Chapter 7239 Power Struggle

The attacks of billions of experts slammed into that giant shield. The result was much like the result of a sun exploding; terrifying qi waves unfurled, and the entire world seemed to change color.

Seeing those apocalyptic qi waves headed their way, Miao Yin raised her hands to form seals. However, Long Chen stepped forward before she could do anything.

“You can all rest. Leave the rest to me.”

He casually swung Evilmoon at the qi waves, and this casual swing unleashed a titanic saber-image. At the same time, the golden lotus in his Dantian quivered. The saber-image Long Chen had just produced was covered in a golden glow.

A shocking sight unfolded before the viewers. These qi waves, which contained unmatched law power and Grand Dao power, were cleanly cut apart! The waves surged past their flanks, and the astral winds that followed felt less like winds blowing and more like mountains crashing into them. They felt like if they relaxed the slightest bit, they would be crushed.

“Heavens, what kind of terrifying power is this?”

They had previously followed Miao Yin into battle. They had bathed in the blood of these outsider devils. They had felt so heroic that even death didn’t seem frightening. But in front of this overwhelming power, that feeling disappeared, and the fear of death gradually returned.

All cultivators thirsted for power, but they also revered power. Thus, when someone’s power reached a certain height, they couldn’t help feeling afraid. Yet the very next moment, one casual swing of Long Chen’s saber had cut this fearsome power apart.

Miao Yin and Zi Yan were both shocked as well. They hadn’t even realized that Long Chen had managed to advance another level. Although he was still a Sovereign Lord, his power could no longer be measured in Sovereign Lord terms. It felt like this world’s laws could no longer bind him.

The joint army in the distance was taking heavy losses. Many of them were directly killed by the backlash, and others were sent tumbling away.

“In front of the Grand Dao’s power, you are all ants. Ants can just live out their inferior lives and be happy with that, but you had to offend the Heaven Devil race. Death is your only fate!”

The black-robed man formed hand seals, and that giant figure behind him followed his seals. It then opened its mouth, and black flames gushed out. A wave of heat set the world on fire—this was a Grand Dao flame, something that a physical body could not possibly endure! Everything other than Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapons would be incinerated.

“Run!”

Screams rang out from all sides. These flames gave everyone an overwhelming sense of impending death. It felt like the gates of hell had just opened and were about to swallow them. All they could do was run.

However, no matter how fast they ran, they were not as fast as those flames, and within just moments, it looked like they were all about to be devoured. But just then, the space around them twisted. They all vanished, and they only reappeared once the black flames had passed by.

When they reappeared, they could still feel the terrifying heat left by those flames. It was a heat that could ignite their very souls. They couldn’t help being shocked.

When Long Chen saw this, he smiled approvingly, as if he had expected it. The various disciples that had joined his cause also sighed in relief. Although they looked down on the fleeing people, those people still came from their sects, races, and families. If they could have done something, they would have, but they didn’t have that power. The fact that their sect and family members had escaped unscathed let them sigh in relief.

But then, they frowned. Just who was it that had saved them? Who could possibly save all of them so effortlessly from such a terrifying attack? Such a powerful existence would have to be a Heavenly Sovereign, right? Did that mean that there had been a Heavenly Sovereign watching all along?

Thinking of that, they couldn’t help shivering. This looked like a battle for the karmic luck dragon manifestation, but in truth, it was the opening battle for the war between the nine heavens and the outsider world.

If the nine heavens had a Heavenly Sovereign present and this person didn’t take action, then the outsiders probably had a Heavenly Sovereign here as well that was watching and keeping the former in check. In other words... they had wiped out the outsider devils in front of a Heavenly Sovereign from the outside world?

The very thought sent chills down their spines. It now felt as if a pair of icy eyes were eyeing their backs.

The black-robed man narrowed his eyes and snorted. “The nine heavens have really declined. It’s rather sad that you didn’t produce anyone decent after all these years. Back then, the Star Master was truly powerful. I wonder if you’ll have the face to see the Star Master once you’re all dead.”

Clearly, these words were for the person who had secretly taken action just now. He was also aware that a Heavenly Sovereign was watching, and this Heavenly Sovereign didn’t want to watch all these people be killed. However, that was the most they could do. There was no way they would attack him.

Of course, if one side made a move, the other side would also act in response. However, the new era had only just come. Both sides were still only testing each other out. Heavenly Sovereigns would not start clashing so easily.

Just then, Long Chen slowly walked over. “Hey, it seems that you’ve forgotten something!”

Miao Yin was once more stomping on her drum, leading everyone behind Long Chen. Everyone was now nervous. Although knowing that the enemy Heavenly Sovereigns wouldn’t make a move on them lightly, there was still always a chance, wasn’t there? They had to be on guard.

The black-robed man also slowly turned towards Long Chen. “Now that you mention it, I really did forget you. You claim to be the number one figure of the human race, correct? You haven’t fled yet?”

The giant figure behind him turned with him. When it faced the incoming disciples of the nine heavens, their nerves instantly tightened and they turned stiff. A terrifying pressure enveloped them. Only now did they realize what kind of terrifying pressure those people had been under just now. This fellow was definitely a monster!

Long Chen seemed completely indifferent to this pressure, however; his gait was completely unaffected. Meanwhile, Miao Yin was leading the disciples along the edge of the battlefield, in an arc that ended next to the joint army of the nine heavens.

Those disciples were startled when they noticed it. “Miss Miao Yin, we—”

“We are done here. Our battle is over. It’s up to the young master now!” said Miao Yin.

“Long Chen is going to fight him alone?! But that man is an absolute monster! He also has two types of Grand Dao power...”

Brighteye was also shocked. With her eyes, she could see better than anyone how terrifying that black-robed man was. To her, he was unbeatable.

“It doesn’t matter how strong the enemy is. As long as they are in the same realm, no one can beat Long Chen!” declared Zi Yan confidently, looking at Long Chen.

When Long Chen reached the center of the battlefield, he finally came to a stop and looked at his opponent.

“You really shouldn’t wear black. You can’t pull it off!”
