The Epoch Skyfiend was a huge problem.
This problem extinguished Long Chen's enthusiasm for the Ghost-Blood Curse.
The most difficult thing was that he didn't know anything about the Epoch Skyfiend.
He already knew that he was a demon emperor.
After being freed from the demon star, he was extremely weak. He was even defeated by Long Chen and swallowed into the Death Reign by Long Chen.
He had no idea what happened to him in the Death Reign and why he was like this.
"Is it possible that he intentionally entered the Death World back then?"
Long Chen suddenly thought of this and felt his hair stand on end.
When he saw the Epoch Skyfiend's current situation, he felt that it was very possible. This monster definitely knew many things that Long Chen didn't know.
He still remembered what this guy had said on the Epoch Divine Warship.
Back then, in Long Chen's heart, the Epoch Skyfiend was synonymous with terror.
Even now, it was like a nightmare.
"If he entered the Death Reign on purpose, then he will undoubtedly be even more difficult to deal with. Perhaps he has already undergone a huge transformation in the Death Reign. Moreover, the fact that he could appear before me so easily means that he has a certain level of control over this place. He even knows my current strength, but he is still not worried at all."
It was very likely that when his true body arrived, it would be an unprecedented challenge for Long Chen.
But even so, Long Chen was not willing to go out and challenge Di Jun.
"So be it. If it really doesn't work, I'll just go out. Perhaps I can escape. However, I have to try to obtain the Ghost-Blood Curse before the Epoch Skyfiend arrives. That way, I have a much greater chance of dealing with him. After all, the Ghost-Blood Curse can kill the other party if I injure him."
After pondering for a while, Long Chen made up his mind.
At least he wouldn't have to worry about being afraid.
"I have to figure out the secret of the Death Reign."
Temporarily putting aside the matter of the Epoch Skyfiend, Long Chen continued on his way.
In his God Nation, everyone was also working in an orderly manner.
All of them were fighting to build a new perfect world.
...
Ten days passed.
"Until now, there is still no trace of the Ghost-Blood Curse."
Long Chen met a few more Deity Emperors along the way. At the same time, he also encountered some fights between the three major Celestial Palaces and others. The three major Celestial Palaces were very united. They had the advantage in numbers and were decisive in their attacks. Even though most of them were Primordial Deity Emperors, they still had the upper hand. After a few battles, other than the three major Celestial Palaces, there were only a few ultimate Deity Emperors left.
Moreover, most of them were alone.
Long Chen was just one of the people being chased.
Of course, most people were still carefully searching for the Ghost-Blood Curse.
Long Chen sped up. After all, if Ji Yuan's Skyfiend came, he wouldn't have much time left.
He darted around, searching.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had entered a strange zone.
He stopped in his tracks.
At first, he thought that this was a strange place in the Death World. But soon, he felt that this was man-made. He must have walked into a very well-hidden array diagram, and this array diagram actually had God Power flowing around it.
"Someone is ambushing me."
Long Chen instantly realized it.
But it seemed that it was too late to escape. Just as he realized it, the ground beneath his feet suddenly lit up. Just below his feet, an incomparably huge Eight Trigrams array diagram with a diameter of at least tens of thousands of meters appeared. God Power surged. If he was right, this should be a Destinable Divine Weapon.
Of course, it was a Primordial Chaos Grade Destinable Divine Weapon.
After all, experts with Eternal Grade Destinable Divine Weapons couldn't enter.
On this Eight Trigrams array diagram, eight directions rotated and changed constantly. It spat out eight majestic forces, locking Long Chen firmly on this Eight Trigrams array diagram. He couldn't move at all. To be able to do this, only an ultimate Deity Emperor could do it.
The eight directions were like eight worlds that pressed down on Long Chen. Among them, there was Heaven, Earth, Endless Mountains, Endless Oceans, Flame, Lightning, and Storm. Below his feet was an endless swamp. Long Chen was deeply trapped in these eight worlds. Up, down, left, and right, he was forcefully restrained.
However, this Eight Trigrams array diagram's strongest point was its concealment ability.
After all, even if Long Chen came here, he still couldn't discover it.
"Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord."
Seeing this Eight Trigrams array diagram, Long Chen recalled what Divine Emperor Yu Hua had told him. There was an ultimate Deity Emperor from the Jade Pure Heavenly Palace. The reason why he introduced this person to Long Chen was that this Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord was a figure on the Divine Emperor List. He was ranked 93rd on the Divine Emperor List. Compared to Great Emperor Yuehua, he was slightly behind.
However, he was undoubtedly much stronger than Daoist Fengqing.
Defeating Daoist Fengqing was already Long Chen's limit. Now, he was trapped by his Destinable Divine Weapon, Eight Trigrams Array Diagram.
Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord had three extremely famous Destinable Divine Weapons. They were extremely powerful. When used together, they were infinitely close to an Eternal Grade Destinable Divine Weapon. They were Eight Trigrams Array Diagram, Eight Trigrams Sword, and Eight Trigrams Saber.
"Show yourself."
Long Chen calmed down. It was obvious that his opponent was coming for him.
Indeed, there were people rushing up from the depths of the sea. After passing through the Eight Trigrams Array Diagram, three people appeared in front of Long Chen. It wasn't the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord himself.
The one in the middle was dressed in a snow-white Eight Trigrams Daoist robe. His silver hair was neatly combed. He was handsome and elegant. His eyes were cold and gloomy. He radiated eight kinds of divine power. He was the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord, ranked 93rd on the Divine Emperor List.
In terms of aura, he completely surpassed Daoist Fengqing. This made Long Chen understand that this enemy had already surpassed his limits.
Not to mention that there were two helpers around him.
Moreover, these two helpers were ultimate Deity Emperors.
The one on the left had a much different temperament from the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord. She was an old woman in a blood-red robe. She was thin and stooped. Most of her blood-red hair had fallen off. Many of her withered teeth had fallen off. However, there were still four teeth that were as sharp as beasts. Her eyes, however, were filled with blood-red light.
This person was obviously not from the Jade Pure Heavenly Palace.
The Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord was from the Jade Pure Heavenly Palace.
And this old woman was probably from the Jade Pure Heavenly Palace. This time, she was under the command of the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord to help him find the Ghost-Blood Curse. Otherwise, she would have been defeated and eliminated by the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord.
The one on the right was relatively ordinary, but he was also an ultimate Deity Emperor. He should be from the Demon Clan. However, judging from his attire, he was also from the Jade Pure Heavenly Palace. He was probably a Deity Emperor from the Jade Pure Heavenly Palace who had a close relationship with the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord. Like the old woman in the blood-red robe, he was probably no weaker than Daoist Fengqing and Evil God Fire Cloud.
"Long Chen, I've finally caught you."
The Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord revealed a cold smile.
"It was just a sneak attack. What's there to be proud of?" Long Chen replied calmly.
Next to him, the old woman in the blood-red robe said in a sharp voice, "You're still so stubborn even when you're at death's door. You humiliated the Heavenly Lord's disciple and even ran amok in the Death Reign. Where is the Heavenly Lord's face?"
Speaking up to this point, she looked at the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord with a burning gaze and said, "Heavenly Lord, leave this guy to me. After drinking his blood, my strength will improve again. When that happens, I'll be able to help you obtain the Ghost-Blood Curse."
The Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord did not like her. From his expression, if it were not for the Ghost-Blood Curse, he would not have come into contact with this old woman. He said, "Up to you. However, I have to say a few words to this Long Chen."
It seemed that they thought that the Eight Trigrams Diagram had completely locked Long Chen down.
"Drink my blood."
This was the first time Long Chen had heard someone say that to him. Because normally, he was the one refining others.
At this time, the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord said, "My disciple said that you humiliated them, lied to them, slapped them, and eliminated them. There's nothing you wouldn't do. Is that right?"
Only then did Long Chen know that one of the two goddess emperors was from the Jade Pure Heavenly Palace. She was the disciple of the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord.
Long Chen laughed. "You know your disciple's temperament better than I do. There's no need to verify it with me."
The Eight-trigrams Heavenly Lord smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll take it that they're telling the truth. Since you dared to humiliate the people of the Three Great Heavenly Palaces, even if I kill you in the Battle of the Death World, it's reasonable. No one will look into it.
As it turned out, he wanted to kill Long Chen, but he cared about his reputation.
After all, he could have eliminated Long Chen, but he still wanted to kill him. It was a bit too much.
The Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord pointed to the old woman beside him. "You might not know this one. She's called the Bloodthirsty Lightning Mother, an ultimate God Emperor of my Jade Pure Heaven. Together with the Fire Cloud Evil God of the Grand Pure Heaven, they're known as the 'Evil God Ghost Mother'. She'll end your life. The process might be a bit painful, but consider it your punishment. Our three heavenly palaces are not a place that just anyone can offend."
At this point, he nodded at the Bloodthirsty Lightning Mother.
"Yu Wu, let's wait on the side."
The Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord said to the other God Emperor, and the two of them stepped back. They probably didn't want to see this bloody scene. But in fact, to prevent Long Chen from escaping, the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord was still doing his best to control the Eight Trigrams Diagram, so that Long Chen couldn't move or crush the Death Reign Blood Bead.
After hearing her grievances from his disciple, the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Lord lost face, so he looked for Long Chen.
Finally, he found Long Chen. Then, he laid a trap and waited for Long Chen to take the bait.
"How ruthless."
Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the Bloodthirsty Lightning Mother had been waiting for this moment. Her ugly mouth cracked open, and she couldn't stop laughing. At this moment, blood-colored lightning coiled around her body as she approached Long Chen.
"My little sweetheart, don't move. Let me slowly enjoy this feast of yours. Don't be afraid. It won't be painful at all. You'll feel like you're with your lover."
