Chapter 1578 - 1575: Facing Off Against Long Jian!
Chapter 1578 - 1575: Facing Off Against Long Jian!
Hearing Li Chen openly insult him as garbage, and even called him a useless piece of trash, in front of everyone, Long Jian’s rage surged instantaneously.
"Damn it, ignorant human. I, the king, will grind your bones to dust, see if you dare to speak so insolently again?"
The furious voice, like a whirlwind, tore through the void, howling away.
Immediately after, Long Jian took a fierce step forward, crushing the void beneath his foot, advancing towards Li Chen with an unstoppable momentum.
Seeing this scene, Li Chen’s expression darkened slightly, becoming as heavy as a mountain in an instant.
Although he had spoken very arrogantly just now, it was only to provoke the opponent and expose a flaw.
For a Quasi-Mahayana God Monarch like this, he did not dare to have any feelings of contempt.
Otherwise, any slight carelessness would lead to exactly what Long Jian had said, a place where even bones could not be buried.
Seeing Long Jian attack first, Li Chen quickly clasped his hands to form a seal, layers of golden light seals spinning around him, forming a defense as impregnable as a fortress.
"Boom!"
Long Jian’s violent attack struck against Li Chen’s impregnable defense, immediately erupting into a series of rolling thunderous explosion sounds.
The violent energy ravaged outward upon impact.
Mountains, rocks, and vegetation within hundreds of miles could not withstand such ferocious pressure, getting crushed in the blink of an eye.
Some weaker cultivators were instantly torn into pieces.
The rest, terrified, rapidly retreated, fearing collateral damage from the flying sparks.
In no time, the enormous mountain peak was left with only Li Chen and Long Jian confronting each other across the void.
At their feet, Heavenly Thunder Mountain was devastated, as if a super typhoon had passed over it.
This initial clash made Long Jian realize that this young human was indeed worthy of his demonic reputation, enduring such a ferocious blow from him while remaining composed and unfazed.
Long Jian’s gaze was imperious, like an unsheathed blade, intensely staring at Li Chen.
"You are indeed strong, no wonder Long Ba fell to you!"
Li Chen smiled indifferently, coldly saying: "Do you believe that you will also fall at my hands?"
"Ignorant worm, don’t boast here. Today, let’s see how I handle you!"
As he spoke, the True Yuan in Long Jian’s body burst forth like the breach of a heavenly river, soaring straight into the sky.
This True Yuan condensed in the void into a mysterious black giant sword, shimmering with unmatched sharpness.
The piercing light it emitted exploded like firecrackers the moment it touched the void, crackling loudly.
The spectators around Heavenly Thunder Mountain, even though they had retreated hundreds of miles away, could still feel the unparalleled sword intent. It felt like a blade scraping against their cheeks, leaving them breathless.
Seeing this, Li Chen’s gaze sharpened.
From the aura that Long Jian released, he was already far superior to Long Yang, Long Hai, and others, comparable to the Fake Mahayana Realm Hu Chong.
Moreover, judging by the refinement and thickness of his True Yuan, even the Fake Mahayana Realm Hu Chong could not compare.
If Long Jian were to clash with the Fake Mahayana God Monarch Hu Chong now...
In the early exchange, both sides might be equally matched.
But if it dragged into the later stage, Hu Chong’s weaknesses would be fully exposed, and he would definitely be overwhelmed by Long Jian.
Seeing Li Chen standing still without any movement, Long Jian looked on with a playful smile, sinisterly asking: "Li Chen, weren’t you quite vocal just now? Why are you silent now? Are you scared?"
With that, Long Jian couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Faced with Long Jian’s arrogant laughter, Li Chen remained unperturbed, responding: "Just a mere clown, daring to act wild before me?"
As he spoke, his gaze sharpened, and the ferocious True Yuan surged through his thirty-six circuits, gathering at the top of his skull. Like a Jiao Long emerging from the sea, it emitted soul-stirring dragon roars, ascending into the sky.
Seeing such ferocious momentum erupt from Li Chen’s body, Long Jian’s previous disdainful attitude subdued significantly.
"Very well, I hope you won’t disappoint the king next!"
Long Jian roared towards the sky, the black giant sword above his head, like Buzhou Mountain collapsed by Gonggong, causing the entire sky to collapse as it slashed towards Li Chen.
Seeing Long Jian’s move, Li Chen was naturally unwilling to be outdone.
He gazed at the sky, reaching into the void, thunderous sounds erupting from his mouth.
"Sword, come!"
On the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, a Golden Dragon coiled, emitting a resonating sword hum, landing steadily in Li Chen’s hand.
Li Chen’s gaze was imperious, holding the sword with both hands, surrounded by dazzling and shocking light. The overwhelming momentum seemed to want to cleave this world in half.
Long Jian’s black giant sword and Li Chen’s golden dragon shadow, both fiercely powerful forces, collided like thousands of troops on the battlefield.
Accompanied by the sounds of clashing metal and iron, violent shockwaves rampaged like untamed wild horses, rendering the supposedly indestructible rocks around them into spider-web-like cracks, devastated beyond recognition.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
"Thump, thump, thump!"
After this collision, whether it was Li Chen or Long Jian, both sides retreated simultaneously, quickly pulling apart.
However, before both could stabilize themselves, they charged again with unstoppable force, leaving incredible trails in the sky, clashing towards each other.
In terms of imposing momentum, Li Chen, at the late-stage Great Perfection of Divinity Transformation, naturally could not compare to Long Jian, who had reached the Quasi-Mahayana God Monarch.
But when it came to the refinement of True Yuan, Long Jian had to admit defeat.
Their clash now was like Li Chen leading tens of thousands of battle-hardened soldiers against Long Jian’s hundreds of thousands of troops.
Both sides had their advantages, neither willing to give ground, fighting fiercely.
With each clash, wind and thunder raged, causing the entire world to change colors.
"Boom!"
Another fierce clash flattened the surrounding mountains and forests within a few hundred miles instantly. Even the void above, unable to withstand such frenzied strikes, collapsed one after another, connecting into a deep, endless black cavity.
Li Chen glanced at the torn space, struck the ground, and soared into the sky, looking down, wildly swinging the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, his endless Sword Intent like a torrential downpour, covering Long Jian below...
