Chapter 686: Ancestors
Long Chen looked at Zhao Danchen coolly, like he was looking at a dead person!
Zhao Danchen had the Ancient Demon Corpse burrow into the ground again, then casually put the Ancient Demon Flag away to fight Long Chen in a true duel. He did not want to use the Ancient Demon Corpse again.
Long Chen was currently in his peak condition.
“This is a fair fight now. Will you be a match for me under such conditions?” Zhao Danchen chuckled coldly. After he spoke, everyone saw him charge at Long Chen!
The true battle was triggered in a second!
Although Long Chen did not show it, he knew he had to kill Zhao Danchen as quickly as possible!
His dense, blood-red scales sparkled beneath the sun!
Whoosh! The blood-red Long Chen and the golden Zhao Danchen met each other instantly, and they both launched their attacks. Long Chen’s Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, Zhao Danchen’s Golden Divine Punch and Yellow Martial Seal all collided violently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!Craters appeared on the ground as their battle caused many explosions, throwing dust into the air that clouded the crowd’s vision. Just like the fight between Zhao Wuji and Feng Xuan, only the people on Xiao Lin’s level could see them. They could not tell who was winning!
“Nine Heavens Strike!” Long Chen used this attack on a scale that surpassed Long Shan. Nine dragons flew at Zhao Danchen; it was a quick but powerful attack!
All nine dragon projections flew, and they formed claw seals that instantly arrived in front of Zhao Danchen’s eyes!
Boom!
One after another, the devastating blows drowned Zhao Danchen completely. Dust flew everywhere, so no one could see what was happening. But a golden ray burst through the smoke, and a red shadow shot out too!
That red shadow was Long Chen! After dodging Zhao Danchen’s Golden Eye of Annihilation, he chuckled and turned into a red shadow again to pounce on Zhao Danchen!
“You madman!” Zhao Danchen was frustrated at Long Chen’s vigorous fighting style; it was as if he would not stop attacking until his opponent had collapsed. In a difficult situation, the most aggressive party usually won. That was why Zhao Danchen was suppressed and found himself at a disadvantage the moment the duel began!
They had equal amounts of essence, but Long Chen had more battle experience than him. Although Long Chen was from a small town, he had ten times more battle experience than Zhao Danchen. Zhao Danchen had always fought people who were weaker than him, and he never had a mortal enemy. Long Chen was constantly fighting people stronger than himself!
A person’s experience forged from real battle was a huge factor in determining the result of a duel. This was the case for the fight between them. Furthermore, the Willow Step he had from the Huangfu clan also benefited him greatly!
Zhao Danchen had to block Long Chen’s attacks, but Long Chen could easily dodge Zhao Danchen’s attacks using this technique!
There were no body combat techniques that could beat Willow Step in the Divine Martial Empire!
Whoosh!
Zhao Danchen’s punch blew Long Chen away, and Long Chen laughed once more.
“Wind God Kick, Typhoon Style!” His blood-red leg turned into countless whips slashing at Zhao Danchen. Zhao Danchen’s scalp went numb when he saw the densely packed whips!
“Yellow Martial Seal!” Zhao Danchen could not stand the feeling of being suppressed. He consolidated his energy into a gigantic Yellow Martial Seal to blast Long Chen away!
Long Chen was unharmed because of Willow Step!
The two finally separated after nonstop exchanges!
But Long Chen still looked fine. Despite the fierce look on his face, his actions were breezy. On the other hand, while Zhao Danchen had not been injured by Long Chen’s vigorous attacks, his face and hair were dusty, his clothes were disheveled, and his expression could be described as “crying without tears!”
To Zhao Danchen, the faint smile on Long Chen’s face was absolute humiliation!
New hatred was added to past hatred. These two types of hatred completely drowned Zhao Danchen!
He burned with the flames of fury!
“LONG CHEN!” Zhao Danchen roared. He never thought he would ever have a day like this!
The people standing on the walls were shocked by this situation.
They never expected Zhao Danchen to be toyed with by Long Chen. Based on how they looked, Long Chen had the upper hand in the duel. The great Martial Overlord was left with a dusty face!
This young man who had only recently risen in the past year had a strange halo around him. He was extraordinary!
Many people looked at each other.
Will Zhao Danchen really lose to Long Chen? This question popped into many minds.
But they quickly denied this.
Because they knew that Zhao Danchen had two more tricks that he had not used. One was the Martial Overlord Ring on his thumb, and the other was his advanced King-tier combat technique that uniquely belonged to the Martial Overlord, the Martial Overlord Seal!
There was a reason why Zhao Danchen had learned the Martial Overlord Seal so quickly. It resided in the Martial Overlord Ring, so when he put it on, Zhao Danchen quickly comprehended the technique with the help of the spirits of his ancestors. He could then use the Martial Overlord seal via the Martial Overlord ring!
Without the ancestral spirits’ help, someone with Zhao Danchen’s talent would take at least a year to cultivate the Martial Overlord Seal.
There probably wasn’t a single person in the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory who could master the Desolate Divine Seal and even use it within a month like Long Chen!
There was a brief pause in the battle.
Zhao Danchen was filled with rage as he strode towards Long Chen.
The whites of his eyes were covered in blood vessels, surrounding his golden irises!
The dense blood vessels made Zhao Danchen look fierce.
Although he did not have a Beast Soul Transformation, he looked more animalistic than Long Chen. Although Long Chen was using a Beast Soul Transformation as far as others could tell, his movements were fast and elegant, which was completely opposite to Zhao Danchen.
“It looks like I can’t kill you without using a bit of the Martial Overlord Ring’s power, Long Chen.” Zhao Danchen paused, then he continued, “The fact that you have reached this level and forced me to use the Divine Martial Possession’s powers proves that you are an impressive prodigy. However, even the greatest prodigies will find their bones shattering before the power of the Martial Overlord’s ancestors!”
As he spoke, countless secret runes appeared on Zhao Danchen’s body, just like Zhao Wuji. The runes merged with his Golden Combat Body, which gave him a larger advantage compared to Zhao Wuji. Due to his tough body, he could withstand even more power from the ring!
“Divine Martial Possession!”
Discussions erupted on top of the city walls.
“The moment he uses the Divine Martial Possession, Long Chen is finished.”
“What a pity that Zhao Danchen needs to use this technique to win. The power within the Martial Overlord Ring will only decrease as he uses more of it. I wonder if there will be any power left by the time he’s no longer the Martial Overlord!”
A powerful surge of energy flowed from the Martial Overlord Ring into Zhao Danchen’s body. More and more golden runes covered his skin, including his face.
After he completed the Divine Martial Possession, Zhao Danchen was countless times stronger, even reaching the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. This immense power turned into an intense pressure weighing down Long Chen’s body!
The power of the Martial Overlord Ring was indeed terrifying!
Long Chen previously saw Zhao Wuji using it, but now he was experiencing it first-hand from his opponent!
He had completely suppressed Zhao Danchen until now, but it was uncertain if he could continue.
The battle had become even more interesting. Previously, Long Chen was bullying Zhao Danchen, but the tables had turned. Would Long Chen be able to withstand Zhao Danchen’s attacks?
The crowd was deeply engrossed in this exciting fight.
When Zhao Danchen felt the power flowing into him, he sneered.
However, to his disappointment, he did not see fear or despair on Long Chen’s face. His expression was ice-cold like before. Zhao Danchen started to wonder if Long Chen was capable of making a fearful expression. Or was he hiding it?
To be honest, Zhao Danchen was genuinely impressed that Long Chen could hold up against him until now.
“Die …” Zhao Danchen’s speed increased by several times, along with his super-strength.
The crowd watched anxiously.
“Is that so?” Long Chen smirked coldly.
“Blood Devouring Domain …” This was Long Chen’s most used divine technique. The Blood Devouring Domain quickly enveloped himself and Zhao Danchen, covering the whole area with blood-red mist. The mist sometimes stirred into blood-red dragon images that formed and dispersed intermittently. The bizarre mist even exerted a strong sucking force on Zhao Danchen’s body!
This was not Zhao Danchen’s first time experiencing the power of the Blood Devouring Domain.
But every time he did, he felt like he was about to vomit blood. Using the Martial Overlord Ring should have boosted his strength by many times, yet he was still forced to use a portion of his power to suppress his boiling blood due to the Blood Devouring Domain.
It was as if his own blood did not belong to him.
His blood and Qi surged within his body. His body was already unstable after he used the Martial Overlord Ring, and the Blood Devouring Domain brought his body to the brink of breaking down. If this went on, Long Chen would not even need to do anything—Zhao Danchen’s body would break down on its own from the Martial Overlord Ring’s power and the Blood Devouring Domain.
