Chapter 6258 - Curse

However, it was too late. The 'Transposition' is an extremely rare secret technique, typically only performed between the main body and its avatar, allowing their positions to be swapped in an instant. This is a technique used as a substitute for death; some use their avatar to replace the main body in desperate situations to avoid a fatal strike. However, there is a prerequisite for performing Transposition, which is that the distance between the main body and the avatar cannot be too far, and they must have already condensed a substitution rune between them. Because the conditions are very stringent, very few people use this move. But Long Chen and Huo Ling'er are soul-linked. Recently, Huo Ling'er has been delving deeply into the Unity Art, greatly increasing her power and improving her control over fire. This move is a new technique that Huo Ling'er has just developed, allowing her to instantly swap positions with Long Chen even outside the fire domain.
"Buzz"
Long Chen and Huo Ling'er's bodies trembled slightly, and their positions instantly swapped. At this moment, Kun Wufa had already charged in front of Long Chen, shocked and angry, but it was too late to stop. He roared:
"What about Long Chen, let me..."
"Slap"
Before he could finish speaking, just as his claws were about to touch Long Chen's body, Long Chen's large hand slapped fiercely across his face.
"Boom"
This strike was powerful and forceful, and amidst the brilliant starlight, Kun Wufa's body pierced through the void and shot out. A thunderous explosion sounded in the distance, and a huge hole appeared in the void. Inside the hole, barriers emerged, the very barriers everyone had crossed before.
"The power of this slap..."
People were horrified. Long Chen's slap directly sent Kun Wufa flying out of the fire world, and they had no idea whether Kun Wufa was dead or alive. Everyone felt a chill down their spines; perhaps only Kun Wufa could withstand such a slap. If it were anyone else, they might have been smashed into dust on the spot.
"Damn fire spirit!"
Long Biluo, seeing Kun Wufa being slapped away, was both shocked and angry and slapped towards Huo Ling'er.
"Buzz"
However, Huo Ling'er smiled slightly, her body trembled lightly, and she instantly swapped positions with Long Chen.
"Boom"
A hand covered in starlight met Long Biluo's palm. Amidst the deafening noise, Long Biluo was forced back several steps. In terms of physical strength, she gained no advantage.
"He only has one fire spirit. If we all attack at once, he surely won't be able to handle it," shouted Lei Qianlang from the Thunder Phoenix Clan.
Kun Wufa being slapped away made him somewhat excited, as it reduced a powerful competitor.
Faced with Lei Qianlang's incitement, Huo Ling'er's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
Suddenly, the void trembled, and one figure after another appeared, densely surrounding the massive Life Pearl, numbering in the millions.
"Your family counts by heads, you pig!" shouted millions of Huo Ling'ers simultaneously at Lei Qianlang.
At that moment, everyone was stunned. Millions of Huo Ling'ers meant Long Chen could swap positions with any of them at any time.
"The substitution rune takes a long time to condense. Don't be fooled by her. Attack together!" Lei Qianlang shouted.
"How about you go first and show us how it's done?" an extraterrestrial strongman urged.
"You..."
Lei Qianlang was furious. Was this idiot in cahoots with Long Chen? He absolutely did not believe that each of Huo Ling'er's avatars had a substitution rune, but he didn't dare to take the risk himself.
The extraterrestrial strongman's taunt immediately dampened everyone's spirits, effectively buying Long Chen time, and Lei Qianlang was boiling with rage.
Watching as the runes within the Life Pearl flowed and sealed most of the pearl's walls, once fully sealed, it might be impossible to break through.
"A bunch of cowards!" Long Biluo was inwardly furious, seeing everyone hesitating to step forward.
Long Chen looked at Long Biluo, a smile appearing on his lips: "What's wrong? Finally sensed something amiss? Felt the curse's power, didn't you?"
Long Chen's words puzzled the strongmen present, who then looked at Long Biluo and saw a shocking scene.
Red spots appeared within the Emperor Flame surrounding Long Biluo. If not for Long Chen's reminder, they would have thought it was her divine symbols condensing. Now they sensed that the red spots contained a trace of curse power.
"Right, the Eight Desolation Demon Subduing Spear is a divine weapon of the Jiuli Clan. Long Biluo is from the Jiuli Clan, and she absorbed the world's law power..." someone exclaimed, finally realizing the issue.
The Chaos Vermilion Bird was killed by the Purple Blood Clan, and it must have harbored deep hatred for the Jiuli Clan. The space laws here contained the will of the Chaos Vermilion Bird, and Long Biluo absorbing it into her vision was akin to being poisoned.
People finally understood why Long Biluo, who had been so dominant and intent on killing Long Chen, suddenly became hesitant. She realized the problem too. If she dissipated her vision now, she could expel the curse.
If she continued fighting, the curse power would not only affect her combat strength but could also invade her flesh and even her soul.
"Long Chen, you truly are cunning," said Long Biluo coldly.
"Ha, it's laughable. Clearly, it's your own stupidity, yet you blame others. You so-called prodigies are truly disgusting," Long Chen replied disdainfully.
"Don't get too pleased just yet. Though I've been cursed, it doesn't mean you can leave alive. Even if I divert some power to suppress the curse, I still have the strength to kill you."
Long Biluo finished and addressed the crowd: "Now is your best chance to seize the Chaos Vermilion Bird. You don't need me to tell you what to do, right?"
"Whoosh"
Long Biluo finished, her hand changed seals, and the Emperor Flame burned, condensing into an Emperor Flame ring.
As the ring formed, a thunderous explosion occurred, shattering the void beneath Long Biluo's feet, and her aura surged madly.
"Jiuli Divine Blood, ignite the heavens!"
Long Biluo's shout was like a war god's roar, as terrifying shockwaves swept across the world, blowing away the strongmen watching.
Within a million-mile radius, no one could remain except Long Chen, who stood before Long Biluo. The gale blew his hair and clothes, and his originally motionless body was constantly pushed back.
"Oh my, Long Biluo's aura is at least ten times stronger than before. What kind of monster is this?" someone shouted, struggling to withstand the terrifying impact yet still retreating.
"Finally showing your trump card? Then I won't hold back either."
"Buzz"
A sea of stars appeared behind Long Chen, and one by one, star gates slowly opened.
