Chapter 1080: 1080
When crossing the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring, Long Chen had obtained a huge pile of sea demon corpses . Now they finally had a use .
He tossed them into the black soil . Like snow falling on lava, they rapidly dissolved . Endless life energy spread through the primal chaos s.p.a.ce .
As the Iron Spruce Oaks crazily grew, Long Chen continuously tossed the sea demon corpses into the black soil as fertilizer .
In less than an incense stick’s time, the empty primal chaos s.p.a.ce became filled with soaring Iron Spruce Oaks .
Each one of them had reached a height of three hundred meters . In two hours, they had grown to three thousand meters .
Once Long Chen had used up all the corpses, they had grown to around six thousand meters . At this moment, the life energy contained within them was over ten times what his old trees had been able to contain .
Not only did they have much stronger life energy, but also in terms of quality, they were dozens of times greater . He had made the right choice in choosing the Iron Spruce Oaks .
Just quant.i.ty wasn’t enough to heal him in Long Chen’s experience . That was especially true when the injury came from a rank six Celestial’s attack . The Heavenly Dao energy made his old trees completely ineffective .
Now as he slowly extracted life energy from the Iron Spruce Oaks, the results were practically miraculous .
In just a few breaths, all his injuries were fully healed . As for the Iron Spruce Oaks, they had only turned a bit listless . There were no signs of them withering .
That delighted Long Chen . Right now, they had only grown to six thousand meters . Once they were fully matured and reached a height of ten thousand meters, the life energy within them would be ten times greater .
Regretfully, it took too long to grow them . He had tossed in a mountain of corpses to nourish the trees, but they still hadn’t reached their full maturity . He would have to think of something in the future .
After healing, he found a training room for himself . This training room wasn’t for cultivating, but for training in a magical art and testing the magical art’s power .
This training room was of higher quality than a cultivation training room . Of course, the price was also greater . Long Chen was using the highest price training room, and it cost ten thousand points for a day .
The training room had all kinds of puppets inside . They were created by the Xuantian Dao Sect for its disciples .
These puppets were used as targets to allow the disciples to test their power .
They were split into Sea Expansion and Foundation Forging levels . A disciple renting this room would be given ten Sea Expansion puppets and two Foundation Forging puppets for training purposes .
But Long Chen tossed aside all those puppets and spent another ten thousand points to buy ten Jade Core puppets .
These puppets were very powerful, and when attacked, they would automatically activate their defenses . They were so strong that they should be able to receive a full-strength attack from an average Jade Core expert .
Long Chen slowly formed hand seals . After the seventh hand seal, his left hand held his right elbow . His left hand’s fingers changed color, like iron that was being heated, eventually turning semi-transparent .
It was even possible to see energy slowly going through the five fingers into his right hand . At the center of his right hand, a sesame seed-sized flame crystal slowly formed .
As soon as that crystal core appeared, its terrifying heat incinerated almost everything in the training room . Even the distant Sea Expansion puppets were starting to melt .
The crystal began to slowly revolve, and as it did, flame energy wrapped around it . Its irregular body began to become round and spherical .
A layer of flame energy covered the crystal . Now, it was the size of a soybean . At this moment, the Foundation Forging puppets had runes come out of them and form a light barrier .
The terrifying heat had activated their defenses . However, even with their defenses, in just a few breaths, the Foundation Forging puppets also began to melt .
“This training room has isolated quite a bit of flame energy, allowing me to control it easier . It was worth the price . ”
Long Chen was delighted to see this . If he had tried using this move in the outside world, its effects would be too dangerous .
It was the right choice to have come here . The training room blocked a portion of heaven and earth’s flame energy, making it easier for him to control the magical art . He didn’t need to be so worried .
This was the final move he had learned in the Xuantian Catalog . He had studied it and run simulations before, but he hadn’t dared to try using it .
But even just testing some of its aspects had been dangerous . He had been injured by the terrifying heat several times .
This move was very complicated . It required spreading flame energy throughout one hundred and eight meridians, and then recombining them into two flows of energy .
Those one hundred and eight streams of energy required a set order and technique . No two streams could touch . It was like circulating one hundred and eight streams of energy at the same time .
And most difficult of all, at the same time as he condensed his right hand’s energy, he had to control the output of his left hand’s energy . The one hundred and eight streams of energy all went through the left hand into the right hand .
The process required the one hundred and eight streams of energy to maintain certain speeds . It couldn’t be too fast or slow . The slightest mistake would cause the crystal to explode .
Furthermore, this was just the energy he was controlling in his body . He also had to control the energy in the air .
Even Long Chen, someone who could boast to be unrivaled when it came to controlling flames, felt like he was walking on thin ice right now . If this crystal exploded in his hand, if he didn’t immediately die a horrible death, he would at least lose half his body .
But through his meticulous control, the one hundred and eight streams of energy entered his hand at a set pace . The crystal grew to the size of a longan fruit .
“That’s about enough . For the first time, just pulling off this move would count as a success . Safety first . ”
Although Long Chen felt like he could still continue, he felt like holding back a bit for his first try was best .
Taking a deep breath, he cut off the energy . In that instant, the crystal suddenly unleashed blazing rays of light, seeming to come to life . Long Chen hastily tossed it out and involuntarily shouted a name:
“Star Fall!”
The small crystal was like a shooting star flying at the Jade Core puppets . Those puppets had long since had their defensive runes activate to form a runic s.h.i.+eld .
BOOM!!!
A huge explosion rocked the training room, and a terrifying energy erupted .
“Not good!” Without hesitation, Long Chen summoned the Green Dragon Battle Armor . He had just summoned it when he felt like a mountain smashed into him, and he shot back .
In the end, he felt a burst of pain from his back . He even heard his own bones breaking as he smashed into the wall of the training room . Now he also experienced what it felt like to be smashed into flatbread .
Was this karma? Long Chen clearly felt that his body had been flattened . There were only a few parts of his bones that were still intact .
He tore himself from the wall . The wall was completely undamaged by the explosion or the collision . It was no wonder the Xuantian Dao Sect allowed its disciples to unleash huge moves inside .
Circulating the primal chaos bead, his injuries instantly healed . Then he looked at the Jade Core puppets and saw they had been blown apart . There was nothing left of them .
“d.a.m.n, what a terrifying attack . ”
This attack was something that could instantly kill Kings . Long Chen hadn’t expected this move to be so terrifying .
It had to be known that he had only just learned it, so it was still in an embryonic form . Furthermore, he had intentionally reduced the power to be safe .
“Unfortunately, it’s not too useful as it takes too long to use . Would any King really just stand there while I unleashed it?” Long Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless .
It took three breaths’ time to use . If he encountered a King, they would have slaughtered him a hundred times in that span of time . No matter how strong it was, there was no point to it .
“No good, I have to think of some way to shorten the cast time . I’ll have to properly study it . ”
Star Fall was absolutely terrifying and easily became his strongest move . It was even more terrifying than the third form of Split the Heavens . This was a trump card for protecting his life; hence, he had to perfect it .
Long Chen took a long while to recover from this test . This move not only exhausted his spiritual yuan and soul energy, but it also exhausted Huo Long’s energy .
While resting, he consumed a large number of Heavenly Star Sea Merging Pills . He needed to raise his cultivation base as high as possible during this time .
Just as he was training in Star Fall, the Xuantian Dao Sect was shaken . The Dragonblood Legion’s members had advanced to become rank four Celestials . That news spread to every corner of the Xuantian Dao Sect .
When Luo Fan heard this, a gloomy expression appeared on his face . “As expected, this brute really has some huge secrets . ”
The news that over ten thousand disciples had advanced to become rank four Celestials was too shocking . People even went to report it to the Xuan Master .
The Xuan Master only gave out a simple response: this was a kind of experiment done by the Xuantian Dao Sect . All Elders and disciples were to keep it secret and not transmit it outside, and they shouldn’t disturb the Dragonblood Legion either .
It was true that there were various treasures that could be used to raise a Celestial’s rank . In fact, there were several kinds of medicinal pills for it, but they were too precious, so precious that even the Xuantian Dao Sect couldn’t afford them .
For the Xuan Master’s reply to be that it was an experiment shocked everyone . Could it be the Xuantian Dao Sect was secretly researching precious medicines that could raise a Celestial’s rank?
Although people had all kinds of guesses, due to the Xuan Master’s orders, they could only stifle these questions inside .
Time pa.s.sed quickly, and over a month went by in the blink of an eye . On this day, Long Chen walked out of the training room with a smile on his face .
