Chapter 5490 Fighting the Silver Hair Void Crusher

“You’ve finally shown yourself. For one of Lord Brahma’s eight great divine commanders to stoop so low as to deal with a mere Heaven Saint like me, well done, well done,” Long Chen said, clapping mockingly as he looked at the Silver Hair Void Crusher.

Long Chen knew the Silver Hair Void Crusher had arrived this late because he was scheming something. What he hadn’t expected was the extent of his cunning—using the resonant dragon race’s patriarch as nothing more than a sacrificial pawn.

“One of the eight great divine commanders?!” exclaimed one of the dragon race experts.

The senior generation of the Dragon Domain was aghast. Their expressions shifted dramatically at the revelation.

Lord Brahma’s eight great divine commanders were legendary existences that had participated in the primal chaos war. How could one of them show up here?

Long Chen had deliberately withheld information about the Silver Hair Void Crusher. There were two reasons for this: first, revealing it would only spread panic and add complications; second, Long Chen couldn’t fully trust the remaining higher-ups of the Dragon Domain. He feared that under such immense pressure, their unity might crumble entirely.

Only now did Mo Ying and the other race leaders realize that the powerful enemy Long Chen had been waiting for was actually the Silver Hair Void Crusher.

Mo Yang and his peers were stunned as well. Since they were born in the ancient era, they knew much more about Lord Brahma and his eight great divine commanders. They knew what this status signified.

On the other hand, the recent era’s dragon experts had not heard of the eight great divine commanders. However, when they saw so many ancient experts trembling, their hearts clenched.

The Silver Hair Void Crusher was still in the nine-vein Human Emperor realm, but now, a trace of Divine Emperor’s aura radiated from him. In this state, he was effectively a half-step Divine Emperor. Adding to the horror, he had just absorbed Ying Bufei’s power before their eyes, shocking all the battle-hardened onlookers.

“You’re too crafty. This time, I won’t let you escape. Today, no one can save you,” declared the Silver Hair Void Crusher, looking at Long Chen confidently.

“This is already our third encounter. The first time, you

ran, alright? The second time, you ambushed me when I was exhausted. Fine, I’ll admit it—I ran. We’re even now. But this time, I feel like we should settle things once and for all. We’ll decide who lives or dies,” said Long Chen, cracking his neck. Countless stars swirled around him.

The Silver Hair Void Crusher threw his head back and laughed, his voice like thunder. “Hahaha! Decide who lives or dies? Bold words for a stray dog clinging to life! The first time, you got lucky. The second time, if it weren’t for that meddling brat from the Wind God’s line, you’d already be a corpse. And now, here you stand, pretending to have the upper hand? Hand over what I want, and I might just let you keep a shred of your dignity as you leave this world.”

“You sound confident,” said Long Chen, his grin sharpening. “I’m confident too. You think I’m dead meat today. But I think you’re not leaving the Dragon Domain alive. Let’s see whose intuition is more reliable, shall we?”

The fighting had come to a stop other than Netherdragon Tianfeng’s side. All eyes turned to Long Chen and the Silver Hair Void Crusher.

The resonant dragon race and bone dragon race’s experts exchanged glances, their faces pale. They didn’t know if they should loathe the Silver Hair Void Crusher or fear him. He represented Brahma Pill Valley, an ally on paper, yet he had killed Ying Bufei without hesitation.

For now, they had no choice but to rely on him. However, amidst their swirling emotions, one feeling stood out above the rest: fear.

Now they started to regret it. Why had they betrayed the Dragon Domain? What had been the purpose of it all? The higher-ups of both their races had been slaughtered in the process. Did they truly believe that they, the remnants, had the capability to unite the Dragon Domain?

And if that could be achieved, wouldn’t it signify a fundamental weakness in the Dragon Domain? Could a fractured and weakened Dragon Domain even hope to withstand the invasion of devil creatures?

In that case, the Dragon Domain would become prey to the devil creatures, devoured and forgotten, or they would be reduced to subordinates of Brahma Pill Valley, forever dependent on their so-called “protection.” There was no third path, no glimmer of hope.

Neither of these two paths aligned with their original ambitions. Now, unease gnawed at their insides, and regret weighed heavily on their souls. Yet regret was meaningless; there was no going back. They no longer knew what kind of future they even wanted.

Guo Ran, Yue Zifeng, and their comrades continued their fierce struggle against Netherdragon Tianfeng. Sword Qi tore through the heavens, splitting the void itself, while dazzling runes filled the air. The Netherworld’s Grand Dao runes erupted incessantly, creating a chaotic spectacle of destruction.

Yet no one was paying attention to that battle. Every pair of eyes was locked onto Long Chen and the Silver Hair Void Crusher.

Though most of the gathered experts had never seen the Silver Hair Void Crusher before, and many didn’t even know his true identity, from the terrified expressions of the few elders who did, they could tell he was the most terrifying existence here.

“The nine star lineage is nothing but a bunch of self-confident fools,” sneered the Silver Hair Void Crusher, his voice dripping with scorn. “If they had any sense, they wouldn’t have been reduced to prey for us to hunt down. You are just another stray dog hiding behind others, yet have the audacity to act arrogant before me?”

Despite knowing it was a provocation, Long Chen seethed in fury when Netherdragon Tianfeng insulted the nine star line. The stars around him started shaking violently.

“Today, if I let you leave the Dragon Domain alive, I’ll write my name backward!” roared Long Chen.

The starry sky above his head started to circulate, flowing faster and faster. As they did, endless astral energy poured into Long Chen’s body, and his aura rose crazily.

The Silver Hair Void Crusher sneered, “Fool, you still don’t comprehend what it means to stand before one of the eight great divine commanders. I have already absorbed Ying Bufei’s power and touched upon the Emperor realm. With this trace of Emperor might, I will teach you the true meaning of despair.”

BOOM!

The Silver Hair Void Crusher formed a series of hand seals, and with a thunderous explosion, an enormous throne appeared behind him. Its oppressive presence covered the battlefield, suffocating even the Dragon Emperors.

Infused with a trace of Emperor power, the divine throne’s aura was countless times more overwhelming than when Long Chen had first encountered it.

It was clear that the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s newfound strength allowed him to draw far more power from his divine throne. This throne was unmatched, an emblem of supremacy so absolute that even the world’s natural laws seemed to bow before it.

The Divine Commander Blade appeared in the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s hand, while Dragonbone Evilmoon appeared in Long Chen’s. Both of them stared at each other with boundless killing intent in their eyes.

“Ignite, my starry sea!” Long Chen roared, transforming the stars behind him into countless shooting stars. The astral fire illuminated the battlefield like a second sun.

With this ignition, Long Chen’s aura surged to an unprecedented peak. It was so great that even the mighty Dragon Emperors felt their knees buckle and their bones groan under its pressure.

“The Dragon Domain is sinking!” exclaimed Mo Ying.

“What kind of power is this!?” Chi Wufeng shouted in shock, his surprise mirrored by his peers.

From even a great distance, Long Chen’s astral energy felt like a wave threatening to crush their very souls.

For the first time, the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s confidence cracked, his expression twisting in disbelief. “Primal Chaos Starry Sea?! Impossible!”

Long Chen’s overwhelming aura stirred something deep within the Silver Hair Void Crusher, evoking a memory from the distant past—a power he had thought lost to time. But sadly, Long Chen gave him no time to process his shock. Long Chen pointed Evilmoon up to the sky and channeled starlight into it.

“Seven forms in one!”

With a ferocious roar, Long Chen swung Evilmoon down, his aura shaking the world.
