Systemless Villain

Chapter 251  Long Tian's Earthshaker

In the thundering sky, a winged figure soared through the air, crackling with lightning—clearly Long Tian with his demonic wings.

The cultivators watched from below with anticipation and curiosity, eager to witness Long Tian's power.

"Now let's see how strong the young master of the Long family truly is. He should be targeting the soul beast horde near that portal," one remarked.

Their interest piqued, their intention to unite and advance momentarily postponed to witness Long Tian's actions.

Lin Xian'er, too, eagerly anticipated witnessing Long Tian's strength. Her interest knew no bounds.

Meanwhile, soaring high in the sky, Long Tian's keen gaze honed in on the hundreds of soul beasts congregated near the crimson portal.

His body crackled with lightning as he closed the distance.

"Now is the opportune moment to put my newfound abilities to the test," he declared, grinning, his aura burgeoning with power.

His eyes remained fixed on the soul beasts. In the next instant, a potent aura akin to a heatwave emanated from both his legs.

"Here I come!" he roared, streaking towards the soul beasts with the speed of lightning.

An ultrasonic blast reverberated as his legs crashed into the earth with tremendous force, and...

BOOM!

The impact unleashed a seismic quake of wide radius, accompanied by bursts of lightning, hurling dust into the air and veiling the scene. Yet, within the swirling dust cloud, the majority of the soul beasts were sent hurtling through the air, some propelled far beyond.

Amidst the thick haze, Long Tian grinned, standing amidst the shattered terrain. Strewn about were the defeated soul beasts, many reduced to unrecognizable remnants.

His grin broadened; this was the ability he had absorbed from the orangutan. He dubbed it Earthquake Stomp!

"I'm not finished yet!" he declared, his grin undiminished, rocketing skyward before hurtling back down with lightning speed.

BOOM!

Once more, cracks accompanied by explosions of lightning ruptured the earth, striking the soul beasts and sending bystanders flying.

Yet Long Tian didn't cease with just two assaults; he ascended once more into the sky and descended with lightning celerity.

BOOM!

CRACK!

CRACK!

BOOM!

The symphony of cracks, detonations, and lightning flashes resounded repeatedly, crafting an extraordinary tableau where chunks of earth and soul beasts were propelled into the air, resembling the aftermath of a strong earthquake.

The majority of the soul beasts were one or two-stars, with only a scant few three-stars left standing after Long Tian's relentless barrage.

Meanwhile, Yu, Lin Xian'er, and the others stood in disbelief, witnessing Long Tian's onslaught.

"I-Is that the power of the young master of the Long family?" one uttered incredulously, breaking the silence.

The sheer might of Long Tian's attacks left everyone astounded. Even those who had initially underestimated him now held him in high regard.

"As expected of Long Zhan's son, his strikes are truly devastating."

"Indeed, at such a tender age, he possesses a promising future."

"Hehehe, perhaps I could extend an invitation for him to join the ranks of the Divine Sword Sect."

Conversations about Long Tian abounded, with many expressing admiration for his prowess. Yu, Jian, and Yang were no exceptions. While they had witnessed Long Tian's strength in combatting a four-star soul beast, they were still taken aback by the magnitude of his current power.

Lin Xian'er echoed their sentiments. Initially skeptical of Long Tian's capabilities as Yu had claimed, her doubts had been completely dispelled.

Unconsciously, a smile graced her lips. "I hope you're better than your father," she murmured softly under her breath.

----------

CRACK!

The ground trembled violently, fracturing across a wide radius under the force of Long Tian's stomp. His expression radiated excitement, a broad grin etched across his face as he relished the intensity of the battle.

With a swift flap of his wings, the dust dissipated, unveiling the shattered terrain resembling the aftermath of an earthquake, adorned with approximately ten craters—the remnants of his Earthquake Stomp.

The once-teeming area near the portal, brimming with hundreds of soul beasts, was now significantly reduced, leaving only a few dozen.

Suddenly, a low growl emanated from behind him, prompting him to swiftly pivot. Around twenty soul beasts of varying shapes stood, their visages fierce and determined.

"Well, aren't you lining up nicely? That just makes it easier for me," he remarked, his grin widening.

The soul beasts, provoked by Long Tian's words, charged towards him with bared teeth and ferocious eyes, poised to rend him asunder.

Observing the scene, the watching cultivators expressed concern. "Will he be able to handle them? I mean, sure, he can shatter the ground like a meteor, but that was a charged attack," one remarked.

"Fret not, he faced a four-star soul beast head-on. Dealing with a few two-star soul beasts shouldn't pose much of a challenge," Yu reassured, his tone casual as he crossed his arms.

Hearing this, those who harbored doubts redirected their attention to Long Tian, intrigued by his next move.

On the flip side, as the soul beasts charged towards him, Long Tian lifted his right leg. In the next moment, he brought it crashing down onto the ground, causing it to fracture and spread toward the oncoming creatures.

The soul beasts staggered, some even stumbled and fell.

But Long Tian's assault didn't cease there; the blade of his darkblade crackled with lightning. With unwavering focus, he swung his sword towards the soul beasts, unleashing a powerful lightning strike.

BANG!

The onslaught struck the soul beasts, sending surges of electricity coursing through their bodies, and most of them were split in half!

In mere seconds, a single attack had claimed the lives of all 26 soul beasts!

Long Tian grinned, thoroughly pleased with his newfound abilities.

"Now, I feel like taking on a four-star soul beast again, or perhaps even five or six stars? Hehehe, the mere thought fills me with excitement," he declared with a grin.

Meanwhile, the watching cultivators were once again astounded by Long Tian's prowess.

"It's unbelievable that he's only at the Flowing Qi realm."

"Yes, such strength usually belongs to a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, perhaps even at the pinnacle. Truly, the young master of the Long family is exceptionally gifted."

"Now I'm truly eager to invite him to join the Cloud Heaven sect!"

Discussion about Long Tian resumed among many, with praises abound. They were the cream of the crop from various Han Empire institutions, devoid of competitive envy, unlike other young talents who might feel spurred or even envious upon witnessing Long Tian's abilities.

Lin Xian'er, however, wore a smile as she stepped forward, brandishing her sword.

"There are still many soul beasts near that portal; let's lend our aid," she declared, turning to the fellow cultivators.

Their responses were immediate and unanimous.

"Yes."

"Let's go!"

"I'm brimming with excitement!"

Long Tian's assault on the hundreds of soul beasts reignited everyone's spirits, particularly given his prestigious lineage. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Many pondered the prospect of forging a strong connection with him.

Thus, Lin Xian'er, Yu, Jian, and the other 58 elite cultivators moved in unison towards the portal, bolstering Long Tian in facing the remaining soul beasts.
