Chapter 7237 Split Up

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

“Summon the Progenitor’s Dao Body!”

“Get into the Heaven Slaughtering Formation!”

“Bring out the Dragon Slaying Ballista!”

The various forces all brought out their own trump cards. A titan that filled heaven and earth, a killing formation filled with different types of killing intent that shook the heavens, a golden ballista larger than a mountain, various powerful karmic luck divine items… Their arsenal was truly impressive.

This was an incredibly rare chance for them. Considering Long Chen’s reputation, he definitely wouldn’t go back on their deal. In that case, they could fight without fear. Even if they couldn’t seize the karmic luck dragon manifestation in the end, so what? They could still fight the outsider devils and temper their disciples. It was a win-win situation for them. In addition, if so many of them unleashed all their power, how could that mysterious man possibly block them all?

Brighteye’s voice echoed one more time, loud and clear for everyone to hear.

“Let me warn you that this person’s altar is a gateway to the outsiders’ world, and he’s using it to draw in power from that world. But he is using that power to bind the karmic luck dragon manifestation, and he’s in a very tight spot right now. He can’t use too much of it, or the nine heavens will sense it and the will of our Grand Dao will descend. But he also can’t use too little, or else the karmic luck dragon manifestation will escape his control and dissipate.

“That is why he and his underlings condensed the black lotus; it was all so that they could seize the karmic luck dragon manifestation. However, the fraction of the black lotus’s power that he got is insufficient to refine the karmic luck dragon manifestation. The only thing he can do is try to use more of their outsider Grand Dao’s power to forcibly absorb it. In other words, if you want to get the karmic luck, you must first destroy the altar. That is absolutely critical.”

Brighteye had a very calm expression, but her voice was clearly trembling a bit. That was one part excitement, but also one part nervousness.

Just now, Long Chen had called her his little sister, and that her words were his words. Being recognized as the sister of this legendary figure who stood at the peak of the human race was an immense honor. Who wouldn’t be emotional?

Furthermore, just now, she had used the power of her eyes to examine that altar more closely. Long Chen had smiled and nodded at her in encouragement. This reassured her that she was doing the right thing, so she had no fear speaking up in front of everyone.

The black-robed man was standing atop the altar, and everyone had been getting ready to attack him directly. Thankfully, Brighteye had intervened in time, and now, they all understood that if they wanted to kill him, the best thing for them to do was to first destroy the altar.

But just as they were rethinking their tactics, that loathsome voice rang out once more. “Don’t forget that they are competitors! Are you sure you can trust her?”

Just as before, on this chaotic battlefield, no one knew who was speaking. But while this person’s voice was hateful, there were still many people who felt that there was some merit to it. Although Long Chen said that they could choose whether to go first, who knew whether that was all part of his schemes? Furthermore, it wasn’t even Long Chen who had given them the warning about the altar. If they believed it and ended up ensnared in a trap, they wouldn’t even be able to blame Long Chen for it.

“That is right. It’s best to be careful. After all, what if we fight to the point that we’re both injured and then Long Chen swoops in to grab everything at the last moment?” responded someone immediately. This time, the voice was loud and clear, and the speaker did not bother to conceal himself. He was located among the ranks of the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect!

Another voice quickly followed up. “Long Chen, if you swear on your sect’s name, then we will trust you. Otherwise, don’t try to play games with us!”

Quite a few people spoke up in support, and with every new voice, Brighteye and the others’ expressions grew cold. Flames of fury burned in their eyes.

Brighteye was going to reply, but Long Chen raised a hand to stop her. She looked at him and then Miao Yin; seeing neither of them had any intention of replying, she held herself back.

Everyone on Long Chen’s side felt stifled. Just what kind of person was Long Chen? After kindly giving them a warning, they demanded that he swear an oath? That was intolerable.

“Split up! One group, kill that guy; one group, destroy that altar!”

Since some people believed Long Chen and some didn’t, the tactics became a bit messy, but they quickly came to a decision. The massive army of the nine heavens immediately split in two. They were like two massive dragons charging towards the altar and the black-robed man.

“What utter fools…” Brighteye clenched her teeth angrily. She knew that they had just made the most foolish choice possible.

“Lord Long Chen, please let me apologize on behalf of my sect…” Someone bowed to Long Chen with a shameful expression. He was part of Miao Yin’s troops.

Long Chen glanced at him, and then looked at the massive sea of people that had responded to his rallying call. Because of him, they had abandoned everything; they had even taken on the label of traitors just so that they could fight alongside him.

The thought made him sigh. “You do not need to apologize. Everyone’s fate is in their own hands, and every single person will reap what they have sown. But you… Because I called out to you, quite a few brothers and sisters died on this battlefield—”

“Lord Long Chen, we did this of our own free will! We have no regrets!” someone immediately shouted. The others echoed his sentiment. Being able to fight alongside a peerless heavenly genius like Long Chen against these hateful outsider devils was the greatest honor of their life.

Furthermore, those who had died had dragged thousands of outsider devils with them, and those who lived had stepped on ten thousand outsider devil corpses on their way out of the battlefield. Even if they had to leave their sects and clans, they would definitely be recorded in a glorious page of the human race’s history.

What is the point of cultivation? Is it just to live a longer, worthless life? Most definitely not. The meaning of life lies not in the length of the road, but in the heights it reaches.

“Thank you for your trust in me. I will not betray that trust. I cannot promise that all of you will live, but I can promise you that those who live will reach heights they could never have imagined,” said Long Chen solemnly.

Just as he said this, intense rumbling shook heaven and earth. Millions of rays of divine light filled the air like brilliant fireworks.

The battle on that side had truly begun. The major forces had unleashed their full might, and one attack after another rained down. There were magical arts, there were divine abilities, and there were divine weapons; there were even powerful formations. As these countless attacks layered on top of each other, their power was truly staggering; it seemed as if, once they were done, there would not be a single blade of grass left between heaven and earth. How could anyone or anything survive such cataclysmic power?

These wild attacks lasted for half an incense stick’s worth of time. But all of a sudden, the experts of the nine heavens felt a chill in their hearts and stopped all their attacks.

When the dust settled, they saw that the altar was completely intact. That black-robed man was also entirely unharmed and was staring at them contemptuously.

“How can this be?!”
