Chapter 5712: Divine Emperor's Crown
"Return my son's life!"
The elder of the Heavenly Demon Golden Ape clan roared in anger. His son had been killed, and his heart was already consumed by fury. His target was the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
However, Hou Tianwu had been killed, and before Long Chen even entered the scene, blinded by rage, he had yet to realize Long Chen's terrifying strength. As he saw Long Chen approaching, he let out a furious shout and swung his fist forcefully at Long Chen.
"You won't be getting it back, but I can send you to join him and have a family reunion," Long Chen sneered.
"Enough with your nonsense!"
Hou Tianwu's father roared, his fist emanating countless beams of golden light, channeling his full power into his punch.
As Hou Tianwu's father's fist came hurtling towards him, Long Chen returned the blow with his own fist.
"Boom!"
The collision of the golden and purple fists sent a shockwave through the sky, their dual-hued divine radiance staining the heavens. One was an ancient Divine Emperor sealed in the chaotic era, and the other was the pinnacle genius of the modern age.
In this clash of flesh and blood power, there were no flashy movements. Clearly, both Long Chen and Hou Tianwu's father had great confidence in their physical bodies.
Amidst the intertwining purple and golden divine radiance, numerous powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Golden Ape clan were sent flying by the shockwaves.
"Crack!"
However, before everyone could even comprehend what was happening within the shockwaves, a loud explosion rang out. Hou Tianwu's father was sent flying backward, a large purple handprint appearing on his face. Against the backdrop of the golden aura, the handprint was particularly prominent.
"All members of the Heavenly Demon Golden Ape clan, descend to hell!"
While people were still marveling at the appearance of the handprint on Hou Tianwu's father's face, a shrill and furious roar sounded. A sharp claw tore through the sky and plunged directly into the ranks of the Heavenly Demon Golden Ape clan.
"Splut, splut, splut..."
This strike was incredibly terrifying, yet it happened in absolute silence. It was the secret technique of the fusion between Bai Xiaole and Xiao Jiu, using spatial manipulation to conceal the horrifying power. When executed, this attack became a death sentence. Hundreds of powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Golden Ape clan were instantly obliterated by a single swipe of the claw, blood and flesh scattering in all directions.
"Ah!"
Seeing the endless splatters of blood, the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox grew even more frenzied. Its massive body went on a rampage.
At this moment, the powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Golden Ape clan began to manifest their true forms, transforming into giants and charging towards Xiao Jiu.
However, at this point, Xiao Jiu had already gone into a frenzy. Its claws were like blades, relentlessly biting and tearing. It didn't even bother using its divine abilities, as the sensation of sinking its teeth into flesh and blood made it even more exhilarated.
"Boom!"
Hou Tianwu's father, who had been slapped by Long Chen, let out a resounding roar. Suddenly, a divine radiance appeared behind his head. As this radiance emerged, the entire world seemed to tremble. His aura instantly surged, increasing by more than tenfold.
"Divine Emperor's Crown?"
When Long Chen saw the divine radiance behind his head, his heart trembled slightly. He had finally witnessed it—the Divine Emperor's Crown, a symbol that only the strong from the chaotic era could manifest. In the current age of the Dharma Ending, the emperors or deities of this era were unable to form the Imperial Crown anymore.
However, Long Chen's generation was fortunate to catch the flow of destiny. As long as they condensed their innate dragon veins, they could form the Imperial Crown. Furthermore, the Imperial Crown had different levels of grades, and the more innate dragon veins one had, the more perfect their performance during tribulation, resulting in a higher grade Imperial Crown.
The grade of the Imperial Crown could be distinguished by color, ranging from red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, to purple—seven grades in total, with red being the lowest and purple the highest.
Having an Imperial Crown or not made a huge difference in strength between individuals of the same level, creating an insurmountable gap.
Hou Tianwu's father was a Ninth-Rank Divine Emperor, but if he were an ordinary Divine Emperor, he wouldn't have been able to withstand Long Chen's previous punch. He would have been severely injured if not killed.
However, with the Divine Emperor's Crown, his strength increased dramatically, enabling him to endure the attack.
However, he was a powerhouse from the chaotic era, his physical body nurtured by the chaotic energy, incredibly robust, far beyond the reach of the current era's strong individuals.
Hence, despite Long Chen's formidable aura, he had believed he could easily shatter Long Chen with a single punch. Yet, his strike yielded no advantage, and he ended up receiving a slap from Long Chen in return.
Fueled by rage, he no longer held back. The divine radiance appeared behind his head, and under its influence, he seemed to be wearing an emperor's crown atop his head. This was also the origin of the term "Imperial Crown."
With the appearance of the Imperial Crown, the aura of Hou Tianwu's father surged by over tenfold. The power of the world continuously converged towards him, and his aura kept rising, the immense power causing the surrounding space to hum.
"Splut, splut, splut..."
Just as Hou Tianwu's father summoned the Imperial Crown, the Blood War had already begun. The Dragon Blood Legion had clashed with the formidable members of the demon race.
However, what the demon race didn't anticipate was that these powerful Divine Emperor-level experts were practically helpless in the face of the Dragon Blood Legion. The clash between the new and old powerhouses was an utterly unequal slaughter. Even the weakest members of the North-South Alliance were now fighting fiercely, and the elder generation of Divine Emperors were being killed off, wailing and crying.
It wasn't that the current generation of Divine Emperor-level experts wasn't trying hard enough; it was that they had been surpassed by the era. The blessings of the Celestial Vein Realm's destiny had created an insurmountable gap.
As they witnessed the powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Golden Ape clan being slain, Hou Tianwu's father grew increasingly anxious. In order to avenge his son, he ordered the activation of a teleportation array, summoning all the Divine Emperor-level and higher experts of the Heavenly Demon Alliance to come to their aid.
Seeking revenge for his son was one aspect, but at the same time, it was also about showcasing the dominant position of the demon race and establishing their authority among the various clans. With these Divine Emperors being slaughtered and major forces suffering heavy losses, who would lead the Heavenly Demon Golden Ape clan in the future?
"Die!"
Hou Tianwu's father roared in anger, a golden staff appearing in his hand. The radiance of the Imperial Crown circulated, and he swung the staff down towards Long Chen.
"Tch, wearing a green hat, afraid no one would notice how beautiful your wife is?" Long Chen sneered, waving his hand as the Dragon Bone Evil Moon appeared.
Upon hearing Long Chen's words, Feng Xinyue, who was observing from afar, couldn't help but chuckle. Long Chen's mouth was quite sharp.
Hou Tianwu's father's Imperial Crown was of the fourth level in the Rainbow Grade, the green color among red, orange, yellow, and green. This color of Imperial Crown enhanced the power of the user's physical body.
In reality, Hou Tianwu's father's Imperial Crown was purple, the highest level of existence. However, during the long period of his seal, the power of his crown degraded, eventually turning green.
When Hou Tianwu's father heard Long Chen's words, his face turned green with anger. His expression became fierce like a demon, and endless runes lit up on the golden staff. He exerted his full power, as if wishing to smash Long Chen into a pulp with a single strike.
"Buzz."
Amidst the purple radiance, thirteen dragon veins appeared, and the image of dragons encircling a pearl emerged. The moment it appeared, the Dragon Blood power within Long Chen instantly ignited, and a violent force erupted like a volcanic eruption.
"Boom."
The dragon patterns on the Dragon Bone Evil Moon lit up as Long Chen's strike clashed against the golden staff. The collision of these two earth-shattering forces created an intense explosion.
