All of the Immortals had suffered a crushing defeat at this moment. They could not even crawl to their feet right now.
This showed the might of the Epoch Skyfiend.
That was when he was truly enraged.
Of course, if the Ling Su Gods had not used the Pure Sword for too long, they would not have been defeated so easily. Their defeat was a matter of course.
At that moment, the Epoch Skyfiend had completely digested the Fiery King. With his Demon Emperor Celestial Prowess that was once the supreme of all worlds, even if the power in his body was only equivalent to the Initial Realm of the Tai Chi Divine Realm, it was not something that an ordinary deity could face. Even a Divine Lord could not face.
Once the fifteen deities were defeated, even without the threat of Shui Lanyan, the entire Spirit Essence Star Ocean was in danger.
Mo Xiaolang chased after Demon Wa. Even if he could defeat Demon Wa and return, it did not seem to change anything. After defeating Shui Lanyan, Long Chen had expended a lot of energy. Now, he was the only deity left with combat power.
After the snow-white sword was sent flying, it stabbed into the Spirit Essence Star, causing it to shake again, causing earthquakes and tsunamis. Many disasters broke out. The passionate battle hymn of the deities was now replaced by cries of despair that resounded throughout the entire Spirit Essence Star Ocean.
They had surrendered and were afraid.
Through the beautiful seven-colored clouds of the Spirit Essence Star Ocean, one could see crying faces. They were not numbers, but real lives. Each of them had their own experiences, emotions, and spirits.
However, the devouring of an Epoch Skyfiend could sever everything for countless lives.
Such a threat had once happened on the Dragon Sacrifice Continent.
The people of the Spirit Essence Star Ocean had already collapsed. Many had chosen to commit suicide. No one was willing to be devoured by this giant demon and never be free. But in fact, they did not understand that the Primeval Troll had devoured their souls. Their suicide made it convenient for the Epoch Skyfiend to devour them.
But at that moment, Long Chen was in front of him.
It was like a clash of fate.
They had never faced each other head-on before, but at this time, they had finished off their opponents and met in the sky above the Spirit Essence Star Ocean. Ji Yuan Skydevil was just about to start devouring when he suddenly saw Long Chen. He saw the look in his eyes that blocked his way. That tiny body was actually so fearless.
It was hard to imagine that he wasn't afraid of her.
"All of you, prepare yourselves. I will lead all of you to a new world. There will be freedom, stability, and there will be no pain or sorrow. I am the Era Heavenly Demon. Becoming the dead spirits in my stomach is also a kind of glory, because all of you are my strength."
Through Long Chen, Ji Yuan's voice resounded throughout the world.
The 15 gods climbed up with great difficulty, but none of them could rush out of the Spirit Essence Star Sea. They did not even have this bit of strength. The despair and panic of all living beings also caused their strength to weaken. They could not hold on any longer.
"Long Chen … Stop him …"
Vaguely, the sage very painfully said to himself.
Of course, Long Chen knew that he had to stop him, but what could he rely on to stop him? Even the Great Sage, the Dark Lord, and the other 13 Gods who wielded the White Sword together couldn't do anything to him.
Era Skyfiend.
That illusory demonic figure was like the Void Eon Dragon. This overlord of time had once been close to the Void Eon Dragon's level, and right now, he was pressing down on Long Chen.
"I will find Lan Yan and help him recover. And you must become a member of my clan. You must be loyal to me for all eternity, and to Lan Yan for all eternity."
Era Skyfiend's illusory eyes stared at Long Chen. That was the divine might of the Demon Emperor, and it suppressed Long Chen to the point where he couldn't breathe. As expected, he wouldn't kill Long Chen that easily. For people at their level, killing was not the best punishment or revenge, but a release for the other party.
The moment Long Chen reneged on the deal, Era Skyfiend was prepared to make him suffer for the rest of his life.
He approached step by step.
Long Chen bit his lower lip and took a few steps back. But he couldn't go any further. The Spirit Essence Star Sea was behind him, and there were people watching him. Perhaps he was their only hope, but that hope wasn't big.
The moment he faced Era Skyfiend, Long Chen thought about many things.
Since the beginning of the Demon Star's calamity, or perhaps this might be the final battle, he had persevered to this extent, killing his opponents one by one until only Demon Wa and Era Skyfiend were left. Demon Wa was already seriously injured, and only Era Skyfiend was left.
Thinking about it carefully, reaching this point could only be described as heaven-defying.
When he first stepped onto the Demon Star, he wasn't even as strong as Soul Devil.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had the courage to face Era Skyfiend.
A good man should be like this. Even if no one believed in him, he had to believe in himself.
Standing on his back were the three trillion living beings of two worlds. Three trillion living beings, each and every one of them was no different from Long Chen. They all had people they loved, and worlds they needed to protect. Everyone's tears were different.
This was definitely more than just a number.
Lingxi, Mo Xiaolang, Kitten, Soyeon, Yang You, the Dragon Emperor, and all his companions from Baiyang Town and True Martial Emperor Palace. They were definitely not numbers, not one, but lives.
How could he stand here at this moment and lose all of this?
Therefore, he stopped retreating. Era Skyfiend couldn't scare him.
"Your courage, luck, and potential are rare in the world. In the future, you might even surpass my peak state and reach an even more terrifying realm. However, you met me. This is fate, the end of your luck."
Era Skyfiend finally said.
"I don't believe in fate, I believe in karma. The evil will die without a burial place, and heaven will destroy them," Long Chen responded loudly.
"What is good, what is evil. Cats eat mice, humans eat beasts. This is the rule of the world. The weak are prey to the strong. How can there be good and evil? I am a demon, and I eat human souls. This is the rule of the world."
Era Skyfiend's voice was like a great bell.
"Although gods and demons are powerful, they are also a part of life. As a life, they devour them, causing trillions of deaths. This is the true destruction of the rules of the world. This is evil."
At this point, Era Skyfiend stopped arguing with Long Chen. In the end, he believed that demons were the rulers and humans were food, while Long Chen believed that gods and demons came from all life, and that all life was their foundation. There was no difference in essence.
However, even if that was the case, it was useless.
If it was evil, then Era Skyfiend would do evil and not frown.
Time stood still.
He imprisoned himself again, making it impossible for him to move. Then, he lost control of his body and was swallowed.
That illusory mouth was getting closer and closer. Long Chen did his best to resist. His divine spirit source power erupted like never before, and he even used time to fight time, but he could only slow down his pace.
Suddenly, he saw a scene.
On Planet Ling Su, a snow-white giant sword was stuck in it. That giant sword rushed into the sky, and on its hilt appeared a nine-colored butterfly. The butterfly flapped its wings and looked at Long Chen.
"That sword."
Long Chen found that other than the fact that it was white, it was no different from Lingxi's sword.
"Little Xi, let the Nine Hells Illusion Butterfly come out."
The Nine Hells Illusion Butterfly had become the core of the Dazzling Star, and the dao spirit of the Butterfly Illusion Sword. As Long Chen said this, he was already struggling. He held the Lingxi Sword in his hand, and the black sword appeared again.
Buzz.
The Nine Hells Illusion Butterfly flew out of the God Nation.
This little butterfly had followed Lingxi inexplicably. It did not know where it came from, and later became the dao spirit of the Butterfly Illusion Sword, but it was not very useful.
"This place, I... I seem to remember something."
The little butterfly flew to Lingxi's sword, and its body shone with nine-colored light. It was swallowed by Era Skyfiend together with Long Chen.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, a shocking and mysterious power erupted from the Lingxi Sword, and it swallowed the Nine Hells Illusion Butterfly. This was the first time in many years that the Lingxi Sword had changed, and it displayed the power that only a destinable divine artifact should have.
Boom.
A black sword aura pierced the Era Skyfiend.
The sword aura splashed, turning into thousands of rays, and engulfed the Era Skyfiend. At that moment, the Era Skyfiend's Time Stop power disappeared, and Long Chen finally rushed out of danger.
He floated above the Spirit Essence Star Ocean, holding the Lingxi Sword in his hand, and looked at the White Sword.
"Spirit Sword."
The colorful butterfly on the White Sword let out a surprised voice. Although the sword was not controlled by anyone, it quickly shrank, rushed out of the Spirit Essence Star, and instantly appeared in front of Long Chen.
This change made everyone in the Spirit Essence Star Ocean stop their cries of despair, and they looked up.
The Era Skyfiend seemed to be restricted, and for a moment, it did not continue to attack Long Chen, but forced out the black sword aura.
On the Spirit Essence Star, the 15 deities gathered together with great difficulty. When they saw this scene, they were all stunned. They looked at the divine sword in Long Chen's hand, which was exactly the same as the White Sword, except for the black color.
"That is... the Spirit Sword, one of the Spirit Essence Swords. The Spirit Sword that was taken away by Emperor Ling Su, a black Spirit Sword. Heavens, how is this possible? How could he bring the Spirit Sword so coincidentally?" The Sage could not hold back his tears.
In fact, the White Sword was not considered a Primordial Chaos grade Fortune Divine Weapon.
Only when it met with the Spirit Sword and the two swords combined would it be at the Primordial Chaos grade. Under normal circumstances, it could only be regarded as half a Primordial Chaos grade.
Now, it was very likely to meet with Ling Su...
Of course, no matter how powerful a destinable divine artifact was, there had to be someone to use it. Therefore, at this moment, although the gods were excited, they understood that the tragic situation would not change. They had been devoured by the pure sword to the point where they were on the verge of death.
"Even if the Spirit Sword appears, it doesn't seem to be able to change anything..."
Seeing the deities' excitement, one of the deities said.
The faces of the others immediately darkened.
"This is... What, a Spirit Sword, what a coincidence." At this moment, the Era Skyfiend dispelled the black sword aura of the Lingxi Sword.
