Chapter 5835: Kowtow

"I... I've done my best to reduce my strength," Little Tian said with a hint of embarrassment.

It turned out that when Long Chen retaliated with a move, the force was misdirected and didn't hit the white-haired man but instead collided with his own nose.

Fortunately, Little Tian had quickly mitigated most of the force, or else, instead of shedding tears, he might have started bleeding.

"Damn, who invented soft weapons? They're so difficult to use," Long Chen complained as his nose stung, and tears streamed down his face.

It's no wonder they say the weirder the weapon, the faster you die, not just enemies but yourself as well.

Long Chen considered himself knowledgeable about various weapons, but in practice, it was a different story. "This idiot," he thought. He had initially thought he could defeat the white-haired man in one go, but instead, he had hit himself. Liu Ruyan couldn't help but be speechless.

Chu Yao, seeing Long Chen holding his nose and crying, couldn't help but feel sorry, clenching her jade-like hands tightly. Even though she knew that this injury wasn't severe for Long Chen, she couldn't help but feel his pain.

"You damn ant, go to hell!" Long Chen's attack slowed down, and the white-haired man immediately seized the opportunity. He roared in anger, and the thirteen dragon veins on his back reappeared.

The Emperor Miao's flame, which had already started to weaken, flared up again, even more powerful than before. The white-haired man was incredibly strong, and the Emperor Miao's aura was terrifying. However, he was constantly controlled by Long Chen, and his immense strength remained largely untapped.

Every time he got injured, he had to expend his original source power to heal himself to maintain peak condition. This was a significant drain on his resources. At Long Chen's previous attack rate, it would take at most the time it takes for an incense stick to burn out to deplete his original source power and extinguish the Emperor Miao's flame.

Once the Emperor Miao's flame went out, he would be no different from an ordinary Heaven Saint disciple. Long Chen's mistake gave him a chance. The white-haired man immediately burned all his power, knowing he had only one chance to turn the tide.

"Emperor's Flame Ignition, Divine Domain!" The white-haired man roared, and the heavens and the earth vibrated. A curtain of light spread out and covered the entire arena.

"This guy is crazy. Is he not afraid of the backlash of the Emperor's Flame? Does he want to perish with no remains?" When Liu Ruyan saw this, her face changed.

As an Emperor Miao disciple, she knew the white-haired man had gone mad. This move was equivalent to injuring the enemy a thousand times at the cost of self-destruction. Even if he won this battle, he would probably be severely wounded and might even lose the power of the Emperor's Flame, reverting to his original state.

Long Chen's body suddenly sank as the power of the domain expanded. He crashed to the ground from mid-air. In that moment, he seemed to lose the power to soar, shocking Long Chen. The power of the domain had separated and imprisoned him from the laws of heaven and earth.

Long Chen felt cut off from the connection with heaven and earth, unable to draw any strength from them. The white-haired man took a step forward, raised his spear high, and put all his life's power into a fierce thrust toward Long Chen.

"This time, let's see how you can dodge." The white-haired man's face contorted, his eyes turned crimson, and his spear was as fast as lightning. He intended to kill Long Chen in a single blow without holding back. With the domain's power suppressing Long Chen, there was no room for him to maneuver.

"Wow, even the power of the Demon Moon Cauldron is being suppressed. This guy's something!" Long Chen realized that the runes on the Demon Moon Cauldron were also imprisoned by the domain's power, rendering it unable to protect him.

But a wicked smile appeared on Long Chen's lips. If the Demon Moon Cauldron couldn't help, maybe the Heaven and Earth Cauldron could?

Long Chen was just pondering this when, as the white-haired man thrust the spear toward him, the sealed Demon Moon Cauldron above Long Chen's head suddenly trembled. A majestic and divine aura was released.

The power imprisoning it was suddenly dispelled, and Long Chen swiftly moved aside. The spear slammed into the ground, causing a massive crater to form as the rocky ground exploded.

Seeing this enormous pit, even the members of the Immortal Dao Sect couldn't help but gasp. The wooden arena was the first stage and was used for fights between Emperor Realm experts.

The stone arena was prepared for late Heaven Saint experts, yet it had still been shattered by the white-haired man's single blow. It showed just how terrifying that attack was.

However, no matter how terrifying an attack was, it was meaningless if it didn't hit its target. When Long Chen broke free from the white-haired man's lock-on, the man's heart turned cold, and he felt like he had fallen into an icehouse.

In the instant his attack missed, Long Chen's large hand emerged from the white-haired man's back, and his five fingers pierced through the man's chest. The white-haired man's body quivered, and his breath rapidly declined. His entire being seemed to wither, and he shrank rapidly.

"Oh, wow." Long Chen was surprised. He hadn't intended to kill the guy directly. However, as he pierced through the white-haired man's body, a powerful suction came from the Chaos Space.

This suction passed through Long Chen's arm and directly drained all of the white-haired man's strength, including the remnants of the Emperor Miao's aura in his body.

"It's it." What surprised Long Chen was that the one absorbing the white-haired man's strength was not the Dragon Bone Evil Moon Cauldron but the mysterious ancient vine beneath the Heavenly Dao Tree.

When the ancient vine absorbed the white-haired man's strength, its aura subtly changed. Although the change was extremely subtle, Long Chen still sensed it. It seemed to have acquired a hint of imperial aura.

"It can absorb imperial aura?" This discovery astonished Long Chen. He had never truly understood the origin of the mysterious ancient vine, and now, it had astounded him once again.

The white-haired man's body trembled slightly, and his desiccated body scattered in the wind, turning into dust. An Emperor Miao powerhouse, a generation's strongman, had been killed with one blow. Countless people were horrified.

Everything had happened so suddenly. Just moments ago, everyone had been worried about Long Chen, but in the blink of an eye, the white-haired man had been killed with a single blow. Even the late Heaven Saint experts were shocked by this unexpected turn of events.

How Long Chen had caused the white-haired man's lock-on to fail under the Emperor Miao's Flame in the domain was almost impossible to discern. It was all too mysterious.

Only a few people had seen the changes in the Demon Moon Cauldron and guessed it might have something to do with the situation, but the specifics were still a mystery.

"Cut, I thought Emperor Miao

experts were something special, but it seems they're nothing!" Long Chen sneered after killing the white-haired man. Then he looked at Aguta and said, "The third round is over. Kowtow!"
