Although the battle was grand and full of twists and turns, it didn't really last long.
Especially when Long Chen was reborn and Tian Yi used the Extermination Style to fight again, until Tian Yi was struck by the Extermination Dragon Seal and fell from the sky, smashing a deep pit into the Demon God Buzhou Mountain. From start to finish, only seven minutes had passed.
However, in that short amount of time, it gave all the Godkings an unprecedented shock.
Long Chen, who had previously been crushed by Tian Yi, used the Demon Suppression Pagoda to use the Laws of Massacre to completely reverse the situation and crush Tian Yi.
When Tian Yi fell on Mount Fiendgod Buzhou, the Godkings still didn't know what had happened. They thought that Tian Yi could still get up and continue fighting. His situation seemed much better than Long Chen's heavy injuries.
But after a long time, when Long Chen put away the Divine Sword and Demon Tower, Tian Yi was still lying in the deep crater. His aura was weak and he didn't move at all.
"Is he dead?" Lingxi asked nervously.
Although he had almost taken Long Chen's life and had ignored Long Chen's life, Lingxi still understood that Tian Yi couldn't be killed. If he was really killed, Long Chen would die no matter how heaven-defying he was.
"No, the Exterminating Dragon Seal is a killing move that directly shatters the Primordial Spirit. That's why it has such a great effect. Naturally, it's more powerful than his Setting Sun Move. However, I stopped in the end. Although his Primordial Spirit was injured, I didn't really kill him. However, the Exterminating Dragon Seal is the Exterminating Dragon Seal. It was born to exterminate, so he probably needs some time to recover …"
Right now, the power of death from the Annihilation Dragon Seal was still lingering in his soul. If Long Chen didn't retract the power of death, Tian Yi might even fall into an eternal slumber.
This was also Long Chen's counterattack and revenge.
If it wasn't for Tian Yi's status, his counterattack would have been even more ruthless. The scenes of his previous defeats were deeply ingrained in Long Chen's mind. After all, he was rarely defeated, and even less on the verge of death.
Tian Yi had brought him endless calamities, but he had also transformed him.
"Has Tianyi been defeated …"
"Why aren't you getting up yet …"
"I can see that his aura is weak and his Yuan Spirit has dispersed. He should have been defeated."
Tens of thousands of divine kings stared at this scene in disbelief. They saw Tian Yi fall to the ground and Long Chen look so calm. This clearly showed who won and who lost. At this moment, in their eyes, Long Chen had already become an indescribable monster. They couldn't help but look at Tushan Divine Emperor. The five divine emperors all had serious looks on their faces, and from their eyes, one could see the deep shock.
The Darkstar Divine Emperor stopped Mo Xiaolang and the others from charging over.
That's right.
It wasn't until they saw that Long Chen was safe and sound that they laughed and cried.
"As expected, he will always be the strongest. He knows how important he is."
"So, he has returned."
This was the best answer for Mo Xiaolang and the others.
He had come back from the dead.
The Darkstar Divine Emperor had completely failed to predict a battle like this. To be honest, after Long Chen was pierced by the Setting Sun, he had already despaired. He was just about to announce Tian Yi's victory, but he never expected Long Chen to come back to life in a strange manner at that moment.
However, Tian Yi was not capable of that. After being suppressed by the Annihilation Dragon Seal, he lay on the ground without moving at all. The Sunshot Divine Bow and the Setting Sun Divine Arrow hung around him dimly. The Darkstar Divine Emperor had already given Tian Yi enough time, but Tian Yi still did not climb to his feet.
As a matter of fact, his life force was already growing weaker and weaker.
The Darkstar Divine Emperor understood.
Not everyone could create miracles.
"The battle is over. Long Chen is victorious and has risen to fourth on the Godking Ranking. He has won the Sunshot Divine Bow and the Setting Sun Divine Arrow." The Darkstar Divine Emperor's voice was extremely abrupt, breaking the silence that had lasted for so long.
The reason why he had mentioned the Sunshot Divine Bow and the Setting Sun Divine Arrow was to fight for Long Chen. He knew the value of these two Chaotic Origin fortune god artifacts, but the opponent was the sovereign of the Refined Sun God Realm. Even if they refused to hand them over, or even tried to kill Long Chen, no one would dare to say anything.
"It's over …"
"Tian Yi has actually been defeated."
"Long Chen has won. That's unbelievable. Just how did he do it in the end?"
Only at this moment did countless Godkings break into an uproar. They began discussing excitedly.
Among the crowd, the expressions of the two eternal God race divine kings were particularly ugly. They could imagine that if they had endured Long Chen's attack, they might have suffered the same fate as Tian Yi.
"Since when did Long Chen become so powerful?"
While they were feeling unreconciled, tens of thousands of Divine Kings hurriedly shut their mouths. The five Divine Emperors of the Supreme Refining Sun Divine Realm moved. Their faces were cold as they moved towards Long Chen and Tian Yi. Among the five Divine Emperors, especially Tushan Divine Emperor, when his face turned cold, it was extremely terrifying. Long Chen only needed to exchange a glance with Tushan Divine Emperor and he already felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his head.
He felt the surging pressure, such that he was forced to circulate all of his divine power to resist it. But even with that, he was still drenched in sweat. Even his knees had bent from the pressure.
He had truly experienced the power of an Ultimate Divine Emperor. Just a glance from them, without any laws, and just the divine might alone was enough to render Long Chen immobile.
The Godkings obviously saw this detail.
"Long Chen is done for. Although he defeated Tian Yi, he's offended the sovereign Refined Sun God Realm and the divine king Tushan."
"He's injured Tian Yi so heavily. He definitely won't be able to live for long."
"Those of us with no authority or backing sure are pitiful. We'll be killed in defeat, and no one will care about us. Even if we win, it'll be miserable. We've offended someone, and their seniors will kill us."
Old Pig stood in the crowd and sighed. He had witnessed Long Chen's rise up, but at this moment, all he could do was be powerless.
"The mistake is that he shouldn't have stood out too much. He even said he wanted to challenge the first on the Godking Ranking. He doesn't have a powerful background, yet he's still so high-profile. He's just looking to die. All we can do is cultivate in secret and become stronger."
Many people sympathized with Long Chen's situation, but no one could do anything about it.
"Long Chen."
The Darkstar God Emperor stood before him and shot him a glance. All he could do now was depend on the divine king Tushan's mood.
"It's fine." Long Chen was very calm inside.
At this moment, the divine king Tushan was already using precious Primordial Immortal Essences to save Tian Yi. With his special treatment, everyone believed Tian Yi should be able to wake up.
"Hehe, Long Chen, there's a saying that goes, the evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear. You should have heard of it before, right? I think this is a good opportunity for us. The divine king Tushan possesses a lofty status in the Heaven Region Alliance. We'll apply for a Heaven Region Kill Order from him right now. You've offended him, so he can use us to eliminate you." The two identical divine emperors arrived before Long Chen.
Indeed, the divine king Tushan should not do anything.
But they could.
This was a rare opportunity, and they did indeed have grievances with Long Chen, so it was completely justifiable.
After saying that, the two divine emperors were extremely complacent. They made their way over to the divine king, but the divine king's expression was extremely ugly right now, as no matter what he did, Tian Yi's soul was severely damaged and would be unable to recover. Even if it recovered, it would be instantly destroyed by Long Chen's power of slaughter.
"What kind of power of slaughter is this?"
Even he, the divine king Tushan, could not dispel the power of slaughter.
If this continued, Tian Yi's soul would be heavily damaged sooner or later, and it would be difficult to recover. At that time, he would not be able to explain himself to Shen Yi. After all, he was the one who brought Tian Yi here to train.
"Senior Tushan, let me do it."
Just as the two divine emperors of the eternal god race were preparing to be used as a knife by Tushan, Long Chen spoke before them. Then, under the immense pressure, he came before Tian Yi.
The one who started the trouble should be untied.
Tushan squinted at him and let go of Tian Yi. Long Chen walked up. On Tian Yi's chest, there was a blood-red mark. That was the Extermination Dragon Mark. After Long Chen approached, he placed his palm on the Extermination Dragon Mark and easily retrieved it.
Just like that, Tian Yi recovered much more quickly.
Seeing how his condition was improving, the divine king even withdrew the tremendous pressure from Long Chen. At this moment, the two divine emperors wanted to use this opportunity to speak, but they received a cold glance from the divine king. The bone-chilling gaze made the two divine emperors swallow their words.
"Piss off," the divine king bellowed furiously.
The two divine emperors felt like they had been struck by lightning. Now that they had been utterly humiliated, all they could do was cover their heads and scurry away under the laughter of several tens of thousands of Godkings.
Long Chen and the Darkstar God Emperor stood to one side. Several tens of thousands of Godkings also waited for the noble Tian Yi to recover. Around fifteen minutes later, Tian Yi's soul had recovered quite a lot. He slowly opened his eyes and saw everyone in the surroundings, as well as the completely unscathed Long Chen.
"You're not dead!" Tian Yi growled. His eyes immediately reddened.
"Tian Yi, you've been defeated. You've been unconscious for a very long time."
The divine king was unwilling to embarrass him, so he pressed down on his shoulder and suppressed him, preventing Tian Yi from retaliating against Long Chen.
"I've been defeated …" Tian Yi was stunned. He felt powerless all over. He looked around blankly. Everyone's gazes were telling him the truth. He had indeed been defeated.
Tian Yi remembered. Long Chen's final Seal of Annihilation had almost taken his life. In that moment, he had already lost consciousness. The last thing he saw was Long Chen shattering his Form of Annihilation with the Sword of Time.
In other words, Long Chen had achieved a complete victory.
No matter how impossible it was, it was still reality.
Tian Yi fell silent for a very long time. Only then did he stand up shakily. He looked at Long Chen with his bloodshot eyes and ground his teeth for quite a while. Only then did he say, "So be it. I, Tian Yi, have lost the bet. It's just that after this battle, Long Chen, you will be my nemesis for life. From today onwards, you just have to wait for my challenge until I defeat you. Otherwise, even if you flee to the ends of the world, you won't be able to escape from me."
Long Chen smiled faintly. "But if I make it to third on the Godking Ranking, you won't be able to challenge me anymore. You better hurry up, as I'll be challenging the third on the Godking Ranking in half a month's time."
