Chapter 7075 Fighting Separately

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Long Chen had the violet-gold polearm, which gave him practically limitless violet bloodline energy, but recovering his astral energy still took time. He couldn’t instantly move through space with the Star Cloud Steps. Thus, on the return trip to the divine capital, it was Zi Yan carrying Long Chen. Although she was not as fast as the Star Cloud Steps, she had the Heavenly Devil Zither.

The zither’s music created a channel that propagated through heaven and earth. Yet even though it was part of heaven and earth, the spatial laws within were different from the spatial laws outside. One step inside the channel was equivalent to a hundred steps outside. However fast they moved inside, they covered a hundred times the distance outside.

In just half an incense stick’s worth of time, Zi Yan and Long Chen arrived at the divine capital.

The divine capital’s grand formation was at full power. Countless experts were swarming the barrier. They were like a cataclysmic tsunami falling down upon it. Yet to Long Chen’s surprise, the grand formation was not just functional; its barrier was like a massive steel wall. No one was able to even get close to the divine capital.

More importantly, there was a giant defensive line outside that was blocking all these enemies from even reaching the barrier.

Zi Yan and Long Chen stopped in the sky and watched. They saw many familiar faces. Zi Nuo, Yu Lan, Li Chenggang, Xin Yu, Yan Li, Chi Yutong, Shen Qingxue… Every single one of them was like an iron pillar holding down the defensive line. No matter how their enemies attacked, they did not take a single step back.

The Wine God Palace, the Tea Saint Dao Temple, the Calligraphy Sect, the Spirit Heart Sect, the Flame God Sect, and the Violet Abyss had all come to help. In addition, there were quite a few experts wearing masks and battle armor with special runes carved onto it. These were the Huayun Trading Company’s caravan guards.

The runes of their battle armor made it compatible with the law power of the new era. In other words, these millions of warriors had battle armor capable of containing and unleashing the new era’s law power. Basically, every single one of them was wearing a top-grade Divine Sovereign law item! With this kind of armor, even an ordinary person’s power would instantly soar.

Long Chen was finally bearing witness to the Huayun Trading Company’s deep foundation. As expected of the greatest trading company in the nine heavens and ten lands, they had more money than they could possibly spend.

Based on what he could tell, this grand battle had only just started. After all, this attack was a hodgepodge of different people. The forces attacking the divine capital were all harboring their own selfish intentions, and even if there was someone leading them, they weren’t doing a particularly great job. Of course, in truth, the same could be said for the divine capital’s side. However, they knew they wouldn’t synchronize that well if they were to attempt large-scale battle formations, so each participating force had instead taken charge of a section of the defensive line. This way, they could fully display their power.

Long Chen did a scan over the battlefield. Seeing the messy attackers, he relaxed.

Zi Yan held Long Chen’s arm and smiled. “It seems that they would have been fine even if we didn’t come!”

She was using the Heavenly Devil Zither to block them from other people’s senses. No one could see them or even sense their existence.

Long Chen smiled and nodded. He took out seats and sat down together with Zi Yan, watching the fight.

“Not even people from the same force are fighting together. The big players are viewing this attack as a trial by fire for their members. It seems that they have limited resources and they can’t raise such a massive army, so they decided to cull some of the weaklings.”

The major forces had spent the majority of their resources on their disciples before the new era came. Now that the new era was here, they had to use those disciples to recoup their losses and gain as much as they could. They would end up sacrificing large numbers of people, but that was not a major problem. After all, those people were fated to be eliminated sooner or later. As long as their sacrifices had value, it was enough.

Even though Long Chen was still exhausted and his senses were not at their sharpest, he sensed the auras of many people lying in hiding outside the battlefield. In other words, this battle was dominated by the cannon fodder that the enemy was sacrificing in order to exhaust the divine capital’s power. The true force were those in hiding; those were the real elites, and they would start the real attack.

“Evilmoon, aren’t you going to…” Long Chen called out to Evilmoon when he realized that Evilmoon had already gone back into seclusion. This time, it hadn’t even said a word to him beforehand.

Obviously, it had absorbed an enormous amount of energy from the battle in the Jiuli Divine Realm, and needed to properly digest it. It had gotten the energy of the Mountain-River Diagram and the Yin-Yang Board, in addition to the blood soul energy of hundreds of half-step triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns. It had profited immensely from this battle, to the extent that it could be selective and toss away the flesh and blood that it didn’t want to be consumed by the primal chaos space’s soil.

Moreover, Long Chen had the violet-gold polearm, as well as Zi Yan by his side. In addition, his father was in control of the Jiuli Tower. He clearly didn’t need it right now, so Evilmoon directly entered seclusion.

Long Chen waved his hand. Three thousand blood-colored petals silently flew out and spread throughout the battlefield. This was the only weapon Evilmoon had left him, and that was after draining the petals’ energy. With that, the petals were not just a weapon for Long Chen, but also a blood soul energy pipeline for Evilmoon.

While the ones fighting right now were just cannon fodder, there was a great deal of them. It would be a shame to waste them.

Zi Yan, however, had other plans. She saw the weariness in Long Chen’s eyes, and she did not wish for him to take action now.

“Long Chen, let me play you a song. You should sleep for now. As long as I am here, nothing bad can happen!”

She didn’t wait for him to respond. She flicked her finger lightly, and the Heavenly Devil Zither vibrated in response.

Long Chen instantly felt like his eyelids were unbearably heavy. He slowly fell into Zi Yan’s embrace.

Zi Yan continued to flick her fingers gently. The sound of zither music was like the whisper of an autumn breeze. Long Chen’s tight body slowly relaxed, and it wasn’t long before he fell into a deep slumber.

“My dear husband, you’re too tired. But now I finally have the ability to help you carry your burden.”

Zi Yan’s hand brushed against Long Chen’s cheekbones. Her gaze was so warm it felt as if it could melt ice.

Even knowing that Long Chen was fast asleep, calling him her husband still made her blush. But it also felt incredibly sweet.

“Eh?” Suddenly, Zi Yan sensed something. She looked to the side, and she saw something surprising.

There were hundreds of thousands of the Zither Sect’s disciples hidden in space outside the battlefield. In particular, there was one woman whose expression was calm, but whose tremendous anxiety could not escape Zi Yan’s keen senses.

This woman was Liao Yuhuang, and indeed, her heart was in turmoil.

This feeling… It’s her. She came. Then shouldn’t Long Chen be here as well? But if Long Chen came, doesn’t that mean…

Liao Yuhuang sighed deeply in her heart.

Is this the Zither Sect’s destiny?
