Di Jun was near the heart, guarding it at all times. Perhaps he had expected that one day, Long Chen would appear in front of him.
Today was the moment.
When Long Chen raised his head with Lingxi in his arms, who was absorbing the endless Pangu energy, he saw Di Jun hovering in the sky. His left eye was like a blazing sun, and his right eye was empty and hollow, staring at Long Chen with scorching heat and indifference.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
"Chen …" Lingxi called softly. Facing Di Jun, she could not help but feel nervous. But soon, a determined look came over her face as she said, "Don't worry, go and fight. When you come back, I will let Yan 'er and I see you safe and sound. You have to let us see you too. I promise you, and you have to promise me."
Fate had allowed Long Chen to complete this predestined duel at this most critical moment.
"In that case, we must both abide by the agreement."
Long Chen stared into her eyes, and he saw Lingxi's resolute gaze. This was the moment when he trusted Lingxi the most.
Since fate had chosen this moment, it was just the right time for him to vent all his anger and passion.
By now, the Ancient God of Wildness and the Sect Master of the Wildness Sect had probably learned about what had happened here. However, according to the previous agreement, they stayed in the heart and did not participate in the competition between Long Chen and Di Jun. Even all the experts on Pangu Continent could feel the confrontation in this place.
In fact, the news of the duel between Long Chen and Di Jun had long been spread across all the realms, and now countless people were waiting for the new situation. Today's duel was bound to shake all the realms, and the impact it would have was unprecedented.
The battle between the number one on the Divine Emperor List.
Who would be the strongest Divine Emperor in all the realms?
The suspense was all in this day.
Long Chen decisively handed Lingxi over to Yang You, Yu Hua Divine Emperor, and the others. They were all women and knew more about this than Long Chen. If there was any trouble, the Immortal Godly Phoenix could also help. She happened to be nearby and had rushed over at this time. Because of Zhu Xi, the Immortal Godly Phoenix and Long Chen were on good terms.
"Don't waste time."
Di Jun sneered and waved his hand. Following his move, an enormous column of fire descended from the sky, striking towards Long Chen. In a flash, it seemed to have ignited all of Pan Gu's spirit power, making the sky above the heart of Pan Gu shine brightly.
Di Jun was not a gentleman. His target was not only Long Chen, but also Lingxi.
As long as Lingxi had to stay in this place, she would be his trump card. For the sake of obtaining the Origin Dragon Palace, he was nothing more than a villain.
Long Chen didn't say a word. This time, he left Ling Xi and charged into the clouds under everyone's gazes. He split the pillar of fire in half with a single slash, and the two halves split in two directions, forming a sea of fire in the sky.
Meanwhile, Long Chen was already in front of Di Jun.
"Let's go."
Long Chen gave him a look, then flew into the starry sky. Di Jun could tell from the look in his eyes that Long Chen would not run away this time. He was ready. With that, Di Jun was temporarily relieved. Of course, he would not be despicable enough to think of killing Lingxi first.
"Fine, I'll give you a chance to have a fair fight."
Di Jun smiled faintly and followed Long Chen. Under the gazes of billions of living beings, the two of them rushed up into the starry sky. The vast Pangu Continent gradually shrank in their eyes.
When he turned around, he saw that Ling Xi was looking at him. Her smile and calm demeanor were the most boundless strength in Long Chen's heart, and the little life in her womb was the source of all of Long Chen's fighting spirit. Although he looked ordinary at the moment, the truth was that the blood in his heart had long since been boiling, and his fighting spirit had long since broken through the heavens. This level of fighting spirit was unprecedented.
He could not forget Lingxi's smile and the pulse of the little life. Because of this, as a husband and a father, at this moment, he was so confident, so courageous, and so full of fighting spirit. When they came to the infinitely high starry sky, where the whole Pangu Continent had become small, Long Chen knew that this was the battlefield he wanted. Fighting here would not affect Lingxi.
Of course, those experts on Pangu Continent could also see the situation of their battle.
Ten thousand meters away, Di Jun hovered in midair. On his left was a blazing flame, his golden hair fluttering in the wind, and on his right was ethereal, as if it did not exist. However, he had control over space. This was his world, his battlefield. The power of the Laws had begun to spread before the battle began.
What made Long Chen most afraid was that there was a layer of strange thing on Di Jun's body. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was like an armor that had already fused with him. Long Chen couldn't imagine how hard this thing was and how hard it was to break through it. He could feel that this thing was definitely related to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
"When I was in Pangu's Heart, I felt a fluctuation that made Origin Dragon Palace react. It must be the thing on Di Jun now, and it must be his greatest trump card. Whether I can defeat him this time, it will depend on whether I can break this trump card."
At this time, Long Chen could not think about when he was confident. He could only win and go back alive. This was the only choice he had given himself. As a father and husband, nothing was more important than seeing his daughter and woman.
It was the hot blood flowing in Long Chen's heart, his greatest perseverance and fighting spirit at this moment. It was an immortal power, a spiritual will. Even if he did not close his eyes, all Long Chen could see was Lingxi's smile at him, and the movement of the little life.
Touched.
Touched by life.
Di Jun could not understand Long Chen's current emotions. He did not understand that this was actually the best moment for Long Chen. Everyone desired different things. To Di Jun, the so-called daughter was nothing more than an insignificant thing. It was far less important than the Origin Dragon Palace.
"It's a pity. It seems like you care a lot about your children who are about to be born. However, this is fate. You won't have the chance to see them. It is indeed a sad thing for a child to have his father die in battle when he is just born. However, you don't seem to have a choice."
Di Jun said word by word in an indifferent tone.
Long Chen's gaze was unprecedentedly calm. He said, "The reason why humans, gods, and demons are so noble is because of their emotions. You are an emotionless person, no different from the beasts in the mortal world. You have no right to discuss my matters. Since I am here today, I will not run anymore. You have chased me for dozens of years, and today is the end."
Di Jun sneered, "Yes. However, this is your end and my new starting point. Everything in the Draconic Sacrificial Continent is destined to belong to me. You are indeed heaven-defying, but it's a pity that you were born too late."
"Since that is the case, there is no need to say anything more. Many years of grudges and fated enemies. Today, I, Long Chen, will settle everything with you cleanly."
"Of course, I couldn't ask for more."
After Di Jun finished his last sentence, his gaze had already changed. From a deity, he had turned into a killing maniac. He had chased after Long Chen for far too long, reaching the limit of his endurance time and time again. He had truly waited for too long for today. Therefore, he was excited. Boundless excitement. His excitement and fanaticism were the most insane power he had at this moment.
Roar!
He was almost unable to suppress it. Looking at Long Chen, he let out a beast-like roar. Everyone was looking at them, witnessing this battle, witnessing Di Jun's madness at this moment. Under this madness, Long Chen indeed appeared very insignificant.
However, in Long Chen's eyes, it was as if he had returned to his childhood. Although he didn't have the strength to truss a chicken, his opponent was just a wild wolf. He had something he needed to protect, and he had strong emotions in his heart. These were all weapons that Long Chen wouldn't give up even if he died.
"Your life, everything you have, I, Di Jun, will take it all."
In that instant, right in front of Long Chen, Di Jun suddenly split into two. A golden-haired Di Jun and a silver-haired Di Jun appeared. The golden-haired Di Jun's anger soared to the heavens, like a sun, burning with raging flames. As for the silver-haired Di Jun, he was cold and indifferent, mysterious and illusory, as though he had fused with space itself.
After splitting into two, each clone was incomparably powerful. At this moment, Di Jun's aura towered to the heavens, causing Long Chen to feel a terrifying pressure. Fortunately, he had fought against the Wildlands Sect Leader before, so he had a certain degree of confidence.
In that instant, even the blazing flames of the golden-haired Di Jun didn't seem so terrifying.
In that instant, the battle erupted. Di Jun charged forward, directly attacking. The golden-haired Di Jun was at the front, while the silver-haired Di Jun was at the back. Indistinctly, Long Chen could see that the golden-haired Di Jun was holding a stone in his hand, while the silver-haired Di Jun seemed to be holding a longsword. Although it was an invisible longsword, it was definitely an Eternal-grade fortune divine weapon.
Before Long Chen could take a closer look, the golden-haired Di Jun attacked in a frenzy.
The stone in his hand was the Eternal Opal.
The Eternal Opal that had once suppressed and stabilized the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, Long Chen had no idea that the Dragon Sacrificial Continent had actually been destroyed by Di Jun.
"The Dao of Sun that I cultivate is not weaker than Shen Yi. That sun is not just Shen Yi's territory."
The golden-haired Di Jun's aura was magnificent. For a moment, large areas of the starry sky were burning under his control. At this moment, the Eternal Opal in his hand burst out with an unprecedented super light, piercing through the universe.
Even on Pangu Continent, almost every place was covered by this light.
Rumble.
An explosive sound came from the sky.
