Chapter 6118 Extensive Business
Two masked Sovereign Lords had descended at the same time, but the devil creatures weren’t attacking them—clearly, these two were the ones controlling them.
Just the army of devil creatures was enough to plunge everyone into despair. With the addition of two third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords, all hope of resistance vanished.
Even Su Yu felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords were existences beyond her comprehension. Under their spatial domain, everyone else was but an ant.
“Activate all the formation eyes!” Li Dongcheng ordered.
His subordinates directly increased the barrier’s power to its max. It was said that, at full power, even third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords would find it difficult to enter.
But whether that was true or not—no one had ever tested it before.
The cost of this activation was terrible. Spirit stones meant to last five days would now be consumed in just a few hours. But they had no choice. If they didn’t strengthen the barrier, just one casual attack from either of the masked Sovereign Lords could shatter it.
“Ants should quietly await death. Your futile struggles only add to your pain and misery,” said the masked woman coldly.
Although she had changed her voice, Long Chen was sure she was from the Zither Sect.
All experts of the Zither Sect were skilled in music. They were renowned for their mastery of rhythm and resonance, even in their speech.
Now he was certain: these two were from the Zither Sect.
With the formation at full power, countless runes surged on top of it. The city trembled beneath the strain. But instead of feeling reassured, the people inside were struck with even deeper dread.
At most, in a few hours, the barrier would run out of energy. They knew that when the barrier fell, their lives would end with it. The two masked experts didn’t even need to do anything.
“Senior Long Chen…”
Su Yu quietly transmitted, her heart trembling as she looked at his calm expression. That calmness sparked the tiniest ember of hope.
“I’ll go deal with those two old fogeys. City lord, help me change the formation’s state,” said Long Chen.
“If you leave, you won’t be able to come back!” Li Dongcheng warned.
Sure, their odds of surviving were slim, but delaying death even a little was still better than nothing. Perhaps their headquarters were sending reinforcements at this very moment.
And altering the barrier’s state would temporarily create an opening. If the enemy attacked just then, the consequences could be disastrous.
“City lord, please trust him!” said Su Yu.
Seeing Su Yu speak up for him so resolutely, Li Dongcheng gritted his teeth and nodded. The barrier quivered—some of its runes turned illusory.
Long Chen directly stepped out of the barrier, entering the domain around the two Sovereign Lords.
They were immediately surprised. A Human Emperor had entered their domain without collapsing under the pressure? How could it be?
If it were anyone else, they’d already be on their knees from the crushing spatial force. But Long Chen looked completely at ease, triggering a faint sense of alarm in them.
“You aren’t from the Four Cardinal Alliance, right? Who are you?” demanded the masked woman.
According to their intel, the Four Cardinal Alliance didn’t have anyone like him among their top geniuses.
Even a powerful sect like the Zither Sect had long set its sights on the Four Cardinal Alliance’s geniuses, employing every possible method to lure them away. Yet, dozens of their astonishingly talented geniuses remained unmoved, loyal to the Alliance to the bitter end. Su Yu was one of them.
Had Su Yu come out of the barrier, they would’ve been surprised—but not this shocked.
Yet, instead of Su Yu, this smug-looking fellow with an evil grin plastered across his face showed up.
“You ask my name? Make sure not to fall when you hear it. Try not to piss yourselves when you learn that I’m none other than… Boss Mo!” Long Chen exclaimed as he tilted his head back and looked down on the masked woman.
She almost lashed out on the spot. In all her life, she had never met someone this brazen.
Long Chen calmly cleared his throat and placed his right hand over his chest in a familiar gesture.
He then proclaimed, “The limitless palace in front of the limitless mountain… The limitless pine before the limitless gate… The dreams of heavenly geniuses vanish without a trace as soon as they encounter Mo Nian!”
“You bastard—it’s you!”
Instantly, two surges of killing intent locked onto Long Chen. The masked pair looked like they had just laid eyes on their parents’ murderer.
The masked woman shouted, “You goddamn ingrate, You snuck into the sacred resting grounds of our ancestors and desecrated their graves! You… Fucking DIE!!”
Her fury turned tangible. Killing intent boiled from her body as space twisted around Long Chen.
I didn’t know Mo Nian’s business was so… extensive?
Long Chen was surprised. Mo Nian had even robbed the Zither Sect’s ancestral tombs? Just what the hell was he looking for?
Feigning panic, Long Chen froze in place as the woman reached out, her fingers curling tightly around his neck. It was clear she wasn’t aiming to kill—she wanted to capture him alive.
Suddenly, starlight exploded from Long Chen’s body, and the spatial suppression instantly collapsed. His palm then slapped her squarely across the face.
CRACK!
Her mask shattered into pieces.
Beneath it was a woman in her thirties, her face twisted with fury and panic. The instant her identity was exposed, fear flickered across her eyes—clearly, she hadn’t intended for anyone to see her face.
The Zither Sect’s cultivation relied heavily on the heart’s resonance. Altering their appearance interfered with that resonance, so they used masks to hide their identities instead.
“Tch. What a nasty face to go with such a sinister heart,” Long Chen sneered. “Don’t worry, I’ve got your mug on a photographic jade. The whole world will see the Zither Sect’s true colors now. Let’s see how long you can keep pretending to be saints.”
Ever since Long Chen had met Prince Chunyang, he’d felt something fake beneath the Zither Sect’s polished surface. Now, their actions only confirmed it.
“You damned brat! You think you’ll walk out of here alive?! I’ll bury you all!” she screamed.
Three Sovereign bodies burst into existence behind her, shaking the barrier below.
“Kill me?” Long Chen chuckled. “From where I’m standing… it looks like you’re the one in trouble.”
“Die!”
She lunged forward, closing the distance in a blink.
However, Long Chen was already prepared. As stars flared around him, his eight-colored divine ring bloomed into existence.
“Gate of Life—Open!”
As his aura surged, he unleashed a punch.
“One star, Star Fall!”
BOOM!
The impact was apocalyptic. Starlight burst like an exploding sun, and the woman spat blood as she was sent hurtling back.
The earth split open beneath her. Mountains crumbled, rivers were torn apart, and dust surged into the sky like a tidal wave. She crashed through everything in her path until she vanished over the horizon.
Countless devil creatures were obliterated in the blast.
