"Shadow."
Taihao was extremely calm in the face of Long Chen's Nine-Death Killing Sword. It was as if he was in a calm lake. Nothing could affect his state of mind.
The black swordfish in his left hand flipped and streaked past him rapidly. He seemed to be writing with a pen in his hand. Soon, a black shadow surrounded him and enveloped him in darkness. Taihao seemed to have disappeared.
It was hard to see the shadow clearly under the brilliant colors of the Endless Battlefield.
At this moment, Long Chen's Nine-Death Killing Sword hit the shadow. Boundless crimson light was produced and shot to the surroundings, forming a sea of crimson Sword Qi.
To be honest, this shadow was like an iron ball, and Long Chen was like a wooden sword. When he slashed at the iron ball, not only was he unable to break it, but his hands were almost crippled by the impact.
The Rule of Hand was actually so strong.
The blood-colored Sword Qi was sent flying because it couldn't hurt Taihao at all when they collided.
That was why there was such a brilliant scene.
The Ancestor God who did not know the situation would think that Long Chen's attack was brilliant. However, Long Chen knew that someone at Taihao's level was much stronger than him in terms of the Origin Energy of the World.
Taihao was, of course, safe and sound. Long Chen quickly withdrew his Massacre Sword and prepared to dodge. After defending against Long Chen's attack, it was obvious that Long Chen would have to withstand Taihao's attack. Long Chen did not hope to defeat Taihao. He only hoped that he would not be injured too badly and lose too badly.
"Light Devil."
As expected, when Long Chen retreated slightly, a hole appeared in the shadow. Taihao held the white swordfish and stabbed it. The Rule of Light Devil burst out instantly and pierced through Long Chen.
Fast, extremely fast.
The speed of a beam of light.
It flashed and disappeared.
That beam of light was like a demon.
"Eternal Time Finger."
Long Chen's nomological law was also unprecedentedly fast. However, this time, he was barely on par with the other party. Furthermore, because the other party had attacked first, Long Chen's Eternal Time Calamity Finger had just pierced out when the light devil charged over.
That was the domineering destructive power of light.
Boom.
"Amazing."
Under Tai Hao's attack, the light devil broke through the newly formed time power and hit Long Chen like a cannonball. For a moment, half of Long Chen's body was destroyed and Long Chen was sent flying. His body was badly mutilated.
If he had been any closer, Long Chen's Ancestor God body would have been completely destroyed, leaving only the World Origin.
"I admit defeat."
Long Chen was straightforward. After experiencing it personally, he deeply understood the gap between him and his opponent, so he admitted defeat in time. Otherwise, Taihao's next attack would definitely cause a more destructive effect. This was only the first battle. Long Chen did not need to risk his life to this extent.
"The right choice."
After hearing Long Chen admit defeat, Taihao acted like a gentleman. He directly put away the World Origin and ended the battle. In fact, it only took an instant for the two to end the battle. Previously, everyone was still exclaiming about the power of Long Chen's Nine Deaths Killing Sword. Now, the outcome was clear. Especially Long Chen, who looked like he had been severely injured.
On the other side, Taihao had already left the battlefield. There would be another battle on this battlefield today.
Leaving Long Chen in a severely injured state.
It was over.
The moment the Ancestor Gods were stunned, Long Chen had lost. Seeing that the mockery and laughter were about to hit him again, Long Chen didn't want to listen anymore. He directly returned to the fourth floor of the Tower of Time. He knew that there were many people who wanted to see him lose. If he paid attention to them, he would really lose.
They indeed wanted to see Long Chen make a fool of himself. And now, they had seen it.
"What a quick defeat. It's a perfect interpretation of what is called a disgrace."
This sentence caused a lot of laughter in the crowd. This was the last sentence that Long Chen heard before he left.
Long Chen had attracted a lot of attention in this ranking god battle. However, given his performance today, he was very ordinary among the Ancestor Gods of the Sixth Era. It was hard for him to cause any trouble in the future. For a while, there were many wonderful battles. The crowd didn't feel like laughing at him too much. After all, there were many Ancestor Gods of the Sixth Era who attracted people's attention in the first battle today.
There were also many as powerful as Ancestor God Taihao.
Perhaps people would only pay attention to Long Chen after the second battle tomorrow. In fact, those who lost in the first battle had basically bid farewell to the top 20 and top 8.
However, for Long Chen, one day later would be more than 20 years later. Because he was on the fourth floor of the Tower of Time.
"Are you okay today?" Hearing that he had lost, many people were concerned about him, such as Primitive War Ancestor and Ancestor God Pangu.
"Of course I'm okay. I gained something. Don't worry. Although I lost the first battle, I still have a chance. As for Ancestor God Taihao, I will surpass him one day."
Long Chen's recovery speed on the fourth floor of the Tower of Time was much faster than before. For other Elder Gods, a single day might not be enough for them to recover, but this was how the Ranking God Battles were set up. The weaker ones would gradually lose their advantage and could only struggle, while the stronger ones would gradually gain an advantage.
"It's good that you can think like this. This ranking god battle can be treated as a game. After the top three are decided, we can think of a way to snatch the key." Destiny Star Ancestor said.
Long Chen shook his head, "No, since I've joined, I'm not willing to lose."
"Alright, we'll wait for your outstanding performance."
Although they also said so, two months was still too short. Even if Long Chen had the Tower of Time, this time was extremely short. It was hard for him to make a breakthrough. Therefore, Primitive War Ancestor and the others did not have much hope for Long Chen's following battles. After all, they knew about Long Chen's background. They knew that it was already nature-defying for him to make it to this stage.
Of course, Long Chen was not willing to lose.
Losing the first battle didn't scare him.
On the contrary, the soul-stirring feeling of fighting with an expert made him extremely excited. The long-lost crazy battle enthusiasm finally came back.
Lingxi and the others did not disturb Long Chen.
After all, they knew Long Chen the best. Now that the battles had made Long Chen's blood boil, he embarked on this path again, seeking a breakthrough in each battle.
In the following years, Long Chen immersed his attention in the 'Shadow' and 'Light Devil'. That moment of crisis made Long Chen restless.
Those sneers and taunts were also Long Chen's motivation. It was as if he had returned to his youth. Long Chen wanted those who looked down on him to be scared off.
And Mo Xiaolang's freedom …
The pressure of the future of the myriad worlds.
And so on. These were all reasons for Long Chen to advance crazily and reach a state of selflessness.
Rush, rush, rush.
More than 20 years later, Long Chen stopped cultivating and arrived in the myriad worlds. The next day arrived, and the second battle began. However, not many people paid attention to Long Chen.
The most dazzling ones were naturally those who were born at the beginning of an era.
This time, it was normal. Long Chen's opponent was an ancestral god born at the end of an era. His battle strength was about the same as that of Demon Ancestor Nine Yin. Long Chen defeated his opponent in a simple and straightforward manner and won the first battle.
Then, he continued to cultivate silently and returned to the fourth floor of the tower of time.
Some people paid attention to his battle, but defeating such an opponent was really nothing. The ancestral gods estimated that Long Chen's battle strength was equal to the middle stage of the sixth era. If he encountered a middle stage expert, it might be a life-and-death battle. If it was at the beginning of an era, he would definitely be defeated. It would be difficult for him to even enter the top 100.
Subsequently, over 100 years passed in the fourth floor of the tower of time. In the ranking battles, Long Chen won four consecutive battles. However, his opponents were all ancestral gods at the end of an era.
Given this result, Ancestral Gods Alliance actually arranged an easy opponent for him at the beginning. It was just that Chaotic Hole Ancestor Wizard had modified the first round. Perhaps, there were also some modifications in the later rounds.
Of course, if his opponents were all at the end of an epoch, there would be too many traces of manipulation. After cultivating in seclusion for more than a hundred years, Long Chen's sixth opponent was an existence born in the middle of an epoch.
Over the past 100 years, Long Chen made some breakthroughs under extreme pressure. However, he didn't show it yet. Under such high pressure, he found that the effect of 100 years on the fourth floor of the tower of time was equal to that of 1,000 years in the past.
This was what he wanted. Therefore, he understood that it was not a mistake to participate in this ranking battle at all. Instead, it was a good thing for him to speed up his cultivation. After realizing this point, Long Chen actually had a stronger motivation.
On the sixth day, his opponent had a conflict with Long Chen.
Coincidentally, it was Heaven-Punishing War Ancestor.
Of course, this might be the arrangement of Pangu Ancestor. After a few days, they had to arrange a middle stage opponent. Otherwise, it would be too unfair. After all, points battles could be manipulated.
After knowing that his opponent was Long Chen, Heaven-Punishing War Ancestor was ecstatic. He didn't continue the previous battle. He had been dreaming of encountering Long Chen. Today, his wish came true.
They were in the first round of battle on the third battlefield. Therefore, they soon confronted each other on the battlefield. Heaven-Punishing War Ancestor was very domineering with his battle qi soaring into the sky. Among the hundreds of ancestral gods, he was pretty outstanding.
Compared to him, Long Chen was a bit weak.
"Look, after winning a few rounds, Long Chen finally encountered the middle stage of an era."
"Additionally, it's Heaven-Punishing War Ancestor."
"It's time to test his real ability."
In an instant, many people started to pay attention to Long Chen who used to make them laugh.
