Fierce Battle in Guyang

The immense power was such that people could even feel the shockwave generated as he sprinted; it was a phenomenon produced when strength reached an absolute extreme.

Long Chen took a deep breath. Gu Yang's strength far exceeded his expectations, so he would no longer hold anything back.

"Hum."

The space trembled, and a massive divine ring appeared behind Long Chen. A terrifying wave of Qi soared into the sky, enveloping all directions.

The divine ring shook the heavens. The Qi waves on Long Chen's body madly scoured the world, and space itself began to become unstable because of him.

Practically everyone present had seen Long Chen summon his divine ring, but the divine ring he summoned this time was even more powerful and terrifying than before.

"Kill!"

Long Chen let out a great shout, like a thunderclap shaking the heavens. The bone blade in his hand sliced through the heavens and earth as he struck down at Gu Yang.

"Bang!"

Long Chen's bone blade and Gu Yang's fist collided fiercely, producing an explosive sound.

After the explosion, the terrifying force caused the earth to shatter, sending sand and stones flying wildly in all directions.

"Not good!"

Someone exclaimed in alarm and hurriedly channeled their power to defend. However, those close by were sent flying by the shockwave before they could even channel their Qi to protect their bodies.

In an instant, countless people vomited blood and were sent flying far away like straw, their eyes filled with shock.

Just the aftermath of the battle was enough to injure them; if they were to face the enemy directly, they would undoubtedly die. It was too terrifying.

Debris flew through the air incessantly, and waves of earth churned like a tsunami, forcing everyone to retreat far away.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

They could not see the figures of the two, only the sky filled with waves of earth and whistling debris. Their ears were filled with the sound of violent collisions, and the earth trembled incessantly.

"Too terrifying."

At this moment, Song Mingyuan and the others had all stopped fighting because the battle no longer had any meaning; the overall situation was already decided.

Even if Gu Yang was powerful, he could not simultaneously fight against the combined force of Long Chen, Tang Waner, and Ye Zhiqiue.

And now that Long Chen was facing Gu Yang alone, it signified that this grand competition had lost its meaning; what Long Chen wanted was revenge.

Everyone present watched the arena from afar, where they could only vaguely see two figures constantly moving, unable to clearly make out their actions.

This was an unprecedentedly powerful fierce battle, and all the Disciples on the side of the Heaven and Earth Alliance watched with excitement.

They knew that with Long Chen's return, the Heaven and Earth Alliance would completely ascend to the Peak, and no one would be able to contend with it.

One had to ask, within this Alliance, with two powerhouses who had undergone Awakening of their ancestral runes, and a Genius like Long Chen who had already transcended the category of monsters, it would be difficult for them not to rise.

"Boom!"

With another violent explosion, a figure flew out from the battlefield, flying dozens of feet before stopping.

"It's Gu Yang!"

"He was repelled!"

People exclaimed, because they saw that just as Gu Yang retreated, Long Chen had already rushed over, his bone blade striking down fiercely.

At this moment, Long Chen was like a mad Dragon, his bone blade flying in his hands, every move ruthless, forcing Gu Yang to retreat repeatedly.

"Gu Yang is going to lose. In terms of strength, he actually lost to Long Chen." Someone sighed.

One must know that Gu Yang's greatest strength was his abnormal power; his ancestral runes granted him strength. He could easily shatter Tang Waner's wind blades with his fists, showing just how terrifying he was.

Yet, such a powerful existence who used strength to overwhelm everything was actually forced into a disadvantageous position during a direct clash with Long Chen.

"Hmph, that's just Long Chen taking advantage of his weapon. If Long Chen were also unarmed, Senior Brother Gu Yang could kill him with a single punch." In Gu Yang's faction, a Disciple said coldly.

Although they were not fighting now, everyone stood on the periphery, and it was certain that they looked at each other with displeasure.

"Hmph, weapons are also a type of strength. Your words are like farting. According to your logic, if Gu Yang didn't have the support of his ancestral runes, with him being such a bald guy, Senior Brother Long Chen could kill a whole bunch of them with a single fart." A Disciple of the Heaven and Earth Alliance was not having it, and he loudly defended his idol.

"Bullshit, ancestral runes are innate; they are a symbol of strength. Why shouldn't he use them?" The person opposite was furious.

This side immediately retorted: "Senior Brother Long Chen's bone blade was obtained from the Exiled Ones' graveyard; that is even more of a symbol of glory. Why shouldn't he use it?"

That person was no pushover either, opening his mouth to say: "That was just Long Chen having dogshit luck and picking up a treasure; otherwise, he would have long since become Demonic Beast dung."

That person's words instantly ignited the anger of everyone on this side. What they previously couldn't tolerate the most was anyone insulting the two goddesses, Ye Zhiqiue and Tang Waner.

Now, their worshipped idols also included Long Chen, and their level of worship was no less than that of the two goddesses. One person rushed up directly and smashed a fist into that person's nasal bone.

"I'll show you for talking trash!"

"Crack!"

A teeth-aching sound of bone cracking came, accompanied by that person's scream.

After knocking the person down with one punch, that Heaven and Earth Alliance Disciple still had unspent anger. He turned to the crowd and said: "Brothers, they dare to insult Senior Brother Long Chen like this; this is simply going too far. Do you remember how they bullied us before? Now we aren't grabbing flags anymore; we are just venting our anger. If you're a man, come with me!"

Following that person's shout, five flag guards from the five major factions of the Heaven and Earth Alliance emerged, all rushing towards the other side like angry bulls.

Previously, because of Long Chen, the two sides had not engaged in any intense large-scale battle; Long Chen alone had suppressed them, and they hadn't even dared to resist.

At that time, they had felt very satisfied, but they still felt it wasn't quite enough. Now, seeing someone insult Long Chen, they had found just the right excuse.

Among those who cultivate, there are few who are not war-mongers. With one person taking the lead, everyone immediately erupted and charged towards that group of people.

Seeing the people from the other side charging over, both sides immediately launched into a great battle. Seeing this, Song Mingyuan and the others could no longer bother watching Long Chen's fierce battle and all launched attacks at their own opponents.

On Long Chen's side, explosions were constant, and the Qi waves were heaven-shaking, but this side was not bad either, because victory was within their grasp.

The flag bearers were all beside Tang Waner and Ye Zhiqiue, so no one could snatch them away. They could fight without restraint; they didn't seek to grab flags, only to vent the pent-up frustration they had held in their hearts for so long.

A Core Disciple on the opposite side was lying down playing dead, while Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin had long since been beaten half-dead, their morale extremely low.

Coupled with the fact that their hearts were not united to begin with, they were all beaten into a state of chaos, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, causing Ling Yunzi, who was watching from afar, to sigh deeply: "The good and the bad are mixed together."

This generation of Disciples—the strong were too strong, the weak were too weak. Most importantly, their mental fortitude was too poor. The previous life-or-death assessment had not inspired a heart of a powerhouse in them.

On the contrary, the people on Long Chen's side were all high-spirited and firm in their will; even after suffering bullying, not a single person had quit the faction.

But on Gu Yang and the others' side, Long Chen alone had scared them so much they didn't dare to move, and their flag bearers were exposed to the enemy without a single person guarding them.

Tu Fang's face was livid at that moment, wishing he could slap this bunch of bastards to death. If they were really on the battlefield facing experts of the Evil Path, not one of them would survive.

"Well killed, well killed!" Tu Fang said through gritted teeth.

He was referring to the traitors Long Chen had killed previously. Only with mutual trust and mutual protection could a team truly be strong.

It was precisely because of absolute trust that betrayal was the most hateful thing. If it were to happen again, Tu Fang hoped he could turn the punishment for Long Chen into a reward.

Facts proved that Long Chen was right; this could be seen from the opponent's behavior of being like loose sand, selfish and self-interested.

"We are somewhat sorry to Long Chen. His behavior should be rewarded, not punished." Tu Fang sighed and said.

Ling Yunzi smiled slightly: "You're doing it again. A heaven-defying anomaly has his own Dao; no one can change it. Besides, do you think Long Chen being exiled to the Chaotic Stone Wasteland this time is a punishment or a reward?"

After Ling Yunzi's hint, Tu Fang suddenly realized. Long Chen had become even stronger after being exiled to the Chaotic Stone Wasteland this time. Could it be that this was an Opportunity in his destiny?

Thinking of this, Tu Fang stopped speaking and simultaneously developed a greater sense of awe for the Heavenly Dao.

Elder Sun watched Long Chen in the midst of the fierce battle, looking at the divine ring behind him, his eyes filled with greed.

His current cultivation was at a Bottleneck. If he could obtain Long Chen's miraculous Cultivation Technique, perhaps there would be hope for him to break through his shackles.

Because Long Chen's divine ring could madly absorb the energy of heaven and earth, if he could obtain it, when charging at the barrier, opening the divine ring would only require a tiny bit of assistance for him to potentially make a Breakthrough.

Sometimes, advancement is just short by that tiny bit of power, but that tiny bit of power might be like a chasm lying before one, impossible to cross for a lifetime.

"Boom!"

With another explosive sound, Long Chen's bone blade slashed out, tearing through the Void Realm, directly sending Gu Yang flying again.

"Bastard, I don't believe it! My strength is the strongest!" Gu Yang let out an angry roar, rushing towards Long Chen again, his fists flying and attacking madly.

"But you still haven't managed to smash me into meat paste yet." Long Chen coldly responded, his bone blade slashing out again, forcing Gu Yang back. With the bone blade in hand, his strength could finally be utilized, which made him feel very comfortable.

He was different from Gu Yang; he did not have the support of ancestral runes, his fists could not be harder than weapons, and he had not learned any profound fist techniques or combat skills.

Therefore, only with a weapon could he maximize his strength advantage. This great battle was hearty and unconstrained, making Long Chen feel unprecedentedly satisfied.

However, Long Chen was also shocked by Gu Yang's strength. With the divine ring's support, attacking with full force consumed a great deal of his own energy.

After advancing to the Tenth Heaven, his strength had become even greater, and his combat power had soared, but his consumption was also even more terrifying.

And the Gu Yang before him, having fought fiercely for so long, had not seen his combat power diminish much. If this continued, he was afraid he would exhaust his Spiritual Qi.

He secretly glanced upward and saw that the stick of incense had already burned to the bottom and was about to extinguish.

"Boom!"

After Gu Yang threw a punch, he retreated ten zhang. At this moment, he was gritting his teeth; he could not accept this result.

"One last strike! I'll smash you into meat paste!" Gu Yang roared, blocking with his fists in front of him. The runes that had originally covered his body all disappeared, and his fists instantly turned a pitch-black color, like steel.

"Let you taste the flavor of my Gu family's Blazing Sun Fist!"

Gu Yang's fists slowly swung out. A sharp aura locked onto Long Chen in an instant, space trembled, and his aura surged. A single punch tore through the Void Realm and smashed down towards Long Chen.
