Dragon War God

Chapter 786 – Mid-Battle Breakthrough

Long Chen had taken many risks and suffered endlessly to achieve his current level.

The crowd laughed when they saw Long Chen’s reaction. Long Chen was starting to shine.

The people on Situ Yu’s side were infuriated.

Situ Yu was the most embarrassed one. Previously, he had said many brazen and arrogant things. When he recalled the things he had said, it was like a slap to his face. Although his finger had a minor injury, his face hurt more.

You’re looking for death! You’re just relying on the Seven Star Body! The Seven Star Lord’s inheritance will be mine soon! Situ Yu screamed in his heart. Then he roared and charged at Long Chen with fury. Since the advanced King-tier combat technique was useless, he decided to use his Emperor-tier technique. He wanted to give Long Chen a taste of failure and suffering!

“Heavenly Demon Manual!”

When he charged forward, a black tornado formed next to him. He was wrapped in the pitch-black tornado, which roared and turned into a gigantic beast that pounced on Long Chen!

“Heavenly Demon Dance!” The Heavenly Demon Manual contained an Emperor-tier body combat technique. Situ Yu had turned into layers of demonic illusions, so even Long Chen could not see where his actual body was!

An Emperor-tier body combat technique could never be simple. From the crowd’s perspective, the whole stage was filled with clones of Situ Yu. They could not see Long Chen at all.

However, body combat techniques like that were not effective on Long Chen because he had the Soul Swallowing Gaze. Nothing could escape Long Chen’s eyes when he used this technique!

The moment he activated Soul Swallowing Gaze, Long Chen saw Situ Yu’s actual body zipping through the air. He was moving in a circular path to attack Long Chen from behind. The corners of Long Chen’s mouth curved up into a smirk. A golden ray appeared in his right palm.

“Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal!” Long Chen launched this attack behind himself. A gigantic golden emperor seal flew towards his back, coincidentally where Situ Yu was.

Boom, boom!

There were sounds of explosions. Situ Yu was initially preparing to attack Long Chen, but he never expected Long Chen to find him. Long Chen’s Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal brought with it immense ice-cold power, and such power surely meant it was an Emperor-tier combat technique. Situ Yu did not dare act recklessly in front of an Emperor-tier technique.

“Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist, First Transformation Wind!”

At the last second, Situ Yu could only use the Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist’s first technique on Long Chen. Tens of thousands of demonic shadows came from his fist. Within that small space, groups of demons roared and shot out with one punch, colliding with Long Chen’s Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal!

Both attacks had their own strengths. Long Chen had good timing, which forced Situ Yu to react quickly and clumsily. However, Situ Yu had more essence!

The Emperor-tier combat techniques collided, causing Heavenly Wood City to tremble for a moment. There was an explosion, and both parties flew backwards. Long Chen had been hit harder, so he flew more than twenty meters back before finally stabilizing himself after stumbling for a while. He was almost rolling on the ground.

Although Situ Yu had reacted in panic, he managed to stabilize himself!

What shocked Situ Yu most from this exchange was the fact that Long Chen knew where he was! He was confident that his Heavenly Demon Dance had been executed perfectly.

He’s a lucky bastard! He hit me even with a random guess. But you’re not going to be lucky again!

After the exchange, Situ Yu figured out Long Chen’s true strength. He knew that in a normal battle, Long Chen would never be a match for him, which excited him.

To be honest, Situ Yu was indeed an opponent who was difficult to beat. Long Chen had sustained minor injuries. His Ninth Earthly Martial Stage opponent’s attack had made his blood and Qi surge unstably, and his whole body felt terrible. He struggled to finally stabilize his vitals, but Situ Yu laughed maniacally once more and charged at him!

Since the beginning of the battle, Situ Yu was the one who attacked first!

Long Chen sensed that the gap between them was just too big. He had not used his double seal combo yet, but he knew that it wouldn’t be enough to kill Situ Yu.

Therefore, he needed a breakthrough.

Or he would lose today.

With that thought, Long Chen took a deep breath. He sank his mind into the Primordial Realm and studied the Martial God Tombstone’s Seventh Earthly Martial Stage punching routine. He had almost completed it, but due to the lack of time, he had been forced to stop cultivating for the duel.

Who said I can’t study the Martial God Tombstone in battle?

If other people knew what he was doing, they would be shocked. This brat was just too talented. Although he was fighting an opponent who was far stronger than himself, he still could devote part of his attention to studying the Martial God Tombstone.

In my current state, I will only be strong enough to defeat Situ Yu if I use Blood Sacrifice. But I can’t use it, so the Martial God Tombstone is my only chance!

Long Chen’s gaze darkened. Situ Yu was charging, ready to kill him in one strike and snatch the Three Thousand Star Clusters away immediately. As long as the weapon recognized Situ Yu as its master, even Bai Lan would not be able to say anything, because the eight Sect Masters would protect him.

Half of Long Chen’s mind was deep in the Primordial Realm, while the other half was watching Situ Yu. In the Martial God Tombstone, the human silhouette’s punching routine slowly mirrored Situ Yu’s punches!

“Die!” Situ Yu used the first move of the Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist once more!

“Big Dipper Step!” A large star plate appeared on the stage, glowing with golden runes. When Situ Yu’s powerful Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist caused the whole stage to tremble, Long Chen had already appeared on another star dot on the star plate. His sheer speed shocked everyone.

Even Situ Yu was stunned.

“That’s the Big Dipper Step?”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s the Seven Star Body or the Big Dipper Step. They’re all extraordinary. Long Chen is too lucky to have gotten these.”

“Does he want to continue dodging like that?”

After dodging Situ Yu’s attack for the first time, Long Chen continued doing the same thing. He did not attack even once. The crowd watched as Situ Yu chased after Long Chen angrily, insulting and mocking him. He wanted to punch Long Chen just once to kill him, but to his fury, Long Chen always dodged just in time!

While he was dodging using the Big Dipper Step, Long Chen was studying the Martial God Tombstone. At the same time, he was observing Situ Yu’s punching routine. Regardless of their conflict, Situ Yu was a Ninth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator, and the profoundness in his every punch helped Long Chen greatly.

As time passed, the bit of doubt in his mind quickly cleared.

If he was studying the Martial God Tombstone under normal circumstances, he would have needed several days. However, due to the urgency of the situation and the help of Situ Yu’s attacks, Long Chen was able to comprehend it far more quickly!

Situ Yu missed Long Chen several consecutive times and was forced to chase him in circles, causing the crowd to burst into laughter. Situ Yu could not stand this any longer. He suddenly halted, then he used the Heavenly Demon Dance in Long Chen’s direction, allowing him to instantly arrive in front of Long Chen!

“Let’s end this now!” Situ Yu roared furiously. A black tornado wrapped around him, along with a violent, powerful energy. Countless demonic illusions appeared around him, spinning!

“Heavenly Demon Punch, Tribulation of Three Lifetimes!”

This was the second move of the Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist. There were three total moves, but Situ Yu only knew the first two. He had just reached the ninth Earthly Martial Stage, and it was likely that he would only be able to comprehend the last move after reaching the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Situ Yu sent out three Fist Seals, which were condensed with countless demonic shadows. They flew at Long Chen from three directions. Situ Yu’s Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist had completely surpassed Feng Zhilin’s Thousand Seals.

And Long Chen did not have any support from Blood Sacrifice right now!

When Situ Yu used the Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist, the silhouette in Long Chen’s Primordial Realm reached the final point of the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage punching demonstration!

Then it retracted its fist!

When the silhouette retracted its fist, Situ Yu punched. When he saw one punch while the other retracted its fist, Long Chen had a sudden bout of realization. He felt like an obstruction in his mind had suddenly been cleared. This refreshing feeling made his Martial Soul strengthen immensely!

The profoundness of the Martial God Tombstone’s teaching plus the pressure from Situ Yu’s battle had led to Long Chen reaching the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage mid-battle!

However, at this critical moment, Situ Yu’s Emperor-tier combat technique was already flying at him!

Long Chen had frozen for a brief moment when he made his breakthrough, so he could n’t dodge the attack using the Big Dipper Step. Long Chen had no choice. He understood that everything came at a price. He had reached the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage mid-battle, but the price was being unable to dodge Situ Yu’s attack.
