Chapter 852: 852
“This Earth Dragon was killed by me . If you don’t want to die, you’ll hurry up and f.u.c.k off . ” Long Chen ignored his threat .
“What a joke . You can kill an eighth rank Magical Beast? If so, you would have long since proclaimed yourself the hegemon of the Immemorial Path . Since you want to die, I can only help you out . ” The Wind Leopard’s experts refused to believe this Magical Beast was killed by Long Chen . That was simply impossible .
They were filled with killing intent . Their movements were as fast as lightning, and they all shot at Long Chen at the same time . Their fingers had steel-like claws growing out of them . Runes sparkled on them, and their sharpness was comparable to Treasure items . They immediately attacked together, aware that Long Chen was powerful due to what had happened right before the Immemorial Path had opened .
Long Chen snorted and slashed his broadsword . He found that after he had reached the twelfth Heavenstage, his spiritual yuan had grown by several times . With his powerful spiritual yuan, it took him no time at all to use Split the Heavens . He could use it like it was an ordinary saber blow . A huge ray of sword-light slashed down on them .
BOOM! Those Wind Leopard experts’ expressions immediately changed . It was clearly a random blow from Long Chen, but it had locked all of them down . They hastily defended . But as a result, blood filled the air . Those claws that could compare to Treasure items were like rotting wood in front of Long Chen’s sword .
Only one person survived and fell back, vomiting blood with his arms disfigured . He was completely shocked and unwilling to believe this .
He was a rank three Celestial, and an innate one at that . There was no need to doubt his power . But he wasn’t even able to receive a single blow from Long Chen .
In truth, he really was powerful . If Long Chen wanted to defeat him, it would take some effort . Even if he didn’t summon the battle armor, he would at least need to summon the divine ring .
Regretfully, this guy had looked down on Long Chen too much . Seeing that it was just a random blow from him, he also hadn’t used his full power, thinking that it was just a testing move .
As a result, he lost out immensely . He was just about to summon his Cry of the Heavenly Daos, but Long Chen didn’t give him that chance .
Like a phantom, Long Chen appeared right in front of him . His sword pierced directly through this guy’s head .
The thunderforce on the broadsword directly destroyed his soul . He was killed instantly .
“If I didn’t kill the few of you, I wouldn’t have even been able to sense that I have gotten stronger . ” Long Chen pulled out his broadsword and sighed emotionally . As soon as he had advanced to the twelfth Heavenstage, Little Snow had brought him to fight an Earth Dragon . The Earth Dragon was too terrifying and had completely suppressed him . To Long Chen, it felt like he hadn’t gotten any stronger at all . Now that he had killed an innate rank three Celestial in just two moves, he finally experienced his strength .
That made his confidence, which had been shaken by the Earth Dragon, become completely solid .
“Wilde, get up . ” Long Chen slapped the broadsword against the Earth Dragon’s foreleg . A ten meter s.p.a.ce had been eaten by Wilde . He was like an ant that had eaten a flat s.p.a.ce for himself and then fallen asleep .
This was also why the Wind Leopard experts had failed to move the Earth Dragon’s corpse into a spatial ring despite trying so hard . The s.p.a.ce in spatial rings was static, and it was impossible to bring in living things .
As for life rings, they were comparatively precious and small . Only alchemists used such small and mostly impractical life rings .
Wilde was within the Earth Dragon, so they were naturally unable to bring it into a spatial ring . Even when they died, they couldn’t understand why they hadn’t been able to bring it in .
After Long Chen made a loud racket, Wilde finally woke up and ate his way out of the Earth Dragon . He didn’t even know when he had fallen asleep .
“All your cells have been activated!” Long Chen let out a startled cry upon seeing Wilde .
There seemed to be a mysterious energy around Wilde that caused s.p.a.ce to circulate around him . This happened without him even doing anything .
Furthermore, now that all his cells were activated, they had begun automatically absorbing energy from the air for him .
“How do you feel?” asked Long Chen .
“Really good, like I’m overflowing with energy . I also don’t feel as hungry as before,” said Wilde excitedly .
Previously, even when Wilde was stuffed with food, he was still hungry . This was one of the rare times he was actually full .
Long Chen nodded . One reason for this was because Wilde had just eaten . An eighth rank Magical Beast’s flesh was full of energy . The other reason was that all his cells had awoken . Some kind of mysterious technique seemed to have been activated, and they automatically drew energy out of the air to make up for his consumption .
In other words, as long as Wilde didn’t do anything, he wouldn’t have to exhaust so much energy . He wouldn’t have to be constantly asleep to reduce his exhaustion like before .
“Wilde, you should keep this Earth Dragon . Now you can feel free to move around even without meat to eat . However, you are different from others and need meat to cultivate . You should stay in this forest . When you have time, go out to hunt; when you don’t have time, just eat the Earth Dragon . With your current pace, you could eat this Earth Dragon for a full year . Remember to leave its skin . That can be used to equip the Dragonblood warriors . I’ll leave now to take a look at some other places,” said Long Chen .
“Brother Long, you’re going to go?” asked Wilde .
Long Chen’s heart warmed . Although Wilde’s foolishness gave Long Chen a great deal of trouble, no matter how strong Wilde became, he was still that pure child he had met in the Phoenix Cry Empire . His temperament had never changed, and he still treated him as a big brother .
“Yes, I have to go . One reason is that I have to see if I can find more resources to equip the Dragonblood warriors, and another reason is to see if I can find our people . Only then will I be at ease . As for Song Mingyuan and Li Qi, I trust their decision . They should have eaten the Heavenly Dao Fruits that Guo Ran gave them, which should have increased their chance of surviving . If they can survive, then they’ll definitely become amazing experts after experiencing this .
“You should just stay here . As long as you don’t provoke an eighth rank Magical Beast, you’ll be safe . I’ll have Guo Ran come find you when I need you . ” Long Chen patted Wilde’s shoulder and then left in front of his unwilling gaze .
Wilde’s const.i.tution was too special . Long Chen had tried all the medicinal pills and secret arts he knew, but they had all been ineffective . Wilde could only get energy from meat . Now that Wilde’s cells had all been activated, he didn’t know what would happen . But he could accept that things would go naturally .
As for Wilde’s safety, Long Chen didn’t bother worrying over that . Although Wilde was normally foolish, he was extremely sensitive toward danger . Otherwise, there would have been no way for him to survive once Cang Ming had been killed .
Furthermore, when Wilde summoned the Barbarian Blood Bronze Body, Long Chen had to ask himself if he could even block a single blow . Wilde had incomparable power and was impervious to poison . Long Chen was completely confident in him staying here .
Long Chen went on his way . He was currently already close to the core of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest . But in the end, he decided to detour around the core region .
That was because as soon as he approached the core, he encountered another eighth rank Earth Dragon . This region was perhaps filled with eighth rank Magical Beasts . With his luck, perhaps he would even run into a ninth rank Magical Beast .
A single Earth Dragon had cost Long Chen one of his trump cards and had required Wilde’s a.s.sistance . In the end, he had even been forced to use a grand a.n.u.s-piercing art via Huo Long to break the Earth Dragon’s flawless defense . If he had been lacking any of them, he would have only been able to miserably flee .
Now he had no Wilde, no Huo Long, and no poison pill . If he encountered an eighth rank Magical Beast, he would have no chance . And in the worst case, if he ran into one with low intelligence like an insect Magical Beast, the dragon scale wouldn’t be able to stop them . Then, even his life would be at risk .
Bypa.s.sing the core region, Long Chen ended up with quite a few harvests . He killed quite a few seventh rank Magical Beasts, and their corpses were all tossed into the black soil as nutrients .
Those huge trees from the Spirit World continued to grow . They were already three miles tall, and that was their final limit . Long Chen was delighted by how much life energy these trees could contain . As long as he wasn’t killed in one blow, he would be able to recover from any injuries . He wouldn’t have to be afraid of a long, intense battle .
Seven days later, Long Chen finally reached the end of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest . It was truly huge . The Immemorial Path was truly shocking .
Long Chen began approaching the main path again . That main path had more trials and more opportunities . Of course, there were also more disciples there, and more danger .
After a few hours of travel, he arrived at a barren mountain range . It was practically the opposite of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest . It was completely barren, and there was some kind of strange air here that made him feel uneasy .
He was traveling through this place when he heard the sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng . He was startled . Was the main path so exciting? As soon as he arrived, there would be a good show to watch?
Long Chen hastily went over to see what looked like several Righteous disciples attacking a woman . Seeing that woman, Long Chen shook . He was filled with delight .
