The words spoken by Wen Ping back then floated unexpectedly to mind, echoing in the ears.
It was then he understood.
Then he realized the true meaning of Wen Ping’s words back then.
"Brother!"
Suddenly, Long Yue’s shout shattered the brief silence.
Just as Long Yue was about to rush to Long Ye, the skinless and battered Long Ye suddenly spoke, "Don’t come!"
Long Yue asked again, "Brother, are you alright?"
"I won’t die!" Long Ye replied, then suddenly raised his head revealing a face cold and drenched in blood, lifting a hand as the blood-colored Giant Axe quietly lying dozens of meters away soared back into Long Ye’s hand as though returning home.
At that second, Long Ye suddenly shouted.
"Wen Ping!"
Wen Ping stood motionless, gazing at Long Ye with an exceedingly calm look.
Long Ye sneered fiercely, exuding an evil aura unrelated to death, and said to Wen Ping, "You’ve completely enraged me!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of the Vibrating Vein reverberated.
Then, four blue vortexes started spinning on Long Ye’s chest.
Once the Four-Vortex Diagram was activated, Long Ye suddenly began to emanate a red glow, drifting like smoke across his body.
His aura was climbing rapidly!
Wen Ping said, "Oh... Four-Vortex Diagram."
Seeing the Four-Vortex Diagram for the first time, Wen Ping closely observed Long Ye, wanting to know how much power the diagram could augment onto the Vein Technique.
But noticing that Long Ye did not intend to unleash the Death Baptism, Wen Ping quickly asked the system for assistance.
Soon, the system’s voice sounded by his ear, "According to the detection, the amplification from the Four-Vortex Diagram on Long Ye’s chest is at eighty percent."
"Only eighty percent?"
The Three-Vortex Diagram already had a seventy percent boost.
Only eighty percent for the Four-Vortex Diagram, isn’t that a bit low?
The system promptly responded, "The quality of the Vortex Diagram varies, with the highest quality capable of enhancing the Vein Technique power by ninety percent. It’s evident that the diagram absorbed by Long Ye is not of high quality."
Wen Ping said, "It seems that outside the Heaven and Earth Lake, the Four-Vortex Diagrams are also scarce. If Zi Ran could become a Four-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan..."
Ending the conversation with the system, Long Ye had transformed that red Qi into a light shield, enveloping himself entirely.
"Unrivaled Killing Intent - First Fury Realm!"
With a wave of the Giant Axe, Long Ye stood amidst the ruins like a Slaughter War God.
All traces of disarray vanished!
The killing intent, forming a circular shield, subtly contended with the deathly aura of the Devouring Beast, no longer possessing its previous overwhelming strength. Upon sensing this shift, the Devouring Beast contracted its body, transforming into a massive sphere that leapt high, crashing towards Long Ye. Long Ye roared and wielded his axe to counter.
In an instant, the two engaged in close combat.
The deafening clash reverberated, the subsequent shockwave leveled the few remaining rafters of the building.
For a short while, the two were evenly matched.
Watching this scene, Wen Ping expressed slight astonishment, "An Earth Level School Vein Skill. Its release has enhanced defense, power, and speed collectively, which means the Long family members are not as weak as they seem. Even in the First Fury Realm, to such a degree. In the subsequent realms, the enhancement might be greater."
As soon as Wen Ping finished speaking, a voice came from Long Ye’s side.
"Unrivaled Killing Intent - Second Fury Realm!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Along with the trembling of the Meridian Gate, a red killing intent like smoke climbed onto the Blood Axe.
With a single axe strike, it was not as simple as it seemed. The Devouring Beast, using its bony hand to block this strike, felt a subsequent force emanating from the Blood Axe.
This bizarre force came from below!
As the Blood Axe descended, a stone pile erupted from beneath the Devouring Beast’s feet, fanning out in a shape that extended nearly 30 meters.
The sudden protrusion of the stone pile lifted the Devouring Beast, causing it to stagger and almost fall. Fortunately, the beast had four arms and managed to stabilize itself with two, but it couldn’t evade the Blood Axe already descending, its spine getting struck hard by it.
Crack!
The sound of bones cracking echoed.
A fracture appeared in the vertebra struck by the Blood Axe.
Of course, it wasn’t over yet.
The stone pile beneath continued to rise sharply, lifting the Devouring Beast further.
These piles, though lacking the strength of the Blood Axe, were still not to be underestimated. The massive Devouring Beast was unable to maintain its balance and toppled sideways to the ground.
Long Ye’s face lit up with joy.
"Unrivaled Killing Intent - Third Fury Realm!"
"Watch as I chop every single bone of yours to pieces, axe by axe!"
The full-body augmentation from the Unrivaled Killing Intent First Fury Realm was only ten percent.
The Second Fury Realm’s full-body augmentation was just twenty percent.
So Long Ye decided to use the Third Fury Realm, directly maximizing the boost to thirty percent!
With the thirty percent enhancement, plus the Four-Vortex Diagram’s augmentation of Unrivaled Killing Intent, he was confident he could crush every bone of this skeletal creature.
He would reclaim all the humiliation previously suffered!
Suddenly, Wen Ping’s voice arrived.
"Is this all you’ve got? Seems like next time, I’ll have to catch your husband."
The fallen Devouring Beast leaped up violently upon hearing these words, turning back to Wen Ping as if begging him not to.
Seeing Wen Ping’s unyielding gaze, the empress within the Devouring Beast hurriedly turned back to Long Ye.
Seeing Long Ye enhanced once again, the empress within the Devouring Beast went wild!
Charging directly at Long Ye!
As if determined to go down together.
