Chapter 5212 Eight Star Battle Armor
Long Chen’s hands and clothes were drenched in blood—Bai Shishi’s blood. The sight of it ignited a fury within him, driving him to the brink of madness as his killing intent surged uncontrollably.
The torment of having his loved one’s blood on his hands, the anguish of being unable to protect the one he cherished, was the cruelest torture imaginable.
This pain, this seething rage, this feeling that his heart might tear itself apart, was something only Long Chen could comprehend. A bottomless well of killing intent welled up inside him, and if he didn’t release it soon, he would explode.
But before Xia Chen could respond to Long Chen’s command, an icy voice rang out. “Big words. For a little ant to dare act so wildly, just who gave you that courage?”
The void trembled as three figures appeared simultaneously. The sight of them caused everyone’s heart to sink. The newcomers were two men and one woman. The woman carried a zither on her back, one middle-aged man held a chessboard, and the other had a sword at his waist, with sinisterly shaped pupils. The last man’s aura was extremely dark and oppressive, showing that he was not human.
A powerful Emperor might raged from the three of them, so intense that even those within the barrier felt as though their very souls were being crushed. Ye Ziwen and the others, who had just adjusted to the pressure from the half-step Human Emperors, were frozen in place, their bodies refusing to obey their commands as the three Human Emperors descended.
Outside the barrier, disciples who had been struggling to stand were instantly forced to their knees by the overwhelming pressure, unable to move.
Three Human Emperors had arrived at once, plunging countless people into despair. The Brahma Pill Valley’s eight Human Emperors and the Eight Domain Divine Diagram had already taken control, and it seemed the Eight Domain Divine Diagram had successfully suppressed the palace master.
In the sky, the High Firmament Divine Sword was locked in a stalemate with the Brahma Divine Diagram. It was a battle of karmic luck and faith energy where neither side could gain the upper hand.
Just as the crisis loomed, Yu Qingxuan used her power to repair the barrier, and the Dragonblood Legion’s prowess made people see a glimmer of hope. But with the arrival of three Human Emperors, that hope was quickly extinguished.
“How hateful. I am definitely the most worthless dean in the academy’s history!” said Lu Chengkong.
Within the barrier, Lu Chengkong clenched his fists tightly. Although his heart was in the right state, he lacked the ability to kill anyone. If he could trade his life for the safety of everyone, he wouldn’t hesitate, but his high realm was hollow without real strength. As the dean, he felt worthless.
“Dean Chengkong, don’t panic. With Dean Long Chen present, everything is possible,” said Bai Letian as he held the High Firmament Divine Sword’s sheath, raising the power of the barrier to the max.
Bai Letian continued, “Long Chen could become the High Firmament Academy’s youngest dean in all history and the only one to receive the sweeping elder’s acknowledgment because his power is far greater than it appears.”

After hearing Bai Letian’s reassurance, Lu Chengkong noticed that even the descent of three Human Emperors didn’t cause Long Chen’s expression to change in the slightest. There was no panic or fear, only boundless hatred.
Looking at Long Chen’s back, he suddenly felt that this seemingly weak figure was hiding enough power to destroy heaven and earth. It suddenly gave him a profound sense of safety.
Long Chen stared at the three figures, black ripples swirling in his eyes—a manifestation of his killing intent reaching its peak.
“It seems that the old fellow didn’t come here. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just watch as his disciples are killed,” said the woman with the zither. Although she looked to be in her forties, her voice was beautiful and clear as if she were still in the springtime of youth. However, it also brimmed with arrogance and disdain, as if all other lifeforms were ants to her.
“Our information on the High Firmament Academy has always been reliable. There was no need to doubt it. Let us destroy the High Firmament Academy and avenge our children!” said the man carrying the chessboard.
“Long Chen, you bastard, how dare you kill Luo Yujiao[1]?! Today, I’ll make you pay this blood debt with your own blood!” shouted the man with a sword on his waist. He clenched his teeth, glaring at Long Chen.
The fluctuations of his aura were almost identical to Luo Yujiao’s. He should be one of her ancestors and had come to avenge her.
“I see. So you were afraid of the sweeping elder being here, so you were only watching and launching probing blows at first,” said Long Chen darkly, realizing his enemies’ tactics. Their attacks were all part of a plan.
First, they had locked down the palace master and the High Firmament Divine Sword, forcing the academy to erect a barrier. They then used the Purgatory Fiend Spears to break the barrier and test the academy’s power. This barrier’s state would decide the life and death of countless disciples.
If the sweeping elder had been present, he would have intervened. So, when they saw Yu Qingxuan repair the barrier, they sent out the Lifehunter assassins. In the end, Bai Shishi had nearly lost her life.
After forcing the academy to this extent, they were sure that the sweeping truly wasn’t here. Considering the scale of their attack, it was obvious they had gathered intelligence in advance. However, these three Human Emperors had been cautious, not daring to act until they were certain the sweeping elder wasn’t present.
Suddenly, the ground trembled as more figures appeared around the academy. Even the Dragonblood warriors were shaken when they saw the enemy’s reinforcements. Now that the enemies knew that the sweeping elder wasn’t present, they finally unleashed their full force. This was the real decisive battle.
“Brothers, there’s no need to hold back any longer! Once we win, the Dragonblood Legion will be crowned king! If we lose, haha, we’ll reunite on the path to the yellow springs. When we’re reborn, we will be a legion once more!” Guo Ran roared, raising his head defiantly as an endless tide of enemies approached, with half-step Human Emperors as common as dogs and cats.
Although Guo Ran had lost his battle armor and sabers, he still had his crossbow. Even he knew that their enemies this time were too terrifying. After this battle, who knew whether or not the Dragonblood Legion would still exist?
“They’ve gathered all their power without holding anything back,” Bai Letian said, his heart sinking. He hadn’t expected the Brahma Pill Valley to amass the full power of all their subordinates. They really were planning on eradicating the High Firmament Academy.
Facing three Human Emperors and a tide of experts, Long Chen remained cool, with killing intent raging in his eyes.
“Since you dared to kill the disciples of my Zither Sect, you must be prepared for the consequences.” The woman sneered. “I heard that you’re very arrogant. In the Glacial Heaven Domain, you even said: ‘Beneath Human Emperors, I am unmatched. Amongst Human Emperors, I can go one for one.’ Can you say something so stupid again?”
“It’s no longer one for one. Now, it’s one for three! Eight Star Battle Armor!”
Long Chen’s roar shook the world, his voice spreading toward the depths of the cosmos. The next moment, an eight color divine ring appeared behind him, and eight stars illuminated this world.
