Chapter 5695: Fusion of the Nine Veins
Originally, Guo Ran was engaged in a fierce battle with the leader of the demon clan. Guo Ran had been on the defensive the whole time, seemingly unable to strike back. This situation was similar to when Bai Xiaolei fought against him before. Over time, the leader of the demon clan grew bolder, attacking without defending.
However, when Guo Ran summoned his complete battle armor and launched a powerful counterattack in an instant of surging aura, he annihilated the demon clan leader. All of this was part of the plan. Except for the true blood battle with the Purple Pupil Nine-Tailed Fox, the others were merely going through the motions, with the goal of buying time.
Powerhouses like Vantian De had long been observing in secret. They intentionally left "opportunities" for the demon clan, wanting them to test the strength of the Dragon Blood Corps. However, the demon clan acted recklessly. They nearly lost patience several times and attempted to break free. Later, Hou Tianwu had to use the power of his father's bloodline to keep them in check for a while.
It wasn't until Hou Tianwu was killed that Vantian De couldn't hold back any longer. He realized that the demon clan couldn't truly assess the strength of the Dragon Blood Corps. Long Chen was alone in the Dragon Scale Space, and no one knew what he was doing. This couldn't continue, so pressure needed to be applied to Long Chen. Ideally, some members of the Dragon Blood Corps should be taken down to lure Long Chen out. Thus, Vantian De stepped forward.
"Boom!"
Meanwhile, Guo Ran killed the demon clan leader with a single strike. At the same time, the Dragon Blood power within Guyang burned, and a spear shot out like lightning.
"Splurt!"
Xiangtu attempted to dodge, but in the instant he dodged, the enigmatic spear pierced through his chest. Intense pain left his body paralyzed, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"You fool, I've used this move three times before, and each time you evaded with the same technique. This time, you used the same move again. It's not that I'm exceptionally strong, but you're just too foolish," Guyang shook his head.
"Boom!"
Guyang's spear trembled as the power of the dragon erupted. Xiangtu's body was instantly torn apart, annihilated in an instant.
"Splurt!"
At the moment Guyang killed Xiangtu, on Li Qi's side, a punch killed the demon clan leader, brutally shattering the leader's head. The headless body slowly collapsed to the ground.
The three major leaders were instantly annihilated. The leader who had been relentlessly attacking Song Mingyuan was so terrified that he chose to retreat in a hurry and attempted to escape.
"Buzz."
However, just as he attempted to flee, a massive hand emerged from the ground, grabbing hold of one of his legs. The demon clan leader was filled with shock. Before he could struggle, an immense force swept over him, and his body was flung away.
"Splurt!"
The demon clan leader tumbled through the air and ended up right in front of Guyang. Guyang had already taken a stance, and the demon clan powerhouse inadvertently impaled himself on the tip of Guyang's spear, piercing through his head in an instant.
The last demon clan leader had also perished. They had been exuberantly killing moments ago, but now, in the blink of an eye, all were annihilated, leaving the spectators in shock.
"Splurt splurt splurt…"
At this moment, the Dragon Blood Corps and the Hidden Dragon Corps erupted in full force. Streams of sword qi shot out, instantly clearing the demon clan powerhouses who had been relentlessly attacking the Dragon Blood Corps. The entire scene was filled with shock.
The strong members of the Northern Alliance and the Southern Alliance also had their mouths agape. Previously, they had considered the Dragon Blood Corps too dangerous and had nearly been unable to resist lending a hand. Now they realized that the Dragon Blood Corps had been playing possum all along.
The seemingly endless demon clan powerhouses at the forefront were all annihilated in an instant. The demon clan powerhouses who were luckier and remained behind were spared because their strength wasn't sufficient to qualify for the frontlines.
Seeing their leaders and elite forces wiped out, the remaining demon clan powerhouses fled in a panic, retreating like a receding tide, leaving the scene completely in a matter of breaths.
However, the performance of the Dragon Blood Corps astonished everyone, though Vantian De was completely unsurprised, as if everything had unfolded according to his expectations.
"Go and have a meeting with that woman, but be cautious!" Vantian De instructed a short man by his side.
"Understood."
The short man took a step forward. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Bai Shishi. His speed was astonishing, leaving people speechless.
At this point, Bai Shishi had already put away her Golden Goddess form due to its significant energy consumption. Furthermore, the Golden Goddess form was only effective against opponents with massive size. Against humanoid opponents, if the form was too large and the opponent was agile, even the most powerful attack would be meaningless if it couldn't land, potentially leading to the user's exhaustion.
As the short man appeared, a long sword shimmering with golden light, resembling a venomous snake, lunged straight for Bai Shishi's throat.
This man was shorter than the average person, with a dark complexion and cold, emotionless eyes. He seemed reserved and ruthless, a person of few words, and when he acted, it was with a fierce and lethal precision.
"Clang!"
Bai Shishi's golden sword was unsheathed, and the two long swords clashed, emitting a crisp sound. Bai Shishi and the man both staggered back a few steps simultaneously.
Bai Shishi's expression slightly changed. The man's weapon was extremely peculiar. The power of gold within the long sword was enveloped by a formidable divine energy that she couldn't absorb in the slightest.
Evidently, her opponent had discerned her abilities and sent this man to counter her strength.
After the exchange, neither of them gained the upper hand. They both shouted at the same time, summoning the power of their dragon veins.
However, at the moment the man summoned his dragon vein power, countless people exclaimed. The man's nine dragon veins formed a circle, creating a dragon ring.
"Nine Veins Convergence, Half-Step Emperor Realm?" someone exclaimed in shock.
"How could he dare? Converging nine veins, if not controlled properly, it can invite heavenly tribulations and directly push one to the Emperor Realm. This guy's courage is beyond belief," someone couldn't fathom it. The audacity of this person was astounding.
It should be noted that everyone was condensing the dragon qi of the dragon veins in the Celestial Vein Profound Realm. Achieving such rapid realm advancement in such a short time, regardless of who it was, would undoubtedly lead to problems in controlling the power.
In this state, with nine veins converged, almost no one could control that kind of power, and it would typically lead to a breakthrough in realm, pushing to become an emperor. Yet, this man managed to do it.
Upon summoning the power of nine veins converged, the terrifying dragon vein pressure and the force of destiny instantly made people feel the disparity within it.
In her previous battle against Hou Tianwu, Bai Shishi's momentum was overwhelming. But now, in the presence of the short man, she seemed to be in a situation where she was being suppressed.
"Compared to Nine Veins Heavenly Saint, the disadvantage is too obvious in Nine Veins Convergence," Su Yu, from the Southern Alliance, watched the scene and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"What's most important is that the divine energy on this man is so terrifying. This isn't an ordinary Nine Veins Convergence," a man said.
The speaker was none other than the leader of the Northern Alliance, Xu Zheng. Just like his name implied, he was an extremely upright person.
Last time, Long Chen granted them an opportunity, ensuring that each of them comprehended at least one of the Nine Li Divine Symbols. Fearing jealousy from others, they quickly left. Later, they discovered that these Nine Li Divine Symbols within their bodies provided them with a breakthrough, an opportunity to condense their ancestral dragon veins. It was only then they realized that what Long Chen gave them wasn't just runes, but a chance to defy fate itself.
Now, every member of the Northern Alliance had awakened their ancestral dragon veins. Although most had only one or two veins, compared to ordinary Celestial Saints, they were immensely satisfied.
Among the Nine Veins Heavenly Saints, there were a total of 127 people. At that time, Xu Zheng was full of vigor, believing that the Northern Alliance had fully risen. Even if they weren't top-tier powerhouses, they were at least upper middle-tier.
Upon sensing the aura of the Emperor's Path Reversal Scale, without hesitation, they charged over with their group. At first, things went quite well. Relying on their powerful lineup, they easily scared off many forces.
However, the further they progressed, the colder their hearts grew. They finally understood the saying "strong as clouds" and realized they dared not confront many of the forces directly.
After the appearance of the Dragon Blood Corps, when they found out Long Chen had come, their blood boiled with excitement. Everything they had was given to them by Long Chen. As long as Long Chen was in trouble, they were willing to support him, even if it meant risking their lives.
During the battle of the Dragon Blood Corps, when they helped secure positions, outsiders couldn't discern their intentions and believed they were taking advantage of the situation to absorb energy.
What Xu Zheng didn't expect was that the Southern Alliance, led by Su Yu, had also arrived. Inquiring further, they discovered that they had also received Long Chen's favor, prompting them to risk their lives to offer assistance.
However, the strength of Su Yu's group was far inferior to that of the Northern Alliance. Including Su Yu, there were only seven people who had condensed nine ancestral dragon veins among them.
The majority of their team were ordinary Celestial Saints. When Su Yu saw Xu Zheng, she was also shocked. When did the Northern Alliance become so strong?
Upon inquiry, they learned it was due to Long Chen's great favor. With that understanding, there was nothing more to say. Long Chen was in trouble now, so they would help as much as they could.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just at that moment, Bai Shishi and the man with the sword were locked in a fierce battle. Swords danced through the air, colliding with dazzling golden light and radiant divine brilliance. The sharp clash of their weapons echoed throughout the heavens.
This was a peak confrontation. Compared to this battle, the previous clashes between leaders seemed like child's play.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
Sword qi continuously tore through the void, leaving behind traces of residual energy. Every slash of sword qi cut through the fabric of reality, causing countless strong individuals to feel a shiver down their spines.
"So powerful."
Su Yu clenched her fists tightly, her palms sweaty. In a battle of this level, even if she wanted to help, she had no chance. She could only silently pray for Bai Shishi's safety.
Despite having her aura suppressed by the man, Bai Shishi's attacks remained fierce and unyielding. Her onslaught was relentless, and she showed no signs of weakness. This ferocious exchange was unlike anything she had ever witnessed before.
"Boom boom boom..."
The two of them fiercely clashed, refusing to yield an inch. However, a stick of incense's worth of time had passed, yet neither side had emerged as the victor. Their energies remained undiminished.
Vantian De had been observing the battle all along, and he gradually grew impatient. With a cold snort, he commanded, "If you can't kill this woman within ten moves, then you shall die too!"
Upon hearing Vantian De's words, the man suddenly gritted his teeth.
"Burn, Divine Power! Merge with the Dragon Veins!"
The man let out a furious roar. The dragon veins on his back were instantaneously engulfed in flames, transforming into a torrent of molten lava that surged into his body.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion resounded, and the man's aura surged dramatically. His long sword ignited with flames as he bellowed, the fusion of man and sword charging fiercely at Bai Shishi. At this moment, he had fallen into a state of madness.
