Shadows.
Every Long Qinglan on the black meatball looked down at the people below with absolute disdain, as if they weren't even living beings in their eyes.
Beside the meatball were hundreds of illusory Void Universe Dragons that were entangled around it. At that moment, the hundreds of Void Universe Dragons landed one after another. The huge dragon heads gathered together, and those huge and numerous eyes stared at every living thing in Eternal Dragon City.
Fear, suffocation, despair …
These were like sharp knives that cut through everyone's body, leaving them riddled with scars and in extreme pain. They had no way to escape. Many people were shouting through the Star Talismans, but it was of no use. They could only transmit their fear to others.
Something so terrifying had happened in Eternal Dragon City. The defeat of the Seven Great Dragon Emperors had shaken the entire Eternal Celestial Domain. Even all the living beings in the vicinity had been shaken. Ever since Long Qinglan's death, nothing as terrifying as this had happened in the Eternal Celestial Domain.
Countless screams of despair made all living beings tremble. Even the four great Demon Forefathers' Cities of the Demon Divine Realm and Ling Huang of the Spirit Divine Realm were no exception. For a million years, only one person had ever defeated the seven Dragon Emperors, and that was the Eternal Dragon Emperor. Not even Ling Huang had been able to do it, but today, there was one more …
And it was a beast of unknown origin.
The seven Dragon Emperors were close to death, and time had stopped.
In the sky, the heads of countless Void Cosmic Dragons began to descend, and the power of time fluctuated violently. As the Void Cosmic Dragons approached, everyone found that the flow of time on their bodies accelerated, and they aged even faster. Many of them were still some time away from the 1,000-year time limit, but under the influence of this, they underwent the Tribulations in an instant, and some were even killed on the spot by the 18 Tribulations.
More and more Void Infinity Dragons approached, and time passed faster and faster.
"We're done for."
"Dead, we're all going to die. But what the hell is this thing?"
Hundreds of thousands of people were in pain and confusion. They crawled helplessly on the ground, trembling. The Black Yama Beast in the sky was indifferent.
The hundreds of Void Infinity Dragons suddenly began to dance, causing the entire Eternal Dragon City to tremble. Everyone was in even greater despair, as if death was upon them …
Hatred and sorrow filled Long Chen's heart.
The seven Dragon Emperors' desperate and powerless eyes, the hundreds of thousands of people's sorrowful wails, and the screams of the common people, but he was powerless to do anything. And in front of him was such a familiar Void Cosmic Dragon …
"Why?"
He was unconvinced.
He could not be defeated. He could not be defeated. His world, his bloodline, his pursuit, his beliefs. He could not be defeated, much less die in such an ignorant manner.
All of this became the rage in his heart.
He stared blankly at the approaching Black Yama Beast. Even he did not know what he was doing. This feeling was much more terrifying than when he had faced the City Lord of the Wronged. But at this moment, he actually soared into the air and headed towards the Black Yama Beast.
"Long Chen."
Many people saw what he was doing and shouted his name.
His ears were buzzing, but he didn't hear it.
His body was still moving forward. In the process, he occasionally looked back and saw many people looking at him in surprise. They were the few who could still maintain their rationality. Basically, they were Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Retribution Realm warriors with demigod bodies.
But even with demigod bodies, they could not escape.
"What do you want to do? Just wait for your death."
Today, the Blue Fire Emperor was already living in deep remorse. In the face of the great calamity, he had already let go of his jealousy and hatred towards Long Qinglan.
"I can't die in a powerless state."
Long Chen said softly.
He did not want to awaken anything. That was his truest thought. Even if he were to die, he wanted to die in an attack, not in fear and despair.
Therefore, when everyone was still struggling in the shadow of death, he stood in front of the Black Yama Beast with his tiny body, in front of everyone's incredulous and incomprehensible gazes.
Compared to the Black Yama Beast, he was so small that he could not be noticed.
But more and more people noticed him. They realized that this young man who was about to be judged was now not afraid of death. He moved forward bravely and stood proudly in the sky.
What he was facing was the Black Yama Beast that was about to touch his body.
"What is he going to do?"
Amidst the miserable despair, and with their surroundings completely destroyed, more and more people had this thought in their minds.
"Is he courting death?"
Clearly, he was courting death.
But Long Chen was definitely not just that.
At this moment, the Black Yama Beast seemed to have noticed him. To the Black Yama Beast, Long Chen was naturally a special person. The dragon heads that were about to reach for Eternal Dragon City suddenly stopped in front of Long Chen.
"What's going on? Is he in cahoots with this monster?"
Everyone could not help but feel angry.
Although it had stopped, the Black Yama Beast still looked at him warily. Hundreds of Void Infinity Dragons were waving around Long Chen.
The crowd held their breaths again.
And at this moment, Long Chen seemed to know what he had to do. He had lost too badly. As the Eternal Dragon Emperor, he should not have lost so badly. Not only was he dead, but his corpse was being used by the other party to suppress and kill his own people.
He could not accept it.
He was not worth it.
He was a great hero in Long Chen's heart that no one could compare to. He was a man of indomitable spirit. Even if he had died, he should not have ended up like this.
Long Chen clenched his fists. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the Black Yama Beast. Since it had shown him mercy, then Long Qinglan's will must still be in the body of the Black Yama Beast.
He wouldn't be annihilated so easily. He had even allowed Long Chen to be born even after his death. How could he have fallen to the point of being annihilated?
"Father."
At this time, even though the terrifying Void Infinity Dragons had surrounded him, he did not seem to hear them. His blood was boiling, and all his anger was focused on his voice.
"Are you willing to be controlled like this? Are you willing to be defeated like this? Are you willing to be controlled by the enemy and die a humiliating death?"
On the day Long Chen's life had truly begun to change, in the forest beside Baiyang Town, he had told Long Chen that if he wanted dignity, he had to be strong.
"You are so strong. How can you let others control you? Where is your dignity?"
He continued to roar, hoping to awaken Long Qinglan. Everyone thought that Long Qinglan had died a long time ago, but he firmly believed that he still had a will. It was just like Long Chen's fighting spirit. Even if he died, it wouldn't be extinguished. It would exist forever in this world.
Of course, no one acknowledged Long Chen. They just thought that he was doing something in vain.
But the fact that he had such courage made everyone deeply admire him. They also understood that Long Chen and the Black Yama Beast really had nothing to do with each other.
In Long Chen's heart, this was a true pioneer, a true hero. He would not be defeated so easily.
Just like himself.
At that moment, he forgot himself and rushed towards the Black Yama Beast.
"It's over."
The crowd gasped.
Even the seven Dragon Emperors did not dare to approach it, but Long Chen was doing this. If this was not suicide, what was?
The Black Yama Beast that covered the sky let out a shrill threatening cry. It only needed to use a little bit of power to kill Long Chen.
The dragon heads were already moving, as if the Eternal Year Rings were about to be unleashed.
"Long Qinglan, Eternal Dragon Emperor. Have you forgotten your name?"
Long Chen couldn't help but cry. He wasn't afraid of death, he just felt that this hero's body shouldn't be desecrated. No one could do it, but as his son, he was actually powerless to help him. So at this time, he could only rely on himself.
The Eternal Dragon Emperor.
This was the highest honor of the entire human race.
He ruled over the human race and the five great dragon cities.
For millions of years, he was the first Eternal Dragon Emperor.
He had lost, but how could his corpse be reduced to such a ghastly state?
It was like a miracle....
The Black Yama Beast suddenly screamed in pain.
The tentacles of the Void Universe Dragon that were reaching out to Long Chen suddenly trembled as if they had been electrocuted. Its painful screams tore the eardrums of countless dragon warriors on the spot. Countless people cried out in pain, and Long Chen bore the brunt of it until his ears bled and he could no longer hear clearly.
But that was nothing.
He had already rushed to the side of the meatball. Before him were the countless Long Qinglan figures. They were so close to him. They were lifelike, but too fierce, completely different from him.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Long Chen stepped forward without another word. He stretched out his hands and held one of Long Qinglan's heads. He glared at him and roared, "Wake up. You can't lose. We can't lose, father."
His chest was filled with grievances and indignation. All these years, he had been fighting hard to follow his own path, to complete his father's long-cherished wish before his death. Now, he was very close to success ….
"Even if we lose, we cannot lose so humiliatingly. Father, you are the Eternal Dragon Emperor, the hero of history. These disgusting monsters have taken over your body. Will you let them kill your own kind? Are you willing?"
He almost screamed his lungs out.
The hundreds of thousands of people below stared at him blankly. Would this work? It was impossible.
Of course, Long Chen was not sure if it would work, but this was his only option. It was better than waiting for death.
In fact, when he roared out all of this, he was disappointed. That's right, this was simply ridiculous. What was the point of roaring out like this? Those who should die would still die, and those who should be destroyed would still be destroyed. In the face of absolute power, who could resist?
He loosened his arms helplessly.
The Black Yama Beast's Void Cosmic Dragon writhed violently again, as if struggling. It screamed shrilly.
