Chapter 1741 (2/2)

People panicked because this starry formation covered even them .

“Everyone, don’t worry . The core of this formation is the battlefield . We are just on the edge . When it truly activates, Long Chen will be the main target . We aren’t even qualified to be caught in its net,” said an Empyrean as he looked at the endless stars . He was completely calm . He clearly had a certain understanding of this formation .

In the Huayun Sect, Zheng Wenlong calmly looked at the formation . He was lost in thought . “Has Long Chen really reached the level where his foes will do anything to eliminate him, even if they have to become enemies with the Martial Heaven Alliance?”

Right now, Long Chen wasn’t just the hope of the Xuantian Dao Sect . He had also become the number one figure amongst the Martial Heaven Alliance’s junior generation . He was someone Qu Jianying regarded the highest, no different from her own disciple .

Whoever dared to attack Long Chen would have to face Qu Jianying’s temper . No matter what power they were from, Qu Jianying would immediately kill her way to them .

The rumors of Long Chen collaborating with an expert from the original devil race had caused quite a bit of noise in the past few days, but there was no solid proof . No one had been able to do anything to Long Chen over it .

Zheng Wenlong had thought that Long Chen would be safe, but then, unexpectedly, Xiang Yunfei had come out to challenge Long Chen . This was clearly no simple compet.i.tion between experts, but a trap .

“Should we alert the headquarters?” whispered the elder behind Zheng Wenlong .

Zheng Wenlong shook his head . “There is no need . Long Chen is brazen but also scrupulous . He knew this was a trap, yet he still jumped into it . That means he has his own trump cards and isn’t afraid of the trap . ”

“But that hidden person…”

“It’s fine . I understand Long Chen far too well . Don’t worry about it!” Zheng Wenlong waved his hand dismissively .

The flickering stars enveloped the world . Furthermore, the sun was still blazing high in the sky . This sight was bizarre .

“Wait a moment, I want to personally suppress Long Chen!”

When those stars appeared, Xiang Yunfei let out a furious roar . The mammoth in his manifestation suddenly let out a cry and began to move . Its trunk pointed toward the sky .

“His manifestation is moving! That’s a sign his manifestation is on the verge of fully awakening! When his manifestation fully awakens, Xiang Yunfei will be a true Empyrean . ”

Seeing the mammoth in his manifestation roar at the sky, the Empyreans present were all filled with wild jealousy .

Only when they fully awakened their manifestations would they be true Empyreans . Born from the heavens, sent to uphold the will of heaven and earth, and standing above all other geniuses . Only such figures were true heavenly geniuses .

Currently, ninety-nine percent of Empyreans on the Martial Heaven Continent only had a simple primal chaos manifestation . Those whose manifestations had started to awaken were as rare as a phoenix feather or unicorn horn .

Empyreans with awakened manifestations had a powerful suppressive effect on ordinary Empyreans . If the Heavenly Daos were like sunlight, then ordinary Empyreans were wheat, while Empyreans with awakened manifestations were trees .

The trees blocked the majority of the sunlight, so the ordinary wheat couldn’t enjoy the nourishment of the sun . There was no way for them to compete .

As for Xiang Yunfei, his manifestation was on the verge of fully awakening . That meant he was just one step from growing into a heaven-soaring tree .

As Xiang Yunfei’s manifestation shook, his Blood Qi also soared . His muscles bulged, and his skin became a tough hide that looked like the bark of an old tree . However, it was still possible to vaguely see his blood flowing out of him .

“Xiang Yunfei is activating the Barbarian Mammoth Spirit Possession divine ability . However, since he’s just a clone, he only has eighty percent of his true body’s power, so even his clone is unable to bear this power . ”

Xiang Yunfei’s entire body was b.l.o.o.d.y . His eyes were scarlet . He glared at Long Chen like a crazed Magical Beast .

Suddenly Xiang Yunfei’s body inflated, which caused many blood tears to spread all over his body . Blood slowly flowed out, but it didn’t fall to the ground . It was instead absorbed by his tough hide .

Long Chen didn’t stop Xiang Yunfei, nor did he react to the starry formation trapping him . His hands were clasped behind his back as he patiently waited for Xiang Yunfei to finish .

Suddenly, Xiang Yunfei let out a furious roar . His arms were now thicker than a normal person’s waist . The power of his Blood Qi was exploding out of him .

“Long Chen, even a clone is more than enough to kill you!” Xiang Yunfei’s voice was harsh and as ugly as sc.r.a.ping metal .

“I don’t believe you . ” Long Chen shook his head . He clenched his fist, his divine ring spun, and a five-point star gradually appeared within it . At the same time, his 108,000 stars inside him began to unleash their own power .

BOOM!

Xiang Yunfei and Long Chen’s fists collided, and a giant wave of light exploded . Everywhere that light pa.s.sed, destruction followed . The ground was torn asunder . The experts inside the Eastern Xuan City were all horrified . If that light wave struck them, it was unknown just how many of them would survive .

Buzz .

Before the light even arrived, the Huayun Sect’s barrier took the initiative . It expanded, attacking the light wave . As a result, people were horrified to see the barrier explode .

Just as they thought that they were doomed, another light barrier shot out . Continuously explosive sounds rang out as a total of eighteen barriers were destroyed in order to cancel out the shockwave of their exchange .

After the shockwave had pa.s.sed, everyone finally sighed with relief and wiped off some cold sweat . They all looked gratefully at Zheng Wenlong before looking back at the battlefield .

“What?!” However, when they saw the battlefield, they couldn’t help being astounded .
