Thunderforce inherently possessed a void-breaking ability. There was practically no spatial resistance. The Feather race expertâs head was still muddled from being slapped, but suddenly seeing that Long Chen had arrived right in front of him, his wings lit up.
âOh?â
Long Chen was surprised. He had tried to grab the Feather race expertâs throat, but he had missed. He was already hundreds of meters away with his bow nocked.
âCloudsplitting Arrow!â
A huge arrow pierced through the air. It practically reached Long Chen the instant it left the bowstring.
This arrow was covered in runes. Long Chen was a bit startled. As expected, the Feather raceâs name was not for nothing. Even such an ordinary Celestial was able to condense their Heavenly Dao runes into their arrows to give them incredible power. It was similar to Yue Qianshanâs technique.
âSplit your bird clouds,â snorted Long Chen. Light danced over his fist as he slammed it into the arrow.
BOOM!
In front of the Feather race expertâs appalled gaze, his powerful arrow was blown apart by Long Chenâs fist. Long Chen wasnât the slightest bit injured.
âImpossible! Receive another one of my attacks!â The Feather race expert roared furiously, and he continuously shot out arrow after arrow, all of them enveloped by his Heavenly Dao runes.
This kind of attack was something ordinary Celestials would need to use their full strength to block. If they could block a single one of them, that would already be impressive. To block three in a row would be essentially impossible.
The experts from the Feather race had an innate advantage over others. With their wings, they possessed both great speed and could get a terrain advantage by shooting from the air.
However, he was rather unlucky to have run into Long Chen. His terrifying arrows were smashed apart one by one by Long Chenâs fists.
Powerful explosions rocked the land. Because they were fighting in the air, quite a few people in these mountain ranges came to watch.
âHeavens, isnât this person from the Feather race?â
âWho would be so brazen as to challenge one of them? Are they suicidal?â wondered some people. Before entering, their sect leaders had all warned them not to provoke anyone from the Feather race.
If they offended other experts, they could always flee. But against the Feather race, there was no way to run.
âDamn, isnât that Long Chen, the number one disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect, a demon-class genius who even suppressed their Four Heavenly Geniuses?â
Although Long Chen didnât possess much fame, the Feather raceâs Yu Changhao had challenged him before the Immemorial Path opened with all of them watching. And Long Chen hadnât taken his challenge lying down.
Even up against the Feather raceâs junior master, he was still so valiant. Also, even the Bloodkill Hallâs Huang Junmo had said he would personally kill him. So it was a given that he had drawn quite a bit of attention.
BOOM!
Long Chenâs fist smashed apart the final arrow. He icily looked at his opponent. In truth, he was just probing him, wanting to learn the Feather raceâs style of fighting in preparation for handling Yu Changhao.
His opponent was a bit pale now. He had shot out dozens of his Heavenly Dao empowered arrows. Now, his Heavenly Dao energy was running low, while Long Chen still seemed so relaxed. That made him a bit afraid. He finally realized why someone as powerful as Yu Changhao would be interested in him.
âHmph, you have some ability. Only like this do you have the qualifications to die at the hands of the junior master. Count your blessings.â After saying this, the Feather race expert actually fled, turning into a ray of light.
âWhat?!â
He had only flown a few hundred meters away when he suddenly realized that there was a person in front of him with lightning wings. Wasnât that Long Chen?
âIâve already said that your arrow brought you a calamity.â
Did he really think he could just shoot him and then flee once he was unable to win while spouting such arrogant words? Such a good thing couldnât possibly happen. Long Chen pointed his finger toward the birdman.
âLightning Finger!â
Due to how hastily he was fleeing, the Feather race expert was unable to come to a complete stop in time. A destructive lightning arrow pierced through his body.
He didnât even have a chance to scream before his body directly exploded into a bloody mist. Within that bloody mist were many feathers.
âHe died⊠just like that?â
The spectators were all stunned. Someone from the powerful Feather race was unable to receive a single blow from Long Chen.
It was no wonder Yu Changhao and Huang Junmo would challenge him. This kind of power was horrifying and far beyond their comprehension.
After killing him, another Heavenly Dao Fruit appeared in the primal chaos space. Now that his cultivation base had increased, he didnât need to go destroy Celestialsâ Heavenly Dao runes. Once they were killed, their Heavenly Dao runes would be automatically absorbed by the primal chaos space.
This was excellent. Even if he couldnât find anything else, just getting over three hundred Heavenly Dao Fruits would satisfy Long Chen.
Thinking of himself leading a Dragonblood Legion where all three hundred and sixty members were Celestials, he was filled with anticipation.
âThis Long Chen has provoked a calamity. Yu Changhao definitely wonât let him off.â
âTch, that Yu Changhao is too arrogant. Long Chen was right. They really are just a bunch of birdmen. Donât they like to call themselves the ancient races? Theyâre just a bunch of hybrids.â
âShut up! Even if you donât want to live, donât bring us down!â
After killing his opponent, Long Chen examined the spectators watching him. He didnât notice anyone he recognized.
It seemed the sect masterâs words were correct. The Immemorial Path was truly vast, and no one knew where others were teleported to.
Although he was a bit worried about Song Mingyuan and Li Qi, they couldnât entirely rely on others to live in the cultivation world. They needed to rely on themselves.
He ignored the gazes of these people and went on his way. Previously, Ouyang Qiuyu had explained some taboos to them, but she hadnât given them a map.
Ouyang Qiuyuâs reasoning was extremely simple: whether it was the Righteous experts or Corrupt experts, they all had maps. If you wanted one, you could snatch one whenever.
Back then, Long Chen hadnât really understood. This sect master of his really was too lazy. She hadnât even prepared maps or even given them directions.
Later, after being in contact with her for longer, he had realized that Ouyang Qiuyu was different from most leaders. She liked to let nature take its course, and she didnât like interfering with the matters of disciples. In her opinion, experts should grow in the wild. Those that were raised in a fence werenât true geniuses.
At first, Long Chen had found that a bit odd. But he did admire Ouyang Qiuyuâs viewpoint.
It was fated for experts to experience all kinds of trials. Only then could they truly release their light. Sometimes, helping someone with good intentions might end up irrevocably harming them. Obviously, after Ouyang Qiuyu had managed to control her temper, she had also managed to attain a much higher level of enlightenment.
On his way, Long Chen found quite a few high-tier medicinal ingredients. After passing through several mountains, he noticed more and more people around, and many of them were people he didnât recognize.
They were wearing the Righteous pathâs robes, but they hadnât entered from the same entrance as him. Ouyang Qiuyu had said that the Eastern Wasteland had two entrances available to them, and she had chosen the closer one.
He supposed these people were the ones that came from the other entrance. They looked at Long Chen oddly, because they didnât sense any aura of the Heavenly Daos coming from his body. In other words, he wasnât a Celestial.
âBrat-â Suddenly, a large fellow blocked Long Chenâs path, looking at him disdainfully.
Pow!
âFuck off. Donât waste my time. Canât you do proper things? Next time you get in my way, Iâll slap you to death.â Long Chen knew what this idiot was planning with just a glance at his eyes.
In the Eastern Wasteland, Long Chen might have some fame, but that fame was mainly that he had the ability to fight Celestials without actually being a Celestial. So unable to sense Long Chenâs Heavenly Dao aura, they recognized who he was.
Many Celestials refused to accept the rumors. They felt that Long Chen was blaspheming the dignity of Celestials. That person had come out to test Long Chen. But as a result, he was knocked unconscious by his slap.
This group of people really had to have something wrong with their brains. They didnât use their time to explore, to find treasures, or even to kill enemies. Instead, they came to find trouble for him. If Long Chenâs mood wasnât so good, heâd have directly smashed apart his head.
In truth, Long Chen had really had an urge to do just that. Even if it wasnât for anything else, just a Heavenly Dao Fruit made it worth it. But Long Chen restrained that kind of desire. He couldnât use greed as an excuse to kill people. Otherwise, he would no longer be Long Chen.
After slapping that person away, Long Chen suddenly saw four people rapidly rushing across the land. They were wearing the Corrupt pathâs robes.
âThe foodâs come.â Long Chen was delighted and he suddenly appeared in front of them, roaring, âThese mountains were opened by me, these trees were planted- Damnit, canât you wait for me to finish talking?!â
Long Chen had only just started talking when the four Corrupt experts released their Cries of the Heavenly Daos and attacked him.
The person at the front was a large man whose fist shone with a bronze light.
BOOM!
Without even looking, Long Chen also sent out a fist. As a result, half of that personâs body was smashed to pulp. The other Corrupt experts were stunned.
Long Chen once more let out a punch, and that injured man didnât even have a chance to speak before his head was blown apart.
Currently, Long Chenâs fourth star was growing stronger with each passing day. Long Chen consumed medicinal pills like candy, constantly feeding it energy. He already had the ability to kill ordinary Celestials with just brute, physical power.
Furthermore, one benefit of only relying on his physical body was that there were no spiritual yuan fluctuations, which made it so his enemies were unable to instinctively predict what he was doing. This was also another reason Long Chenâs slapping arts were so effective.
âYou⊠youâre Long Chen?!â one of them asked in horror.
âOh, you actually know my name?â Long Chen was a bit surprised.
âRun!â
The other three Celestials didnât even think about it before turning tail and fleeing in three different directions.
