Gambling with the Dao of Heaven — Hu Feng

"Die!"

With a furious roar, Yue Changfeng's spear was like a streak of lightning, thrusting into the void where a faint figure existed. Even though the youth managed to evade his lock-on, the spear of slaughter sensed his position.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion echoed as a small bone token collided with the spear's tip, creating a large hole in the fabric of space. By the time the hole closed, the youth had vanished without a trace, and even the spear of slaughter couldn't sense his direction. Clearly, he had escaped.

"I offered you a divination out of goodwill, yet you try to kill me. Truly a group of ungrateful individuals. Originally, despite the ominous divination, there was a chance for remedy if you sought to avoid calamity and pursue good fortune. However, now, you can all await death!" The voice of the youth resonated from afar.

"Damn little bastard, dare you leave your name behind," Yue Changfeng raged. This guy not only fled but also intentionally insulted them before doing so.

"Gamble with the Dao of Heaven — Hu Feng," the youth's voice sounded once again. Yue Changfeng's spear trembled incessantly in his hand. He had intended to use the youth's echo to pinpoint his location and attempt a long-distance attack. It was a unique technique of the spear of slaughter. If he could lock onto the general direction, he might have a chance at annihilating the opponent with a remote strike.

Unfortunately, it seemed the youth had seen through his intentions. By the time the voice reached him, he and the sound were no longer in the same direction. The spear of slaughter possessed this ability, but it was useless in this situation.

Yue Changfeng was so infuriated that his teeth itched. He had never encountered an opponent who could outwit him, and now, armed with the Canghuang Battle Armor and the spear of slaughter, his strength had reached an unprecedented peak. However, after suffering a loss before Long Chen, he hadn't yet had the chance to regain his reputation. Now, he was being played by a mere youth. To him, this was an immense humiliation.

On the other hand, Lu Qingshuang's expression was one of astonishment. She had originally planned to lend a hand to the youth and was prepared to offend Yue Changfeng in doing so.

The reason she didn't intervene directly was that she was filled with curiosity about this young man. She couldn't sense any fluctuations of celestial energy from him, yet he emanated immense pressure.

She wanted to understand the extent of this youth's strength. If he were in danger, she would step in. Even if it upset Yue Changfeng, she wasn't concerned about the consequences.

However, everything unfolded too quickly. It felt like it was over before it even began. What shocked her the most was that the powerful individual slain by Hu Feng had been someone who had condensed six innate celestial energy channels, one of the mightiest subordinates of Tumeng.

To put it in perspective, within the entire Gold Armor Knights Order, only Yue Changfeng had achieved the level of nine innate celestial energy channels. He was the highest-ranked and strongest figure in the entire Order. Even without his two divine weapons, he had no equal.

There were four Eight Meridians Celestials, including Lu Qingshuang and Tumeng, along with two other knight commanders.

The individual killed by Hu Feng was at the level of Six Meridians Celestial, but his talent was extraordinary and his combat power astonishing. He could contend with Seven Meridians Celestials.

Yet, this formidable opponent had been obliterated in an instant, without anyone even having a chance to intervene.

What was even more terrifying was that everyone saw it clearly: the one who killed him was a small bone token in Hu Feng's hand. The bone token was three inches long and an inch wide, shimmering like jade. It appeared incredibly fragile and as if it would shatter with the slightest touch.

However, this bone token effortlessly pierced through the man's head, even penetrating the golden battle helmet he wore. The part where the golden helmet was pierced through was as smooth as a mirror, as if a blade had cut through a radish. The powerful golden helmet provided no protection whatsoever.

The same bone token that blocked Yue Changfeng's attack, though he hadn't used his full strength at the time. But keep in mind, he wielded the spear of slaughter.

A weapon that combined the powers of destruction and slaughter, yet it was blocked by that small bone token. This youth was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he didn't carry the aura of the ages – in other words, he wasn't an ancient sealed entity.

Thinking this, Lu Qingshuang couldn't help but gasp. To reach such a level of cultivation at fifteen or sixteen years old was nothing short of monstrous.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness. Yue Changfeng really had a knack for picking opponents. In such a short span of time, he had challenged two immensely fearsome individuals.

Long Chen's strength was so profound that it was impossible to fathom his limits. As for this youth, he hadn't even employed the power of his celestial dragon aura, yet he easily escaped from the midst of thousands of troops and casually eliminated a Six Meridians Celestial.

At this moment, looking at Yue Changfeng, he displayed no hint of remorse. Instead, he was gritting his teeth with a fierce killing intent, an appearance of vowing not to stop until he shattered his opponent into pieces. He didn't seem to reflect at all on whether his actions were correct.

"Let's go!"

Yue Changfeng's face darkened, and with a wave of his hand, he led the mech knight order to swiftly charge forward.

Lu Qingshuang's expression was numb, and she remained silent. At this point, she seemed to have yielded to fate. Tumeng, seeing Lu Qingshuang's demeanor, couldn't help but show a trace of a smug smile.

...

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest continued moving forward, its sonic boom resonating through the heavens and earth. Long Chen stood within the great hall, watching the outside scenery. He couldn't help but recall Yue Changfeng's arrogant demeanor and felt annoyed:

"Chase after me, catch up, I have every reason to smash your head into a dog's head."

Before, with acquaintances present, Long Chen couldn't blatantly confront him. However, he could tell that Yue Changfeng was the kind of person who couldn't resist taking things too far. It would make sense for him to chase after them.

If he did chase, Long Chen would have a reason to retaliate. However, this time, Long Chen had actually miscalculated. He had waited for quite a while, but he didn't see the Gold Armor Knights Order catching up.

"If you don't chase now, you might miss your chance," Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Because the space ahead gradually began to distort, he was moving in a straight line, but within the twisted space, the route kept changing. Despite coming in the same direction, due to different times, the path ahead kept altering.

"Buzz."

Although Long Chen deliberately slowed down, eventually, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest entered the distorted space.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

Upon entering the twisted space, countless divine runes lit up on the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. The massive Nest resembled a sun, radiating an unprecedented brilliance.

Simultaneously, a pure energy surged towards them. Within this energy, there was boundless heavenly destiny, divine power, law power, and even the power of dragon blood.

Entering the twisted space indicated they were very close to offending the Imperial Dao's reverse scale. They were about to witness the true form of the Imperial Dao's reverse scale. At that moment, Long Chen's heart began to surge with excitement.

"I understand now. You don't cultivate divine abilities, you don't comprehend the Nine Li Divine Symbols – it's all because of it!"

Suddenly, Long Chen heard the exclamation of the Chaos Dragon Emperor in his mind.
