Chapter 6938 Alternative Path
“As expected, my senses were not wrong. No matter how deep you hide it, you can’t hide the stench of Lord Brahma!” Long Chen mocked.
When Long Chen first met Li Wujiu, he sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.
He only understood that familiar feeling after they exchanged their first blows.
Thus, Long Chen summoned the Sovereign King Dragon Crown and used its deadly pressure to force Li Wujiu to reveal his strongest trump card.
The divine diagram trembled. Although it wasn’t the real Brahma Divine Diagram, it still carried Lord Brahma’s aura.
The diagram itself was blank, but 360 Brahma characters formed a large circle around its edge. A black-and-white rune sat at the center, giving off frightening energy that seemed desperate to escape, but the ring held it in place.
The 360 Brahma characters acted as a powerful formation, trapping the divine rune so it couldn’t break free.
This rune matched the one on Li Wujiu’s forehead. Now, his aura had surpassed the limits of the initial Sovereign Lord realm and was several times stronger.
Even more frightening, the divine rune in the Brahma Divine Diagram held much more energy than Li Wujiu alone possessed.
Moreover, this energy was more than just additive; it represented a qualitative change. Still, this power originated from Li Wujiu, not external sources.
Everyone was stunned, as this situation surpassed their understanding.
“Die!”
Li Wujiu let out a howl as the martial stage beneath him exploded. He threw a punch far stronger than any attack from the Dark Nether Dragon, Giant Barbarian, or Golden Wing Heaven Devil.
Long Chen answered with his own punch, unleashing his dragon blood power. When their fists met, the world seemed to shake. The martial stage trembled, and cracks spread everywhere.
The martial stage had been reinforced for Divine Sovereigns, yet it was still being torn apart. Wild waves of qi swept the skeletal army off their feet, sending them flying in all directions.
Now that they had lost their target, they began attacking indiscriminately. They even attacked Kui Yin and the others.
The situation on the martial stage descended into chaos.
On Li Chenggang’s side, just as fighting was about to start, countless vines appeared from thin air and destroyed the skeletons. This allowed Li Chenggang and his group to watch the battle in peace.
High above, Long Chen and Li Wujiu faced each other. In their last clash, they were evenly matched, and both were knocked back.
“I see. You seal a clone of yourself in your Brahma Divine Diagram and split your essence rune in two. Just like that, your true body remains outside, while your clone advances and makes breakthroughs in the Brahma Divine Diagram. Based on this aura, it must have already reached the late Sovereign Lord realm, right?” Long Chen guessed.
“Is there such a technique in this world?” someone asked.
The spectators were stunned.
This generation of disciples was waiting for the great era to arrive. No one dared to break through yet; instead, they focused on gathering strength and building their foundations.
However, Li Wujiu chose a different path. He let his clone cultivate inside the divine diagram, transferring the power from its breakthroughs into his own essence rune.
This way, his real body could share the power gained by his clone’s breakthroughs. Even more shocking, his essence rune remained unactivated, meaning he had managed to fool the Heavenly Daos.
When the great era arrived, he could rush straight into the Divine Sovereign realm, and his clone would be his greatest help in making this breakthrough. It was a strategy that defied the heavens.
Even Sect Master Liuyun and the others were shocked. If all the Painting Sect’s top geniuses had this skill, the Calligraphy Sect wouldn’t stand a chance. At that moment, he understood why Li Wujiu had Kui Yin surrender as soon as Li Chenggang summoned his manifestation.
Li Wujiu wanted to find out if Li Chenggang had also split his essence rune in two and was cultivating a clone.
Since Li Wujiiu practiced this method himself, he could quickly tell whether someone was following the same path. Once he saw that Li Chenggang was using the usual method, he calmed down.
If Long Chen hadn’t pushed Li Wujiu so far and forced him to use this move, no one would have discovered the truth.
The Calligraphy Sect’s leaders were furious and embarrassed. They felt foolish for not seeing through the Painting Sect’s plan, but Long Chen had exposed their scheme right away, showing a huge difference between their experience.
“Long Chen, you’ve forced me to reveal this trump card. Do you know what this means?” Li Wujiu asked, his voice coming from the cracks between his teeth. Every word dripped with bloodlust.
“It signifies that you have no other trump cards,” Long Chen replied.
“Wrong! It means that you’re dead now!” roared Li Wujiu.
Li Wujiu suddenly attacked with a claw. Long Chen dodged aside, and the spot where he had stood exploded, leaving a huge hole in space. If he had been even a little slower, he would have been hit.
“Did you think a late-stage Sovereign Lord clone would be enough? Unless your clone becomes a Divine Sovereign, you still can’t beat me!” Long Chen scoffed.
As Li Wujiu attacked again, Long Chen swept his leg out like a whip.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s dragon blood flared up. Their attacks clashed again, and both were knocked back.
The martial stage shook as space twisted wildly. The spectators cried out, unable to see through the swirling chaos.
All they could hear were explosions, and they could only barely make out two figures fighting. They also saw bones flying everywhere. The attacks were so fierce that the skeletons were being shattered.
No one knew whether all the skeletons from the spatial gate had emerged or whether the gate had been destroyed by the battle, but it had disappeared.
Lei Linger, Huo Linger, and Jing Jing had retreated to Li Chenggang’s side. Then, Huo Linger raised a flame barrier to protect everyone.
More explosions echoed, but those inside the barrier felt no pressure and watched the battle closely.
The two fighters traded more than a hundred blows in an instant, each one incredibly powerful.
“So this is all a late-stage Sovereign Lord can do? If that’s it, it’s time to finish this! Divine Dragon Pull!” Long Chen shouted and lifted his hand.
A dragon rune appeared on his palm, and a strong force pulled Li Wujiu toward him.
But before Li Wujiu could reach him, Long Chen had changed his hand seal and struck with his palm.
“Sovereign Blood Seal—God Slaying Cross!”
BOOM!
The void shattered, filling the air with countless runic fragments. Blood spurted from Li Wujiu’s mouth as he was sent flying.
Li Wujiu was now drenched in blood. He had barely survived the last attack.
With wild eyes, he lifted his head and roared, “Long Chen, even if I die, I’ll take you with me!”
BOOM!
The Brahma Divine Diagram behind him exploded, and a giant figure appeared.
“Impossible! He is still in the Sovereign Lord realm! How can he have a heaven-earth law manifestation?!” Li Chenggang cried out in shock.
