Chapter 1562 Chapter 1562: Shattering Dream
Long Chen was all alone in this place, even sending the Demonic Ancestor back, as if he had accepted his failure. However, he still didn't plan to let Tian Shen succeed. All he wanted was to minimize the damage to his own people.
Fortunately, all his Contracted Beasts were left in the Demonic Realm, which was a much safer place than here.
With the Demonic Ancestor back there and having seen the alliance of these three sides, Long Chen believed that he could prepare for the worst.
"Are you accepting your death?" Tian Shen asked Long Chen, his mind already thinking about the future where he was going to completely take the bloodline and everything that came with it.
As for the Demonic Ancestor, he didn't care. That was for the Heavenly Emperor to worry about. He just wanted the Demonic Ancestor to leave this body to make things easier and now that he was gone, things became easier.
Long Chen looked at Tian Shen, his eyes filled with mockery. "I may be accepting my death, but that doesn't mean I will go down without a fight. You may have won this battle, but the war is far from over."
Tian Shen laughed arrogantly. "You are just a mere mortal, destined to be my stepping stone. What can you possibly do against the might of the Heavenly Emperor and the Ancestral Beast, let alone me? Your resistance is futile."
Long Chen's lips curled into a smirk. "What can I do..."
He raised his sword towards Tian Shen.
Tian Shen smiled, seeing a weapon raised at him. Even the Demonic Ancestor couldn't do anything. It was only a matter of time before Long Chen was at his feet.
"How Naive..." he spoke as he prepared for the battle while reminding others to make sure Long Chen wasn't killed.

Unfortunately, his smile soon disappeared, replaced by a frown. "What do you think you're doing?"
His eyes looked at Long Chen, who had turned the aim of the sword. At this moment, his sword was pointing at his own chest.
"Have you gone insane? You want to kill yourself?" Tian Shen asked in disbelief.
He made it evident to everyone that he needed Long Chen's body intact for devouring so he could fulfill his goals and his sharp reaction further proved it to Long Chen.
"I want to kill your dreams right before your eyes!" Long Chen laughed in response. Although it was only a guess, seeing the response of the man, he was certain that Tian Shen needed him alive.
Since there was no way out, the best he could do was screw Tian Shen with his death, suffering worse than death for Tian Shen.
Tian Shen had waited for thousands of years. At this point, he was obsessed with completing this bloodline. Once this dream was broken, it was worse for Tian Shen than his death.
"If you dare hurt yourself, I'll kill everyone related to you! I'll kill all you've known and all you cared about!" Tian Shen roared, his expressions darkening.
If Long Chen had already accepted his death, then the only way to stop him was through people he cared for. Tian Shen knew that human relations were important for mortals!
He decided to use Long Chen's loved ones as leverage, hoping to save the bloodline. However, little did Tian Shen know that Long Chen's strength came not from his worldly attachments, but from his unwavering determination.
Even with his loved ones threatened, Long Chen remained resolute. Although he cared for his people, with the Demonic Ancestor gone, he was certain that the old man was going to find ways to keep them safe.
At the same time, there was no guarantee that once Tian Shen received all he wanted, he was going to let them live. Trusting this man was worse than trusting the biggest Traitor in the universe.
Long Chen's laughter echoed through the air, his eyes filled with defiance. "You think you can control me with threats?"
Tian Shen's expression twisted with anger. He never expected Long Chen to remain so steadfast even in the face of danger. "You will regret this! I will make everyone suffer for your defiance!"
Long Chen brought his sword even closer to his heart, the blade glinting in blood red aura. "I have already accepted my death. And the only thing I regret is not being able to see your twisted face after your dreams shatter!"
"You!" Tian Shen flew towards Long Chen to stop him.
With a swift motion, Long Chen plunged the sword into his own chest. Tian Shen's eyes widened in horror as he watched the blade penetrate Long Chen's heart.
"You!" Tian Shen roared like a crazy demon, as he grabbed Long Chen's throat.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even feel the slightest trace of life. In the blink of an eye, Long Chen's life force was devoured by the sword.
"Argh!" Tian Shen let out a scream of anguish, his hands trembling as he released his grip on Long Chen's lifeless body.
He wanted to cut Long Chen's body in thousands of pieces in his anger, but he didn't.
He grabbed Long Chen by his collar and disappeared, no one knowing where he went.
Only the Heavenly Emperor and the Godly Beasts were left behind, both pleased at Tian Shen's agony. Although they were in a single team and had a deal, that didn't mean they didn't want both sides to fail at the end.
Tian Shen had lost his chance and Long Chen was gone. Two of their biggest problems were solved. The Heavenly Emperor was even laughing at Tian Shen's mystery.
On the other hand, the Rainbow Phoenix had a frown on her face, wondering where Tian Shen had taken Long Chen's body. She worried if Tian Shen could still use it.

In an unknown world, Tian Shen appeared, tossing Long Chen's body aside, his face still blood red in anger. It was all because of Long Chen.
