With a thunderous explosion, the divine light slashed fiercely into the center of the arena, covering a massive area that instantly engulfed Xu Yifeng.
"Boom!"
The impenetrable barrier in the center of the arena shattered with a roar. Only then did people realize that during the battle between Long Chen and Xu Yifeng, the great formation above the void had been secretly gathering power.
Right after Xu Yifeng killed those clansmen, the power of the grand array seemed to instantly saturate, unleashing a world-shaking strike.
Seeing things were going badly, Long Chen fled, but Xu Yifeng was unlucky. His reaction was slow, and he was instantly hit by the attack. Although it only grazed the edge, he still let out a miserable scream and half of his body disappeared.
Even with Xu Yifeng's strength, he had no strength to resist in the face of that divine light. If he had been even slightly delayed, he would have been doomed.
"Rumble... The
barrier in the middle shattered, forming a massive passage. Countless powerful figures witnessed this scene and frantically rushed toward it.
"Damn humans, get lost."
All the powerful warriors of various races rushed toward the passage simultaneously. No matter how large the passage was, it felt extremely crowded. When people got too close, it created threats and repulsion, and some demon clan experts launched their attacks first.
"Damn demons, go to hell."
The human race was not to be outdone. In this state, yielding and retreating would only miss the chance to seize the Holy King. In a narrow path, the brave prevail—if not now, then when.
"Puff puff puff... Powerful
figures from all races gathered together, forming a massive torrent, like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.
"Kill!"
Countless beings roared. At this moment, the powerful warriors of all races were filled with blood. In this situation, if I don't kill you, then you kill me. Unless you don't want to fight for the Saint King position, everyone must fight with all their might.
"Boss,"
Guo Ran looked at Long Chen. Now that everyone else had rushed in, Guo Ran was consulting Long Chen.
"No rush."
Long Chen had been fiercely battling Xu Yifeng, but at this moment, Xu Yifeng's shadow had vanished.
It turned out that Xu Yifeng was already near the core area. Although he was seriously injured, because he was too close to the passage, he was the first to rush down.
Now that the myriad races' powerhouses were charging down at the same time, searching for Xu Yifeng was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Long Chen didn't rush in, but chose to wait and see.
Long Chen always felt that the Saint King Arena was somewhat strange, and he didn't believe in the idea of seizing the initiative. In the end, the Saint King qualification must be fought for by strength. To fight blindly like this was utterly foolish.
Not only did Long Chen think this way, but many powerful figures from various races remained absolutely calm, silently observing.
In fact, although many beings were impatient, they weren't fools. Most importantly, they rushed in as soon as they saw Xu Yifeng.
Xu Yifeng was a prodigy of the Purple Blood lineage. As soon as he stepped forward, others were tempted and rushed down without hesitation.
This triggered a chain reaction, with more and more people rushing down, fierce battles raging, and countless lives dying in the chaos amid the bloodshed and chaos.
Countless people die without even knowing who did it, let alone by which enemy.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic, with endless blood rain raging, but people seemed to lose their blood and rushed down madly.
"Something's wrong. There's a strange fluctuation here that is affecting people's minds. Everyone, be careful." Mengqi watched the chaotic battle ahead, her expression changing slightly.
"Everyone, fall back. Don't let the bloody smell affect you." Long Chen sensed something was wrong and said to everyone.
Everyone's hearts tightened. Previously, they had also felt a strong urge to kill. Seeing humans being slain, their anger surged, and they truly wanted to rush forward and kill them.
Now, with Long Chen's reminder, they finally realized that the intense killing intent was some force luring them.
If they had charged through, in such a chaotic battlefield, there would have been no way they would have returned alive. Now that they had calmed down, they couldn't help but feel a wave of lingering fear.
As everyone retreated, their consciousness grew clearer and clearer. Seeing countless powerful figures charging forward one after another, they couldn't help but feel a chill run through them.
Those disciples on the stairs, who had almost been eliminated, looked at Long Chen and the others with awe, then glanced at the blood rain at the center of the battlefield, filled with gratitude toward Long Chen.
If it weren't for Long Chen, they would have died twice already. Previously, Long Chen braved rumors and fiercely fought Xu Yifeng, all because of them. Their gratitude toward Long Chen was beyond words.
Only when people are on the verge of death can they grasp the true meaning of life. Although they may not have grasped its true meaning, they have come to appreciate its preciousness.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Suddenly, cracks covered the entire Tianwu arena.
"The arena is about to explode." Li Qi cried out in surprise.
"Boom!"
With Li Qi's startled cry, the arena exploded with a thunderous boom, and everyone's bodies fell downward.
The collapsing arena transformed into endless light rain in the void, pouring down along with everyone.
The arena disappeared, and everyone gasped in surprise. Long Chen saw that beneath the arena, there was another arena, exactly the same as the one above.
However, the area was much smaller, less than one percent of the original, and the core area of the arena also had a light shield.
Inside the light shield were nine golden dragons, each with heads, tails, and exteriors, forming a soaring dragon posture. Their huge mouths opened wide, as if ready to roar loudly.
Where the nine golden dragons' mouths faced each other, there was a golden pearl. Within the golden pearl, strange ripples swirled. When they saw these strange ripples, including Long Chen, everyone's pupils contracted.
"Pearl of Fortune" Long
Chen had encountered the Pearl of Fortune before in the mortal realm, but he knew it could not change his fate, so he gave it to Guo Ran.
After Guo Ran received the blessing of fortune, fortune indeed descended from heaven. Opportunities abounded, turning misfortune into fortune. Even after ascending to the Immortal Realm, in such a dangerous place as the Moluo Star Domain, framed by such people, he remained safe and sound, showing just how powerful the fortune buff was.
But now, as soon as the Fortune Pearl appeared, both Long Chen and Guo Ran's hearts raced. The strength of this Fortune Pearl was billions of times stronger than the fortune given to Guo Ran, and the gap between them was like a drop of water versus an ocean.
"Boss..."
Seeing this Fortune Pearl, Guo Ran suddenly went mad. Back when Long Chen gave him fortune, he finally understood how important fortune is to a person.
He even regretted countless times that he should not have accepted this fortune in the first place. If it had been given to the boss, the boss's achievements would surely have been greater.
Now, seeing this Pearl of Fortune, Guo Ran secretly vowed that even if it cost his life, he would help the boss obtain it.
"Act"
At this moment, even Long Chen couldn't hold back. He stepped into the void and charged straight toward the core area.
But just as Long Chen moved, a sudden change occurred. Trenches appeared on the arena, and endless blood poured into them, flowing toward the barrier. After nourishing the nine dragons within the barrier, their eyes suddenly moved.
