Chapter 6539 Eight Gates Open

“Boss, be careful, she has—!”

Xia Chen shouted a warning in alarm. Long Chen had no idea how terrifying Long Biluo had become under the full blessing of the Jiuli Tower.

But before he could finish, Long Chen’s palm met Long Biluo’s with a soft, almost weightless sound. There was not even the slightest ripple coming out of it.

Everyone was startled.

Long Biluo was in a furious state, so there was no way she was holding back. Then why had her blow landed so weakly?

A layer of violet qi coiled around Long Chen’s hand as their palms quivered against each other.

Shock flickered in Long Biluo’s eyes. On the other hand, Long Chen wasn’t even looking at her. His eyes were fixed on the drifting motes of dust beside him—the last remnants of Long Tianrui.

The ash floated away like a reluctant farewell, like a hand reaching for him one last time before dissolving into the wind.

Long Chen watched the dust scatter. Killing intent slowly filled his eyes, darkening them until black spots swirled within.

He then turned toward Long Biluo and grabbed hold of Long Biluo’s wrist like a pincer.

Just as Long Chen’s palm turned, people saw that his ☷ rune became ☰. His soft and absorptive force instantly became ferocious as he clenched his hand.

Blood burst.

Long Biluo’s right hand exploded into crimson mist. At this sight, cries of disbelief rang across the battlefield.

They had all seen it clearly. That tower rune on Long Biluo’s palm had shattered along with her hand.

“That is Long Chen’s essence rune!”

People remembered the two runes he had condensed earlier, and the veterans recognized their meaning. The rune ☰ represented Heaven, while the rune ☷ represented Earth.

With a turn of his hand, Long Chen turned Earth power into Heaven power, which signified that Long Chen could control Heaven Earth power.

A dragon’s roar tore across the battlefield.

Scales covered Long Chen’s feet, and he unleashed a kick that Long Biluo instinctively blocked with her left hand. That tower rune reignited. However, it shattered instantly—along with her entire left arm.

“Ah, Miss Biluo’s tower divine rune is less effective against Long Chen who possesses the Jiuli bloodline!” cried one of the Long clan’s experts.

They finally understood. The Jiuli Tower’s rune refused to suppress Long Chen. It recognized him as its kin.

“Long Chen, forget that bitch! You have to save Big Sister Zi Yan!” Tang Wan-er shouted. “She was taken by the Zither Sect! We don’t know if she’s still alive!”

Long Chen snapped out of his grief.

He turned toward the colossal Heavenly Devil Zither. And at the same time, he saw it—the Heaven Earth Cauldron’s merger.

As he could no longer sense the will of the Earth Cauldron, his heart sank. Their connection was fully severed.

Moments earlier, he had been perfecting his eight gates. It wasn’t something he could rush. The moment the danger grew too great, he had forcibly escaped his nirvanic rebirth.

But he was still too late.

He saw the countless experts around him. While most of them were from the outside world, there were also factions from the nine heavens. The flames of fury raged within him.

If it were just the outsiders, he would have nothing to say. But the nine heavens? The very people for whom he had shattered the heavenly scales, granting them the chance to grow stronger?

Due to this, the Earth Cauldron had taken heavy damage. And this was what he received in return: merciless slaughter.

Evilmoon condensed into its blade form on Long Chen’s back.

“Long Chen, sorry...”

“Evilmoon, since when do you apologize like this?” Long Chen murmured. “Rest. Leave this to me.”

He understood Evilmoon’s character all too well. As a lofty existence, Evilmoon would never apologize without reason. Moreover, he could already feel Evilmoon’s instability. Its core energy was fractured. It had clearly burned everything it had.

With a single step, Long Chen seemed to teleport in front of the Zither Sect’s group.

Prepared for the confrontation, Prince Chun Yang declared, “Long Chen, you have the blood of who knows how many innocent lifeforms on your hands. Today, the Zither Sect will find justice for all the people beneath the heavens!”

A zither projection appeared in front of Prince Chun Yang. Then, he formed hand seals, and the strings were pulled back. A radiant arrow formed from the runes he had condensed.

But before it could launch, Long Chen’s palm landed on it.

The arrow and projection shattered in an instant, and a ripple blasted outward.

Prince Chun Yang flew back, spitting blood.

“What?!”

Gasps rippled through the crowd. There were countless experts here. With their experience, they knew Prince Chun Yang should have had ample time to release his divine ability. And with his power, misjudging timing was impossible.

Yet, somehow, his divine ability was interrupted. It seemed that Long Chen’s movement art possessed some kind of mystery.

“Get in the Heavenly Music Devil Slaying Formation!” shouted Prince Chun Yang.

The Zither Sect’s disciples reacted quickly, forming hand seals in unison. Then, the giant Heavenly Devil Zither behind them quivered and shot a beam of light at Long Chen.

Long Chen’s soul shuddered under the pressure of a primal chaos divine item.

“Eight gates, open!” Long Chen roared.

A starry river unfurled behind him, and an eight-colored divine ring ascended. Eight astral gates burst open simultaneously.

Starlight condensed into star diagrams on Long Chen’s body, layering on top of each other to form a starry battle armor.

As astral energy erupted, the entire world shuddered. Long Chen directly unleashed a punch at that beam of light.
