Chapter 5574: Moon Tree
“Friend, this treasure has a destiny with me. I’m sorry for this!”
Long Chen smirked as he grabbed an oddly shaped jug. Beneath him lay an unconscious figure with blood streaming from his head.
Around him, a sea of angry eyes glared, their gazes practically spitting fire. If looks could kill, Long Chen would have been shredded into pieces.
“You damned one-eyed bandit! How dare you steal a treasure of the Heavenly River Gate?! Have you grown tired of living?! Do you even know the relationship between the Heavenly River Gate and the Brahma Pill Valley?!” one of them roared.
“Oh, so you’re affiliated with the Brahma Pill Valley?” asked Long Chen in surprise.
Sensing hope, the speaker immediately shouted, “That’s right! The Heavenly River Gate is a subordinate faction of the Brahma Pill Valley! Our medicinal pills are provided free of charge by them! By stealing our treasure, you’ve declared war on the Brahma Pill Valley! You—”
“I see,” Long Chen interrupted casually.
Without hesitation, he raised his foot and stamped down on the unconscious man. Astral energy surged, and the man’s body exploded into a bloody mist.
“So, you’re just Brahma Pill Valley’s dogs. Good. That means taking your treasures—and your lives—is the right call.”
Rage flared in Long Chen’s heart as he tossed the jug into his primal chaos space. A crackling sphere of lightning formed in his left hand, humming with destructive energy.“Run!”
Panic overtook the remaining experts as terror washed over them. Realizing their mistake, they turned and fled in desperation.
BOOM!
The lightning sphere detonated, engulfing them in a devastating storm of lightning. Their screams and pleas for mercy echoed briefly before being silenced.
They were nothing more than small fry, so Long Chen only used a very small amount of Lei Linger’s power to kill them. He didn’t want to waste his power.
More and more people were condensing heaven veins, their power getting increasingly terrifying. As a result, Long Chen felt the pressure growing. He had to maintain his top condition at all times.
Though these people were mediocre, they were still two-vein Heaven Saints, and the one he had stepped on was a three-vein Heaven Saint. If Long Chen hadn’t sneak attacked him, he would have wasted quite a bit of energy on killing him.
Long Chen clearly felt him falling behind; his disadvantage was getting increasingly obvious.
However, the Earth Cauldron had said that it wasn’t the time for him to condense heaven vein dragon qi. What he needed to do was plunder more treasures.
Long Chen then collected the corpse of a python his foes had just killed. His primal chaos space now brimmed with treasures, though the Earth Cauldron, Evilmoon, the Demon Moon Cauldron, and the Heaven Flipping Seal were all in seclusion, unable to absorb them.
Taking out a compass, Long Chen was startled as countless lights flared across its surface. The compass trembled with intense fluctuations.
“What’s going on?!”
Long Chen was badly shocked. He had never seen such a thing happen. With lightning wings on his back, he raced toward the direction of those lights.
After an incense stick’s time, booming noises filled the air. Pillars of light pierced the heavens, shaking the world.
Up ahead was a deep ravine, so large that Long Chen couldn’t see the other side of it. Black runes swirled above it, forming an immense barrier. Inside, countless experts were locked in battle—not with each other, but with beams of light.
These white and jade-like beams streaked through the air like shooting stars. Wherever they struck, experts disintegrated along with their weapons.
“Are those beams of light… treasures?” Long Chen muttered in shock as he approached the barrier.
The moment he touched it, he froze. “This is… lunar energy?”
The barrier’s flame-like energy felt oddly familiar, and to his surprise, it didn’t block his entry.
“Die!”
The moment Long Chen entered the barrier, an explosive sound rang out. A vajra scepter, brimming with immense Heavenly Dao energy, tore through the void toward him.
Startled by the pressure, Long Chen turned to see a four-vein Heaven Saint attacking. Though the man’s aura wasn’t particularly strong, his Heavenly Dao energy was overwhelming.
Long Chen’s anger flared. This person wasn’t really strong, but thanks to his four heaven veins, he could give Long Chen a bit of trouble.
At this moment, this person was shocked. Even without a single heaven vein around him, Long Chen had caught his scepter barehanded.
The attacker staggered back, his expression incredulous. He roared and charged again, but before he could react, Long Chen vanished.
CRACK!
A brick struck the back of his head, caving it in. His four heaven veins dispersed as he collapsed, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Long Chen only wanted to figure out what was going on here, so he didn’t linger. This was no time to be bogged down. Leaving the stunned attacker behind, he moved deeper into the barrier.
The world within was vast, filled with countless beams of light darting in every direction. Screams echoed as the beams of light crushed more experts. But despite knowing this place was incredibly dangerous, more people charged in.
At the heart of the barrier, an intense battle raged. The air rippled with the clash of heaven vein dragon qi, and the void itself was torn asunder.
“If it’s this lively, there must be a supreme treasure!” Long Chen muttered, excitement surging through him.
He accelerated, weaving past beams of light and other experts. Everyone was rushing forward toward the center while dodging those beams of light.
BOOM!
A giant wielding a shield charged recklessly, only to be struck by a beam of light. He was instantly annihilated, his powerful Blood Qi unable to save him.
The sight shocked Long Chen. These beams of light were truly powerful. Moreover, their long tails posed an additional hazard. As they flew around the air, anyone might accidentally run into them and get hurt.
Through the chaos, Long Chen glimpsed what was inside one of the beams: a blurry figure that left him dumbfounded.
“A rabbit?!”
It was a rabbit—a creature universally regarded as weak. Yet, somehow, it wielded this devastating power.
“You fools, you dare to challenge a son of Brahma for this treasure? Are you tired of living?!”
A thunderous voice boomed as an explosion of divine energy illuminated the battlefield. Within that light, Long Chen saw Fantian De holding his silver sword. His Heavenly Fate Disk was behind him, and six heaven vein dragon qi swirled around him. He stood like an invincible god here.
Beneath his feet lay another barrier, and within it was a withered, ancient tree.
Long Chen’s heart pounded. “A Moon Tree!”
