Chapter 1142 - Justice
That middle-aged man was none other than the City Lord of Mysterious Heavenly Dao, Guo Xu’s father also Guo Zhengyang.
Now that he saw his beloved son beaten up, he couldn’t help but be shocked and angry. He coldly shouted at Long Chen and the others, wanting to find the culprit.
“City Lord, the young master’s life force is severely damaged. He needs a top-grade derivative medicine and a Body Refinement Pellet to heal him.” An elder hurriedly said upon seeing Guo Xu’s injury.
Both the chicken and the egg had flown away. Of course, it was very serious. Guo Zhengyang was the only son. This caused a huge commotion.
Hearing that, Guo Zhengyang frowned, and said after some hesitation, “Carry it down for the medical team to treat. Whether it’s the poison or the natural power, it’s more suitable.”
That old man was speechless. He had followed this city lord for nearly three hundred years. Although he knew he was a miser and was incredibly stingy, he had never thought that he would be so stingy towards his own son.
However, if the growth rate was too slow, it would cause Guo Xu quite a bit of suffering, and Guo Zhengyang would rather let his son suffer than to treat him with pills.
"Whoever did it, stand up for me."
As everyone was carrying Guo Xu away, Guo Zhengyang turned his gaze towards Hua Shiyu and the rest, obviously looking for someone to beat up.
Hua Shishi was about to step forward when Long Chen stepped forward and said to Guo Zhengyang, "You must be Mayor Guo Zhengyang. Master Xuan ordered me to bring you some money."
What shocked all the disciples the most was that Guo Zhengyang, who was angry a moment ago, had a big smile on his face the moment he heard about the funds.
“Yes, yes. Master Xuan is indeed wise. Ah, my Mysterious Heavenly Dao City is indeed short on money. We don’t even have the money to repair the fortifications. What about the funds?”
Long Chen gave a faint smile, full of admiration for the Academy Master’s talent. He took out an interspatial ring, and handed it over to Guo Zhengyang.
Just as Guo Zhengyang was about to reach for his storage ring, Long Chen’s hand suddenly shot out and grabbed Guo Zhengyang’s wrist. Before the shocked eyes of the crowd, Guo Zhengyang was thrown to the ground by Long Chen.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion resounded, and dust flew in the air. Guo Zhengyang never thought that Long Chen would dare to sneak in an attack on him. Before he could even activate his defense, he was already knocked out.
"Long Chen, what are you doing?" This time, even Gao Xianyang was frightened out of his wits. Was Long Chen trying to rebel?
At this point, countless experts from within Mysterious Heavenly Dao City rushed out. They looked at the unconscious Guo Zhengyang in shock, but no one dared to question him.
“By order of the Xuan Lord, I have come to investigate the matter of Guo Zhengyang’s embezzlement of the project funds, and personal wealth. These are the tokens given by the Xuan Lord himself. Take a good look.”
A golden token appeared in Long Chen’s hand, exuding a powerful pressure. However, at the location of the token, the image of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect appeared. This was one of the most powerful tokens in the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
"From today onwards, I am the city lord of Mysterious Heavenly Dao City. I will now give the order to seal off the entire city. No one is allowed to go out. Those who disobey my order are to be executed." Long Chen coldly snorted.
Everyone was stunned. Even Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er didn’t know that Long Chen had come with a mission.
"Senior Brother Su Mo, Senior Sister Qing Xuan, Shiyu and Wang Zhen. Bring your men and block the four city gates. Kill anyone who dares come out." Long Chen said.
Although the four of them did not know what Long Chen was planning to do, they still brought everyone to the sealed area.
As for Long Chen, he led the rest of the people into Mysterious Heavenly Dao City in a grandiose manner. As they entered Mysterious Heavenly Dao City, even Dragon City became speechless.
Not a single piece of the brick under the ground of Mysterious Heavenly Dao City remained intact. All of them had been shattered. This was the most dilapidated city Long Chen had ever seen.
Entering the city, Long Chen saw quite a few Forging Stage powerhouses, listlessly basking in the sunlight, looking like a glutton waiting to die.
Seeing Long Chen bring in the unconscious Guo Zhengyang, everyone’s eyes lit up. Some of them even asked excitedly, “Senior, are you here to bring justice to this vampire?”
Senior?
Long Chen felt very uncomfortable when he saw that this fellow, who looked like a middle-aged man with a beard, actually called him senior.
However, looking at that person’s expression, Long Chen could tell that this fellow must have been squeezed too hard, and wished that Guo Zhengyang would die.
"Guo Zhengyang, do you have any other friends?" Long Chen directly said.
“Yes, yes. I’ll bring you guys there.”
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, many people immediately shouted loudly. Their voices were filled with excitement, shocking Tang Wan’er and the others. They had no idea what had happened.
“Let’s go!”
Long Chen handed Guo Zhengyang over to Gu Yang to look at, then followed that group of people towards a luxurious mansion. As soon as they ran into the mansion, some strong warriors came out and started cursing loudly.
In the end, Long Chen sent them flying with a kick, and smashed the door open with a punch. The people inside were beaten up by the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Legion before they could even react.
Upon entering the mansion, a plump man rushed out. Just as he was about to speak, he was struck unconscious.
So there were four great nobles within Mysterious Heavenly Dao City. Now that Long Chen had arrived, everyone was captured.
For a moment, the entire city was in chaos. Many people fled for their lives, but in the end, all the people blocking the entrance were caught and brought back to the city.
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, Long Chen, Meng Qi, Tang Wan’er, Gu Yang, and the other Dragon Blood Warriors were gathered. The Guo father, son, and dozens of nobles were lying motionless on the ground.
Under Long Chen’s instructions, Meng Qi investigated them with her soul search. What surprised everyone was that whether it was the City Lord or the other nobles, they were all members of the Sect.
Through Meng Qi’s soul search, Long Chen couldn’t help but admire the Xuan Lord’s methods from the bottom of his heart.
In reality, this City Lord was arranged by the Sect in the Mysterious Heavenly Dao City. Under the Sect’s assistance, he secretly helped the City Lord, but the Xuan Lord pretended not to know.
In fact, Guo Zhengyang was a super miser, being stingy to others and being stingy to himself. From the way he treated Guo Xu, it could be seen from how he treated him.
After he took office, he began desperately searching for wealth, embezzling funds, squeezing the wages of disciples, all sorts of things that could be delayed, and all kinds of things that could be relied on, but in the end, many disciples of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect couldn’t take it anymore, and reported it to the Profound Master.
The Xuan Master had sent someone to check the accounts, but Guo Zhengyang handed over half of the accounts, and the panel left after saying that there was nothing wrong.
In this way, Guo Zhengyang became even more determined. The people who had ‘wrongly accused’ him were all chased away, and their wages were split among them all.
In less than three years, the number of disciples who had fished for money in Mysterious Heavenly Dao City became fewer and fewer because there was nothing left to fish for. Many of them either returned to their sects or went on their own journeys.
Guo Zhengyang soon started luring some of his relatives and trusted aides over from his "parents." Ten years later, the entire Mysterious Heavenly Dao City was now under the control of the Sect.
Guo Zhengyang, on the other hand, had no other options left. Due to the cost of maintenance being paid only once every several decades, he could not wait any longer.
Therefore, they arranged for their relatives to stay in Mysterious Heavenly Dao City. These relatives were all outer sect disciples of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao, and had very powerful backers.
Guo Zhengyang had the toughest backing. One of his concubines was one of Ma Xingkong’s twin disciples, so Guo Zhengyang could definitely suppress them.
After luring in the four relatives, Guo Zhengyang gave them the title of the Four Great Aristocrat Clans, working together to develop the region.
One must know that in this area, there were countless Demon Beasts and rich minerals. Guo Zhengyang dragged them to make a fortune together, but as partners in development, they naturally had to pay for all the benefits.
In the end, the four great aristocrats had all invested almost all of their wealth after being coaxed in. They thought that they would be able to sit back and collect money in a few decades.
In the end, they quickly realised that they were overthinking things. Guo Zhengyang was the one in charge of the accounts, and Guo Zhengyang had always made excuses, saying that the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect would check the accounts every day, and would not dare to move a single inch of the resources.
But soon they could no longer hold on, because Guo Zhengyang was too dark. In this period of time, not only did he not give them a share of the profits, he even collected all kinds of taxes from them.
The four noble families were enraged. This was too deceitful, but Guo Zhengyang was not used to them being mad at them. He directly told them to listen to him if they wanted to stay, and to f * ck off if they didn’t.
Once they were kicked out, they would give up their status as nobles, which meant they had given up on partnering up. They did not dare to leave, but they were afraid of Guo Zhengyang’s backing, so they could only bear with it.
In the end, Guo Zhengyang continued to trick more and more people into coming. Every time a group of people came in, they would get a 3% share.
Furthermore, when they left Mysterious Heavenly Dao City, they would receive a bonus of up to fifteen percent.
The four great nobles had been trapped. In order to survive, they had no choice but to lure other relatives over to buy shares. In the end, more and more people were lured in.
Even the experts on duty were also their own people. Most importantly, they were tricked into coming in without even a salary, so even if they killed a magical beast, they would belong to Mysterious Heavenly Dao City. Under the strict threat of Guo Zhengyang, they did not even dare to run away, and could only eat and wait for their deaths every day.
This was also the reason why Guo Zhengyang was knocked unconscious. No one came up to ask, they all had stupefied expressions on their faces, because they were already numb to it.
When they found out that Long Chen was here to deal with Guo Zhengyang, they were so moved that tears almost filled their eyes. They wished that Long Chen would immediately kill this man who ate nothing but human flesh and bones, because only when Guo Zhengyang died would they be free.
Long Chen looked at the three hundred interspatial rings in his hand. Each of these rings was a hundred feet square and were filled with all sorts of treasures.
Weapons, armors, pills, materials, spirit stones, all sorts of resources were available. In particular, one of the rings made Long Chen’s heart beat wildly.
Chapter 1143 - Xuan Lord’s Techniques
This was because the interspatial ring was filled with spirit essence stones. It turned out that spirit stones were one of the hardest currency in this world. They would only rise in value and not devalue. Therefore, whenever Guo Zhengyang had the chance, he would buy a large number of spirit essence stones. Even if it was just one or two spirit stones, he would still buy them.
When Meng Qi was checking Guo Zhengyang’s soul, she found out that he had a hobby, which was to lie down on top of a pile of Source Spirit Stones and sleep for a while before relaxing.
Looking at the five hundred million spirit stones inside his spatial ring, Long Chen’s admiration for the Grand Master was like a torrential river that flowed endlessly.
No wonder before he came, he said that the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect was a little short on money, and had asked Long Chen to collect some. In terms of means, who could compare with the Xuan Lord?
A pig that had been raised for three hundred years, not only had it gained weight, it had attracted even more fat pigs, all of them from the Sect.
This meant that three hundred years ago, Master Xuan had already seen through Guo Zhengyang, the miser, and the seeds planted three hundred years ago were now full of fruits.
The embezzlement of resources from the Celestial Sect of Wonders only accounted for one-tenth of the total, while the remaining nine-tenths was earned by Guo Zhengyang over the course of 300 years. This investment was truly a windfall.
The mysterious master had already hinted that the spirit essence stones would all be returned to Long Chen and the other resources would be returned to the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.
After all, the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect didn’t give it directly to Long Chen. The Xuan Lord’s intentions were very clear. He wanted Long Chen to “embezzle” his own wealth and not mention the spirit essence stones.
Long Chen felt both admiration and gratitude towards the Lord Xuan. This was the kind of person who could turn the tide with a flip of his hand and turn the tide with a flip of his hand.
The value of spirit essence stones accounted for less than half of all the wealth. Because spirit stones were too precious, the flow of spirit stones wasn’t too big.
In actuality, the only reason why Guo Zhengyang could obtain so many spirit stones was because of his relationship with the Sect.
The more Long Chen thought about it, the more he felt that the Xuan Lord was playing too beautifully. Using the enemy’s people to earn the enemy’s money and to earn his own pocket; this was absolutely amazing.
"Long Chen, what should we do with them?" Meng Qi had a strange expression on her face. Everyone present had strange expressions on their faces.
"Let them go back. Even if they are spies, and have ulterior motives of sneaking into our Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, our Lord Xuan is kind and does not want to kill anyone."
After all, the relationship between the two sects is pretty good. Let them leave together and let the entire central continent see what is meant by magnanimity and tolerance. " Long Chen couldn’t help but speak with a serious tone.
Very quickly, the Guo father and son pair, as well as all the nobles, including the original guards, were all expelled from Mysterious Heavenly Dao City.
Ordinary people were extremely excited after being expelled. Some people even expressed their gratitude towards Long Chen. Finally, they were free.
After Guo Zhengyang woke up, he started crying hysterically, asking for Long Chen to return all his wealth, only to be knocked unconscious with a single slap, allowing those people to take him away.
In less than four hours, the entire Mysterious Heavenly Dao City had changed owners. Long Chen had now become the new City Lord.
“City Lord, may I ask if you need to sleep tonight?” Long Chen sat in the Mayor’s mansion, deep in thought. Suddenly, Tang Wan’er smiled playfully and said.
"Alright, stop messing around. Long Chen, what do we do outside?" Gao Xianyang and the others have already retrieved the only flying boat that could fly in the warehouse and brought them out to sea to hunt demon beasts. " Meng Qi said with a serious expression.
“Don’t we have five flying boats? Only one boat can fly?” Long Chen said.
“This Guo Zhengyang, I can’t believe he’s so stingy. He doesn’t even want to maintain the flying boat. The four flying boats haven’t been maintained for a long time, so many places have lost their function and are unable to fly.” Meng Qi said.
“It’s alright, Guo Ran is here. He’ll fix it.” Long Chen was quite at ease with this.
"Also, don’t be in such a hurry to go out hunting. The city is ours now, so even though it’s broken, we still have to protect it.
Let Su Mo, Mu Qingxuan, Hua Shiyu, Wang Zhen, and the rest hunt in the nearby regions. Once the flying boat is repaired, we can then head to the depths of the sea. " Long Chen said.
"What about us Dragonblood Warriors?"
“Go behind closed doors and refine spirit essence stones. Try your best to raise your cultivation base. Everyone, don’t be idle. I’ll go take a look at the defensive line of the city in a bit.”
After the preparations were made, Long Chen and Guo Ran flew out of the ancient city and went straight for the coastal city’s defensive line.
"Crack!"
Long Chen leaped onto the thousand-zhang tall city wall, then lightly patted the rocks on the dam and broke a large piece of it.
"This Guo Zhengyang is truly black-hearted. In order to save spirit stones, he did not even activate the dike protecting array. After hundreds of years, the entire earth has been corroded, just like bean curd." Guo Ran shook his head as he crushed a piece of rock.
Long Chen shook his head. In truth, this defense of the city had already reached its limit. Even if it was activated, it wouldn’t last for more than a few hundred years.
It was exactly because of this that the Xuan Lord allowed Guo Zhengyang to do whatever he wanted. The true function of this barrier was not to defend but to attack.
However, their lifespan had already expired and they could not withstand the recoil from the attack. At that time, the economy of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect was also in dire straits and they did not have the ability to overturn the 8 million mile dam, which would require a massive amount of manpower and material resources.
Before Long Chen had arrived, the Xuan Lord had agreed that the spirit stones would be given to Long Chen, but not for nothing. This time, the beast tide had erupted and Long Chen needed to protect his defenses to prevent the demon beasts from entering the mainland.
In that case, the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect would lose the ownership of this region. The Sky Martial Alliance would take back this region and let other powerful forces guard it. The resources of this generation would then belong to someone else.
Therefore, Long Chen himself was under a lot of pressure. If he took money from others, he would be in trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself.
"Now that the armor has been completed, you may have to suffer for quite some time. I need you to help me forge a large amount of items." Long Chen said.
"Boss, what are you going to create? Just one sentence." Guo Ran patted his chest in fear.
"I want you to create a batch of super explosion balls, the more powerful the better. Can you do it?" Long Chen muttered to himself for a moment.
“That’s not a problem, the materials are enough. However, I’m afraid that it will take some time.” Guo Ran said.
"Let me ask you, with your current strength, how powerful is an explosive ball with a diameter of three feet created?" Long Chen asked.
“Three feet in diameter. Then, I can easily draw over a hundred runes. With phoenix plume, gold, stone, ink, black iron, that’s enough. Once it explodes, it will cover an area of over a thousand miles.”
The area with the most concentrated power was around five hundred miles in diameter. If this area exploded, the rank 9 beasts would definitely die. If they went outside again, their power would be greatly weakened, "Guo Ran analyzed.
No matter if it was the beasts or the demons, in terms of combat power, they were inferior to the magical beasts. In a one on one situation, it was very easy for them to be killed in an instant by the magical beasts of the ninth step.
However, the most terrifying thing about demonic beasts was their numbers. Although most of their defensive power was covered by scales, in reality, their defensive power was far inferior to the magical beasts on land.
"How many explosive balls like this can you make in a day?" Long Chen asked.
"If I were to forge it with all my strength, in addition to inscriptions, there should not be more than 100 in a day." Guo Ran calculated.
This was already an astonishing speed. If it weren’t for the ancient forging platform, Guo Ran would have been able to forge ten of them in a day.
For ordinary people, being able to craft three a day would make them tired like dogs. Guo Ran had indeed become a grandmaster in forging.
"Boss, what are you planning to do?" Guo Ran asked.
“This defense is basically useless. If the beast tide comes, we won’t be able to defend against the army of demon beasts, so we are prepared to make a hole in the defense and lure the demon beasts over. This way, the killing range will be smaller and it will be beneficial for us.”
However, the defensive power of this city is now nil and useless. I plan to make Song Mingyuan and Li Qi activate the earth power to build another levee.
It slanted to form two guidance walls on both sides, turning the demon beasts charging at them into horns that guided them towards Mysterious Heavenly Dao City.
I plan to set up a death trap in the area along the way of Mysterious Heavenly Dao City and use your explosive ball to fill the area up as a backup. " Long Chen gestured.
“Boss, is the beast tide this exaggerated?” Aren’t we enough people? " Guo Ran said in disapproval.
"Is this called being prepared without getting into trouble?" "There are always accidents. If we leave a trump card, it will increase our chances of survival. This is not a joke." Long Chen said with a straight face. Guo Ran was being a little arrogant again. He no longer felt any sense of danger.
"Don’t think that it’s a waste. Even if we don’t use it this time, the exploding ball you made won’t be thrown away. In the future, there will still be some time when it’s useful.
"Alright, Boss, I understand." Guo Ran agreed and left.
Long Chen continued his inspection of the dike, and found that on both sides of the dike, there were natural barriers. Hundreds of miles high cliffs formed an endless stretch of cliffs, stretching out who knew how far.
He had no idea who the neighbors were. He scanned the area with his divine sense and found that there were many towers in the sea. The excavation had long since stopped.
Guo Zhengyang had spent a small amount of money to renovate these things. After he had tricked people into coming here, he no longer cared about these things anymore as he could only squeeze out more people in peace.
Guo Zhengyang’s confidence in this business was only a five-hundred-year-old commission issued by the previous Xuan Lord and Ma Xingkong’s backing. Yet, it was taken down before it could reach the fifth century.
Long Chen inspected the terrain a few times and drew a rough map before returning to Mysterious Heavenly Dao City.
Chapter 1144 The Third Sky of the Forging Platform
When Long Chen returned to Mysterious Heavenly Dao City, he saw that a portion of the Dragon Blood Warriors were patrolling back and forth. He couldn’t help but feel speechless.
"Who told you to patrol?" Long Chen asked.
“Boss, it’s big brother Gu Yang. He arranged for us to patrol.” A Dragon Blood warrior hurriedly responded.
“All of you can go back now. This broken city has been destroyed to such an extent that thieves have to leave with tears in their eyes. As long as they don’t lose anything, it’s fine. Other than the cultivation area and need someone to guard it, nothing else matters.”
Long Chen chased away all the Dragon Blood Warriors, and even Gu Yang was stubborn. Guo Zhengyang had licked all the wealth in Mysterious Heavenly Dao City clean, and he didn’t want to invite others to steal it.
Walking into the City Lord’s Mansion, Long Chen arrived at an underground array. The array was not big, only 100 feet in diameter. In the center of the array, there was a tall platform.
Long Chen placed all the storage rings he had taken from Guo Zhengyang aside from the one with the spirit essence stones on it.
After activating the formation, a ray of light shone down on the platform. The several dozen interspatial rings disappeared in an instant.
"Pa Pa Pa Pa … …"
Within the groove of the formation, hundreds of spirit essence stones exploded.
"The transfer fee is so expensive!"
Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. This was a special transportation formation that could only be used to transmit a small amount of items. It was usually used to transmit information in an urgent manner and couldn’t be used to transmit people.
However, dozens of spatial rings cost several hundred spirit essence stones. This was too much of a waste.
Anyway, everything had been handled according to the Xuan Lord’s words. If these things were lost in the transfer, then it would no longer be Long Chen’s business.
In addition to leaving behind dozens of disciples to be on guard, Long Chen’s other Dragonblood Warriors also began to cultivate in seclusion, thanks to the blessings of the eternal lamp.
Long Chen started to frantically absorb spirit essence stones again. Since he had nothing else to do in the past few days, it would take some time for Guo Ran to repair the flying boat.
Without a flying boat, there was no way to hunt from afar. People flew in the air and had no foothold. There were too many dangers.
In the area close to the sea, there weren’t many demon beasts, and with Su Mo and the others hunting them, it was estimated that there were even more people than demon beasts.
Long Chen started to madly absorb spirit essence stones. Now, Long Chen was no longer like the others; he was holding a spirit essence stone in one hand.
Furthermore, he had already consumed tens of thousands of spirit stones for the Thunder Dragon and Fire Dragon, and then fed them to him.
This was a terrifying absorption method. If it was anyone else, such a large amount of primordial spirit energy would rush into their body and their body would instantly explode.
For someone like Gu Yang, a Body Transformation cultivator could only draw ten spirit essence stones at the same time. It would be unbearable for his body.
But after feeding 500 million spirit essence stones to the Thunder Dragon and Fire Dragon, Long Chen could directly extract the energy from the Twin Dragons. This way, he wouldn’t need to refine them one by one.
Moreover, the speed of absorption could be controlled by one’s own hands. Now that the Thunder Dragon and the Fire Dragon were super powerful, especially the Thunder Dragon, it had completely absorbed the energy that Long Chen had absorbed during his tribulation.
Only when they were strong enough would Long Chen dare to use them to absorb spirit essence stones. The twin dragons were like two massive lakes, and with their cooperation, Long Chen was able to freely absorb the spirit energy from their bodies.
As the Yuan Spirit power crazily flowed into Long Chen’s body like a large river, the flower-like ancient runes on Long Chen’s immortal base quickly rotated and quickly formed a new rune.
As soon as that rune appeared, it began to greedily absorb the power of the elemental spirits and rapidly grew. When this rune reached the great perfection stage, a second one appeared.
With his first experience building a platform, Long Chen was now very familiar with it. This time, Long Chen didn’t calculate the consumption. He closed his eyes and started to cultivate.
Ten days later, an explosive sound came from Long Chen’s body. His Foundation Establishment immortal foundation trembled, and he entered the third layer of the platform.
This time, Long Chen was prepared and didn’t let out too much of a sound. He looked at the Foundation Establishment immortal altar in his body and couldn’t help but sink into deep thought.
Other people’s celestial altar, the first heavenly layer consisted of nine ancient runes combining into one base, the second heavenly layer, and eight ancient runes forming a second base.
It was a normal practice to cultivate immortals to form the shape of a conical pagoda.
However, Long Chen’s immortal altar was different. The first layer’s base was formed from thirteen runes, while the second layer was composed of thirteen primordial runes. The size of the runes was the exact same as the base.
The third layer still had 13 runes without any change. If this went on, then other people’s immortal foundation would be conical. As for Long Chen’s base, it would be a cylindrical immortal foundation.
“Forget it, let’s just continue cultivating whatever it is that we like!”
Just as Long Chen was about to continue cultivating, he suddenly cried out in alarm. He discovered that the spirit essence stones within the Thunder Dragon and Fire Dragon were already completely empty.
"Gone? “Five hundred million spirit stones just disappeared like that?” Long Chen’s face was filled with disbelief. After looking at it again and again, he finally accepted this fact.
500 million spirit stones was gone just like that, only increasing two realms. Long Chen was about to lose all hope. What would he be able to use to advance in the future?
If he gave all the spirit essence stones he had left now to Long Chen, he might be able to help him break through to the fourth level of the Refinement Realm and enter the middle stage of the pill forging stage.
But what about the future of the Dragonblood Legion? Long Chen was speechless. It seemed that his cultivation would have to slow down at this point.
"Crunch, crunch …"
Long Chen stood up and moved his body. A series of crackling sounds came from within his body. At that moment, the surging power within Long Chen’s body seemed to be on the verge of exploding out of control. Space began to slowly distort.
"What a powerful energy wave."
Long Chen felt the energy that came from the 108,000 life stars within his body. He felt as if his entire body was filled with strength, and he even had the impulse to smash through the heavens and earth.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen extended his hand and clenched it tightly. A simple clenching motion could cause the air to rumble.
“Alright, I admit it. I don’t feel that bad anymore.”
As Long Chen felt the wild energy within his body, the five hundred million spirit stones he had consumed caused him to feel much better.
Long Chen’s desire for money was growing more and more. It was no wonder that the Hua Yun Sect believed in the God of Wealth. Long Chen now believed in it as well.
Rich men were hard to do without money. Long Chen finally realized how hard it was to live without money.
Without spirit essence stones, Long Chen had the abnormal cultivation method supported by the twin dragons, but it was useless.
If he had enough spirit essence stones, Long Chen firmly believed that he would reach the peak of Forging Stage in less than three months. Unfortunately, this world didn’t have that many ifs.
After sighing with emotion for a while, Long Chen walked out of his secret room and appeared outside the City Lord’s Mansion. He discovered that Su Mo and the others hadn’t returned.
After asking in detail, he realized that Guo Ran had already repaired the flying boat and was out hunting in the past few days.
Because Long Chen had always been in seclusion, they didn’t wait for him. Su Mo, Mu Qingxuan, Hua Shiyu, and Wang Zhen each flew off in their respective flying boats.
As for Gao Xianyang, there was still no news of him. Long Chen also ignored him. As long as he was not disturbed, Long Chen would not bother to pay attention to them.
When Long Chen came out, he discovered that all the soldiers had already entered the 4th Layer of the Forging. Many had already entered the 5th.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened as an enormous figure appeared in front of Long Chen. Its speed was so fast that Long Chen didn’t notice it at all.
What had appeared in front of Long Chen was, shockingly, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. It was now over two hundred feet tall and its feathers were starting to grow and become more divine.
Right now, the aura coming from the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was equivalent to that of a Class 6 Magical Beast, but its lethality was far greater than that of a Class 7 Magical Beast.
"Brother Long!"
Wildie jumped down from the back of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. During this period of time, he had the best time chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
This was because the two of them were gluttonous. Before the flying boat was repaired, no one dared to go too far in fear of being besieged by the demon beast army.
However, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was different. Its speed was too fast, chasing after the clouds and lightning. Its reputation as a Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was not just for show.
Even if it was only a Class 6 Magical Beast, its talent for speed had already begun to awaken. Even Class 9 Magical Beasts wouldn’t be able to catch up to it.
The little guy needed a large amount of blood to eat, and Wildie also needed to keep eating. However, with Meng Qi’s consent, they were allowed to go out to hunt.
However, Meng Qi had told him that he was only allowed to feed the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow beasts that were below the seventh level. He was still in the Xiantian realm, so he couldn’t grow too fast.
Therefore, after they left, the Rank 8 beasts would all belong to Wildie. The smaller beasts would be the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow’s snacks.
However, the appetite of these two fellows was terrifying. No matter how much they ate, they just couldn’t eat their fill. Last time, Meng Qi had bought Wildie a jade bowl.
It was a spatial container that could store demon beasts in a bowl. This way, the thousands of demon beasts would be the size of a thumb in the bowl and Wildie would be able to eat them one at a time.
Currently, Wildie’s cultivation was not obvious, but some strange patterns started to appear on his body, as if he was undergoing some kind of transformation. His aura became more and more terrifying.
And chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was even more convenient. With its mouth wide open, the beast didn’t even have the chance to fight back. Thousands of beasts were sucked into its mouth. That was its innate ability — devouring.
Those demon beasts were all sucked into the stomach of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. They were all instantly killed and absorbed by the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
Long Chen looked at Widlie’s body and found that all of his cells had been activated. Every cell seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation.
Hearing Widlie say that he was extremely hungry and had to eat non-stop, Long Chen knew that this was a requirement signal for his body to evolve. It meant that Widlie could also have a breakthrough.
However, Widlie’s body was different from ordinary people. His method of advancement was also different. What Long Chen needed to do now was to let Widlie have her fill.
“Brother Long, there are too few rank 9 beasts nearby. I haven’t had enough to eat.” Widlie scratched his head in embarrassment.
After he ate the Class 8 demonic beast, he became hungry and felt very uncomfortable.
“It’s fine. Gather everyone and we will be going out to hunt.” Long Chen patted Widlie and comforted her.
Chapter 1145 - Little Cloud’s Strength
Above the Eastern Wastelands, a vast spaceship was slowly moving forward. "Long Chen, what’s going on? We’ve been on the road for two days, and yet, we haven’t seen any powerful demonic beasts attack? " Meng Qi’s beautiful eyes stared at the surface of the sea, her jade-like hands lightly bundled up her long hair as she asked with some doubt.
“I think it’s because a storm is brewing. This is a sign that the beast tide is about to break out.” Long Chen said with a serious expression.
This was because according to the past records, when demon beast hordes erupted, the demon beasts would go into hibernation to replenish their vitality.
However, the flying boat had already flown for a day and could be considered to have entered the edge of the ocean. Logically speaking, the demonic beasts here should still be active, but right now, they were frighteningly calm.
“Boss, what exactly is going on with this monster tide?” I still don’t understand why there are periodic explosions. " Gu Yang said in confusion.
"To put it bluntly, this is a way for the victors to survive. In fact, the Heaven realm and the ring-shaped sea are actually controlled by the demon beast race.
The demon beast race was an extremely terrifying race. They lived in the depths of the sea, so no one dared to provoke them. Even the strongest experts on the continent feared them.
In reality, the demon beasts that we are slaughtering right now are only inferior demon beasts. Their bloodlines are already impure, and the ninth step is their limit.
Only demon beasts that can grow to the Tenth Order and above are considered the real demon beasts. You should remember that we encountered a Tenth Order demon beast on our way here.
They were the rulers of the Sky Martial Continent, and just like the Sky Martial Continent, the Sky Martial Continent was also a place of cultivation.
However, there were simply too many demonic beasts in the surrounding seas. When the number reached a certain limit, it would affect the cultivation of the pure-blooded demonic beasts in the surrounding seas.
"Actually, this beast tide was triggered by the trend of those ruler of the demon beasts." Long Chen said.
Very few people knew about this secret. This was all told to Long Chen by the Xuan Lord, so he was mentally prepared.
“Heavens, they are able to control such a huge army of demon beasts. Doesn’t that mean they can easily destroy the human cultivators?” Gu Yang was shocked.
"It’s not that exaggerated. No matter how many demon beasts there are, they are still beasts after all. Compared to humans, they do not know how to refine pills, forge artifacts, create talismans, or set up formations.
In fact, the reason why the Demon Beasts purposely activated the monster tide was to reduce the number of Demon Beasts and to achieve a certain balance. Otherwise, if the number of Demon Beasts was too high, the Spiritual Qi in the Rings of the Sea would become thinner and would affect the interests of the Demon Beasts.
Therefore, when the Heaven Martial Circle activated the monster tide, it would give the warning to the human cultivators some time in advance, so that they would be ready.
In reality, this was a game of survival of the fittest. Whether it was for Siren or human cultivators, it was not a bad thing.
The Demonic Beasts, with the help of humans, destroying a portion of the existence of wasted resources. Humans, on the other hand, trained their disciples during battles and also harvested a large number of inner cores.
This was also the reason why the Sky Martial Alliance did not allow king level experts to enter the Sky Martial region to hunt.
Because I’m afraid that they will kill the pure-blooded descendants of demon beasts. This will enrage the rulers of demon beasts.
As Long Chen explained, he sprinkled some of the medicinal powder he had refined earlier into the sea. Those medicinal powder were the ones Long Chen had asked Meng Qi to remove the mixed beast blood from her pet’s body.
Demonic beasts were extremely sensitive to blood essence. After Long Chen refined it with medicinal powder, the smell of blood quickly spread through the water.
"Buzz!"
After enough time passed for an incense stick to burn, the surface of the sea rose up like a mountain. Countless enormous figures charged toward the group.
"A ninth level demonic beast!"
Seeing this, Widlie couldn’t help but be overjoyed. He was the first to rush out, summoning the Barbarian Blood Copper Body. He brandished his mace and smashed the head of a monster fish into pieces.
At the same time, a bright light shone out from the big bowl in his hands. The mountain-like strange fish was put into the bowl, and Widlie started chewing on it directly.
Everyone was shocked and amused at the same time. Just how hungry was Widlie? So impatient, everyone also made their moves and killed the beasts.
Rank 8 beasts were not of much use, but Rank 9 beasts were treasures all over them. They could be sold for money, especially the inner pellet, which was worth a lot of money.
Now, under Long Chen’s deliberate efforts, more and more rank 9 beasts were attracted over. The Dragonblood Warriors had all advanced to the Forging Stage. Killing these rank 9 beasts wasn’t difficult at all.
Soon, the sea water was dyed red by the blood of demon beasts. The smell of blood permeated the air, attracting more and more demon beasts. In an instant, huge waves surged on the sea’s surface as countless huge figures flew out from the bottom of the sea and attacked the group.
Long Chen stopped his flying boat on top of the battlefield and looked down at the fierce battles of the Dragon Blood Warriors. Widlie had killed one and ate another. In this short period of time, she had already eaten more than a dozen Stage Nine demon beasts, but she still felt that she hadn’t eaten her fill.
“Long Chen, what are you thinking about?” Meng Qi, who was standing next to Long Chen, couldn’t help but ask when she saw his frown.
"Meng Qi, do you know that after the blood of these Class 9 Magical Beasts flowed into the sea, all of the energy in their blood flowed into the sea?" Long Chen said.
“Long Chen, aren’t you a little too stupid? When blood essence flows into the sea, it will naturally be absorbed by the sea. Isn’t that normal?” Meng Qi chuckled.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I didn’t mean that. I was thinking that the Sky Martial Central Sea is a survival of the fittest with the help of humans.
Then is it possible that our world of cultivation also has the same problem? Isn’t it possible that we are also being pushed forward by a big hand? "
"This… I really haven’t thought about it. " Meng Qi was stunned. She had never considered such a question before.
Long Chen considered this question because when he was on the Eternal Road, he had gone deep into the ground with the Eastern Desolate Bell and seen the altar and the giant skeleton.
Although Eastern Desolate Bell didn’t say anything, Long Chen had a feeling that the Eternal Road would be controlled by someone just like the Celestial Circle Sea.
Then, would the Ancient Road be controlled, and would the Sky Martial Continent also know of it? If there really was someone who controlled Ming Yuan in the Sky Martial Continent, then what kind of existence was this person, could it be a god?
"Little Cloud, come back. Do not be greedy." Meng Qi was talking to Long Chen when she accidentally the Heaven-Devouring Cloud Sparrow ate a Class 8 Magical Beast. In the end, Meng Qi caught it.
Long Chen shook his head. This wasn’t something he should think about right now. The Central Region was so big. In the future, he would understand, so there was no need to think so much about it.
"Meng Qi, let Little Cloud eat it. There are no problems with its body now. When I refine some pills for it, I can make up for the loss of the Xiantian cultivator." Long Chen said to Meng Qi.
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, it looked like a greedy child. How could it not eat it?
Seeing that Long Chen had agreed, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow immediately let out a joyful cry and charged into the battlefield like a colourful bolt of lightning.
“This little brat, you only know how to pretend to be a good person?” Meng Qi’s beautiful eyes rolled back at Long Chen, but she didn’t give the order to chase down the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
Now that Meng Qi had taken care of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, she was able to make up for the lack of talent. However, Meng Qi was a cautious person, so she didn’t want the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow to eat too much.
Long Chen didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. Every time the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow acted cute and pitifully, Long Chen would say a few words for it. The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was very smart, it ran away the moment Long Chen spoke.
“Hey, hey, that’s a rank 9 beast.”
Meng Qi suddenly let out a scream as the corpse of a rank 9 beast shrunk and flew into the mouth of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
“Forget it, Meng Qi, you don’t need to worry about it. Little Cloud’s main body is in pursuit of the Cloud Swallowing Heavenly Bird. He is a descendant of the Immortal Ancient, and has his own legacy.”
If there is any danger, it will sense it for itself. As long as you restrict it this way, it will no longer be able to act on its own instinct. That will restrict its cultivation. " Long Chen advised.
“Well, I admit I’m worried.” Meng Qi thought for a moment and could not help but bitterly smile.
Long Chen held Meng Qi’s hand and said with a smile, "It’s because you promised Little Cloud’s mother that why you’re feeling pressured.
In reality, we are not gods. No one knows what will happen in the future, so let Little Cloud do as he wish.
Meng Qi understood Long Chen’s meaning. She doted on Little Cloud too much. This might not be a good thing for Little Cloud. She should give it more space and not restrict it.
"Buzz!"
After Little Cloud devoured a ninth level demonic beast, the colorful wings on his body lit up and his aura surged. Little Cloud’s body grew rapidly and actually grew to over five hundred feet long. His aura soared from the sixth level to the seventh level in an instant.
Meng Qi was shocked. Little Cloud was indeed a Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. That powerful rank 9 beast was swallowed by it, and it was digested in an instant, raising it to rank 7.
Furthermore, its aura was very solid and did not show any signs of being fake. This meant that it did not need to be worried about chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow because it could freely grow.
Seeing Little Cloud’s body swell up, Meng Qi let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt a bit ashamed. If it wasn’t for Long Chen, she might have been safe and restricted Little Cloud’s growth.
"Screech!"
After Little Cloud advanced to the Seventh Order, he suddenly let out a heaven shaking cry, flapped his wings, and charged straight towards a Ninth Order demon beast.
Meng Qi was startled. Little Cloud was only at the Seventh Order. Meng Qi’s jade-like hands had just formed a seal when Long Chen grabbed her.
"Sometimes trust is the best form of encouragement." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the cow-headed, fish-like rank 9 beast shot out two rays of bright light from its horns, chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
This was the full force of a rank 9 beast. Meng Qi’s face paled, but just as the light was about to hit Little Cloud, the wings on her body opened up and suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the ninth level demonic beast. He opened his big mouth and a green light shot out.
Puff.
The green ray pierced through the rank 9 beast’s head and killed it in an instant. It was then swallowed by the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
At this moment, the dozen or so Stage Nine demonic beasts had already surrounded the Heavenly Cloud Swallowing Sparrow. With a shake of its wings, it turned into a streak of rainbow light and disappeared into the clouds.
Chapter 1146 - Wangzhen Called for help
The speed was so fast that no one could catch the attacks of the rank 9 beasts. "Little Cloud, well done."
Long Chen loudly shouted. Suddenly, above the clouds, a clarion bird cry sounded out, as if responding to Long Chen’s praise.
A rainbow colored light fell from the sky like a meteor. It rapidly streaked across the sky, chasing after the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. It then went straight for a rank 9 beast.
"Boom!"
The huge rank 9 beast had a big hole punched through its body by the Heavenly Swallowing Sparrow. Everyone was shocked.
One had to know that the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was only a Class 7 Magical Beast, but killing a Class 9 Magical Beast was as easy as breathing.
Not everyone knew about chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. It was a legendary existence. Only Long Chen, Meng Qi, and Tang Wan’er knew about its identity.
Because chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow involves a terrifying clan of profound beasts, the fewer people who know Little Cloud’s identity, the better.
However, even Long Chen, Meng Qi, and Tang Wan’er were shocked by the frightening power of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
"The power of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow far surpasses our imagination. We need to let it go." Long Chen said as he watched Little Cloud who was in high pursuit in the demonic beasts and was fighting his way back and forth in the crowd of demonic beasts.
This was because they discovered that when they were chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, it was trying out different moves and perspectives while hunting the demonic beasts. It was instinctively practicing its hunting instincts.
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was as fast as lightning. The more it killed, the more powerful it became. All of the rank 9 beasts were swallowed by it.
In terms of eyesight, Long Chen and I are still far off from each other. Meng Qi couldn’t help but sigh in her heart when she saw the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow crazily devour a rank 9 beast.
When the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow killed the rank 9 beast, the tattoos on its body started to activate and crazily absorbed the power of the flesh. In the past, the tattoos on the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow body were in a state of slumber.
Although Meng Qi was a beast taming master, she didn’t know much about the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
Meng Qi hadn’t allowed the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow to grow too fast because she was afraid that it might be lacking in strength. However, she had forgotten that the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was no ordinary magical beast. It had its own legacy.
Meng Qi had already helped it fill up most of its missing energy. As for the remaining energy, it could be made up for by chasing the Heavenly Cloud Swallowing Sparrow.
After chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow to the seventh stage, the primordial runes were activated and it began to frantically absorb the power of his flesh and blood, replenishing the energy in his body. It was much better than using medicine to make up for it, so Meng Qi felt a little ashamed, she was too stubborn with her knowledge of beast tamers.
Although Long Chen wasn’t a Beast Master and didn’t know much about the habits of magical beasts, he could see that Meng Qi couldn’t see much.
“Little Cloud is fine, but what kind of monster is this Widlie? He ate so much, can’t his stomach hold up?” Tang Wan’er looked at Widlie and could not help but exclaim in shock.
It had already been a few hours, but after killing the Class 9 Magical Beasts, they had already collected the corpses and were waiting for their points to be exchanged.
But Widlie killed one with a smack and kept it in a bowl, eating it all in one go. In these few hours, other people had already harvested several hundreds of rank 9 beasts, and according to Widlie’s efficiency, that was at least ten times better than others.
Even now, they were still killing and eating one beast at a time. Everyone felt their scalps go numb. Every rank 9 beast was like a small mountain.
Even if one used a king’s artifact to shrink it down, it would only be a spatial binding, and it wouldn’t really be small. Once swallowed, it would return to its original size.
No one dared to eat a Stage Nine demon beast like that, because it would cause their body to explode. However, Widlie’s chomping on them one after another, and the crunchy crunching sound made people’s bones go cold.
"Widlie is also going through some kind of metamorphosis. He also needs a lot of flesh power, and a lot of it." Long Chen looked at Widlie.
Long Chen had also heard about the barbarian race from the Xuan Lord. The Xuan Lord had said that the real barbarians were only a legendary race. They couldn’t be completely trusted.
There was also a group of barbarians who were of mixed race. They were tall and were no different from magical beasts. They had become public enemies of the cultivation world because of their violent and bloodthirsty character.
Long Chen asked about it and later shut his mouth. He didn’t know much about the barbarian race. It was better that less people knew about Widlie’s identity.
But now, the cells in Widlie’s body had started to mutate. This meant that Widlie had also started to advance his cultivation. Because his cultivation path was different from everyone else’s, he had to rely on his flesh power.
However, even after eating over a thousand rank 9 beasts, his expression still remained unchanged. He continued to stick and eat nonstop, which was truly terrifying. Widlie’s stomach was like a bottomless pit.
Looking at Widlie who was eating non-stop, and then look again, along with the non-stop battles, the energy in his body became stronger and stronger, and his body became bigger and bigger as he chased after the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, Long Chen bitterly smiled.
After the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow ate a Rank 9 beast, it would fight fiercely for a while, absorbing the power of the flesh and blood, its body slowly growing bigger, and during the fierce battle, the ancient runes in its body started to circulate crazily, leaving the essence of the flesh and blood, expelling the impurities out of its body through battle.
This was a terrifying method of advancement. It increased during battles, and as it continued to devour, it continued to fight and improve without any flaws.
Long Chen watched the battles of the Dragon Blood Legion without taking any action. The flying boat was also in a state of preparation. Long Chen was afraid of encountering a Rank 10 Demonic Beast, so he prepared to escape at any moment.
Although they’d heard that at the moment when the beast tide was about to break out, a tenth level demonic beast wouldn’t appear, but who would dare to guarantee such a thing? It was better to be careful.
After three consecutive days of battle, the surface of the sea had already been dyed red by the blood of the demon beasts. Finally, the number of demon beasts had dwindled.
This meant that all the magical beasts in this area had been lured over and were all killed.
After three days and three nights of continuous fighting, even the combat abilities of the Dragon Blood Warriors were exhausted. On the third day, because of the continuous high intensity combat, many people were unable to concentrate, and many people were injured in the battle.
However, with the medical team here, it was still safe. Long Chen didn’t give the order to retreat, so everyone had to fight to the death.
A few times Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by Long Chen. The battle will was very important, and the more exhausted they were, the easier it would be for something to happen.
When the magical beasts no longer swarmed them like the tide, all of the soldiers let out sighs of relief. They sat down on the deck of the vessel, not even having the energy to move.
The Dragon Mark Warriors immediately fell asleep. They felt as if their bodies had been emptied.
Amongst the participants, Widlie and the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow were the most spirited. On Widlie’s bronze colored skin, faint runes lit up, and the aura on her body began to slowly spread out. It was extremely frightening, as if a dragon was hibernating within his body and was about to awaken.
The day before, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow had suddenly grown to a height of 30,000 meters. Now that it had become a Class 8 Magical Beast, its speed of advancement was simply too fast.
Long Chen quickly told Little Cloud to stop devouring the demon beasts because he discovered that the aura chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow started to fluctuate. This was a sign that its realm was unstable, so he couldn’t let it continue devouring the demon beasts.
Long Chen had concocted a few batches of pills for the Heavenly Cloud Swallowing Sparrow to stabilize its cultivation. During this period of time, it could kill demon beasts as snacks in the future, but it couldn’t eat them now.
The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had its own pride. Other than those that were close to it, it would only eat the demon beasts that it had killed with its own hands.
Having advanced to the Eighth Order, killing those demon beasts was as easy as cutting vegetables. Meng Qi had no choice but to stay with it and help it collect all the demon beasts it had killed.
At this time, everyone finally witnessed the terrifying pursuit of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. With a flap of its wings, runes began to circulate on its rainbow wings. Billions of swords of light shot out and the Class 9 demonic beasts were killed one after another.
He opened his mouth, and wherever the azure light passed by, all the demonic beasts within ten thousand kilometers of it would be instantly turned to dust.
However, after using this azure light once, it stopped chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow because the snacks were gone.
Even though Long Chen and Meng Qi had personally seen a Tenth Order Heavenly Cloud Swallowing Sparrow, they were still shocked by Little Cloud’s methods.
To have such a terrifying strength at the eighth step, this kind of strength had already surpassed the scope of Long Chen and Meng Qi’s understanding.
All of Meng Qi’s Rank 9 pets combined together to chase after the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, they might not be its opponent. It was very possible that all of them would be killed by the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, because not only was the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow combat power strong, its speed was also terrifying.
There were too many Class 9 Magical Beasts killed this time, and according to the rough estimate, there were at least tens of millions of them. Everyone’s Space Rings were filled to the brim, and there was nowhere to put them.
Long Chen threw the demon beast corpses that no one could store into the black soil of the Primal Chaos Dimension. Endless amounts of spiritual energy nourished the spruce and iron oaks. Very soon, the spruce and iron acorns grew to their peak.
A million miles of forest appeared within the Long Chen Chaos Dimension. Endless life force flowed through the forest, allowing Long Chen to finally have confidence. This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting hurt when fighting head on against others.
"Hmm?"
Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed. A pattern rapidly flickered on a jade token at his waist, emitting an ear-piercing alarm.
"Wang Zhen is in danger!"
Long Chen looked at the jade token. There was a dark red line on it, representing Wang Zhen’s team. Currently, this line was flashing rapidly. It was Wang Zhen who had sent out a distress signal.
If the other party was sending out a distress signal, as long as it was within a five million kilometer radius, they would be able to accurately pinpoint the location of the other party so that they could rescue him in time.
"How could that be? “Could it be that he encountered a Rank 10 Demonic Beast?” Meng Qi couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Meng Qi, Wan’er, watch the coordinates and head in this direction.”
Long Chen warned the two, then jumped onto the back of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow and shouted: "Little Cloud, activate your fastest speed and let me see what it means to chase after the clouds and lightning."
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow let out a clear cry and spread out its wings. Symbols circulated around its entire body as a astral wind surged. It turned into a streak of rainbow light and continued to sing in the sky. However, its figure had already disappeared in front of everyone.
Chapter 1147 - Heaven Supressing Sect’s Sneak Attack
“This idiot, why didn’t he bring us along?”
Seeing Long Chen and the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, Tang Wan’er couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. Logically speaking, he should’ve brought a few powerful helpers with him.
"Wang Zhen is asking for help. This is definitely not an ordinary matter. Even if there are a lot of rank 9 beasts, they can still fly the flying boat out.
Either they encountered a Rank 10 Demonic Beast or some other enemy. If it was any other enemy, Long Chen’s strength alone was more than enough.
If we were to encounter a Rank 10 Demonic Beast, there would be no point in going all out. A Rank 10 Demonic Beast was not something we could deal with.
When Long Chen encountered it, he had only used Little Cloud’s speed to lure it away and did not dare to face it head on. Therefore, Long Chen had gone by himself, and did not have the time to explain himself, so don’t complain. " Meng Qi advised.
“Big sister, no wonder Long Chen treated you so well and listened to everything you said. You know him too well.” Tang Wan’er said in a slightly jealous tone.
"You silly girl, even your sister is jealous. Stop fooling around and quickly turn the flying boat around. The coordinates of the Long Chens are all moving forward at full speed."
After Meng Qi finished speaking, she said to the crowd, "According to the speed of the flying boat, everyone still has four hours to rest. We should hurry up and recover your physical strength. Maybe a great battle will occur later."
When the crowd heard about the war, they all started to recover their physical strength. The disciples of the medical team spread out their wood elemental power and enveloped all the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Legion. A giant tree’s shadow formed in the sky and endless life force surged toward the crowd.
… ….
Long Chen laid on the back of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. He finally felt what it meant by chasing after the clouds and lightning. He couldn’t see anything clearly. The space was constantly warping and the astral winds surged. Even Long Chen couldn’t stand steadily and could only lie on his stomach.
Even so, that terrifying gale was still slicing towards Long Chen like a knife. Long Chen reckoned that even an ordinary Forging Stage powerhouse wouldn’t be able to withstand such terrifying power and would be blown away.
“Little Cloud, you’re the best.” Long Chen was never stingy with his praise, Little Cloud’s speed was truly terrifying.
It was several times faster than the fastest flying boat. It had to be known that the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow could increase its speed to its limit in a few breaths of time.
As for the enormous flying boat, it required a gradual process. To reach extreme speed, it would take at least an incense stick of time.
The flying boat had just started and the other people were already chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, this was the difference. Moreover, the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was only at the eighth step. Long Chen didn’t even dare imagine advancing to the ninth or tenth step.
Long Chen stared at the jade token. It said that he was quickly closing in on his target.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an explosive sound could be heard from a distance. In the time it took to take a single breath, a battlefield appeared on the surface of the sea in front of them.
Thousands of people in black robes covered their faces. Holding magic staffs in their hands, they cast endless spells to surround Wang Zhen and his twenty thousand disciples.
Wang Zhen’s flying boat had already been crippled from the collision and was unable to fly. The magic technique that filled the sky formed a huge encirclement that trapped them within. The endless flying swords, giant axes, and hammer runes fell from the sky as they ruthlessly attacked Wang Zhen’s group.
At this time, Wang Zhen summoned a giant Golden Beetle, with hundreds of millions of different kinds of bugs at the top, covering the entire space. He alone was able to withstand almost half of the enemy’s attack.
However, he had also paid an extremely heavy price. On the surface of the sea, the corpses of countless bugs were piled up like a mountain.
Even so, everyone was trapped in a desperate situation. Magical techniques blotted out the sky and covered the earth. They could not avoid this attack, and several thousand disciples had already perished.
Among this group of people, there were two terrifying sixth level divine beasts. Their attacks were too terrifying, Wang Zhen’s majority of his pets were killed by them, while their techniques passed through the protection of the bugs and landed into the crowd. Many disciples were instantly killed.
"Hahaha, the idiots of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect, are they still going to struggle in death? I think it’s better if you give up now, so that you don’t have to be afraid. " A masked man among the crowd across from him shouted.
“Bastard. You’re the bastards of the Sky repressing sect. I remember your voice. You’re that beast that fought with Hua Shiyu. His mouth is filled with excrement.” Wang Zhen was furious.
From the very beginning, he suspected that this group of people were most likely from the Sect. With staffs in their hands, they were all arcane ranged attacks, and they were all masked, which was really suspicious.
Furthermore, they were extremely familiar with the attacking methods of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect disciples. The moment they appeared, they immediately launched a group attack, causing the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect disciples to be forced into a passive position.
Now that he was feeling proud of himself, Wang Zhen was able to recognize someone who had spoken. That person’s voice was too disgusting, it was hard to not remember.
After that person opened his mouth, he immediately regretted it and did not utter a single word. Instead, he continued to attack with all his might.
"Everyone, pay attention. Attack with all your strength. Leave no one alive." A sixth level Skywalker coldly shouted.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the Sixth Tier Skywalker Sect disciple coldly shouted, all of the disciples of the Heaven Seizing Sect attacked with all their might, bombarding the area with spells.
Wang Zhen’s face could not help but change, the strongest beetles that he summoned, could not stand such a terrifying attack and were all killed.
At this rate, all the beetles were dead. Without their protection, they were soon to be slaughtered as well.
The disciples of the Sky Subduing School were too despicable. Before the disciples of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect could understand what was going on, they had already been surrounded and set up a death trap. Now, it was impossible for them to escape.
Wang Zhen could not help but regret and hate himself for being an idiot. If Long Chen was here, he could immediately see through the enemy’s plan and would have attacked first, instead of choosing to defend first and forcing everyone into a desperate situation.
Although they had just sent out a distress signal, the distance was too far. It would take at least four hours for Long Chen to arrive, but based on the current situation, they wouldn’t even be able to last an incense stick of time.
Now that Wang Zhen had summoned his most powerful queen bug, he could only rely on the queen bug’s strong defense to protect himself from the terrifying sixth grade Skywalker, but he was unable to kill the enemy.
“You idiot from the Heaven Supressing Sect, don’t get cocky too early. When senior brother Long Chen finds out the truth, you’ll die even worse than we do.”
Brothers, don’t be afraid. Since we have embarked on the path of cultivation, we already knew that there would be a day like this when senior brother Long Chen would definitely avenge us … " A disciple shouted loudly.
“Hahaha, I’m very busy, but I don’t have time to avenge all of you. It’s better for you to take revenge yourselves!”
Suddenly, a thunderous laughter shook the sky. All the disciples could not help but be ecstatic upon hearing this voice.
"Senior brother Long Chen!"
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, the air exploded as a green ray of light pierced through the heavens and headed straight for the group of disciples.
"Quickly dodge!"
Even without anyone reminding them, they would still try to dodge. However, just as they were dodging, they suddenly realized that the void had been locked down. They couldn’t move, and it was already too late for them to use their skills.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, a giant beam of light that was a thousand meters in diameter shot through the crowd. The disciples that had been struck by the beam of light instantly exploded into smithereens.
"Screech!"
A loud bird cry resounded throughout the world. At this time, the figure of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow appeared in the eyes of the people in the crowd.
That was the blow from the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow with its innate divine ability. One strike killed more than a hundred disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect.
As for their encirclement, it immediately created two huge holes in it. As the disciples were killed, the magical formation they had previously set up instantly collapsed.
“You little bastards of the Heaven Supressing Sect, I didn’t go looking for you. You actually came looking for me. Then don’t blame me for being impolite. Brothers, let’s kill everyone on our defense.”
As Long Chen shouted, all of the disciples of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect who were trapped in the formation turned red with rage. Facing the previously arrogant disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect who were starting to panic, the disciples roared and charged at them.
Long Chen had already jumped down from the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow and was on his way to kill the two cultivators. These two must be the last disciples of the Sect. Their cultivation bases were at the eighth level of the Refinement Realm and they were very powerful.
"Flee!"
The two of them looked at each other. They didn’t even fight and just ran away. They didn’t even care about the flying boat and the other disciples as they ran in two different directions.
Puff.
A bloody saber shadow descended from the sky like a river of stars. Without any warning, it slashed down on one of the sixth-grade Skywalker. That person was greatly shocked; even though he had conjured his shield at the last moment, he was still smashed into smithereens by the saber.
“Hehe, I can release the third move of the Splitting Heaven’s in an instant, it’s worth the money.” Long Chen held the blood drink on his shoulder. As he looked at the blood fog that had exploded in front of him, he couldn’t help but sigh.
The current him could finally do what Feng Xinglie had done back in the Eastern Wasteland, when he had performed the third movement of the Splitting Heaven’s, with ease.
27 acupoints instantly pierced through. The terrifying third move of the Splitting Heaven’s Realm could instantly be launched. Without the guidance from the previous gathering of energy, the opponent simply didn’t have any time to prepare. This was the most practical killing move.
If it was in the past, when Long Chen used the third move, he would need to first use his aura to lock down his opponent. Otherwise, once the big move was completed, the other party would already be back home eating.
When the opponent was locked onto, if the opponent was unable to break free of the lock, then the opponent would also unleash the strongest attack.
However, there was no need to lock onto his instantaneous movement, especially when the opponent was running away. By the time the opponent realized how terrifying his attack was, it was already too late.
Long Chen looked at the other Tier 6 Skywalker that was already charging towards him. Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly made his move. His body almost moved as he appeared behind that Tier 6 Skywalker.
In order to buy more time for him to escape, this shield was covered with special runes. After the shield exploded, the opponent’s attack power would superimpose on his speed, allowing him to instantly reach the pinnacle of his speed, which would be beneficial to his escape.
Unfortunately, he had misjudged the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow strength. Symbols appeared on its sharp claws, passing through its protective barrier and fiercely grabbing onto his body.
Puff.
The huge claw struck his body. He didn’t even need to clench it before the man exploded into pieces.
Chapter 1148 - Timely arrival and assistance
"What kind of attack is that, able to ignore arcane defense."
When Long Chen saw this, he couldn’t help but be shocked. If chasing the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow shattered that defense, then Long Chen wouldn’t be so shocked. After all, he was the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
However, when the claw of the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow struck the shield, the shield seemed to have been isolated by a mysterious force. It passed through the shield and slammed into the body of the Tier 6 Skywalker.
The techniques of the disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect were powerful, but their bodies were weak. This was their weakness, and they were instantly killed by the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow.
Long Chen had no time to think about this at the moment. After a brief moment of shock, his figure moved and the blood-red blade in his hand slashed out, attacking the fleeing disciples who had already started to flee.
With the arrival of Long Chen, the situation immediately reversed. The two experts instantly lost their lives. The crowd no longer had the mood to continue fighting and quickly ran away.
However, with the Heaven-Devouring Cloud Sparrow, escaping was a type of delusion. The Heaven-Devouring Cloud Sparrow flapped its wings, and like a rainbow-coloured meteor, it flew around and killed those who had already escaped.
“Don’t kill us. We’re disciples of the Sect. If you kill us, the Sect won’t let you go …”
Puff.
A disciple of the Heaven Supressing Sect was killed by a disciple of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect just as he was shouting. That disciple was even cursing loudly.
“Fuck, you can just kill us, but we can’t kill you?”
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow was locked down on the outside, while Long Chen, the top assassin, was inside. In front of Long Chen, no matter how you tried to defend or attack him, he would be killed instantly.
Soon, there were only two hundred plus disciples left. Originally, there weren’t many disciples left. They had relied on their combined attacks to trap the crowd and almost kill them all.
Now that they no longer had a combination attack technique, although the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect’s base power was not as good as the disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect in a one on one situation, the number of disciples in the sect was more than ten times that of the disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect.
"Long Chen, do you still recognize this bastard?"
Soon, the battle ended. More than a thousand disciples of the Sect had been killed, but one of them had been captured alive by Wang Zhen.
"Pa!"
Long Chen looked at that person and gave him a big slap, nodding his head: "Yes, I will hand it over to Hua Shiyu. I believe that the Heavenly Maiden Alliance has many talents and will have many methods to ensure their survival. You guys better not have torment her in case you torment her death would be a waste."
"Long Chen, do you want to search his soul?" Wang Zhen said.
Soulsearch would show them why they were attacking the disciples of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect. This was too sudden.
Long Chen shook his head. "These core disciples are all protected by the sect’s divine tools, just like how we received the blessings of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Tower back then.
Others might not be able to find out their secrets through soul-searching, but if he searched them forcefully, it would be no different from killing them. However, he would not be able to obtain what he wanted.
Right now, time is of the essence. I’ll give you a path. Take your people and reunite with the Dragonblood Army.
If I guessed correctly, you’re not the only one being attacked. I’ll go take a look at Hua Shiyu first. "
After Long Chen finished speaking, he called for the Heaven-Devouring Cloud Sparrow. The Heaven-Devouring Cloud Sparrow let out a clear cry and disappeared in a ray of light.
Watching Long Chen leave, a hint of desolation appeared on Wang Zhen’s face. In terms of being a leader, he could not hope to see Long Chen’s back.
“Long Chen is the true commander.” At this moment, Wang Zhen couldn’t help but express his feelings.
"President, Long Chen is the commander-in-chief and you are also the commander-in-chief. In our hearts, you are equally outstanding."
“For us, you sacrificed your pet that you’ve cultivated for so many years and even risked your life to fight against the two sixth grade Skywalkers. Just that alone is enough for us to follow you, even if we have to choose again, we will still follow you.” A disciple shouted.
As a rare insect cultivator, Wang Zhen’s pets were his life insurance. However, in order to save everyone and reduce the number of casualties, Wang Zhen’s pets were almost all dead. This was enough to move everyone.
“Good, good brother, we won’t speak any pretentious words between us. Come, let’s meet up with the Dragon Blood Legion.”
Seeing the fervent gazes the disciples threw at him, Wang Zhen was truly touched. Originally, his temperament was a bit cold, and he had never submitted to anyone in his entire life.
He didn’t have any ambitions when he founded the Myriad Worms Guild, nor did he even think about competing for supremacy. It was just that when the core disciples needed to be established, he had never put his heart into managing it.
But later, Long Chen changed his view of life. This was the first time he had seen a leader become brothers of life and death with every subordinate. Every disciple in the Dragonblood Legion was willing to follow Long Chen and risk their lives at any time.
Wang Zhen was greatly shocked by Long Chen’s charisma, but at the same time, he felt ashamed. He felt that he was not a qualified general.
However, today was different. He could feel the trust and support from everyone. He also had a group of blood brothers. This moved him the most.
Wang Zhen led his men to the designated route to cooperate with the Dragon Blood Legion. Meanwhile, Long Chen had already brought the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow in pursuit to where Hua Shiyu was.
Fortunately, the two sides weren’t that far apart from each other. They chased after the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow with extreme speed and arrived very quickly.
"Long Chen, why have you come?" Hua Shiyu was very surprised to see Long Chen arrive.
"My Dragonblood Legion is made up of men. Life is too boring. Hehe, you understand." Long Chen landed on the flying boat and laughed.
Long Chen allowed the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow to soar into the sky and hide itself. Perhaps he had come too early; this would be for the best.
Hua Shiyu clearly did not know what had happened. Only Long Chen mother’s token could receive a distress signal, while Hua Shiyu and Wang Zhen’s jade tokens were all sub tokens. They could only sense the other party’s location but not receive a distress signal.
There was no helping it, if both the child and mother could send out distress signals to each other, then the effective range would be greatly shortened. In order to extend the effective range, it could only be set in this way.
“Be careful that Meng Qi and Wan’er will get even with you!” Hua Shiyu would never put on airs towards any man, but towards Long Chen, she was different. She started to joke with him.
“Haha, I’m not afraid. The two of them don’t know anyway.” Long Chen chuckled.
It was unknown if it was because of the touch and grab from her last time, but Hua Shi Yu unexpectedly became a lot more passionate, which surprised Long Chen a little.
As soon as Long Chen arrived, the women of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance immediately exploded and rushed over.
This made Hua Shi Yu extremely angry: "Can’t you guys have something important to do? Not even killing demon beasts? You don’t even want such a good chance to earn points? "
"Long Chen is the most outstanding person in our Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect. If any of his sisters are chosen by Senior Brother Long Chen, then the points would all be for nothing. Hehe!" Immediately, a young girl retorted.
Although Hua Shiyu was extremely fierce towards outsiders, especially towards men, she was very considerate towards her own people. After spending so much time together, these women had already figured out Hua Shiyu’s character and were not afraid of her at all.
"Senior brother Long Chen, since when have you conquered our chief? This way, all of the beauties in our Heavenly Maiden Alliance can be freely chosen to serve you." A girl who was especially bold shouted such a strong slogan.
Long Chen was dumbfounded. Was there really such a good thing? Conquering one would result in tens of thousands of beauties waiting to sleep with him? He absolutely couldn’t have such thoughts, but if he didn’t, wouldn’t he be worse than a beast?
Hua Shiyu’s pretty face immediately turned red as she tried to find the culprit who shouted so wildly just now. However, that young girl was also very intelligent. After she shouted, she ran, causing quite a few girls to burst into cheers.
"Hahaha, all the women of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect are here. This is really great. Today, none of you should even think about escaping. Tonight, all of us will have a good time here. "Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a shout rang out. It was unknown when, but it was unknown when, but a huge flying boat had quietly appeared in front of them.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, space trembled as countless figures appeared in the air. There were actually more than 10,000 of them. Everyone waved their staffs, and a dome of light appeared in the sky, sealing off the surrounding space for a thousand miles.
At the same time, the sea surface was covered by a layer of frost, forming a huge icicle that sealed the entire world.
"The girls of the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect have come out to receive our guest."
Just as the Heavenly Maiden Alliance disciples were panicking, a group of people appeared outside the light barrier, looking down on them.
Long Chen’s eyes narrowed the moment he heard the person who shouted. He was once again familiar with this person. This guy was the one who had fought against Tang Wan’er back then and had an extremely vicious mouth.
Although his face was covered, his voice didn’t hide anything. Long Chen immediately recognized him.
However, Long Chen recognized him, and most of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance’s disciples also recognized this voice.
“Bastard, you’re that bastard disciple of the Sky Sect. Don’t think that we won’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a mask.” The female disciples of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance all called out.
Long Chen secretly shook his head. Perhaps the other had done it on purpose, to let everyone recognize the other’s identity so that they would think this was just a fight and not a massacre.
Long Chen realized that neither Hua Shiyu nor Zhao Ziyan was aware of the severity of the problem. At this moment, when everyone was cursing, those disciples were frantically strengthening the barrier.
If at the beginning, when the barrier was just formed, everyone would have attacked with all their might, and there would have been a chance for them to destroy the barrier.
Unfortunately, this opportunity was fleeting. The crowd had already guessed the identity of the other party but had forgotten that they were strengthening the death trap.
Long Chen felt helpless. Perhaps Wang Zhen was also fooled like this back then. The other side had set up a death trap while everyone was still in shock. By the time everyone understood, it was already too late.
Long Chen was hidden in the crowd, and no one outside saw him. At this moment, a figure appeared outside the barrier, causing Hua Shiyu and the rest’s expressions to change.
Chapter 1149 - Fighting Han Zhenyu Again
That person wore a cloak and hid his face under it, making people unable to see his true face. Also, his cloak was a special protective equipment that could block people’s spiritual awareness.
When they saw this person appear, the expressions of Hua Shiyu, Zhao Ziyan, and the others all changed.
"Han Zhenyu!"
Everyone was shocked, they never thought that Han Zhenyu would appear here.
"Phew!"
He lifted the cloak with his large hand, revealing the centipede-like scalp. It was none other than the number one expert among the younger generation of the Celestial Sect, Han Zhenyu.
At that time, Han Zhen Yu’s cultivation had already reached the 3rd Layer of Refinement, but today, he actually broke through to the 7th Layer. Even through the protective barrier, his terrifying aura was enough to make people tremble in fear.
Han Zhenyu was a seventh-grade Skywalker, so he had an instinctive suppression toward low-grade Skywalker. Now that he had just released his aura, everyone felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts, making them unable to breathe.
“If you don’t want to die, then surrender obediently. We don’t want your lives. We want an explanation from the Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect.” Han Zhen Yu coldly said.
"Hmph, what are you trying to say? You came to the territory of our Mysterious Heavenly Dao Sect to ambush us. You are obviously just deliberately provoking us, yet you want to seek an explanation from our sect?" Hua Shiyu coldly replied.
Long Chen refused to show his head and hinted at Hua Shiyu to talk to him and see if he could get some useful information out of him.
“Since you all wish to die, then don’t blame me for ruthlessly destroying flowers.” Han Zhen Yu wrinkled his brows and extended his hand. The Seven Stars Reflection Symbol Sea at his back burst forth, causing the heaven and earth to tremble.
“Senior brother Han, these are all beauties. It’s too much of a pity to kill them, can we …” The disciple that had once fought with Tang Wan’er pleaded.
“I’ll give you an incense stick of time. If you can’t take them all down, then kill them all.” Han Zhen Yu muttered to himself for a moment, and looked at the disciple.
“Haha, many thanks to Senior Brother Han Zhenyu. Don’t worry, the most beautiful one is yours.” The disciple shouted.
Hua Shi’s tone was livid. She simply couldn’t imagine why a fellow righteous sect disciple would be so despicable.
What she didn’t know was that the disciples of the Sect didn’t cultivate Daoist magics, they cultivated magical arts, and they didn’t have high requirements for the fleshly body. They cultivated refined soul power, so they didn’t put up a fight.
In addition, the bodies of the disciples of the Sky Severing Sect were especially weak. This was a fatal blow to any man.
Every man, who doesn’t want to have a strong body? However, they didn’t. Although their techniques were powerful and their combat prowess valiant, it couldn’t make up for the inferiority complex in their hearts.
Humans with low self-esteem would usually display their strength in front of others to conceal the weakness in their hearts.
Therefore, all the disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect were extremely arrogant, and liked to look down on others with their noses. Their mouths were filled with mockery and scorn to show just how powerful they were.
Apart from scorn and mockery, they also had another way of finding their own pride, and that was with women.
When they were conquering women, they would have a type of psychological comfort, especially when they were strong. The stronger they conquered, the more proud they would be.
Therefore, most of the disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect were pretending to be evil. To put it bluntly, their hearts were a little twisted, just a little better than the eunuchs in the palace. However, the advantage was limited.
Now that they saw that the Heavenly Maiden Alliance was filled with women, their spirits were lifted and their eyes were lustful. Some parts of them had even started to get restless. It was only by conquering powerful women that they could feel their man.
"Brothers, it all depends on you guys whether or not you can live a carefree and carefree life. Make your move with all of your strength — Soul Shackles."
Following the cries of the disciples, the tens of thousands of disciples waved the magic staff in their hands, and over ten thousand illusory spirit beasts appeared on the protective shield in the sky.
Wolf, worm, tiger, leopard, bird, fish, countless numbers. Each person commanded a spirit creature with symbols on it to attach itself to the barrier.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the barrier lit up, and the world started to resonate. Ten thousand beasts began to roar, and even though the flying boat had activated its defenses, everyone still felt like they were going to faint from the shockwave.
This was a type of sonic wave attack. Everyone was trapped within the formation, and the sonic wave surged back and forth within the formation. As the disciples of the Sky Severing Sect cast their magic, the sonic wave attack became stronger and stronger.
When the disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect looked at the female disciples, who were covering their ears with expressions of pain and fighting with all their might, all of them revealed perverted smiles.
They didn’t even notice that a huge figure was slowly approaching them. At the same time, a green ball of light slowly formed in the air. The ear-piercing sonic boom was concealed by the sound waves from the spell.
“Han Zhen Yu, long time no see, how’s your face?”
Just as the disciples of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance were unable to resist the sonic wave attack, Long Chen suddenly appeared from the crowd. He stood in the air and shouted out.
Long Chen’s voice was accompanied by a strange power. It shook the void, causing it to rumble like the roar of a dragon or the roar of a tiger. His voice was even more tyrannical than the sound waves.
Long Chen didn’t know how to use sound waves to attack. He spat out the sound waves using his spiritual energy, causing the disciples who were casting magic to feel their eardrums ring. They couldn’t hear anything anymore.
When Long Chen appeared, the pupils of all the disciples of the Sky Law School shrank. Han Zhenyu’s expression also changed. He never thought that Long Chen would actually be hiding in the crowd. An inexplicable uneasiness rose in his heart.
"Not good, quickly dodge." Han Zhen Yu suddenly shouted.
Unfortunately, those disciples were shaken by Long Chen’s voice and were unable to hear Han Zhenyu’s voice.
"Boom!"
An enormous green ball of light collided against the barrier, and the barrier instantly shattered. At the same time, the green light also exploded, and an endless amount of pressure quickly spread out.
Originally, the disciples had been on different positions of the shield, casting magical techniques. However, wherever the attack passed, all of the disciples in the half-circle area with the green light at the center were instantly killed.
As for those disciples who were on the other side, their minds were shaken by the explosion of the barrier as fresh blood wildly sprayed out.
This was an attack launched by the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow. Over ten thousand disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect had disappeared. This attack was simply too terrifying.
The Heavenly Maiden Alliance’s disciples didn’t understand what was going on, but Long Chen had already rushed towards Han Zhenyu, his hand holding the Blood Drinking Saber breaking through the sky as he swiftly chopped down with his blade.
“Han Zhenyu, let me see how much you’ve improved recently. How dare you come here to seek death?”
"Boom!"
Han Zhen Yu saw that Long Chen’s blade was about to cut down, sealing the sky and locking the earth. He did not dare to hesitate and hastily brandished his golden sword.
As the swords and sabers clashed, Han Zhen Yu was sent flying by Long Chen’s saber. Han Zhen Yu was startled. He had already stepped into the late stage of Forging Stage. He had originally thought that with his superior cultivation, he could suppress Long Chen in terms of strength.
However, in his eyes, he had underestimated Long Chen’s strength. Long Chen was only at the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage, but these three levels had consumed more than 550,000,000 spirit stones.
Long Chen activated his 108,000 life stars and circulated his spirit essence. Even Long Chen himself didn’t know how strong he was.
Long Chen turned his head towards Hua Shiyu and the others who were still in a daze, and said, “Kill this group of people with all your might, leave none of them alive. Don’t worry about those who escape, Little Cloud will chase them down, and I will go kill that idiot Han Zhenyu.”
After Long Chen said this, he turned into a streak of light and rushed towards the distant Han True Feather. At this time, Han Zhenyu had opened the Seven Star Reflection Symbol Sea’s phenomenon, and a golden giant appeared behind him, holding a giant golden sword.
The giant golden sword in its hand was the exact same king grade long sword that he had used before. This matter had actually been given to it.
“Humph, I’ll let you see my Golden Puppet — the power of a Golden War General.”
With a cold shout, Han Zhen Yu flew into the space between the eyebrows of the golden giant. His hands formed a seal, and he sat cross-legged inside the head of the golden giant.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the golden giant brandished his sword and shook the sky. The golden giant let out a sneer, “Long Chen, this is the spell I just learned. I’ll use you as a sacrifice today. You’ll be the first person my golden general kills.”
Long Chen was slightly surprised. This Han Zhen Yu had fused with the golden giant and was now in control of its massive body. This was the first time Long Chen had ever seen this kind of technique.
"Die!"
The golden giant roared, and swung his giant golden sword at Long Wu Chen.
"The one who will die will be you!"
Long Chen sneered, and a divine ring appeared behind his back. Four stars revolved in his eyes as he faced the giant golden sword with the blood drink in his hands.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, the void shattered. The huge waves of the ocean swallowed up the surrounding space, forming a huge tsunami that charged towards the surroundings.
On the other side, the Heavenly Maiden Alliance disciples were engaged in a wild battle. Seeing the incoming tsunami, they hurriedly used their spirit energy to protect themselves.
However, they soon discovered that the disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect were hastily raising their shields to block the tsunami. They were actually unable to attack.
“Their bodies are weak, let’s attack with all our strength!”
The eyes of one of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance’s women lit up as she suddenly shouted. She actually ignored the surrounding tsunami of power and used all her strength to slash at a disciple of the Heaven Supressing Sect.
“Bastard, you’re crazy! You’ll die too!” the disciple yelled.
“Let’s see who dies!”
The female disciple of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance ignored that person and continued to attack with all her might. However, her sword managed to shatter that person’s shield, and in that instant, the two of them were struck by the waves.
As for that Heaven Supressing Sect disciple, he was directly smashed into smithereens by the tsunami. The eyes of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance’s disciples immediately lit up. This was a good opportunity.
One after another, they ignored the tsunami and attacked the disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect with all their might. In the end, under the attacks of both sides, the disciples of the Heavenly Maiden Alliance were only seriously injured.
There were many disciples of the Heaven Supressing Sect whose souls flew out and prepared to escape. However, they were killed by some female disciples using soul arts. Their souls were completely destroyed.
Hua Shiyu and Zhao Ziyan had used all of their power to kill the disciples of the Sect. Each of them had to defend against hundreds of attacks from the disciples of the Sect. It had to be said that the disciples of the Sect were indeed powerful.
“Splitting Heaven’s, third move!”
The blood in Long Chen’s hand flowed out and he hacked down heavily on the giant golden sword.
