As the pillar and the decision-maker, Long Chen had to shoulder more responsibilities at this time.
When Long Chen arrived, Kitten, Mo Xiaolang, and Soyeon had all transformed into giant beasts and barely managed to save Patriarch Penglai. Kitten used Chaotic Reincarnation to send Patriarch Penglai millions of miles away to recover on his own. If he recovered, he would naturally return and rejoin the battle.
This was the way to protect Patriarch Penglai.
As soon as Patriarch Penglai left, they were exposed to the three Ancestor Gods.
It was not easy for the three Ancestor Gods to truly recover. During this period of time, they were confident that they could crush the remaining people, including Long Chen and Ancestor God Ling Su.
Now that they had the chance, they naturally wanted to kill them all at once. Otherwise, when Patriarch Penglai recovered, all their plans today would be for naught.
Without Patriarch Penglai, they still had the upper hand.
"Avenge the billions of lives of Penglai Island," Patriarch Penglai said to Long Chen through gritted teeth before he left.
There was a deep sadness in his words.
He felt that he had let down Penglai Island and was not worthy of being its creator.
Long Chen had almost the same feeling and hatred. He was burning with rage, especially at the time when Dragon Qilin was born.
At this moment, the five of them were facing the three Ancestor Gods.
Patriarch Wuji was cold, emotionless, and expressionless.
Heavenly Demon Snake Ancestor was sinister, disdainful, and sneered.
Unending Stone Ancestor was ruthless, and he was particularly pleased with himself because he had taken revenge on Long Chen.
"Even now, can you still speak to me with the tone of a ruler?" Unending Stone Ancestor said through gritted teeth.
If they were allowed to escape this time, Penglai Island would not be the only world destroyed in the future. Long Chen naturally hoped that everything would end today. That was exactly what his opponents thought, so the clash had been fierce from the very beginning.
"I'll deal with her."
Heavenly Demon Snake Ancestor's long and narrow eyes instantly fixed on Ancestor God Ling Su.
"Go, and don't lose," Long Chen said to Ancestor God Ling Su.
"I won't."
Ancestor God Ling Su was very angry. She had never been this angry before. In fact, she was in danger this time. If these three had decided to attack the Spirit Essence Star Sea, then the Spirit Essence Star Sea might have been destroyed, and she might have died as well.
Today, a debt of blood must be paid with blood.
"Humph."
Ancestor God Ling Su and the Sky Demon Snake Ancestor moved to another location simultaneously. The two World Origins began to stir, as though they were about to engage in battle.
None of them were equal.
"Big Brother … let Kitten stay with you. The two of us can hold on," Mo Xiaolang said to himself.
He understood Long Chen very well. In a situation like this, with the four of them facing off against two terrifying Elder Gods, Long Chen's strategy would definitely be to deal with one Elder God while the three of them dealt with the other.
This was Long Chen's personality, which was why Mo Xiaolang had advised him.
"No, the two of you are too dangerous."
"If you fight alone, you'll be in even more danger." Kitten joined the conversation as well.
"It's better for me to be in danger alone than for two. Listen to me and cut the crap."
Mo Xiaolang was in a bit of a pickle. "Big Brother, your child with Xuanji is about to be born. They're definitely waiting for you to return. You can't take too many risks …"
At this point, Long Chen understood this as well. But … he was different from the three of them. He had a better chance of survival.
"Enough talk. If there's a chance of defeating the Endless Stonefather, don't hold back. I can wait for you to reinforce me."
Since Long Chen had already made up his mind, and he had already made up his mind, there was no way he could change his mind. Mo Xiaolang and the others exchanged a glance. Kitten said, "If that's the case, we'll first torture this big guy to death, then we'll come help you."
If they couldn't change Long Chen's mind, then they would have to defeat the enemy first before coming to help. They knew what they had to do, and all they had to do was control the enemy as quickly as possible.
But this was actually quite difficult.
But of course, it would be easier than Long Chen facing the Boundless Patriarch by himself.
"Foolish stone. If you have the guts, come at me with Lord Cat."
Mo Xiaolang and the others moved to provoke the Endless Stonefather. The three Elder Gods were rather surprised to see the enemy's battle formation.
"Go," the Boundless Patriarch said calmly.
"Fine. Then I'll take advantage of you. Three of you? That'll be fun to kill!"
The Endless Stonefather let out a furious roar, then moved to the left and began to howl.
The only ones left at Penglai Island were Long Chen and the Boundless Patriarch.
This was going to be an ultimate battle, one that had been built upon their hatred. In the blink of an eye, the two women, Elder God Ling Su and the Heavenly Demon Serpent Ancestor, were fighting with their lives on the line. On the other side, for the sake of helping Long Chen as quickly as possible, the three of them worked together to surround the Endless Stonefather. Alas, they were a bit too stubborn. If the Endless Stonefather didn't have the World Essence, they might have been able to deal with him. But now, they were in just as much danger as Long Chen.
"Boss, I know this guy. His World Essence is a jade sword named 'Boundless'. It's pretty powerful. You need to be careful."
Boundless.
This was the first World Essence that Long Chen had ever heard of.
Not even Elder God Ling Su and the others knew what their own World Essence was called.
Thanks to Kitten's warning, Long Chen had to pay more attention to his opponents. He hadn't talked to the Boundless Patriarch yet. The Boundless Patriarch wasn't in a hurry to fight. Instead, he held the Boundless Sword in his hand and looked at Long Chen coldly, as if nothing could interest him. "Senior, can you tell me what you want?"
Innumerable Stone Patriarch and Heavenly Serpent Patriarch were both freaks who could not be reasoned with. However, he knew that ordinary Elder Gods should be like Patriarch Penglai. What did this Patriarch Wuji want?
"Freedom," the Boundless Patriarch said.
As long as he wasn't a freak.
"Aren't you very free? No one's restricting your freedom."
Long Chen didn't understand.
Although he had to get even with the Boundless Patriarch for destroying Penglai Island, it would be best if he could tie him down and give Patriarch Penglai more time to recover.
The Boundless Patriarch shook his head. "What I want is absolute freedom. Absolute freedom lies in the fact that no one in the world is stronger than me, and no one I want to be. That's why I want to get rid of everyone who's on par with me. That way, I can sleep without worries."
Sure enough, he was a freak.
"What about the Endless Stonefather and the other two?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask after hearing the Boundless Patriarch's words.
The Boundless Patriarch didn't say anything else. The jade sword in his hand moved. He was about to attack.
"Senior, there's no need for you to do this. No one will restrict you. Many things have happened, and many mysteries remain. Even if you do as you say, even if you're the only expert here in the future, what if more people stronger than you appear in the future? That's why there's no point in you attacking."
"Who are you? An Elder God from another world, right?" the Boundless Patriarch replied coldly.
"That's right."
"Then, I'll destroy you first. We'll talk about it when they actually appear."
The Boundless Patriarch's attitude was very clear. When he said this, he basically didn't want Long Chen to say anything else. He just attacked. The jade sword was like a little life, completely obeying his commands. It moved according to his hand gestures.
"You're a good seedling. Let's see if you can withstand three of my attacks. If you can, I can promise you that I won't cause trouble for you or anyone else. I'll live in seclusion in the Boundless Starry Sea."
He didn't expect that he would propose such an attractive condition.
"What if I can't?"
The Boundless Patriarch smiled. "Then you'll lose your life. Life is the greatest price to pay."
Very good.
He only needed to withstand three attacks. It was not like the others' battles, which had reached the most desperate stage. Long Chen was constantly concerned about Mo Xiaolang. The three of them were fighting with all their might, wanting to destroy the Endless Stonefather. However, the Endless Stonefather had the world's origin, so he still had to suppress the three of them. If this went on, they would be in great danger.
He had to end the battle quickly and force the Boundless Patriarch away.
Long Chen was going to go all out.
"Come."
He was already prepared.
Three attacks. Three attacks it was.
Even if they were all executed with the irresistible world's origin.
"Very good."
World's origin, Boundless Patriarch.
A white jade sword danced in the old man's hand, like a sentient life.
"You're very courageous."
The other battlefields continued to rumble, but this place was as quiet as a lake. However, because of the Boundless Patriarch's attack, an even more terrifying storm was stirring.
The battle was instantly ignited.
Although it was only three moves, it was very likely that they would be the three strongest rules of the other party, so it would not be easy. When the old man made his move, Long Chen used all his strength and the support of countless living beings in his mind to strike first.
"Dragon's Inverse Blood."
The Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon's rules triggered the Boundless Patriarch's blood, turning him into an Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon. Billions of dragons attacked from within the Boundless Patriarch's body. Even though the Boundless Patriarch's body was as vast as the stars, it was still occupied by Long Chen.
But what surprised Long Chen was that even though the Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon was wreaking havoc in his body, it didn't seem to affect the Boundless Patriarch as much as he had imagined. He frowned and waved his hands, summoning the world's origin. The Boundless Patriarch instantly found out about Long Chen's crisis.
"Blizzard."
In an instant, the rules swept out.
In Long Chen's eyes, the entire starry sky had turned into a world of wind and snow. In this world of ice and snow, the wind howled and snow swirled. Countless snowflakes fluttered between heaven and earth, but upon closer inspection, each snowflake was formed from an endless number of jade swords.
In that instant, countless snowflakes flew in the storm, and their only target was Long Chen.
This rule was similar to Long Chen's Dragon Ball of Destruction. They were both top-notch killing techniques.
Under such circumstances, Long Chen could only strengthen the Dragon's Inverse Blood and use new rules at the same time. He had thought that the Dragon's Inverse Blood would be able to withstand it, and things would be easier from here on out. But it didn't work at all.
The opponent was a true Progenitor after all, just a little weaker.
"Karmic Judgement Light."
