Chapter 1036
“Just his aura was able to break apart that flame hand… What kind of power is that?!”
Countless disciples were filled with shock . That flame hand was condensed from Que Xinyan’s core flame, and the sharp attacks of his core flame previously had been incredibly powerful .
Even Hua Shiyu, Hu Guishan, and the other rank five Celestials were shocked . They were extremely clear on the strength of that flame hand, and that made them even more shocked than the other disciples . That flame hand was condensed through a magical art combining his core energy and his Spirit Blood .
If Long Chen managed to break it by unleashing a full-strength attack, perhaps that would be understandable . But he hadn’t done anything . Just his aura had caused the large hand to explode .
The four-colored divine ring behind him began to revolve quicker . The faster it revolved, the stronger Long Chen’s aura grew .
In the end, the divine ring was circulating so fast that it appeared still . Long Chen’s aura had reached an exceedingly terrifying level . The most terrifying thing about it was the will within it .
That will was not targeted against anyone . It was a will to destroy the entire world .
The Elder Hall Master smiled slightly upon seeing this incomparably fierce and powerful appearance . He stealthily glanced at the sky . There was nothing up there, but his smile grew wider .
The Xuan Master was currently hidden in the sky . Seeing the four stars circulating within Long Chen’s eyes, his pupils shrank slightly .
“This is…”
“Yes, this is the aura possessed by cultivation techniques from before the immortal era . But in our current age, there’s no way to be sure . ” An ancient voice rang out in the Xuan Master’s ears .
“An age from before the immortal era… that really is inconceivable . After that tribulation, the Martial Heaven Continent was basically crippled, and its cultivation civilization was almost severed . Only a few smaller powers were lucky and managed to inherit a portion of the immortal era’s arts . And the majority were incomplete . What terrifying luck Long Chen must have to be able to come into contact with something on that level . It seems this little fellow is hiding quite a few secrets,” said the Xuan Master .
“For something on that level, even if it’s just an incomplete piece, or even just a decimal of a decimal, it would require great karmic luck to obtain . Otherwise, even if you obtained it, you would be implicated by that treasure and killed .
“This Long Chen was able to come into contact with a cultivation technique from before the immortal era, and he still hasn’t died . Most likely, ever since he obtained it, his life was never very happy . All his karmic luck was sucked away by the treasure . And the greater the treasure, the more bad luck he’ll have to suffer to pay the debt .
“Liu Cang investigated his past and found that his life took a sudden turn when he was fifteen years old . He should have obtained the treasure at that time . But a Qi Condensation brat can’t possibly possess so much karmic luck . So whatever he obtained, it was just an extremely, extremely small portion of the inheritance, or he’d have died,” sighed the voice .
“Then that’s regretful . I like this little fellow’s disposition . But his fate has already been entwined with the treasure he obtained . I can’t help him . Unless he can one day make up for his overdrafted karmic luck… then I could consider handing the Xuantian Dao Sect to him,” said the Xuan Master .
“That’s unrelated to me . I held the Xuan Master position for over eight thousand years, and you finally arrived . The burden’s yours now . As for who you pass the burden to, that’s your matter . But I feel like you should consider it more if you want to hand it to Long Chen . He’s not that dependable,” warned the ancient voice .
The Xuan Master laughed, “Master, you’re already withdrawn from your post, so you don’t need to worry about this . Since you’ve entrusted the Dao Sect to me, you can just peacefully go into seclusion . ”
“I pulled you out of seclusion just to warn you about that little fellow . The Reincarnation Mirror also said that he is a double-edged blade . A mistake will cause great harm to the Xuantian Dao Sect . So, I’m warning you, don’t even think about running into seclusion because you’re lazy . By the time we come out of seclusion, the Dao Sect’s doors will probably be permanently closed . ”
“Am I really that unreliable in your eyes?” The Xuan Master smiled bitterly .
“Youngsters aren’t as reliable as their elders,” was the reply .
“Fine, I’ll keep a close eye on things . Go into seclusion,” said the Xuan Master helplessly .
No one else heard the conversation between the Xuan Master and the patriarch . Everyone’s attention was focused on the martial stage .
Long Chen appeared like a devil from hell . He slowly walked toward a shocked Que Xinyan .
“Die!” Long Chen suddenly shot forward . Que Xinyan’s hair stood on end as he sensed a feeling of death . He was a true expert who had experienced life and death battles . Hence, his sense of danger was extremely sensitive .
He knew that the current Long Chen had the power to kill him . That shocked him . He had never imagined that someone who wasn’t even a Celestial would possess the power to kill him .
“Blood Spirit Blaze Shield!” Que Xinyan suddenly took out a blood-colored shield . Countless runes revolved around it, and it released endless life force .
“Que Xinyan is actually forced on the defensive! That Blood Spirit Blaze Shield is his strongest defensive art!” said Hua Shiyu .
Seeing Que Xinyan be forced onto the defensive, Hua Shiyu, Hu Guishan, and the others were all shocked . Was Long Chen truly so powerful?
BOOM! Long Chen’s saber slashed onto Que Xinyan’s shield .
“What?!”
What shocked everyone was that this random blow from Long Chen actually tore through Que Xinyan’s shield .
Que Xinyan was forced seven steps back, and with each step, the martial stage cracked . It was clear how powerful the force he was under was .
Seven steps blew him three hundred meters back . There were seven large spider-web cracks on the martial stage now .
“Split the Heavens 2!”
Que Xinyan had only just stabilized when Long Chen appeared in the air, his saber slashing down . A mile-long saber image filled with an unstoppable air caused everyone’s hearts to shake .
“As expected, it’s the Undefeatable Dao . Just his aura is able to steal away a person’s will to resist,” said an Elder . Previously, they had been suspicious, but this attack confirmed those suspicions .
“Those who walk that path crumble far too easily . Practically, no one is able to raise such disciples, and even if they do, they need Dao Protectors . But Long Chen doesn’t meet any of those requirements,” said another Elder .
Geniuses who chose the Undefeatable Dao were all peerless heavenly geniuses . By maintaining a perfect record of never being defeated in the same realm, they cultured an undefeatable Dao-heart .
But it was too difficult to maintain a perfect record . Just one loss was enough to cause their Dao-heart to crumble . They would be afflicted by a heart-devil and would essentially be crippled .
There were few geniuses who chose that path, and their sects found it extremely difficult to raise them .
As a result, it was almost impossible to find a disciple who chose to cultivate the Undefeatable Dao . And such people needed Dao Protectors by their side to prevent enemies from sneak-attacking them while they were still too weak . If they encountered others in the same realm who they weren’t assured of defeating, the Dao Protectors would prevent a battle from occurring .
But Long Chen couldn’t possibly meet such conditions . A disciple with no background couldn’t possibly walk the Undefeatable Dao . But this undefeatable will unleashed by Long Chen’s attack was undoubtable . Even the disciples felt a great deal of pressure .
“Blood Spirit Ten Thousand Beast Shield!”
Seeing Long Chen’s saber slashing at him as quick as lightning, Que Xinyan roared and clapped his hands together . A supreme shield formed before him .
This shield had countless designs of beasts carved into it . It was like it was alive, and bestial roars came from it . Just looking at this shield gave people an urge to give up on fighting Que Xinyan . For them to attack this shield would be like an ant trying to shake a tree .
This was Que Xinyan’s greatest defensive skill . Even Hua Shiyu hadn’t known about it, as Que Xinyan had been hoping to crush Long Chen while holding back as much as possible . That was because in his eyes, Long Chen wasn’t worth anything . His opponents were his fellow heavenly geniuses like Hua Shiyu and Hu Guishan, and his trump cards were supposed to be used to deal with them . But now, he couldn’t hold back anymore .
BOOM!
The blood-colored saber slashed into his huge shield, releasing surging qi waves . The saber-image and shield exploded at the same time . Countless runes filled the martial stage . Eventually they faded, revealing the two of them . Countless people couldn’t help letting out cold gasps .
