Long Chen's attack, though seemingly wide-ranging and powerful, was actually all bark and no bite.
Long Chen hadn't intended for this attack to cause any sensation. After all, the vanguard of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan consisted of terrifying late-stage Divine Emperor experts.
Even a single late-stage Divine Emperor expert would be a challenge for Long Chen; with so many of them together, his attack was like a tickle.
However, Long Chen's attack wasn't meant to harm them, but rather to create an opportunity for Liu Ruyan.
The instant Long Chen attacked, Liu Ruyan also made her move. She didn't directly attack, but led the young experts of the Undying Clan, flanking them and attacking the young disciples of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan.
The Undying Clan experts were already seething with anger; now that Liu Ruyan had taken the lead, how could they possibly hold back? They roared and charged forward.
Liu Ruyan was also very clever. She realized that if she didn't act, these arrogant fellows would eventually escape unscathed, and the Undying Clan wouldn't go all out.
But as soon as she intervened, the situation would instantly spiral out of control. The experts of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan would definitely not stand idly by and watch their disciples be killed; they would surely come to help.
And once they made their move, the older generation of powerful figures in the Undying Clan would certainly not stand idly by either. In this way, she and Long Chen would achieve their goal.
In fact, the Undying Clan had long been seething with anger. The small Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan dared to challenge the Undying Demon Forest. If they weren't made to pay the price, what would become of the Undying Demon Forest's reputation? How could it continue to lead the billions of beings in the Undying System?
"Stop! Stop!" the leader of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan shouted anxiously.
But Liu Ruyan ignored him completely, leading her people directly into the ranks of the young disciples of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan. Amidst the flowing divine light, countless powerful figures of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan fell in droves.
Liu Ruyan was a true Divine Seed expert; even the powerful Aguta dared not fight her. These ordinary prodigies were like ants before her.
Liu Ruyan was ruthless and showed no mercy. Since they dared to challenge the honor of the Undying Clan, they had to be prepared to be killed.
"Pfft pfft pfft..."
Liu Ruyan's attacks were lightning fast, her willow leaves like blades, and wherever she passed, countless experts of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan were instantly annihilated.
Seeing this, the Divine Emperor experts of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan were both shocked and enraged, and charged directly at Liu Ruyan.
"Trying to bully the weak? A bunch of shameless dogs, I'll deal with you!"
With the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan's Divine Emperor attacking, the Undying Clan's Divine Emperor experts immediately seized the opportunity, roaring and charging out.
In reality, they were already furious at the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan's arrogance, but without the beautiful woman's orders, they could only endure it.
Now that Liu Ruyan had made her move, directly igniting the battle, they were immediately filled with anxiety, secretly praying that the older generation of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan would intervene. Even without orders, they could still take action.
"Boom boom boom..."
Everything unfolded exactly as Long Chen and Liu Ruyan had predicted. His attack was the fuse that ignited the great battle. Once the battle began, there was no going back easily.
"Stop! Stop! Lord Xihua, please order a halt! This is all a conspiracy by the human race! If this continues, we'll both be severely injured; it's detrimental to both of us!" With the battle underway, the elder of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan panicked, shouting loudly, his voice filled with pleading.
Hearing the old man directly shift the blame onto him, Long Chen couldn't help but sneer:
"You old fool, at least speak like a human being! That's right, this is all Brahma's conspiracy.
Brahma, this scum of humanity, deserves to be killed by everyone, yet you willingly act as his lackeys, deliberately provoking the Undead Clan to probe their secrets..."
Brahma was also human, so Long Chen directly passed the buck to him, continuing to shout loudly:
"Your arrogance and domineering attitude completely disregards the Undead race. If we allow you to leave so arrogantly, what will become of the Undead race's prestige?
Once you return, you'll spread rumors that the Undead race is a thing of the past, utterly fallen, and wouldn't dare utter a sound in the face of your provocation.
Then, you'll seize this opportunity to launch malicious attacks and spread rumors, smearing the Undead race and creating the illusion that they have lost their former glory.
After that, you'll go and persuade those races that are dependent on the Undead race, telling them that the Undead race has..." "The current situation is hopeless. Seeking refuge with Brahma is the wisest choice. This
will allow us to gradually erode the Undying Clan's affiliated forces. Now that the Nine Heavens are open, the world is in turmoil, facing a major reshuffle. Many forces were already observing with unease, easily swayed by your machinations.
A small provocation can be destroyed by an anthill; a seemingly insignificant provocation conceals a vicious conspiracy to annihilate the Undying Clan. Their methods are despicable, their intentions utterly reprehensible..."
Long Chen stood in the void, his voice resounding throughout the battlefield, each word penetrating to everyone's ears.
Upon hearing Long Chen's words, the beautiful woman's expression changed slightly. Initially, she thought it was just a minor provocation, something to be easily dismissed, preventing them from knowing the Undying Clan's true strength.
But after Long Chen's reminder, she realized how naive she had been. The thought that Long Chen's words would almost always come true sent a chill down her spine.
Within the Undying Clan, there were tens of thousands of races, and with the addition of affiliated forces from other factions, the number was countless.
The strength of the Undying Willow Clan is built upon the support of these forces. Without them, the Undying Willow Clan would
be isolated. Now that the Nine Heavens are open and all races are vying for supremacy, if they lose the support of these forces, the Undying Clan will be in grave danger. She, as the head of the Undying Willow Clan, hadn't even considered this, and was filled with shock, anger, and shame.
Just then, Long Chen's voice rang out again, his tone changing to impassioned fervor:
"Warriors of the Undying Clan, this battle is not a matter of pride, but a battle for survival, a battle for our people, a battle for the glory of the Undying Clan!
Wield your claws, bare your fangs, and repay the humiliation inflicted upon us by these ants tenfold, a hundredfold..."
Long Chen's roar drove the Undying Clan's warriors into a frenzy. When had they ever experienced such incitement? Their eyes turned bloodshot, and they felt an inexhaustible strength coursing through their veins, charging forward with unbridled fury.
"Damn bastard, die!"
Seeing Long Chen still fanning the flames, the elder of the Great Luo Azure Lotus Clan's face twisted with rage. His figure blurred, carrying terrifying divine power, appearing before Long Chen and slamming a claw down at him.
"What the hell!"
The instant the elder attacked, Long Chen was horrified to find the void imprisoned, all paths stripped away, all the blood within him ceased, and even his soul froze.
Only then did Long Chen realize with horror how terrifying this old man was; before him, Long Chen was as insignificant as an ant. He
was about to be slapped to death, but Long Chen wasn't afraid. Sure enough, a fragrant breeze wafted, and a beautiful figure appeared before him—it was Lady Xihua who had made her move.
The moment Lady Xihua appeared, Long Chen felt a sense of relief wash over him, regaining his freedom. Without thinking, he ran away as fast as he could.
"Lady Xihua, beat this shameless old man's head into a dog's head..." Long Chen shouted arrogantly as he ran.
"Boom!"
Just then, Lady Xihua clashed palms with the old man, divine light illuminating the world. Although Long Chen was fast, he couldn't outrun that divine light.
"Pfft!" Long
Chen was struck by the divine light, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
