Chapter 6887 One Sword Slays Devil
A gentle voice echoed through the world. The translucent figure was a woman, but she was so blurred and faded that no one could see her face.
Her voice sounded young and gentle, giving the impression of a demure woman.
When Yan Sheng saw that woman, he gnashed his teeth furiously.
“You bitch, you were an ant in front of me! If I wasn’t injured back then, do you think a little half-step Heavenly Sovereign like you could plot against me?!”
That woman snorted. “You killed my two older brothers and my younger sister. Are you seriously telling me I need to fight fairly against a vile creature like you?”
Turning to Long Chen, she said, “Little brother, I’m already worn out after fighting him for so many centuries. But the heavens do have eyes and let me meet you. Your Earth Dao encompasses all aspects of the earth, including my earth energy. I ask for your help. I will give you my full power. Use it to eliminate him and put an end to this. Then, I can finally find peace.”
“Senior, save your energy to find a suitable heir to inherit your legacy. I can handle him myself,” Long Chen replied.
She shook her head and said, “Everyone I cared about is gone, so nothing ties me to this world anymore. If not for my deep hatred of this devil, I wouldn’t have survived this long. My cultivation base was a blessing from the heavens. After I die, it will return to the heavens and find someone new to be with.
“This hatred has kept me bound for many years, and it's very painful. The only way to be free is by personally killing him. However, my strength has been depleted over the years, so I can only place my hopes in you. Please... let me die in peace,"
Even though her voice was gentle, every word was filled with pain and hatred. She took on this burden alone to avenge her family. With only a half-step Heavenly Sovereign cultivation base, she had managed to bring down a Heavenly Sovereign devil.
However, the fight dragged on for years, their wills wearing each other down. She was a bit weaker and would eventually lose. Even when the Deep Earth Sect arrived, she chose death over giving her cultivation base to evil people like them.
Then Long Chen appeared and woke her from her long sleep. At first, he wanted to help her find a worthy heir to inherit her power. But she was in too much pain to think about that. After years of suffering, all she wanted was to be free.
“In that case...” Long Chen muttered, suddenly extending his hand.
The next moment, Chi Yutong felt her sword twist, and it flew out. Long Chen caught the sword and gazed at Yan Sheng coldly.
“In that case... let us decide things in one blow! Earth Law!”
Long Chen’s violet qi blazed wildly. His ☷ essence rune suddenly appeared on the ground and covered the entire battlefield.
BOOM!
The ground shook and rumbled. It felt like gravity had vanished as rocks slowly floated upward.
“This power...!”
Everyone suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of terror and fled further.
Even Li Chenggang and Zheng Wenlong looked alarmed. They pulled everyone back, knowing that if they got caught in that attack, they wouldn’t survive.
The earth shook. The air seemed to ripple like water. When the rocks floated high enough, they burst apart. None of the experts had ever seen anything like it.
As the ☷ essence rune flashed, more and more power was sucked out of the ground.
Long Chen crouched, gathering all that power inside himself. Suddenly, the whole world went quiet.
At that moment, the ancient woman figure lifted her hands and formed hand seals. Her body burst into flames, and runes flew into a five-pointed star diagram.
The five-pointed star slowly merged into the sword.
“Damn you! What can a half-step Heavenly Sovereign’s discarnate soul and a Sovereign Lord possibly do?! Devil Flame Brings Ruin! Heavenly Devil Addiction!” shouted the devil possessing Yan Sheng.
Yan Sheng’s Blood Qi formed a huge devil face behind him. All of a sudden, black runes appeared in the sky and gathered inside it. Yan Sheng was building up power as well.
“I don’t focus on swordsmanship, but my brother is a Sword Dao master. Today, I will use his sword style to decide victory or defeat,” Long Chen said as he tightened his grip on the sword's hilt.
As Long Chen cast a cold look at Yan Sheng, a massive whirlpool formed beneath his feet. Infinite energy gathered into his hand. The flame runes on the sword’s sheath ignited, and Long Chen’s entire body was engulfed in flames.
“The earth is forged through fire. Metal emerges from the earth. In my name, Long Chen, I command the ten thousand laws to merge into my sword...”
Long Chen finally unsheathed his sword and cut an arc of light across the sky.
“Wavecutter!”
As Long Chen shouted, the Sword Qi seemed to come alive. It drew in all the laws of heaven and earth, and a giant blade slashed toward Yan Sheng.
“Devil Swallows the Heavens!”
Yan Sheng also finished storing up energy. The devil face transformed into a giant head, opening its mouth and baring its fangs toward Long Chen’s Sword Qi.
The devil head bit down on the Sword Qi, but its fangs shattered. The Sword Qi sliced the head cleanly in two.
“Impossible!” Yan Sheng roared in anger just before the Sword Qi struck him, turning him into blood mist and wiping out his soul.
The terrifying blade kept going, slicing a huge tear through the world. A massive void was left behind, as if a sharp blade had cut through cloth.
Yan Sheng was dead, and the outsider devil’s soul was gone too. Everyone stared at the terrifying crack in the world.
The original tear in the sky above Broken Heaven Mountain had faded when the two souls appeared. But now, an even bigger and scarier crack had formed. Long Chen had left a tear in the world larger and more frightening than before.
Long Chen’s Sword Dao will lingered in that crack. Just looking at it made people feel as if their eyes were being stabbed.
This slash has reached about ninety percent of Zifeng’s sword intent!
Long Chen felt a bit of pride as he looked at the crack. Then, Long Chen looked down at his sword and saw a five-pointed star branded on the blade.
“This girl’s luck really is good,” Long Chen sighed.
He had combined his full sword intent with the senior’s earth energy to create this mark.
In other words, Chi Yutong could use this technique in the future, but its power would depend on her own strength.
Long Chen sheathed his sword and turned to look at Ye Zifan, who was pale and shaking in the distance.
“So, do you want to fight me too?” Long Chen asked.
