Chapter 405: Nine Heavens Battle Sword
"You insolent fool!" Seeing that Long Chen dared to provoke him and even killed three Eighth River Stage Immortal Guards, the Sword Devil was truly angry. However, he also had a very important question in his mind: who exactly was Long Chen?
As long as I kill you, I can find out who you are. Do you think you can hide your identity from me? The Sword Devil did not hold back.
Long Chen had already approached him. The Star Sword instantly rose and turned into countless images that slashed towards the opponent. The residual images shrouded over the Sword Devil's head and ripped through the air.
"A trivial trick." The Sword Devil sneered. His eyes flickered, and his nine swords moved vigorously and emitted sharp whistling sounds. The swords arranged themselves in a circular formation in front of the Sword Devil!
"Let me show you my technique! Let’s see if you survive this!” The Sword Devil laughed madly, and his Ninth River Stage Qi erupted. Streams of Qi extended from his body and connected to the nine swords, which started to rotate violently!
"Nine Heaven Battle Swords!”
He used his Qi to position the rotating swords to form a huge cone, and the tip was aimed at Long Chen’s Star Sword!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of weapons clashing erupted wildly. Long Chen could feel the impact shattering the Star Sword. The broken shrapnel exploded and shot outwards!
"Die!" All of this was within the Sword Devil's expectations. He had planned to shatter Long Chen’s sword using the nine advanced Earth-tier swords. As long as continued his attack, Long Chen would die.
However, he had underestimated Long Chen.
Losing the Star Sword made Long Chen realize that he wouldn’t be able to kill the Sword Devil without revealing his identity. If he wanted to survive, he had to expose who he was. Also, he had to kill the Sword Devil in a very short time!
Watching the nine swords about to pierce his body, what Long Chen felt was not despair but rather excitement. His body suddenly swayed and he avoided the attack of the Nine Heaven Battle Swords. The swords circled back to the Sword Devil. During this time, Long Chen's body rapidly transformed. Blood-red scales quickly covered his body and he assumed his strongest form.
"Soul Beast Transformation, blood-red dragon scales?" The Sword Devil was extremely surprised when Long Chen evaded his attack, and seeing Long Chen’s transformed form reminded him of something. He rapidly searched his memories and was stunned when he remembered who Long Chen was.
The events that took place three months ago. Although the Sword Devil was stationed in Counter Essence City, he was well aware of what had transpired. More importantly, he had seen Long Chen before. Long Chen had killed the guards and escaped from the Counter Essence Realm, and what he had done during his escape had astonished the Sword Devil. He only knew that Long Chen had been rescued by the Heavenly Demon Palace, and now he was back?
The Sword Devil actually felt a slight chill run down his spine.
"You are Long Chen! What you just used looked like one of the three secret techniques of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Traceless Demon Shadow!" The Sword Devil's mind was filled with unimaginable horror.
Long Chen didn't answer him. Instead, he immediately followed up with the Demon Seed Planting Technique. His Qi soared again, surpassing that of the Sword Devil!
"Demon Seed Planting Technique!" This time, the Sword Devil was truly shocked. Long Chen had only fled to the Heavenly Demon Palace three months ago, yet he had already learned two of the Heavenly Demon Palace's secret techniques. Accomplishing so much in such a short time was unheard of! What kind of cultivation had Long Chen gone through?
"Long Chen, you came back to the Biyang Imperial City for revenge, right? Unfortunately, you ran into me first! Even though you know Traceless Demon Shadow and the Demon Seed Planting Technique, your attacks are only at the level of the Eighth River Stage. Now that your identity is exposed, you are doomed to die!" The Sword Devil laughed wildly.
"Is that so? Then here's something even more surprising..." At this moment, Long Chen opened his eyes shrouded in black mist. He had far more Qi than the Sword Devil!
"More surprising?" The Sword Devil didn’t know what to expect, but then he saw Long Chen gradually pull out a Divine Arm enveloped in demonic energy! When the Sword Devil the sword, his mind went blank, and he muttered in a daze, "Demon... Emperor... Sword..."
When Long Chen took out the Demon Emperor Sword, the Sword Devil's heart fell from heaven to hell. The Heavenly Demon Palace had three secret techniques, and the most precious was the Demon Emperor Sword Technique. Long Chen had proven that he was capable of utilizing two of them, and he had the Demon Emperor Sword in his possession. The Sword Devil refused to believe that Long Chen didn't have the Demon Emperor Sword Technique!
In other words, Long Chen had received the complete inheritance from the Heavenly Demon Palace. He only needed to elevate his cultivation level to the Heavenly Passage Realm, and he would be another Heavenly Demon Palace Master like Zhao Qingyun!
Long Chen was undoubtedly supremely talented, or he wouldn’t have accomplished so much in so little time. And now that he had been given adequate resources and power, the Sword Devil didn’t know what would happen. He stared at the terrifying Demon Emperor Sword, unable to utter a single word!
When Long Chen took out the Demon Emperor Sword, he was ready to take the Sword Devil's life!
"You destroyed my Star Sword just now. I've used that sword for some time. So..." When Long Chen said this, he suddenly used Traceless Demon Shadow. Instantly, his body split into a million shadows, making it impossible to distinguish which was real and which was fake. His attacks instantly descended upon the Sword Devil's head!
"Impossible!" The Sword Devil refused to accept that he would lose here, but that didn't stop him from desperately trying to save himself. At this moment, he suddenly focused on the Nine Heaven Battle Swords and circulated his Qi. The swords howled as they swirled around furiously and lunged towards Long Chen.
“Nine Heavens Battle Swords, Heaven and Earth Evisceration!”
The swords flew towards Long Chen with great force one by one. Each of them was like a massive claw that threatened to tear him apart.
Such a fierce attack! Even the First Demon Elder might not be able to withstand it!
Long Chen secretly admired the technique. Although there were only two members of the imperial family at the Ninth River Stage, both were extraordinary individuals. With the Sword Devil's strength, he could probably match the First Demon Elder. The First Demon Elder excelled in the Demon Seed Planting Technique, while the Sword Devil was obviously skilled in attacking!
However, Long Chen was so strong that he overwhelmed the Sword Devil in every aspect!
"Demon Emperor Sword Qi!" After evading the Sword Devil's attack, Long Chen suddenly swung his sword, and black Sword Qi collided with the Nine Heaven Battle Swords. The tremendous power even caused an explosion!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
This time, the situation was completely opposite to the last time. Long Chen's Star Sword had been shredded in the previous clash, but now four of the Sword Devil’s swords were shattered by Long Chen's Demon Emperor Sword. If the Sword Devil hadn't hurriedly withdrawn the remaining five swords in a panic, they would probably have all been destroyed!
"Long Chen, these swords are even more important than my life! You actually destroyed them!" The Sword Devil cherished his swords as much as his life. After Long Chen destroyed four of them, he let out a roar in rage. At this point, he quit trying to figure out how Long Chen had become so powerful and focused only on killing him!
"Die!" The Sword Devil's eyes were bloodshot now, and his Qi surged violently. To Long Chen’s surprise, the five swords merged into one!
"My swords can fuse into a Divine Arm at the Elementary Heaven-tier. Long Chen, it's all your fault. You made me lose my Heaven-tier Divine Arm. You will pay with your life! Let me show you the Heaven-tier sword technique of the imperial family!"
The Sword Devil let out a roar. Now with only a single sword, he shot towards Long Chen. He swung his sword violently, and a sky-rending ray of Sword Qi surged forth. The Qi slashed toward Long Chen diagonally! This massive attack was at least ten times stronger than his previous one!
This was undoubtedly the Sword Devil's most powerful move!
"Die! Imperial Heaven Sword!"
The overbearing Sword Qi seemed powerful enough to tear the heavens and earth apart. Long Chen could feel that the entire Counter Essence Realm trembling!
"You only know a single Heaven-tier sword technique?" Long Chen chuckled and took a few steps back. While retreating, black mist began to envelop the Demon Emperor Sword. It gradually transformed into a long snake entwining the Demon Emperor Sword. At this moment, Long Chen's expression remained calm and his aura erupted with a loud bang, then he suddenly swung his sword!
The world instantly lost all color and the heavens were turned upside down!
"Demon Emperor Sword Technique... Supreme Emperor Sword!"
With this move, an even more terrifying Sword Qi erupted, and it was aimed directly at the Sword Devil's Imperial Heaven Sword!
The Supreme Emperor Sword was the first technique of the Demon Emperor Sword Technique. Since Long Chen had almost as much Qi as a cultivator the Heavenly Passage Realm, the attack was exceedingly strong!
