Chapter 819 - Gold Wheel of Annihilation

“You coward! Long Chen, are you out of tricks? Why are you only dodging?”

“Yeah! Don’t tell me that you’ve lost all of your strength. To think that he’s too cowardly to face Big Brother Jin Ling! He just keeps dodging!”

“Long Chen is a sly one. Using your brain during a battle is a good thing. Only an idiot would fight head-on.”

The crowd chattered and discussed until the patriarch of the Gold clan ordered them to be silent and watch the fight closely.

“Bring out the Three Thousand Star Clusters! You won’t be able to avoid all of my attacks with just your Big Dipper Step!” Jin Ling’s hoarse voice came from underground as he continued his assault. The ground and mountain shook as attacks were launched relentlessly. A cloud of dust obscured both Jin Ling and Long Chen, making it hard for the others to see them.

Long Chen did not reply.

“Precursor Light!”

Jin Ling condensed all of his energy onto his fingertips. His copper fingers turned golden when he used the Gold clan’s famous Emperor-tier martial technique. The technique was renowned for being very fast. Long Chen had never seen a technique that fast before. The Precursor Light arrived in front of Long Chen an instant after it lit up.

“Not bad...”

Long Chen used the Big Dipper Step once again, but he increased his speed to the maximum. The Precursor Light was too fast for him, so he had to create some distance between himself and Jin Ling. On top of that, he had to tilt his head. The golden light just barely missed the side of his head before it shot away.

One false move and Long Chen’s head would’ve been gone.

It was a terrifying moment that had lasted a few breaths.

Long Chen was surprised when he found out how much destructive energy the little light contained. Even though it had missed him, it had left a wound on the side of Long Chen’s face.

But Long Chen controlled his blood so that it wasn’t flowing out. His regeneration healed the wound in no time.

The Precursor Light that had missed him exploded behind him. The energy swept him forward, directly towards Jin Ling!

“Die!” Jin Ling had been planning for that all along!

He could control the Precursor Light so well that even if it didn’t hit the target, he could cause it to explode and push Long Chen towards him while disabling Long Chen’s Big Dipper Step for a moment.

“Golden Eye of Annihilation, Gold Wheel of Annihilation!”

Long Chen had heard that Jin Ling’s Golden Eye of Annihilation had grown to another level. He saw that Jin Ling’s eyes were covered in thick, golden runes of light. The two lights condensed swiftly in front of his eyes before forming a golden wheel. The wheel was made out of the energy of the Golden Eye of Annihilation, and yet it resembled a real wheel with its sharp edges! The sharp knife-like edge glimmered with a dangerous golden light.

The Gold Wheel of Annihilation flew towards Long Chen!

Rumble!

As it rolled forward, the Gold Wheel of Annihilation grew larger like a meat grinder. It rolled forward so fast that it threatened to envelop Long Chen. In just a few breaths, the Gold Wheel of Annihilation would turn him into mince meat!

Both the Golden Combat Body and the Golden Eye of Annihilation were techniques passed down by the Gold clan’s patriarch. Only those with his bloodline could use it, just like the Wind clan’s Three Thousand Illusion. The Wind Dagger that Feng Zhilin had used was an evolution of the Three Thousand Illusion.

“Long Chen, be careful!” Everyone from the Thunder and Demon clans were worried when they saw Long Chen being pushed forward by the explosion of Precursor Light into the Gold Wheel of Annihilation. Sucue was extremely worried, and her face turned pale.

Even Bai Lan, who had always been confident in Long Chen’s strength, became worried. He looked at the Long-bearded Guest and was relieved to find that the latter was taking it seriously. The moment Long Chen surrendered, the Long-bearded Guest would be able to save him immediately since he was close by.

Everyone tensed up the moment the Gold Wheel of Annihilation appeared. It was Jin Ling’s strongest attack, and he had used it at the perfect moment.

Everyone was anticipating to see how Long Chen would deal with it.

To the others, the Gold Wheel of Annihilation was an extremely strong technique, but Long Chen didn’t see it as a threat. When the Gold Wheel of Annihilation got close to him, three thousand starlights appeared on his body and condensed in his hands. Everyone gasped when they saw the dazzling spear materialize.

“Gold Wheel of Annihilation?” Long Chen scoffed and channeled his essence into the Three Thousand Star Clusters. The celestial Qi exploded out from his body and wrapped around the spear.

“Scram!” Long Chen swung the Three Thousand Star Cluster horizontally and smacked the Gold Wheel of Annihilation. The spear transformed into a dazzling, blue light.

Boom!

An explosion occurred when the Three Thousand Star Cluster clashed with the Gold Wheel of Annihilation. Everyone was shocked to see Long Chen smacking the Gold Wheel of Annihilation away with just the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

Long Chen was already strong. Combined with his essence and the Three Thousand Star Clusters, the Gold Wheel of Annihilation was smacked aside and its flight path was changed. It almost hit the Long-bearded Guest, but thankfully, he managed to avoid it.

Long Chen’s incredibly strong counterattack made everyone gasp in shock. Everyone from the Five Element Alliance was flabbergasted because they thought the Gold Wheel of Annihilation would destroy Long Chen. No one had expected something like this to happen!

The Three Thousand Star Clusters had smacked away the Gold Wheel of Annihilation!

“He’s just lucky he found the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. He wouldn’t be able to do that with his own strength!”

“That’s right! He’s using the advantage of his Divine Weapon to win against Jin Ling. That doesn’t count!” The younger generation of the Five Element Alliance protested.

“Quiet!” Luck was part of a person’s strength. It was embarrassing for them to say that, so the patriarchs of the Five Element Alliance told them to be quiet.

The Wind clan and the Divine clan, however, were still discussing what they had seen. Feng Qing frowned. “Long Chen might not be a simple opponent. I think Wu Guangyu will be able to fight him in the end.”

Wu Lian disagreed. “I doubt that. Jin Ling is still standing. The Gold clan’s patriarch should’ve given him some treasures, since this is an important tournament for them. Long Chen might be the one who loses here.”

Feng Zhilin interjected, “If Wu Guangyu meets Long Chen in the finals, please kill him and take the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. Long Chen is a despicable man; he doesn’t deserve it.”

Wu Guangyu and the others looked at her. “It seems that your hatred towards him isn’t normal.”

Feng Qing explained, “Of course. The Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance were supposed to be hers, but Long Chen stole them. He even beat her up in the ruins ...”

“Zhilin, were you hurt?” Wu Guangyu was shocked because he had never heard that before.

Feng Zhilin touched her chest instinctively. Even though it had healed, it still bothered her every time she looked at it. She kept thinking about Long Chen, and it affected her cultivation. She could only progress peacefully after she killed him.

“No, I’m not hurt.”

The more concern Wu Guangyu showed her, the colder her replies became. It was her pride. She wasn’t the strongest youth in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, but she could still make the strongest youth bow down to her.

As they conversed, Long Chen and Jin Ling continued to clash. When Long Chen took out his Three Thousand Star Cluster, the battle became more intense. Jin Ling had seized the initiative at the start, but now it was Long Chen’s turn. Jin Ling was forced back by the incredible force generated by the Three Thousand Star Clusters!

It’s time to reveal it! Facing Long Chen’s incredible strength, Jin Ling had no choice but to admit that Long Chen was a formidable foe. He didn’t want to reveal his trump card, but he was left with no choice now.

It was something the Gold clan’s patriarch had left for him, and also something he had intended to use against Wu Guangyu. However, he had to use it if he wanted to defeat Long Chen. He was certain that he would lose if he didn’t use it now!

Long Chen was supposed to be at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage, but he somehow had as much essence as someone at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. He also had three different Emperor-tier martial techniques and even the Three Thousand Star Clusters at his disposal!

“You are indeed strong, but you are out of hidden cards! I still have something up my sleeve that you’ve never seen before ...”

Even though he was in danger, Jin Ling showed no hints of panic.
