“You?”

Long Chen stared at her, taken aback.

There was no way they wouldn't be able to tell his strength. They were definitely aware that with their level of power, they couldn’t help him, and Li Yixuan could not possibly be so foolish as to want to hold him back. So her next words actually surprised him.

“Lord Long Chen, the Full Moon Sect still has trump cards! The reason we were reduced to this state is entirely because I was too foolish and I was caught off-guard. As the sect master, I am ashamed of myself.”

After saying that, Li Yixuan formed a series of hand seals. The ground quaked, and two formation discs with countless divine runes engraved on them appeared behind her.

When Long Chen saw these formation discs, he was truly surprised. The runes on these two formation discs were growing and developing all on their own! They had actually gained a trace of the new era’s law power!

“Formation discs capable of self-development?”

This was Long Chen’s first time seeing such formation discs. It was no wonder the divine capital would send two Forerunners together to deal with them. It seemed that they were aware of the Full Moon Sect’s foundation. And with that, he also understood why the Full Moon Sect hadn’t been in a rush to create Forerunners. It was because they had these two formation discs.

The Full Moon Sect was in fact very powerful. It simply hadn’t had a chance to show its trump cards.

Li Yixuan knew that the reason Long Chen agreed to help them was mostly due to pity. That was why her emotional manipulation had worked. But that kind of thing had its limits. She had to show their value and potential. At the same time, they had to express their unconditional trust in Long Chen.

They would go with Long Chen, using their sincere efforts to win his approval. And they would risk death if that was what it took.

Even though they knew that there might be no coming back from the divine capital, they would use their actions to prove that they were heroes in their own right. They would not simply rely on Long Chen's pity. And as long as they could get through this and live, the Full Moon Sect would be Long Chen’s most loyal ally.

The fact that they had two such formation discs was truly outside Long Chen’s expectations. These formation discs were the sect's karmic weapons, and they were connected to the power of every single member of the Full Moon Sect. The reason the Forerunners had been able to sneak-attack them was that their efforts were fully concentrated on improving these two formation discs.

The Full Moon Sect had a total of three legacy formation discs. One was used to protect the sect, while the other two were being upgraded. But they were interrupted at the most critical moment, resulting in an awkward and crushing defeat.

Now, these two formation discs only had a trace of the new era’s law power, far less than a Divine Sovereign Forerunner. But this trace of law power was boosted by the karmic luck and Spiritual Strength of all members of the Full Moon Sect, allowing them to unleash devastating power.

Long Chen was able to use a trace of the primal chaos space’s law power to ignite a flame, producing a hundred times the power of the laws of heaven and earth. Meanwhile, the law power in these formation discs was an incredibly weak spark, weaker than even Long Chen's, but when boosted by karmic luck and Spiritual Strength, the fire it lit would turn into a raging inferno capable of surpassing Long Chen.

Li Yixuan said, “These two Full Moon Divine Discs can concentrate the full power of the Full Moon Sect’s three hundred thousand members. If something unexpected happens, we can also use their power to flee. However, the ritual we were doing to complete them was interrupted. If we use them, their law power will instantly burn out. So with things as they are, each formation disc can only be used once.”

These two formation discs could be considered two life-saving trump cards. But the moment they were used, they would consume the entire power of the three hundred thousand sect members, and then they would be destroyed. In other words, Li Yixuan was essentially gambling the entire fate of the Full Moon Sect on Long Chen.

It went without saying that Li Yixuan truly was daring. But at the same time, this was actually the most rational decision.

She knew that the Full Moon Sect was already being targeted; the divine capital would soon send even more experts here. The formation discs could only be used twice. After that, the Full Moon Sect’s destruction would be at hand. Worse still, the Full Moon Sect’s foundation was here. Their karmic luck was concentrated within this land. If they simply fled, the Full Moon Sect would lose the support of its karmic luck, and then it would be doomed as well.

Furthermore, even if they did flee, where would they go? Who knew whether or not the arm of the divine capital would stretch throughout the entire Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture and grab them from their hideout? And even if they did escape the pursuit of the divine capital, could they escape the pursuit of the Brahma line?

Thus, Long Chen was truly their only hope. Relying on him was not just the best bet, but the only possible bet.

“Fine then. Since you've chosen to trust me, I won’t let you down.” Long Chen nodded.

Originally, Long Chen had intended on helping the Full Moon Sect survive these Forerunners' attack and that was that. Afterwards, their survival would be up to the heavens. But since the Full Moon Sect was showing this kind of courage, he didn’t mind helping them.

“Everyone get around me and relax. Don’t resist my power!” ordered Long Chen.

The disciples immediately obeyed, forming a circle around him.

All of them were extraordinary disciples. There was no lack of maidens in the springtime of their youth, but the majority didn’t even dare to look at Long Chen directly. It almost felt like they were blaspheming a god.

Starlight rippled from beneath Long Chen’s feet. The ripple enveloped all the disciples.

Long Chen took a single step, and these three hundred thousand disciples felt space twist. When they reappeared, they were many thousands of miles away.

Although they were mentally prepared for something extraordinary, many of them still cried out in shock at this. But they quickly recovered and clamped their hands over their mouths.

“Junior apprentice-sisters, we will be comrades fighting alongside each other in the future. Don’t be so uptight,” said Long Chen. He took another step, and they once more vanished.

This kind of spatial transportation was something they'd never experienced in their lifetimes, and the fact that Long Chen called them “junior apprentice-sister” was overwhelmingly flattering to them. One of them summoned the courage to say, “Lord Long Chen...”

“Cultivators have no lords. You bow to no one other than your parents, your master, and heaven and earth. You must follow your master, as well as the guidance of heaven and earth, to comprehend the Dao. So you can just call me senior apprentice-brother!” said Long Chen.

Although he wasn’t going as fast as he would have gone on his own, he wasn’t that much slower. And while the energy consumption rate was much greater, it was still within tolerable limits.

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, you clearly don’t have the new era’s law power. Why are you so powerful?” asked that brazen disciple.

“When you can see the form of heaven and earth, hear the voice of heaven and earth, smell the scent of heaven and earth, touch the skin of heaven and earth, feel the emotion of heaven and earth, you will also be this strong, or even stronger!” said Long Chen.

This startled the disciples. Just from Long Chen saying this, they felt like their senses were uplifted by some strange energy. They vaguely felt a certain spirituality flowing in their bodies. It was as if their perception of this world had just grown clearer.

“He just opened his mouth... and the laws followed...”

Li Yixuan’s eyes widened in shock. Just by speaking, Long Chen could grant others direct enlightenment! Was this not the legendary realm of natural laws following one's voice? But before she could speak up, a sudden burst of devil qi shook all of them back to reality. They looked ahead, only to see a giant city in front of them.

“Is this... Is this the divine capital?”

Li Yixuan could not believe her eyes.
