War God Long Ao

Blood-Drinking Seventh Technique: Heaven and Earth Rending.

Long Ao fought through the waves of weakness racking his body. Gripping the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber with both hands, he directly broke free of the Double Domain's suppression.

'He broke free?'

The expressions of Du Guanlin and Luo Bing changed drastically, as if they had anticipated something. The two Realm King Martial Artists actually turned to flee, while everyone else stared, dumbfounded, at the scene unfolding before them.

'Is that a Great Venerable Martial Artist?'

A heaven-shocking strike, completely unrivaled.

At that moment, Long Ao stood suspended in the void. His blood-red hair danced wildly, his black robes fluttered, and his expression was grim. A powerful Killing Intent emanated from him, rolling outward like a torrential, unending river.

Like a God of Slaughter descending to deliver a world-shattering blow, Long Ao let out a furious roar. It echoed like rolling thunder, spreading throughout the entire City of Sin.

At that moment, everyone in the City of Sin looked toward the sky. Even those who couldn't see anything turned toward the source of the roar, countless people wondering what was happening.

"Blood Drinking Seventh Technique: Heaven and Earth Rending."

His voice was like a summons from Hell. The Blood-Drinking Mad Saber in Long Ao's hands swung down, unleashing a heaven-shocking Blade Aura that shot forward like a meteor, giving no one a chance to react.

"Long Ao, you..."

The Blade Aura was incredibly fast, accompanied by the sound of rolling thunder that made Heaven and Earth themselves change color. Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

Wherever the Blade Aura passed, space itself was violently torn open, revealing roaring torrents of black energy within. One didn't need to get close; the mere sight of it was enough to make one's scalp tingle with the feeling of being devoured.

It was absolutely stunning.

Torn open by the Blade Aura, the Space Rifts roared furiously and began to indiscriminately devour the surrounding Great Venerable City Guards, one after another.

In the face of the Space Rifts, everyone was utterly insignificant.

Du Guanlin and Luo Bing were utterly terrified, especially as they watched the enormous black hole materialize before them, its countless rifts frantically devouring the Great Venerable City Guards.

Even now, Du Guanlin and Luo Bing simply couldn't comprehend how Long Ao was able to tear space itself apart. 'Could he really be the reincarnation of some powerful expert?'

Du Guanlin and Luo Bing no longer dared to face the attack head-on. 'To hell with pride; surviving is all that matters!' But the Blade Aura was already slashing down.

Giving them no chance to react, space itself devoured them, not even allowing their souls to escape.

Having killed two Realm Kings and more than a dozen Great Venerable Martial Artists with a single strike, Long Ao fought back his internal weakness, turned, and swiftly departed, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

All the surrounding spectators were still reeling in shock, finding it difficult to process what had just happened.

'Space was torn apart?'

News of the power of Long Ao's single strike instantly spread throughout the City of Sin, but eighty-eight percent of the population refused to believe it. 'What a joke. A mere Great Venerable Martial Artist, able to create a Space Rift?'

Long Ao did not remain in the courtyard. He had killed two Realm Kings and twenty Great Venerable Martial Artists in broad daylight. If the Five Great Emperors found out, he knew exactly what the consequences would be.

For that very reason, Long Ao found a secluded place and immediately began to recuperate.

The Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques were: the first, 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; and the seventh, Tearing Heaven and Earth.

'The first six techniques weren't nearly this powerful or terrifying. They wouldn't have instantly drained all my strength. Even with my current power, I'm not really supposed to use the seventh technique, Tearing Heaven and Earth.'

It was hard to imagine what would happen if he used the seventh technique, Tearing Heaven and Earth, after his cultivation broke through to the Realm King Realm. Long Ao was very much looking forward to it.

The Void Realm King Realm.

「Inside the Dragon Seal Space.」

"Master, the final two techniques of your Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques are incredibly powerful, and they can be continuously upgraded. Ultimately, the last two are the most formidable techniques in the entire set."

Long Ao nodded. He had already experienced the seventh technique of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques firsthand. The ability to obliterate two Realm King Martial Artists with a single strike... one could only imagine how terrifying it was.

"Long Fu, according to your calculations, up to what realm will the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques remain viable?"

"There is no limit, Master. If you diligently cultivate the final two techniques of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques to their peak, they will be powerful enough to tear apart Heaven and Earth and shatter the void."

'Tear apart Heaven and Earth, shatter the void.'

Long Ao had never imagined that the final two techniques of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques could be so terrifying.

"Master, your most urgent tasks right now are to stabilize your injuries and break through to the Realm King Realm. When you are ready to form your Domain, I will help you condense the Desolate Domain."

"What kind of Domain is that?"

"Master, I'm not exaggerating. Once you condense the Desolate Domain, you will be invincible among Realm Kings. The Desolate Domain surpasses all other Domains."

Long Ao couldn't help but curse inwardly. 'Holy shit.' Hearing Long Fu's words made him eager. The Desolate Domain... once paired with his Desolate Tyrant Body... Long Ao didn't need Long Fu to elaborate. He was completely confident he could dominate all other Realm Kings.

"Long Fu, I'll have to rely on myself to break through to the Realm King Realm, but I'll need your help to reach Peak Great Venerable."

"Master, it is extremely difficult. As your realm increases, the amount of power you require grows exponentially. If you want to reach the Peak Great Venerable Realm as quickly as possible, you must kill and perform Refinement on the souls of either three Realm Kings or one World Emperor Martial Artist."

'Three Realm Kings?'

'One Realm Emperor?'

Long Ao sighed to himself. If only he had managed to pull the two Realm Kings' souls into the Dragon Seal Space, he would have only needed one more to break through to Peak Great Venerable. But that wasn't how things had played out.

Long Ao knew full well that although the seventh technique, Tearing Heaven and Earth, was incredibly powerful, he absolutely could not use it again unless he had no other choice—not until his cultivation broke through to the Void Realm King Realm.

Long Ao was also keenly aware that unless he broke through to the Realm King Realm, it would be difficult to establish a foothold in the City of Sin, let alone bring the Five Great Emperors under his control.

He had managed to kill two Realm Kings this time with the help of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques. 'But can it kill a Realm Emperor?'

Without a doubt, even with the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques, it was impossible to kill a World Emperor Martial Artist. At this thought, Long Ao's expression grew increasingly grave.

Leaving the Dragon Seal Space, Long Ao continued to recuperate. Although that strike had been earth-shatteringly powerful, the toll it took was immense. It would be impossible to recover fully in just three to five days. This was the true reason Long Ao was so reluctant to use the Blood Drinking Seventh Technique: Heaven and Earth Rending. 'If the Five Great Emperors had arrived in time, would I have even made it back alive?'
