Chapter 757 - Dragon’s Might

"Soul Summoning Lock!"
Seeing Long Chen’s saber come down, Meng Qi used all of her soul power to form tens of thousands of soul chains above the head of the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix. They instantly locked down the body of the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix…
Originally, this Soul Luring Lock came from the Soul Guiding Technique, which was also the treasure Meng Qi had found on the Heavenly Stairway. It was a technique that used the soul to lock down the surrounding space. It was very exquisite.
However, if he wanted to use this technique to lock down a Class 7 Magical Beast like the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, the effect would be minimal. It wouldn’t take more than a single breath of time, but Meng Qi wanted this one breath of time.
"Boom!"
An enormous blood-red blade shadow landed heavily on the head of the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, causing an explosive sound. The Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix was hacked to the ground by the blade, causing the ground to shatter.
When this saber solidly cut into the head of the Crimson Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, Long Chen couldn’t help but rejoice. Meng Qi really knew how to cooperate.
"Bang!"
With an explosive sound, the Scarlet Eye Holy Blood Phoenix lying on the ground suddenly flapped its wings and stood up. Long Chen’s heart sank to the bottom.
At this time, the eyes of the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix became even redder. On top of its head, a long bloody wound appeared, even revealing its bones as blood flowed out.
However, what shocked Long Chen the most was that his saber had clearly cut into the center of his head. How could it have missed?
“It’s the Saint Blood True Feather, I’m really stupid!”
Long Chen suddenly remembered that above the head of the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix, there was a Holy Blood True Feather. That was the place where the power of the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix had gathered throughout its life.
This made Long Chen regret his actions endlessly. If Long Chen wasn’t so greedy and didn’t want the blood phoenix’s life, he would have cut off one of its wings instead.
If that was the case, then he and Meng Qi would have a chance to escape. But now, not only was the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix not dead, it couldn’t even be considered seriously injured.
"Double Dragon Strike!"
All of Long Chen’s strength had been sucked out by Split the Heavens, but he hadn’t been able to kill the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix. Currently, the only skills he had left were Lei Long and the Long Hao.
This time, Long Chen was smart. He didn’t have any delusions of killing a red-eyed sacred blood coloured phoenix. He only hoped to injure it and then happily flee for his life.
Lei Long and Long Hao roared. The two dragons intertwined as they charged towards the Scarlet Sacred Blood Phoenix with endless pressure. Their target was the wings of the Scarlet Sacred Blood Phoenix.
The Sacred Blood True Feather on top of the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix’s head stood up once again and turned into runes that filled the sky. It transformed into a huge arrow several hundred meters long that flew straight towards the two dragons.
"Boom!"
The entire world was about to collapse, and Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backwards. Although Meng Qi was far away and had the defense of her glorious feathered robe, she was still sent flying. Her face was pale, and blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth.
Long Chen suddenly shook his arms. Lei Long and the Long Hao flew back on their own. To Long Chen’s surprise, Lei Long and the Long Hao were currently dispirited. This strike had consumed a great deal of their source energy.
The smoke and dust in the sky dispersed, and Long Chen focused his gaze forward. He couldn’t help but cry out, “My life is over!”
At this moment, rainbow colored feathers filled the sky. The originally mighty and handsome Scarlet Eye Holy Blood Phoenix had been blown away, leaving behind only half of its feathers. It was like a bald chicken, its skin completely stained with blood.
It had to be said that the power of the twin dragons was just too terrifying. They were even stronger than Long Chen’s’ Sky-Opening 'technique. If he could directly hit the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix’s body, he would definitely be able to instantly kill it.
However, the power of the Twin Dragon Strike was too great. It was impossible to hit someone else directly if they failed to block it.
"Screech …"
The crimson-eyed Holy Blood Phoenix suddenly raised its head and let out a mournful roar that shook the heavens. Its voice was filled with anger and killing intent. It was clear that it had truly gone berserk.
The Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix’s wings shook, and it immediately rushed towards Long Chen. Accompanied by its movements, countless feathers fell, making it look extremely miserable.
However, at this time, it was truly angry, and its skin began to turn red. Countless runes began to light up, and a terrifying pressure bore down on Long Chen. Long Chen immediately felt as if his entire body was pressed down by a mountain, and it was difficult to even move.
"Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen was thinking about what other cards he had, a green light shone from Long Chen’s body and a scale appeared above his head.
That was Long Chen’s green dragon scale. It had originally been lying quietly in the chaotic space, but when the Crimson Eye Holy Blood Phoenix went berserk and activated its bloodline pressure, it appeared on its own.
It was still only the size of a palm and it floated in the air. A vast dragon’s might emerged, as if it was a divine dragon of the nine heavens looking down upon the endless blue sky and looking down over all of the desolate lands.
The originally enraged and murderous Blood Phoenix suddenly fell to the ground, not daring to move. It was actually trembling with fear in its eyes.
"Wa, ka, ka, ka."
Long Chen looked at Long Lin and began to laugh maniacally. ‘Dragon, that’s the Emperor of Ten Thousand Beasts. What kind of magical beast would dare to contend with it?’
F * ck, when did I become so stupid to capture a magical beast? Why didn’t I bring out the dragon’s scale earlier? When the dragon’s might appears, who can contend against it?
"You sure are awesome. You sure are cocky. You are shameless. Who are you trying to act cool with? Come at me!"
Long Chen braced himself against the dragon’s scales and rushed to the front of the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix, kicking and punching it. The Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix was still shivering, not daring to move.
"Did I offend you? You actually want to kill laozi, why don’t you do it! " Long Chen kicked it a few more times, but the Scarlet Sacred Blood Phoenix was too big. He could only kick its mouth, but its mouth was too hard, and that kick hurt.
“Long Chen, what’s going on?” Meng Qi ran over, but she still hadn’t recovered from the shock.
“Hehe, we’re rich. Meng Qi, go plant a slave seal on it!” Long Chen said.
"This, can it work?" Meng Qi said with some hesitation.
“Don’t worry. With the dragon’s might, it won’t dare to resist. You can plant it with confidence!” Long Chen was very confident. The dragon’s scales contained the blood essence of a True Dragon, and he didn’t have any worries.
Only then did Meng Qi nod her head and carefully form a hand seal. With her most powerful soul power, she formed a slave seal and sent it towards the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix.
Sure enough, the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix’s body trembled. It struggled out of instinct, but it only struggled for a moment before it stopped moving. It allowed Meng Qi’s slave imprint to enter its soul.
“Alright, Long Chen, put away the dragon’s scale. She’s already my pet!” As Meng Qi spoke, her voice began to tremble.
Because, it was simply like a dream. Having a pet that could rival a head level expert was something that he didn’t even dare to dream about.
Only then did Long Chen carefully put away the dragon’s scale. However, he was secretly on guard and was prepared to summon the dragon’s scale at any time to prevent it from suddenly attacking and being killed in a single strike.
Although Long Chen believed in Meng Qi’s strength, it was still a matter of life and death for both of them. He had to be careful, but it was clear that Long Chen’s worries were unnecessary.
The crimson-eyed Holy Blood Phoenix was completely terrified. Even though Long Chen had put away the dragon’s scale, it was still shivering and did not dare to move for a long time.
Meng Qi stood to the side, consoling it with her soul force. This was a common method used by beast tamers to tame magical beasts.
When Master beat up a demon beast until it was half dead, it would be best if it was on the verge of death. After disciple tamed a demon beast at this time, then comforted the demon beast, it would be easy to gain the trust of the demon beast, and it would be easier to get a favorable impression from the demon beast.
Although a slave imprint was planted, a magical beast had to obey its master’s orders. However, it was compulsory, and the magical beast would find a chance to kill its master at any time in order to fight for its freedom.
But after taming a magical beast, it would treat it better. If the magical beast didn’t experience so much pain, it would slowly enjoy its own life. Accepting this master was a typical way of cooking frogs in warm water.
However, the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix was obviously frightened. Not only was it suppressed by the bloodline, but it was also suppressed by the soul. There was no way it could resist.
An hour later, the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix stopped trembling and slowly straightened its body. However, it was in an extremely weak state and had been beheaded by Long Chen.
The hair on its chest was blown off and its body was covered in blood. Most importantly, when its bloodline power erupted, it was suppressed by the dragon’s scale. This was the most unbearable thing for it. Its source energy received a huge shock.
After hearing Meng Qi’s description, Long Chen was speechless. He pointed at the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix and said, "What are you doing? Why didn’t you surrender earlier? “This is great, everyone will suffer!”
Whether it was Long Chen, Meng Qi or the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, they were all injured. The Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix was the most severely injured. With its enormous body, it would need a huge amount of pills to completely heal it.
"Open your mouth. Eat some medicine to stabilize your injuries." Long Chen was helpless and could only take out a pile of healing medicine. There were roughly a hundred of them, but that was all Long Chen had.
Although these things were few in number, they were of high quality. They were all Nine Magnificence Pills, and were able to alleviate the wounds of the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix. In addition, the demonic beast’s physique was strong, and its recovery rate was also fast.
After consuming the pill, Long Chen took out a large barrel of healing medicine and applied it to the wound along with Meng Qi. This would help the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix recover faster.
After all, in this terrifying place, with this big fellow here, their safety would be increased. However, this project was too big and the consumption was too great. The barrel of Long Chen’s medicine was only able to be smeared on the head area.
Long Chen felt a burst of regret. He had been too stupid. Had he not been torturing himself? If he had taken out the dragon scales earlier, he wouldn’t have needed to go through so much trouble.
Originally, she wanted Meng Qi to take it back into her soul space and slowly recuperate, but Meng Qi clearly felt sorry for her recently obtained pet. At first, she wanted Meng Qi to take it back into her soul space and slowly recuperate, but Meng Qi obviously felt sorry for her recently obtained pet.
“Let’s go, where are the other two little fellows?” Long Chen put the three corpses back into the chaotic space and rushed to the bird nest on the mountaintop.
Chapter 758
Even the Blue Unicorn Hawk that had just hatched out of its shell was a size larger than the house. However, the Blue Unicorn Hawk that had just hatched out of its eggshell looked extremely unsightly.
His entire body was hairless, completely different from that of a newborn chick and duckling. Furthermore, it had a sour taste to it.
“Long Chen, keep one of these two baby birds for you and one for sister Wan’er. Use the method of a Beast Master to nurture them; they will grow up very soon.” Meng Qi said.
Long Chen and Meng Qi both had their own pet space. With the help of the Green Scaled Eagle, their combat power would increase by a large margin. Especially Long Chen, who could fight fiercely and instantly kill someone when they were caught off guard.
Now that Meng Qi had the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, even if the opponent could block the soul attack, they wouldn’t be able to stop it. It could be said that Meng Qi had become the strongest person among them, far surpassing Long Chen.
If he made an enemy out of Meng Qi and Meng Qi combined with the Crimson Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, Long Chen wouldn’t even last an incense stick of time. He would be beaten to death. This was the terrifying aspect of a Beast Master.
Ordinary Beast Master could control several, or even dozens of magical beasts. For someone as strong as Meng Qi, she could control hundreds of powerful magical beasts.
However, Meng Qi had been cultivating and did not capture any magical beasts. Otherwise, even if a hundred ordinary Xiantian level magical beasts attacked together with Meng Qi’s soul attack, they would still have a chance of killing a second level Skywalker.
However, Meng Qi’s personality was calm. She didn’t like riding weak magical beasts because weak magical beasts were like cannon fodder. Her death rate was too high, so Meng Qi didn’t like this kind of method of attack.
She liked powerful magical beasts, so she could follow them around as long as they didn’t die. Now that she had the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, she didn’t have any plans to take any other pets, so she wanted Long Chen and Tang Wan’er to each take one.
Tang Wan’er was a formidable controller of the wind element. Her wind attribute was compatible with the Green Unicorn Horn Hawk’s, so fighting her would be more advantageous to her.
“Little guys, you keep them. Give them to Wan Er when you get back. I don’t need them!” Long Chen shook his head.
Right now, the two little fellows were still in a muddled state. They could use soul power to seal their souls, and after they left, they would communicate with their souls. There was no need to immediately put a soul imprint on them.
"Long Chen …" Meng Qi was stunned.
“I already have Snowy, so I don’t need any other pets. Snowy isn’t a pet to me, he’s the witness of our relationship. He’s also my friend, so no one can take his place.” Long Chen said with a smile.
Ever since Little Snow entered late-Sixth Order, his cultivation had not improved. Long Chen knew that sometimes, manpower was poor and Xiaoxue’s growth had reached its limit.
Snowy was originally a Class 3 Magical Beast. However, after his mutation, he had managed to break through. Now, he had finally encountered his bottleneck. Long Chen had tried to use a pill, but to no avail.
Long Chen had no choice but to accept the fact that this was the end of Snowy’s training. However, as Long Chen had said, Snowy was not his pet. Instead, she was his companion that he would never abandon.
When he was chased to an unknown village by a Marquis in the Phoenix Cry Empire, Snowy had encountered countless difficulties and dangers along the way. He had risked his life to find Long Chen, and this love would never be forgotten.
On the road of cultivation, Snowy had helped Long Chen to get out of danger countless times. He had fought alongside Long Chen, sharing life and death together. This emotion was impossible for others to understand.
"You can have two pets?" Meng Qi was confused.
Long Chen shook his head and sighed, "Meng Qi, please forgive my willfulness or idiocy. Snowy is enough. I, Long Chen, am able to face any danger!"
Long Chen had also thought of owning an even stronger magical beast to help him. But Long Chen felt that this was a betrayal of Snowy, and he couldn’t do that.
Although this idea looked very stupid, Long Chen didn’t care. After all, he had already done enough foolish things, so he didn’t need this one.
While Long Chen and Meng Qi were talking, in Xiao Xue’s soul space, the tears in her eyes slowly rolled down as she softly sobbed.
“Alright, then I won’t force you!” Meng Qi knew that once Long Chen decided on something, no one in the world could change it.
In addition, Meng Qi’s heart was filled with emotions. Although Long Chen would often laugh and curse, his words becoming dirty, just like a little ruffian leader.
Long Chen’s heart, however, never changed. He was always loyal to her, and that was not an act, but from deep within his bones. Meng Qi couldn’t help but sigh. Perhaps it was from deep within his bones that such feelings deeply affected her.
This was because these were the food that the little fellows had given to them before they opened their eyes, and they could not abandon them. They could only eat meat after they had finished eating the egg, and it was likely that the Cyan Qilin Horn Hawk and the giant python were hunting for the sake of storing the food.
“Meng Qi, how is your communication with the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix going?” Beast Master first had to learn how to communicate with magical beasts. He couldn’t just rely on the slave seal to suppress his emotions, otherwise it would be unsafe.
"Ai, I never thought that the intelligence of this Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix would be so low. It would be even lower than the Class 5 Magical Beasts in the outside world."
“His mind is filled with wild killing intent. Communicating it would be very difficult. I’m afraid it will take a long time before I can completely cure it.” Meng Qi said with a bit of depression in her voice.
Normally, the higher the rank of a Demon Beast, the more intelligent it was and the easier it was for them to communicate with each other. However, Meng Qi encountered a problem this time and the Scarlet Holy Blood Phoenix’s mind was filled with berserk emotions.
"Perhaps it has something to do with the environment here. Whether it’s magical beasts, plants, or insects, all of them are exceptionally violent.
“Even a small rabbit would attack us crazily the moment it saw us stepping into its territory. This doesn’t make sense.” Long Chen said.
The environment of the Spiritual Realm was truly strange. Even two outsiders like them would be met with crazy attacks when they got there.
However, while flying, the Green Unicorn Hawk had crossed the territory of many magical beasts, but those magical beasts hadn’t moved at all. Could this be bullying outsiders?
“It seems like this world is really strange. It makes people feel repressed, and they feel an inexplicable sense of nervousness and fear.” It’s really weird here.
“Let’s rest here for two days. I’ll concoct more pills to help the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix recover as soon as possible. Even if we can’t fight, we’ll need it to travel. Otherwise, it’ll be very difficult for us to act.” Long Chen said.
“That’s fine too!” Meng Qi agreed. It was too dangerous for the two of them to walk in the forest. With the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix, things would be much safer.
He was looking at the hourglass. Only seven days had passed, so he estimated that it was still early. He could still walk around a bit and see if there were any other harvests.
At this time, Long Chen showed his shrewdness. The first thing that came in was to have Meng Qi turn on the hourglass because Meng Qi discovered that seven days had passed while it was only one day here.
Because she was too nervous, she continued to deal with all kinds of crises. She couldn’t feel the flow of time, so Meng Qi couldn’t help but admire Long Chen’s meticulous actions. Although Long Chen’s thoughts would sometimes scare people to death, he was still very trustworthy.
Long Chen started to concoct a large number of pills. This time, Long Chen concocted a healing pill. He made up his mind to concoct all of the huge pellets, because the healing effects of the huge pellets were better.
In these three days, he had refined a total of ninety-eight huge pellets. After consuming the huge pellet, the Crimson Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix’s spirit had recovered greatly, and most of the wounds on its body had also healed. Besides the shocking head wound, the rest were completely healed.
However, his internal injuries were still very severe. Especially after his source energy had been damaged by Long Wei, which required a long period of recuperation. Long Chen never would have thought that Long Wei would be so powerful. He was becoming more and more curious about the identity of the dragon race expert.
"Long Chen, the blood coloured phoenix can already barely fly. What do we want to do now?" Now that Meng Qi had called the Scarlet Sacred Blood Phoenix a blood phoenix, it was much more convenient.
"You should ask the blood coloured phoenix if it knows where there is a giant tree. The bigger it is, the better it is. It would be better if it could break through the heavens!" Long Chen said.
"Nonsense, how could it be so exaggerated!" Meng Qi rolled her eyes at Long Chen. He was no longer reliable, but he still tried to communicate with the blood coloured phoenix.
However, communicating with the Blood Phoenix was a very difficult matter. What was one to order it to do? In this aspect, asking it for information was like asking a fool for directions. It would take a very long time to do so.
This was because sometimes, the Crimson Eye Holy Blood Phoenix didn’t understand the fluctuations of Qi Qi’s soul. It needed Meng Qi to explain it over and over again so that it could only barely understand it.
After an incense stick of time, Meng Qi sighed and said, "The Blood Phoenix said that flying forward here is a bit tiring. There is a forest here that is very, very big and scary!"
Long Chen had a strange expression on his face. “This bird language is a bit of a pain in the ass. What do you mean tired from flying? Is that a unit of time?” Very, very scary? “What’s the meaning of this?”
Meng Qi gave a bitter smile, “There’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve only been with it for a short time, and its intelligence is too low. I can’t understand what it means. I’ve worked hard for half a day before I found out.”
Fine, I don’t care, let’s fly according to the direction it pointed to. We’ll fly slowly along the way, making markings along the way so that we won’t be unable to find the way back. Also, I need to check if there are any other suitable magical beasts. Long Chen said with a smile.
Meng Qi smiled sweetly. Long Chen was doing this for her safety. Although Long Chen had said that he also needed to look for something in the Spiritual World, it was all for her sake. This made Meng Qi’s heart feel sweet.
The two of them jumped onto the back of the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, slowly flying in the direction that Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix remembered. Long Chen’s heart was also filled with anticipation, and he didn’t know if he would be able to meet Lord Tree God.
After walking for some distance, they came across a Class 7 Magical Beast. Long Chen asked, "Do you want it?"
“Forget it, this turtle is too ugly!” Meng Qi said somewhat embarrassedly. This kind of magical beast really couldn’t arouse any interest in capturing it.
Long Chen laughed out loud. This kind of magical beast was truly quite painful to deal with. One couldn’t wait to hide in its shell and fight someone, right?
"What?" A magical beast of the eighth rank? Meng Qi, quickly put away the blood coloured phoenix! "
Suddenly, a huge figure appeared, blocking the sky and causing the sky to darken. Long Chen couldn’t help but rejoice, telling Meng Qi to retract her blood phoenix and quickly take out her dragon scales.
Chapter 759 - Mysterious Tree

It was a huge snake over 10,000 feet long. Its entire body was black and it had wings on its back. When it noticed the Scarlet Sacred Blood Phoenix, it immediately rushed over. .
It was obvious that this was a demonic beast that was searching for food in the sky. In the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix’s impression, there were no such powerful demonic beasts on this road.
“It’s the Black Armored Snake!” Meng Qi cried out in alarm.
Earlier, she had only received the Crimson Eye Holy Blood Phoenix’s message and met a Class 8 Magical Beast. Upon hearing Long Chen’s words, she immediately recalled the Scarlet Eye Holy Blood Phoenix into her soul space and was able to clearly see the magical beast.
"Buzz!"
Previously, he had been looking at the Soaring Snake from afar, but when he looked at it again, it was already in front of them. Previously, he had been looking at the Soaring Snake from afar, but when he looked again, it was already in front of them.
"Buzz!"
Just as it fell, Long Chen directly used the dragon’s scale, instantly activating the dragon’s might. The black armored snake’s entire body immediately shook. It suddenly let out a cry like a baby as it turned around and ran.
“Hey, hey, wait a bit, I have something to say to you!” Seeing that the black armored snake wasn’t completely suppressed and was about to run, Long Chen couldn’t help but panic as he called out.
When the Black Armored Soaring Snake saw Long Chen chasing it, its cries became even more mournful. Its voice was filled with fear as it flapped its bright wings behind it. At the same time, it quickly moved its body in the air as if it was swimming in water.
“Hey, hey, I’m not hurting you. I have something I need to discuss with you. Bro, wait a minute. You lost your money!” Long Chen chased after him.
Despite knowing that she shouldn’t be laughing when she was nervous, Meng Qi still couldn’t help laughing at Long Chen’s words. This bad guy, just how big of a heart he had, he still didn’t forget to spout nonsense at this time.
When Long Chen flew far away, Meng Qi summoned the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix. She followed far behind because the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix was afraid of the dragon’s might and did not dare to come too close.
After chasing for an hour, they finally caught up to Long Chen. The Black Armored Soaring Snake had already disappeared, but Long Chen was still in the air cursing. He said that the Black Armored Soaring Snake did not know how to appreciate favors and had lost the opportunity to serve Long Chen. Meng Qi was speechless.
“Alright, don’t be angry!” Meng Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she tried to persuade him. At the same time, she felt helpless. If the outside world were to find out that Long Chen was chasing a Class 8 Magical Beast, they would definitely go mad from fright.
“I’m not angry, I feel sorry for it. It has lost an opportunity to make a name for itself. If it follows you, it will be able to call the wind and summon the rain. It would be much better than staying in a place like this where birds never lay their eggs.” Long Chen said that he wasn’t angry, but his tone showed that he wasn’t in a beautiful mood.
This was because he had discovered a fact. If he continued to trigger the dragon’s might, then he would consume the energy of the blood essence within.
It had to be known that the Azure Dragon blood essence was something which he could rely on to train in the Dragonblood Body Forging Technique. He didn’t dare to use it again.
Long Chen was angry because he discovered this. He cursed at the Black Armored Soaring Snake for not understanding its kindness. If he could subdue the Black Armored Soaring Snake, wouldn’t he be able to rule the world? Watching this opportunity slip away with his eyes, Long Chen was obviously unhappy.
“Let’s go. We’ll let the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix fly slower. If we can’t use the dragon’s scale unless it’s absolutely necessary, then we can’t use it.” Long Chen warned.
Without the dragon scales, it meant that there wasn’t much chance for him to subdue the other magical beasts of the seventh step.
Not to mention the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix, even if it was the Green Scaled Horned Hawk or the Nine-backed Giant Lizard, they would still have to use unconventional methods to subdue them. Not to mention that the ordinary methods required a lot of thought and effort, but Long Chen didn’t have that much time to spare.
Thus, not only did they have to run aground to find a pet, they also had to hide from other Magic Beasts. This was because the Scarlet Sacred Blood Phoenix’s injuries had yet to recover and its combat strength was less than half of its usual strength.
In addition, Long Chen still needed to calculate the time needed for their return trip and also set aside enough time so that they wouldn’t encounter any other magical beast obstructing their way back.
Time seemed to be running out, but there was nothing for it to do. The dragon could only fly while searching for powerful trees.
At the same time, he took out a few seeds and placed them in the chaotic space to test them out. He discovered that although their vitality was slightly greater than the original tree’s, there was a limit to their strength and they could not meet the requirements set by Long Chen.
However, he still had to keep the seed. If he could not find a suitable tree to improve it, he could not return empty-handed.
After flying for a full five days, he checked the hourglass. It had been almost ten days since he entered the Spirit World, but he still couldn’t find a suitable tree.
Some of the trees looked incomparably large, but their vitality was not that strong. They similarly did not meet Long Chen’s requirements. On the eleventh day, a large forest suddenly appeared in front of them.
The Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix suddenly stopped. It told Meng Qi that this was an extremely terrifying place, and anyone who entered would be killed.
Long Chen was astonished. The trees in front of him towered into the sky. Each tree was tens of thousands of feet high. The trees were so tall that they covered the sky and covered the earth.
This made Long Chen think of the Tree God, but the forest in front of him was truly terrifying. The huge leaves above covered the entire sky, and the forest was dark and gloomy, filled with a strange aura.
"Meng Qi, does the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix know the origins of this forest?" Long Chen asked.
Meng Qi tried to communicate with the Red Eyed Holy Blood Phoenix, and after a long while, she sighed, "It can’t explain clearly. It only knows that the forest is terrifying, and if it goes in it will be killed.
Long Chen was speechless. With the Class 7 Magical Beast being so stupid, it would be difficult for it to escape. Long Chen told Meng Qi to put away the Scarlet Eye Holy Blood Phoenix, and the two of them sneaked into the dark forest.
Only two people, and their target was much smaller. As they slowly moved forward, Long Chen quickly discovered that something was wrong. It was too quiet here, and it was simply deathly still. Even the air was filled with a strong aura of death.
Even Long Chen felt his scalp go numb. However, he needed to obtain the branches or fruits of those trees in order to be able to replicate them limitlessly.
The two of them slowly moved forward, trying their best to not make any sound. They even completely covered their own aura, and even their pores came close to each other without any smell.
As they neared the forest, Long Chen discovered that these trees were even taller and more majestic than the distance.
Long Chen also discovered that the trees here were not all of the same species. However, each and every one of them were terrifyingly large. In front of these trees, Long Chen was as small as an ant.
"Pa!"
Long Chen picked up a basket sized core from the ground. It looked like a walnut, but what disappointed Long Chen was that there was no sign of life inside. This was not a normal seed, it was just an empty shell, unable to be planted.
Long Chen did not continue to walk deeper because he had an intuition that there was something extremely terrifying deep within the forest. That feeling made his scalp tingle and his bones turn cold. It was a feeling of extreme danger.
Ever since he started cultivating, this was the first time Long Chen had felt such a terrifying premonition. The Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique had never fooled him before. This meant that there were terrifying existences in the depths of the forest.
This was because even when Long Chen faced the Rank 8 Black Armored Soaring Snake and didn’t take out the dragon’s scale, he didn’t have such a terrifying feeling. One must know that without the dragon’s scale, the Black Armored Soaring Snake could easily kill him in an instant.
This meant that, in the depths of the forest, there was an existence that was a hundred, even a thousand times more terrifying than the Black Armored Snakes. Long Chen felt as if his heart had risen to his throat.
Long Chen told Meng Qi to wait under the tree. If there was any movement, he would send a soul message to inform him.
Long Chen climbed up to the top of the tree. Because it was too high, the thick foliage blocked his line of sight. Long Chen could no longer see Meng Qi. Luckily, the two of them still had a soul connection.
After reaching the top of the tree, Long Chen discovered a giant fruit. The fruit was three feet in diameter and shaped like a coconut. Long Chen didn’t dare to use a knife. Instead, he used his hand to gently break the link and picked up the fruit.
He threw the fruit into the chaotic space and it began to grow. To Long Chen’s surprise, the sapling had just sprouted and it was already extremely huge, shocking him greatly.
It grew to a height of several dozen feet and was still a tender bud. When it reached a hundred feet, it took the shape of a tree. Long Chen quickly took down a branch and buried it in the ground.
As expected, the chaotic space did not disappoint Long Chen. The branches actually started to slowly grow. This made Long Chen feel more at ease. Afterwards, Long Chen quietly descended the tree.
At this moment, Meng Qi was waiting anxiously, even she felt a great sense of unease. This forest was too strange, it was too long, people felt like they were going crazy.
Long Chen gave Meng Qi a gentle kiss on the cheek to comfort her. Then he pointed at another big tree. The two of them walked over to the tree and left Meng Qi on the lookout.
This was because this tree was different from the one before. The bark of the tree was actually a fish scale that emitted a faint cyan light. It was extremely strange.
Since they were already here, Long Chen had to bring out as many seeds as he could. This tree was simply too big, and it would take a very long time for them to grow up. Only after they had passed the seedling stage would they know how strong they were.
Long Chen didn’t have that much time to wait. There were many dangers lurking in this place, and staying here for a while would increase the danger. Thus, Long Chen decided to leave after obtaining the seeds of a few trees nearby.
If one were to say that the vitality of these large trees was rather poor, then he could only accept his misfortune and not continue to take risks.
Long Chen took the seeds from the three trees in succession and looked around. Suddenly, he noticed that there was another tree.
The leaf of the tree had natural patterns on it that made it look like a rune. Furthermore, the tree was even bigger than the others, almost ten times bigger than normal trees.
Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He had originally planned to leave at this time, but now that he saw this big tree, he couldn’t move anymore.
In the end, Long Chen clenched his teeth and stomped his foot. He was defeated by his greed and slowly climbed up the tree.
After climbing up to the top of the tree, Long Chen suddenly discovered that this tree didn’t have any fruits. Could it be that this tree was male?
Helpless, Long Chen glanced back and saw one of the branches. It was about the size of an arm. He couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw that the branch was extremely tough and didn’t break immediately.
This caused Long Chen to be extremely apprehensive. With his current strength, he could break magical equipment with his bare hands without breaking a single branch.
Long Chen didn’t use too much strength because if he forcefully broke such a strong branch with brute force, it would make an explosive sound. In this forest where a needle could fall at any moment, something bad might happen.
Long Chen quietly took out his blood-colored long blade. With a flash of blood-colored light, the tree branch broke into pieces. However, where the tree branch broke, a red-colored liquid suddenly gushed out like blood.
"This is bad!"
Long Chen’s expression changed greatly. Suddenly, the tree shook as countless branches gathered toward him. It was like a prison, surrounding him.

Long Chen’s heart suddenly trembled as a terrifying pressure enveloped him. Suddenly, the tree shook as countless branches gathered towards Long Chen. It was like a prison, surrounding him. .
"Long Chen, be careful!" Meng Qi used her soul to send a message. Clearly, she had noticed the abnormality below.
"Flee!"
Long Chen threw the branch into the chaotic space, and with the blood-red blade in his hand, he slashed forward, cutting off the branches and leaves.
Puff.
Red liquid that filled the sky flew out like blood. Long Chen immediately realized that the situation was even worse. This tree actually had its own consciousness.
With a slash of his blade, he destroyed the tree branches. Long Chen wanted to summon out his lightning wings and madly run away.
"Crack crack crack."
Suddenly, countless huge branches gathered on the tree. This time, they were no longer tiny branches, but were several tens of feet wide. At the same time, Long Chen felt the tyrannical feeling from the tree and wanted to strangle him.
"Split the Heavens!"
Long Chen roared and brazenly opened up the sky, directly penetrating the huge branches in front of him and finally escaping the control of the large tree.
As soon as he flew out, Long Chen discovered that Meng Qi was also in danger. The countless roots of the earth were rushing towards Meng Qi, just like a myriad of strange pythons that were ready to swallow her up.
"Boom!"
Long Chen chopped down with his saber and broke the roots. He grabbed Meng Qi and ran far away, far away from this strange forest.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, the ground shattered as the tree flew into the air with an endless amount of roots. It was like an octopus that covered the sky as it flew towards Long Chen.
What shocked Long Chen the most was that as it left the ground, the entire forest exploded with an explosion. Trees flew up into the air one after another, chasing after Long Chen.
It was unknown what power those trees used to actually be able to fly in the sky. Long Chen was simply going crazy. This simply didn’t make sense.
"Swish, swish …"
Furthermore, the speed of the trees was extremely fast. They looked like a giant cloud in the sky, with countless roots that were like sharp arrows that shot towards Long Chen.
It was clearly thousands of feet away, but those roots seemed to be able to extend themselves indefinitely. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before him.
"Boom!"
Long Chen chopped out again with his saber. The enormous saber shadow instantly shattered the roots. The roots crumbled and blood splashed out.
"Creak …"
The tree that Long Chen’s blade had cut down actually let out a strange cry that caused one’s hair to stand on end. This was truly frightening.
“F * ck, he wants his father’s life!”
Long Chen had just knocked back a large tree with his saber. He was shocked to discover that there were already several thousand large trees in the surroundings. They were like a sea of clouds as they drifted toward Long Chen from the sky, blotting out the sky and blotting out the sun.
At this time, Meng Qi had already summoned the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix. However, with the speed of the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix, it was unable to shake off the strange trees.
The treetops were connected to the treetops, and their roots were connected to each other, forming a colossal object. As it flew through the air, its speed became faster and faster, and Long Chen had never seen such a strange thing. The tree was actually able to fight like a soldier.
Meng Qi looked up at the sky and saw the strange tree ‘clouds’ covering the sky. Her face was a bit pale. After those strange trees merged together, their evil aura made her hair stand on end, but she kept her mouth tightly shut, not wanting to disturb Long Chen.
"Explode!"
Suddenly, Long Chen threw out a fireball and detonated it in front of those strange trees. Those trees were suddenly tainted by the earth fire and let out strange squeaks. The roots on their bodies were immediately set ablaze as countless ashes fell from the sky.
Although it wasn’t a serious injury, it still made Long Chen happy. Indeed, the fire had a great restraining effect on the wood. This made him feel a lot more at ease.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the air shook as a terrifying pressure rose up from the depths of the forest. It was as if the entire world had suddenly frozen.
Long Chen felt as if his scalp was going to explode. He felt as if he was being stared at by a primordial beast, and an intense threat that he had never felt before arose within his heart.
Not only Long Chen, but even Meng Qi could feel it. There was not a single trace of blood on her face. She was obviously frightened. That thing’s aura had already surpassed their imaginations.
“Long Chen, what should we do?” Although Meng Qi knew that she shouldn’t have asked, she still couldn’t help but ask. This was a woman’s natural instinct.
“Don’t be afraid. If you let the Scarlet Eye Sacred Blood Phoenix fly at full power, I remember that when we came here, we passed by a huge river and rushed there with all our might. Our distance should not be too far off.” Long Chen said in a low voice.
Even if Long Chen was brave enough, he would still be scared when faced with something he had never seen before. However, after struggling for so many years on the edge of life and death, the more danger came, the calmer he became and his mind became clearer.
In the face of danger, panic and fear wouldn’t save him, but would instead hasten their demise. Long Chen had long since formed a habit of remaining calm, even in the face of death, he could still maintain absolute calm.
Long Chen could sense that a terrifying figure was rapidly approaching from the depths of the strange forest. It was likely that these strange trees had informed that person.
However, that terrifying being should be very far away. Long Chen still had a bit of time, so Long Chen kept releasing his fireballs, not allowing the strange tree’s clouds to get too close.
But in his heart, Dragon Heart was incomparably frantic. This was because that terrifying pressure was growing more and more intense, clearly indicating that it was rapidly closing in.
"In front of you is a large river!" Meng Qi suddenly shouted.
That large river was extremely wide, reaching a thousand li in width. The surging and roaring water was extremely terrifying.
“Snowy, come out. We will launch a Wind and Fire attack together. We don’t need to focus, we only need a large enough range!”
Long Chen summoned Xiao Xue. At the same time, a huge fireball appeared in Long Chen’s hand. In order to be safe, Long Chen asked the Long Hao to contribute all of its power.
The diameter of the fireball was over a hundred zhang. This was the result of Long Chen trying his best to compress it, otherwise it would have been even greater. Snowy’s white fur suddenly stood up as she revolved her endless wind-attribute energy.
"Phew!"
The fireball flew out from Long Chen’s hand. Snowy opened his mouth and a huge Wind Blade Ball exploded with the wind. It directly wrapped around the fireball and flew forward.
When the wind blade ball and the fireball fused together, it rapidly expanded, instantly forming a huge ball of tens of thousands of feet long.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, flames shot into the sky, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles in an instant. It was as if the entire world had been set ablaze.
The huge cloud of trees was surrounded by endless wind and fire. It let out a miserable shriek. After the flames passed, all the leaves on the trees had disappeared. Most of the roots were gone as well, and the tree trunk was charred black.
After Long Chen released his fire and wind attack, he directly put Xiao Xue away. Meng Qi also took the Scarlet Sacred Blood Phoenix into her soul space. The two of them joined hands and dove into the river.
After entering the river, Long Chen’s divine sense spread out. He quickly found a huge strange fish and swam towards it.
It was a large fish, over a hundred feet long. It had a strong aura and should be a Class 5 Magical Beast. When it saw Long Chen and Meng Qi coming over, it opened its mouth and gave them face by swallowing them whole.
"Control it!"
Long Chen quickly had Meng Qi control it and quickly swam towards the water. Long Chen suddenly said, "Go left!"
Meng Qi quickly controlled the big fish and swam towards the left. Suddenly, a huge water monster with a huge mouth appeared in front of them.
Meng Qi ordered the big fish to go straight into the mouth of the monster. The monster didn’t even understand what was going on and just swallowed the big fish into its stomach.
Just as it entered the monster’s stomach, a terrifying pressure suddenly flew across the sky. The monster immediately drilled into the soil, not daring to move at all.
Long Chen hugged Meng Qi tightly, because Meng Qi was slightly trembling. Outside, a terrifying creature was flying over their heads. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
Actually, Long Chen was also nervous. The strength of this creature had already surpassed Long Chen’s knowledge. He didn’t even have the courage to use his divine sense to observe it.
After that enormous pressure passed through, countless more powerful pressure flew past. It was like a locust swarm, limitless and limitless.
It took more than two hours before all of the pressure finally flew away. Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh to himself. What bad luck this was, no matter what he did, it wouldn’t go smoothly.
He dug up a tree sapling and such a terrifying creature came into view. Judging from his posture just now, that terrifying creature must have had a terrifying army under its command. Isn’t it just taking one branch from you? Is there really a need to gather so many people?
Long Chen cursed silently in his heart, but he didn’t dare move right now because he discovered that the terrifying creature had returned. It was obvious that it had discovered the person it had lost and had come back to look for.
He had discovered that a terrifying divine intent was scanning the entire river. It had only roughly scanned the entire river before it had actually swept across the body of the monster that Long Chen was sitting on. Long Chen’s expression had changed as he thought that he would be discovered this time.
However, the divine intent only scanned the monster’s belly, not the belly of the big fish. This allowed Long Chen to immediately relax. At the same time, he also thought that he was lucky. It was all thanks to him choosing the double insurance otherwise he would really be finished.
The Divine Sense scanned the area a few more times before finally leaving. With the departure of that existence, the oppressive feeling in Long Chen’s and Meng Qi’s heart was also relieved. The two of them finally let out a sigh of relief.
"That was close!" Meng Qi stuck out her tongue, her face full of fear.
“It really was dangerous. I’ve gone overboard this time …” Long Chen smiled bitterly. He felt that he was a bit too conceited and that he couldn’t play like this in the future. If this continued, he wouldn’t have enough time to live.
Long Chen inserted it into the ground and found that the branch had begun to grow roots and slowly grow. This made Long Chen feel relieved, as it took so much effort to obtain this branch. If he couldn’t use it, Long Chen would vomit blood.
Long Chen also discovered that this tree was different from ordinary trees. The trees that he had attacked earlier were all of this type. The trees that he had previously collected the seeds hadn’t moved at all. This showed that this tree was extraordinary.
After staying inside the monster’s stomach for a day and the sense of danger completely disappearing, the big fish Long Chen was in should have been corroded by the monster’s stomach acid and couldn’t stay here any longer.
“I’ll go kill this magical beast, and then we’ll leave this place!” After Long Chen finished speaking, a lightning spear appeared in his hands.
