I am around chapter 900 and this Long Chen with NSHBA really does seem so much more lacking than the other cultivators in the story considering even the heavens fear him and divergent and all that shit...Does he ever get a upper hand in any major fights or is it always a struggle....TBH the way the villains just escape all the time is really frustrating..!!!
I made it to almost chapter 1200. I think I stopped at the time because it was exhausting to read. Dude never once has the upper hand and it constantly half a breath from dying. He's got all these amazing abilities and skills but his enemies are so insanely overpowered he never has a chance to grow up.
