"How is this possible? Can it avoid the soul locks of Earth Saint-level experts, and also evade the perception of sacred weapons?" This time, even Lord Tiansi's face showed disbelief.
Previously, Long Chen slapped the Earth Saint of the Celestial Clan. Perhaps it was a surprise attack, or it could be said that the Earth Saint was careless and careless.
But at this moment, the Earth Saint warrior of the Celestial Clan had already entered combat mode and activated his sacred weapon. In this situation, there was no need to deliberately guard against anything. As long as Long Chen approached, both the Earth Saint expert and the Saint Weapon in his hand would sense it and react instinctively.
In this world, some may be able to deceive the senses of the strong, but they cannot fool the senses of divine weapons. After all, divine weapons have no emotions and are almost impossible to deceive.
Any movement carrying hostility and killing intent would be detected by it. This was an iron law, an unchanging law, yet this law was broken in front of Long Chen.
Long Chen's slap on the Earth Saint of the Heavenly Human race not only showed no reaction himself, but even the divine weapon in his hand showed no blocking or attacking move. This bizarre scene overturned the understanding of countless experts.
The stronger the person, the more shocked they were by Long Chen's strike. It was a blow that overturned common sense, leaving everyone stunned.
"First move"
Just as the Earth Saint of the Celestial Clan rolled out and everyone was shocked, Long Chen still carried the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, maintaining a swinging motion and uttering three words.
A slap counted as a slap—this was the ultimate humiliation to the Earth Saint warrior of the Celestial Clan. When the Celestial Saint steadied himself, half his face was already a bloody mess, his teeth nearly shattered, and his eyes nearly spitting fire.
"Die."
The Earth Saint expert of the Celestial Clan had learned his lesson this time, no longer wasting words. The broad sword in his hand emitted countless sword shadows, sweeping across the heavens and forming boundless sword waves. As soon as the waves formed, they suddenly merged into one, slashing down with a single sword.
Facing the full-force strike from the Earth Saint expert, Long Chen gripped the Dragon Bone Evil Moon with both hands. Blood-red divine light flowed across his scales, and in the vision behind him, the figure of a giant dragon swam rapidly, vast blood energy surging wildly into Long Chen's body.
Long Chen felt as if lava was flowing within him. Every flow of dragon blood was wildly absorbing the aura of this world, bringing him endless power.
"Six Forms in One" —
Long Chen's moves and formula were the same, but the moment Long Chen slashed out, the phenomenon behind Long Chen suddenly froze, even the rotating divine ring stopped working, and the black energy around Dragonbone Evil Moon instantly solidified.
"Boom!"
Facing the Earth Saint's full-force attack, Long Chen neither dodged nor dodged, clashing head-on. The two divine weapons clashed again, causing the earth to tremble, mountains to shatter, myriad paths torn apart. Long Chen's palm was struck with intense pain, and then his chest felt as if struck by a boulder, sending him flying backward.
As Long Chen was sent flying, the Earth Saint of the Celestial Clan on the opposite side was no better, and was also sent flying.
"Pfft!"
Almost simultaneously, both of them spat out a mouthful of blood. A shocking scene unfolded: Long Chen and the Earth Saint of the Celestial Clan were sent flying backward, but their weapons remained in place, sticking together.
"The artifact spirit that devoured that black blade will avenge your master." The Earth Saint of the Celestial Clan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face twisted with rage as he roared. At the same time, he clenched his hands and charged toward Long Chen like a divine bird.
"Xie Yue" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Don't worry about me. There's no way I won't eat the fat meat delivered to me. Don't forget, how did I get this body? "Dragon Bone Xie Yue chuckled.
Long Chen suddenly understood: the Dragonbone Evil Moon being sucked was intentional, luring the opponent's artifact spirit to devour it. He was turning the tables.
It should be known that before the Dragonbone Evil Moon took control of this body, it devoured endless dragon souls. In this matter of devouring, it was an ancestor-level existence.
"Without weapons, let's see how many moves you can hold out."
The Earth Saint of the Heavenly Human race sneered, his claw striking down from midair, twisting a vast expanse of void. Countless Heavenly Dao runes swirled, forming a giant claw that covered all space around Long Chen.
"The Way of Man—Covering the Sky with One Hand."
As the palm struck, it was like a net covering the sky, as if an invisible hand was gripping the soul and striking the softest spot of the heart.
The onlookers' souls trembled. Though they were only enduring the lingering force, the unstoppable power left them utterly hopeless. In front of an Earth Saint expert, submission might be the best destination. Resistance only brings more pain, but it cannot change the outcome.
"You must feel with your hearts that above the sage king, there is a division of Heaven, Earth, and Man, each controlling the Way of Heaven, the Way of Earth, and the Way of Man.
The way of humanity mainly targets human emotions and desires. If your willpower is weak, you won't even have the thought to resist, and will be at the mercy of others and enslaved.
At this moment, the pressure Long Chen was enduring was millions of times greater than yours. If you couldn't even withstand this small aftershock, how could you face more challenges in the future? A Saint King expert saw the fear in his disciples' eyes and couldn't help but curse.
At the same time, countless Saint King experts also urged their disciples not to evade, actively embracing the lingering power to temper their will.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a dragon claw reached out from the divine ring behind Long Chen's back, grabbing the opponent's large hand. With a loud explosion, the sky-covering hand was shattered by the dragon claw.
"He is actually unaffected by the Way of Man?"
Seeing the giant hand that covers the sky shattered, people cried out in alarm. The way of humanity is a technique of attacking the mind. Any strong opponent will be affected to some extent before it—at best, it hinders their performance; at worst, they give up resisting and wait to die.
The Way of Man is a unique power of the Heavenly Dao that the Human Saint masters only after they have experienced the Human Saint Tribulation. This power comes from their experiences during the tribulation, imitating the strength of the tribulation to defend against enemies.
Everyone has emotions and desires; no one is unaffected, but Long Chen seemed to show no reaction; his attacks remained fierce and unmatched.
"Third move" Dragon
Claw Annihilation Great Hand, uttering three words in a calm manner. Even at this point, Long Chen was still recording his moves.
"Bastard, don't get cocky. I don't believe you have weaknesses. Human ways—the Soul Viewing Mirror." The Earth Saint of the Celestial Clan roared angrily, forming hand seals with both hands.
"Buzz"—
the void trembled, and a huge mirror appeared before Long Chen. As soon as the mirror appeared, before Long Chen could react, countless powerful figures cried out in alarm, their voices filled with fear.
When people looked at the mirror, countless terrifying images appeared: bloody beasts, ferocious monsters, and fierce spirits wielding butchering knives. Some disciples screamed in terror and then closed their eyes.
"Open your eyes, everyone! This mirror contains the things you fear most. You must face them directly." A Saint King roared; this was a rare trial opportunity, and he didn't want his disciples to miss it.
That was the Soul-Viewing Mirror used by Earth Saint-level experts. Not every faction had so many Earth Saint-level experts; some smaller factions even had only one Earth Saint-level expert. Such a bargain would be a huge loss if not taken advantage of it. After all, using such divine arts consumes a tremendous amount of energy.
When Long Chen saw the mirror, he was instantly stunned. At that moment, countless people cried out in shock, shocked to discover that the Earth Saint of the Celestial Clan had appeared behind Long Chen like a ghost, his sharp claws like lightning, reaching straight for his back.
At this moment, Long Chen seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, his eyes lifeless, completely motionless.
"Smack"
Yet just as countless people thought Long Chen was about to be killed, Long Chen didn't look up, didn't twist his face, didn't look back, and casually slapped him backward. By coincidence, the slap landed squarely on the face of the Earth Saint of the Celestial Clan.
