From the beginning to the end, only a split second had passed. The gods who were prepared to admire the Perfected Divine Lord's heroic bearing had never expected the battle to end in such a short time.
It could only be described as an instant kill.
Although he had not been killed, Long Chen had indeed subdued Divine Lord Tempest with a single strike.
Therefore, to them, there was no need to mention how shocking the battle was.
Back then, they had heard of Long Chen subduing Thunder God from the Ninth Heaven with a single strike. However, Thunder God from the Ninth Heaven was only a Primordial realm Divine Lord. He was incomparable to Divine Lord Tempest.
Long Chen sheathed his two swords and clapped his hands in front of the gods as though nothing had happened. It was as though he had done something insignificant. He was considered benevolent. If he had really wanted to kill her, it would not have been a single punch. Instead, it would have been two creation divine weapons at the Genesis level or above that would have pierced into Divine Lord Tempest's body.
A single punch would only embarrass her. Of course, it would not have seriously injured her.
However, Long Chen had already achieved his greatest goal. He had not wanted to kill her in the first place. Killing her would only bring him more trouble. To Divine Lord Tempest, humiliation was much worse than death.
Needless to say, the kitten was so happy that it kept meowing happily.
In fact, even without the Primordial Divine Dragon Heavenly Tribulation source, Long Chen would have been able to do so. The only difference was that he had previously used his two swords, Time Rupture. His strength had been drained and he was in a worse state than Kitten. However, it was different now. Although the Primordial Divine Dragon Heavenly Tribulation source had just been converted and it had yet to be completed, he could still fight.
Against Divine Lord Tempest, who had been mostly drained by Time Rupture, it should not be difficult for him to obtain victory with his remaining strength and powerful recovery abilities. This meant that he could defeat a perfected Divine Lord before becoming a god.
This was already a myth.
Of course, after the gods reacted, a portion of them rushed to receive Divine Lord Tempest while the others surrounded Long Chen. Their voices were fierce, as though Long Chen had committed a grave mistake. All of them were furious. At the end of the day, they did not treat Long Chen as one of their own.
Why are you so nervous? Do you have an affair with the Storm Emperor? It seems that the Storm Emperor is quite flirtatious. I punched her once, so she must feel good now. I think she wants more. Don't you think so? "Long Chen smiled and said," What's wrong, seniors? I've already agreed with the Storm Emperor. It's just a competition. There will always be a winner and a loser. I can't kill her, so why are you so nervous? Do you have an affair with the Storm Emperor? It seems that the Storm Emperor is quite flirty.
The eyes of the gods were strange. There were many strange emotions in them, such as anger, forbearance, arrogance, and so on …
One of the Deities angrily said, "Insignificant brat, you have no respect for your elders, openly provoking us with vulgar words. To think that you claim to have defeated the Primeval Troll and saved the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. You're just a first-rate scoundrel, what qualifications do you have to be on par with us Deities? That brother of yours has already been imprisoned for life, I think you'll definitely end up the same as them."
Long Chen licked his lips, looked at him coldly, and said, "Is that so? You'll have to wait until I kill you."
To be honest, it was not easy for him to cultivate a little bit of respect for the Deities. But now, it had all been used up. He could be considered to have seen through the nature of this group of people. In the past, the Deities in his heart were the symbol of wisdom, the universal love, the faith of all living beings, just like the Deities in the Spirit Essence Star Sea. Although they were hostile towards Long Chen at the beginning, they were determined to defend the Spirit Essence Star Sea, even if they died.
But the Deities in front of him were selfish, insatiable, scheming against each other, fighting against each other, and following the law of the jungle. They were no different from mortals. It was hard to imagine how they, Deities who had cultivated for more than ten million years, could still act like this.
Hearing what Long Chen said, the Deities were infuriated. But they only surrounded Long Chen and did not dare to act rashly. After all, Divine Lord Tempest was already one of the strongest among them. If even Divine Lord Tempest was defeated so quickly, who knew what would happen if they surrounded him.
This matter should be left to the God King of Hell to punish Long Chen.
Divine Lord Tempest returned with the help of two Deities. She was sent flying far away and smashed through thousands of mountains. Her body was in a mess and covered in dust. Her originally cold and elegant face had turned ugly, and her cheeks were swollen. This was the work of Long Chen's Primordial Divine Dragon Heavenly Tribulation Source Power.
Now that the main character had returned, the Deities immediately shared a common enemy with her.
Divine Lord Tempest clenched her fists tightly as she stood in front of Long Chen. The little guy in front of her had a smile on his face. Divine Lord Tempest was infuriated. Her huge chest heaved up and down as she pointed at Long Chen, unable to say a word.
"Loser, scram."
Long Chen was too lazy to argue with her. Since she was against Mo Xiaolang, he would punish her. In reality, this matter was mainly Thunder God from the Ninth Heaven's fault. It had nothing to do with Divine Lord Tempest. Saving Xiao Lang and Yan Er was mainly up to the God King of Hell.
"Fellow Daoists, I've suffered such humiliation from this kid today, so I hope that everyone will join me in teaching him a lesson so as to avoid him looking down on us. If such an arrogant and despotic person isn't disciplined, he'll surely disregard the law and do as he pleases. Perhaps one of us will die miserably at his hands one day."
Divine Lord Tempest roped in the others.
The other Deities looked at each other. Due to Divine Lord Tempest, even though they knew that Long Chen was powerful, they could not avoid it. The Deities surrounded Long Chen and exerted their might at the same time. There were three Perfect Realm Deities among them. Long Chen knew that unless he became a Deity, he would not be able to handle this group of people.
This caused an even greater change in his heart.
"Deities … Deities, is this what they are?"
He still did not listen to the Dragon Emperor's words and integrate with them. From what he saw, Long Chen was not on the same path as them. How could he integrate with them?
Speaking of which, he was still not convinced.
What he wanted to do the most was to become a Deity and then go to the Origin Dragon Palace to have a look. Or, if he had the chance, he could find the real inheritance of Deity Emperor Ling Su with Spiritual Sword Su Jian. He wanted to see what was the relationship between Lord Spirit, Plain Maiden, and Deity Emperor Ling Su.
Now, he had to think about how to protect his life under their siege.
However, Long Chen did not have to worry anymore. Although the situation was critical and the Deities were bound to teach him a lesson, they would not do so after the Divine King of Hell returned.
"What's going on?"
The Divine King of Hell's evil and charming voice could be heard from afar. The Deities were shocked. They quickly withdrew their Divine Power and stopped their fighting stance. They were about to attack.
Swoosh.
There was a soft sound. The Divine King of Hell wore a grey robe and his long hair fluttered in the wind. He appeared in front of everyone. His eyes were cold and charming. When he glanced around, the Deities felt a chill in their hearts.
"I asked you, what's going on?"
He emphasized his tone.
The Deities were about to answer and use the opportunity to let the Divine King punish Long Chen. Unexpectedly, Long Chen was faster. His voice suppressed the Deities and he said, "Divine King, I have returned from the Curse World and would like to see my brother Xiao Lang and my sister Soyeon. Since the Divine King is not here, I have to wait here. However, the Deities seem to think that the Hell God City is their territory and want to chase me away."
The Storm God King quickly stood up and said loudly, "Divine King, don't listen to his nonsense. He was the one who wanted to barge into the Hell God City. I risked my life to stop him, but I was severely injured."
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh. "The Storm God King is really good at making things up. I don't know who was the one who said that you will be responsible for the battle. Do you dare to say that you didn't say such things? Do you dare to say that you didn't chase me away?"
The Storm God King was stunned. She did say those things. The Hell God King wasn't an idiot. He knew what had happened with just a pause.
"You were defeated by Long Chen."
He looked at the Storm God King in disbelief.
The Storm God King gritted her teeth and felt extremely embarrassed. She actually had to admit to such a thing. Her heart felt like it was being bitten by ants. She stammered, "I was careless and fell for his trap."
The Hell God King sized up Long Chen and suddenly clapped. "Not bad. You actually learned a Boundless Divine Technique in the Curse World. It greatly increased your strength and it is a Boundless Divine Technique that belongs to the divine dragon. Long Chen, when we were fighting the Curse World Protector, you were the one who made the Curse World Protector compromise and let us out. Am I right?"
Long Chen was shocked. He didn't expect the Storm God King to know everything. It seemed like the secret conversation he had in the God Nation couldn't be hidden from the Storm God King.
"From a certain perspective, you are our savior. Therefore, everyone, you'd better be more respectful to Long Chen in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. I've already said it so clearly, do you still not understand?"
The Hell God King shouted.
All the gods knelt down in fright. Their faces were pale. They didn't expect such a thing to happen. The Hell God King actually placed so much importance on Long Chen. The Storm God King understood that he had suffered that punch for nothing. In the future, he would forever be suppressed by Long Chen. He would be humiliated by him and he wouldn't be able to retaliate.
"Understood. We all understand."
All the gods said miserably.
Long Chen was a little surprised by this. He had just hated the gods, but now that the God King of Hell was protecting him …
Of course, this wasn't the main reason why he came here today. The Hell God King might have done this because he had saved Di Yao twice. It might also be because he had asked the Curse Realm Protector to let them off. Of course, at that time, Long Chen just didn't want the Curse Realm to be destroyed by the Divine Emperor Jun.
At this time, the Hell God King said to Long Chen earnestly, "You are the young hero of our Dragon Sacrificial Continent and have saved the young Divine Emperor's life. All the gods have to respect you. Of course, the same goes for Mo Xiaolang. However, there is one thing you have to understand. The gods have their own rules. For millions of years, the gods of our Dragon Sacrificial Continent have always acted according to these rules. We can't kill each other unless you are at least five levels stronger than the other party. For example, I don't need to take responsibility for killing Divine Generals. However, Mo Xiaolang and the others killed Divine Monarchs. Let me make it clear to you. I only pardoned his death sentence on account of his great contributions and changed it to life imprisonment. This is already the most lenient punishment I can give.
