Chapter 5059 Lei Linger’s Transformation.
“Huo Linger, that’s very wicked!” Long Chen was speechless.
“Hehe, I learned from the best!” teased Huo Linger.
Sweat dripped down Long Chen’s forehead. With that level of intelligence, who would dare to call her just a flame spirit?
Suddenly, thunder boomed in the sky. Long Chen looked up and saw lightning weaving through the sky. It could be considered a sea of lightning.
Countless lightning dragons swam in the sea. Amongst them were two giant lightning dragons chasing after one figure—Lei Linger. When the black soil absorbed the Netherdragon corpses, their thunderforce was unleashed. The two giant lightning dragons were manifestations of the three-vein Heaven Saints’ thunderforce.
Lei Linger was fighting them, but her opponents were so powerful that they constantly blew her apart.
“She doesn’t want me to help,” said Huo Linger.
Long Chen nodded. Lei Linger was strong-minded and wanted to get stronger through her efforts. In truth, she could just use the laws of the primal chaos space to suppress and directly devour them.
However, if she did that, she would lose her chance to clash with top experts. She was using them as a grindstone to sharpen herself.
If someone helped her, she wouldn’t learn as much. Hence, she relied on herself. In any case, she had an undying body in this space. Refining them was only a matter of time.
Every time she refined a bit of their thunderforce, her power rose by a shocking amount. Even Huo Linger with the Golden Crow in hand might not be able to beat Lei Linger once she finished refining all this thunderforce.
Thinking of how Huo Linger and Lei Linger were getting increasingly powerful, Long Chen was excited. This time, his gains in the Long clan were truly immense. If Huo Linger and Lei Linger hadn’t become Heavenly Chosens, there would have been no way for them to control such powerful abilities.
Long Chen then went to the core of the primal chaos space. The black soil had devoured all the Netherdragon corpses, and there were only dregs left on the ground.
Perhaps due to the baptism of the divine pool, the primal chaos space had also changed. At the very least, the devouring abilities of the black soil were many times greater than before.
Within this black soil, there were two enormous trees: the Heavenly Dao Tree and the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree. Divine light and immortal mist swirled around them, making them look like legendary trees.
Dragonbone Evilmoon was suspended below the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree. Somehow, Evilmoon found that staying beneath the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree could allow it to receive the nourishment of immortal mist, making it incredibly clear-minded. It could then refine the absorbed energy more easily.
This mysterious Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree was the divine tree that Long Chen used to comprehend the Dao. Huo Linger and Lei Linger often cultivated beneath it as well. Perhaps their intelligence had grown to such a level due to this.
The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree had long since shed its former half-dead appearance. Now, it was flourishing in the primal chaos space, looking unspeakably hallow.
After examining the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree for a while, Long Chen went to the Heavenly Dao Tree, which had a mountain of fruit beneath it. It had been a long time since he had cleaned them up, and besides, there was nowhere to use them.
At the very peak of the Heavenly Dao Tree were several new flowers. The petals had divine runes flowing on them, forming the image of a Heavenly Dao. Each leaf represented a Heavenly Chosen that Long Chen had killed. Some of the flowers had started wilting, giving birth to tiny fruits.
Those fruits were still small, about the size of a green bean compared to the normal fist-sized Heavenly Dao Fruits. They had a long way to go before reaching maturity. However, seeing them bear fruit gave Long Chen hope. This meant that the Heavenly Dao Tree could produce Heavenly Chosen Heavenly Dao Fruits. In other words, even if some Dragonblood warriors didn’t become Heavenly Chosens in the High Firmament Academy’s secret realm, he could still help them achieve that status.
The Dragonblood Legion would then become a Heavenly Chosen Legion. At that point, would there be anyone in the Sovereign Emperor Heaven capable of stopping them?
“Long Chen, I might have eaten too much this time. I can’t help you and have to focus on digesting this new energy. When I wake up, I’ll accompany you again,” said Evilmoon from beneath the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree.
Long Chen knew that slaughtering the Netherdragon experts with the Sovereign Blood Seal had allowed Evilmoon to devour a great deal of energy. After all, there were two three-vein Heaven Saints among them. Long Chen nodded as he would handle his own affairs.
When Long Chen’s divine sense retreated from the primal chaos space, he relaxed on his bed, crossing his legs and smiling.
As expected, danger and opportunity existed together. The greater his guts, the greater his gains could be. All his achievements were because he had the courage to take risks. Compared to the last time he had seen Mo Nian, his power was on an entirely different level. Such progress would not have been possible without taking those risks.
Long Chen waved his hand, and a flame staff appeared. As he looked at it, he suddenly thought of a certain person who also held a wooden staff. Thinking of him brought Long Chen a wave of sadness.
“If you were still alive and could see how much I’ve matured, you’d definitely be proud…”
The old man and Qu Jiangying had sacrificed their lives to protect the Martial Heaven Continent. That was the truth. However, their deaths were the result of a scheme, played out on someone else’s chessboard—Lord Brahma’s.
As soon as Lord Brahma’s name was mentioned, Long Chen felt a surge of hatred. This animosity was carved deep into his soul, a hatred that would persist until his last breath.
Suddenly, he heard a knock, and Bai Yingxue called, “Bai Dale!”
Bai Dale? Who is that? Did she get the wrong person? Long Chen suddenly clapped his forehead and walked out with his flame staff. As soon as he did, he saw Bai Yingxue smiling at him teasingly. As expected, the name Bai Dale really sounded comical.
“We’re about to arrive in the Glacial Heaven Domain.”
Just as Bai Yingxue said this, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest quivered, and a chilling voice echoed from outside.
“White dragon race, you’d better give us an explanation today!”
