"What's going on? Didn't you use the Great Demonic Seed Technique of Dao once?"
Seeing Long Chen's strength skyrocket, the man who looked exactly like Long Chen immediately revealed a shocked expression.
"You think you understand me, but the secrets you know about me are too little. So, die." Long Chen laughed coldly. His body instantly turned into a phantom and appeared before him.
"Residual Shadow Sword."
With a swoosh, the Star Sword suddenly shook and turned into streaks of broken sword shadows. It was impossible to tell which of them was real. In fact, all of them were real.
The current Long Chen was too strong and too fast for him. So, he could only watch as Long Chen's Residual Shadow Sword pierced his throat and ended his life.
After killing this mysterious opponent, Long Chen realized that the scenery around him was slowly disappearing.
"I finally understand what's going on with the Demon Emperor Sword's test. The successor of the Demon Emperor Sword is actually someone like me, who has trump cards that surpass the level of the Demon Emperor Sword. I have many things that surpass the level of the Demon Emperor Sword that the Demon Emperor Sword can't imitate. However, it's different for others. For example, Murong Yu. The Traceless Shadow Sword and the Great Demonic Seed Technique of Dao that she cultivated were all used by the opponent, and were even stronger than her. So, this stage should be very difficult for Murong Yu."
As Long Chen's mind spun, the scenery around him also spun. Suddenly, he found himself standing in another room. The size of this room was exactly the same as before, but the only difference was that there was a huge altar in front of Long Chen. It was a black altar, and surrounding the altar were four pitch-black iron pillars. The iron pillars were wrapped with thick iron chains, and all the iron chains were wrapped around a sword in the middle of the four pillars.
This was a sword shrouded in black mist. At this moment, it was bursting with a thick, murderous aura. Just by standing there, Long Chen could feel a gust of murderous aura rushing towards him. He opened his eyes and saw that the black sword was flashing with blood-red runes. The runes were twisting and looked like ferocious faces flashing on the sword.
"This is the Demon Emperor Sword." Long Chen's eyes suddenly shone with a fiery light.
The shape of the Demon Emperor Sword was similar to the Star Sword in Long Chen's hand. They were both three feet long, and the blade was narrow and sharp. However, compared to the Star Sword, the Demon Emperor Sword was much more imposing and majestic, and also much more ruthless.
The Star Sword was a dead object, but the Demon Emperor Sword seemed to have come to life. It was like a restless and ruthless beast, bound between the four pillars, and then let out a series of angry roars.
A soul-stirring force swept towards Long Chen. Long Chen hurriedly steadied his mind to prevent himself from being affected by the Demon Emperor Sword.
"The Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon has already made me more and more ruthless. One look and I know that this Demon Emperor Sword is not a kind thing. Looks like I need to put in more effort to cultivate my mind in the future."
Long Chen thought to himself.
The Demon Emperor Sword was right in front of him, but Long Chen was not in a hurry to retrieve it. This was because he realized that there was a faintly discernible barrier in front of the Demon Emperor Sword. Long Chen did not understand this place, so he did not dare to move recklessly. He had now exceeded everyone's expectations and completed the task at an extremely fast speed.
However, there was another person who came in, and that was Murong Yu.
"This barrier might seem harmless, but if I were to approach it, I wonder what would happen."
Long Chen hesitated for a moment. He took a few steps back, then took out a piece of divine jade and threw it at the barrier in front of the Demon Emperor Sword. With a whoosh, the divine weapon hit the barrier and was instantly turned into dust.
"If I'm not wrong, the power that caused the divine jade to turn into dust should have come from the Demon Emperor Sword. I think this Demon Emperor Sword has already gained sentience, and after countless years of inheritance, it should have its own rules. Perhaps it was left behind by the person who forged it. I still do not have the right to touch the Demon Emperor Sword. I can only wait for Murong Yu to come here successfully. Once I defeat her, I will be able to touch the Demon Emperor Sword."
After thinking it through, Long Chen took a few steps back and stood there obediently, waiting for Murong Xue to pass the first stage. Of course, if she could not pass the first stage, Long Chen could directly obtain the Demon Emperor Sword.
Time passed slowly, but the barrier still had not disappeared. Just as Long Chen was about to try to break the barrier again, a cold, black light suddenly flashed in the room. Then, a slightly pale Murong Yu appeared. At this moment, her clothes were a little disheveled, revealing a large patch of snow-white bosom. Her full breasts were heaving up and down as she breathed rapidly.
It seemed that the battle between them had not been easy.
Seeing that she was only slightly exhausted and not injured, Long Chen was a little surprised. However, he also admired Murong Yu from the bottom of his heart. After all, without Long Chen's many trump cards, it would not have been easy to make it here.
Long Chen was surprised to see Murong Yu, but Murong Yu was even more surprised to see Long Chen. Looking at Long Chen's condition, it was obvious that he had already arrived here. Moreover, his relaxed appearance showed that he had easily defeated his opponent. Compared to her own difficulty, Murong Yu felt that it was very unbelievable.
If the three Great Demon Elders had not explained to her in detail what was inside the Demon Emperor Sword, and if she had not made precise preparations, she would not be standing here today. After all, she did not have the things that Long Chen had.
Now that both of them were standing here, it was obvious that only the one who won could finally get the Demon Emperor Sword. However, Long Chen still had a lot of concerns about Murong Yu's condition.
"Hey, is it convenient for you to tell me what happened during this period? Anyway, there is no one else here, and your masters and uncle-masters can't threaten you." Long Chen asked after a moment of silence.
Murong Yu gritted her teeth with a difficult look on her face. In the end, she forced herself not to look at Long Chen's eyes and said in a cold tone, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm here to fight to the death with you. Let's see who's stronger."
There was a deep indifference in Murong Yu's words. Of course, Long Chen could tell that this indifference was forced out by herself.
"Why have you become like this? Don't tell me that I killed Yang Danfeng because you liked him. That's the nonsense of the people outside. Tell me, did the three Great Demon Elders threaten you with dirty tricks?"
Murong Yu had once given Long Chen a lot of help, which was why Long Chen was so worried about her. If it were someone else, Long Chen could not be bothered to talk nonsense.
This time, Murong Yu did not answer Long Chen. She exploded with the True Qi of the ninth tier of the Heavenly River Tier and said in a cold voice, "The time for nonsense is over. Today, before the Demon Emperor Sword, either you die or I live. The winner will have the Demon Emperor Sword and rule the world, and the loser will die without a corpse."
When Murong Yu spoke, her True Qi that belonged to the ninth tier of the Heavenly River Tier exploded wildly. This pressure gave Long Chen the feeling that it was almost comparable to what Lin Zichen had felt in the past. However, the current Long Chen was not the Long Chen of the past. Even if he did not use the secret blood sacrifice technique, he could still have strength that exceeded that of the past.
"Since that's the case, after I subdue you, I'll see if I can pry your words out."
Long Chen saw that this was not the way to go. He believed that only by truly defeating Murong Yu would he have the chance to find out what exactly had happened.
"To be honest, I was very surprised that you could pass the first stage before me and obtain the approval of the Demon Emperor Sword. However, Long Chen, you must have heard the news that I have reached the ninth tier of the Heavenly River Tier, so just accept your fate …"
The more Murong Yu spoke, the softer her voice became, and in the end, it was almost inaudible. However, Long Chen still keenly grasped the conflict in her heart.
"She must have been threatened by the three great demon elders, and that's why she has no choice but to go against me." Long Chen frowned.
At this moment, Murong Yu had already closed in on Long Chen. At this time, within her body, the 18 internal galaxies had already completely formed, forming a complete circular void. The power she possessed was much stronger than that of the eighth tier of the Heavenly River Tier. Even before she got close, the whistling wind already made Long Chen's scalp tingle. He knew that he needed to be more cautious.
Traceless Specter.
Murong Yu obviously wanted to get rid of Long Chen as soon as possible, so from the start of the battle, she used a Heaven Tier Battle Technique. In an instant, Murong Yu turned into a series of phantoms in front of Long Chen's eyes. Countless attacks surged towards Long Chen, and it was difficult for Long Chen to determine which one was the real Murong Yu.
"Traceless Specter, I wonder how effective the Spirit Devouring Demonic Eye is against it."
Long Chen was very calm. He secretly used the Spirit Devouring Demonic Eye, and instantly, everything in his field of vision disappeared. The only thing left was the soul, Murong Yu's soul.
Frankly speaking, the Traceless Specter was actually an effect that was difficult to distinguish through its high-speed movements and the use of some movement techniques. For Long Chen, as long as he used the Spirit Devouring Demonic Eye, he would not be able to see those additional effects caused by the Traceless Specter. He only needed to determine the position of the opponent's soul, and he would be able to determine Murong Yu's position.
"Ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier, so fast."
At this time, the real Murong Yu had already arrived behind Long Chen. Her palms were flying, and a black fog condensed into a palm print in front of her eyes. It was light as a feather, like a willow leaf brushing against the wind, and was aimed at Long Chen's back.
It could be said that the momentum of this move was very small, but within that palm print, there was no doubt that it contained a power that could topple mountains and overturn seas. If Long Chen was hit by it, he would definitely vomit blood and be sent flying.
Unfortunately, Long Chen had long since discovered Murong Yu's position. Her Traceless Specter had already reached the Great Accomplishment Tier, but the Spirit Devouring Demonic Eye was even more mysterious.
