The threads of light fell, piercing the earth. It formed a heaven and earth encompassing cage. Long Chen felt a sour feeling in his bones. This cage definitely posed a fatal threat to him. Once he was trapped, he would definitely die.
He could no longer bother with finishing his mission. He fled as fast as he could. The cage rapidly closed. Space compressed. Time seemed to freeze.
Long Chen knew that this cage was similar to the Raging Flame Prison. The smaller it shrunk, the greater its power. If he wanted to escape, he had to break free just as it formed.
His lightning wings flapped. He raised his speed to the pinnacle. The black dragons behind him didn't seem to sense the danger and continued to chase after him.
The threads of light closed just as he reached the edge of the cage. Long Chen raised his bone saber. A sharp will erupted. Divine light lit up on his saber. It formed a resonance with the sky.
"Split the Heavens!"
A giant saber-image soared, shattering all laws. It crashed down with a will to destroy heaven and earth.
BOOM!
The threads in front of him broke. A hole appeared. Fragments of spacetime flew through the air. It was as if the world had been destroyed in this area.
Long Chen's face turned red, and he coughed up blood. That attack resulted in a heavy backlash. The majority of his spiritual yuan was also instantly used up.
"As expected, Split the Heavens is difficult to merge with the Heavenly Daos."
Long Chen felt bitter inside. With Luo Zichuan's guidance, Long Chen had comprehended the essence of the Saber Dao, and the principles of the Heavenly Daos. He wanted to recreate the nine forms of Split the Heavens. This new Split the Heavens would be one that merged with the Heavenly Daos before striking.
However, Split the Heavens possessed the will to split apart heaven and earth. It was contrary to the Heavenly Daos. It was like saying that you would borrow something from someone and then hit them with what you had borrowed.
This was quite conflictory. But Long Chen was also quite smart. He compartmentalized the Heavenly Daos' power into two parts. One part was the one that was kind to him, and the other part was the one that hated him.
He was attempting to absorb the power of the Heavenly Daos that favored him in order to strike the part of the Heavenly Daos that detested him. That way it wouldn't just be an all-out indiscriminate attack, sharply reducing its power.
It was a good idea, and he had made progress in this regard. But compartmentalizing the good and bad of the Heavenly Daos was not so easy. Furthermore, it had to be done in an instant. It was almost impossible.
Thus, even as he absorbed the energy from the kind part of the Heavenly Daos, he also absorbed a bit from the other side. While his attack was now several times greater than before, there was still a backlash.
If it wasn't because the Devil Eye Water Lily was so terrifying, he wouldn't have risked using this move. But its power was truly immense. It actually made an opening for him. He charged right out of this cage.
Bai Shishi and the others were delighted to see Long Chen running over. Bai Xiaole immediately sent the black dragon flying over to receive him. As long as they picked him up, they could immediately leave.
However, before Bai Xiaole moved, nine different colors of divine light filled the air. A giant lily appeared. Long Chen had only just escaped the cage when he was devoured by that lily. This scene caused Bai Shishi and the others to cry out in shock.
Long Chen also hadn't expected the Devil Eye Water Lily to set up a trap for him. The nine-colored lily seemed to have been waiting for him.
Space was sealed. Long Chen lost his sense of perception. In that instant, it felt like he had fallen into a bottomless hell.
An eye appeared behind him. A nine-colored pupil emitted endless killing intent as it glared at him.
Long Chen suddenly noticed that he couldn't move at all with this eye staring at him. Icy-cold chills filled him from head to die.
At some unknown point, flower stamens that were as thin as threads had bound his entire body. They had thorns that stabbed his body.
Even his dragon scales were unable to stop them. A curious energy invaded his body, causing him to lose his perception.
Long Chen was appalled. This Devil Eye Water Lily was too terrifying. Even after losing its seed bad, it still possessed the power to easily kill him.
Long Chen estimated that after losing its seed bod, the Devil Eye Water Lily had manifested in its true form, using some other part of it as a replacement of the seed pod. It then crazily absorbed the power of heaven and earth, storing it for this attack.
If he had run while the Devil Eye Water Lily was shooting the sword-light, not giving it time to store up energy, perhaps he would have gotten away.
However, due to wanting to accomplish his mission, he had stayed, and now he was caught. The nine-colored lily had folded around him. This was its own separate space cut off from the outside world. It was a bit similar to the primal chaos space. Here, the Devil Eye Water Lily was a supreme king.
"Wait, the primal chaos space…"
Long Chen suddenly had a thought. Just at this moment, the nine-colored devil eye in front of him slowly condensed into a spear that was like a mosquito's mouthpart. It slowly pierced towards Long Chen's head.
"You want to take back your seed pod? Unfortunately, what has entered Boss Long San's hands does not get out!" Long Chen laughed.
Suddenly, the space behind Long Chen shook. Black soil gushed out like a river freed from a dam. It filled this world.
The nine-colored lily trembled. Long Chen felt a burst of power, and he was sent flying out. Black soil filled the air. He saw the giant lily rapidly shrinking.
"Haha, I also have something terrifying!" Long Chen laughed and flew away. He was swallowed by a black dragon. That was the one that Bai Xiaole was in control of.
"Run!"
As soon as Long Chen entered the flying boat, Bai Xiaole ordered the black dragon to flee. Long Chen spread its divine sense. He saw black qi floating out of the Devil Eye Water Lily. It was shrouding itself in black mist.
Seeing this, Long Chen sighed in relief. This time, he really had managed to flee from the gates of hell.
That Devil Eye Water Lily was truly terrifying. Let alone in its current state that could be considered the Immortal King realm, even if it was in the Divine Lord realm, he wouldn't be a match for it. For an existence on this level, fighting across realms was a joke.
Fortunately, the black soil restrained it. It seemed to be in the midst of expelling poison, trying to expel the energy of the black soil's devouring ability.
Long Chen sighed in relief. When he had fought Liu Ruyan back then, she had possessed a surprising resistance to the black soil.
As for the Devil Eye Water Lily, he didn't know if it was because its resistance to the black soil was simply weaker or if the black soil's power had increased after ascending to the immortal world, but it was actually very effective.
"That was stimulating."
Looking behind him at the countless devil dragons chasing them crazily, Long Chen sighed emotionally.
Jiang Yuhe and the others almost cried.
"Grandpa Long, we still haven't escaped! Those terrifying black dragons are about to catch up! Think of something!"
