Chapter 5853: Emperor's Flame Summons Soul

"How is this possible?"

The formidable members of the Undying Clan couldn't believe their eyes.

This move was one of the strongest techniques of the Undying Clan. Once ensnared by it, unless the opponent's strength was ten times greater than that of Liu Rujiao, there was no way to break free. 

Long Chen was also a Saint-level powerhouse, and his power couldn't possibly surpass Liu Rujiao by such an extent. Yet, he managed to break through her strongest supernatural ability.

Endless willow branches burst and turned into powder, scattering in the air. Long Chen stood amidst the swirling dust, still holding the pose of snapping his fingers. Around his wrist, the fires of Yin and Yang intertwined, faintly revealing the shifting of the sun and the moon within that small space.

"Huoling'er, your progress truly humbles your big brother," Long Chen sighed, observing the sun and moon shifting on his wrist.

This little one was truly brilliant. Long Chen hadn't completely comprehended their father's teachings, but Huoling'er had already surpassed him.

The fire of the sun and the fire of the moon intertwined, displaying a phenomenon of the sun and moon. 

Most importantly, the fires of Yin and Yang condensed without dispersing. In the moment of bursting the cocoon, they swiftly retracted without any wastage of power. This indicated Huoling'er's mastery of this move, reaching a level of complete control.

Such a terrifying strike could flow as smoothly and effortlessly as breathing, even astonishing Long Chen. Up to this point, whether it was the power of the dragon's blood, the rainbow supreme blood, the power of the stars, or the easier-to-control purple blood power, none could reach the level Huoling'er had attained. This girl was defying all odds.

"Giggle, Long Chen, controlling so much power consumes so much energy, while Ling'er only needs to control the flames. Besides, I am fire itself, so it's only natural for me to achieve this," Huoling'er's playful voice echoed in Long Chen's mind.

Evidently, Long Chen's praise greatly excited Huoling'er. Clearly, she had long wanted to surprise Long Chen, and today, the opportunity finally came. Her reaction pleased her immensely.

"This is impossible..."

Liu Rujiao looked at the flying debris, an expression of disbelief on her face. She couldn't accept that her strongest move had been broken.

This move, even if used against the top-ranked Liu Minghao, would only result in a stalemate, ultimately relying on the amount of the source power to win.

Seeing Liu Rujiao's unwillingness, Long Chen calmly said, "You've always seen the realm of the Human Emperor as a shackle, considering everything from the Human race as trash, and the Human form as a disgrace. But you fail to see how your bias against the Human race has cost you countless precious opportunities.

The fact that the Human race can stand at the peak among all races is not incidental. The Human race possesses countless shining aspects, yet you turn a blind eye to them.

I don't know why the Lord of the Nine Stars diverted from the natural course, forcibly imprinting the realm of the Human Emperor. But I believe he wouldn't use this realm to shackle all races because, with his personality, he'd scorn such actions."

Upon hearing Long Chen's words, Lady Xihu's pupils slightly contracted; she seemed to have realized something.

Long Chen continued, "The Human race has many shortcomings, but there's one thing we have that you don't: open-mindedness, inclusivity, and a thirst for knowledge. We admire the strong, and while doing so, we remain open to learning.

Even from our mortal enemies, we seek to learn because we understand that a stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade. Weapons themselves aren't inherently good or bad; it depends on who wields them. In the hands of a villain, they'll plunder and cause chaos, but in the hands of a noble person, they can slay demons, pacify the world. 

The undead clan, however, persists in their beliefs, self-sealing their own progress. If this continues, the glory of the undead clan will forever be a thing of the past."

"Shut up! The great Undying Clan isn't something you can critique!" Liu Rujiao's words enraged.

"Snap!" Her hands joined, and suddenly, a leafy pattern appeared on her forehead, followed by golden flames enveloping her.

"Liu Rujiao, have you gone mad? Stop this!" Liu Minghao, the top-ranked member, couldn't help but roar.

This move, among all the Emperor Miao powerhouses, only Liu Minghao and Liu Rujiao could execute - the Emperor's Flame Soul Summon.

By using their own life as fuel, they activated the Emperor's Flame, summoning the spirits of their ancestors to boost their power to an unprecedented level.

Within the body of every Undying Clan member lay the blessings of their ancestors in the form of runes. When an Undying Clan member was pushed to the brink, they would use this move.

However, the cost of using this move was immense. The spirits of the ancestors had no consciousness. Once summoned, they would battle wildly, rapidly draining the life fire of the practitioner - a self-destructive move.

"Madam Xihu," Liu Minghao looked at Lady Xihu, who remained silent.

"Boom!"

The stage trembled continuously, then exploded, revealing a colossal wooden giant standing upon it.

The moment the wooden giant appeared, Liu Rujiao's body floated to the gemstone-like forehead of the wooden giant, as if embedded within it.

"Boom!"

As Liu Rujiao was embedded in the wooden giant's forehead, its lifeless body suddenly burst with vitality, followed by an immense divine might sweeping in all directions.

The terrifying pressure made the Emperor Miao-level powerhouses feel breathless, as if their bodies were about to be torn apart. People were astonished; what level of power was this?

"Buzz!"

However, despite the frightening strikes, they failed to hit Long Chen. People were amazed to see that Long Chen had already arrived in front of Liu Rujiao, his hand reaching towards her forehead.

At that moment, the faces of the onlookers changed drastically.
