Chapter 1542 - Crystal Ice CoffinAfter the matters of the Monarch Mountain were settled, Long Chen returned to the War G.o.d Palace under the leaders.h.i.+p of the True Martial Emperor.
At this time, there were not many people in War G.o.d Palace.
True Martial Emperor had been shrouded in a five-colored cloud the entire time; his appearance couldn"t be clearly seen.
"This is a clone of mine. It takes a lot of effort for me to move around outside." The True Martial Emperor turned around and explained.
At this time, they had already returned to the War G.o.d Palace, and stood under the ninety-nine golden demon pillars.The War G.o.d Palace was currently empty.
No wonder he had told Long Chen before that he could only use his clone to bring along the three Martial Saints and bring Long Chen to the Sword Soul Imperial Palace to propose marriage.
Long Chen guessed that it had something to do with the Nirvana Tribulation.
The True Martial Emperor was able to live for tens of thousands of years at a time. He had also paid a price. In fact, he hadn"t even revealed his true body in that s.p.a.ce.
Standing there, True Martial Emperor turned around to look at Long Chen. Even though he couldn"t clearly see his appearance and expression, Long Chen could feel his solemness.
"Child, have you really thought this through?" The True Martial Emperor asked.
"What?" Long Chen vaguely knew what he was referring to.
"If you transfer his heart to you, Imperial Palace will not fall into a pa.s.sive state. You are the only suitable candidate, maybe you can bring the Golden Demon Pillar and the dead City Lord"s heart and leave far away, making it impossible for him to find you, but it can also mean greater danger. Although, the dead City Lord wanted to kill you, if you brought his heart, then he would have a reason to kill you even more."
Long Chen had already thought of this question long ago.He knew what kind of terrifying existence he was. If he were to let this person control the power to revive him, if he wanted to take revenge on the human race, then it would definitely be a disaster for the True Martial Imperial Palace, who would bear the brunt of the attack.
Great Emperor of Zhen Wu sighed and said, "When you see that I can easily suppress Ye Futu, you will think that I am strong. In fact, I was already at the end of my tether. If he comes, I only have one chance to fight, and if that battle does not work, then my entire True Martial Imperial Palace would be in danger of destruction. You are the only suitable candidate, the only one who can keep True Martial Imperial Palace alive. That is why I am giving you one last chance to choose. You can choose not to shoulder this responsibility, after all, if you accept this responsibility, there is a very high possibility of you dying. "
This, perhaps, was an extremely difficult choice.
From the True Martial Emperor"s words, Long Chen could hear his helplessness.He speculated that the True Martial Emperor might have temporarily suppressed the arrival of the Nirvana Tribulation and could only hide in that s.p.a.ce. If he appeared then he would die under the Nirvana Tribulation in a short period of time.
Of course, the possibility of him defeating the City Lord was a little low. The City Lord would definitely destroy the entire Emperor Star for the sake of his heart.This was not something that was impossible.
Long Chen spent a large amount of effort to become the Lord precisely because he had a sense of existence of this place. If he saw so many of his friends die, he wouldn"t be able to do it, so he chose this path.
He could just ignore it and become an ordinary Lord.He could even give up the position of the Saint Martial Emperor Lord.
If that was the case, the City Master would not necessarily be able to find him. Even if there was a grudge between the True Martial Emperor"s Soul and the G.o.d Slaying Sword, Long Chen might not have to bear the brunt of it and be in danger.
And if Long Chen transferred the City Lord"s heart into his own body, then, he would bear the brunt of the attack and become the target of the City Lord"s death.The Gold-ranked Demon Pillar suppressed the heart of the City Lord, only the Saint Martial Emperor could use the Gold-ranked Demon Pillar.
Long Chen had actually long made his decision.On the one hand, it was the survival of all.
On the other hand, it"s personal selfishness.Everyone was afraid of death and it was normal for them to be selfish. That was why the True Martial Emperor gave Long Chen a chance to choose anew.
He was willing to use his life to protect the True Martial Imperial Palace, but he also wasn"t willing to force a young man with a huge future onto a path that was very likely to be sacrificed, just like him.Long Chen was indeed struggling a little in his heart.
After all, he was also a normal person, he would rather waste time chasing after his own things, and be good to his own people, such as Ling Xi, such as Mo Xiaolang.However, to him, compared to this, the survival of the human race was even more important. He believed that he had chosen this path, and that everyone close to him would be able to support him, including Ling Xi. She had always supported herself in silence.
Long Chen was not a naive person, he was more decisive than anyone else.
When the True Martial Emperor gave him his last chance to choose.
He fulfilled the promise he had made in front of the hundreds of millions of disciples, and said decisively and straightforwardly: "How could I be willing to give up something as good as the Golden Demon Suppressing Pillar?"These euphemistic words caused the True Martial Emperor to smile for the first time.
"Although you are young, I also admire your courage. In that case, I shall lead the way. "This was the center of the ninety-nine golden demon pillars.
Raising his head, he could see the mighty and domineering ninety-nine golden Demon Suppressing Pillars. They were like pillars that supported the heavens as they pierced towards the sky.
Every golden Demon Sealing Pillar was engraved with complicated patterns. As it was the backbone of the five-clawed Golden Dragon, there were also a large number of golden dragon scales.
The True Martial Emperor instantly activated the Golden Demon Suppressing Pillar. The golden brilliance of the ninety-nine golden Demon Pillars scattered down and densely covered the ground, forming a golden array formation beneath their feet.
"We are about to reach the heart of the Emperor Star. That is the place where the City Lord"s heart is sealed."
As the True Martial Emperor"s words fell, Long Chen discovered that the entire golden array formation was sinking and he too was sinking into the ground, descending at an extremely fast speed.This was the first time he went so deep into the ground.
The Emperor Star wasn"t big, it could only be considered a small planet.
With the speed at which the golden formation was descending, roughly fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at their destination.
In the entire process, the two of them did not interact much.Long Chen"s heartbeat sped up.
He was about to face the heart of the City Lord. This ghost that had been sealed for many years, how malevolent would it look? Could it be that it was a black, malevolent heart that was beating nonstop, emitting the cries of evil spirits?To let such a thing exist in one"s own G.o.d country made him feel disgusted even just thinking about it.
The only thing worth comforting was probably the fact that he was able to control the eight dao tools, the ninety-nine golden Demon Suppressing Pillars.
"If you go beyond your limits and use a Dao Artifact, you will definitely suffer huge injuries. Your current strength is insufficient for you to completely control all 99 Golden Demon Suppressing Pillars. Thus, after refining it, you must be careful and not act rashly. "The True Martial Emperor reminded.
Long Chen understood this, Feng Zhilin overused the Wind Dragon Tendon previously, causing his body"s injuries.
Although the 99 Gold Suppressing Demon Pillars were 8 dao tools, they had one advantage, which was that they were scattered. There were a lot of them, and Long Chen was unable to control them all, he could allow the Gold Suppressing Demon Pillars to suppress the heart of the City Lord, and use any part of them on his own.
In any case, the True Martial Emperor had already said that his heart had nearly failed itself.
After arriving at the destination, Long Chen discovered that the surrounding temperature had risen to a terrifying level. Fiery red lava filled his field of vision, and this was the part of the Emperor Star that was close to the center.The barrier wall in this s.p.a.ce is a layer of fiery red light film. It was rather beautiful with flowing lights flickering around it, but in reality, if one"s physical body wasn"t strong enough, coming here would probably melt.
At the very least, he would need to endure two levels of Nirvana Tribulations before being able to stay here for a short period of time.
Long Chen"s body was comparable to a Martial Saint, so there was naturally no problem.
However, if it was too long, he would probably fall as well.
"This is the heart of the City Lord."
The True Martial Emperor pointed to the center of this s.p.a.ce.
Long Chen followed his instructions and looked down, and was immediately stunned.
Above the fiery red lava, there was a transparent crystal ice coffin floating in the air. The crystal ice coffin was not big, and one could see everything inside.
Inside this crystal ice coffin, laid a beautiful woman. This woman was enveloped in ice, her blue hair was scattered down, and she was extremely beautiful. Long Chen had seen many beauties in this world, both Ling Xi and Li Xuanji were of the first cla.s.s, but they did not have such a strong visual impact like the woman in the crystal ice coffin.
This woman sleeping inside the crystal ice coffin like a precious treasure was actually the heart of the city lord who had died in vain!
This was far, far different from the black heart that Long Chen had imagined.
The only thing that could be proven was that on top of the crystal ice coffin, floated a golden bead with eight runes on it. The bead kept rotating, forming ninety-nine phantoms that pressed down on the crystal ice coffin, immobilizing it.
"Surprise. This is the first time I"ve seen her, and it"s also because of your expression."
The True Martial Emperor said with a heavy tone.
He still remembered last December when Dragon Bloodline"s G.o.ddess of War went on sale, obtaining a score that could look down on all heroes.
A year later, his results had already reached the peak.
It was December again, and there was going to be a major announcement this afternoon. It was related to a major event in December, so please look forward to it!
