"…"
Facing the weapon spirits, Long Hua says—
"As promised, I'll play with you all for around half an hour. But before we get started, how about a reintroduction?"
Placing a hand to his chest, Long Hua states—
"I've yet to recall the entirety of my memories, but among the memories that I am able to recall perfectly… I was once called Bujian Yue. In the distant past, I was the ruler of a star region."
*...…!!!*
For a brief instance, all hints of light turn dim, while an ominous blood-red mist emanates from Long Hua's body—only to vanish in the next instance.
"…"
Maintaining an unchanging expression on the outside, Long Hua thought—
(At this point, even the mentioning of this name is enough to cause that Divinity-like entity to direct their eyes over?)
(…What?)
Receiving this news for the first time, the Tai Xuan Emperor reacted with evident confusion—having never heard of Long Hua bringing this matter up to Dao He Tian Xue's attention during his previous life.
"Bujian… Yue?"
Muttering the name, Xu Tian Kun raises a frown—having never heard of it. But considering the status that she possessed at her prime, this isn't anything unusual.
Nevertheless—
"…"
"Ruler of a star region…"
Exchanging a glance with Jiu Sheng, two possibilities appeared on their minds, being—
(Either that star region was so small to the point of being considered trivial, or…)
(It might have existed during an age where I wasn't even born.)
Assuming that Long Hua wasn't lying about his identity, then according to their past experiences, no rulers of a star region should be underestimated.
Recalling the few star region rulers that they've had the chance to deal with in the distant past—particularly Yun Bi Xie, Xu Tian Kun and Jiu Sheng's vigilance rises.
"…"
Drawing in a subtle breath, Long Hua says—
"Well then? My reintroductions are finished. How goes your preparations?"
Facing Long Hua's taunting attitude, the weapon spirits step forward, and—
"Jun Hun."
"Lie Bai."
"An Ye."
Simultaneously, all the weapon spirits activated their Weapon Spirit True Body states.
To avoid making themselves a bigger target for Long Hua, they have all chosen to shrink their statures down to a minimum of three meters.
*Kaka!* crackling his knuckles, Shao Tianming—despite being in his Weapon Spirit True Body state, he has yet to summon his Relic.
Similarly, the same applies to Ye Chen, Wang Yongning, Qing Yue, and Zhui Yun.
All of them had a single thought in mind, which was—prior to summoning their weapons, they all wished to land a punch onto Long Hua's face.
"…"
*…!!!*
"Oh? Quite an improvement."
Being the first to step forward, Shao Tianming closes in on Long Hua—with a speed that vastly surpasses his original specs.
And without giving Long Hua the time to evade, Shao Tianming throws a punch forward, but—
*Boom!!!* despite having landed a clean hit onto Long Hua, there was not a hint of joy on Shao Tianming's face.
"…?!"
If anyone is able to see Shao Tianming's face—which is currently hidden beneath his helmet, they would be surprised to see that he is making a look of utter astonishment.
"…"
"…"
Unaware of what Shao Tianming is feeling, the others approach Long Hua from different directions, to throw out a punch of their own.
*Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!*
"…!"
"Uh!"
Due to the odd nature of Qing Yue and Zhui Yun's Weapon Spirit True Body states turning them into Celestial Demons, the nearby weapon spirits can see the clear expressions of astonishment that are on their faces.
*Kakaka! Pah!!!* as the armor wrapped around Ye Chen, Shao Tianming, and Wang Yongning's right arm shatters, the weapon spirits nearby draw in a breath of cold air—seeing the blood that is dripping from the three's exposed right arms.
"Wh-What happened?"
"Wh-Why are they bleeding?"
Heaving a sigh, Long Hua says—
"Barely…"
Rotating his cultivation base, Long Hua performs a Martial Emperor's Step—causing a Yin and Yang symbol to appear beneath his feet.
"Just barely enough to give me a minor massage."
*Boom!!!* upon the Yin and Yang symbol's detonation, the five weapon spirits near Long Hua are thrown backwards.
As the dust clouds settle, Long Hua is revealed to be completely unscathed by the five's attack.
Straightening his back, Long Hua remarks—
"Immortals have two common ways of cultivation. The first is the cultivation base; the second is the body. Most of the level six Immortals—that this world had encountered, were only at that level in cultivation base. I, on the other hand, belong to the second category."
Disregarding whether or not the weapon spirits have understood him, Long Hua unleashes the power of the earth element—causing his chest to give off a golden glow.
Raising his right foot, Long Hua stomps the ground once more.
This time, a larger Yin and Yang symbol, one that is large enough to cover half of the nearby weapon spirits within itself, manifests.
*Boom!!!!!!* without giving the weapon spirits the chance to escape, the Yin and Yang symbol detonates—throwing all those that have been caught within its range into the air!
"…!"
Gritting her teeth, Xu Tian Kun—who is dressed in a set of white body armor, transforms herself into a bolt of lightning, and closes in on Long Hua with a white staff held in her hands.
"Die, venomous snake!"
*Chi!!! Chi!!! Chi!!!* in an explosive manner, the white staff erupts with blue lightning, as Xu Tian Kun brings it down on Long Hua's head!
"…"
Darkening his right fist by rotating the Immortal Suppression Palm, while also shrouding it in sword Qi, Long Hua strikes at the falling lightning staff!
*Boom!!!!!*
"…!"
With her red eyes brimming with killing intent, Xu Tian Kun grinds her teeth together, as she pushes the staff down with her entire body weight!
Amidst this exchange, a tendril of red mist lunges forth; and going undetected by Xu Tian Kun, the mist stabs itself into her skin.
Maintaining a venomous smile on his face, Long Hua asks—
"Is this all that you've got?"
Following this question—
"Die!"
Closing in from the back is Zhu Xu, who swings his battle axe towards Long Hua's neck!
Having already detected Zhu Xu's approach, Long Hua opens his right hand, and grabs the lightning staff directly.
Snapping his body around, Long Hua swings the staff—along with Xu Tian Kun, towards Zhu Xu.
"Ancestor Xu!"
"Tch!"
Releasing her grip on the staff, Xu Tian Kun narrowly escapes from having her head lopped off by Zhu Xu.
"Piss off for now."
Taking aim at the two, Long Hua throws out a black and white handprint—blasting them back!
In the same instance—
*Grawr!!!* dropping down from above is Yang Hai, who is in the form of a werewolf.
"A disobedient mutt deserves punishment."
Muttering this, Long Hua doesn't wait for Yang Hai to approach him, as he leaps into the air, and grabs the latter by their tail.
Rotating his body, Long Hua proceeds to toss Yang Hai towards a building, and—
*Boom!!!* similarly to a cannon ball, Yang Hai pierces through the entirety of the building—crashing onto the ground, while opening a crater.
"Surnamed Long!"
"Hm? Surnamed Shao, is that a new trick of yours?"
Leaping upwards, Shao Tianming is followed by 50 lamellar armored soldiers, whose bodies are formed of red flames, and towards their approach—
*…!!! …!!!* Long Hua unleashes the power of the earth and metal elements—prior to throwing out a single strike!
"Uh?!"
*Boom!!!!!* hit by the shockwave of this strike, Shao Tianming's armor shatters instantly!
As for the lamellar armored troops behind him—
*…!!! …!!! …!!!* much like candle flames in front of a powerful gale, they are erased from existence as soon as the shockwave blasts onto them.
"Hack!"
Opening a crater with his body, Shao Tianming spews out a mouthful of blood.
"Ack…"
Enduring the pain by gritting his teeth, the tendril of red mist that had stabbed itself into his body went unnoticed by Shao Tianming.
