Chapter 7118 Heavenly Sovereign Essence Blood

Li Mingdao’s physical body was gone, but his Yuan Spirit was still there. As it turned out, even though he was not the sharpest tool in the shed, he was indeed a ruthless character; the very instant before his physical body exploded, he had opened his mouth and unleashed a flying sword condensed from his Yuan Spirit’s power. Due to how close they were, this flying sword almost instantly pierced Long Chen’s head. It invaded his mind-sea, going straight for his Yuan Spirit.

Sadly, Li Mingdao was baffled to sense his attack seemingly vanishing into a boundless sea. It was unable to cause even the tiniest ripple. Naturally, Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength had isolated that flying sword and refined it away.

“If you were a true sword cultivator, this kind of attack would be sharp enough to even make me want to avoid it. Unfortunately, you are not!” stated Long Chen.

A true sword cultivator’s body was a sword, and their soul was a sword as well. A spiritual sword like that could easily slay a Yuan Spirit. Even Long Chen wouldn’t dare to treat such a thing lightly. However, Li Mingdao was only a sword cultivator because of his sword-spirit. His own comprehension of the Sword Dao came entirely from the sword-spirit. Without the sword-spirit’s aid, he was nothing.

Forgetting that he no longer had a body, Li Mingdao unleashed a furious attack... or so he tried, at least. Seeing his final attack had been ineffective, he finally turned to flee. But he had only just turned around when Long Chen grabbed the Yuan Spirit’s throat with a hand wrapped in starlight. Indeed, the Star Cloud Hand was effective on both the physical body and the soul. Li Mingdao was unable to resist in the slightest.

Li Mingdao was filled with regret. Perhaps if he had directly fled instead of counterattacking when his body was destroyed, he would have been able to escape Long Chen’s grasp.

“Brat, Li Mingdao is the descendant of the gate master! He is also the Sword Pavilion master’s grandnephew! You’ve already destroyed his body, but if you kill his Yuan Spirit, the Immortal Ascension Gate will hunt you to the end of the world!” roared one of the elders.

Long Chen had deceived their senses, resulting in them underestimating him and allowing Li Mingdao to fall into his hands. Although they wanted to immediately subdue him, they didn’t dare to make any rash moves now. The moment Long Chen clenched his hand, Li Mingdao’s Yuan Spirit would be destroyed. They regretted not immediately attacking him.

“The Immortal Ascension Gate was already a hegemon back in the primal chaos era. Our legacy was spread throughout the nine heavens and ten lands. We might have gone into hiding after the primal chaos war, but we never stopped growing. We have countless heavenly geniuses and hundreds of triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns! If you kill Li Mingdao, you, your family, and your sect will definitely be wiped out!” threatened the other elder.

In truth, neither of them actually liked Li Mingdao in any way. But ultimately, he was closely related to the pavilion master and the gate master, and he was also his father’s only son. Thus, he was very pampered. He was given the best of everything, including over a hundred incredibly beautiful and talented companions. Even an emperor didn’t have as many concubines.

However, he simply didn’t work hard enough. His parents no longer counted on him for anything. All they hoped for were some grandchildren they could entrust their hopes to. Yet even after countless years, he had sowed countless seeds without giving birth to an heir.

In the end, Li Mingdao set his sights on Miao Yin’s talents. Unfortunately, Miao Yin had the Heavenly Sound Sect behind her, an organization in no way weaker than his own. After being rejected, Li Mingdao grew frantic and decided to just capture her. Obviously, he did not expect to stumble upon a wildcard like Long Chen.

Now, his physical body was destroyed and his Yuan Spirit was captured. His life was hanging by a thread. The two elders were his protectors, but even though they were triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns, they were at a loss. Even if his Yuan Spirit was preserved, his bloodline was essentially cut off now. After all, the Yuan Spirit could possess a new body, but the bloodline was gone. Neither of them knew what to do, or how they were going to explain themselves.

In any case, their main priority right now was to save Li Mingdao’s Yuan Spirit. Otherwise, the two of them might just accompany Li Mingdao to hell.

“The Immortal Ascension Gate? Is that some kind of amazing thing? If you’re that kind of hot shit, then why have you been hiding like cowards for so many years? I swear, living under a rock for a couple millennia has really made all of you blind. Do you seriously think your sect can threaten me?”

Long Chen snorted and suddenly sent a surge of astral energy into his hand. An explosive sound rang out, but instead of the expected spirit explosion, he himself was blasted away by an unknown force. When he looked at Li Mingdao, he saw a talisman had appeared on his forehead.

Long Chen stared at his bloody hand. He hadn’t expected Li Mingdao to have such a trump card. But if he had such a trump card, why hadn’t he used it earlier? Why wait until his body was destroyed?

This Grand Dao power comes from the might of a Heavenly Sovereign. This talisman was made with a Heavenly Sovereign’s essence blood! Miao Yin’s eyes widened. She instantly knew where the power of the talisman came from. But her first thought was the same as Long Chen’s—if he had such a powerful item, why hadn’t he used it earlier?

Li Mingdao’s spirit was shaking. His face twisted into an ugly scowl. That slut really ruined me!

The reason he had only used this talisman now was that... he had been too flustered and he had forgotten about it. Simple as that.

In fact, he originally had two of them. One talisman was bound to his body, and one was hidden in his Yuan Spirit. But just two months before, he had gotten involved with a woman who was incredibly talented and beautiful. She had to complete a dangerous trial for the sect, and Li Mingdao ended up expressing his “love” by lending one of his divine talismans to her.

This divine talisman had his own mark on it, so he wasn’t afraid of her not returning it when the time came. And when the woman returned it, she would not just have to return the talisman. She would also have to pay some “interest” on top of it. Well, that had been the original plan. Now, Li Mingdao was filled with regret, and even though she’d done nothing wrong, he held a grudge against her as well.

“Capture him! I want him alive!” roared Li Mingdao. With his life-saving talisman, he once more grew arrogant.

Meanwhile, Long Chen was barely interested. “A talisman inscribed with the essence blood of a Heavenly Sovereign of the old era, huh? I wonder just how strong it is.”

Long Chen raised his hand. The sound of a bell rang out as a giant astral bell descended from the heavens, instantly covering Li Mingdao. The two triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns attempted to grab him, but they were also covered by that massive astral bell.

The bell rang seven times. Astral laws gathered around it, and countless divine diagrams made of stars flashed; there were dragons and phoenixes flying around the bell. Yet Long Chen’s starry sea also started flickering. It was as if Long Chen’s astral energy was insufficient to support this giant bell.

However, seeing this display of power, Li Mingdao and his underlings paled.

“A nine star heir!”

Just then, Long Chen roared, “Eight gates!”

Eight giant astral gates slowly opened around his divine ring.
