"We haven’t fought to the last moment yet. It’s far too early to say such things!" Long Chen declared in a low growl.
Immediately after, his battle qi erupted completely! He directly activated the Secret Technique of Gods and Demons, making his Dragon Blood boil! His eyes turned blood red as an intense, chilling killing intent enveloped him.
His aura climbed rapidly, crossing an entire Great Realm from the First Layer of the War Sect Realm to the First Layer of the War King Realm.
But Long Chen’s combat power didn’t stop increasing there. The Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula was also activated. His combat power ascended another four layers, reaching the Fifth Layer of the War King Realm! If he were to use the Fourth Stage Coiling Dragon Seal, his combat power would be comparable to the Ninth Level of the War King Realm!
Sensing how rapidly Long Chen’s aura was strengthening, Liu Yukun’s expression changed slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. He stared intently at Long Chen. "How did you manage to raise your realm by so much all at once?"
Long Chen didn’t answer. Instead, he raised his hand and began forming seals, activating the Chan Meditation Spirit Map. A pale golden light enveloped him, with golden rune inscriptions rotating within.
He thrust a palm directly at Liu Yukun!
Great Brahman Holy Palm!
A golden Palm Shadow burst forth, carrying an extremely potent force as it shot toward Liu Yukun. Wherever the golden Palm Shadow passed, space itself twisted!
"Courting death!"
Seeing Long Chen actually take the initiative to attack him, Liu Yukun still wore a look of disdain. In his eyes, even with this improved strength, Long Chen was still no match for him. Facing Long Chen’s strike, Liu Yukun still didn’t take him seriously and simply threw a casual punch. This punch contained nearly eighty percent of his power, enough to obliterate Long Chen on the spot!
But then, the unexpected happened.
After Long Chen activated the Fourth Stage Coiling Dragon Seal, Liu Yukun’s own realm was instantly suppressed from the Ninth Level down to the Fifth Layer of the War King Realm! This sudden suppression caught Liu Yukun completely off guard. He felt immense pressure from the golden Palm Shadow Long Chen had released.
Damn it!
Liu Yukun cursed internally, his expression becoming extremely grave. He desperately gathered his combat power, but he could not dissipate the oppressive force bearing down on him.
Shangguan Yuan, witnessing this, saw it as the perfect opportunity to slay Long Chen. He leaped into the air, about to launch a sneak attack from behind.
Long Chen’s brows furrowed, but before he could react, a graceful figure suddenly appeared by his side. It was Chu Lingjun!
"Don’t you think it’s despicable to launch a sneak attack from behind?" Chu Lingjun’s expression was icy. She once again unleashed a powerful killing move: Mirror Shattering Demise!
Shangguan Yuan had no choice but to abandon his assault on Long Chen and move to counter Chu Lingjun’s killing move.
"Getting in the way?" Shangguan Yuan squinted. "Then don’t blame me for being impolite!"
"Presumptuous!"
Just as Shangguan Yuan was about to make his move, a commanding shout rang out. A terrifying pressure from Chu Zhentian descended directly upon him.
"Are you trying to rebel?" Chu Zhentian stared sharply at Shangguan Yuan.
"Shangguan Yuan, don’t go too far!" Tuoba Jin shouted coldly as he quickly moved to their side.
Shangguan Yuan was quite displeased to see Chu Zhentian and Tuoba Jin intervene. However, with no other choice, he could only suppress his resentment for the time being.
BOOM!!
A loud explosion suddenly erupted in their vicinity. A powerful force swept out in all directions. Even powerhouses like Chu Zhentian had to quickly circulate their Imperial Qi to defend against the impact of the aftershocks.
Once they composed themselves, everyone looked toward Long Chen and Liu Yukun. They saw a figure sent flying backward in a parabolic arc, crashing heavily onto the ground and shattering the hard surface on impact.
The person was not Long Chen, but Liu Yukun!
He was covered in blood and looked utterly miserable. He was severely injured and extremely weak! Meanwhile, Long Chen stood there unharmed, his presence awe-inspiring and utterly domineering.
