Ying Tian was forced out of the void. At that moment, he was horrified. Only now did he realize he had fallen into a trap carefully set by Long Chen.
Previously, Long Chen's random attacks on the void were all just pretenses. He didn't know how Long Chen managed to locate him, but his previous reckless attacks were meant to create an illusion.
When the moment was right, Long Chen delivered a decisive punch, forcing him out of the void. The moment he appeared, he happened to block the trajectory of the Whale Bone Whip.
All of this seemed like coincidence, but in reality, it was all Long Chen's scheme. Although Ying Tian's stealth technique was unmatched and could evade Long Chen's perception, the moment his sharp sword was stained with Long Chen's blood, he could no longer hide.
The Star Warrior's strike was also pulled by Lei Ling'er; otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared so precisely at that spot.
By the time Yingtian reacted, the whale bone whip was already in front of him. His expression instantly twisted with rage as he rapidly formed hand seals.
"Death Hunt Technique!"
Ying Tian shouted sharply, and nine figures identical to Ying Tian appeared simultaneously.
"Puff puff puff...
Nine figures exploded simultaneously, turning into a sky full of blood patterns. These blood patterns resembled massive spider webs, covering the sky.
"Boom!"
The void exploded, sending Ying Tian's figure flying backward. He miraculously survived, but his whole body was cracked, as if it could explode at any moment.
"Long Chen, if I don't avenge this grudge, I swear I won't be human!"
Ying Tian roared through gritted teeth, his eyes nearly bleeding, and his voice tinged with blood.
Just now, he had used the life-saving technique of the Fate Hunter clan. Within the Fate Hunter clan, there is a kind of substitute death technique, which is different from the usual substitute techniques in the cultivation world.
This substitute, formed through the fate pattern, is a secret unique to the Fate Hunter clan. Its most terrifying aspect is that, at the moment of death, the substitute bears and absorbs all the power and karmic effects associated with attacks.
Long Chen had once schemed against Ying Tian, but even so, he still couldn't force out a substitute for Yingtian's fate pattern. This kind of substitute is an extremely rare technique of trading one life for another—mysterious beyond explanation.
And every time Ying Tian condenses a substitute, he consumes a certain amount of energy, energy, spirit, and vast resources, sacrificing a great deal of precious time.
It can be said that these substitutes are his life. In other words, no matter what terrifying enemies he encounters, he has nine lives to consume. Even if he can't win, he can easily escape.
However, Ying Tian's strength was terrifying. He had never used a single of these Nine-Life Substitutes, because since his debut, no one had ever forced him to use the substitute technique.
Normally, using one substitute would be enough to save his life, but his life instinct drove him to summon all the substitutes, and as a result, these substitutes were instantly wiped out, barely saving his life.
In other words, this strike from the Starry Sky Warrior was enough to kill him nine and a half times. Losing nine substitutes at once, Ying Tian was heartbroken. At this moment, he hated Long Chen to the core.
He never dreamed that his nine precious substitutes would be destroyed in one go.
Although Long Chen's plan succeeded, he was secretly shocked. In such an unprepared situation, if he were hit by the Star Warrior's strike, there was no chance of survival.
It must be said, the Lifehunter Clan's life-saving secret moves are incredibly strong. No wonder they dared to challenge the Purple Blood Clan back then—they truly had the qualifications.
"Brother Long Chen, stay steady, give me a little more time. I should be able to control him very soon." At that moment, Lei Ling'er sent a voice transmission to Long Chen.
At this moment, Lei Ling'er felt a hint of excitement, because she suddenly realized that this Star Warrior seemed to have weakened considerably, and she was starting to gradually gain control over him.
This was an exciting discovery. If Lei Ling'er could control the Star Warriors and join forces with Long Chen, none of the enemies here would be able to escape.
Originally, Long Chen wanted to kill Ying Tian immediately, because this guy posed the greatest threat to him. However, after hearing Lei Ling'er's words, Long Chen immediately stopped chasing Ying Tian relentlessly.
Just as Lei Ling'er said, as long as he could stay steady, he would have won this heavenly tribulation. At this moment, he was seriously injured and had no need to risk fighting Ying Tian head-on.
The large hole in Long Chen's chest took a long time to heal, because his wound was infused with the will of destruction from the Heavenly Dao, preventing it from healing. The chaotic space's self-healing ability also began to decline, and healing was extremely slow.
Meanwhile, outside, the Dragon Blood warriors saw Long Chen resolve the crisis in an instant and immediately erupted in cheers. This way, Yue Zifeng no longer had to risk charging into the heavenly tribulation.
"Rumble... The
Starry Sky Warriors were still chasing Long Chen, the whale bone whip whistling past. Though the momentum was impressive, its aim was extremely poor, and it couldn't hit Long Chen at all.
At first, others thought Long Chen had already grasped the patterns and trajectories of the Star Warriors' attacks, which was why he could easily dodge.
Later, they realized it was nothing like that. Long Chen stood there motionless, and the Star Warrior's whale bone whip flew past him. At that moment, no one else could understand.
"The power of the Star Warriors is rapidly weakening. Is the tribulation about to end?"
Inside the tribulation, someone exclaimed in alarm. The aura fluctuations of the Starry Sky Warriors rapidly declined, as if court's removal.
"Is this the perfect time for everyone to make a move?" Someone said eagerly, and for a moment, many people turned to look at Luo Changsheng.
Luo Changsheng seemed to have become everyone's strategist. Everyone wanted to see what he was thinking, but at this moment, Luo Changsheng's expression turned filled with shock and suspicion.
"Have you noticed that the Star Warrior's aura is declining, while an even more terrifying force is rising?" Luo Changsheng said in a deep voice.
"Now that you put it that way... All
the powerful figures present were shocked. At first, they did feel something was off, but after Luo Changsheng's reminder, they all immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Could it be that the power of the Star Warriors is being extracted by something?" Someone exclaimed.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the heavens trembled, and a massive bronze fragment appeared before Long Chen. Upon seeing the fragment, Long Chen immediately sensed something was wrong.
At that moment, Lei Ling'er had completely taken control of the Star Warrior, swinging her whale bone whip fiercely at the bronze fragments.
With a loud explosion, the hundreds of zhang tall bronze fragments stood perfectly still, standing like a wall, blocking Long Chen's path.
"Go."
Long Chen immediately sensed something was wrong and just moved his feet.
"Boom boom boom... One
massive bronze fragment after another appeared, finally sealing off the world around Long Chen.
When hundreds of bronze fragments appeared, they suddenly closed together to form a massive bronze cauldron, sealing Long Chen tightly within.
"Heaven and EarthWhen
they saw the bronze cauldron, Luo Changsheng and the others' eyes nearly popped out.
