Chapter 871 – The King of Ten Thousand Nations

That ice-cold glare worried both the Long-Bearded Guest and Ancestor Jin, and they quickly took a few steps back. They initially thought that they could kill Bai Lan quickly, but to their surprise, he had proven difficult to kill.

When they backed off, the duel paused for a moment.

When Long Chen saw Bai Lan’s injuries, rage rose in his heart.

That was when he strode towards the dueling trio. The floor was made of black crystal, and colorful light bounced off it, making it look dazzlingly beautiful. There were also many ancient carvings on the surrounding walls, such as bloodthirsty humans, violent beasts, and more.

When the trio heard his footsteps, they were startled.

There should have only been three of them on the seventh floor. When they heard another set of footsteps, they were shaken.

“Who is it?” someone shouted.

A handsome teenager with an evil sneer slowly emerged from the darkness. When they looked closer, they realized that it was Long Chen!

“Long Chen!”

The three of them cried at the same time. The happiest person was Bai Lan, as he thought Long Chen had died. He had returned, and he was unharmed too.

This was an unexpected twist to Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest. They recalled another person and started to grow cautious.

“Long Chen, where is Wu Lian? Wasn’t she with you? Is she behind you?”

They assumed that if Long Chen had escaped his predicament unharmed, then Wu Lian had done the same. All three of them were almost completely exhausted after climbing to the seventh floor. If Wu Lian appeared now, she could surely suppress them all and take the Five Emperors’ treasure for herself!

They had worked very hard to get here. Who would be willing to see the treasure get taken away when they were so close?

Ancestor Jin looked past Long Chen. “Wu Lian, since you are here, you might as well come out. A person of your rank should not be hiding.”

The three of them stood in a triangle, and no one went to the Prismatic Door first. They were on guard against Wu Lian, as well as everyone else.

Although Ancestor Jin had shouted for her, nothing happened behind Long Chen.

“That’s enough. She’s not here,” said Long Chen, chuckling.

“She’s not here? Where did she go? If you could come here, why isn’t she here?” Ancestor Jin asked angrily.

“If I said I killed her, would you believe me?” Long Chen squinted, looking at Ancestor Jin fiercely.

“Killed her? Haha, is that a joke?” Ancestor Jin laughed.

“There must be a problem with your brain,” said the Long-Bearded Guest, annoyed. How could a junior like Long Chen speak to them with that kind of tone?

Bai Lan’s face slowly changed. He sensed that Long Chen’s aura was different.

Is that the aura of the Heavenly Martial Realm?

Bai Lan was overjoyed.

He knew that when Long Chen was at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, he could kill a First Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator. Now that he had reached the Heavenly Martial Realm, maybe he could take on one of the enemies.

However, he was still worried about one thing—where was Wu Lian?

“Long Chen, can you deal with the Long-Bearded Guest?” Bai Lan asked in a low voice.

When they heard this, both Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest’s faces changed. Long Chen and Bai Lan had a solid relationship. It was going to be difficult to deal with both of them. Their only comfort was that Long Chen had not reached their level yet.

Long Chen walked over, and his gaze swept across them. He directly said, “Uncle Bai, take a rest. I’ll finish these two off for you.”

Bai Lan was privately shocked. He stared at Long Chen. Knowing that Long Chen never lied, he wondered if the teenager really was strong enough.

He recalled that Long Chen had mysteriously disappeared, then mysteriously appeared again. Something must have happened during that time that allowed his cultivation to advance greatly!

“Go ahead!”

Bai Lan agreed directly. If Long Chen couldn’t do it, he could still enter the fight!

With Long Chen’s help, the results would be much better. At the very least, he would lessen Bai Lan’s burden for a short while.

Listening to the conversation between them, Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest looked at each other, then laughed. Ancestor Jin said, “In that case, let me deal with this kid. Brother Long-Beard, just wait here, it’ll be quick. Then we’ll finish Bai Lan together. Neither of us can fully digest the Five Emperors’ treasure, so when the time comes, let’s divide the treasure equally. What do you think?”

“Ancestor Jin, do what you need to do! I’ll keep an eye on Bai Lan while you do that!” said the Long-Bearded Guest with a smile.

This was a critical moment, and every decision would influence the final owner of the Five Emperors’ treasure.

“Long Chen, death awaits you!” Ancestor Jin did not dare stray too far away from his current position, or it would be too troublesome to get to the Prismatic Door.

“Is that so?”

Long Chen’s aura transformed greatly. The quiet teenager erupted with an aura as strong as a Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator. The thickness of his aura even surpassed everyone present, and he had not even used the Dragon Soul Transformation yet.

“Three Thousand Star Clusters!”

Whoosh!

The spear, which was half gold and half black now, appeared in Long Chen’s hand. A burning heat erupted from half of it, while the other half was extremely cold!

“Heavenly Martial Realm!”

Both Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest’s faces changed!

“Have you only just realized it?” Long Chen played with the Three Thousand Star Clusters in his hand, looking at Ancestor Jin with a smile.

“So what if you’ve reached the Heavenly Martial Realm at a young age? You will still die. Hurry up and use your Beast Soul Transformation. Don’t waste my time,” said Ancestor Jin with a menacing laugh.

“I don’t need to transform to deal with you,” Long Chen said softly. Then he flickered!

“He’s so fast!”

Long Chen moved so quickly that it stunned Ancestor Jin. Even he could not move that fast!

The Yin Yang Sword Root multiplied his attack power by ten times!

“Solar Golden Ancestor Punch!”

Long Chen’s great speed scared Ancestor Jin, so he hurriedly used his most powerful technique. His attack shot out menacingly and condensed into a gigantic, solid fist. It was golden and dazzling, and it flew at Long Chen with a loud

rumble

!

“Break!” Long Chen cried.

He activated all the power in the Three Thousand Star Clusters. One casual thrust of the spear from Long Chen was equivalent to a Third Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator’s strongest attack. The tip of the spear pierced through Ancestor Jin’s fist and penetrated his shoulder like an invisible needle!

“Ah!”

Ancestor Jin screamed in agony!

Long Chen turned his spear with great strength, pinning the old man to the floor. Large cracks appeared on the floor where the Three Thousand Star Clusters pierced through.

Ancestor Jin’s face was pale as he cried out in pain.

Long Chen stood next to him with a smile.

The other two were shocked.

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He finished Ancestor Jin in just one move? Has Long Chen far surpassed Ancestor Jin and us?

Bai Lan and the Long-Bearded Guest were stunned.

Long Chen did not kill Ancestor Jin. If he wanted to, he would have thrust the spear into his head instead of his shoulder.

“This is ...” The Long-Bearded Guest’s face turned green. He pointed at Long Chen weakly, unsure of what to say.

Bai Lan knew that Long Chen would be very strong, but not this strong!

With this current strength, he could easily kill me. Am I hallucinating?

He has reached the Second Heavenly Martial Stage after going missing for a very short time, and he has combat abilities far beyond his current level. What happened?

His mind was a mess.

However, this was an amazing thing to him. Although Bai Lan also wanted the Five Emperors’ treasure, he would be satisfied if it ended up in Long Chen’s hands.

The one in most disbelief was Ancestor Jin. He was the one who had directly faced Long Chen’s attack, and he knew how terrifying Long Chen was. Long Chen had casually defeated his most powerful attack, even giving him a near-fatal injury. His shoulder was burning, and it had been pierced cleanly through. He would not be able to use any combat techniques for at least a month.

“I don’t want to kill anyone today, so I will leave you alive. Therefore, you’d better be good. You may be my senior, but in this world, the strongest one wins. Right now, my strength far surpasses yours, so you shouldn’t talk about rank now. If you move, I will send you to hell in just one breath,” Long Chen said mildly, looking down at Ancestor Jin.

Ancestor Jin nodded. He completely submitted to this unstoppable force.

“I have lost. I, Ancestor Jin, shall resign from the fight for the Five Emperors’ treasure! The Five Elements Alliance resigns!”

“Good.” Long Chen chuckled, then he turned to the Long-Bearded Guest and asked, “What about you? What’s your decision?”

The Long-Bearded Guest took two steps back and looked at him in a panic, then at Ancestor Jin’s tragic state. He gave a weak smile and said, “You are peerless in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory now. Once we return home, you can even become the King of Ten Thousand Nations. I, Long-Beard, completely submit to you!”

The King of Ten Thousand Nations.

If he returned to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, he would be fit for a title like that.

However, he was still young, and the Ten Thousand Nations Territory was not where he wanted to be.

“Long Chen ...” Bai Lan looked at the young man, unsure of what to say.

“Go take the Five Emperors’ treasure, then.”

After Long Chen’s casual display of strength, the trio did not dare move.

Long Chen looked at the Prismatic Door. Feng Yangzi once warned him not to touch the things inside.

Therefore, the Five Emperors’ treasure must be somewhere else.

He said to Bai Lan, “Sure. You should tend to your injuries first.”

When Long Chen helped Bai Lan tend to his injuries, there was a sudden flash of determination in the Long-Bearded Guest’s eyes, then the Long-Bearded Guest charged towards the Prismatic Door!
