With the might of a deity, a fatal finger.
Since the appearance of the Portrait of All Living, Long Chen had been feeling helpless. Ever since he lost the Spiritual Formation, he had done everything well. Every day, he had been tensed up, challenging battles with his life on the line. From when he was still a long distance away from Ling Huang, he had fought hard until he defeated the world's number one in every aspect.
He had never thought that the Portrait of All Living would appear and produce such an effect.
After fighting for so many years, Long Chen had never felt tired. It was the same this time. This time, he and Ling Huang had used their bets to force themselves into a dead end, using their deaths to witness this battle. He had used his bravest and most ferocious stance to challenge this supreme expert who had dominated the world for tens of thousands of years. He had already done very well, shocking the world. He had even directly changed the title of the world's number one. However, there were always so many accidents in life, and this Portrait of All Living was one of them.
This caused Long Chen to only smile bitterly as he fought with all his might.
Even the time influence of the Chaotic Time Reversal had been torn apart by his opponent. With his current strength, he naturally knew that the current Ling Huang was too much for him to resist. At this moment, everything he had done seemed to be in vain …
If he fought, he would be defeated, and he would die.
Long Chen had experienced countless battles of life and death. Fortunately, he had not died yet.
However, once the numbers increased, there would always be an accident, such as this time.
Under the suffocating gazes of everyone, the new Divine Soul Calamity Finger tore apart the Chaotic Time Reversal, clashing once again with the Death World Dragon Gate that Long Chen had used all his strength. It was like two old enemies fighting again. Last time, the Death World Dragon Gate had directly pulled the Divine Soul Calamity Finger into the Death World. However, this time was different.
The Divine Soul Calamity Finger didn't just possess an innumerable amount of strength, it also came from the will of a god, forming a crushing destruction. All of this happened too quickly. In the blink of an eye, the world had already changed.
The Divine Soul Calamity Finger stabbed the Death World Dragon Gate, tearing the Death World Dragon Claw apart. However, it still had a strong destructive power, and directly engulfed Long Chen. When the endless white light disappeared, the world seemed to have become peaceful again. It seemed like all the calamities had ended. Only Ling Huang was still standing proudly in the sky like a god. All the Spirit Clan members were still like puppets, deeply kneeling, trembling, and not even daring to raise their heads.
The Grand Demon Lord, Holy Sorcerer, and Sea Emperor all gasped. At this moment, Ling Huang's will was even more terrifying than Primeval Troll's will. If he was angered, it was likely that no one present would be able to survive. At the beginning, in order to make Long Chen go to the Demon Star, they had indeed exerted a lot of pressure on Ling Huang. They were even prepared to take action against the Spirit Clan if anything happened to Long Chen. However, facing Ling Huang, they did not dare to make a move.
At this moment, the world was deathly silent.
The Dragon Emperor's eyes were wide open. They naturally knew that Long Chen seemed to be dead, but at least he still had a life. Therefore, they were waiting for Long Chen's resurrection. As long as Long Chen came back to life, they might be able to negotiate. At this moment, the Human Clan had no choice but to yield, because at this moment, Ling Huang was really too strong.
The All Living Beings Painting seemed to have made him a god.
Above the sky, Ling Huang said lightly, "Yes, it's not over yet. It seems like the top Dragon Martial Artists all have a magical two lives. He is definitely not dead. However, it seems like having an extra life is only enough for me to move my finger."
At this point, he looked at the Grand Demon Lord, the Holy Shaman, and the Sea Emperor. "People from the three clans, I know what you're thinking. You just want him to enter the Devil Star. However, do you really believe that an idiot like him can save the world?"
At this point, he snorted coldly and clenched his fists. "Let me tell you, Ling Huang will always be the number one person in the Eternal God Domain. He will always be the overlord, for generations to come. No one has ever been able to destroy Ling Huang's legend. Not in the past, not today. Even if it seems like it, in the end, both of them are gone. Only I will exist forever."
Following his majestic voice, this news spread throughout the world. The Spirit Emperor had used a mysterious treasure to kill Long Chen, shocking the common people. Now, his divine might was unrivalled, and the people of the four clans were all suppressed. The people of the Spirit Clan had all lost their minds and viewed him as a god.
Yang You gently placed Lingxi's hand to the side. "Don't worry," she said calmly.
She knew that she had no chance of winning, but Long Chen was the hope of Long Qinglan, and the hope of the entire human race. He was also her pride. Therefore, she couldn't let him die. Even if Yang You had to sacrifice his life, she had to protect Long Chen for the sake of the human race. No one blamed Long Chen. Ling Huang didn't have the power to use the All Life Painting, but their bet didn't forbid the existence of such a heaven-defying treasure ….
Long Chen had no idea what had happened.
He experienced the feeling of death. In that instant, he used all the methods he could think of, but he could only watch as his body and everything else was directly torn apart by a huge force. This was a feeling he had never experienced before. Thinking about it, only he could kill people, but no one else could kill him.
He had been on the verge of death countless times, but he had never stepped into it. Not even the flame of life could save him.
"Am I dead?"
In this dark fog, he seemed to be just a mass of fog. He had no form, but he could still think. Admittedly, the feeling of death was very terrifying. But when he thought that he was fighting with Ling Huang, and that he would have a new life, he suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.
He began to think.
As long as he kept thinking, his spiritual will wouldn't dissipate.
In a trance, he felt something pulling him. He focused and saw that it seemed to be a dragon's claw. He couldn't see what it looked like, but it was taking Long Chen forward, out of this world of death.
"What kind of dragon is this?"
Until the end, he couldn't see what the dragon looked like clearly. When the dragon disappeared around him, he seemed to have arrived at another place. In front of him was the exit of a tunnel. He found that his spiritual will had completely condensed, and he was very awake.
In this world, Long Chen saw something different.
That was, in the outside world, there were actually countless thin lines extending from the exit of the tunnel. These thin lines were so small that it seemed like there were trillions of thin lines connecting Long Chen to the entrance of the tunnel. Long Chen saw these thin lines clearly again. They were connected to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
These thin lines integrated into one in his body. Long Chen's figure gradually changed. He found that he had become a tree, emitting a faint fluorescent light. He wasn't big, but he was the core of all the thin lines. At this moment, he was being led by these thin lines, heading towards the world outside the tunnel. Very soon, he would see the light of day again.
"Thin lines, Dragon Sacrificial Continent, Painting of All Living, and the World Tree …"
This information made Long Chen think of many things. He saw the scene of Ling Huang mobilizing the power of the entire Spirit Race through the Painting of All Living. In fact, he also had a similar part. The difference was that he was directly connecting to trillions of lives with his own body, and didn't need the Painting of All Living.
He had seen the World Tree formed from the body of a demigod. That was the core of power, the foundation of the Divine Palace. Now, he was like a World Tree, and the thin lines around him were entangling him, connecting him to countless lives, allowing Long Chen to listen to their voices and understand their stories.
These stories flashed in Long Chen's mind at lightning speed.
After seeing many lives, he found that he had undergone a huge transformation. This was a transformation of his mind. He could even feel a magical power coming from these thin lines. It was this power that made his mind continuously grow. If it was just the power of a single person, it might be so weak that it could be ignored. However, the entire Dragon Sacrificial Continent was a place with trillions of lives.
Compared to Ling Huang's two billion, it was simply too much.
This power didn't seem to be much because of one's strength. All lives were equal. Everyone's cultivation on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent was very weak, but even so, if anyone thought about Long Chen, they would be able to bring about terrifying changes to Long Chen.
After his death, after seeing these thin lines and understanding their stories, Long Chen had a new understanding. He knew that what he had inherited on the Inheritance Dragon Staircase was definitely the same as the Painting of All Living, or even something countless times more precious than the Painting of All Living.
During this process, he gradually swam to the outside world.
He knew that he was going to be reborn.
At the same time, he felt that he had the same feeling that Ling Huang had before. Even though the trillions of lives had given him a little bit of power when he died, the spiritual power formed from each of them had surpassed everything. Long Chen couldn't ask them to give him more, but this time, it was enough for him to benefit.
"Ling Huang."
Long Chen heard his voice and heard his' heroic words' after defeating him. He also knew that he must be very proud at this moment. He was waiting for Long Chen to be reborn so that he could truly end him.
"Victory and defeat haven't been decided yet."
After experiencing this death, Long Chen had a new understanding of the so-called gods. He realized that there were still many secrets in this world that he couldn't imagine. For example, the miraculous situation that the Inheritance Dragon Staircase had given him was one of them. Everything in the Origin Dragon Palace was the same.
He still had so many things that he hadn't completed, how could he die?
Just like that, in the most peaceful time, a new life was born in this world. From death to rebirth, it was a metamorphosis. No one understood what had happened. Everyone was extremely worried. They knew that when Long Chen appeared this time, he would welcome a new death. However, when this new life really appeared, they were shocked to find that he was shockingly similar to Ling Huang.
