Chapter 1497: Evilmoon Splits s.p.a.ce

This broadsword was a divine item and was unleas.h.i.+ng its divine might. Now that the heavenly tribulation had ended, the divine items could be activated without worry.

“Evilmoon,” called out Long Chen.

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,” replied Evilmoon. The two dragon images on it lit up, and an endless air of slaughter appeared. It was truly like an evil dragon had awakened. It left Long Chen’s hand and slashed toward the broadsword.

BOOM!

Evilmoon’s divine marks lit up, and a frightening power gathered. However, when the two divine items clashed, it didn’t cause a shockwave. Instead, a pillar of light soared into the sky and blew apart the clouds.

Both Evilmoon and the broadsword were directing the shockwaves of their power upward. If they simply allowed their divine power to explode in all directions, then even Long Chen in his peak state would be killed at this distance, to say nothing of the others.

Suddenly, a clear cracking sound rang out that caused the elder controlling the broadsword to cough up blood. A peanut-sized nick had appeared on the broadsword.

“What?! The divine item was damaged?!” Shocked cries rang out. Divine items were unrivaled existences in people’s eyes. However, the broadsword had actually been damaged in the first clash.

Divine power exploded from the broadsword, trying to force away Evilmoon. But Evilmoon was like a viper, stubbornly biting the throat of its prey.

Long Chen knew that Evilmoon was absorbing the divine essence of the broadsword to replenish its own energy. It definitely wouldn’t let such a good opportunity slip away.

“You two, hurry up! That blade is an atrocity! We have to immediately eliminate it!” This elder from the ancient family alliance shouted toward the other two peak Life Star elders.

He was shocked to find that no matter how the broadsword struggled, it was unable to escape Evilmoon. Its item-spirit was sending him a terrified cry for help.

Those two elders made their move at the same time. Ye Qingkuang’s Steel Coiling Dragon Staff and Peng Wansheng’s golden halberd flew out of their hands and smashed toward Evilmoon.

BOOM!

Facing two more attacks from two divine items, Evilmoon was forced to divert its attention. The broadsword managed to escape its grasp, and then all three divine items unleashed their divine power at Evilmoon. Three rays of light shot toward it.

Black qi revolved around Evilmoon. Astral winds surged around it as it unleashed its own black light, blocking the attacks of the three divine items.

“Heavens, just where did that black saber come from?! Even without Long Chen controlling it, it protects him against three divine items!”

Now everyone realized that the true priceless treasure in Long Chen’s hand was not the pot but this saber. Countless experts almost went crazy with envy, especially the sect masters.

Even as sect masters, they only had Ancestral items to maintain their sects’ karmic luck. Furthermore, the majority of them didn’t even have top Ancestral items.

As for Long Chen, he was just a little Jade Core disciple. That pot was able to smash apart other Ancestral items, so it had to be at least a peak Ancestral item, the strongest type of existence below divine items. And now that black saber in his possession was able to block the attacks of three divine items controlled by three peak Life Star experts.

At this moment, the three elders exchanged a look and formed new hand seals. Ripples of light came from their divine items, forming a huge light barrier around both Long Chen and Evilmoon.

“Everyone, Long Chen’s mind has been taken over by this evil blade. We need your help. Pa.s.s your energy into our bodies so we can seal this evil blade together. We must kill this fiend Long Chen to save the world from calamity!” shouted the ancient race elder. The three of them had found that their current power was not enough, and they needed everyone’s help.

However, the people present were no longer as fanatical as they had been at the start. Many of them had become aware of just how serious this problem was. Just before this, when Ye Qingkuang had summoned his lightning tribulation, it had been Long Chen who had saved all the commoners here, throwing himself into danger by attacking the lightning tribulation and drawing it away. There were countless people grateful to him.

Now the story of a fiend who had destroyed his own sect and had his soul controlled by an evil blade had lost its power. Not everyone was an idiot, and not everyone was overcome with envy.

Although they didn’t know the exact details of what was going on behind the scenes, since Long Chen was someone who would do such a thing to save people who were total strangers to him, how could he possibly do something like destroying his own sect and master?

The people who had attacked before had been able to use the righteous excuse of eliminating a scourge of the Righteous path in order to cover up their envy and greed. But now, that excuse was clearly groundless. If they really attacked, they would be denounced by others. After all, this was the Eastern Xuan City, and there were countless experts here. No one dared to make a move without considering things properly. When it came down to it, whether it was the ancient races, the ancient family alliance, or the t.i.tan Sect, they were unable to represent the Eastern Xuan Region’s Righteous path. The wrong decision here could cost them everything.

If they helped and Long Chen was killed, then that was alright. After all, he was dead, and a dead man wouldn’t be able to argue about his innocence even if he was innocent.

However, what if on the off-chance they failed to kill Long Chen? What then? Other than the destroyed Xuantian Dao Sect, Long Chen also had the support of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, the Wine G.o.d Palace, and even the Huayun Sect. Was doing this worth it or not?
