A golden arrow reached Ye Benchang in the blink of an eye. Ye Benchang suddenly sensed something off, and a giant shield appeared in his left hand.
BOOM!
The arrow exploded, unleashing a wave of golden light that shattered Ye Benchangâs shield.
This was Guo Ranâs attack. Following that, the Dragonblood warriors charged out, all of them with towering killing intent.
âThey all advanced to Netherpassage!â
Originally, this was the Dragonblood warriorsâ collective tribulation, but Long Chen had interjected himself midway, strengthening the tribulation and sending them into the lightning domain.
Within the lightning domain, the tribulation lightning had grown so powerful that it had far surpassed the limits of what they could endure. In reality, their Netherpassage rune had long since been formed at that time.
It was just that they hadnât realized it, and so they continued absorbing as much of the lightning as possible. Due to the drake kingâs help in absorbing a portion of the lightningâs most violent aspects, what was left was comparatively gentler.
As for the drake king, it wasnât too familiar with the human raceâs cultivation style, so it didnât know that the Dragonblood warriors had absorbed more than enough.
Thinking that they hadnât absorbed enough to pass, the Dragonblood warriors continued absorbing more and more even though they had reached their limits. They had compressed the energy when it filled them up and then absorbed more.
With Long Chen in trouble, they came charging out. As a result, as soon as they stepped into the world of the Martial Heaven Continent, the runes in their bodies came to life, causing their auras to instantly explode to a level that even they found unbelievable. An indescribable energy roared to life within their bodies.
BOOM!
Gu Yang took the lead, his manifestation bursting into existence behind him and his spear piercing toward Ye Benchang. In this one-on-one exchange, Gu Yang was blown back, his arms shaking. However, he didnât receive any substantial injuries.
That delighted him. Before this, he had been like an ant in front of Ye Benchang. Just one attack could have wiped him out. But now, not even one hair on his head was harmed, although he didnât have any actual hair to harm.
Ye Benchang was also startled. He had expected to give Gu Yang at least a serious injury just now. Even though Gu Yang and the others had advanced to the Netherpassage realm, he still didnât view them as anything more than insects to be swatted.
âKill his clones!â shouted Tang Wan-er. Holding translucent wind blades, she shot toward one of those clones.
That clone of Ye Benchangâs blocked with his sword, only to have that sword cut through like it was tofu. Her wind blade pierced forward, stabbing him through the head, killing the clone.
âWhat?!â Ye Benchangâs expression changed. That clone had possessed eighty percent of his power. Although he was not in his full-power state, that clone was stronger than an average third step Netherpassage expert.
Suddenly, another clone shuddered. A dagger had stabbed through the back of his head. A delicate figure appeared, a delicate figure who was the continentâs most terrifying assassin, Dong Mingyu.
Ye Zhiqiu, Chu Yao, Meng Qi, Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and the others all surrounded Long Chen. They slaughtered Ye Benchangâs clones in just a few seconds.
A towering willow grew high into the clouds. Liu Ruyan brought Long Chen into the heart of the Undying Willow. If anyone wanted to harm him, they would have to defeat her first.
âEliminate these hypocrites from the divine families who think they have any authority!â Guo Ran charged straight toward Ye Benchangâs true body. His dual sabers came out, their runes blazing with light.
BOOM!
One of his sabers fell, causing sparks to fly. Guo Ran was blown back.
Just at that moment, sword-light pierced the heavens. The cold light and the sword intent made Ye Benchang feel cold.
With a roar, Ye Benchangâs manifestation burst into existence. With the pressure of Yue Zifengâs attack, he had to summon his full power.
The reason he hadnât done so before wasnât just to put on a show. It was related to his cultivation technique. When he was in this state, he couldnât summon his clones. His original goal had been for his true body to stop the drake king, while his clones killed Long Chen.
He hadnât expected the Dragonblood Legion to come out and for their power to far surpass what he had predicted.
âVanish Slash!â
Ye Benchangâs sword swept forward, drowning Yue Zifengâs Sword Qi. A wave of his attack continued toward Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and the others.
âBlock together!â shouted Guo Ran. When Ye Benchang was at full power, he was comparable to a fourth step Netherpassage expert. Hence, the Dragonblood warriors linked their manifestations, and ten thousand swords flew in unison.
BOOM!
Sword Qi exploded. The Dragonblood warriors collectively fell back. Ye Benchangâs power was actually on par with theirs.
Ye Benchang was also forced back several steps. Blood dripped down his arm. At some point, a bloody hole had appeared in his shoulder.
A shocked expression appeared on his face. Just now, his attack had wiped out the Dragonblood warriorsâ attacks. The only thing he hadnât been able to erase was Yue Zifengâs Sword Qi. In the end, he had been forced to dodge, using his shoulder to take it. The sharp pain made him frown.
The will of the Sword Dao remained in his wound, and his Heavenly Dao energy was actually unable to heal it. He was unable to believe that Yue Zifengâs Sword Dao had reached such a terrifying level.
âDragonblood Cross Slash!â
Guo Ran crossed his blades. Runes appeared around every member of the Dragonblood Legion. As a result, all their power surged toward Guo Ran.
A giant cross split the void, crossing the distance in an instant. At the center of it was Ye Benchang.
Ye Benchangâs hair stood on end. He felt a sensation of death envelop him. If he took this attack alone, he would be on deathâs door, if not already dead.
âHeavenly Dragon Blood Explosion, Ten Thousand Daos Into One!â
Just at that moment, the warriors of the Heavenly Dragon Legion sent rays of divine light into Ye Benchangâs manifestation. The Heavenly Dragon Legion actually had their own way to merge their power.
With the support of the Heavenly Dragon Legion, Ye Benchang slashed his sword. In this instant, his manifestation vanished, with all the power that had gathered within it entering his sword.
This was a clash of world-shaking attacks. The combined power of the Dragonblood Legion met the combined power of the Heavenly Dragon Legion. A giant black hole appeared where they crashed, and it rapidly grew.
The void shuddered. Time and space were destroyed. The Dragonblood warriors felt like they had been struck by a giant hammer and hacked up blood.
The Heavenly Dragon Legion was the same. Some of their experts had their foreheads split open and let out cries. Their souls had been merged into that attack, so the impact of that attack had been felt even more closely by them.
Ye Benchang was sent flying, his sword-wielding arm broken. He coughed up three mouthfuls of blood and was pale with some lingering fright.
That attack had been even more powerful than he had expected. If it hadnât been for the support of the ten thousand members of the Heavenly Dragon Legion, he definitely would have died.
âKill them!â roared Ye Benchang. Long Chen couldnât be left alive, but now Ye Benchang knew that the Dragonblood Legion couldnât be left alive either.
âKill!â The Heavenly Dragon Legionâs warriors charged out in full force.
âBrothers, the Dragonblood Legion was created by our boss. Today, weâll show the world just who the strongest legion in this world is!â shouted Guo Ran. His armor blazed with light as he led the charge against the Heavenly Dragon Legion.
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, Ye Zhiqiu, Dong Mingyu, Cloud, Gu Yang, Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan charged toward Ye Benchang.
âEndless Falling Wood, Brambles Bury the Heavens!â As Guo Ran led the charge, Chu Yao made the first move. Her wooden staff summoned countless whips of thistles and thorns in midair. They shot toward Ye Benchang like pythons.
These brambles had actually taken root in midair. That was a strange sight. They were completely black, like creepers from hell and were filled with the aura of death.
Ye Benchang had never seen such a strange wood-attribute magical art, nor had he ever heard of such a thing. Which wood element magical art didnât sprout from the earth? Sensing their oddness, he didnât dare to be careless. He retreated as he attacked them.
Ye Benchangâs sword slashed into the brambles, only to find that they were so tough that he could only break a few of them with each strike. Most shocking of all, after being severed, the brambles would take root again and continue coming after him.
Within the world of brambles, Tang Wan-er, Ye Zhiqiu, Yue Zifeng, and the othersâ attacks sent Ye Benchang further and further back, completely flustered.
âBastards!â Ye Benchang saw that the Heavenly Dragon Legion was actually in a stalemate with the Dragonblood Legion. The Heavenly Dragon Legionâs warriors were all Netherpassage experts of the third step, but they were unable to suppress these rookies who had just stepped into the Netherpassage realm.
Seeing Long Chen hiding within Liu Ruyanâs towering willow body while absorbing the rune, a sense of crisis overwhelmed Ye Benchang. If Long Chen managed to absorb it and advance to the Netherpassage realm, he would no longer be able to rest in peace.
âDivine Blood Ignition!â Blood suddenly seeped out of Ye Benchangâs skin, transforming into flames that enveloped him.
BOOM!
Ye Benchang slashed his sword, tearing through Chu Yaoâs brambles. In that instant, Ye Benchangâs aura doubled in power, and his figure vanished as he charged through everyoneâs blockade, going straight toward Liu Ruyan.
âLong Chen, die!â Ye Benchang concentrated all his power into this one attack.
âRuyan!â shouted Meng Qi.
BOOM!
The sword fell and caused Liu Ruyanâs towering willow to explode along with Long Chen.
