Chapter 1833: Top of the Nest
BOOM!
Long Chen repeatedly swung the dragon tooth, blasting the bone needles into bone powder .
However, that bone powder wasn’t really bone powder . Instead, those broken pieces transformed into smaller needles .
Meng Qi was busy gathering the Blue Eye True Feathers, the strongest feathers of the Blue Eye Peac.o.c.k, a twelfth rank Magical Beast . Those true feathers were where its life’s cultivation base and divine abilities were gathered . As for that rock they were inserted in, it had caused them to enter a slumbering state . Meng Qi was using up a huge amount of Spiritual Strength to gather them without waking them up .
If she hadn’t helped Long Chen refine the dragon tooth before, she would have it much easier . But now she wasn’t capable of moving that quickly .
There were a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine true feathers . Just as she gathered the last true feather, she saw the endless bone needles .
She couldn’t help letting out a cry . Back when she had previously encountered Xie Luo, there had only been thousands of bone needles, and each one of them had been terrifying . She had been forced to use her Spiritual Strength to slow them down and flee relying on Cloud’s speed .
Even one of the strongest Xuan Beast experts to enter here had been injured after using a divine ability to attack the bone needles . With his powerful physical body, he had barely managed to flee .
The most terrifying aspect of Xie Luo’s bone needles was that they were a combination of a physical and spiritual attack . When one of the bone needles exploded, it unleashed another spiritual and physical attack . There was no way to dodge .
The curse energy on the bone needles would cause a person to instantly become absent-minded . In a fight against experts, that one instant was the difference between life and death .
Meng Qi had some regrets now about coming here . She hadn’t managed to fully describe just how powerful Xie Luo was to Long Chen . Now they were in trouble .
Suddenly, the roar of a dragon shook this room . A wild lightning dragon coiled around Long Chen, protecting Long Chen from the endless bone needles .
Those bone needles exploded upon contact with Lei Long’s body . Both their spiritual and physical aspects were blown apart .
It was only the larger foot-long bone needles that Long Chen hadn’t previously destroyed that didn’t immediately explode . Instead, when they stabbed into Lei Long’s body, they started to crack .
Xie Luo’s expression changed . He had never encountered such a powerful thunderforce . His unstoppable bone needles had met their bane .
Long Chen’s thunderforce was no longer ordinary lightning . It contained a trace of divine power . The curse energy on the bone needles might not be afraid of ordinary lightning, but in front of divine lightning, there was no way for it to resist .
Xie Luo snorted coldly . A blood-colored curved saber appeared in his hand, and a sinister aura erupted out of it as though millions of ghouls were wailing . This was a terrifying evil weapon . Its murderous aura was not inferior to Evilmoon .
The blood-red saber fell, unleas.h.i.+ng a blood moon that slashed toward Lei Long .
Lei Long instantly exploded . Even it was unable to block that blood-red saber .
However, as it exploded, it unleashed countless sparks . When those sparks faded, Long Chen had already vanished .
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d . He actually ran . ” Xie Luo’s expression was grim . He had no idea when Long Chen had escaped . Long Chen had used the lightning dragon to draw Xie Luo’s attention while he himself left .
Considering the divine nature of Long Chen’s thunderforce, it was impossible to probe beyond it spiritually . So after Long Chen had been wrapped around by the lightning dragon, Xie Luo had lost his ability to sense Long Chen’s existence .
He had taken out such a powerful trump card, but Long Chen had fled an unknown time ago . He was infuriated .
“f.u.c.k, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s definitely going to the third floor!”
Xie Luo’s expression suddenly changed . He thought of the crux of the problem . An expert on Long Chen’s level wouldn’t choose to flee .
Fleeing was equivalent to accepting that he had been defeated . Perhaps it might be nothing to others, but for peerless experts, a single defeat could be a fatal blow to their Dao-hearts .
Of course, if he had other reasons, as long as those reasons were strong enough, running wouldn’t affect him at all, let alone cause a heart-devil .
BOOM!
Suddenly, the ground collapsed, and a large figure charged out . It was True Immortal Jiaoqi who had previously been thrown off by Long Chen . Because his Spiritual Strength wasn’t powerful, even if no one blocked his divine sense, he was unable to cover the entire nest instantly .
All he could do was probe the channels as he flew . There he had noticed the palace on the second level, and he had seen Meng Qi gathering the Blue Eye True Feathers .
In order to fight over them, he had charged his way through the walls . His body was covered in qilin scales now, and he had summoned a halberd . It was something created from a qilin horn . The tough walls were broken through one by one . However, he was still one step too late . Long Chen and Meng Qi had already run off .
“Trash . ” True Immortal Jiaoqi glanced at Xie Luo disdainfully . He suddenly charged to the roof, stabbing the qilin halberd above him .
BOOM!
The roof was pierced through, revealing a channel . The area above the palace on the second floor was also filled with channels . True Immortal Jiaoqi no longer had the patience to search for the right path . He was using up a great deal of energy to charge through with berserk force .
A glint of killing intent appeared in Xie Luo’s eyes, but he controlled his anger . His lips curled in disdain . He saw that True Immortal Jiaoqi was just charging up with brute power . He wasn’t choosing the correct channels .
BOOM!
Xie Luo’s blood-red blade also slashed up at the roof . He charged into a channel .
Long Chen was pulling Meng Qi as he flew onward . Meng Qi had already sent Cloud back into her spiritual s.p.a.ce . These channels were growing narrower as they went, and Cloud was unable to show off her speed in these channels . Because of it, Long Chen was faster .
“d.a.m.n, they’re both getting serious . ” Long Chen could hear the explosive sounds coming from below . When his divine sense reached out, he saw the two of them breaking through the walls with brute force . Their efficiency was quite shocking .
“Long Chen, maybe we should leave? We’ve got the marrow cleansing essence which can help Cloud reforge her skeleton and greatly upgrade her potential . As for the Blue Eye True Feathers, they’re an even more priceless treasure . Each one of the feathers was the strongest true feather of a twelfth rank Blue Eye Peac.o.c.k . Once I refine them, I’ll be strong enough to protect myself against even the strongest opponents . We don’t need to take any more risks,” said Meng Qi .
Due to gathering the Blue Eye True Feathers and refining the dragon tooth, Meng Qi had used up a great deal of her Spiritual Strength . She was almost exhausted .
Right now, Long Chen was slowly transmitting some of his own Spiritual Strength to her . That would affect his own combat power .
Two of their strongest enemies were right below, chasing them . If Long Chen continued to compete with them over the next treasure, things would be even more dangerous .
“Don’t worry, let’s first see what the treasure is . If it’s suitable, we have to take it . If it’s not, we’ll destroy it . ” Long Chen smiled sinisterly . If he couldn’t obtain the treasure, no one else could, especially not those two .
“But we…” Meng Qi felt a bit guilty . Her strongest aspect, her Spiritual Strength, was completely suppressed by the two of them, so she couldn’t help .
“It’s fine, I can handle them . If I want to get through, no one in this world will be able to stop me . Trust me . ”
Long Chen tightened his arm around Meng Qi’s waist, helping her to be at ease . He had his own trump cards, and he wasn’t afraid .
Seeing his smile, Meng Qi felt comforted . Long Chen had changed over the years, but that smile hadn’t changed .
“Stay behind me and summon Cloud . It’s about time . We can’t let them catch up . ” Long Chen suddenly summoned the dragon tooth again . It smashed into the wall .
This time, Long Chen was also going all-out . The dragon tooth forcibly made its own channel through the nest .
He had no choice because he could see that idiot True Immortal Jiaoqi charging straight through the walls . Although that idiot was facing constant obstructions, his speed was actually quite quick .
As for Xie Luo, he avoided the thicker walls, saving him a great deal of energy . Although Long Chen had moved first, True Immortal Jiaoqi was actually reaching the target more quickly .
With his divine sense, Long Chen managed to sense a giant platform up above . However, that platform had some kind of terrifying pressure that was blocking his divine sense from seeing anything more . He had no idea what was up there . When he tried to force it, his soul twinged and a grave feeling of danger appeared . He hastily retracted his divine sense then .
Long Chen was sure that there was a priceless treasure on the platform above . He poured his Spiritual Strength into the dragon tooth, fully activating its runes .
Fortunately, the dragon tooth was incredibly sharp . Piercing through these walls wasn’t too difficult for it .
It was all thanks to Meng Qi helping him fully refine it, or there was no way he could activate it like this .
Finally, he broke through the final barrier . The pa.s.sageway brightened . It was like there was a sun illuminating this s.p.a.ce .
He found that the third level was actually the top of the nest . He didn’t even know how high up they were . Illuminated by the constant sunlight of the Yin Yang World was a ma.s.sive figure .
“A Blue Eye Peac.o.c.k!”
Seeing that ma.s.sive figure, Meng Qi let out a startled cry .
