Chapter 7071 The Curtains Close

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

BOOM!

The violet-gold polearm was like a heavenly pillar standing in front of Long Chen. Long Can’s attack instantly shattered on contact with it. Long Can was blown back by the rebound force of her own attack, and blood sprayed from her mouth.

“The violet-gold polearm?! You…!”

Long Can was shocked and enraged. Her heart sank. The violet-gold polearm was part of a primal chaos divine item, the Violet Gold Bell. How could someone like Long Can not recognize it? But how was it that the violet-gold polearm was in Long Chen’s hands?

She suddenly recalled how Long Chen had first gone to the Violet Abyss. But had he really managed to reach such a level of trust that the Violet Abyss willingly lent him the violet-gold polearm?!

He had come to the Jiuli Divine Realm and acted as if he had failed his negotiations with the Violet Abyss. Now, it seemed all of that had been nothing more than a meticulous setup, and all of them had fallen for it.

All of them except Lord Brahma, more specifically. The moment he found out about this, he instantly knew that Long Can had been duped. He also knew that it would be difficult to reverse this situation. But he was also unwilling to just give up on a plan he had been working towards for countless years, so he did the only thing he could do: He took a gamble.

Right now, Lord Brahma’s hopes were on her. As long as she could capture Long Chen, it wouldn’t count as a loss. However, now that Long Chen was holding the violet-gold polearm, had recovered his bloodline power, and was in his Heaven Earth law empowerment state, she felt despair.

The violet-gold polearm stood before Long Chen. Its sacred divine light illuminated this world, and the area of destruction resulting from their previous exchange was actually slowly healing under this sacred light.

As space settled, the Six Dao Stone’s six pillars of light reappeared. There were now countless white chains stretched around those six pillars; they formed a net that enclosed the Six Dao Stone, Zi Yan, and the sinister Heavenly Devil Zither.

It appeared that this white net was what had stopped Green Old Sixth from coming to Long Chen’s aid. Other than immense faith energy, this net had blood-colored veins running through it. This was divine blood—the essence blood of a venerate among gods!

It was filled with divine laws that made it incredibly tough; even the Six Dao Stone was temporarily unable to break it. This was obviously something Lord Brahma had put into place to give Long Can the leisure to deal with Long Chen.

“Damn brat, even if I have to throw away this life of mine, I will still kill you!”

Long Can let out a roar of desperation. Her long hair flew back. A determined expression appeared in her eyes. She raised her head and shouted, “My body burns to forge the divine body! My soul burns to forge the divine soul! I offer everything I have to Brahma!

“Three manifestations merge with the Dao; ten thousand laws resonate! Brahma Sacrifice!”

Her body and soul burned away. She grew more and more translucent with each passing moment. But her three law manifestations merged into one, and it took the shape of Lord Brahma.

BOOM!

Long Can was wrapped in faith energy, and law power erupted like a volcano. A powerful divine pressure shook the world so hard that it felt as if the heavens would collapse. She had sacrificed herself in exchange for supreme power, and this sacrifice could not be stopped. In other words, even if Lord Brahma came out to save her, it would be useless. Whatever else happened, the immutable fact was that Long Can was dead.

Long Can’s aura instantly grew by ten times. The terrifying pressure caused thin cracks to appear in the void. Space looked like a shattered mirror, and it seemed as if the whole world would explode into countless colorful shards

“Fuck, what the hell?!” Long Chen jumped in fright. It was a good thing he had the violet-gold polearm. It was blocking Long Can’s horrifying power and created space for him to breathe even under this pressure.

At the same time, he was thankful that his bloodline power was essentially inexhaustible with the violet-gold polearm. While using his astral energy to fight, he had secretly been using his endless violet blood energy to replenish his Supreme Blood and dragon blood energy.

“She’s gone totally crazy! She really just killed herself to kill us!” said Evilmoon heavily. In this state, even its edge could not tear through Long Can’s domain.

Just as Evilmoon said this, Long Can’s sword arrived. A milky-white blade of Sword Qi slashed towards Long Chen; but even before the Sword Qi arrived, Long Chen’s soul shuddered from the pressure. He could distinctly smell the scent of impending death.

Grasping the violet-gold polearm, Long Chen mobilized the power of Heaven and Earth.

With things as they stood, he was utterly incapable of wielding the violet-gold polearm as its master. However, by using it as a conduit, he could create a domain with his Heaven-Earth law empowerment state. That would save him a great deal of power. Otherwise, whatever bloodline power he had, he would be instantly exhausted. Meanwhile, in his Heaven-Earth law empowerment state, his law power was limitless.

The violet-gold polearm blazed with light. Its massive domain instantly shrank down to an area a few hundred meters around Long Chen.

BOOM!

Just then, Long Can’s Sword Qi slashed onto the domain. The Sword Qi exploded.

Long Chen spat out blood. Shock flashed through his eyes. In this state, Long Can’s power was truly absurd; it had even managed to injure him through the violet-gold polearm’s defenses! Fortunately, his physical body was extremely tough. Otherwise, even with the violet-gold polearm, his body would have been destroyed.

Meanwhile, the Sword Qi shattered, but the clash of forces caused a titanic shockwave that spread through the air.

The people in the distance screamed in terror and turned to flee. But the shockwave was just too fast and reached them regardless of what they did. There was nowhere to run. All the spectators in the area were simply erased from existence; even people who took out their own divine weapons were unable to escape this fate.

Those who were viewing the “show” from far enough to avoid the shockwave were in utter disbelief. “Damn, even that distance wasn’t enough?!”

The area that the shockwave had passed through was now a large crater. Mountains had been not just crushed flat, but turned into pits. In fact, there had been two smaller sects in this area that no longer existed.

“LONG CHEN!!! DIIIIIEEEE!!!”

Seeing that Long Chen was still alive, Long Can roared with desperate fury and attacked once more.

Against such a terrifying attack, even Long Chen had no other solution. He gritted his teeth and prepared to block it again. He reminded himself to thank Li Qiaoyin for lending him the violet-gold polearm. Without it, even nine lives wouldn’t be enough to survive Long Can’s wild assault.

BOOM!

Another streak of Sword Qi struck the domain. Long Chen once more spat out blood.

“It’s faith energy!”

This time, Long Chen realized that the energy that was managing to pass through the violet-gold polearm’s defenses was law power formed from faith energy. Fortunately, although it managed to bypass the shield, by the time it reached Long Chen, it was weakened by over eighty percent.

Long Can unleashed thirteen blows, and every single one caused Long Chen to cough up blood. The final attack in particular caused cracks to appear all across his body, and he was covered in so much blood that nobody could tell his skin color anymore. Worst of all, it also caused his Three Thousand Worlds to disappear. His Supreme Blood was completely exhausted, and he could no longer maintain the Heaven-Earth law empowerment state.

“Long Chen, it looks like you’re still going to die by my hand today!”

Long Can raised her head and laughed crazily. She once more raised the Divine Commander Blade. Sharp Sword Qi locked onto Long Chen.

With his Supreme Blood exhausted, all Long Chen had was his violet blood, and he didn’t know how much law power his violet blood alone could endure. He had no confidence it would be able to block Long Can’s attack. But there was nothing he could do. His Earth Dao Violet Eyes appeared, and the violet-gold polearm prepared for the next attack.

At that instant, Long Can froze. Her already translucent body began to fade away. The flames extinguished.

“Damn… I… I failed… Divine Venerate, I’m sorry…” Long Can struggled to unleash one more blow, but her body and soul vanished like mist under the scorching sunlight. The Divine Commander Blade and the Brahma Divine Diagram disintegrated.

Long Can had died, just like that.

Another divine commander was dead at the hands of Long Chen.

…

Long Chen took a deep breath. The domain around him slowly dissipated.

Just as his tense nerves finally relaxed, a long and slender sword suddenly appeared out of empty space, piercing towards his back. He instinctively twisted his upper body and dodged, but he was still a bit too slow. A large gash opened across his back, deep enough that his spine and ribs were visible.

The attacker was a short, masked figure in black robes. This person's aura was incredibly powerful; although it couldn’t quite match up to Xie Lingyun’s and Luo Tianxiang’s, it was not much weaker. His sword was like a viper’s tongue about to strike. Ripples of light flowed across it, and strange law power flowed within. This was definitely a top-grade Divine Sovereign law item; something sharp enough to cut through Long Chen’s tough skin could not possibly be ordinary.

“Lifehunter bastards, you really don’t know when to stop!”

Long Chen’s killing intent surged. The Lifehunter race had always been the mortal enemy of the violet blood race, yet in the last while they’d been rather quiet. He had thought that they were done for, only for one of them to suddenly appear here. That attack had almost taken his life just now.

“It seems that I really did exhaust myself this time. Even my reactions and senses have weakened…”

Things were not going well for him. Although he had the violet-gold polearm, it only provided him with violet blood power. But these consecutive fights had drained him of every other kind of energy, and they had taken a toll on his mind as well. In his weary state, his perceptivity dropped, as did his reaction speed. Worse still, this fellow’s weapon, techniques, and even cultivation art were all highly specialized for the purpose of dealing with the violet blood race.

“Little brat, your death is at hand!” snorted the Lifehunter expert. His voice was ancient and icy. His sword quivered, and sword-light filled the sky like thousands of flowers blooming.

In response to this beautiful attack, Long Chen simply swung the violet-gold polearm behind him.

BOOM!

A large figure wielding a warhammer was sent flying. That giant was over ten meters tall, and had been going for a sneak attack just as the Lifehunter expert drew Long Chen’s attention.

After blowing back the giant, Long Chen spat out another mouthful of blood.

“Damn, I forgot that my body is at its limit!”

He had been badly injured by Long Can’s final suicidal attacks, and right now, he was really feeling it.

“Die!”

Just then, the surrounding space twisted, and multiple figures came flying out. They were all Divine Sovereigns, and quite a few of them had embryonic forms of a triple manifestation.

These people were all overlords in their own right. Each one was the master of a major sect, the patriarch of a major clan, or a similarly powerful figure, yet now, they were all attacking Long Chen like the most basic suicidal warriors. They looked intent on killing Long Chen even if it cost them their lives!

“Oh my, Lord Brahma, you really are putting in the capital in order to kill me!” Long Chen couldn’t help chuckling. “Unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint you this time as well.”

Long Chen waved his hand. Huo Linger, Lei Linger, and Cang Lu appeared. Lightning and flames formed a sea that unfurled throughout the battlefield. A massive forest rose. Golden Crows and Jade Rabbits came flying out. The entire world descended into chaos.

Millions of blood-colored petals flew through the air. With how exhausted Long Chen was, he no longer had the power to control Evilmoon even with just Spiritual Strength. Evilmoon could attack on its own, but right now, it wasn’t in a good condition to do so either. It had just absorbed the energy of the Mountain-River Diagram and the Yin-Yang Board, and that was enough energy to make it feel like bursting. It needed to refine the energy urgently.

Using the Blood Moon Heaven-Slashing Art once was its limit. If it continued fighting and its petals broke, it would cause some of its energy to disappear, and that would pain Evilmoon greatly.

Fortunately, Long Chen didn’t ask it to kill people, but to simply stall and cause them trouble. After all, Cang Lu, Huo Linger, and Lei Linger still found it taxing to fight experts on this level. Two or three would have not been a problem, but right now, there were two or three hundred of them. Stalling them was the best they could do. Meanwhile, Long Chen sat down in the middle of this chaos and consumed a medicinal pill to quickly recover his energy.

Just as he was starting to recover, a slender sword pierced through space, bypassing Cang Lu’s Bloodfiend Halberd to strike at Long Chen directly.

“Even with the violet-gold polearm, you will still die!” sneered the Lifehunter expert.

The sword was actually ripping apart the violet-gold polearm’s domain. At the same time, Long Chen sensed violet blood fluctuations from it. It was obvious that this sword had absorbed an unfathomable amount of the violet blood race’s experts’ blood and souls, resulting in the violet-gold polearm not having much of an effect on it.

Long Chen’s gaze turned cold, and his killing intent soared. This person was incredibly powerful, and also had immense combat experience. He was truly a tough opponent. Furthermore, Long Chen’s injuries were severe. With the violet-gold polearm suppressed, the situation did not bode well for him.

“Since you insist on courting death, fine! I’ll send you on a date!” Long Chen’s fury erupted. Even if he had to injure himself further, he would kill this hateful fellow.

But just then, the sound of a zither rang out. Zi Yan’s beautiful figure appeared in front of Long Chen.

The Heavenly Devil Zither floated in front of her. Zi Yan’s fingers hooked onto the strings. Her killing intent surged out like the tide.

“Heavenly Devil Music—Army Crusher!”

The sound of a zither rang out. The Lifehunter’s sword exploded into shards, and the sound blade that followed cut him in twain.

Zi Yan’s fingers swiftly danced over the zither strings, unleashing multiple waves. Blade-shaped sound runes appeared throughout the entire battlefield. When these runes appeared throughout the battlefield, everyone’s expressions changed. Their first thought was to flee.

However, Zi Yan suddenly slammed her hands on the Heavenly Devil Zither. The zither music instantly stopped, and all the runes throughout the entire battlefield detonated at once. Blood rained down from the sky as hundreds of people with the potential to become triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns were annihilated!

They did not even have time to scream. The only sound was the echo of the zither music, which didn’t fade for a long time.
