Dragon War God

Chapter 791 - Killing The Sect Elder

“Three Thousand Star Clusters!” Everyone knew that Long Chen was unable to use it because he was only at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. One had to be at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage to utilize its power properly.

But Long Chen had as much essence as someone at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage, and his essence was special compared to the essence of others, so he was more than capable of wielding the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

The Three Thousand Star Clusters was formed from the three thousand stars on his body. Each of them contained the power of a real star and existed as celestial Qi, which was comparable to the Metal Devouring Wind. Long Chen used his essence to circulate the celestial Qi, and it exploded outwards from the Three Thousand Star Clusters. Even if he didn’t use a technique, a single explosion of celestial Qi was already a horrifying attack.

Long Chen channeled his essence and merged his Dragon Soul Essence and the celestial Qi together. A large cloud of purple and blood-red gas flew towards Situ Yao. The Three Thousand Star Clusters’ strength far exceeded Long Chen’s expectations. He didn’t know what tier the Three Thousand Star Clusters was, but now he assumed that it was an advanced Emperor-tier Divine Weapon. It was just one step away from the Divine tier!

It was definitely considered a treasure even in the Three Emperor Territories.

“Three Thousand Star Clusters!” Situ Yao channeled all of his essence into the Heavenly Demon Meteor!

Which was stronger? The Three Thousand Star Clusters or the Heavenly Demon Meteor?

The answer was revealed when Long Chen’s dazzling spear pierced through Situ Yao’s fist with a howl.

“What’s going on?” Everyone was shocked, especially Situ Yao. He was confident in the technique that he had perfected over the years. But his confidence was shattered by Long Chen when an incredibly sharp force pierced through his fist. Even the Ever-Changing Spear had been destroyed by the Three Thousand Star Clusters, much less SItu Yao’s fist.

The Three Thousand Star Clusters was also much stronger than Long Chen had anticipated it to be. The celestial Qi formed a whirlpool that covered the tip of the spear before piercing into Situ Yao’s body!

“AHHH!” Situ Yao cried out in pain because it wasn’t just the tip that had stabbed into his body, but also the celestial Qi. Long Chen could finally share the pain of being ravaged by celestial Qi with someone else. He had the protection of the Seven Star Essence and the control given by the core while he was bathed in celestial Qi, but Situ Yao didn’t. The celestial Qi that was injected into his body was destroying him from the inside out!

“Why! Why!” The Three Thousand Star Clusters that he yearned for was embedded in his body. Situ Yao’s mind blanked out as the intense pain burned his spirit.

“Die! Explode!” Situ Yao used all of his strength to forcefully eject the Three Thousand Star Clusters by exploding part of his chest. At the same time, he forced out the celestial Qi at the price of even more flesh.

“He’s only at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage! He cannot kill me!” Situ Yao refused to believe it. After forcing the Three Thousand Star Clusters out, he used the final attack of the Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist to try and kill Long Chen!

But Long Chen's eyes glinted and he spun the Three Thousand Star Clusters. He swung the spear into Situ Yao’s arm and smashed it into pieces. Flesh and blood sprayed everywhere, and Situ Yao cried out in pain and flew backwards. He could no longer attack now that his arm was destroyed. He was nothing but a cripple now.

“Long Chen!” Situ Yao howled as his eyes turned bloodshot.

His hatred for Long Chen had no bounds.

“It’s normal for a person to be greedy. I'm greedy too. But there are things that require luck in this world. I am lucky, so I managed to obtain the inheritance. You, however, will never be able to touch it. Those who want to take my things are my enemies. And all of my enemies meet the same end—death.”

When Situ Yao was blown away by Long Chen’s attack, everyone saw the Three Thousand Star Clusters emitting a dazzling, blue light that pierced Situ Yao’s heart. It had moved so fast that not even Situ Yao could avoid it. His body fell onto the ground and rolled a few times before it stopped. Blood pooled under his corpse, and he no longer moved.

But Situ Yao’s eyes were still wide open even in death.

Everyone was speechless when they saw what had happened. No one dared to speak, especially the regular cultivators who had scurried here hoping that they would get some scraps while the Demon and Thunder clans were fighting.

As for the Thunder clan, each and every one of them was in awe when they witnessed the strength of Long Chen and the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord. They didn’t think of anything else since the Thunder Elders were in charge of the situation.

The Demon clan members were overcome with fear after seeing one of their Sect Elders get killed, especially the other Sect Elders. They had worked with Situ Yao for many years, but now both he and his grandson had been killed by Long Chen. The Situ family was done for.

Long Chen held onto the Three Thousand Star Clusters and glared at everyone.

He looked at the Demon clan and saw that they were glaring back.

“Long Chen, how dare you kill a Sect Elder of the Demon clan! You are supposed to be the Patriarch’s son-in-law! It’s a grave sin to kill someone from the same clan!”

“That’s right! Someone as cruel as you must be punished!”

“Patriarch, you cannot forgive Long Chen! He’s extremely vicious, and we demand justice! The Situ family has contributed a lot to the Demon clan, but now the two most important people in their family are dead! We will not tolerate it if you let him go!”

Everyone started shouting, including some of the Sect Elders who were trapped.

Bai Lan was still calm. No matter how loudly they complained, he never once looked at them. Instead, he was looking at Long Chen with eyes full of approval. He was waiting to see what Long Chen would do to the Seven Thunder Elders.

Long Chen faced the Demon clan and said, “Are you all still clueless as to what’s going on? You are being imprisoned. You should be trying to get out rather than thinking about me.”

After looking around, he continued, “I’m sure everyone here is an adult. Can’t you see what is happening? Situ Yu and Situ Yao wanted to take my life! I merely paid back the favor! The Situ family wanted to steal what is mine, so they were naturally prepared to die if they failed! You guys are the same! If you want to take my stuff, come and fight me. Can you be considered real men if all you do is complain to the patriarch? Don’t you know how shameless you’re being?”

Long Chen’s taunt was effective, leaving the Demon clan members embarrassed. None of them could retort because this was indeed the law of the jungle. Situ Yu and Situ Yao wanted to kill Long Chen, but because they were weaker, they were killed instead. Although Long Chen was ruthless, he was right.

The other Sect Elders stared at each other, unable to come up with a response.

Long Chen and Situ Yao’s fight had lasted less than ten breaths. The Thunder Elders didn’t have time on their side. While they were wary of Long Chen, their greed spiked when they saw the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

The stronger Long Chen was, the more they wanted the inheritance. After Long Chen finished talking to the Demon clan, the Thunder Elders surrounded him. All seven of them were at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, while Long Chen was only at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage.

Even someone at the First Heavenly Martial Stage would have to be careful in this scenario, much less Long Chen. Seven cultivators at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage was an incredible fighting power anywhere in the Ten Thousand Nation Territories. The Divine Martial Empire did not have even one person of that caliber. In fact, the Divine Martial Empire couldn’t even produce someone at the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage.

Long Chen had to face all seven of them at the same time.

“Long Chen, be careful...” Both Suxue and Suyan were crying now. While they were shocked by how strong Long Chen was, it was useless now. The Ninth Earthly Martial Stage elders were the strongest members of the Thunder clan when Lei Ji wasn’t being counted.

“Father, can’t you force this Thunder Prison open?” Suyan was panicking.

“Yan’er, be calm. What are you worried about? I assure you that Long Chen will be alright.” Bai Lan smiled and patted Suyan’s head.

Suyan nodded.

Even Lei Ji didn’t know how strong Bai Lan was.

“Hey, you can open the Thunder Prison, right?” Only someone at the Heavenly Martial Realm could understand the strength of their peers. The Thunder Elders had underestimated Bai Lan’s strength, but Lei Ji wouldn’t make the same mistake. He knew how terrifying Bai Lan was.

“Who said that?” Bai Lan chuckled.

Just then, Long Chen held up the Three Thousand Star Clusters when he saw the Thunder Elders closing in on him. He was calm like Bai Lan. Wisps of celestial Qi emerged from the Three Thousand Star Clusters and wrapped around it, displaying its fangs and claws like a beast. The cold air forced the Thunder Elders to step back.
