Chapter 6229 Gate of Heavenly Night
Chapter 6229 Gate of Heavenly Night
The void exploded, scattering starlight across the sky. Within that dazzling radiance, five gates appeared—and from them, Long Chen emerged.
Lightning and flame runes coiled around his arm, forming into two small dragons—Lei Linger and Huo Linger.
To hold back all the charging experts, they had burned through everything they had. Their once-vibrant lightning and flames now flickered faintly.
Huo Linger’s strength had always been slightly greater, but Lei Linger had recently absorbed Lei Qianlang’s divine abilities, blood soul, and Sovereign flames. Now, the two were evenly matched.
“It’s been hard on you. Take a good rest now. Leave the rest to me,” Long Chen said, looking at these two weary little fellows apologetically.
They had only just matured, yet had spent all their power in a single battle. Even so, holding off a crowd of top-tier experts for half an incense stick’s time was a shocking accomplishment.
After all, everyone here was an expert amongst experts. Some of them had even condensed five hundred Sovereign flames.
After Lei Linger and Huo Linger had returned to the primal chaos space, Long Chen clasped his hands behind his back and turned his gaze toward the roiling flame sea below.
From its depths, black qi surged upward. Long Biluo rose, her aura cold and oppressive.
“You useless trash! I bought you time, and you still failed!” she snapped.
Blood dripped out of her mouth, and her expression was frighteningly dark.
The gathered experts grimaced but said nothing. After all, she was right—they had failed to even overcome Long Chen’s lightning and flame spirits.
“Long Chen, if you think this is over, you’re a fool,” she declared.
Long Chen remained silent, his gaze locked on hers.
“Did you really believe your current advantage means you’re stronger than me? Naive! From start to finish, I’ve only used my bloodline power—never my Sovereign flames!”
“What...?!”
The crowd stirred in shock. Only now did they realize she had been holding back.
“A curse? You thought that could bind me? All this was just a ploy to buy time!” shouted Long Biluo.
All of a sudden, Long Biluo’s Sovereign flames blazed with power. Then, a heavy and majestic aura erupted, causing a flame pillar to soar into the heavens. Its sheer weight made the flame sea sink, its waves crashing outward like a tsunami.
“Heavens, this is her true power?! It’s even more terrifying than before!” “But why only do this after being beaten so badly? Was that slap not painful?” “Don’t bring it up! That petty girl will kill you!” hushed someone.
Long Biluo was clearly not so magnanimous. She was very prideful, so anyone who dared to bring up the slap in front of her would probably end up dead. In fact, perhaps she would just silence them all forever. If it weren’t for this battle being far too attractive, these people would have long since fled.
“I’ve already refined all the curse energy. Now, the real battle begins. Long Chen, just wait to feel my wrath!” Long Biluo shouted, each word dripping with bloodthirst.
Her earlier carelessness had cost her dearly, one misstep sending her tumbling into disgrace. Slapped across the face by Long Chen, unable to fight him head-on, and forced to rely on some ants to distract him—it was all humiliating. Ever since awakening her bloodline and mastering her cultivation technique, she had never suffered such shame. Today, she would wash that stain away with his blood.
“To be able to suppress the Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird’s will so quickly and refine the curse, that’s impressive,” Long Chen said coldly. “But don’t fool yourself. It doesn’t mean you can beat me. You’re just bragging. Or... did that slap not hurt?”
The moment Long Chen brought it up, Long Biluo’s Sovereign flames emitted blinding divine light. Her aura once more erupted to a new level.
A ripple spread from Long Biluo, and she charged at Long Chen with a monstrous expression.
“I’ll tear you into a million pieces!”
Her fingers curled like claws, divine light dancing at her fingertips. She had actually condensed the power of her Sovereign flames on them.
Then, five black lines ripped through the void with an ear-splitting screech.
In response, Long Chen gathered astral energy around his fist, which looked like a miniature cosmos.
“We’ll see if you have that ability!” Long Chen snorted, unleashing a punch.
BOOM!
A massive black hole burst into existence. Long Chen was driven back, step after step, his form growing blurry.
Through the distortion, a black shadow streaked toward him like lightning.
“What speed! We can’t even track her with our eyes or senses!” someone gasped.
Long Chen retreated nine steps, switching direction every time. But Long Biluo continuously followed him, attacking with her claws without stopping.
BOOM!
On the ninth step, Long Chen suddenly shouted and unleashed both fists at once. Two starry rivers surged forward, crashing into her. The barrage of claw strikes broke apart, but the counterforce sent Long Chen flying.
When they saw him again, his arms were covered in gashes, blood pouring freely. On the deeper wounds, white bone gleamed beneath the torn flesh.
“Without mastering the Astral Hegemon Body, you can’t possibly block my Jiuli race’s Shadow Heaven Splitting Claw! This technique has been passed down all the way from the primal chaos era. Today, I will definitely rip you to shreds!” Long Biluo declared.
Black runes swirled in Long Biluo’s eyes. She looked like a falcon of the night—swift, savage, and thirsting for blood.
“Ignite my Jiuli Divine Blood! Ignite the light of night! Under my name, I summon my manifestation—Gate of Heavenly Night! Open!”
As Long Biluo formed a series of hand seals, her Sovereign flames blazed within the darkness. They then converged into a giant gate within the darkness.
The flames solidified into nails, binding the structure together.
With a slow, ominous creak, the gate swung open, and dark energy that could destroy the ten thousand Daos gushed out.
