark demons. Otherwise, countless beings of the Nine Heavens World would have been slaughtered."
"That Absolute Yin Land has been planned for countless years; it's definitely not something the two of you could have accomplished. Tell us, who ordered you? Was it the Dragon Clan, the Purple Blood Clan? The Lingxiao Academy? Or someone else…?"
Behind Fan Ji, countless powerful figures from the Nine Heavens World pointed at Long Chen and the others, cursing them. In their eyes, Long Chen and the others were heinous criminals, their faces contorted with hatred, wishing they could tear them to pieces and scatter their ashes.
"These bastards..."
Blood Butcher stood behind Long Chen, his teeth grinding together. They were too vicious. It was clearly their conspiracy, yet they were framing Long Chen and Mo Nian.
Not only that, once they left the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, they would turn their attention to the Dragon Clan, the Purple Blood Clan, and the Lingxiao Academy, becoming the embodiment of justice and able to openly and legitimately punish these forces.
Then, with a single call from the Brahma lineage, countless unsuspecting forces would surely rise up against them, determined to eradicate them completely. Their treachery and malice were extreme.
Blood Butcher was about to unleash a torrent of curses when Long Chen stopped him. Arguing with these people was a waste of energy.
There was no need for any explanation, because those who had wronged them knew better than they did how wronged they were.
"Long Chen, I still have a few trump cards, but they're all defensive. I used up all my offensive trump cards during the breakout," Mo Nian whispered.
Long Chen nodded. Breaking through the blockade of Fan Ji's massive army with so many people wouldn't have been possible without paying a price.
Especially those tens of millions of Dark Demons at the peak of the Emperor realm; although they lacked intelligence, their strength was astonishing. Mo Nian's ability to break through was already a remarkable feat.
"I also have a few trump cards, but I need your cooperation..." Long Chen replied.
Just as Long Chen and Mo Nian were secretly exchanging words, countless powerful figures from Fan Ji's side began to slowly surround them.
"Buzz!"
Mo Nian suddenly appeared in the void, his hands forming a seal, and a giant bow capable of traveling a thousand miles appeared.
"Out of tricks? Your broken bow can't even shake my Brahma Divine Diagram. I advise you not to humiliate yourself." Fan Ji sneered when he saw Mo Nian assume a fighting stance.
Previously, he had exchanged thousands of blows with Mo Nian. The longbow in Mo Nian's hand had an astonishing origin and terrifying power, having annihilated countless powerful figures on his side.
However, compared to the Brahma Divine Diagram personally drawn by the Great Brahma himself, it was still inferior.
It was precisely because of the superior weaponry that Fan Ji gained a significant advantage. Mo Nian's unpredictable archery skills posed no fatal threat to him.
Previously, Mo Nian had led the group in a breakout, using all his trump cards. He and Xie Wanyi had withstood attacks from numerous powerful figures, expending enormous energy. Now, they were at their limit and unable to put any pressure on Fan Ji.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the giant bow on Mo Nian's back trembled violently. Before the bowstring had even reached its maximum draw, it was already fired halfway through.
"Hahaha..."
This scene caused countless powerful figures behind Fan Ji to burst into laughter. Mo Nian seemed like an elderly man whose strength waned halfway through drawing the bow, and the arrow flew out as if powerless.
"Whoosh!"
Not only was the arrow weak and powerless, but with the giant bow's tremor, the huge arrow also went astray, drawing an arc in the air and flying into the distance.
The huge arrow flew directly to the outer edge of the battlefield, passing by a group of powerful figures. And those powerful figures were none other than the Nine Stars lineage experts who had been waiting for their opportunity.
"No!"
As the enormous arrow flew towards them, Xueying's expression changed drastically.
"Boom!"
The arrow exploded, and a figure shot out amidst a burst of endless stars.
"Four-Star Demon Imprisonment!"
No one expected that Long Chen, hidden within the arrow that had been ridiculed by countless people, was actually the one who had been imprisoned.
With a shout from Long Chen, endless stars swirled, and four pillars of light, pointing in four directions, enveloped all the Nine-Star Successors.
Immediately afterward, countless star runes shot out from the four pillars of light, forming a star cage.
"Boom!"
Just as the star cage formed, a sharp sword pierced the cage wall, instantly creating a hole about a foot wide.
"Whoosh!"
A slender figure, like a dragon, flew out through the hole. The cage wall instantly healed as soon as the slender figure emerged.
"Long Chen..."
The figure that emerged was Xueying. Filled with shock and rage, eight stars swirled behind her, and she donned a star armor, unleashing her full power as she slashed at Long Chen with her sword.
At this moment, Blood Shadow was extremely anxious. From the instant Long Chen launched his sneak attack, her mind raced, and she immediately understood Long Chen's intentions. It was precisely because she understood Long Chen's intentions that she was even more anxious.
"Star River God-Slaying Spear!"
"Boom!"
Before Blood Shadow could even get close to Long Chen, a star spear came hurtling towards her, instantly blocking her path. Long Chen had already anticipated her attack route; his sword struck the spear, and Blood Shadow let out a muffled groan, being blasted back a thousand miles.
"Rumble..."
The four star pillars rapidly compressed, the star walls closing in, and the Nine Star lineage inheritors inside panicked, screaming in terror.
"Pfft!"
However, the four star pillars instantly merged, and all the Nine Star lineage inheritors were instantly crushed.
Seeing all her subordinates annihilated in an instant, Blood Shadow let out a shrill roar: "Long Chen..."
"Bullying the weak, repaying kindness with enmity, I am merely seeking some justice for the Primordial Demon Clan. If you are not convinced, then come and fight!" Long Chen shouted.
"Boom!"
The four pillars of stars shattered, transforming into countless stars, which then formed a new Star Gate.
To everyone's astonishment, the Star Gate, previously riddled with cracks, was instantly repaired.
"So ruthless! Long Chen killed those Nine Star lineage experts, extracted their star power, and replenished his own power!" someone exclaimed.
They finally understood that Mo Nian's arrow earlier was merely a performance, a show to impress everyone; his true objective was to deliver Long Chen to the Nine Star lineage experts.
"You…"
Xue Ying trembled with rage. She had been incredibly careful, patiently waiting for her chance, but unexpectedly, disaster struck instantly, leaving her utterly alone.
Her heart bled, but she lacked the courage to fight Long Chen. She gritted her teeth, unable to utter a single word.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen's figure flickered, already standing outside the coffin barrier, facing Fan Ji.
"Buzz!"
A golden crown appeared above Long Chen's head.
"Dragonblood Legion, it's time for your full resurrection."
After speaking, Long Chen tossed the golden crown from his head onto the heads of the Dragonblood Legion.
"Boom!"
The golden crown shattered, transforming into golden light curtains that enveloped the Dragonblood Legion and all the powerful dragons.
Meanwhile, far from the battlefield, countless powerful dragons from beyond the realms gathered, seemingly waiting for something.
A man sitting cross-legged in the void suddenly sensed something, opened his eyes, looked at the powerful dragons, and gritted his teeth:
"Sorry, I'll borrow your lives for a moment."
