Chapter 5399 Why Must You Provoke Me?

chapter 5399 why must you provoke me?

a brilliant star shot from long chen’s palm, tearing through the air like a comet. this attack was the product of his relentless study, modeled after the technique used by a disciple from the nine star trial. however, his version was unique because he used his own methods to comprehend this technique.

not long ago, long chen had come up with a way to imitate this technique but never dared to use it because his astral energy was too sluggish. it was like an unwieldy hammer that he couldn’t control perfectly.

this divine ability was something he could only use once his control of astral energy had reached a certain level. otherwise, he would only injure himself.

thankfully, the radiant world star crystal had caused his comprehension of astral energy to reach an extreme height. all of a sudden, his control over astral energy soared, giving him the qualifications to use this move.

long chen knew that his luck wasn’t good, so he refrained from using this move impulsively. instead, he had been diligently circulating his astral energy, allowing it to undergo countless revolutions within his body. he waited until he could feel his astral energy flowing freely before daring to unleash the attack.

one star, star fall. this technique utilized an astral rune to draw upon the astral energy of the nine heavens. the astral energy gathered in long chen’s left hand, but it would be released with explosive force from his right.

this was a deliberate way to enhance the power and speed of the attack. in long chen’s left hand, it was merely an ordinary star, but once released from his right, it took on a life of its own—imbued with its own spirituality and will. long chen had once been on the receiving end of this technique; now, he wielded it himself.

the tiny star was only the size of a baby’s fist, but it carried the power to rip through heaven and earth as it collided with its target.

boom!

ye linfeng crossed his arms defensively, and his bracers gleamed as they absorbed the impact. yet, he couldn’t help but stagger away, his feet grinding against the ground. in the end, cracks splintered through his bracers, and by the seventh step, he coughed up blood.

everyone felt a jolt of fear as he spoke. his voice was no longer the same; it had turned low and raspy, dripping with a killing intent so intense it seemed to pierce their very souls, like a reaper’s hook reaching into their minds and tugging at their fear.

“i only wanted a fair fight, a chance to settle things and see who stands above and who will fall. why do you keep dragging her into this?” long chen demanded icily.

this fellow repeatedly taunted long chen with tang wan-er’s safety. long chen’s fury simmered dangerously close to erupting, but he did his best to restrain it and maintain his mind. otherwise, his heart-devil might invade his mind and take over his body at any moment.

the last time it had surfaced, his heart-devil had nearly taken over completely. if not for the silver hair void crusher injuring him mid-battle, he might have lost himself to that dark force, possibly forever. long chen couldn’t let that happen again. every moment, he stayed vigilant, knowing his own rage was the surest path to summoning that inner darkness.

“hahaha!” ye linfeng threw his head back in laughter, delighted by long chen’s mounting rage.

boom!

however, his laughter was cut short by a deafening roar from long chen. it was a thunderous sound, as if the heavens themselves had split open. violet qi flared up in the starry sea within him, igniting with a fierce intensity.

without hesitation, long chen charged at ye linfeng, his fury channeled into raw power. ye linfeng sneered, taunting him, “go ahead, let your anger loose, you insignificant ant!”

he didn’t forget to mock long chen, as if long chen’s anger was the most delightful thing to him. however, just as ye linfeng mocked him, a star appeared in each of long chen’s hands. this time, these stars were twice the size of the previous technique.

“two stars, flying rainbow!”
