Chapter 6334 Run!
As the Death Gate fully opened, the other astral gates shuddered violently, their star diagrams igniting one after another.
If the original astral energy had been like a flowing river, then the opening of the seventh gate turned it into raging lava.
As a result, seven astral currents converged on Long Chen’s body, and unprecedented power built up within him—so much as though his body would burst.
Then, Long Chen raised his palm, and a blazing cross filled the sky.
This palm was unavoidable. It struck the heavens, it struck hell. Its berserk power seemed as if it would destroy the three worlds.
This was the strongest attack Long Chen had ever unleashed. The Death Gate’s opening amplified the other six gates, flooding him with energy that could not be contained. If he didn’t release it now, he would explode. The river had become an ocean, and he was passing that flood to Long Wu.
Moments ago, Long Wu had judged Long Chen’s astral energy weaker than his Sovereign flames. But even as he spoke that truth, a giant cross erupted before his eyes, its sheer pressure making his hair stand on end.
“Vile Dragon Heaven Holding Shield!” Long Wu shouted, slamming his hands together.
His Sovereign flames transformed into dragons that merged into a giant shield. This was one of the vile dragon race’s strongest defensive divine abilities. But before this cross, it was like glass before a hammer. The instant they collided, the shield shattered.
The cross barely paused before crashing straight toward Long Wu. His face twisted—his strongest defense had been torn apart as if it were nothing.
BOOM!
But all of a sudden, the giant cross exploded just before it reached Long Wu.
Long Chen saw a golden shield appear. Golden dragon runes flowed on it, looking like true dragons. The moment it manifested, Di Mengyao, Xue Tu, and Qing Yi’s souls quivered.
“That’s a divine weapon of our dragon race!” Xue Tu roared.
The sacred aura was undeniably theirs, but now it rested in the hands of the vile dragon race.
Long Chen instantly recalled the battlefield remains they had passed earlier. So it was this golden shield that had annihilated the strange lifeforms. Its defensive power was monstrous, capable of deflecting the attack that Long Wu couldn’t block effortlessly.
“Leave it to me! I’ll break it!” Evilmoon shouted, growing excited.
“No. That shield is a priceless treasure. I have to think of a way to take it back. You can’t destroy it,” Long Chen replied.
Staring at the dragon runes flowing within this shield, he directly rejected Evilmoon’s idea.
The next moment, star clouds appeared beneath Long Chen’s feet, and starlight converged on his fist, like cosmos was flowing within his hand. He appeared in front of the golden shield.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s fist solidly struck the golden shield. Golden ripples mixed with bits of starlight sliced through the air, splitting the ground and the battlefield in two.
Both fighters staggered back, grunting. Long Chen’s hand went numb, his chest aching from the backlash. Even he couldn’t fully disperse the counterforce.
Long Wu didn’t get off scot-free either. The seven gates’ power struck like a celestial hammer, rattling his wrist and nearly tearing the shield from his grip.
“How can he be this powerful?” Long Wu muttered, in disbelief.
This was a top-grade Divine Sovereign shield his ancestors had seized from the hands of the dragon race.
The vile dragons had poured their blood, sweat, and tears into sealing its item-spirit. This way, they could use the karmic luck they seized from the dragon race to activate the dragon runes on the golden shield.
This golden shield was Long Wu’s life-saving trump card. With it, Long Wu had slaughtered five peak experts, shattering their weapons and ending their lives.
But now, without even using a weapon, Long Chen had shaken it nearly from Long Wu’s grasp.
“I refuse to believe my fists can’t break your tortoise shell!” Long Chen roared, sounding obstinate.
He hammered both fists into the shield again and again.
Seeing that, Long Wu sneered inside. “Since you want to die so badly, then die!”
Inside, Long Wu sneered. Bleed yourself dry. The backlash will kill you faster than I ever could.
Explosions rang one after another as Long Chen’s fists slammed home. Every strike left his fists torn. Soon, his blood smeared the golden shield, making it look especially ghastly-looking on the golden surface.
After dozens of blows, Long Wu chose his moment. As Long Chen’s power waned, the shield erupted in golden light.
BOOM!
Long Chen spat out blood. Strange dragon runes scattered within it, but Long Wu didn’t notice. He only sneered.
“You’re spent, aren’t you? Now it’s my turn!”
Shifting the shield to his left hand, Long Wu drew a black serpentine spear with his right. Then, his dragon qi howled into the heavens.
This was the vile dragon race’s supreme treasure. The moment it appeared, a fierce flame filled the sky, covering the entire battlefield.
With a single step, Long Wu shot toward Long Chen. The spear pierced space itself, its tip wreathed in black flames like a venomous fang.
In response, Long Chen snorted. Blood-colored petals spiraled into his hand, condensing into a giant saber.
Long Chen simply swung this saber, but this seemingly casual attack caused the ten thousand Daos to scream.
BOOM!
As Evilmoon crashed into the black spear, qi waves detonated, devouring everything around them. Spatial blades sliced in every direction, shredding the battlefield and even forcing Di Mengyao and the others back.
Even though it was just the aftershock of their clash, it could easily crush nine-hundred-flame divine sprouts.
Di Mengyao and the others couldn’t help but feel shocked. Glancing over, they saw Long Chen raise Evilmoon, with astral energy converging within it.
It seemed like such a simple movement, but it made the world quake.
Then, his voice rang quietly in Di Mengyao’s ear:
“Run. Run as far as you can.”
