Chapter 6412 Return
Two peerless forces clashed, shaking the world. The earth split apart, and astral winds sent the dragon corpses tumbling through the air.
Long Chen was about to grab them when Zhi Zhi’s voice echoed in his mind. Translucent vines sprouted from the ground, and in an instant, the dragon corpses vanished—pulled into the primal chaos space.
“Zhi Zhi, don’t throw the corpses belonging to the nine heavens into the black soil. Make sure to split them up properly,” ordered Long Chen hastily.
These dragon experts had fought and died for the nine heavens. Long Chen wanted to bring them back to the nine heavens. If they still had descendants, he would return their bodies. If not, he planned to lay them to rest in the Sovereign Domain, where none could blaspheme these heroes.
“Zhizhi...” Zhi Zhi responded softly.
Its power had started to recover, and its intelligence was gradually returning as well. Moreover, no one noticed Zhi Zhi gathering the corpses, because all their attention was on Cang Lu and Ming Cang.
BOOM!
The heavens split apart once more. One half was engulfed in black qi, the other in blazing flames.
Ming Cang and Cang Lu had both unleashed their domains. Between them, darkness and flame collided, neither able to consume the other.
They stood like two gods facing each other. The pressure was so immense that even other experts’ Sovereign flames trembled, as if on the verge of scattering.
“The pressure of a merged Sovereign flame is too great. We can’t withstand it,” muttered one outsider dragon expert bitterly.
This dragon expert was powerful and had managed to exchange three blows with Cang Lu. But now, he was pale as paper, feeling a profound sense of powerlessness. On the path of cultivation, talent and opportunity were important, but the most important thing was the support from a powerful clan or sect.
Ming Cang had the full support of his branch. This dragon burial ground was the fruit of countless years of their preparation, and he only needed to get here at the perfect time to harvest its accumulated power. Without that, he could never have reached such heights on his own.
Still, forcibly borrowing external energy came with its own risks. If Ming Cang could stabilize his realm after this battle without it collapsing, it would be nothing short of a miracle.
Ming Cang roared, “At best, you’re half a step into my realm! So what if you’re a Dark Son?! You’re nothing more than a puppet now! If you think you can challenge me, then keep dreaming!”
The flames around Ming Cang surged, and endless Grand Dao runes converged on him.
“I have merged all my Sovereign flames! Ten thousand laws, heed my command! Karmic luck of the world, support me! No one can stand against me! Perish, you little puppet!”
Ming Cang’s hand seals changed. He fused his true Sovereign flame with the Grand Dao runes to form a colossal sword.
Supreme Sovereign might radiated from the sword—so oppressive that even Long Chen’s soul ached.
Long Chen murmured, “Ming Cang has merged his 999 Sovereign flames, so the next step is to leap past the Divine Emperor realm and become a Sovereign Lord. Indeed, his Sovereign might is as vast as a sea and as solid as steel—already on the level of a Divine Sovereign. The power of true Sovereign flame is truly terrifying...”
The moment Ming Cang’s hand seals changed again, the massive sword cleaved downward, tearing through the void toward the dark domain.
“Vile Dragon God Slayer!”
BOOM!
A gigantic fist smashed into the sword, crushing the latter into countless fragments.
For an instant, time itself seemed to freeze as everyone watched the sword crumble apart—only for it to reassemble before their eyes and unleash a cataclysmic burst of energy.
The astral winds howled as the spectators struggled to remain standing. Within the chaos, a towering giant emerged.
“Heaven-earth law manifestation? Cang Lu can use that?!”
Long Chen was shocked. The giant’s aura was similar to when Huo Linger summoned her forest of ancient trees.
“Cang Lu was once a Divine Sovereign who had touched the threshold of the Heavenly Sovereign realm. It’s not surprising that he knows this,” replied the Earth Cauldron.
Long Chen nodded.
That makes sense. The heaven-earth law manifestation is the hallmark of ancient Divine Sovereigns.
Fortunately, Cang Lu didn’t use it against Long Chen—most likely, because he hadn’t possessed the strength to do so at the time.
BOOM!
The crowd gasped when the towering giant suddenly exploded.
“If Cang Lu were still alive, his heaven-earth manifestation could have lasted much longer. But now that he’s a puppet, he lacks the core energy to sustain it. What you’re seeing is merely a fleeting imitation,” explained the Earth Cauldron calmly.
Seeing the manifestation collapse while his sword remained whole, Ming Cang felt confident. He waved his hand, summoning a flame spear that blazed like a miniature sun.
Ming Cang sneered, “A puppet is ultimately a puppet. Even if it has incredible abilities, so what? Once I suppress it, I will offer it to the Dark Master and perhaps I will get endless treasures from him.”
As a fiery dragon coiled behind Ming Cang, his Sovereign might climbed to new heights. Having gauged his opponent through earlier exchanges, he now unleashed his full power. He was determined to capture Cang Lu in just a few strikes.
After all, Cang Lu’s reputation was too great. Ming Cang had to end the battle quickly to avoid unexpected accidents.
The instant Ming Cang drew his weapon, Cang Lu’s Bloodfiend Halberd reappeared, and the Bloodfiend Wings unfurled behind him, trembling with murderous intent.
BOOM!
Their divine weapons collided once more.
To everyone’s shock, Ming Cang staggered back, grunting as a mouthful of blood burst from his lips.
“How...?!” Ming Cang’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had summoned his manifestation, and his power had reached new heights... So why was he losing?
What Ming Cang didn’t know was that Cang Lu’s Bloodfiend Halberd and Bloodfiend Wings were a matched set, a pair born of the same origin. Only when used together could they unleash their true might.
It was with this set that Cang Lu had once swept across the primal chaos era, cutting down countless enemies and earning the Dark Master’s personal favor.
Suddenly, Cang Lu’s figure vanished.
Ming Cang’s expression changed drastically. He could neither sense Cang Lu’s energy nor his presence in the surroundings.
“Vile Dragon Domain!” Ming Cang roared, summoning a blood-colored light atop his Sovereign flame.
His domain’s power multiplied, and only then did he barely catch sight of a blurry silhouette—already beside him. The Bloodfiend Halberd cleaved down toward his head.
Ming Cang instinctively raised his spear to block, but the moment the weapons met—
CRACK!
His spear split clean in two.
The Bloodfiend Halberd continued onward to strike Ming Cang’s chest.
“Gah!”
Blood sprayed into the air as his chest caved in. He was nearly cut into two by the strike. Panic filled his eyes as he struggled to form hand seals.
But before he could finish, a hand covered in violet scales grabbed his neck.
“It’s about time for you to return what you stole!” Long Chen’s icy voice echoed through the air.
