"Looks like you're going to lose."
Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan put down his longsword, hands clasped behind his back as he observed the changes within the death sword qi vortex. All of his sword qi had been condensed into one. This was an unprecedented level of terror. Once it devoured Long Chen's Nine Deaths Killer Swords, it would immediately attack Long Chen and devour Long Chen.
"It's still early."
Facing his opponent's overwhelming victory, Long Chen was very calm. Just as Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan thought that he was at his wit's end, Long Chen suddenly stopped killing. His bloody appearance and blood-red dragon scales suddenly changed, turning into nothingness. The scales on his body were now a deep blue.
His aura suddenly changed, from bloodthirsty and brutal, to mysterious, free, and even nonexistent. At this time, the time bracelet shrank, turning into a bracelet that spiraled around Long Chen's palm. Finally, the time bracelet began to wrap around his index finger, a total of 18 times, completely wrapping around his index finger.
The rings of time sank deep into the flesh of Long Chen's finger, as if they were imprisoning Long Chen's finger. But in reality, that was not the case.
When 'time' revolved around his index finger, Long Chen's finger had already become different from the rest. It was like a towering mountain with countless lightning snakes swimming around it, shuttling back and forth between Long Chen's finger and 'time'.
The terrifying power of time had already condensed on this finger.
When Long Chen opened his eyes, there was an explosion of light. All the power of time was condensed on his finger, and just as the Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan was about to devour the Nine Deaths Killer Swords, Long Chen stabbed out with his finger.
"Eternal Time Finger."
A bright beam of light, wrapped in white lightning, pierced the deathly sword Qi vortex at a terrifying speed. The speed of this beam of light was indescribable, as this beam of light itself possessed the Laws of Time Acceleration.
This was the brand-new rule of time that Long Chen had spent 5,000 years pondering over and giving birth to. In fact, this rule of time was a condensation of the Time Distortion power of the Time Dragonet, as well as the addition of time acceleration. Compared to the Time Dragonet, the capacity of the time particles of the Eternal Time Calamity Finger was originally ten times larger, but when it was condensed in the finger, the space was reduced by ten times.
Long Chen had thought that Demon Ancestor Nine Yin would be the first person to receive this attack. He hadn't expected that Demon Ancestor Nine Yin wouldn't even be able to withstand the Nine Death Slaughter Sword. So now he was using it against Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan.
Rumble.
In an instant, the entire sword qi vortex exploded.
Countless Sword Qi lost control and flew everywhere.
Long Chen and Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan were both sent flying.
The entire sword qi vortex was destroyed by Long Chen's Eternal Time Calamity Finger. Sword Ancestor First Origin, who had held the upper hand, lost his advantage for a moment. At that moment, the sword qi was in a state of chaos. Neither of them continued to fight. Instead, they stopped and waited for the surrounding sword qi to disappear. Only when the surroundings returned to a state of calm did they regroup.
"It's over. Not bad."
Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan's face was filled with shock and astonishment, and even excitement. This was the most enjoyable battle he had since the doomsday war.
After all, it was a spar. Both of them had used almost all of their skills. At this point, there was no need to continue fighting. Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan was indeed strong, but Long Chen was definitely not weaker than him.
"I didn't expect you to be on par with me. I thought you defeated Demon Ancestor Nine Yin with luck." Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan said.
"That's naturally impossible."
Both of them returned to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. Because of their battle, many people were affected, especially the explosion of the sword qi vortex, which caused the sky to shine brightly. In the end, even the Eternal Steel God Diagram appeared, blocking the aftermath of the battle.
"Today was very enjoyable. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll be leaving first." Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan was in a good mood. After exchanging a few more words with Long Chen, he left.
After this battle, Long Chen had a certain level of understanding of his own strength.
This was also a good thing.
However, he was still not satisfied. He wanted to become stronger, so he prepared to go out and search for the Ancestral Dragon's Legacy with the Dragon Servants.
At this moment, Mo Xiaolang came up and said, "Big Brother, I've thought about it. I want to participate in the Eighth Era's Ranking God Battle."
Previously, when Long Chen and Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan were talking, he was nearby, so he heard it.
Mo Xiaolang said, "Now, it seems like there are no other flames that I can devour to improve. It might be difficult for me to improve in the future, so I want to comprehend more laws and train myself through battles. Therefore, participating in this battle is quite beneficial for me. After all, I'm different from you, Kitten, and Lingxi."
Actually, he was anxious.
Everyone was improving, but he seemed to have no space. All his improvements were useless through his own cultivation. He basically had to rely on devouring.
Actually, Long Chen had considered this for him. However, in the myriad worlds, apart from the Fire Laws' Ancestral Gods, there was really nothing else that could be devoured. Once he devoured those Ancestral Gods, they also had World Sources. It seemed like the Sky Swallowing Race couldn't digest World Sources, so it was useless to Mo Xiaolang.
Therefore, it was true that Mo Xiaolang had encountered a bottleneck when everyone was advancing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, when he heard about the 'Eighth Era's Ancestral God Battle', he wanted to hone himself on rules and battles.
Long Chen seemed to have encountered such a situation before.
He understood Mo Xiaolang's anxiety.
Because he understood, even if it was risky, he wouldn't stop him.
"Alright, but you must be careful. If there are any problems, tell me immediately."
Mo Xiaolang revealed a bright smile and said, "Naturally, no problem. Don't worry."
All along, he had been the strongest in the team apart from Long Chen. Now, Lingxi and the others had gradually surpassed him. Therefore, it was normal for him to be anxious. If it was Long Chen, he would probably be even more anxious.
Next, Mo Xiaolang paid attention to the Ranking God Battle. On a certain day, he set off. After all, there was nothing to worry about. Therefore, he set off alone. Soyeon didn't follow him. Long Chen followed the Dragon Attendants, walking around and searching carefully. With the experience of the Pool of Time, they basically only looked at places with strange Laws.
This way, the myriad worlds seemed huge. Even a random piece of broken star that floated before them might contain clues.
Time passed day by day.
After three months, Long Chen had only searched a small area.
On the fourth level of the Tower of Time, everyone was still at the same level. After all, it wasn't easy to advance further.
Among them, Long Yan and Long Lin were working hard to become the Destruction Ancestral God. As for Long Chen's third child, he was gradually growing over such a long period of time. Although there was still a long way to go before he was born, it was something worth looking forward to.
Mo Xiaolang, on the other hand, rose to fame in the myriad worlds during this period of time.
This was because, after three months, he had already rushed to the top eight of the Ranking God Battle. Moreover, based on the previous battles, he was already one of the candidates for the champion of this Ranking God Battle.
Among the eighth era's Ancestral Gods, the eight strongest had already been born. Each of them possessed great glory.
Next, there would be a series of battles. The top eight would advance to the top four, and then the top three would be decided.
In the previous battles, Mo Xiaolang had been fighting alone. When it came to the top three battles, of course, Long Chen had to stop what he was doing and go to the battlefield to support Mo Xiaolang. After all, his opponents weren't as weak as he had imagined. No matter what, they were the eight strongest existences among the eighth era's Ancestral Gods.
The location of the Ultimate Battle of the eighth era was chosen to be somewhere in the Southern Starfield. It was surrounded by barren land. There were no worlds at all. However, as this was a crucial battle, many Ancestral Gods had come to watch the battle. Among them were many Ancestral Gods from the sixth era and even the fifth era.
Although this was the final battle between the eighth epoch's Elder Gods, there were quite a few seventh epoch's Elder Gods who had come as well. These people were all here to hear news about the seventh epoch's Ranking God Tournament. The Ancestor God Alliance had not announced it yet, but most likely, it would be announced once the tournament was over.
In fact, the ranking battle of the eighth era's Ancestral Gods was even more intense than that of the ninth era's Ancestral Gods. After all, the participants were stronger, and the spectators wouldn't look down on them as much. Moreover, the Ancestral Gods were increasingly looking forward to the future ranking battles. Many Ancestral Gods from the seventh and sixth era couldn't wait to participate in these hot-blooded battles.
However, the person in charge of this battle was someone that Long Chen didn't like very much.
He was the only Ancestral God from the fourth era present, the Ancestral God of the "All Things Belong to the Divine Realm", Divine Ancestor Kṣitigarbha.
He was a young bald man dressed in a white robe and had a refreshing smile on his face.
He sat in the most distinguished position, surrounded by several Ancestral Gods from the fifth era who maintained order. Among them was the Ancestral God of the fifth era, Ancestral God Chiyou, who had a relationship with Long Chen.
Of course, they weren't needed to maintain order. They were here on behalf of the Ancestral Gods Alliance. With them in control of the overall situation, there wouldn't be any chaos in this ultimate battle.
The ones who really maintained order were the Ancestral Gods from the sixth era who ran errands. Among them, Sword Ancestor Yi Yuan was also sent by the Ancestral Gods Alliance to maintain order.
