They were eight divine kings with identical appearances. It was impossible to tell their genders apart, and every single divine king was basically equally powerful. Compared to the Darkstar Divine King who kept a low profile and kept a low profile, the eight divine kings were extremely powerful. Their divine might was tremendous, giving the Godkings tremendous pressure. As a result, all the Godkings only dared to watch from afar, afraid to approach them.
The God Realm of Absolute Beginning was the realm of cultivation that all the Godkings on the King Tier Battlefield yearned for. It was their lifelong dream, their only wish when they came to the God Realm of Absolute Beginning. As a result, when they saw the eight divine kings, they all felt deep reverence towards them.
However, Long Chen was different. The eight divine kings were his targets of challenge, but he still needed some time.
When he appeared, the eight divine kings all focused their scorching gazes on him. This was a mental assault, making Long Chen feel like he was standing before eight giants. This was a deep sense of reverence. Of course, this was all created by the eight divine kings.
"Long Chen."
The eight divine kings basically spoke up at the same time, calling out Long Chen's name.
In order to chase after Long Chen, they had circled around the Fiendgod Buzhou Mountain for half a day. To think that Long Chen would be in the Fiendgod Buzhou Mountain!
"Long Chen."
The Godkings all knew that Long Chen's name should be Yang Chen.
Long Chen said to the Darkstar Divine King, "Senior, it's exactly because they're looking for me that I changed my name to Yang Chen. Actually, my original name is Long Chen."
Names were not important.
The Darkstar Divine King did not care. He could tell that he was protecting Long Chen this time. When Long Chen appeared, he stood beside Long Chen and said, "The eight of you, Long Chen is the only disciple of my brother, the Dong Hua Great Emperor, as well as the successor of my brother, the Primordial Dao Emperor. He's the successor of my two brothers, so no matter what reason you have, you can't touch a single hair on him before my eyes."
Long Chen was currently in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. The eight divine kings could not enter unless the Darkstar Divine King was willing to enter and drag Long Chen out.
Let me tell you, we know him better than you do. He comes from a world that can't even be considered a dream level world, and he's the only god there. It's only because he got lucky that he got to where he is today. Two of our Eternal God Clan's Divine Kings passed by his world, and they were killed by this brat. We came here from the Sacrificial God Great World to avenge those two Divine Kings. "" You're joking, disciple of Great Emperor Dong Hua? You're just lucky enough to get the Fate Divine Artifact that Great Emperor Dong Hua left behind after he was defeated in battle.
The Godkings were extremely surprised when they heard that. They never thought a world that could not even be regarded as a fantasy world could produce someone like Long Chen. They found Long Chen to be a miracle.
After hearing that, Long Chen could not help but laugh. He said, "The eight of you sure are in a good mood. For the sake of avenging two Godkings, you've actually crossed such a vast region of stars and come looking for a nameless disciple like me. How flattering. Do you think I don't know your intentions? Do you need me to say it here?"
Their intentions were obviously the Eternal Opal.
They still had no idea that Di Jun had already descended on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent and taken away the Eternal Opal. They had only come to capture Long Chen now because they wanted Long Chen to lead the way so that they could find the Dragon Sacrificial Continent more easily.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that its master has taken away the Eternal Opal a long time ago. It's said that its master is a final realm divine king. I wonder if the eight of you can still steal the Eternal Opal from him."
Upon hearing this, the eight God Emperors were dumbfounded.
"The Eternal Opal."
The Darkstar Divine King was stunned too. He knew that was a seventh grade Eternal Opal, a chaotic treasure with tremendous effects. He never thought Long Chen, a mere Godking, would actually recognise something like that.
And, it even involved a final realm divine king.
Every single final realm divine king was a peak expert of the myriad worlds. They were existences that even he, the Darkstar Divine King, could only look up to.
"Has its master returned?"
The divine kings of the eternal God race looked at one another. As it seemed, they had come up empty-handed this time. They did not recognise the divine king, Di Jun. After all, the difference between the Heavenly Ritual Region and the Taihao Region was just too great. However, they never thought that the person in possession of the Eternal Opal would actually be a final realm divine king.
They were not bold enough to touch the items of a final realm divine king.
However, all of this was just Long Chen's one-sided statement. They were unable to trust him completely.
They were also unwilling to divulge more information about the Eternal Opal in public.
They were still determined to capture Long Chen. They could not possibly return with their tails between their legs. Even if they could not take away the Eternal Opal, they still had to avenge Shen Yang and Shen Qiong. Only then would they not lose face.
As a result, the eight divine kings were united once again.
They glanced at one another and secretly approached the Darkstar Divine King. The one at the very front said, "No matter what, Long Chen has killed a Godking of our Godsacrifice Great World, so he's basically killed a member of our Heaven Region Alliance. Today, I want to avenge my Godking. We're all members of the Heaven Region Alliance, so if the Darkstar Divine King stops us from avenging him, isn't that a little too much?"
The Darkstar Divine King made up his mind. "Long Chen is fated with Dong Hua and Chaotic Prime. He can be considered a part of the Heaven Region Alliance, and he's even a Godking from the Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts. No matter the reason, I can't let you take him away."
His words and actions were resolute, showing no respect to the eight divine kings at all. He also completely cut off their intentions.
The eight divine kings were furious.
Although they were Primordial realm divine kings, there were a total of eight of them. Now that the Darkstar Divine King was so disrespectful, if they fled with their tails between their legs, they would be utterly humiliated.
"God dammit."
"I didn't think Long Chen would be so lucky. He's obtained the Darkstar Divine King's protection as soon as he arrived on Mount Buzhou."
"And the Darkstar Divine King just happens to look down on our eternal God clan, showing no respect at all."
They flew into a rage out of humiliation.
The eight divine kings struggled to hold themselves back. They said furiously, "Darkstar Divine King, we won't fight you because we're all members of the Heaven Region Alliance. Don't go overboard. Our eternal God clan isn't pushovers. We all know who's going overboard today. You'll regret offending us for the sake of a measly figure in the future."
To be honest, they did not really know the Darkstar Divine King. The Darkstar Divine King was renowned for his stubbornness. Why would he guard the King level Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts? Actually, he had been punished here. The Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts was like his prison.
As a result, he directly said, "I've made up my mind. If you don't accept this, you're completely free to attack me. I'll keep you company to the very end. If you're too afraid, then don't say anything useless in front of me. Take care."
"You've gone too far."
The eight divine kings were furious, and the flames of battle began just like that. Seeing how the divine kings were about to erupt in battle, the spectating Godkings were taken aback in a hurry. They all returned to the Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts, leaving Long Chen alone at the entrance of the Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts. He could not just leave. After all, the Darkstar Divine King was fighting for his sake.
Boom!
The Darkstar Divine King actually began fighting against eight divine kings alone, and they were right next to the Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts. Long Chen only felt his vision darken, and he could not see anything anymore. Fortunately, the Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts was an eternal god artifact in the hands of a final divine king. The battle between the nine divine kings was unable to affect this place.
Boom! Boom!
As they fought, they pulled away from each other.
Long Chen raised his head. The sky was filled with resplendent stars. Suddenly, a colossal, black star appeared, looming over the entire Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts. The colossal star was basically the size of the Divine Star of Destiny, but it was even more terrifying. It possessed a terrifying weight.
"This should be the Darkstar of the Darkstar Divine King."
It was a weapon he had refined.
The battle continued.
The great rumbles were just like the battle between the Dong Hua Great Emperor and the mysterious person in the past, kicking up powerful storms that swept through the surroundings and caused the black sand to churn. Everything was obscured. Last time, they were protected by the seal, but this time, if it were not for the protection of the Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts, Long Chen probably would have been swept up as well.
He could vaguely make out several streaks of white light around the Darkstar, but they were unable to stop the Darkstar Divine King. Although there were eight of them, their cultivations were not as great as the Darkstar Divine King's. Although the eight of them worked together in a wondrous manner, they probably were still not the Darkstar Divine King's opponent. At the very least, they could not injure the Darkstar Divine King. As a result, Long Chen stopped worrying.
"A battle between divine kings sure is something I yearn for. I just wonder if I, Long Chen, can contend against a divine king right now."
The battle made Long Chen's blood boil with excitement.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a star-like meteor suddenly shot toward him from within the fierce white light in the sky.
"Looks like a divine king has taken advantage of the battle to come down and directly capture me. The Darkstar Divine King was unable to stop him immediately. After all, they have far too many people." Long Chen thought about it and understood the whole story.
Sure enough, an eternal divine king had descended.
"Die."
The androgynous divine king was extremely vicious. He extended a hand and reached towards Long Chen, but in reality, Long Chen was standing at the entrance of the Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts. The Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts suppressed this divine king.
When he approached Long Chen, his speed plummeted, and he was greatly suppressed. As a divine king, he could only unleash very little of his strength. Actually, this was also the reason why Long Chen was bold enough to stand here. If he stood out, he might actually be killed by the divine king.
Boom.
The divine king still broke through the layers of suppression and charged towards Long Chen. The rules in his hand condensed into a white blade and stabbed at Long Chen's brow. Despite being suppressed to such an extent, his attack was still similar to the attack of the Heavenly Demonic Mantis.
Long Chen sneered. Suddenly, the God-slaying Sword appeared in his hand. He held the heavy sword with both hands and leaped up to slash. The power of Heavenly Punishment burst out. Sword Qi and rules of judgment charged at the same time. At this critical moment, the sword collided with the blade of the divine king.
Bang.
The divine king was sent flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in a sorry state. The power of Heavenly Punishment exploded in his body, causing him to be riddled with holes. In his body, the divine dragon kept tearing at him.
Although the Battlefield of the Demonic and Divine Beasts firmly suppressed the divine king.
