Chapter 6294 - Invincible Nebula Step

Long Chen charged towards the red-haired man, towering over him, and delivered a fierce kick. The red-haired man, both shocked and enraged, formed a seal with one hand, his body surrounded by swirling demonic energy, and flickered a hundred miles to the side. However, just as he moved, he was horrified to find Long Chen's foot already aimed at his face, kicking fiercely. It turned out that Long Chen never intended for this strike to land; the red-haired man had been murmuring incantations, seemingly up to something suspicious. Seeing Huo Ling'er holding her own, Long Chen decided to capture the leader first. His intuition told him that this red-haired man was extremely treacherous and could not be allowed to continue. "Boom!" With an explosive sound, the red-haired man swung his arm to block, resulting in a loud explosion as his sleeve shattered and his entire body was sent flying. Long Chen was taken aback. This kick, imbued with immense power of the stars, should have been unstoppable, even with eight hundred Emperor Flames. Yet, upon closer inspection of the red-haired man, Long Chen realized that beneath his sleeve, there was a hidden arm guard. This arm guard was covered in runes, exuding imperial energy, revealing itself to be a powerful imperial weapon capable of resisting Long Chen's kick. "Rumble…" At that moment, the entire battlefield trembled. Long Chen was horrified to discover that numerous corpses on the ground began to stir, and even more buried creatures beneath the earth were becoming restless. "This guy is indeed up to something big, attempting to awaken the souls of all the extraterrestrial demons!" Long Chen's heart raced; if he succeeded, all would be lost. "I must interrupt him!" Long Chen's gaze turned sharp. The demonic tribe had been operating on the Heavenly Domain Battlefield for countless years, turning it into a backyard for extraterrestrial experts with countless methods beyond the imagination of the Nine Heavens' strong. "Rumble…" On the battlefield, Huo Ling'er wielded a flaming spear, unleashing a sky-covering blaze, fiercely battling the golden-winged demon. It seemed she could hold out for a while. "Hoo." Long Chen took a deep breath, the stars around him spinning rapidly. A cloud appeared under his feet as Long Chen's figure flickered and vanished. "So fast." The red-haired man's pupils shrank sharply as Long Chen's figure disappeared from his perception. "Buzz." The red-haired man burned with over eight hundred Emperor Flames, forming a wall of flames to enclose himself. "Boom." The newly formed flame wall was instantly pierced by a star-filled fist that struck the red-haired man's chest, causing him to spew blood and fly across the ground. "Nebula Step." Long Chen snorted coldly, the nebula reappearing beneath his feet. His figure vanished instantly, the void trembling as Long Chen appeared behind the red-haired man. The red-haired man was horrified, the runes on his arm guard shining brightly as he instinctively blocked, but Long Chen's whip-like leg struck the arm guard fiercely. "Clang!" A loud sound echoed, sparks flying as the clash of metal resounded across the battlefield. The red-haired man grunted as Long Chen's kick sent him into the air. "Buzz." Long Chen's figure flickered again, appearing above the void. At this moment, the red-haired man happened to fly upwards, and Long Chen's star-powered foot kicked down fiercely. "Boom." The red-haired man plummeted like a shooting star, crashing into the ground. The entire battlefield quaked, the terrifying shockwave sweeping everyone off their feet. Nebula Step was a footwork technique Long Chen had once covertly learned, but he never fully grasped its essence. Though it aided his movement after cultivation, it never achieved the effect Long Chen desired. The core of Nebula Step was absolute control over star power, with a star map in mind, spread across the heavens, reaching the desired location with each step. This star map was an intangible reflection of the internal star power onto the surrounding world, creating star markers. When the internal star power synchronized with the external star markers, theoretically, one could traverse anywhere in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths without crossing boundaries. However, the gap between theory and practice was vast. Initially projecting star power onto the surroundings was the simplest part. But the projection distance was problematic; previously, Long Chen could project star power within ten thousand miles, which should have sufficed. The issue arose when fewer stars were placed within the range, making movement more precise and manipulating star power easier. For instance, projecting a single star position allowed for blind positioning, but ten stars required some skill. A hundred star positions were Long Chen's previous limit, where mistakes were frequent, often resulting in moving backward instead of forward. Additionally, a hundred star positions were insufficient for a vast battlefield, with only a hundred markers for up, down, left, right, front, and back. How likely was it for an enemy to conveniently stand on a star marker? Consequently, though Long Chen understood the principle behind Nebula Step, it was largely ineffective unless the opponent happened to stand on a star marker. Otherwise, appearing eight hundred miles away from the enemy would be laughable. But now it was different. With the Supreme Bone activated, endless star power illuminated the entire battlefield. Long Chen could appear anywhere on this field at will, faster than domain teleportation. However, the vast star projection consumed immense energy, preventing Long Chen from maintaining it long-term. Quick resolution was necessary. "Four-Star Demon Prison." Long Chen kicked the red-haired man into the ground, forming seals with his hands as four star pillars descended from the sky, piercing the earth. "Rumble…" The four star pillars stood tall, rapidly closing in with a loud explosion. The bloodied red-haired man attempted to escape but was ruthlessly crushed by the towering pillars. "Crack, crack, crack…" The red-haired man roared in anger, struggling desperately as his bones creaked under the pressure, yet he refused to abandon his seal with his left hand. Long Chen snorted, altering his hand seals as the Supreme Bone within him glowed. He was ready to increase the star power; if the red-haired man didn't abandon his seal, he'd be crushed to death. "Buzz." At that moment, a black mist-emitting spear pierced through the void, transforming into a black rainbow with terrifying imperial might, aimed at Long Chen's back. "Divine Emperor Artifact?" Long Chen's expression changed slightly. Though he feared not the Divine Emperor Artifact, his full power focused on the red-haired man. Blocking this attack might allow the red-haired man to escape, rendering his efforts futile. "Buzz." As the black spear appeared, another direction revealed a blood-colored demon blade, carrying ominous blood light, striking towards Long Chen from above—another Divine Emperor Artifact. With the appearance of two divine weapons, Long Chen abruptly abandoned the red-haired man, flickering away to evade their attacks. As Long Chen dodged the weapons, the red-haired man seized the opportunity, breaking free and shouting, "Damn it, you finally arrived. Quick, let's finish him…" "Boom." At that moment, Ming Yu, who had been trapped, broke free from the barrier and slashed with his sword like a rainbow across the sky. "Pfft." The red-haired man's left hand, forming seals, was forcibly severed by Ming Yu's exquisite sword strike.
