War God Long Ao

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Devouring the Firmament

Kyushu Spirit Realm, Third Level Long Family, Main Hall.

"Sect Leader, are we really going to move against Long Ao?"

"I have no reason not to."

Sighing deeply, Long Yan truly couldn’t understand what was wrong with the Patriarch this time. They could have reaped the benefits while others fought, yet he insisted on making a move now.

"Sect Leader, forgive my bluntness, but the Dragon Sect has the help of a Great Emperor Martial Artist. If we rashly move against Long Ao and provoke this Great Emperor Martial Artist, the consequences will be unimaginable."

A Great Emperor Martial Artist.

Hearing those three words, Long Mowen also sighed deeply. To this day, no one knew where this Great Emperor Martial Artist of the Dragon Sect had come from.

"Elder, I know what you mean, but have you considered Long Ao’s talent and potential? A year from now, no one can guarantee what level he will reach. Therefore, we must cut down the weeds and dig up the roots, eliminating this problem for good."

The thought of Long Ao’s meteoric rise made Long Mowen’s heart clench violently.

It was precisely for this reason that Long Mowen dared not imagine how powerful Long Ao would become in a year. No one knew.

Faced with this uncertainty, Long Mowen had no choice but to agree to Piaomiao Palace’s proposal, continuing to join forces with the Imperial City and the Netherworld Mansion to deal with the so-called Long Ao.

Long Mowen said no more, for the matter was already decided.

「Three days later.」

The Netherworld Mansion, the Third Level Long Family, and the Imperial City joined forces. This time, to completely crush the City of Sin, each of the three powers dispatched one Semi-Saint and three Realm Emperors.

In other words, the three powers had sent a total of three Semi-Saints and nine Realm Emperors to annihilate the City of Sin.

Everyone knew that Long Ao was the leader of the City of Sin. Compared to the City of Sin, the Dragon Sect was practically nothing, which was why the three powers chose to target the City of Sin instead of the so-called Dragon Sect.

In the Kyushu Spirit Realm.

The City of Sin was very famous; even the Four Great Forces were wary of it.

However, the City of Sin could not truly contend with the Four Great Forces. Even so, the three Semi-Saints and nine Realm Emperors did not attack the City of Sin directly, instead stopping at its perimeter.

The Dark Forest.

While continuously slaying Spirit Beasts, Long Ao suddenly received a message from his two Semi-Saints.

He wasn’t the least bit surprised. He had long guessed that Piaomiao Palace wouldn’t let the matter rest. ’Even with our one-year agreement, I’m sure they’d invite the other three great powers to deal with me.’

Long Ao had originally thought that even if Piaomiao Palace extended an invitation, the Imperial City, the Third Level Long Family, and the Netherworld Mansion might not necessarily agree. ’If it were me, I absolutely wouldn’t have agreed. I’d have sat back and reaped the benefits while others fought.’

He gave a helpless smile. ’Looks like I still underestimated Piaomiao Palace,’ Long Ao thought.

Since the three powers had arrived, Long Ao didn’t remain in the Dark Forest. He left with Long Qiang and Long Ming, heading quickly toward the City of Sin.

City of Sin, City Lord’s Mansion.

"You two, what’s the situation?"

Luo Tian and Zhou Chen both wore grave expressions. Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Sect Leader, the Third Level Long Family, the Netherworld Mansion, and the Imperial City have sent a total of three Semi-Saints and nine Realm Emperors. If they all rush in at once, it will be difficult for us to resist."

Waving his hand, Long Ao didn’t seem worried in the slightest. He smiled and said, "We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. It’s only three Semi-Saints and nine Realm Emperors. Let me ask you, in a direct confrontation, what are your odds, the two of you against their three?"

"Sect Leader, you overestimate us. In a one-on-one fight, we might stand a chance, but two against three? We have no confidence at all."

He nodded. Long Ao had already expected this. ’The biggest problem now is that they have three Semi-Saints, while I only have two. As for the nine Realm Emperors, they’re nothing to worry about. I don’t even need anyone else; Long Qiang and Long Ming can easily take care of all nine of them.’

’What should I do about the last Semi-Saint Martial Artist?’

Long Ao lowered his head, lost in thought. Luo Tian and Zhou Chen didn’t dare disturb him. For a moment, the entire hall was silent, with no one speaking, only the sound of heavy breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, Long Ao suddenly said, "You two go out and scout the situation first. I’ll think of a way."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

After the two left, Long Ao’s expression grew grave. ’No matter how you look at it, the three powers have an extra Semi-Saint Martial Artist. With my current strength, whether or not I can kill a Semi-Saint Martial Artist is still an unknown.’

Long Ao knew very well in his heart that although a Semi-Saint Martial Artist and a warrior at the Peak of Realm Emperor were only one Tier apart, the gap between them was as wide as heaven and earth.

’A summons from Long Fu?’

Long Ao was puzzled, wondering why Long Fu would summon him at a time like this.

"Long Fu, did you need me for something?"

Inside the Dragon Seal Space, Long Ao seemed anxious and got straight to the point.

Nodding, Long Fu said, "Master, with your current strength, you are unrivaled within the Void Realm. But if you encounter a Void Saint Martial Artist, or even a Semi-Saint Martial Artist, you are no match for them."

"You have a way?"

Long Ao was no fool. He knew that if Long Fu was saying this, he must have a way for him to kill a Semi-Saint.

Sure enough, Long Fu continued, "Master, you are now able to use all of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques I taught you. Now, if you can combine the eight techniques into one to form the Blood-Drinking Saber, that single strike will be absolutely world-shaking."

’Combine the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques into one?’

Long Ao was stunned. He never would have thought that the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques could actually be combined into one.

The Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques were: the first technique, Netherworld Nine-Link Strike; the second, Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer; the third, Sea of Blazing Flames; the fourth, World-Ending Blade Aura; the fifth, Ten Thousand Bones Soul Devourer; the sixth, Meteor Burst Shattering; the seventh, Tearing Heaven and Earth; and the eighth, Sword Breaks the Firmament.

"Eight techniques in one: Devouring the Firmament."

Eight techniques in one, Devouring the Firmament. Long Ao was filled with anticipation for this so-called fusion of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques. He immediately began practicing them. It sounded incredibly simple, but in reality, it was fraught with difficulty.

Long Ao continuously executed the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques—the Netherworld Nine-Link Strike, the Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer, the Sea of Blazing Flames, the World-Ending Blade Aura, the Ten Thousand Bones Soul Devourer, the Meteor Burst Shattering, the Tearing Heaven and Earth, and the Sword Breaks the Firmament—one after another, attempting to fuse all eight techniques.

Just like that, Long Ao kept trying to fuse the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques on the training grounds. Before he knew it, dusk had fallen.

The three Semi-Saints and nine Realm Emperors from the three great forces—the Imperial City, the Third Level Long Family, and the Netherworld Mansion—seemed to grow impatient with waiting and charged directly into the City of Sin. But to the surprise of the twelve of them, the usually bustling City of Sin had suddenly become utterly deserted, as if it had descended into Hell.
