As the dragon's roar rang out, the world instantly lost its color. Visibly, a sound wave formed a destructive aura, spreading in all directions.
Long Chen was the first to bear the brunt. He immediately covered his ears with both hands and locked his six senses at once, because he knew how terrifying this move was. He felt the overwhelming fury of the imperial clan powerhouse.
"Bang bang bang... Some
of the powerful figures who had charged too far had no time to react; in their eyes, the imperial clan experts were nothing but fat.
As a result, they were miserable. The moment they were struck by the sonic wave, their heads exploded, and more than a dozen headless corpses drifted down from the void.
Although Luo Changsheng, Minglong Tianzhao, Yu Zihao, and others were at the front, the moment they saw the imperial clan powerhouse howling to the sky, they reacted quickly and immediately retreated.
The powerful figures following behind them were caught off guard and instantly annihilated. At that moment, all the strong beings present were terrified and stunned.
You have to understand, they are all Nine-Star Destiny Warriors—monsters among monsters, geniuses among geniuses. With their strength, they were still wiped out by more than a dozen in an instant. This scene was simply unimaginable to them.
More than a dozen people were killed, countless were shaken to the point of bleeding wildly and were sent flying in disarray. Although they reacted quickly and opened their defenses in time, the sound wave was not so easily withstood by them; many divine artifacts couldn't stop them.
Some powerful figures covered their heads with both hands, letting out piercing screams. People were horrified to find their eyes shattered, their entire heads split into several pieces. They desperately held their heads to prevent them from shattering.
A dragon's roar made heaven and earth tremble, eternal mourning echoed. This roar contained not only destructive power but also supreme dragon might, penetrating deep into the soul.
"A bunch of ants, how dare you act so recklessly?"
The imperial clan powerhouse roared angrily, his voice echoing across heaven and earth. In life, he was a renowned figure, wielding unshakable authority even within the imperial clan.
Now, being treated like fat by a group of junior youths was an immense humiliation for him. Even a faint remnant soul, condensed within the heavenly tribulation, would absolutely not allow anyone to desecrate it.
"His body color has faded, which means he's starting to weaken. Don't be afraid, everyone, attack together and wear him down!" Luo Changsheng shouted loudly.
Luo Changsheng was right. After the imperial clan expert let out a dragon's roar, the blood-red color on his body did fade somewhat. Most importantly, the runes surrounding him began to sparse, and his aura also diminished.
Nevertheless, even so, the powerful figures present were terrified by the long howl of the Imperial Clan expert. They knew full well that the Imperial Clan was already beginning to weaken, yet they still dared not act rashly.
They knew that a camel to die is bigger than a horse, and once angered, he still had the strength to pull a group of people on the road.
He was just a wisp of a remnant soul, which others didn't care, but they were different. Risking a living life to fight a remnant soul was not worth it.
Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Luo Changsheng knew they were terrified. He shouted loudly, "Don't worry, everyone! Let's join forces and use defense instead of attack. Don't let him defeat them one by one—we can easily wear him down." As
Luo Changsheng spoke, he was actually the first to stand before everyone. With him taking the lead, everyone voluntarily gathered around him.
Although they all knew that Luo Changsheng might not be so kind-hearted, given the current situation, with someone taking the lead, they were willing to cooperate to avoid being defeated one by one by the imperial clan experts. Although they were all monster-level experts, few could withstand a single strike from the imperial clan powerhouse.
Faced with Luo Changsheng and the others' gathering, the imperial clan warrior's face darkened. This group still refused to give up and kept targeting him, which made him furious. He swung his spear and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and his eyes shifted behind the group.
Because at some point, a hole had appeared in the heavens, and a figure slowly descended from it, landing right behind Luo Changsheng and his group.
When Long Chen saw that figure, although he had been prepared, he was still startled. Logically, he should have appeared, but he shouldn't. His presence proved the imperial clan powerhouse's thinking was wrong.
At this moment, the imperial clan powerhouse looked at that figure in disbelief. He believed he had already mastered the entire heavenly tribulation, but the appearance of this person proved he was still part of the tribulation.
"Everyone, pay attention. Take your strongest defensive stance and ... him," Luo Changsheng was still loudly issuing orders to everyone, but when they saw the expressions of Long Chen and the imperial clan experts, they slowly turned their heads.
At the same time, the others sensed something was wrong and turned their heads. Although they knew that at this moment, attention should be on the imperial clan experts, their spiritual senses told them that the greatest danger lay behind them.
"Who are you?"
When they turned their heads, they saw a man standing behind them. Seven stars swirled behind him, slowly illuminating the world and draping the scene before them in a hazy, grim aura.
That man had a pair of crystal-clear eyes, like seven stars appearing in the blue starry sky. The seven stars flickered brightly, as if summoning from the end of life. Looking into his eyes, it felt as if they were trying to draw in one's soul.
The group of experts was shocked. They never imagined this person would suddenly appear here. Facing their questioning, the man didn't even spare them a glance; their eyes fixed ahead, meeting Long Chen's gaze across the distance.
It was as if, in his eyes, there was no one else but Long Chen. When he saw Long Chen, he strode straight toward him.
The imperial clan powerhouse saw him, then glanced up at the heavens. Suddenly, a self-mocking expression appeared on his face: "How awkward!" "
I was a bit embarrassed too; it seems I was celebrating too soon." Long Chen also smiled wryly.
Originally, he thought that this time he could use a shortcut, as long as he defeated the Imperial Clan experts, he could easily pass the tribulation.
Moreover, even if he couldn't defeat him, it was fine. After all, the imperial clan experts wouldn't kill him. He had thought this would be a safe, quick, and painless heavenly tribulation, but in the end, he still couldn't escape fate's tricks. He underestimated the determination of the heavenly Dao to kill him.
"Step step step ..."
The man walked step by step toward Long Chen. Facing the powerful figures before him, he ignored them. The experts present were both shocked and furious, having no idea what this guy was doing.
Among the powerful figures present, some people's faces changed dramatically, even showing some fear. They were clearly disciples of Yu Zihao and Luo Tianye.
Shock also appeared in the eyes of Luo Changsheng and Yin Jiushang; clearly, they recognized this person's identity.
"Are you mute?"
Facing the cold, proud man relentlessly approaching, someone finally couldn't hold back. With a furious roar, the halberd in his hand shot out like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, piercing through the void and aiming straight for the man's chest. With every move, it was the fiercest and most deadly strike.
