Chapter 5168 Eight Star Battle Armor

Mentioning Xing Wujiang was like picking at a deep wound in Long Chen and Mo Nian’s hearts. Moreover, Han Qianye’s scornful remarks only enraged Long Chen even further.

With fury blazing in his eyes, Long Chen swung Evilmoon down with immense force. Han Qianye desperately raised his staff to block, but Long Chen’s relentless power drove him back with each strike. The impacts gradually numbed Han Qianye’s arms.

Long Chen attacked like a madman, causing the land to quiver with every blow. On the sixth attack, Han Qianye suddenly spat out blood.

In a split second, Han Qianye’s staff was cleaved in two by Evilmoon, and an ice-cold Saber Qi tore through his body, leaving a deep gash from the top of his head down to his abdomen. Blood sprayed through the air; he was nearly sliced open.

In the distance, Lu Fan’s weeping voice echoed, “Domain Lord, with the Glacial Heaven barrier up, we can’t wait for reinforcements!”

After Han Qianye emerged, Lu Fan was brimming with confidence, certain that Han Qianye would easily defeat Long Chen. But as the battle unfolded, Han Qianye was repeatedly pushed back, his power unable to suppress Long Chen.

Feeling uneasy, Lu Fan started to regret activating the Glacial Heaven barrier, which turned this place into a prison. What was initially intended as a trap for Long Chen now felt like a trap for himself.

As the situation took a turn for the worse, Lu Fan immediately tried to send out a call for reinforcements. To his shock, he discovered that the area was sealed by a mysterious energy, making communication with the outside world impossible. Fear gripped him—if Han Qianye were to fall, the horrific events of the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain’s core would replay, and he knew his death wouldn’t be far away.

When Han Qianye heard Lu Fan’s frantic cries, his heart sank as if struck by lightning. With a furious roar, his manifestation flared to life, and a figure appeared within it—Fallen Daynight.

Fallen Daynight’s figure instantly merged on top of Han Qianye’s body, and a wild qi wave erupted, blasting Long Chen away. He felt like he had been struck in the chest by a hammer, and he spat out blood.

“What?!”

This sudden change shocked everyone, including Mo Nian. Seeing the raging qi waves filled with Emperor might, they all jumped in fright.

“Not good. Han Qianye has been pressed by Long Chen to the point that he has merged with his god’s energy. By using the faith energy in the air, he forcibly raised his realm to the Human Emperor realm. He is no longer a half-step Human Emperor but a true Human Emperor,” explained Bai Yingxuan with a quivering voice.

“What? If he had such a trump card, why did he keep it until now?” asked Mo Nian.

“Because once he uses this technique, he will lose any chance of advancing to the Human Emperor realm in this lifetime,” answered Bai Yingxuan.

BOOM!

“Long Chen, I will tear you into a million pieces!” Han Qianye roared, his voice echoing with pure rage. Suddenly, he smashed his fist into the ground, and a terrifying shockwave rippled through the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, causing cracks to spiderweb across its surface. Everyone within felt as if they had been struck by a massive hammer, barely managing to hold themselves together.

They were all stunned by the sheer force of the attack. Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had blocked most of the impact for them, or they would have perished just now.

Looking outside, they were horrified to see that within the Glacial Heaven Domain, the only ones still standing were Han Qianye, Long Chen, and the trembling Lu Fan hiding in the distance. Everyone else had been wiped out.

Long Chen was the closest to Han Qianye and had received the greatest impact. He spat out three mouthfuls of blood before managing to suppress his injury.

At this moment, Han Qianye seemed like a madman, his hair standing on end. With every step he took, the Glacial Heaven barrier shook.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest quivered under the overwhelming qi waves erupting from Han Qianye. The white dragon race’s disciples frantically poured their blood soul power into the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, struggling to bolster its defenses. If it failed, they would lose their final shield and die.

“I, Long Chen, have never said any empty words. Even if you’ve advanced to the Human Emperor realm, so what? As I said, I am unrivaled beneath the Human Emperor realm, and against a Human Emperor, I can go one on one!” Long Chen declared, his voice brimming with determination.

Taking a deep breath, Long Chen formed hand seals with precision. On his eighth seal, eight tiny whirlpools materialized behind him.

“Eight Star Battle Armor!” Long Chen shouted, and eight stars ignited within the whirlpools.

A surge of power exploded out of Long Chen’s body, transforming into an enormous pillar of light that soared into the sky and struck the Glacial Heaven barrier, which shuddered and cracked.

Han Qianye had just gotten close to Long Chen when he was sent tumbling back by Long Chen’s aura. The fury on his face vanished, replaced with pure shock.

As Long Chen’s aura climbed, gravity seemed to vanish, causing rubble, broken weapons, and shattered limbs to float. After rising to a certain height, they were suddenly crushed to bits.

Long Chen’s aura continued to climb, scouring heaven and earth. The barrier’s cracks continued to grow.

“How is this possible?!” shouted Lu Fan. In the distance, Lu Fan was completely terrified, watching as the cracks in the barrier grew.

This barrier contained an entire domain’s power. Unless someone had the power to destroy the Glacial Heaven Domain, they couldn’t break this barrier. Yet, Long Chen’s aura alone had pushed it to the brink of collapse.

Suddenly, Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood right as his aura was in the middle of rising.

“As expected, this is too forced,” Long Chen muttered, acknowledging the strain.

Despite having condensed the Nirvanic Charge Star, Long Chen hadn’t had a chance to fully test it before the battles began. His attempt to harness the Eight Star Battle Armor had resulted in his power becoming unbalanced, causing his astral energy to spiral into chaos.

“This is my chance!” Han Qianye’s voice rang out as he shot toward Long Chen like a bolt of lightning, a saber materializing in his hand.

“Even an incomplete Eight Star Battle Armor isn’t something a fake Human Emperor like you can imagine,” Long Chen snorted, his eyes narrowing.

The eight-star diagram behind him flickered, and the turbulent power within him began to find its way. As if responding to his will, Evilmoon suddenly flared with an intense, radiant light.

BOOM!

A colossal saber-image surged into the sky, slashing through the Glacial Heaven Barrier with devastating force. The barrier shattered under the relentless assault, and Han Qianye, along with his Human Emperor divine weapon, was obliterated.

The Saber Qi continued its path, and the entire Glacial Heaven Domain trembled as Long Chen’s saber cut through the realm, splitting it from the heavens to the earth.

In the wake of the destruction, Han Qianye lay dead, and the once-mighty Glacial Heaven Domain was reduced to ruin. Countless experts who had once filled the domain were now nothing but vanished shadows; their bones, too, had disappeared without a trace.

Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood once more. His body swayed, and he almost collapsed. At this moment, Bai Yingxue and the others rushed to support him.

“Quick, leave! More people are coming!” Long Chen urged urgently, feeling like he would pass out.
