Chapter 6981 Crisis Descends

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The astral heaven whale swallowed Su Mo in seconds, crushing him and destroying the Brahma Divine Diagram behind him.

What? Long Chen was dumbfounded.

Su Mo was strong, and he hadnt even used the energy stored in the divine diagram behind him. Still, this attack killed him instantly. Even Long Chen hadnt expected that.

Long Chen had planned to use this move to force Su Mo to reveal more of his trump cards, but instead, Su Mo was killed right away.

All of a sudden, Long Chen realized what had happened. The astral heaven whale!

This was his strongest killing move, and it was extremely powerful. Still, he had thought it would only injure Su Mo at most.

Staring at the scattering blood mist in shock, Long Chen muttered, How terrifying. It merged with the laws of heaven and earth on its own. It even marked itself with the mark of this era

The giant whale faded away and was replaced by a large star. But that star didnt have any trace of the new eras laws.

The next moment, a bell sounded, but the astral bell also lacked any sign of the new eras laws.

Only the astral heaven whale had taken on the new eras mark and laws; none of Long Chens other techniques could do that.

Ah, if only I had known this beforehand, I wouldnt have used this move! Long Chen sighed.

Long Chen had just started to glimpse some of the secrets of the new eras laws from Su Mo before he died, and now he felt regretful.

His astral energy surged out, wrapping around the blood mist and drawing it into the primal chaos space.

If Zhi Zhi were still here, Long Chen wouldnt have to do anything. Zhi Zhi would have handled it by itself.

As the black soil devoured Su Mos blood, life energy and law power instantly flooded the primal chaos space. On his own, Su Mo matched all the previous gains from the mutated lifeforms.

Long Chen looked at the Heavenly Dao Tree. As he expected, a new fruit had appeared at the very top.

But the fruit was withered, and the laws on it were a mess. The will of the Heavenly Daos was tangled together with faith energy.

It looks like these sacrifices are just pawns for the major factions. Theyre also the weapons used against weaker groups. Once the new era arrives, theyll be thrown away. They wont have any value even here! Long Chen sighed.

He tossed the withered Heavenly Dao Fruit into the black soil. It was devoured and gave off a small burst of energy.

Big brother Long Chen, lets go hunting! If we gather more law power, well also have the mark of the new era and become experts who control this eras laws! Huo Linger urged.

The steady stream of corpses had benefited Huo Linger and the others the most, but it still wasnt enough. They wanted more.

Just then, the sound of a zither rang out, making hundreds of experts in the Flame God Sect cry out in pain.

After Long Chen killed Su Mo, Zi Yan played the Heavenly Devil Zither. Her music pierced their hearts, and all the traitors were revealed at once.

Long Chen, I didnt expect there to be so many traitors among us. News of you being in the sect must have spread before nightfall. There will definitely be more experts like Su Mo coming! Chi Yutong said, looking upset and ashamed.

Everyone had just seen Su Mos strength. He rushed over as soon as the destructive laws faded, hoping to claim the title of the one who killed the top figure of the nine heavens.

Su Mo was afraid others would get there first, so he rushed over before even stabilizing his cultivation base. He also missed the chance to break through to the Divine Sovereign realm.

These pawns knew their fate and their mission. While others hadnt advanced yet, they would kill as many as they could to prove their worth.

Before the new dawn illuminated the darkness, they would eliminate all their enemies and seize their resources. Once the dawn came, the other experts of the new era would break through, and these Forerunners would be left behind.

In the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture alone, there were countless people who wanted to kill Long Chen. There were also many traitors in the Flame God Sect. News of Long Chen being there had already spread.

Long Chen now stood out like a candle in the dark. Countless experts would target him now.

Seeing Chi Yutongs guilty expression, Long Chen smiled and patted her shoulder.

He said, They would have come anyway. Even if there werent traitors, they would still attack the Flame God Sect and the Spirit Heart Sect.

Chi Yutong felt a little better. It was trueeveryone knew the two sects were connected to Long Chen. His enemies would never let them off.

Chi Yuluo quickly scouted their surroundings and cried out. Big sister, the terrain has changed!

The surrounding mountain range had completely transformed. What was once barren land was now full of life. The ground was covered with all kinds of plants, including many flame-element spirit plants.

To the northwest, a flower-demon had created its own domain, but Chi Yuluo left it alone. From what Chi Yuluo could sense, the flower-demon was likely in the Divine Emperor realm. They had no idea where it came from.

Yutong, Yuluo, the flower-demon is a flame-element lifeform. It seems intelligent, and its aura isnt violent. Try talking to it and see if you can get it to join the Flame God Sect. Its core energy could help the disciples understand the new flame laws. In return, you can set up a spirit-gathering formation to help it grow and keep it safe, Long Chen suggested.

Long Chens sharp senses had picked up on the flower-demon as soon as he left the formations. It was a mutated lifeform with lots of potential. If raised well, it could become a priceless treasure.

Alright! Chi Yutong and Chi Yuluo immediately flew off to talk to the flower-demon.

Zi Yan, Xiaoqian, Im going to look around. I wont go far in case any Forerunners show up, Long Chen said.

Forerunners like Su Mo and Li Wujiu might be sacrificial pawns, but right now, they were the strongest trump cards of most major factions.

Su Mo was simply an idiot. He came here before even stabilizing his cultivation base. But who knew if there were more fools among the Forerunners?

Long Chen guessed that Su Mo had snuck out of the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture. After all, creating a Forerunner must have been a lot of work for Lord Brahma. They had to follow Lord Brahmas plans.

Lord Brahma knew Long Chens strength. He wouldnt give such a foolish order. When Lord Brahma made his move, he would make sure Long Chen was completely crushed.

Su Mo was just a warning, giving Long Chen more time to prepare. Even though Su Mos law power was still unstable, it was enough to put pressure on Long Chen.

If Su Mo had reached the Divine Sovereign realm, then in a one-on-one fight, Long Chen couldnt be sure he would win.

However, even though the destructive power in this world had faded, the laws were still chaotic. This still wasnt the best time to advance their cultivation bases.

If they advanced now, they would absorb these chaotic laws. With things so unstable, their cultivation base would become shaky, making them no different from the Forerunners. So everyone was still waiting.

Although they couldnt cultivate, they could now move through this world, get used to the new laws, and look for new discoveries.

Long Chenhadnt gone far before he suddenly paused.

Wait, this is
