Long Chen moved his hands so quickly they blurred, and divine abilities powered by different laws poured down.
Yan Sheng and his millipede struggled, dodging frantically and sometimes getting knocked away.
The spectators watched in awe, overwhelmed by the display of divine abilities. None of them knew how they could possibly beat Long Chen.
“Is he really human? How can he control so many laws?!” exclaimed a stunned disciple behind Li Chenggang.
“A person cannot juggle this many laws at once, nor can they unleash attacks powered by different laws. Long Chen shows through his actions that what we call laws are really just techniques. In essence, all our years of cultivation and training have left us back at the starting point,” replied another disciple from the Calligraphy Sect, looking pale from this realization.
This female disciple was highly talented and respected among the younger generation. She was also known for her good character, which made Li Chenggang think highly of her. She had been training and gaining insights when Li Chenggang brought her to watch the battle.
Watching Long Chen display so many laws left her mind blank. Like everyone else, she couldn’t accept it. They had worked so hard at cultivation, only to realize they were still stuck at the level of technique, not true laws. It felt like all their effort was wasted.
Did this mean all their cultivation was meaningless? Did it mean their sects had no future?
Faced with such clear evidence, they had no choice but to believe it. They had to admit either their path was wrong, or Long Chen was a supreme being who could control every law in the world.
But that was impossible. Not even the greatest expert in the nine heavens and ten lands could do such a thing. The Star Master had only controlled astral laws.
When Long Chen’s final attack landed, Yan Sheng and the millipede went tumbling back. The millipede had lost so many legs it barely looked like one anymore.
Yan Sheng had turned pale. The nonstop attacks had shaken his view of the world, just as they had everyone else's. He gritted his teeth but couldn’t say anything back. His earlier mockery of Long Chen now felt like a slap in his own face.
Long Chen stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. The violet light swirling around him made him seem like a holy god.
Normally, Chi Yutong, Xin Yu, and the others would cheer for Long Chen. But they were also pale and lost.
Long Chen’s words hit both friends and enemies, shattering their confidence. The more talented they were, the harder it hit them.
“Senior apprentice-brother Chenggang, what kind of cultivation base does Long Chen have? Is he really a Sovereign Lord like us?” asked that female disciple of the Calligraphy Sect.
All the other disciples of the Calligraphy Sect turned toward Li Chenggang, listening intently.
Li Chenggang smiled slightly and said, “I previously told you that I had to endure countless trials and challenges, and seize numerous opportunities to see my own path clearly. I can barely touch the peak of this realm. On the other hand, Long Chen sits comfortably at the ceiling of this realm!”
“The ceiling?”
This assessment of Long Chen stunned everyone, especially since Li Chenggang was regarded as the Calligraphy Sect’s top junior expert.
He admitted he had just reached that peak, while Long Chen had been there long ago. Such an evaluation was truly daunting.
“But Long Chen, he said…” The female disciple muttered and fell silent.
Li Chenggang said, “Dean Long Chen has never lied. This was something you were meant to learn later, but he chose to reveal this secret publicly. You should thank Dean Long Chen later.”
“Senior apprentice-brother Chenggang, you…!”
His words implied he had known all along but had not shared it. The Calligraphy Sect’s disciples were shocked.
“It was not my choice to withhold this. The sect master warned me not to due to significant karmic implications. Today, Dean Long Chen has punched a hole in the window for you to glimpse your future. When you return, I believe the sect master will clarify matters and guide your cultivation path. Do not worry, everything is under control,” Li Chenggang explained.
The Calligraphy Sect’s disciples sighed with relief. Just now, they were deeply shaken.
“The sect master and senior apprentice-brother Chenggang did not dare to expose this secret to us. But Long Chen publicly announced it in front of everyone. Is he…?” the female disciple muttered, realizing the crux of the problem.
Everyone turned their attention back to the battlefield.
Long Chen just stood there indifferently, as if he hadn’t just revealed a shocking secret to the world.
“What a joke. You are just lying to everyone. Your violet blood possesses the properties of all energies. This omnipotent blood can imitate every law in the world. But an imitation is just an imitation. It does not have the true spirit of the law, or I would not still be standing here. You are spreading poison and trying to bewitch others!” Yan Sheng finally spoke, having regained his confidence.
“Omnipotent blood!”
This reminder brought everyone a sense of relief. It was rumored that the violet blood race possessed a particularly powerful bloodline within it, one capable of imitating every law.
However, the violet blood race was too mysterious and rarely interacted with the outside world. Even if someone encountered one of them, they wouldn’t meet their central figures with the purest bloodlines, let alone that legendary bloodline.
After a moment of shock, they realized that Long Chen did not control that many laws. It was all just an imitation. If it was only an imitation, then they could accept it. Their shattered confidence was restored.
Someone cursed, "Long Chen really is sinister!"
Another person quickly responded, “Don’t jump to conclusions. Compared to Yan Sheng, I’d trust this black-robed man more. I find it hard to believe anyone could be worse than Yan Sheng.”
Several whispers spread through the crowd, but Long Chen, the focus of the murmurs, merely smiled faintly.
Long Chen said, “The only reason I let you live this long and talk so much is because I have already achieved my first goal.”
“Your goal?”
Yan Sheng narrowed his eyes. That bad feeling rose within him again.
Long Chen said, “I have two goals that I want to achieve in this battle. One was to tell all the youngsters in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture not to be frogs at the bottom of a well. Don’t fall for the swindlers’ tricks. As a member of the human race, I have a duty to tell these harsh words. Whether people believe me or not is ultimately up to their own fate.”
“And your second goal?” Yan Sheng asked, his aura slowly growing.
The millipede slowly lowered its body, ready to fight at any moment.
“My second goal is to use your death as a warning to the Zither Sect and the divine capital. Provoking me is an extremely foolish decision!” Long Chen declared, his voice turning cold.
As he spoke, the ☷ essence rune manifested on his forehead. The earth quaked, and the sky shook. A force that frightened the entire world arose.
“Here it is! The real battle starts now!” Li Chenggang shouted excitedly.
