Chapter 6166 Four Cardinal Alliance’s Cui Hao

“What do we do? How can we help them?!” The mixed beast race’s patriarchs were in a panic, but they lacked the power to intervene.

Yet, even facing this many experts, Long Chen remained completely indifferent. He didn’t appear the least bit nervous.

“Long Chen, face your death!”

Following the shout of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race’s elder, all the Sovereign Lords unleashed their power on Long Chen.

He had to face hundreds of third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords and above, as well as thousands of other Sovereign Lords. Their combined might was enough to crush any mid-stage Sovereign Lord. Even a peak sixth Heavenstage expert would be overwhelmed.

Long Chen’s domain was slowly shrinking in front of their terrifying pressure, going from thirty meters wide to just three meters.

But as it shrank, its power soared. Even against the pressure of this many Sovereign Lords, it remained solid.

That sight caused everyone’s expressions to darken.

“So the larger the domain, the more its power disperses. A smaller domain concentrates power, but also consumes Spiritual Strength more rapidly. I see,” Long Chen muttered.

Through this test, Long Chen learned more about his spiritual domain.

His earlier assumption had been that a larger domain would drain more energy. But surprisingly, it was quite the opposite.

A larger domain with scattered power actually exhausted less energy than a smaller but highly concentrated domain. This small domain was draining Long Chen’s energy rapidly.

Three meters, it seemed, was the current limit of what Long Chen could maintain. Any smaller, and the domain would destabilize. He could even blow himself up.

Despite the full combined pressure of so many attacks, Long Chen’s smaller domain held firm. Seeing this, the Sovereign Lords grew increasingly uneasy.

They realized that if they failed to kill Long Chen here and now, they would never have peace. Long Chen was someone who never forgot a grudge.

“Human Emperor disciples, attack the mixed beast race’s ancestral land! Don’t worry! The mixed beast race lacks the resources to pose any real threat! Even their Sovereign Lords can’t stop you! Move!” shouted an elder from the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race.

“Kill!”

Roars rang out as the Human Emperors charged the valley. Among them were many divine sprouts, and at least ten were comparable to Jiang Zihao.

The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race even had a divine sprout with seventy-three Sovereign flames.

Tens of thousands of experts launched an all-out assault on the barrier, battering it with Sovereign weapons. The barrier trembled violently under their attacks.

“Damnit, they’re afraid…” Feng You spat through gritted teeth.

Now that panic had set in, they were resorting to distraction tactics. Once the barrier broke, there would be a bloodbath. It was a calculated move to distract Long Chen’s attention.

Unexpectedly, while everyone else was participating in the battle, one person stood far away, not daring to move.

That person was Jiang Zihao.

He looked at Long Chen’s figure within the domain and thought several times about attacking, but couldn’t bring himself to do it.

He had a bone-deep premonition: if he joined in, the moment Long Chen escaped, he’d be the first to die. His primal fear ultimately made him give up.

Seeing this, Long Chen smiled.

At least, this brat isn’t completely brainless. He’ll live.

Then, he slowly raised a hand and formed a seal. In the next instant, endless petals erupted from his body. His domain expanded outward, and the domains of all the attacking Sovereign Lords shattered like glass.

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked. Their combined suppression had failed?

“Run!”

The realization struck them too late. Countless petals swept through the air like reapers’ blades, slicing through Sovereign armor and divine artifacts alike. Sovereign blood rained throughout the heavens.

“No!”

“I don’t want to die!”

“Master Long Chen, spare me…”

“Please!”

Cries of terror filled the air—but only death answered.

Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the petals vanished.

In their place were broken limbs and shattered weapons raining down to the earth. It was a hellish scene.

Jiang Zihao was shaking uncontrollably. His entire body was drenched in blood, and even his face was soaked. But he couldn’t even lift a hand to wipe it off. Madness crept into his eyes.

Even Feng You was dazed by what she saw. The iron scent of blood hit her like a wave, overwhelming her. She turned and vomited.

With a wave of his hand, the blood and broken corpses disappeared in an instant.

Long Chen said, “Jiang Zihao.”

Jiang Zihao nearly jumped out of his skin.

“D-Disciple is present!” he stammered.

“Go back and ask Feng Fei and Jiang Yue’e how they’re doing—on my behalf.”

“Yes!”

Jiang Zihao shakily bowed to Long Chen, retreated a few steps, and finally fled for his life.

Once Jiang Zihao was gone, Long Chen said, “Friend, you’ve been watching for a long time. It’s time to show yourself, don’t you think?”

Just as the mixed beast race’s experts were about to deactivate the barrier, they froze at Long Chen’s words.

However, there was no response.

Long Chen snorted.

Suddenly, the void exploded, like an invisible hand had torn it open. A calm voice rang out.

“As expected of the human race’s number one expert. You saw through junior brother’s concealment. Truly admirable.”

A young man in his twenties stepped out. He wore blue robes and had a scholarly air. He then cupped his fists in greeting.

“The Four Cardinal Alliance’s Cui Hao greets Brother Long.”

“The Four Cardinal Alliance?” Long Chen asked, raising a brow.

Long Chen was particularly surprised to sense how strong this man was. If he hadn’t unleashed his domain at full force, causing widespread spatial disturbance, he wouldn’t have detected this person.

“I didn’t expect the Four Cardinal Alliance to have a hundred-flame divine sprout. My apologies for the rudeness,” Long Chen said, returning the greeting.

The mixed beast race’s expressions changed. A hundred-flame divine sprout was the stuff of legends. They could form a domain even at the Human Emperor realm, giving them power comparable to Long Chen.

The Four Cardinal Alliance was well known, but they had never interacted with the mixed beast race before. For their hundred-flame divine sprout to appear, it instantly caused the mixed beast race’s experts to tense up. Could he be here for the Sovereign Source as well?

Sensing their tension, Cui Hao comforted, “Everyone, please don’t worry. With Brother Long here, who would dare have designs on the Sovereign Source? I’ve come not to fight… but to invite the mixed beast race to join me and the Four Cardinal Alliance.”
