Chapter 5922 Big Brother Was Late

Sovereign flames burned furiously around Liu Changtian. A radiant totem mark flickered on his forehead, but it was nearly consumed by the flame.

Although Long Chen had no idea what that mark represented, his instinct told him that Liu Changtian’s life was hanging by a thread.

Opposite him, Long Can stood beneath the Brahma Divine Diagram, the Divine Commander Blade in her hand, and Lord Brahma’s divine statue looming behind her. Divine energy still exuded from her like a never-ending tide.

Even someone as powerful as Liu Changtian was slowly being worn down. His flame of life flickered ever closer to extinguishment.

Liu Changtian had pinned all his hopes on Long Chen. If Long Chen could perform one more miracle—kill Yan Yang and escape—then Liu Changtian could die in peace.

Hence, Liu Changtian had unleashed everything he had to hold back Long Can. But Liu Xihua couldn’t endure any longer. She was defeated by Lian Sanqiang.

Everything was over.

All of a sudden, Liu Changtian’s remaining Sovereign flames blazed, and he shot at Lian Sanqiang.

Startled, Lian Sanqiang instinctively threw Liu Xihua aside and retreated. Liu Changtian’s charge looked like a suicide strike. Even if it wasn’t fatal, Lian Sanqiang wasn’t willing to take the risk. He was too cautious for that.

In any case, Liu Xihua had already ignited her life flame—nothing could save her now. So, Lian Sanqiang simply used her as a shield.

As for Liu Changtian, his sudden charge was just to scare Lian Sanqiang. His real goal was to reclaim his beloved.

But Liu Changtian’s charge was only a feint. He retracted his flames mid-flight and caught Liu Xihua in his arms. What remained of his own life flame slowly transferred into her body.

“Sovereign Lord… I’m sorry…” muttered Liu Xihua.

Liu Xihua slowly regained consciousness in his embrace, but she was filled with guilt.

Perhaps if she had held on a bit longer, things wouldn’t have ended this way. But this world was ruthless.

Even now, with death looming, her first thought was to apologize. It was like a blade through Liu Changtian’s guts.

Throughout countless years, Liu Xihua’s heart had never strayed from him. But he had always been thinking of someone else. And yet, she had never complained.

Seeing her like this now, he felt like millions of needles were stabbing him in the heart.

“Xihua…”

For the first time in his life, Liu Changtian wept. He was overwhelmed with regret—for never cherishing the woman who had given him everything.

“Sovereign Lord, a supreme existence like you shouldn’t cry…”

Liu Xihua was startled. Her heart ached, but amidst the pain was a bittersweet warmth.

Lian Sanqiang declared, “Liu Changtian, do you think this is the time for sentimental nonsense? Pathetic. If you’re so in love, let me help you die together!”

Having lost face from being startled earlier, Lian Sanqiang let out a furious roar and slammed a palm toward them.

But the two were already spent. Even if left untouched, they wouldn’t survive much longer. They had no strength to resist.

Just as Lian Sanqiang’s palm fell, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him and slapped him hard across the face. A burst of blood-colored divine light exploded, sending Lian Sanqiang flying.

“You bastard, even if I have to die, I’ll make sure I drag you down today!” Long Chen roared.

After that, he vanished.

Lian Sanqiang had thought the battle was over—that all that remained was a cleanup. Unexpectedly, Long Chen still had the power to sneak attack him.

Before Lian Sanqian could process the slap, a dragon claw holding Yan Yang smashed toward him.

BOOM!

Lian Sanqiang raised his staff, blowing apart the claw—and with it, Yan Yang.

He still had far more energy left than Yan Yang. Without Sovereign qi fueling it, the attack couldn’t threaten Yan Yang. And since he hadn’t used core energy either, Yan Yang’s undying body would soon reform.

BANG!

But just as Lian Sanqiang parried the dragon claw, a brick smashed into the back of his head. Blood sprayed into the air. His vision spun as stars danced before his eyes.

Still, with Sovereign qi swirling around him, this strike couldn’t threaten his life.

Long Chen’s heart sank. Sovereign qi… that uncrossable chasm. Without it, there was simply no way to kill someone at this level.

“Die!” Lian Sanqiang bellowed, sweeping his staff once more.

Emerald divine light reappeared. Countless figures materialized within it, and the disciples of the Undying race poured every last ounce of their lives into forming a barrier.

BOOM!

The emerald light shattered. Over half of the Undying disciples exploded on the spot.

Liu Ruyan, Liu Minghao, and the others were all cracked and bloodied. They had taken the brunt of the blow. However, thanks to everyone working together, they miraculously held on.

“Damn all of you!” Lian Sanqiang roared and raised his staff once more.

Liu Changtian and Liu Xihua shut their eyes. They didn’t want to see what came next.

In contrast, Liu Ruyan and the others kept their eyes wide open. They had given everything. If this was how it ended, then so be it.

Liu Ruyan turned to look at Long Chen, smiling. Dying together with her loved one… wasn’t that also a kind of happiness? At least, she didn’t need to feel lonely.

BOOM!

Just as death seemed inevitable, an explosive sound rang out. A bald man in black armor appeared, his Blood Qi surging like a raging sea. He blocked Lian Sanqiang’s strike with a single black spear.

“What?”

The newly reformed Yan Yang and Long Can paled in shock.

This bald man’s Blood Qi shook the very world. Black chains coiled around him like living serpents, and he looked like a devil god born from the abyss.

Most frightening of all, they couldn’t see through his realm. He didn’t have Sovereign qi circling him, but he had managed to block Lian Sanqiang’s attack.

He was a mountain of a man, built like an iron tower. The left and right sides of his face bore ghostly face marks. It was like he had three faces.

“Brother Long Chen, your big brother was late. Once I cut off their heads, I’ll offer you a drink to apologize!”

With a roar, the chains binding the bald man exploded.

Like an unsealed devil, he stepped forward. Nether Qi erupted, and the laws of the Netherworld surged over the battlefield, transforming the aura of the world.
