Chapter 5632 Shameless Bastard
“Impressive. You’re truly strong. But your guts are even stronger. You actually dared to carry out such a crazy idea to brand all the divine runes on your soul. Were you not afraid of your starry sea exploding?”
Just then, the Earth Cauldron’s voice rang out. It sounded both impressed and worried.
Clearly, it was clearer than anyone on the power of these divine runes. Long Chen had practically been messing around. The slightest slip could have cripplied him.
If it had been capable of communicating with him before, it would not have let Long Chen do something so foolish no matter what. Now, Long Chen had already finished, and it was still sweating for him. This had actually been incredibly dangerous.
Looking at the three thousand stars that had exploded until only their cores remained, the Earth Cauldron felt like its heart might burst. Of course, it didn’t really have a body of flesh and blood, but the feeling was the same.
“Senior, what happened? Why couldn’t I sense any of you?” asked Long Chen, delighted to hear it.
“The Jiuli Divine Stele’s runes clashed with my own runes. Because I am still in the early stages of recovery, if I were to fight against it, not only would it exhaust my core energy, but it would not be beneficial to your comprehension. However, I never thought that rather than comprehending them, you would just brand them into your soul,” said the Earth Cauldron.
“Hehe, comprehension takes time. Branding them allows me to comprehend them whenever I have time,” chuckled Long Chen.
“Your appetite is voracious. You’re greedy. With this, the power that should be yours has been exhausted. You will no longer be able to use the Jiuli Divine Stele’s power to comprehend them. It can be said that there were benefits and drawbacks,” said the Earth Cauldron.
“No worries. Even without its power, I have the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree. I’m not worried about not being able to comprehend them. If I only comprehended ten divine runes here and lost my chance to comprehend so many others, that would be a huge loss,” said Long Chen.
Long Chen was not at all worried about this matter. The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree could increase his comprehension power, letting him gain insights faster. He was extremely confident in this miraculous and mysterious tree.
The space around Long Chen quivered. The Jiuli Divine Stele’s runes ignited. Long Chen sighed when he saw this. This was the best moment to comprehend the runes. Regrettably, all the runes he had branded on his stars had gone into a slumber. He was unable to comprehend them for now.
“I should leave this opportunity to them!”
Long Chen suddenly had a thought. He pressed his hands on the Jiuli Divine Stele. The divine light surging out of it slowly clumped together.
…
On the seventh level, tens of millions of experts from the Northern Alliance were communing with the barrier, sensing their souls merging with the runes.
The runes here were all the basic forms of the divine runes. Although they were elementary forms, they still contained the essence of heaven and earth. Comprehending them would be extremely beneficial to their futures.
The Northern Alliance’s experts were fully focused on comprehending these runes. They knew this was an incredibly rare chance for them.
Just being able to come here was a huge opportunity. It had to be known that this place was practically owned by the divine clans. They had to comprehend as much as they could within a limited time. The moment the Jiuli Divine Stele’s world closed, they had to run. They were worried about the divine clans making things hard on them. After all, for them to take a part of the divine clans’ runes could easily make them envious.
Just as they were doing their best to comprehend these runes, a wave of divine light shot out of the barrier and enveloped all of them.
“This is…!”
All of them were shocked. They lost their sight. Instead, they saw countless ignited runes pouring towards them. These are complete divine runes!”
They almost shouted. What they had been comprehending before were only elementary forms. They weren’t the true divine runes.
Now they saw one complete divine rune after another. They felt like they were dreaming. The fire of their souls was instantly ignited.
“AH!”
Just then, all of them screamed. At first they just saw a mass of runes, but then they felt summons form specific runes. Those runes instantly merged into their souls. Their souls shuddered. These runes were like hot iron branding their souls.
The pain of the soul was the most painful. Although most of the energy of these runes had been exhausted, the ignited power was still too much for them. They clutched their heads and screamed.
“Fools. This is the consequence of not knowing your own power. Did you think you ants could comprehend what belongs to the divine clans?”
Seeing the Northern Alliance’s state, the surrounding experts of the divine clans sneered disdainfully.
They had been a bit angry, and even a bit jealous to see the Northern Alliance reach this level. However, they had numbers, while they also wanted to get to the next level faster, so no one had touched them yet.
Seeing them screaming, they thought that they had received a backlash from the barrier, and mocked them for their misfortune.
This divine light was only visible to the Northern Alliance. These outsiders had no idea what was going on.
This divine light faded. The Northern Alliance’s experts were all as pale as paper. Their Spiritual Strength had been incinerated.
However, all of them were filled with disbelief. After this wave of divine runes, many of them now had a complete divine rune branded on their souls.
“This is…”
“Shut your mouth!” Their leader shouted angrily, forbidding that person to speak. When those divine runes faded, he saw a divine stele along with a figure beside it. Although that figure was a bit blurry, he recognized who it was.
“The inheritance of the divine clans isn’t something that we can touch! We’re leaving.” Their leader waved his hand, and under the mocking stares of the divine clans’ experts, they dejectedly left.
However, the divine clans’ experts didn’t notice that while these people looked to be in pain and dejected, their eyes were full of joy and excitement.
Long Chen watched as the Northern Alliance left. He smiled. These fellows were quite smart.
At this time, the Jiuli Divine Stele behind him was becoming dark. Long Chen suddenly grabbed it just as it was collapsing, and smashing it where Long Zaiye was.
BOOM!
The Jiuli Divine Stele in front of Long Chen exploded. The moment it exploded, a large hole appeared in space.
Long Chen dove into this hole. Once half his body was through, he saw Long Zaiye’s confused and astonished face.
“You shameless bastard, what are you looking at?”
Almost reflexively, Long Chen slapped Long Zaiye in the face.
