Tang Chen rose from the shattered city wall.
His Divine Body was covered in cracks, and his left hand was gone.
His Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul had shattered.
The Asura Demon Sword had lost its Divine Light.
But deep within Slaughter City, countless blood-red Divine Rings still rose.
The Hunters had not all vanished.
The surviving Heavenly God Hunters formed ranks again.
Twelve God-Level Hunters stood at the front.
More than four hundred Demigod Hunters lined either side.
Farther away, the Asura Divine Formation began to operate once more.
Blood-red Divine Runes crawled from beneath the ground, linking the Divine Bodies of every Hunter.
Tang Chen raised his hand.
The Asura Demon Sword flew back from the ruined wall.
The cracks along its blade remained plainly visible.
But as the Slaughter Origin poured into it, the blood-red Divine Runes lit up again.
"Long Yun."
Tang Chen looked at the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon.
"You are powerful indeed."
"But what you destroyed just now was only the first force the Divine Realm sent to test you."
Long Yun did not answer.
He stood between the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon's brows, its nine-colored eyes looking down upon Slaughter City.
Gu Yuena stood beside him, Silver Dragon Spear in hand.
Gold and silver Divine Light played across her silver gown.
She looked up at the blood-red army formation.
"Whatever else you have, bring it all out."
Tang Chen tightened his grip on the Asura Demon Sword.
"Form ranks!"
The twelve God-Level Hunters raised their weapons together.
The more than four hundred Demigod Hunters channeled their Divine Power.
Deep within Slaughter City, a blood-red pillar of light pierced the heavens.
Countless Divine Rings linked together.
The entire Heavenly God Hunt Legion became a vast Slaughter Battle Formation.
Blood-red sword energy condensed into a giant dragon.
