Chapter 5606 Each Getting What They Want
Everyone was shocked when they saw Long Chen’s actions. After all, this barrier was unshakable.
The full-power attack of a nine-vein Heaven Saint from the devil race had shattered on contact with it, and the backlash had caused that devil expert to explode. After that, even the explosion failed to leave a mark on the barrier. Yet, Long Chen dared to touch it with his bare hands?
People held their breaths as they watched Long Chen. If Long Chen tried to destroy the barrier with brute force, he would be blown to pieces instantly.
When Long Chen’s hands touched the barrier, countless runes flowed out of his hands and spread throughout the entire barrier.
BOOM!
Following that, his astral dragon qi appeared behind him and charged into the barrier. The qi swirled and danced over the surface, causing the barrier to dim rapidly.
As the three astral dragon qi entered the barrier, a translucent, another three-foot-long dragon qi materialized behind Long Chen. He smirked. “This barrier’s power is beyond expectations!”
In a single breath, his fourth astral vein emerged, which showcased just how powerful the devouring speed of his three astral veins was. The moment they entered the barrier, the barrier’s light faded, and its aura plummeted.
Everyone was left dumbfounded. Not only had Long Chen revealed himself to be a mere three-vein Heaven Saint, but his ability to absorb the barrier’s power was beyond their imagination.
Behind him, the three-foot-long dragon qi rapidly swelled, its translucent form glowing brighter as stars started to shimmer across its surface. Its sudden explosive increase in power made everyone jump.
Finally, they realized that Long Chen was absorbing the barrier’s energy to raise his own realm.
As the barrier rapidly withered, fine cracks spread across its surface like a spiderweb.
“The barrier is about to break! Quick, grab the battle armor!”
A desperate shout rang out, and countless experts rushed forward. Among them, Lu Qingshuang had already prepared herself and dashed in with lightning speed.
BOOM!
The barrier shattered, and Long Chen stepped through the crumbling remnants, his gaze fixed on the battle armor. Without hesitation, he reached out to claim it.
“Stop, it’s dangerous!” Lu Qingshuang hastily cried out.
As a priceless treasure of the Sacred Light Divine Sect, the armor required the activation of a legacy bloodline and a specific secret art to secure it. Otherwise, its ancient formation would awaken and obliterate anyone who dared touch it.
But her warning came too late. Long Chen’s hand was already on the armor.
A burst of divine light erupted as the formation activated. Lu Qingshuang’s heart sank with regret. She hadn’t expected Long Chen to break through the barrier so quickly, and now it seemed too late to save him from the armor’s backlash.
The moment Long Chen’s hand made contact, a violent force surged into his palm, sending a sharp, burning pain coursing through his body. He struggled to hold on, his grip faltering.
“Catch!” Long Chen shouted.
With a swift motion, he threw the armor toward Lu Qingshuang.
The Dark Golden Battle Armor streaked through the air, leaving a trail of divine brilliance in its wake. Its power was so overwhelming that it tore through the void as if splitting reality itself.
Lu Qingshuang’s surprise turned to delight. Wasting no time, she bit her fingertip and sketched sixteen blood-colored runes into the air.
“It’s mine!” someone else shouted, casting a net toward the armor.
Lu Qingshuang didn’t even glance at the attacker, but a faint smirk of disdain crossed her face.
BOOM!
The battle armor pulsed with divine light, obliterating the net and its owner at the same time. A powerful eight-vein Heaven Saint died without even understanding what was happening.
Countless others attempted to claim the armor, only to meet the same fate. No matter their strength or approach, anyone who touched it perished.
The Dark Golden Battle Armor finally reached Lu Qingshuang and merged with her blood runes. It quivered briefly before rapidly absorbing her bloodline energy.
“Stop her! The human race doesn’t deserve such a treasure!” an expert from another race roared.
In an instant, the battlefield descended into chaos. The Golden Armor Horseman Legion became the focus of countless attacks. The experts throughout the battlefield flooded toward them.
Lu Qingshuang had said more than once that this Dark Golden Battle Armor was the treasure of the Sacred Light Divine Sect and no one else could take it.
However, who would believe such a thing? In this world, over ninety percent of the divine weapons were forged by humans, but so what? Which race didn’t have the divine weapons of the human race? As long as they could subdue the weapons, they would own them.
After all, history was rife with examples of humans being slain by divine weapons forged by their own race. Hence, these experts refused to believe that they couldn’t subdue this divine weapon. To them, the only barrier to claiming this treasure was strength.
Meanwhile, Long Chen’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “I’ve struck gold again!”
When the barrier burst, it revealed an enormous Heavenly Doyen Divine Marrow. Just as Long Chen had predicted, such a priceless treasure required immense energy to sustain its existence and resist the ravages of time. The marrow was his true target.
BOOM!
Long Chen formed hand seals, and four heavenly pillars rose around him. The Four Guardians Heaven Merging Formation activated, igniting the marrow and drawing the world’s natural energy toward it.
As Long Chen hovered in midair, his dragon qi devoured the energy greedily. His fourth astral vein expanded at a shocking speed, leaving him astonished.
BOOM!
Thanks to the aid of the other three astral veins, the fourth vein quickly reached full saturation, its energy flowing seamlessly into the other three, balancing their power. But the energy wasn’t exhausted yet.
A few breaths later, a translucent fifth astral vein started to take form. Long Chen was overjoyed by this. However, this fifth astral vein required far too much energy. In the end, it barely reached a tenth of the size of the other veins before the energy was depleted.
“The fifth astral vein’s consumption is terrifying,” he muttered, his heart pounding.
Suddenly, a shout from Lu Qingshuang drew his attention.
“Die!”
Her voice carried a terrifying aura that made Long Chen whip his head toward her. The Dark Golden Battle Armor was now on Lu Qingshuang.
“Now there’ll be a good show,” Long Chen said, a smile tugging his lips.
