"That was close."
Long Chen brushed the debris off his clothes, carefully checked his clothes, and found no new damage. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that Long Chen was only concerned about his tattered clothes and showed no signs of injury, everyone was both surprised and amused.
Meanwhile, Chu Huairen's expression gradually changed. Chu Kuang's earlier strike hadn't held back, but Long Chen's weapon shattered, and he was completely unharmed.
In other words, Chu Kuang's strike hadn't even shattered Long Chen's protective energy; otherwise, his clothes would have definitely shattered to ashes.
At that moment, the confidence in Chu Huairen's eyes gradually faded, and a sense of unease rose from deep within him, and that feeling grew stronger and stronger.
Long Chen brushed the dust off his clothes, then looked at Chu Kuang leisurely and said, "For the sake of my clothes, it seems I can't keep a low profile any longer. Let me remind you first: next, I'm going to go all out. A few moves might decide the winner. If you have any special moves, think carefully and use them quickly, or you'll get killed. Don't complain to the King of Hell saying I didn't give you a chance." Hearing
Long Chen's words, the experts outside erupted in an uproar. What was going on? Long Chen was actually hiding something. They've already fought this far, yet they still haven't gone all out. Are they even human?
"Nonsense, shameless boasting, even at the brink of death, still pretending to be tough. Today, I'll behead you in front of everyone."
Chu Kuang sneered, moving like a bolt of lightning, charging at Long Chen again without any flashy moves. His bloodline power locked onto Long Chen, and all his strength circulated, concentrating into the long blade in his hand. With a single strike, the void trembled violently.
Seeing Chu Kuang charging at Long Chen, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and everyone who cared about Long Chen tightened their grip. Long Chen didn't even have weapons—how could he resist?
They all hoped Long Chen would suddenly summon a divine weapon, hoping there might still be a glimmer of hope. But they didn't see Long Chen summon any weapon; instead, he reached out and rolled up his sleeve.
"What is he doing... Everyone in the room was stunned.
Long Chen rolled up his sleeves and looked at Chu Kuang charging toward him. His body arched slightly, like a hunting demon leopard, his gaze instantly sharp as a blade.
Long Chen formed hand seals and shouted, "The power of heaven and earth, the firmament draws the stars." "
Buzz"
Suddenly, within the divine ring behind Long Chen, starrivers appeared, overlapping to form a star map.
As soon as the star map appeared, a pillar of light shot up from Long Chen into the sky, piercing the clouds, and an aura above the firmament erupted.
"Boom!"
The beam of light actually pierced through the grand formation covering the battlefield. People could see the beam piercing straight from the formation into the heavens.
Immediately after, from the ninth heaven, a terrifying force descended, heading straight for Long Chen.
"Buzz!"
On the star map behind Long Chen, the stars were originally dim, but when the power from the nine heavens descended, those stars instantly lit up.
"Boom!"
The beam of light shattered, transforming into a sky full of runes, like stars bursting forth, illuminating the world, and billions of fireflies dancing—both real and illusory.
"It's the academy's forbidden technique, the Galaxy Sky Technique!"
A powerful figure exclaimed, recognizing the technique Long Chen was using—the Galaxy Sky Technique. The younger generation might not know it, but almost everyone among the older generation of experts was aware of it.
Because the Galaxy Sky Technique once caused countless prodigies to die suddenly, causing a sensation, it was later classified as a forbidden technique by the academy, and without approval from a head-level expert, no one was allowed to read it.
Because his cultivation method was so bizarre and domineering, he was notorious for his fear. Even the older generation of experts feared him, so when Long Chen summoned the Star Map, those older experts immediately recognized him.
Recognizing him immediately caused a huge sensation. Long Chen's previous use of the Seven Absolute Profound Yang Technique was already astonishing.
Now, he had summoned the Star River Map again, and the two techniques had merged into one. Everyone present was shocked.
"Forcibly fusing two completely different cultivation methods to form a new technique?" This ... How is this possible? The
elder generation of experts present were practically losing their minds. This was completely unreasonable; such behavior was breaking the iron rules of cultivation.
The divine ring behind Long Chen spun, stars twinkled, and endless star power poured into his body. He could even sense that countless stars above the heavens seemed to be watching him.
Although Long Chen still didn't dare absorb their power, the subtle connection between the two seemed to give him endless inspiration.
That mysterious expert had said that to draw upon the power of the stars across the heavens, one must activate the seventh star; otherwise, it would be tantamount to suicide.
However, the last time he failed to activate the power of the stars and nearly died, he gained some insights. He could sense the positions of the stars in the heavens, as if each star within his body corresponded to a star above the heavens, a mysterious and infinite mystery.
In the Immortal Realm, Long Chen used his star power with full force for the first time. For a moment, he was immersed in that wondrous sensation, almost forgetting he was still engaged in fierce battle.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Chu Kuang's blade slashed down from midair, and without thinking, Long Chen's fist was covered in scales as he smashed it down.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, auspicious clouds surged and runes surged, as if the sun had been shattered by a single punch. Chu Kuang spat blood from the mouth and was struck by the punch, rolling out.
"What?"
Chu Huairen was shocked and immediately stood up from his seat, his face full of shock and anger.
"Catch a spiritual artifact with bare hands?"
Everyone was shocked. Long Chen's flesh and blood body could actually resist a spiritual artifact, and a bloodline inheritance artifact at that. Could he be the body of a magical beast?
"Boom boom boom... Chu
Kuang's body was blasted away. The mountains behind him were smashed one after another, each shattering and sending out vast ripples. The sight was dazzling.
"Operating the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique in the Immortal Realm is like a fish in water. In the Immortal Realm, only then can the power of the technique be fully unleashed."
Long Chen punched Chu Kuang flying, feeling the power of the stars circulating within him. The endless power of heaven and earth surged toward him, as if at that moment, he was the ruler of the world. The feeling of ruling the world and supreme authority was something Long Chen had never experienced before.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen took a step forward, already a hundred li away. After three consecutive steps, he was already in front of Chu Kuang, descending into the air and kicking Chu Kuang with a single kick.
"So fast!"
People exclaimed. Long Chen crossed hundreds of miles in three steps, moving as if teleporting in an instant—so fast that no one could even catch him.
Chu Kuang had just emerged from the soil when Long Chen stomped down. A thunderous explosion sounded as the earth collapsed, waves of earth swept in all directions, and the earth was kicked outA huge pit.
In the face of Long Chen's power, the solid battlefield seemed like a millstone laid out of flour. With one strike, dust and sand swirled, sweeping across the sky.
"Crack, crack, crack... Chu
Kuang was stepped on by Long Chen's foot, causing the earth to sink. The pit rapidly expanded, growing larger and deeper, and the sound of the earth cracking was so intense it sent chills down one's spine.
Chu Kuang gripped his long blade, desperately resisting, but on the blade, it felt as if a world was pressing down, making it impossible for him to shake Long Chen no matter how hard he tried. He felt as if he was about to be crushed under his feet.
"You bastard, go to hell!"
Chu Kuang's face suddenly twisted with rage. The four orbs of light behind him swirled, and in that instant, endless divine power erupted.
