Chapter 894 – Nine Hells Finger

Long Chen’s astonishing talent enabled him to successfully use the Tyrannosaurus Punch after just a few days of studying it. A hot, golden Tyrannosaurus fist seal shot out of his right glove at Zhao Kongming!

This is powerful!

Zhao Kongming gasped and quickly retreated. The Underworld Armor materialized on his body and wrapped around him tightly. This suit of armor greatly strengthened his defensive abilities and even boosted his attacking power.

“Nine Hells Finger!” While he retreated, a black whirlpool appeared on Zhao Kongming’s finger. Nine rays of finger attacks blasted out of the black whirlpool, withstanding the force of the Tyrannosaurus Punch!

Why is his punching technique so familiar? Isn’t this the mayor’s signature technique? But why does it feel different, like it’s stronger? It should be because of the gloves!

Zhao Kongming drooled over the Emperor Vanquishers even more.

What a waste for such an excellent weapon to be in this brat’s hands.

“Break!” The Nine Hells Finger was the first finger technique he received after joining the Underworld Soldiers, and it was famous for its sharp and penetrative properties. Zhao Kongming had only reached the peak level of mastery after studying it for many years. Every finger attack that shot out turned into black air currents that collided with Long Chen’s Tyrannosaurus Punch!

Every gust was a huge blow to the Tyrannosaurus Punch!

Think you can defeat the Tyrannosaurus Punch with just that?

There was a cold flash in Long Chen’s eyes, and he continued to charge ahead. He swung his other arm and punched, then another Tyrannosaurus Punch of the same magnitude flew out. However, this time, it was a pitch-black fist seal with a chilling aura!

Yin and Yang were contradictory forces. When both Tyrannosaurus Punches collided, they generated a powerful explosion that shot at Zhao Kongming. Dust and sand flew around Long Chen!

Boom!

Zhao Kongming was blasted into the air. The explosion from combining the two Tyrannosaurus Punches was not as simple as one-plus-one-equals-two.

“Interesting.”

After stumbling tens of meters backwards, Long Chen was shocked to find that the man had relied on the Underworld Armor to absorb the force of the attack. Despite that, he was still stumbling clumsily. He had lost to Long Chen in this exchange, a kid who looked like he was only at the Third Heavenly Martial Stage.

How could he have such powerful combat abilities with such a low cultivation level?

“Is it my turn to attack yet?” Long Chen had made the first move in this exchange. To Zhao Kongming, this was just a joke. For the sake of the Emperor Vanquishers, Zhao Kongming wanted to end this fight quickly, so he used the strongest attack he had.

Within the Heavenly Martial Realm, the most effective strategy to deal with a weaker cultivator was to use a domain. With his Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage domain, he could exert an absolutely suppressive force on Long Chen!

Zhao Kongming laughed like a madman as he charged at Long Chen, releasing his immense domain. Zhao Kongming was king in his domain; he could even inject the Royal Qi from the domain into his attack. Using his essence, he would then guide the Royal Qi within his domain to unleash an even stronger attack.

At the same time, the domain would be strong enough to suppress Long Chen completely!

Rumble!

After Zhao Kongming released his domain, a destructive force that felt like a giant mountain pressed on Long Chen’s body. It was not an attack from the front—it came from all directions!

It looks like Zhao Kongming is about to break through to the Eighth Heavenly Martial Stage ...

Long Chen had a deep realization of the strength of his opponent.

If he had reached the Eighth Heavenly Martial Stage, Long Chen would be no match for him, just like the six demons from before. However, Zhao Kongming had not broken through yet, and Long Chen was much stronger than when he first arrived in the Three Royal Territories!

“Blood Devouring Domain!” Long Chen had no time to think. The only way was to fight with everything he had!

“Fat Cat, could you use your magic to help me out?” Long Chen asked in a low voice.

“You’re overestimating me. I haven’t finished absorbing the Emperor Crystals, and he’s much stronger than Qian Canglong. How am I going to hypnotize him with my current strength?” Little Cat lamented resignedly.

Since Little Cat could not help him, Long Chen had no choice but to rely on himself.

Using his domain to suppress Long Chen, Zhao Kongming saw hope.

“What’s this?” Zhao Kongming was fascinated by the Blood Devouring Domain. Long Chen was controlling the Blood Devouring Domain with his Fifth-Earthly Martial Stage essence, so it did not have much effect on an expert on Zhao Kongming’s level. Although the Yin Yang Sword Soul’s comprehension of the Sword Path could boost Long Chen’s combat abilities by ten times, this was not enough to increase his Blood Devouring Domain by one level.

However, the divine technique of the ancestral dragon was not this simple. Long Chen could sense that he had not mastered the entirety of this technique yet.

With a surge of passion, Long Chen gritted his teeth and stood up in Zhao Kongming’s domain. Essence surged within his whole body. He unleashed a roar, then charged at the man. Under the insurmountable pressure, he unleashed the Emperor’s Manual technique.

Zhao Kongming wanted to kill Long Chen as quickly as possible.

“You can still fight back while inside my domain. Not bad.” Zhao Kongming smiled now that he had the upper hand.

He put a hand on the Underworld Armor.

“With you, I don’t need to worry about being injured.” He laughed, and emerald-green runes lit up on the armor. An immense energy swirled in the runes, then flowed into Zhao Kongming’s body.

Rumble, rumble.

The surge of energy in Zhao Kongming’s body made Long Chen furrow his brows.

Divine-tier combat technique?

The odds were not in his favor.

Even the worst Underworld Soldier could get a Divine-tier combat technique.

“You’re lucky! You will be able to experience the Underworld Soldiers’ most famous combat technique, the Killing God Sutra! Eighty percent of Underworld Soldiers know how to use this technique! Countless people have died to it ... You’re just the tiniest, most insignificant one.

“Die!”

Zhao Kongming did not show any mercy. An ice-cold killing intent erupted from him, and it seemed to aggregate the wretched souls of countless victims who wailed by Zhao Kongming’s side. The sky-high energy of resentment and anger turned into a powerful killing Qi that loomed over Long Chen.

Long Chen felt goosebumps all over.

Whoosh ...

An ice-cold gust of wind swept past. Zhao Kongming charged at him from the darkness, just like death itself. He swiped at Long Chen’s neck, and Long Chen’s whole world turned dark. The only things that remained were the violent swipe and the domain pressing on his body!

Zhao Kongming and Qian Canglong were only one cultivation level apart, but this was a huge gap. Long Chen had easily gained the upper hand against Qian Canglong with Little Cat’s help. However, he could not do the same in front of Zhao Kongming!

This swipe was likely an attack from the Killing God Sutra.

“Massacre Claw!”

A cold voice rang out, as if it had come from right next to Long Chen’s ear.

“The Killing God Sutra is nothing compared to the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s killing Qi!” Under this great pressure, not only was Long Chen not afraid, but he started to laugh loudly.

What’s the matter with him?

Zhao Kongming was puzzled. The most important part of the Killing God Sutra was the intimidating effect. The killing intent was meant to scare his opponents. Based on the battles he had fought throughout the years, Zhao Kongming knew that the killing intent radiating from his body was enough to scare the average opponent into wetting their pants. Then, he would kill them very casually. However, Long Chen was not affected by the killing intent at all.

That was because Long Chen was the king in terms of killing intent.

He laughed wildly, then aggregated all his strength in his right first. Long Chen activated the Emperor's Manual, and then all the dragon essence in his body was converted into emperor essence!

The regal aura of an emperor who ruled the land and the seas erupted from Long Chen. As if he was facing his natural predator, Zhao Kongming’s aura was forced back when it was met with the emperor’s aura!

The Emperor of Man was the strongest person who ever lived in the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory’s history, and he was also the Five Emperors’ master!

The Emperor’s Manual contained all his learnings of the Emperor’s Path in his lifetime. It contained an innate arrogance that looked down on all other beings. A common elementary Divine-tier combat technique was nothing in front of Long Chen’s Emperor’s Manual!

“Emperor’s Manual—Emperor’s Arrival!”

With a roar, Long Chen’s simmering aura reached its peak and exploded. A golden fist seal flew out of his hand. Zhao Kongming only saw Long Chen looking regal, and it was as if countless beings were worshiping him. Long Chen’s courageous, magnificent aura of an emperor suppressed his Killing God Sutra!

This is also a Divine-tier technique!

With just a brief look, Zhao Kongming confirmed it.

“Kill!” So what if his opponent could use a Divine-tier technique? Long Chen was weaker than himself, and Zhao Kongming had a domain that could suppress him!

The strength of the domain was combined with the strength of the Killing God Sutra!

The exchange between the Massacre Claw and Long Chen’s punch was Long Chen’s highest-level duel to date. After using the Emperor’s Manual just once, he felt like he had used up all the strength in his body. His opponent’s domain was just too powerful!

Long Chen had a stronger determination than his opponent, but Zhao Kongming had a better foundation. Zhao Kongming’s domain was a huge obstacle for Long Chen’s Emperor’s Manual.
