Chapter 5223 Transmission
To avoid disturbing anyone, Long Chen went to an isolated area far from the academy. As an added precaution, he left Huo Linger and Lei Linger behind to guard the academy.
In that battle, Lei Linger and Huo Linger displayed shocking power. Their sea of lightning and flames had been crucial to their victory. Without them, the academy would have taken huge losses. If they hadn’t scattered their power to maintain the lightning flame sea and support the Dragonblood Legion, they could actually slay Human Emperors on their own.
Moreover, they had not fully digested all the energy they absorbed earlier and had yet to completely adapt to their newfound power. Once they fully absorbed this energy, their strength would rise to even greater heights.
Evilmoon floated in front of Long Chen, black qi swirling around it. A sinister aura surged from it into the heavens, and two black dragon marks shimmered on its sides as if two dragons were about to burst forth. The icy killing intent radiating from Evilmoon made the world tremble. This was an existence that lived solely for slaughter.
Aside from the two large dragon marks, countless runes flickered on Evilmoon’s surface, constantly shifting as though they were alive. Long Chen noticed that Evilmoon’s aura had grown even more potent.
“Don’t be surprised. I’ve unsealed my first state, awakening my core runes, which has caused my power to continuously grow. Although your meridians have recovered, your core energy is still exhausted. We don’t need to rush into mastering the new techniques just yet. Let’s just train Waning Moon Pierces the Dome of the Heavens that we used. Last time, I led the attack, which put a significant strain on your body. This time, I’ll teach you how to use it properly. Once you master it, our power will be evenly split, increasing its potency while reducing the burden on you. The damage will be negligible. When the time comes, as long as you have enough energy, you can unleash this move freely," explained Evilmoon.
“So, you’re saying I can learn this technique?” asked Long Chen.
“Hm? Of course, you can. How else would we link up? It’s a simple technique. I’ll transmit the runes into your body, and you can activate them using the power of your violet blood, seven-color Supreme Blood, dragon blood, or astral energy—whatever is easiest for you to control,” said Evilmoon.
“That would naturally be the violet blood!” Long Chen replied without hesitation. His violet blood was the gentlest and most manageable force he possessed.
“Alright, then. Circulate your violet blood, and I’ll guide the runes into it. Use your blood to copy them. Once you’ve done that, I'll teach you how to use them,” Evilmoon instructed.
Evilmoon’s blade lit up, and the tip of the saber pointed directly at Long Chen’s solar plexus. Countless runes swam into his body like tadpoles.
Long Chen was prepared and welcomed those runes with his violet blood. As they entered his bloodstream, his body began to tremble, as though ice was spreading through him. The runes were so cold that they nearly froze his soul.
Fortunately, his violet blood provided warmth, and there was minimal rejection. As the runes merged with his blood, he circulated his violet blood to replicate them.
Typically, copying a rune and embedding it into a bloodline was an extremely complex and difficult process, often taking centuries or even longer to master. Inscribing runes into a bloodline to inherit divine abilities was not a new concept in human cultivation history. However, the process took so long that many people disliked it.
Those with true talent would rather rely on their comprehension to comprehend the cultivation technique instead of copying the runes. Furthermore, the more powerful cultivation techniques could not be inherited through copying.
However, Long Chen’s situation was different. He was copying Evilmoon’s runes, and Evilmoon was helping him do so. With his violet blood’s great adaptability, it only took him two hours to form grain-sized runes in his bloodstream.
With the copying complete, Evilmoon retracted its runes, hovering before Long Chen as its runes swirled around it.
Under the guidance of Evilmoon’s aura, the small runes in Long Chen’s blood started to circulate in a specific rhythm. At first, they moved slowly, but as time passed, they matched the tempo of Evilmoon’s runes.
“Call its name!” said Evilmoon suddenly.
“Waning Moon Shakes Heaven and Earth!” responded Long Chen.
Long Chen didn’t need to do anything. Just by saying this name, the runes in his body quivered and coalesced into the shape of a waning moon.
At the same time, Evilmoon’s tip lit up, and a crescent moon flashed. The waning moon in Long Chen’s body resonated with it, flashing as well.
“Haha, that’s even faster than I expected!” Evilmoon exclaimed, pleased with Long Chen’s quick mastery of the first step.
Countless runes concentrated onto Evilmoon, and Long Chen’s hand automatically reached out. As he shoved it forward, he involuntarily shouted, “Waning Moon Pierces the Dome of the Heavens!”
A crescent moon blade flew out of his hand and cut the mountain in front of him.
Long Chen was stunned. While cutting apart an ordinary mountain was nothing extraordinary, this mountain was composed of extremely tough ore. The fact that he had split such tough ore wasn’t the most shocking part; it was the perfectly smooth three-meter-wide crack left in the mountain. The power of the attack was highly concentrated, making it one of the most terrifying techniques Long Chen had ever seen.
“This is absolutely terrifying!” Long Chen’s jaw dropped. Had he really unleashed such an attack from his palm?
“Your violet blood power is truly terrifying! You’ve reached the level of initial mastery!” Even Evilmoon was amazed. “Alright, the warm-up is over. Let’s learn the next move! This will be the strongest attack of my first unsealed state!”
