"Crack, crack, crack..."
Before Long Chen could react, the distant spatial gate suddenly shattered, and a black lotus flower emerged from it.
It was a huge black lotus, and at its core was a vortex. As soon as the vortex appeared, all the powerful beings present immediately moved.
"Rumble rumble... The
skeletal warhorse let out a long neigh, its bones glowing as it pulled the bronze chariot, shooting toward the black lotus like a meteor.
At the same time, other clan powerhouses roared and charged forward. At that moment, everyone seemed to go mad, pushing forward with their strongest defenses and frantically pushing forward.
"Let's go."
Long Chen wielded a blood-red long blade, starlight swirling around him. Facing the chaotic battlefield ahead, he plunged the blood-red blade into the sky and slashed fiercely ahead.
"Heaven-Opening Fourth Form"
Other powerful figures pushed forward, but Long Chen was even more violent. Anyone who stood in his way must die.
"Rumble... The
blade energy shot skyward, tearing through the heavens. The massive blade shadow slashed straight toward the distant black lotus, covering all the powerful beings along the line under the power of this blade.
"Courting death."
Countless powerful figures ahead were desperately charging inside. Those who had come here were the top-tier experts in the Nine Heavens World. They feared each other and didn't want to fight desperately unless absolutely necessary.
So, they all raised their protective shields, each relying on their true strength to see who could outcrowd the other.
But Long Chen's strike broke the unspoken rules everyone had followed. It was unmatched in its sharpness, sending countless experts flying, blood spraying everywhere, and a bloody path was instantly carved out ahead.
At that moment, Feng You and the others were stunned. She hadn't expected Long Chen to be so formidable, even willing to challenge them.
Originally, with Feng You's plan, being able to get here meant they had already set a historic precedent. They planned to wait until the strongest group entered first, then wait for the second wave to enter.
You have to know, according to historical records, the Fusion Beast Clan was always the last to enter. They had already created unprecedented glory and were satisfied.
But while they were satisfied, Long Chen was not. He forcefully cleared the way, carved a bloody path with a single slash, and then charged straight ahead.
Seeing Long Chen rush over, Feng You and the others gritted their teeth and followed suit. Now, they had no choice left.
"Damn humans, you lowly Fusion Beast Clan, just you wait..." A powerful figure ahead suffered a heavy blow and roared loudly.
Now that the gate was open, they had no time to settle scores with Long Chen. Despite suffering a heavy loss, they still charged forward frantically.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
At that moment, Long Chen slashed repeatedly with his blood-red longsword. Each strike condensed his power without releasing, until the fifth strike merged, the five forms merging, their power overlapping, and he slashed fiercely forward once again.
"Fifth Form of Heaven-Opening" "
Boom!"
This slash changed the color of heaven and earth. The will to open heaven that made the nine heavens tremble with the souls of countless powerful beings.
"Courting death!"
A powerful figure roared ahead, but facing Long Chen's terrifying strike, they didn't want to waste energy blocking it.
Because blocking this strike would cost them dearly, severely slowing their impact speed. Countless powerful figures, though gritting their teeth, dared not resist and all tried to dodge.
"Puff puff puff... Some
powerful beings couldn't dodge in time and were struck by a single strike, turning into a mist of blood. The combined five-form strike possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth. Even those with five-star destiny could only swallow their fate.
"Whoosh!"
Using the power of this blade, Long Chen forcibly carved through the crowd, splitting a passage and quickly leading the Beast Fusion Clan experts to the very front.
"Long Chen, be careful, it's Xie Fei!"
Long Chen and the others sped all the way. When they reached the first line, Feng You immediately spotted a figure carrying a huge scythe ahead—it was none other than Xie Fei, the young sect master of the Tianxie Sect.
What shocked Feng You most was that at this moment, Xie Fei's aura was vast as the sea, his entire aura completely transformed, as if possessed by a god. Just one glance at him sent a shiver through one's soul.
Long Chen not only saw Xie Fei, but also Wu Hun, and several monkeys covered in golden fur. Among these golden monkeys, one had even fought Long Chen before.
What made Long Chen's heart chill, among those golden-haired monkeys, was a powerhouse even more terrifying than his aura. That golden-haired monkey wore a golden crown and had eerie purple pupils. Even from a great distance, he still exerted an immense sense of oppression on Long Chen.
Additionally, Long Chen saw the powerful members of the Black Rock Nine Nether Python clan. As Feng You said, the Black Rock Nine Nether Python had many branches, and Yan Baichen was just one branch of the python.
And the true powerhouses of the Black Rock Nine Nether Python clan are all here—not just the python, but also countless powerful beings from the demon clan, blood clan, demon clan, beast clan, and many others.
Long Chen even saw the Spirit Clan experts, but in this situation, he couldn't greet them.
Although the Earth Spirit Clan's mother tree had once instructed Long Chen to seek refuge when encountering Spirit Clan experts, Long Chen was still so proud inside. Why would you seek help from others?
There were far too many powerful figures here. Just the existence on par with Xie Fei, Wu Hun, and the mysterious powerhouses inside the bronze chariot was countless. Long Chen had no time to worry about all of them. Once the bow is drawn, there's no turning back. At this moment, he could only charge forward desperately.
Long Chen charged at incredible speed. He didn't attack again, wielding the blood-red broadsword, all his energy and spirit concentrated on the blade. Anyone who dared to stop would be a thunderous strike.
"Rumble..."
Soon, Long Chen had led the Beast Fusion Clan to the forefront, standing shoulder to shoulder with the strongest forces in the Nine Heavens World.
At that moment, the strong warriors of the Fusion Beast Clan were filled with passion. Even Feng You couldn't help but feel his blood boil, because everywhere he looked, all those powerful figures came from the world's top forces.
Normally, the Beast Fusion Clan could only look up to them, but now, under Long Chen's leadership, they sped alongside them. The glory and pride were beyond words.
Hundreds of factions charged forward simultaneously, but their speed was surprisingly consistent. Long Chen had tried many times, but no matter how he accelerated, he could never shake off the others at all. The same was true for others.
At this moment, Long Chen realized that this was the law of the Gate of the World—it couldn't be forced. However, all the major powers tacitly kept a certain distance, keeping their own waters apart.
But as the vortex drew closer to the core area of the black lotus, the powerful figures from the major factions began to slowly draw closer.
It was like a thousand boats crossing a river—the river narrowed, the spacious area instantly became congested, and at that moment, several forces simultaneously surged toward the Beast Fusion Clan.
At that momentFeng You and the others instantly tensed up, while a ruthless look appeared on Long Chen's face as the blood-red long blade in his hand began to roar and explode.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the void trembled, and a scythe slashed through the air—it was Xie Fei making a move. The scythe sliced through the void, and the entire world began to shift into disalignment, as if his blade had cleaved it in two.
"Prepare to die, lowly human, accept the judgment of the evil god." Heaven and earth trembled, divine might surged, and Xie Fei unleashed his strongest ultimate strike.
"Seven-Star Battle Body—activate!"
Long Chen shouted in his heart, his violent aura surging toward the heavenly tribulation, like a volcano erupting that had been dormant for billions of years.
