Chapter 7241 Opening

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off-guard. One slap had sent the black-robed man flying back, and even his manifestation flew back with him!

“How is that possible?!”

Startled cries rang out. Although the black-robed man had dispersed his formation, his domain was still present. How could Long Chen possibly charge into his domain and slap him? All of their power combined had been nothing but a joke in front of this domain; it had been dispersed like nothing. Entering his domain and attacking him from there did not even cross their minds.

Yet as the sound of that slap continued to echo through heaven and earth, everyone could only listen in astonishment. No one knew how Long Chen had managed to slip into the black-robed man’s domain without him instantly sensing it.

This slap fully ignited the latter’s rage. The manifestation behind him burst into flames, and his Grand Dao power fluctuated wildly.

“You dare to blaspheme the great Dark Son?! I will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death!” he howled.

BOOM!

That giant manifestation suddenly blew apart, and its energy transformed into two wings on the Dark Son’s back. One wing was black and the other violet, and Grand Dao runes burned on top of them. His aura was now completely suffocating.

In this state, his power was several times greater. With a mere flap of his wings, he instantly threw the laws of the world into chaos. All order was lost.

The speed of these wings was so great it appeared more like teleportation. By the time people reacted, he was already in front of Long Chen, and his claw-like fingers were reaching for Long Chen’s throat.

By the time people cried out in shock, however, Long Chen’s hand had already slapped him in the face once more.

This time, the slap was not just resounding, but also tremendously powerful, backed by Long Chen’s astral energy. The Dark Son went flying like a cannonball; space shattered ahead of him like ice, and the black trail of broken space he left in his wake was horrifying.

“What, is this all? I expected more from a Dark Son!”

Long Chen waved his hand a few times, as if to shake off some non-existent dirt. This had actually been a full-power slap, and as a result, the Grand Dao power caused a backlash that left it a bit numb. He had no choice but to admit that a Dark Son in control of two types of Grand Dao power was truly something.

“You are too arrogant!” A furious roar shook the heavens. The bloodied Dark Son came charging out of space and once more appeared in front of Long Chen. A giant palm with two kinds of terrifying laws powering it slammed towards Long Chen, and the space around Long Chen was completely sealed once more.

“What nonsensical truths are you spouting?” Long Chen raised a single finger. Starlight flickered on top of his fingertip, and golden light mixed into the starlight.

Long Chen was mobilizing the power of the Golden Virtue Lotus—or, rather, his Grand Dao seed. After all, an attack containing the power of the Grand Dao couldn’t be countered with just astral energy. He had to use his own Grand Dao power.

BOOM!

That giant palm was like a balloon striking the tip of a needle. Before anyone could even react to how Long Chen had effortlessly countered this attack, they heard the sound of another slap, and the Dark Son’s figure once more went flying.

“Don’t think that I won’t slap you just because you praised me!”

Countless people gulped. Someone as powerful as the Dark Son was being utterly humiliated by Long Chen! The first three exchanges all ended with slaps in the face. Let alone a Dark Son, even an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to endure such a thing! Moreover, Long Chen’s words were also lethal. They could definitely enrage anyone to death.

People looked at the terrifying Dark Son. His face was covered in blood. Without even realizing it, they were even beginning to feel a little bit of sympathy for him!

However, those who felt that sympathy immediately squashed it. They couldn’t help being shocked by this feeling. Didn’t people feel sympathy for the weak? Did that mean that they felt that this terrifying Dark Son was weak compared to Long Chen?

“Is your head spinning?” Long Chen eyed the Dark Son, whose face was twisted like a ghoul’s. He smirked. “Someone on your level can become a Dark Son? It seems that the Dark Master’s line has really declined!”

“You dare blaspheme the Dark Master?! You must die a thousand deaths!” roared the Dark Son. He swung his hand through the air, and runic swords filled with Grand Dao power condensed and shot towards Long Chen.

Yet in front of these mighty runic swords, Long Chen simply strolled forward, dodging them effortlessly. It truly appeared as if he was taking a casual walk, and as he moved, he didn’t forget to mock his opponent. “Well, you’re not that bad. In terms of overall power, I’d say you’re just above average among the High Firmament Academy’s eight million elite warriors.”

“Bullshit!” yelled the Dark Son. Like a bolt of lightning, he charged into his own torrent of swords. He passed through them without even touching them and launched more attacks at Long Chen.

But Long Chen continued to dodge the attacks. He indifferently said, “Well, that means within the same realm, there are about three million people who can kill you one-on-one. As for the eight Flag Bearers, you wouldn’t last more than ten moves against any one of them!”

Long Chen’s words were like poison arrows stabbing into the Dark Son’s heart. He had never suffered such humiliation in all his life. Although he knew that Long Chen was just trying to anger him, he still couldn’t contain the flames of fury rising within him.

“I’m not even saying ‘your power is above average’ because the power you control isn’t even your own. You are only a puppet that the Dark Master raised. Others can never perfectly control the Dark Master’s power, yet you’re trying to control two types of Grand Dao power apart from it! Furthermore, you thought yourself clever enough to merge these two Grand Dao powers. You bound the two of them together with the Dark Master’s faith energy. In terms of aura, it really does look frightening. But the truth is that you are only courting death!”

BOOM!

Long Chen suddenly shot into motion. His astral gates ignited, and brilliant light illuminated the sky.

“Heavens!”

Startled cries suddenly rang out. At this time, they could see countless Grand Dao chains in the air. Some were black and some were violet, and they were all pulling at each other in a messy entanglement. This was something that they weren’t capable of seeing normally, but Long Chen’s starlight was showing them the clashing Grand Dao power.

“Heavens, there are so many holes in his domain!” Only now did people realize how Long Chen had managed to take advantage of the Dark Son. He was able to see the weak points of this domain.

The Dark Son was also stunned by this revelation. He was naturally aware that merging two types of Grand Dao power was not something that could be done casually, but even he had not realized how fiercely they were actually clashing.

Just as he stood there, dazed, a hand mercilessly slapped him in the face once more, and a concerned voice rang out.

“Hey, you can’t get distracted in the middle of battle! Concentrate!”
