Chapter 5821: Go Back!
The one who made a move was none other than Long Chen himself. Initially, Long Chen had no intention of intervening, but the temptation of a late-stage Divine Emperor's corpse was too great to resist.
It's important to note that this late-stage Divine Emperor's corpse was unlike any of the others. This individual had fused numerous Heavenly Laws, making them exceptionally powerful. When Long Chen disassembled the corpse, the Heavenly Laws it had integrated would be released into the chaotic space. According to Long Chen's estimate, if this continued, the chaotic space would eventually grow into a world with laws as complete as the Nine Heavens. This was a scenario Long Chen couldn't fathom but was eagerly anticipating. If he truly achieved this, he would become the ruler of the chaotic world, and with the power of the chaotic world, who could stand against him? The Great Brahman Heaven? The Falling Night Heaven? Were they even worthy of consideration?
"You seek death!" Long Chen slammed a brick against the old man, causing stars to dance before his eyes, and a noticeable egg-sized bump to swell on the back of his head.
The old man roared in anger, his clawed hand reaching straight for Long Chen. The full force of a late-stage Divine Emperor's power erupted, shattering the space around Long Chen.
"Be careful!" Huai Yushan exclaimed in shock, realizing that it was too late to rescue Long Chen.
"Boom!" In the spot where Long Chen had been, the old man crushed it with his bare hand. However, Long Chen had anticipated this individual's furious reaction and immediately activated the teleportation power of the Overturning Heaven Seal to escape. He vanished so quickly that only an afterimage remained, which the old man shattered. But it was just Long Chen's afterimage.
"Sizzle…" In that moment of realization, the old man was attacked from all sides by countless wooden vines covered in dragon scales, resembling monstrous pythons, shooting from all directions.
"Get lost!" The old man roared as he burned his purple Divine Emperor's crown at the back of his head. The terrifying power of the wooden vines formed by Huai Minjun was directly shattered into dust.
"Dragon Huai, Seal the Heavens!" It seemed like Huai Yushan had anticipated that these attacks wouldn't be enough to stop him. In the instant when the old man shattered the wooden vines, a towering Dragon Huai tree appeared in the void, with enormous branches that hung down like endless pythons, instantly sealing the old man in place.
Each branch, as thick as an arm, was extremely flexible and interwoven, forming a web that imprisoned the old man layer upon layer.
This was the terror of the Tree Demon clan. Once they controlled you, it was over. With their almost infinite vitality, no matter how powerful you were, they could wear you down to death.
The Tree Demon clan was mostly skilled in control. They excelled in capturing opportunities and setting traps. Once a trap was set, it was virtually game over.
"You scoundrel, dreaming of killing me? Dream on! Blood Escape of the Dark Spirits!" The old man, trapped, let out an earth-shattering roar, followed by a terrifying surge of blood energy.
"Boom!" With a deafening roar, Huai Yushan's thousandfold web was pierced by a single sword, and the old man's figure shot out.
Huai Yushan's expression changed as she didn't expect the old man, who appeared so elderly, to possess such vigorous vitality and the ability to unleash such immense power. When the old man broke through her blockade, she knew that he couldn't be detained any longer.
"Get lost, you!" she exclaimed in frustration.
"Bang!" The moment the old man broke free from Huai Yushan's restraint, the Overturning Heaven Seal in his hand rapidly expanded. Like a door, the brick-like seal was swung fiercely at the old man, resulting in a loud explosion. The old man was sent flying back.
"I..." The old man was so infuriated that he cursed loudly. Long Chen's move was cunning; it caught him at a moment when his old strength had left him, and his new strength had yet to arrive. He was struck without a chance to retaliate, helplessly watching as he was returned to the death trap.
In a surprising turn of events, the old man was back inside the trap, and Huai Yushan quickly formed seals with her hands, repairing the barrier the old man had shattered.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The old man struggled desperately, causing the ground to tremble incessantly. However, he no longer had the power to unleash an attack like before. Despite his frantic struggles, it was a futile endeavor, and his fate was sealed. When it came to endurance, aside from a few special races, hardly anyone could match the immortality of the Dragon Huai clan.
While Huai Yushan was dealing with the old man, aside from a few mid-stage Divine Emperors who managed to escape during the chaos, most of the others were captured in one fell swoop. The strength of these immortal Dragon Huai clan members was astonishing, and their interconnected souls allowed for perfect coordination, as if eight people shared one soul. This ability was truly remarkable.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The enormous Dragon Huai ancient tree shook, and the old man continued to struggle, but his aura had visibly diminished. With this development, his fate was sealed.
"Leave him intact; I have a use for him," Long Chen said.
Although Huai Yushan was curious about what Long Chen intended to do with the corpse, she nodded in agreement.
After about a stick of incense's worth of time, the massive Dragon Huai ancient tree suddenly shuddered, and then a corpse was thrown out. It was the late-stage Divine Emperor old man.
It had to be said that Huai Yushan was indeed powerful; when she said she'd leave the corpse intact, she meant it. There were no fatal wounds on the old man's body. His face was filled with terror, and he didn't seem to understand how he had died.
Long Chen thanked Huai Yushan and then promptly tossed the corpse into the chaotic space. He also cleaned up the entire battlefield in an instant.
Although Long Chen's behavior seemed strange, Huai Yushan didn't inquire. Instead, she instructed everyone to continue on their way.
Judging by Huai Yushan's attitude, it was evident that she wasn't concerned about such attacks. This level of powerful adversary didn't pose a threat to them.
Even though the late-stage Divine Emperor had broken her blockade, she was only slightly surprised, as the rest of it had gone as expected.
Long Chen couldn't help but silently admire Huai Yushan. He had finally witnessed what a true powerhouse should be like. This Huai Yushan was much stronger than he had imagined.
It was no wonder she was regarded as the top talent of the immortal Dragon Huai clan. Her strength was so immense that even Long Chen felt immense pressure.
"Long Chen, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!" A male member of the immortal Dragon Huai clan couldn't help but speak up. Long Chen's performance had been too astonishing.
"Where's the strength? I'm just fortunate to have a treasure by my side. At most, I can help out a little in the battle," Long Chen modestly replied. With Huai Yushan as a superpowerful protector, he had a perfect opportunity to take a break and not steal the limelight.
"Hmm." After a few more hours of travel, Huai Yushan formed seals with both hands, and peculiar divine patterns appeared in the palms of her hands. She then smacked the ground forcefully.
"Boom!" The ground suddenly trembled, and then Long Chen witnessed an astonishing scene.
