“Enemy attack!”
An alarm rang out just as terrifying flames erupted. The violet flame explosion instantly pulverized countless buildings, and every living being within range of the blast was turned to ashes. Other than some old monsters in hidden training rooms, everyone else was killed.
Five wretched figures flew out of the rubble—five half-step Heavenly Sovereigns. Yet they didn’t even have time to understand what was going on before the Bloodfiend Halberd sliced through the sky, killing all five of them in one blow.
“Hehe, Cang Lu really did profit from that battle!”
Cang Lu had brought him a nice surprise. An average half-step Heavenly Sovereign was now powerless in front of him. Furthermore, this was without him summoning his throne. It could be said that Cang Lu was now the strongest beneath the Heavenly Sovereign level.
With his new Bloodfiend Throne, Long Chen believed that Cang Lu would definitely recover to his peak. Even though Long Chen had split the karmic luck dragon manifestation with everyone, it could be said that he had still profited the most from the battle in the North Sea Silver Fox race. With such a terrifying trump card, if he actually lusted over that karmic luck as well, Long Chen would have even looked down on himself.
Long Chen extended his hand, breaking the barrier and seizing the karmic luck divine pool. When he finished, he closed his eyes and spread his senses. As expected, he could feel Evilmoon’s split blades.
With a single step, Long Chen vanished and reappeared on another ruined battlefield. The blood was still fresh, but the people had already left.
“Haha, Miao Yin is quite fierce!”
He had only just finished up with the second stronghold when Miao Yin finished with one of hers. And this was with Long Chen basically teleporting while Miao Yin had to travel normally!
Long Chen gazed across the battlefield, and within just a few moments, he had a good idea of what had happened. “It seems that this stronghold had one of Miao Yin’s people inside. They set up a long distance transportation formation and caught the Cult of Mara off-guard.”
With another palm, Long Chen shattered the barrier and absorbed the karmic luck divine pool. He took a deep breath and adjusted his condition. He locked onto his next target, and once more disappeared.
This was the terrifying aspect of divine mastery of the Star Cloud Steps. Normally, this level of mastery was something only Divine Sovereigns had a tiny chance at reaching. However, Long Chen was backed by his Heaven-Earth power. Within the entire nine star line, he was likely the only one who had reached divine mastery of the Star Cloud Steps at this realm.
Long Chen, Miao Yin, and Zi Yan were quickly destroying all the Cult of Mara’s strongholds. This information shook the Sovereign Emperor Heaven like a bolt of lightning out of the clear blue sky. After all, not all of these strongholds were hidden in some remote wilderness; some were even close to flourishing cities. The disturbance couldn’t possibly be hidden.
No one had expected the untouchable Cult of Mara to actually be attacked in such a manner. Furthermore, the attacks were vicious and didn’t leave a single survivor. The major forces were all shocked by this.
There were many forces that were unaware of who the attackers were. After all, the Sovereign Emperor Heaven was an enormous place, and news of what happened in the North Sea Silver Fox race hadn’t reached them yet. Some hadn’t participated in that entire affair either because they felt themselves to be too weak or because they didn’t like fighting. In that case, low-key growth was definitely the right option.
At any rate, Long Chen’s attack this time had come so quickly that news of the North Sea Silver Fox race’s destruction had yet to fully spread before news of the Cult of Mara’s strongholds being destroyed spread. People hastily investigated what was going on.
“A karmic luck challenge? What’s that?”
“It was initiated by Long Chen?!”
“Why the hell are we still killing each other at such a critical time?! We’re all supposed to be on the side of the nine heavens!”
“What happened? The High Firmament Academy really decided to destroy the Cult of Mara because one person said something provoking?”
“But the Cult of Mara is an overlord. Even though their reputation is garbage, their power is still at that level. If these two titans clash, it will definitely lead to losses on both sides.”
As people investigated, they soon learned about what had happened in the North Sea Silver Fox race. They heard that the Cult of Mara’s Assassin Hall had intentionally provoked Long Chen, and in the end, after Long Chen dealt with the outsider devils, he declared war on the Cult of Mara. This information made people’s heads buzz.
Although rumors were that Long Chen feared nothing and had climbed all the way to his level through slaughtering all his enemies, the Cult of Mara was among the ancient overlords. Long Chen had actually initiated a karmic luck challenge against them? That was far too rash. The moment two powerful factions were dragged into a prolonged war, the lockdown of karmic luck would reduce their power drastically. In such a turbulent time, he had initiated such a challenge? That was not the decision a single dean should make.
“The Cult of Mara is an evil organization. They should have been eliminated a long time ago. As long as the High Firmament Academy can seize an advantage over them, they should be able to unite the people against them. Then the Cult of Mara will definitely be destroyed!”
There were differing opinions on this matter—some believed that Long Chen had been rash and this was not the right time for infighting, but some fully supported him. That was because many forces loathed the Cult of Mara but were powerless to deal with them. So long as the High Firmament Academy seemed to be prevailing, many people would flock to their side to destroy this evil organization.
“Heavens, another report! The Cult of Mara has now lost a fourth stronghold!”
“Your information is outdated. I just got word that six of their strongholds have been destroyed.”
“Heavens, so fast!”
“You are as slow as snails. The newest report is that eleven of their strongholds have been destroyed. Apparently three groups are attacking at once.”
“There’s more! The destroyed strongholds had their karmic luck divine springs locked down, but someone actually shattered the lock and stole their karmic luck!”
“Heavens, who could do such a thing?! Aren’t they worried about the karma from breaking a seal made by the Heavenly Daos?!”
“I wonder who’s doing it? Maybe someone deliberately instigated a war between them just to profit from it…”
Countless rumors were flying, some true and many false. Wild speculation spread. But before they understood what was going on, they didn’t even have the guts to go investigate themselves. In a clash between two behemoths, staying as far away as possible was the safe choice. Otherwise, just the blood splattering around might be enough to drown their sects.
…
Just as Long Chen was destroying another stronghold of the Cult of Mara, a terrifying aura rose from down below.
Oh? There was actually an expert hidden here!
Long Chen was surprised, but the World Extermination Flame Lotus in his hand still fell.
