“Long Chen, since you’re so unreasonable, don’t blame me for being merciless. Just wait. I will definitely make you regret this.”
After saying this, a blazing light enveloped Dan Chu. Spatial energy began to condense.
Long Chen’s expression instantly became ugly. This bastard was trying to transport him away.
Dan Chu was enveloped by runes and floated into the air. He laughed, “Hahaha, Long Chen, just wait! I’ve already said that I’ll flay all your skin and tear out your muscles and bones! But now, I’ve changed my plans. Instead, I’ll kill every member of your Dragonblood Legion and play with all your lovers until they die! I’ll-”
BANG! Dan Chu’s body was rapidly fading. Just as he was about to be transported away, a black pot smashed toward him. The runes around him exploded, and the spatial energy disappeared. Dan Chu’s laughter was severed, and he became horrified.
“NO!”
A blood-red saber slashed through the air, blowing Dan Chu’s body to bits. A heavenly genius fell just like this.
[1] = Dan Teng, Pill Soar. It sounds like , meaning pain in the balls literally, also equivalent to the expression pain in the ass.
Chapter 1214 Besieged From All Sides
Dan Teng’s hands blew out of their seal, and he swayed back and forth. His expression twisted furiously.
“Long Chen…!”
These two words were hissed out of the cracks between his teeth. His voice was full of killing intent. He couldn’t comprehend how Long Chen had broken his spatial art.
Just at this moment, a light cracking sound rang out. A jade slip in Dan Teng’s hands cracked and shattered.
This was a Soul Jade Slip, and it was extremely precious. Only geniuses of the main bloodline in the Pill Tower were qualified to possess a Soul Jade Slip.
The Soul Jade Slip was connected to Dan Chu’s soul. When Dan Chu’s soul was annihilated, the jade slip had also exploded. This meant Dan Chu was definitely dead.
“Long Chen, if I don’t tear you to pieces, then I, Dan Teng, swear I’m not human!”
Dan Teng’s eyes were red like a furious beast as he let out a heaven-shaking roar.
“Gather all the experts and alert all our subordinate powers! I want to see just who dares to block me!” ordered Dan Teng.
“As you command.” A reply came from within the darkness.
Dan Teng’s hair was standing on end. His fury had maxed out. Long Chen was still alive, and he hadn’t even gotten a look at his treasures.
On the other hand, the Ancestral item he had lent his descendant had been taken away along with that precious descendant’s life. It had to be known that Dan Chu was the junior he had had the highest hopes for, but he had died like this. How could he not be aggrieved?
“Martial Heaven Alliance, Xuantian Dao Sect, let’s see just what you use to block me this time!” An icy light appeared in Dan Teng’s eyes. Within this dark space, it was like the eyes of a beast, sinister and sharp.
…
Killing Dan Chu with his saber, the instant his body exploded, a golden and a violet flame light appeared. The golden light rapidly dimmed, while the violet light suddenly tried to flee.
Huo Long appeared and devoured both of them. The violet light was the Soul Devouring Violet Flame’s seed, while the golden light was Dan Chu’s core flame.
Long Chen had yet to understand what this golden flame was. It was capable of becoming solid, and its power had deeply shaken him.
That was because Long Chen had noticed that Dan Chu had always been using his golden flame to suppress and control the Soul Devouring Violet Flame. That meant that this golden flame was much stronger than it.
After devouring those two flame seeds, Huo Long returned to the primal chaos space. Within the primal chaos space, the two flame seeds, which had been struggling fiercely, immediately turned still.
These two flame seeds were the best food for Huo Long. Devouring the Soul Devouring Violet Flame’s seed would allow Huo Long’s power to almost perfectly match it.
Then once Huo Long devoured the golden flame, even if its power didn’t surpass the Soul Devouring Violet Flame, it would at least be equally matched with it.
But right now, Huo Long was extremely weak. Almost all its energy had been sucked dry to unleash that full-power Star Fall.
Now, it was no longer possible to instantly refine either of the flame seeds. Fortunately, the two flame seeds couldn’t resist the primal chaos space. Huo Long could slowly recover and refine them.
Long Chen had just placated Huo Long when a golden light shot at him at an incredible speed. Furthermore, the power contained within this light caused the void to quiver.
Without even thinking about it, Long Chen blocked it with the pot. An explosion caused Long Chen to grunt as he was blown back by what he now realized was a golden arrow.
Just at this moment, a winged, eagle-eyed man appeared in the distant air. He held a golden bow in his left hand and was staring at Long Chen. Clearly, that golden arrow had come from him.
Seeing that his silent sneak attack had failed, he immediately crushed a jade plate. A fluctuation spread in every direction. It was a kind of communication signal.
Long Chen’s arm was numb. His spiritual yuan was exhausted. Although the pot had blocked the arrow, his physical body had no spiritual yuan to support it, making him much weaker than usual.
“A rank seven Celestial.”
Long Chen narrowed his eyes and had a bad feeling. With his spiritual yuan exhausted, his combat power was less than a tenth of his normal state. Killing this person would be very difficult. Furthermore, he had a pair of wings and used a bow. He was clearly a long-distance fighter, and such people were usually specialized in speed. That made killing him even more difficult.
But the thing that made Long Chen the most uneasy was the communication signal he had released. There were definitely many experts rushing over here now. At that time, things would become even worse.
Just at this moment, two more figures rushed over. Long Chen narrowed his eyes. These ancient race experts were also rank seven Celestials.
“Attack together. We don’t need to kill him, just stall him.”
The eagle-eyed expert’s wings began to shine, and a golden arrow condensed on his bow.
The arrow then shot out at incredible speed. It had only just left the bow when it reached Long Chen.
The arrow once more crashed into the pot. The pot was fine and the arrow exploded, but Long Chen was once more blown back.
At this time, the other two ancient race experts attacked him. One wielded a staff while the other wielded a saber that had been modified to be specialized in slashing. Both of them had summoned their rank seven Celestial manifestations.
Despite knowing that Long Chen was already exhausted, they weren’t the slightest bit careless. They used their full strength to attack him.
Holding the pot in his left hand and Blooddrinker in his right hand, he blocked their attacks with just the pot. He vomited blood on impact, and the pot almost escaped his grasp.
Just as their attacks landed, a silent arrow shot toward Long Chen’s back. Long Chen swung out Blooddrinker, blowing apart the arrow, but he was once more blown away.
The two ancient race experts took advantage of this to unleash a barrage of attacks. Fortunately, the pot was strong enough to use as a shield, but he was still repeatedly blown back and injured.
Long Chen’s heart shook. Continuing like this was not an option. Even if a rank eight Celestial didn’t come, he would be killed just by these three.
That sneak-attacking archer was the most detestable. Each time he attacked would be timed for when Long Chen was busy blocking the other two ancient race experts. Long Chen was almost heavily injured several times.
“Nothing to do but be ruthless.”
Long Chen clenched his teeth. Suddenly, he smashed the pot forward, blocking their two weapons. This full-force attack caused them to fly back.
/> Just at this moment, an insidious arrow pierced through Long Chen’s back. It had been timed perfectly.
It left behind a fist-sized bloody hole in Long Chen’s body, delighting the archer. But his expression quickly changed. He saw that his arrow continued through Long Chen’s body and toward the staff-wielding ancient race expert.
“Watch out!”
The staff-wielding ancient race expert had just raised his staff to strike Long Chen when an arrow burst out of Long Chen’s chest and at him. At that moment, he heard the archer’s warning and gave up his attack, dodging to the side.
But just as he dodged the arrow, a blood-colored saber slashed through his neck from the other direction.
A head flew high into the air. Regretfully, this attack had no spiritual yuan inside it, or the head would have instantly exploded.
Just at this moment, a roar shook the heavens. A lightning dragon flew out, smashing into the other shocked ancient race expert, while its tail flicked out at the head.
The huge lightning dragon forced back the ancient race expert, while its tail struck the head, instantly killing that person.
The saber-wielding ancient race expert had his body turn numb. He was just about to circulate his spiritual yuan to expel the thunderforce when he felt a burst of pain on the top of his head.
A blood-colored saber cut him in two from head to toe. Even his armor shattered.
“Thank you, Blooddrinker.” The reason Long Chen had been able to kill this person was all thanks to Blooddrinker. It had used up all its energy to break through the armor’s defenses.
After killing the two of them, Long Chen was panting for breath. The hand he was holding Blooddrinker in was starting to tremble intensely, meaning he had overdrafted his power.
Suddenly, he raised the pot, blocking an arrow. He coughed up blood and shot back like a shooting star.
“Lei Long, eliminate him!”
Lei Long charged at the distant archer. Its huge tail whipped toward him.
But that archer’s wings flapped, and it dodged Lei Long’s attack, once more shooting an arrow at Long Chen.
Long Chen held the pot in both hands, and he was once more blown back, his whole body quivering. He hastily gulped a mouthful of the divine life elixir, turned, and fled.
Lei Long was crazily attacking the archer, but the archer’s armor lit up, temporarily isolating him from Lei Long’s lightning runes. He flew after Long Chen, and as Long Chen had expected, he specialized in speed.
Long Chen was unable to fly right now. He could only use his feet. Each step allowed him to cross a mile, but it was still too slow as he was constantly harassed by arrows.
Long Chen was like a rabbit being chased by a hunter. He was in an incredibly miserable state, occasionally coughing up blood.
Damnit, so even I end up like this. A weakened tiger can die to a dog. If I was in my peak state, I’d kill this brat with a single slap.
Long Chen was infuriated yet helpless to do anything. Most irritating of all, this archer was constantly sprinkling some unknown powder as he chased. Without even thinking about it, it had to be a marker to make it easier for others to follow.
“No good. I have to think of something to get away, or I’m definitely dead. Do I not have anything I can use?” Long Chen regretted hitting the Blazing Dragon Cauldron so many times. It had lost too much of its power, or it could have helped him smash this hateful fellow.
Long Chen hastily flipped through the primal chaos space. Suddenly, a certain thing fell into Long Chen’s sight. Hehe...
Chapter 1215 Mysterious Elder
Lei Long was unable to do anything to the ancient race archer, so its body suddenly lit up, unleashing blinding arcs of lightning that made it so the archer couldn’t see anything for a moment.
In that instant, a three-foot sphere shot toward him.
The ancient race archer was truly worthy of being a rank seven Celestial. Even though he was blinded and the thunderforce was disturbing his divine sense, he still sensed it. He rapidly fell back as he blocked with his bow.
BOOM! Just as his bow touched the sphere, the sphere exploded and countless fragments devoured everything around him.
The archer was shocked. Before he could even understand what had happened, dozens of fragments tore through his body, and one of them severed his neck.
His head had only just left his body when Lei Long transformed into a lightning spear and stabbed through it, instantly killing him.
“Guo Ran’s wares are all top grade. Looks like his bragging was the truth.”
That sphere was one of the bombs that had been used as a final trump card against the sea demons in the eastern sea. But instead of being used on them, they had ended up giving a vicious blow to the ancient races and Heaven Suppressing Magic Sect’s disciples.
Back then, Guo Ran had given Long Chen his greatest masterpiece as a souvenir. But in truth, it was actually just to show off.
But now this bomb was even able to kill a rank seven Celestial when Long Chen used it properly.
“Not good. Gotta run!” Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed. He sensed several powerful auras rushing straight over.
Clenching his teeth, he poured the tiny bit of spiritual yuan he had just recovered into his boots and vanished like a wisp of smoke.
Less than two breaths after Long Chen had left, several figures appeared on the battlefield.
One of them was the rank eight Celestial from the elephant ancient race. He looked over the battlefield and said, “His aura hasn’t dissipated yet. He can’t be far. Everyone split up.”
The others immediately fanned out, rapidly flying through the air. All of them were on alert, ready to unleash their strongest attacks at any time.
They knew that after consecutive battles, Long Chen had long since become an arrow at the end of its path. Once they found him, he would likely unleash a final deathblow, so they were all very careful. None of them dared to be careless when it came to handling Long Chen.
Long Chen was only able to endure for a dozen breaths before his spiritual yuan was used up by the boots.
Suddenly, he saw a waterfall ahead. There was a pool below it, and he sensed a strange fluctuation coming from within the pool.
Hesitating for a moment, Long Chen dived in. Only once he was inside the pool did he realize it was just like an ancient well. Although it hadn’t looked remarkable on the outside, it was incredibly deep.
Long Chen had gone down hundreds of meters without seeing the bottom. Once he was over a mile deep, he saw a curtain of light blocking the water.
Entering the light, he realized it was an immortal cave. When he looked back, the light curtain had vanished, and the water of the pool had also disappeared. He had unwittingly been transported to some kind of special location.
Suddenly, eight pearls at the top of eight stone pillars lit up, making this immortal cave as bright as day.
With this light, he managed to get a clear look. This immortal cave was like the inside of an ancient palace. The eight stone pillars had fierce beast carvings on them. Long Chen didn’t recognize a single one of those beasts.
Standing within this room, he saw a throne ahead. The throne was empty, but it emitted its own powerful pressure.
On the wall behind the throne, there was a huge mural three hundred meters high. There were countless creatures depicted within it. Flying birds, walking beasts, all living in peace.
He didn’t know whether it was a misperception or not, but when he looked at those creatures, he felt like they were looking back at him, appraising him. This mural was filled with Dao charm.
“This painting is definitely a treasure!” A fiery light appeared in Long Chen’s eyes as he looked at the mural.
“How can you be sure?” Suddenly, a voice rang out behind Long Chen.
Long Chen jumped in fright. Without even thinking about it, he smashed behind him with his pot.
But after swinging the pot, he was shocke
d to find that the pot had disappeared from his hand. Instead, it appeared in the hand of an elder that had appeared behind him.
The elder was tall and lean. He wore cyan robes and had a scholar’s band wrapped around his head. He looked just like an old Confucian scholar. He possessed a simple and elegant air.
The elder seemed to be lost in thought as he held the pot. He gently stroked it with his other hand. The pot actually let out a rumbling sound that sounded like the wailing of a child.
“When I forged you, it was in recollection of my childhood memories. You were the proof of my Dao-heart. But now that I think about it, it was nothing more than a joke… Becoming a god or an immortal is nothing more than this…” sighed the elder. His eyes were lost as he had sunk into his memories.
Long Chen didn’t dare to make a sound. He wasn’t able to sense this elder’s aura or even his existence. And yet it was like his existence encompassed all of heaven and earth.
Long Chen had never seen anyone as terrifying as this. It was like on his own, he was the entire world. In this world, he was in control of everyone’s life and death.
“Alright, you were born from my hands, but you were almost destroyed because of me. Now you’ve encountered a new master. I will give you some good fortune to make up for that ancient debt.”
A rune appeared in the elder’s hand, and he slowly placed it on the bottom of the pot. The pot’s aura rapidly changed. Despite clearly being an ordinary pot, it now possessed a sacred and divine air.
That divine air slowly faded, and the elder returned the pot to Long Chen. “It has fate with you. I hope you won’t let it down.”
Long Chen was in a daze, but he obediently received the pot. However, the pot was in a strange state, and it seemed to be lost in slumber.
“Senior, don’t tell me that you are the master of this minor world?” After a long moment of hesitation, Long Chen still ended up asking this question that even he couldn’t really believe.
“Yes, this minor world was created by me. It is the only inheritance I left behind before ascending.” The elder nodded.
