As Long Chen summoned the Seven-Colored Emperor Flame, an overwhelming pressure exploded forth, shattering the void. The very fabric of space collapsed under its might.
If the Purple Blood Emperor Flame was like a gentle steed, then the Seven-Colored Emperor Flame was a raging wild bull. Though tamed, once provoked, its power turned utterly ferocious.
BOOM!
With a single punch, Long Chen shattered the void, tearing through countless laws, his fist carrying the power to annihilate everything as it smashed toward Xiao Li.
Xiao Li roared, his forehead flashing with divine runes—the same ancient sigil that glowed in the eyes of the divine beast in his celestial vision.
BZZT!
With a single hand seal, endless blood energy erupted from Xiao Li’s body. Countless scarlet chains shot through the void, weaving into a massive net before him.
"So what if you have two Emperor Flames? Before the power of laws, you are nothing!" Xiao Li bellowed, pouring his bloodline power into the chains.
Runic symbols of absolute law surged across the net, locking down heaven and earth. The oppressive aura of this formation was enough to plunge anyone into despair.
BANG!
Long Chen’s fist crashed into the net. The entire formation trembled violently, seven-colored flames raging, but he was forced several steps back.
"Long Chen, no matter how strong you are, before the power of laws, you're still an ant! Laws are absolute—you can't break them with brute force! Now, die!"
With a furious roar, Xiao Li changed his hand seal. The chain net surged forward, smashing toward Long Chen.
BANG!
Another punch—yet the rune-etched net remained unbroken.
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, the once unyielding net softened, wrapping around Long Chen like an unbreakable cocoon.
Seeing this, a sinister smile crept onto Xiao Li’s face as he formed another seal.
"Bind!"
With a single command, the massive net contracted instantly, crushing inward and sealing Long Chen inside.
"Hand over the Kunlun Cauldron, and I’ll give you a complete corpse." Xiao Li’s blood aura surged as he continued tightening the net, shrinking it from ten thousand miles wide to just a hundred feet. Even the Seven-Colored Emperor Flame was constricted within.
Long Chen sneered. "A mere incomplete law formation? You think this can trap me?"
With a thunderous clap, he formed a hand seal.
BZZT! BZZT! BZZT!
The Seven-Colored Emperor Flame burst forth, its power soaring. The blood-colored chains trembled under the force. Not only did they stop contracting, but cracks even began spreading outward.
Xiao Li's pupils shrank in disbelief. Even after burning his lifeblood to activate his innate divine sigil, he still couldn't suppress Long Chen!
"What kind of monster is this guy?! Brute force… against divine laws?! Impossible!"
Desperation seized him. Xiao Li burned more of his bloodline, pouring everything into his divine sigil. He had to kill Long Chen—there was no turning back.
But Long Chen merely laughed coldly.
"So this is what you call ‘the power of laws’? If that’s all, then… it’s over."
BOOM!
A world-shaking explosion rang out as the Emperor Flame detonated. The net of chains—once deemed unbreakable—shattered into nothingness.
PUH!
Xiao Li vomited blood, his body sent hurtling through the air.
THOOM!
Long Chen stepped forward, his foot slamming into the void with a divine resonance. A rippling seven-colored wave spread outward, shaking the heavens.
From within the collapsing space, Long Chen emerged. His entire body burned with Seven-Colored Emperor Flames, exuding a power so terrifying that even he felt a trace of fear.
Before, he couldn't ignite this flame at will—its uncontrollable nature meant that even he would be devoured by its strength. But now, though it burned his energy at an alarming rate, it unleashed devastation beyond imagination.
THOOM.
Long Chen took another step, seven-colored ripples expanding once more.
THOOM. THOOM. THOOM.
Each step echoed like the march of the Reaper, burrowing into the soul, awakening primal fear.
He wasn’t doing this for intimidation. He wasn’t posturing.
The reality was… after igniting the Emperor Flame, his body felt unbearably heavy—as if carrying an entire mountain. Every move required immense effort.
But it didn’t matter.
Raw power was all he needed.
"If you have anything left, use it now. This is your last chance." Long Chen’s voice was ice-cold.
Xiao Li clenched his fists. His teeth ground together, veins bulging on his forehead. His face twisted in a grotesque mix of fear, fury, jealousy, and unwillingness.
"You think brute force alone can defy the power of divine laws?! You're wrong! You will still die today!"
BOOM!
Xiao Li roared, his forehead sigil igniting in flames. His bloodline burned, and behind him, his celestial divine beast vision also burst into fire.
BZZT! BZZT! BZZT!
The divine beast suddenly split apart, transforming into hundreds of ancient divine birds, their auras exuding primordial, boundless ferocity.
"Even if my divine sigil is incomplete… I can still summon the power of my ancestors!"
Xiao Li’s eyes blazed with madness.
"My Dark Night Divine Owl Clan carries our ancestors' blood! These phantoms are my forefathers! They bless me! What do you humans have? Nothing but weakness!"
With a savage grin, Xiao Li drew his warbow.
BZZT!
As he pulled the bowstring taut, a divine beast vanished, transforming into an arrow radiating ancient, indomitable might.
"Burn, life force! Bless me, ancestors! Dark Night Sky-Sundering Arrow!"
The arrow whistled forward, aimed straight at Long Chen’s heart.
Long Chen’s eyes flashed coldly.
"If we aren’t strong, how long can our ancestors protect us? If we are strong, why would we need them at all? You pathetic feathered beast—what do you know of human power?"
With a thunderous punch, Long Chen unleashed unstoppable Emperor Flame might.
BOOM!
The arrow exploded, but Long Chen staggered hundreds of miles back, his fists trembling uncontrollably.
Xiao Li’s face went pale.
Long Chen… had just punched apart a divine ancestor’s power!
THOOM. THOOM. THOOM.
Like a specter of death, Long Chen walked forward once more.
"I don’t believe it!" Xiao Li howled, unleashing a storm of arrows.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Fists clashed with arrows, flames and laws exploding. When the dust settled, Long Chen stood bloodied, his flames dimming.
Xiao Li should have counterattacked.
But he couldn’t move.
His energy was completely drained.
"I’ll be back… Once my divine sigil is complete… I will kill you!"
Long Chen shook his head. "No, you won’t."
SHNK!
A black war halberd pierced through Xiao Li’s back, ending him instantly.
