Chapter 5631 Three Thousand Divine Runes
One star after another exploded, leaving behind only the core. Afterwards, after merging with the divine rune, it formed an entirely new star.
This star only had its core left. It was less than one ten thousandth its original size. But their auras were deeper and heavier.
The divine rune seemed to have found a suitable land for it to grow in, while the star seemed to have been bestowed with new life, and also gave off different fluctuations.
However, it seemed that this merger exhausted all the star’s energy, and the star and the divine rune fell into a slumber.
Long Chen was delighted to see the stars seem to undergo what looked like a phoenix’s rebirth. Although he had to go through a hellish torture, it was all worth it.
Seven… eight… Long Chen absorbed over thirty divine runes into his body. But doing so left him dazed and dizzy. His Spiritual Strength was being exhausted.
At this time, Long Chen suddenly noticed that the divine runes that had merged with his starry sea were showing signs of awakening. However, what was frightening was that they seemed to be trying to leave his starry sea and return to the divine stele.
This discovery instantly made his heart sink. He suddenly thought of a possibility. Perhaps these three thousand divine runes needed to be moved over in one go. It was like they were one body. If he couldn’t take them all at once, these runes would return to the stele.
Long CHen had only just taken thirty runes, but his Spiritual Strength was exhausted. If this continued, he would definitely fail.
However, his connection to the Earth Cauldron, Evilmono, and even the primal chaos space was lost. Obtaining their help was impossible.
Long Chen began to panic. Just as he saw all his efforts slipping away, Long Chen suddenly turned to the Jiuli Divine Stele. Clenching his teeth, a seven-color blood rune appeared on his hand, and a whirlpool appeared.
Blood-colored chains stretched out like veins from Long Chen’s hand. He was surprised that there was absolutely no repulsion from the Jiuli Divine Stele. It didn’t resist.
The entire Jiuli Divine Stele was bound. Long Chen closed his eyes and used his full heart and soul to commune with it. He wanted to merge with the entire Jiuli Divine Stele.
This was the only way to stop any rejection with the Jiuli Divine Stele. If the Jiuli Divine Stele stopped rejecting him, then the Jiuli divine runes in his body would no longer be in such a rush to leave his body. That would buy him some time.
This crude method was the only thing that Long Chen could think of. If this failed, he could only give up.
The Jiuli Divine Stele began to quiver. Divine light flowed out, entering Long Chen’s palm, flowing up his arm, and slowly enveloping all of him.
Long Chen’s began to shake. The world around him became transparent.
He saw Long Tianrui, Long Zimo, Long Zaiye, Jiang Yue’e, Feng Fei. He also saw several other figures. But he didn’t recognize them.
They were seated around the Jiuli Divine Stele, and were in the midst of communing with it. What shocked Long Chen was that they were all right beside him as well, but they couldn’t see him.
Long Chen suddenly realized that anyone who could pass the ninth barrier and come to the Jiuli Divine Stele would enter the Jiuli Divine Stele’s space. But each space was also independent, so no one could see each other.
In other words, after passing the ninth barrier, they were no longer in the same space. But now that Long Chen had merged with the Jiuli Divine Stele, he could see this world through its eyes.
Long Chen gazed into the distance and saw countless figures outside the ninth barrier. There were tens of thousands of people who had reached the outside of the ninth barrier.
There were millions of experts outside the eighth barrier, and even more outside the seventh.
He was surprised to see a group outside the seventh barrier in particular. They were the Northern Alliance that he had saved before.
They didn’t have the bloodline of the divine clans, but had still reached this level. It had to be known that ninety percent of the people on this level were from the divine clans.
Furthermore, essentially all of the Northern Alliance’s experts had arrived here. Most shocking of all, there was a halo of light above their heads.
“Are they related to the divine clans?”
Long Chen was startled. However, he quickly rejected this hypothesis. Su Yu had already said that the Four Cardinal Alliance was not one sect or clan. In order to survive in the Heaven Essence World, they had no choice but to group up.
Even if some people were related to the divine clans, there was no way that they could all be. Furthermore, that divine light above their heads was odd. Even Long Chen couldn’t tell what it was.
After merging with the Jiuli Divine Stele, Long Chen could even sense that the Jiuli Divine Stele seemed to feel slightly impartial towards them.
At this time, the starry sea in his Dantian quivered. Long Chen was delighted to see a Jiuli divine rune actually merge with a star on its own accord.
Long Chen’s jaw dropped. He had only been planning on buying himself some time by merging with the Jiuli Divine Stele. He wasn’t planning on using this method to absorb all the runes. He was just hoping that the runes that he had absorbed wouldn’t leave on their own.
However, unexpectedly, those divine runes found a channel to Long Chen’s soul, and sensing the starry sea, they seemed to be curious, and followed this channel into his starry sesa on their own in search for a home.
Long Chen almost wept with joy. If he had known it was this easy, he wouldn’t have had to suffer all that spiritual torture.
One Jiuli rune after another slowly flowed through this spiritual channel. Some roamed around for a while. Some passed through the Divine Gate and entered the starry sea. After swimming around the starry sea, they ultimately found a star that they liked and merged with it.
Long Chen watched with joy as this happened. He no longer needed to do anything at all. He was just waiting for them to move over on their own. As the first few started, the others began to grow more active as well.
Suddenly, he felt an intense fluctuation. He hastily looked over to see a rune flashing on Long Zaiye’s forehead. That rune then vanished, reappearing on both of his wings.
Long Chen’s heart shook. There were over ten runes branded on his wings now.
“Fuck, how can he be comprehending them so quickly?!” Long Chen was instantly outraged to see this. He thought that he was the only one capable of cheating. But now there was another.
Long Chen had an urge to charge over and slap him, but the two of them were not in the same space. He couldn’t touch him.
Long Chen’s starry sea was constantly shaking. One star after another was exploding. There were over six hundred Jiuli runes in his body now.
As more flowed into his body, they seemed to pull at the remaining ones, causing more and more to enter his starry sea.
After two hours, one final star exploded, and its core merged with a Jiuli rune. That was the final divine rune on the Jiuli Divine Stele.
Just then, all three thousand of those stars flashed. A mysterious energy connected them. They formed countless transformations filled with profundities. It was as if they were manifesting all transformations of the universe.
Just as he was planning on looking at them more closely, their light faded. All three thousand runes entered a state of slumber.
“It’s done?”
Long Chen was dumbfounded.
