Chapter 5850 - I'm Going to Fight Ten Today

Liu Qingyu's furious roar shook the heavens. Clearly, like all members of the Immortal Clan, his grudge against Long Chen ran deep. The Immortal Clan inherently disliked the human race, and Liu Ruyan, in particular, had distanced herself from the Immortal Clan due to her connections with the humans. She didn't hesitate to go against the will of Liu Changtian.

Consequently, Long Chen became the scapegoat, and the powerful members of the Immortal Clan naturally wished for Liu Qingyu to teach Long Chen a harsh lesson and relieve their pent-up anger.

After Liu Qingyu's roar, the entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers, the clamor resembling crashing waves. In that moment, both Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao's hearts clenched. They locked eyes, seeing the sorrow hidden within each other's gaze.

Within the Immortal Clan, they felt no sense of belonging. Perhaps among the entire Immortal Clan, only Elder Xihua showed them a little kindness. Yet, even with Elder Xihua's constant care, Liu Ruyan couldn't feel the warmth of a mother. It wasn't because Elder Xihua didn't provide it; she herself didn't understand what she truly desired.

Seeing the entire arena cheering and rallying behind Liu Qingyu, Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao felt incredibly disheartened. But the most distressed was Liu Ruyan. These were her people after all.

"Today, I won't let you all shut your mouths. If you don't, I won't call myself Third Young Master Long today." Seeing the overwhelming cheers, this was clearly a provocation towards Long Chen. How could Long Chen endure this?

"Huff."

Long Chen stepped forward, appearing directly on the stage, ten zhang away from Liu Qingyu. The moment Long Chen appeared, the entire arena fell silent.

"Long Chen."

At that moment, among the spectators, a woman couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for him. That woman was Huai Yushan. She never expected things to escalate to this extent.

"Long Chen, make your move. Display your utmost strength. Today, I'll make you admit defeat, make you understand what absolute power means. The great Immortal Clan is not something a puny human race like you can rely on with schemes and tricks. After your defeat, I won't take your life. I only require you to annul the engagement with Ruyan and grant her freedom," Liu Qingyu shouted loudly.

Facing Liu Qingyu, Long Chen couldn't be bothered with idle talk. He said coldly, "Puny human race? Relying on the Immortal Clan? Such grandiosity."

"Do you dare to agree?" Liu Qingyu sneered.

Long Chen disdainfully replied, "Such childish provocation. Spare me. Ruyan and I have never plotted against each other. I'm tired of explaining to heartless and wooden-headed people like you. I'll make it clear: a marriage contract is sacred and not to be used as a bet."

"Are you saying you won't gamble?" Liu Qingyu couldn't understand Long Chen's words; all he knew was that Long Chen didn't dare.

"Idiot. Can't understand human speech? Moreover, even if I were to gamble, it needs suitable stakes, right? If you lose, I want Elder Liu Changtian to apologize to me. Can you do that?" Long Chen said coldly.

The mention of Elder Liu Changtian angered all the strong members of the Immortal Clan, and Liu Qingyu exploded in an instant.

"Boom!"

An anomaly appeared behind Liu Qingyu. The flames of the Emperor Miao ignited, and thirteen dragon veins bathed in flames, the violent aura instantly sweeping across the heavens.

"Rumble..."

The fierce aura instantly locked onto Long Chen. This time, the pressure of this lock was many times stronger than yesterday. Long Chen angrily shouted, "Ignorant human race! The Immortal Clan is not a place for your insolence. You will pay for your foolishness."

"Under the Human Emperor, I'm invincible. One exchange above the Human Emperor, who is the foolish one? We'll see in action. Purple Dragon Battle Form — Open!" Long Chen spread his arms, his voice roaring like a celestial being, causing the stars to tremble.

"Boom!"

With Long Chen's roar, the arena trembled violently. Cracks resembling a spider's web spread rapidly from where Long Chen stood, covering the entire stage in an instant.

"What?"

Witnessing this scene, the strong members of the Immortal Clan were taken aback. At this moment, Long Chen's entire body was covered in purple scales, bathed in a purple divine radiance. Behind him, eight-colored divine halos spun, within which a huge figure could vaguely be seen swimming. The sacred aura swept across the heavens and myriad realms.

Unlike Liu Qingyu, Long Chen's aura wasn't wildly released; it merely flowed within a few feet of his body. Judging from the scale of his aura, Liu Qingyu's aura was a thousand times stronger.

However, any expert of that level would know that Long Chen had compressed his aura to the extreme without any wastage, causing this phenomenon.

What shocked Elder Xihua and the post-Emperor strong experts was that this time, Long Chen didn't summon the ancient bronze cauldron but resisted Liu Qingyu's Emperor Miao pressure solely with his own anomalies.

Although Long Chen wasn't an Emperor Miao, Liu Qingyu's violent aura couldn't shake him at all. Liu Qingyu's aura was like raging waves, ceaselessly assaulting the heavens and earth, while Long Chen stood firm like an unmovable rock, unaffected.

"He... he actually held back?" Numerous experts who witnessed the battle from yesterday were astonished. It seemed Long Chen hadn't used his full strength yesterday.

"A bunch of narrow-minded people. Today, I'll show you how the so-called puny human race once stood at the pinnacle among all races," Long Chen roared.

"Boom!"

With a movement of his foot, half of the stage collapsed with a thunderous roar. A palm strike displayed a floating cross in Long Chen's palm, fiercely slamming towards Liu Qingyu.

"This move?" Seeing the cross in Long Chen's hand, Elder Xihua was moved.

"Ignorant fool, no matter what abilities you possess, in front of my Immortal Clan, you have no right to be arrogant." Liu Qingyu was taunted and roared furiously, also striking out with a palm. As his palm struck, flames of the Emperor surged, and thirteen dragon veins converged in his palm.

"Boom!"

As the two palms clashed, a loud explosion reverberated. People witnessed a huge cross emerge from Long Chen's palm, directly shattering Liu Qingyu's hand and fiercely crashing into him.

"Puff!"

The colossal cross struck Liu Qingyu's body, shattering it into pieces. Continuously, the cross violently slammed onto the stage, turning the entire stage into nothingness.

Only a broken corner of the huge stage remained, where Liu Qingyu's body, from his knees downward, was left behind.

At that moment, the entire place fell into silence. Everyone stared at the void, where Long Chen, with flowing long hair and surrounded by purple energy, looked as if possessed by

a Dragon Emperor. His eyes were filled with shock.

Even Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan were stunned. At this moment, the power of Long Chen's Dragon Blood was many times stronger than before.

What they didn't know was that previously, Long Chen had used a regular Dragon Blood Battle Form. But now, he had directly ignited his Dragon Blood, resulting in an incomparable power increase. Ultimately, in his rage, Long Chen had directly employed the Emperor's Blood Seal.

"This..."

The Immortal Clan's strong members couldn't believe their eyes. Long Chen had defeated Liu Qingyu with a single move, leaving only his lower limbs on the stage. Though not dead, he had been heavily wounded, incapable of fighting further.

"Huff."

Long Chen extended his hand, pointing at the spectator stands, scanning the area coldly. "The tenth-ranked has been defeated. What about the top nine? Come out together; I'm going to fight ten of you today."

With Long Chen's words, the entire place erupted into chaos.
