Chapter 6263 - Grasp of Shadows

The massive gate opened, and the power of darkness filled the entire world. All the strong individuals bore expressions of fear, as the mere aura threatened to crush them alive. This power seemed not only to crush them but also to shatter the fiery world constructed by the Chaos Vermilion Bird. Heaven and earth trembled, myriad paths roared, and the entire world seemed unable to withstand the power of the dark gate, on the verge of collapse. "Long Chen, you arrogant ant, without the power of the curse, let me show you what my true strength is," Long Biluo coldly shouted, fingers clenched tightly, divine light flickering on her nails as she swung fiercely to the side. A black line extended infinitely, cutting through the sky, slicing a massive gash across thousands of miles of void at her gesture. "Oh my God..." The spectators were completely stunned. What level of power was this? It had entirely surpassed their understanding. Even a strong individual with the power of five hundred Emperor Flames would be instantly obliterated into dust by a casual strike from Long Biluo. "Long Chen is doomed now." "After Long Biluo kills Long Chen, I wonder if she'll have the power to destroy the Natal Orb. If she does, perhaps we still have a chance." In that moment, the people's already desperate hearts were stirred again. If Long Chen won, they naturally wouldn't have the ability to compete for the Chaos Vermilion Bird inheritance. But if Long Biluo won, they would have a chance, as Long Biluo, being human, could not obtain the Chaos Vermilion Bird inheritance. Previously, Kun Wufa had gained Long Biluo's help, and if it weren't for Long Chen's appearance, he would have succeeded. If anyone here could gain Long Biluo's assistance, the result wouldn't be much different. However, it would take some effort to figure out what conditions could move a master like Long Biluo. "Long Chen, do you see it? This is me in my prime. How can you, an ant, possibly withstand it?" Long Biluo ascended into the sky, beside her the freshly shattered spatial rift. Her cold voice echoed through the heavens and earth, the scene filled with divine might. Long Chen looked calmly at everything before him, his expression unchanged. Such a terrifying strike did not elicit the response Long Biluo desired. "I've had enough of your foolish demeanor. Once I tear you apart, let's see if you can maintain that expression." Long Biluo gritted her teeth, slowly raising her hand, fingers spread, aimed at Long Chen. Behind her, the dark giant gate trembled, and in her palm, Emperor Flames flickered. "Grip of Shadows!" With a sudden shout, Long Biluo's hand clenched tightly. Suddenly, the entire world shook, collapsing from around Long Chen as a massive hand transitioned from the intangible to the tangible, continuously transforming. This strike had an enormous scope, seemingly enveloping the entire world, unavoidable and inescapable. In the face of this move, no technique could be employed. As the giant hand slowly tightened, the space around Long Chen contracted rapidly, the force of the space clashing against the stars surrounding Long Chen, emitting explosive booms. "In this strike, it's a contest of pure strength, with no tricks possible. The victor will be decided in one blow," someone remarked, seeing Long Chen already locked by the giant hand, unable to escape. "If Long Chen is killed, it shows that Long Biluo also has the strength to ascend the celestial scale. But who knows how many unknown monsters like this exist within the Heavenly Domain Battlefield?" someone else speculated, thinking further ahead. If such monsters roamed the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, there would be no place for them at all. The giant hand continued to tighten, with the space around Long Chen beginning to collapse extensively. The stars around him trembled, and the five massive star gates above the Nine Heavens swayed uneasily. "Descendant of the Nine Stars? Star Hegemon Body? Invincible in your rank? What a joke. Your era has passed, still lost in past glories? Today, let your dreams awaken!" Long Biluo's hand pressed towards Long Chen, her voice booming across the heavens. With her exertion, the dark hand gradually transitioned from the intangible to the tangible, with specks of Emperor Flame rising on the hand, identical to her own palm. Cracks spread around Long Chen, yet they didn't shatter, seemingly restrained by the power of the giant hand, threatening to crush Long Chen along with the entire void. "Too strong, as powerful as Long Chen is, after Long Biluo summoned the phenomenon, he has no power to resist," people exclaimed in shock. The battle prowess Long Chen had previously displayed was incredibly fierce, yet now he was easily constrained, the disparity was too great. "However, Long Chen, this guy, remains calm and composed. Does he have another card to play?" Someone noticed that even though Long Chen was caught by the giant hand, his expression remained calm, with no sign of panic or fear, which seemed illogical. "The perfect fusion of the Nine Li Bloodline with the power of the Emperor Flame, this strength is indeed formidable, but only just formidable," Long Chen finally spoke, his voice calm, unsettling Long Biluo. Long Biluo sneered, the dark power continued to erupt, not daring to show any laxity, coldly responding: "Facing death, you still talk tough? The Grip of Shadows is a Chaos Divine Art, boundlessly profound, and I have cultivated it to perfection. This move, no one below the Divine Emperor can..." "Star Gate Six, Realm Gate—Open!" Long Chen's voice, like the murmur of a god, interrupted Long Biluo's arrogant words. With a massive explosion, the five star gates in the starry sky shifted, making way for an opening, and yet another star gate opened. When the six gates opened together, the stellar forces between them interacted, forming a massive six-pointed star god diagram. The stellar force around Long Chen ignited instantly, followed by a vast force erupting from him as the center. With a tremendous explosion, Long Biluo's dark hand was instantly blown apart, transforming into countless runes dancing in the sky. Long Chen's stellar force surged through the heavens and earth like a reversed galaxy flowing into the sky. Ripples spread in all directions, with starlight surging within, shattering myriad paths, reversing space-time, rendering the entire world indistinguishable from top to bottom, front to back. Including Long Biluo, everyone was swept away by the ripples, flying straight to the edge of the fiery world, crashing into the flame barrier. "Can't move," someone shouted in terror. The ripples held them firmly against the barrier, and just as they tried to struggle, the second wave of ripples arrived, making them feel as if they were about to burst. Then came the third wave, the fourth wave... each more violent, each more grand. Cracks began to appear in the flame barrier around them, unable to withstand the terrifying ripples. With a massive explosion, the vast fiery world was forcibly blown apart by Long Chen's stellar force.
