Chapter 1659: Chapter 1656: Battle with the Heavenly Blade Ancestor!
However, despite his apprehension, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor, having dominated the world for so many years and pushed aside all opposition, wouldn’t be frightened off by a few words.
"Li Chen, enough with the nonsense. You killed my disciples and destroyed my Mountain Sect. Today, I will make you pay with blood!"
The murderous intent in his words still hung in the air when the Heavenly Blade Ancestor soared upward, reaching ten thousand feet high.
Immediately, his figure expanded at a visible speed, stretching his arms like a great golden-winged roc, shadowing the sky and sun.
"Li Chen, come meet your death!"
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor wielded a black Sky Blade, forged from interstellar meteorite iron, and swung it down with a force that seemed to annihilate everything.
The frenzied blade shadow was like a roaring tornado, sending chills down one’s spine.
Even before the blade’s edge reached its target, the domineering blade light had already destroyed mountains, forests, and city walls.
Many cultivators with weaker cultivation, unable to withstand the terrifying blade light due to their proximity, screamed in agony as they were torn to pieces.
Seeing the destructive power of the blade light, he realized that if the battle took place there, it would obliterate everything within millions of miles, turning all life to dust.
With this in mind, Li Chen didn’t hesitate. His figure turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing straight into the Nine Heavens Cloud.
Seeing that Li Chen was startled away by his Heavenly Blade, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor burst into complacent laughter.
"Haha, what an overrated monstrous talent, I see it’s nothing but an undeserved reputation!"
After his triumphant sneer, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor shouted loudly at Li Chen’s departing back.
"Arrogant brat, where do you think you’re going!"
No sooner had he spoken, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor struck the sky, leaving a white streak in the air as he quickly pursued.
Li Chen traversed mountains and rivers, finally choosing a vast forest as the battlefield.
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor, like a maggot clinging to the bone, relentlessly followed Li Chen.
Seeing Li Chen stop, he couldn’t help but taunt.
"Haha, Li Chen, weren’t you running fast? Why have you stopped now?"
Li Chen didn’t directly answer the Heavenly Blade Ancestor but glanced around, saying, "This green mountain and water is an ideal place for a burial!"
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor didn’t expect Li Chen to say such a thing suddenly, catching him off-guard.
Looking at the Heavenly Blade Ancestor, Li Chen continued with a serious expression, "How about it, are you satisfied with the burial site I’ve chosen for you?"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor was immediately enraged.
His eyes burned with fury, and his face contorted into an angry snarl.
"Rascal, stop bragging, come face your death!"
Before his ferocious voice finished echoing through the vast forest, the black Sky Blade in his hand was already tearing through layers of void, obliterating acres of ancient trees, slicing towards Li Chen with an incredible, cutting arc.
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s cultivation had reached the Mid Mahayana Peak Realm, surpassing even God Monarch Yunlong.
Upon realizing this, Li Chen did not dare underestimate him at all.
Otherwise, this carefully chosen auspicious site might turn out to be his own burial ground.
Only to see him swiftly form seals with both hands, creating a golden Protective Gang Qi in the air.
Moreover, as Li Chen rapidly executed his technique, the Golden Gang Qi layered, one upon the other.
In no time, the Golden Gang Qi layered millions of times, illuminating the entire world in a dazzling gold.
"Boom!"
The black blade light, like flowing ink, violently clashed with Li Chen’s extremely yang and firm Golden Gang Qi.
At the moment of contact, it immediately erupted with a thunderous explosion.
The fierce gales raged, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and all sorts of terrifying images played out in this world, one after another.
"Stomp, stomp, stomp!"
"Stomp, stomp, stomp!"
Li Chen and the Heavenly Blade Ancestor were almost simultaneously pushed back.
Their fiercely unstoppable figures each left a long, white trail across the sky, like rivers in the starry expanse.
Seeing his sure-kill strike blocked by Li Chen, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor was utterly astounded, disbelief written all over his face.
At this point, he no longer had any contempt for Li Chen.
Instead, his expression turned grave, unprecedentedly so.
Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, assessing the surrounding ruins in his mind to gauge the power of the Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s strike.
Indeed, not to be underestimated!
Once Li Chen steadied himself, his gaze locked onto the Heavenly Blade Ancestor, and he shouted boldly.
"Again!"
As he spoke, Li Chen directly summoned the Chi Dragon Divine Spear.
To kill ordinary Great Mahayana Masters like the Great Elder, the Seven-star Dragon Abyss sufficed.
But to slay an old monster like the Heavenly Blade Ancestor, he had to use his most formidable divine weapon.
With a shake of his arm, the Chi Dragon Divine Spear surged forward like a roaring tornado.
The spear’s radiance layered and layered, tearing through the surrounding void, making all things in the world fall silent.
Seeing Li Chen thrust such a terrifying spear, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s eyes, cold and sharp as hawks, narrowed tightly.
He was the Heavenly Blade Ancestor, a peerless force feared throughout the land, and he would not retreat in the face of a junior’s spear.
"Perfect timing!"
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor shouted to the heavens, wildly swinging the black Sky Blade again.
The blade light rolled forward like endless waves, layer after layer.
Li Chen’s condensed spear tip gleamed with a golden sheen brighter than gold.
Yet, the unmatched blade light of the Heavenly Blade Ancestor was jet black as ink.
The stark contrast in their colors in the sky made for a vivid comparison.
In that moment, they were like two fierce armies locked in battle, crazily clashing, colliding, shouting.
The intermittent brilliant flashes were akin to splendid fireworks blooming, one after another, incredibly impressive.
In the eye of the whirlpool, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor and Li Chen locked eyes, confronting each other.
Suddenly!
A sinister grin spread across the Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s lips.
Then, reaching into the void, he drew a smaller version of the black Sky Blade from the main blade.
This smaller black Sky Blade, though not as large as the main one, was nearly identical in mass.
Its explosive power in an instant would be even more terrifying!
This was also the Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s tried and true killing move.
Witnessing this scene, Li Chen’s expression instantly turned serious.
It was clear that even he found himself somewhat caught off guard by this unexpected change.
"Li Chen, meet your death!"
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor roared furiously at the sky, the black Sky Blade spinning out a brilliant arc of lightning, heading straight for Li Chen’s Life Gate...
