Chapter 6277 - Battle of the Remnant Soul

The Star Sea emerged, obscuring the sky, followed by the opening of one star gate after another. "Boom..." Each time a star gate opened, Long Chen's aura surged dramatically, causing heaven and earth to tremble and the universe's colors to change. A vast divine power radiated out, and at that moment, Long Chen was like a war god beneath the starry sky, overlooking the eternal celestial dome. Although Lei Yuner and the others knew Long Chen was incredibly powerful, they never imagined he could reach such heights. Before Long Chen, the three hundred Emperor Flame experts they regarded as terrifying opponents were now like ants, with a dimensional gap between them. "It's useless, this barrier is from my Demon Clan..." the giant demon sneered. "Vast Stars - Cross of Annihilation!" With a shout like thunder, Long Chen interrupted the giant demon's mocking. "Boom" Long Chen struck the barrier with his palm, causing the six gates to tremble in unison, resonating with the heavens and earth. On Long Chen's palm, a divine radiance brighter than the sun erupted, with a cross imprinting fiercely on the barrier. "Boom..." The divine sound roared, shaking the entire barrier violently. Lei Yuner retreated far away. Long Chen's power, highly concentrated, didn't leak much, but she still felt as if her body and soul were being crushed. "Is this the power of the strongest human of this age?" A strong figure from the Thunder Falcon Clan trembled in voice, eyes filled with terror. Such power was truly frightening. He was also a Hundred Flames God Seed, confident before entering the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, but as he was hunted down, his confidence dwindled. Yet now, what little confidence he had left was nearly crushed by Long Chen's palm. The gap was too vast, boundless, and that kind of gap led to despair. However, this was normal, after all, they weren't the only ones despairing. Previously, during Long Chen's battle with Long Biluo, even those with five hundred Emperor Flames felt "no future", devoid of any hope. Amidst the rumbling divine sound, the massive barrier was pierced by Long Chen's palm, with endless rune fragments dancing in the void, scattering across the sky. "Even if the barrier is imbued with your will, what does it matter? In front of me, your will is insignificant!" Long Chen, standing in the void, coldly looked at the giant demon, his voice like raging thunder, echoing across the heavens. Long Chen's will was steadfast as a rock. Though he once faced heart demons, causing him pain for a time, his confidence never wavered. Anyone who tried to shake Long Chen's confidence through willpower had never succeeded. After all, Long Chen had endured countless heavenly tribulations. No matter how strong that person was as a God Emperor, could his will surpass the heavenly dao? Long Chen had never yielded to the laws of heaven and earth, let alone him. "Buzz..." As Long Chen broke the barrier, suddenly the giant who was to perish with the demon began to tremble, dust falling from his body, with star patterns emerging on his massive form. "Indeed, a Nine Star Successor!" Seeing the star patterns and feeling the stellar power on him, Long Chen couldn't help but feel his heart race. A Nine Star Successor, a deity-level Nine Star Successor, he must know countless secrets about the Nine Star lineage. "Damn..." The giant demon roared in anger, his body trembling, black energy enveloping him like giant pythons coiling around the Nine Star Successor's body. "Boom..." More and more star patterns on the celestial giant's body slowly lit up, a vast power fighting against the black serpents. "Damn it, I've endured countless ages, I absolutely won't fail now," the giant demon roared, suddenly a black chain shot out from his body, coiling around the fierce bird beside him. "Buzz" The corpse of the fierce bird trembled slightly, releasing endless black energy, pouring madly into the giant demon's body. The moment the fierce bird released black energy, Long Chen instantly understood. This fierce bird was his contracted beast, even in death, as long as its essence wasn't extinguished, the contracted beast's power remained under his control. "How can you, a half-dead guy, be so hard to deal with? Today, I'll forfeit my contracted beast but I must devour you," the giant demon roared. Endless black energy enveloped him, his aura growing more terrifying and powerful. Lei Yuner and the others in the distance were horrified to find themselves unable to move, their bodies and souls both bound by the terrifying Emperor's might. "It's just a remnant soul, how could it have such terrifying power?" Lei Yuner gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Boom..." Endless black energy tightly bound the corpse of the Nine Star lineage strongman, rendering him immobile, the black energy constantly contracting, seemingly sucking his power. "I must stop him!" Long Chen stepped forward, starlight swirling around him, a cross appearing in his open hand. "Get out!" The giant demon roared, suddenly a black chain beside him, like a god's long whip, swept through the air, striking towards Long Chen. "Boom" Long Chen's right hand unmoved, his left hand's starlight quivering, a stellar orb appeared, smashing against the long whip with a loud explosion, shattering it. Yet Long Chen also grunted, being knocked back far, the divine radiance of the cross in his right hand nearly dispersed. "Just a remnant soul, how can it be so strong?" Long Chen's heart roared with anger, what level of existence is a God Emperor? "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." At this moment, black chains, like sharp swords, shot towards Long Chen. Long Chen stepped into the void, starlight radiating, his body turning into countless afterimages, dodging chain after chain as he charged forward. But the black chain attacks were too dense, Long Chen couldn't advance quickly while dodging. And facing those chains, Long Chen dared not clash with them, otherwise the powerful move condensed in his right hand would be dissolved. If this move was dissolved, the giant demon strongman would definitely not give him a second chance, he must strike successfully. "Boom..." Long Chen approached the giant demon's corpse several times, only to be forced back, he had no chance to strike. "Buzz..." Watching the giant demon madly devour the power of the Nine Star lineage strongman, Long Chen grew anxious, his mind racing, constantly calculating how to effectively hit it. Though the giant demon was dead, his corpse was his foundation. As long as his corpse was destroyed, the vessel damaged, his soul would suffer a heavy blow. The density of his attacks showed that the corpse was his fatal weakness, he would never allow Long Chen to approach. "Kid, your strength is impressive, hehe, once I devour his soul, I'll take over your body, none of you will escape," the giant demon strongman sneered, seemingly confident of victory. "Buzz" At this moment, a sudden change occurred, another fierce bird on the ground moved, gathering countless lightning like the sun. Its corpse began to rapidly decay, divine patterns on its divine feathers and bones transforming into lightning, converging into a sphere. "Buzz" The sphere suddenly detached from the corpse, rushing towards Lei Yuner in the distance. Lei Yuner was terrified, instinctively wanting to dodge, but she couldn't move, instantly engulfed by the thunder sphere. "Boom..." Following that, a terrifying aura surged, Lei Yuner's entire aura transformed. "Damn extraterrestrial demon, I will not allow you to desecrate my master!" Lei Yuner's voice turned savage and bloodthirsty, even her soul aura changed. Her figure flickered, passing through the chains, instantly reaching the giant demon's corpse, a thunder spear appearing in her hand, thrusting fiercely.
