Back then, during the Hidden Dragon List Battle, Long Chen had used the Soul Saint Jade, causing the Second Supreme Elder to be unable to do anything to him.
Four Supreme Elders had died together, and the matter had blown up. Even the Second Supreme Elder's heart could not take it. Since the establishment of the Punishment Hall, it had never encountered such a huge change.
As for Long Chen's strength …
This was what terrified the Second Supreme Elder the most. He had already sensed that Long Chen's Nirvana Energy was not inferior to his own. Could it be that this young man had always been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? His true strength was in the Nirvana Tribulation Realm.
Long Chen's cultivation realm was what confused others the most.
Right now, Long Chen's strength was like the power of the world, and also like the power of nirvana. Even a true Nirvana Tribulation Realm cultivator like the Second Supreme Elder was confused.
Based on Long Chen's combat prowess, he should be in the Nirvana Tribulation Realm. This was the first time the Second Supreme Elder faced an opponent of the same level since he reached the Nirvana Tribulation Realm. Furthermore, this was a young genius with unknown potential.
The Second Supreme Elder gradually became ruthless. He looked at the frightened crowd and then at the relaxed Long Chen. He smiled coldly and said, "You can be proud now, but you do not know that you have already caused a great disaster. My Punishment Hall is under the command of the highest punishment organization in the Martial God Palace, the Cold Martial Hall. You killed a Supreme Elder of my Punishment Hall, which is a challenge to the might of the Cold Martial Hall. In less than three days, I will report this matter. No matter how talented you are, no matter what backing you have in the Martial God Palace, you will not be able to escape death. Every disciple of the Evil Dragon Palace will be expelled from the True Martial Emperor Palace."
When the people below heard this, they all panicked. No matter how strong Long Chen was, he had offended the authority of the Martial God Palace. Clearly, Long Chen could not deal with a giant like the Martial God Palace. If the people of the Cold Martial Hall descended …
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Shentu Hong and the others had already made up their minds to let Long Chen lead them out of the True Martial Emperor Palace.
After all, after this matter, the Evil Dragon Palace's cohesiveness was still unprecedentedly strong. Everyone felt like they had suffered a loss.
Hearing the other party spout nonsense, Long Chen could not be bothered to argue with him. He quickly rushed towards the other party and narrowed his eyes, revealing a murderous intent. He smiled and said, "The Martial God Palace, huh? Do you think that the Martial God Palace's people can suppress me?"
"Brat, what big words you have there."
The Second Supreme Elder laughed heartily. This kid was simply the type of person who would not shed a tear until he saw the coffin. In his mind, this kind of person would not live long.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to say anything more and directly started the battle.
This battle was the pinnacle battle in the history of the Three Thousand Palaces. Long Chen was the first person who dared to challenge the Punishment Hall. For a moment, everyone was extremely excited. Everyone was guessing if Long Chen could succeed. After all, the other party was a Nirvana Tribulation cultivator. If Long Chen could deal with the other party, just based on his talent alone, he would be able to obtain a high position in the Martial God Palace.
At that time, even the Cold Martial Palace would not be able to stop Long Chen.
The Martial Emperor Palace had never lacked geniuses. However, if one could reach the Nirvana Tribulation within a thousand years, the upper echelons would protect such a person even at the cost of their lives.
The intense battle started instantly. The Second Supreme Elder gathered all the Nirvana Energy in his body. He was like a wolf and a tiger. He also had a special bloodline. It was because of this bloodline that he could survive the Nirvana Tribulation. At this moment, a huge golden snake made of Nirvana Energy coiled around the Second Supreme Elder. As he punched, the power of the Nirvana Tribulation attacked Long Chen with a divine might.
"Insignificant tricks."
Long Chen sneered. Not to mention the Nine Dragons Devouring the Heavens, even the God Slaying Art could easily break through an attack of this level. He stood on the spot and slashed down with the God Slaying Sword. The power of the Nirvana Realm swept out and in the midst of an extremely intense confrontation, he directly cut through the other party's attack. The gray Sword Qi rushed toward the other party's head. The Second Supreme Elder was shocked and quickly retreated.
A commotion could be heard from below.
Long Chen was able to force the Second Supreme Elder to retreat with a single sword strike. This kind of strength was really exciting. The Second Supreme Elder was simply a legend in front of everyone. However, today, the legend was easily defeated by Long Chen.
"You're courting death."
The Second Supreme Elder was terrified. He glared at Long Chen and roared, "Thief, so what if you're powerful? My True Martial Emperor Palace will not tolerate the existence of a traitor like you. Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will uphold justice on behalf of the heavens and kill you on the spot. Sun Concealing Seal, activate!"
As he roared, a small, fiery-red seal rose from his chest and rushed into the clouds. It instantly enlarged and turned into a huge burning mountain that covered the sky. In an instant, the temperature of the entire Evil Dragon Palace soared to an unbearable level. If the Concealing Sun Seal fell from the sky, it would be enough to destroy the entire building of the Evil Dragon Palace.
To the disciples who saw the Doctrine Artifact for the first time, such a terrifying Concealing Sun Seal could only be described as a god. In their eyes, a warrior like the Second Supreme Elder who could control a Divine Artifact and crush a piece of heaven and earth casually was already a god.
"All of you, die."
The Second Supreme Elder's expression was ferocious as he roared. The Concealing Sun Seal that was burning with raging flames fell from the sky and smashed towards Long Chen. For a moment, the sky and earth shook.
Long Chen's gaze was awe-inspiring. He didn't panic like the crowd had imagined. He pointed his longsword at the sky and activated the God Slayer Art, which he had only comprehended one word. In an instant, Sword Qi that represented four negative auras shot towards the sky. The God Slayer Art was the most mysterious. This simple attack split the Shrouding Sun Imprint into four pieces in front of countless stunned gazes. Then, it swallowed the Shrouding Sun Imprint. The Shrouding Sun Imprint, which had infinite power, turned into four small wooden blocks that fell from the sky.
At that moment, the Second Supreme Elder's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. He stared at Long Chen in a daze without saying a word. His chin trembled as if he had seen a ghost.
If he knew that Long Chen had once defeated Wang Chen, whose combat prowess was equivalent to a late stage Nirvana Tribulation cultivator, in the Nine-Star Primal Chaos City, who knew what expression he would have. To Long Chen, today's Second Supreme Elder was just child's play.
Amidst the clamor of the crowd, the four sword Qi of the God Slaying Art changed directions and flew towards the Second Supreme Elder from four different angles. With a few 'pu chi' sounds, both his arms and legs were severed. Blood spurted out and the Second Supreme Elder let out a few miserable cries. His complexion was already as pale as paper.
Watching the four limbs fall, everyone felt like they were dreaming. That indifferent man in the sky, as if he had done something insignificant, was he really so terrifying that he did not even place the Martial God Palace in his eyes? In everyone's hearts, the Martial God Palace was above the Punishment Hall.
Long Chen's God Slaying Sword pierced the Second Supreme Elder's glabella, but he did not manage to stab it in. A gray aura emanated from the lacerations on the Second Supreme Elder's limbs, corroding his flesh and causing him to sweat profusely. If not for Long Chen restraining him and being able to take his life easily, he would definitely be screaming in pain.
This inhumane torture made him extremely regretful.
However, things had already reached the point where they would not rest until one side was dead.
The Second Supreme Elder suddenly laughed loudly. He glared angrily at Long Chen and said, "Just kill me. The more people you kill, the more miserable your fate will be. The seniors of the Martial God Palace will not let you off. You will definitely not be able to escape the Emperor Star. You will definitely die a tragic death. You are the enemy of my True Martial Emperor Palace."
The other people from the Evil Dragon Palace were indeed somewhat worried, but Long Chen would not be fooled. He smiled and said, "Not everything is as you imagine. Old man, the Punishment Hall has not been in charge of punishment for a long time. Corruption prevails. This is all your responsibility. The First Supreme Elder did not deal with you. Today, I will deal with you on his behalf. As for the Martial God Palace, there is no need for you to worry about it."
Seeing that Long Chen was about to kill the Second Supreme Elder, the people from the Three Great Halls and the Punishment Hall were scared out of their wits. They did not dare to step forward and could only curse from the side. The gist of it was that when the seniors of the Martial God Palace found out about the crimes Long Chen had committed today, he would definitely die a tragic death. They advised him to repent and quickly release the Second Supreme Elder.
Before they came, none of them would have thought that something like this would happen …
Just at this moment, the sky brightened. Long Chen suddenly smiled and raised his head. In the distance, three figures were heading in his direction. The three of them quickly arrived before Long Chen. The one in the middle was naturally Wenren Jingtao, who had the highest status. On the left was the Punishment Hall's First Supreme Elder, and on the right was the Martial Fanatic, Nangong Lie.
When Wenren Jingtao and the others arrived, they were about to say something when the Second Supreme Elder roared, "Senior Wenren, save me! My master is your subordinate! Save me! This brat has no respect for the law and offended his superiors. He killed four of our Punishment Hall's First Supreme Elders and three Hall Masters. He is despicable and should be executed. Senior Wenren, my master is Jiang Jinglun."
The Evil Dragon Palace disciples panicked even more. The people from the Martial God Palace had arrived so quickly. Even the First Supreme Elder was here. This time, Long Chen was finished. Furthermore, it seemed like the Second Supreme Elder was related to the people from the Martial God Palace. The Second Supreme Elder's master was actually that person's subordinate …
This time, Long Chen was truly finished.
The people from the Three Great Halls and the Punishment Hall finally heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at Long Chen with schadenfreude.
They were waiting for Wenren Jingtao to judge Long Chen. However, to their surprise, Wenren Jingtao frowned and did not even look at the Second Supreme Elder. Instead, he said to Long Chen, "Finish what you're doing. The Emperor is waiting for you."
The Emperor.
