Chapter 5649 Abandon the Nine Stars
Through fighting Hou Tianwu, Xue Yingfeng, Xiang Tu, and the others, Long Chen learned just how many monsters existed in this world.
The main thing was that they were just one part of the Heaven Demon Alliance. If all the experts of the Heaven Demon Alliance were gathered, who knew how many monsters there would be?
Although Long Chen had the trump card of the Six Horn Fiend Fly, this trump card was a one time use. Once used, it would be gone.
Furthermore, just because he had such a trump card didn’t mean that other people didn’t have a similar one. Just a single Heaven Demon Alliance was able to cause so much trouble for Long Chen. Fantian De, Li Changgeng, Long Zaiye, and the others would make it much worse.
At that time, he would have to face all those experts, as well as defend the Dragonblood Legion.
Worst of all, he had no idea how many experts on that level existed here. Even if it was just them, who knew how many terrifying trump cards that they had? Who could say that they hadn’t obtained some shocking legacy in the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm.
Thinking of that, Long Chen felt immense pressure. But no matter what, he first had to make sure that the Dragonblood Legion received the best baptism. Long Chen was extremely unwilling to let them only absorb second-rate power.
“Senior, can you give me some pointers?” asked Long Chen.
“For now, abandon condensing your astral veins. Instead, cultivate dragon blood heaven veins,” said the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign immediately, as if it had predicted Long Chen’s question.
“Huh?”
Long Chen was baffled. Abandon his astral veins to condense dragon blood veins?
“There are two reasons. One is that your astral veins require too much natural energy. It will take you too long to condense them. The second reason is that the Eight Star Battle Armor still has many flaws. It has not reached its peak yet. Before that, you will not be able to see how to change its form. Your Nine Star Hegemon Body Art has been taken on an entirely new path. If you don’t change the Eight Star Battle Armor’s form, you will not be able to unleash your full astral energy.”
Long Chen was startled. The primal chaos Dragon Sovereign’s vision was truly sharp. It was right on point.
Ever since he condensed the Five Star Battle Armor, he had forcibly changed his cultivation path. He had put himself on a path unique to himself.
The Eight Star Battle Armor was in its most basic state right now. Furthermore, it had not reached its peak yet. Long Chen and his eight stars had yet to reach their full power.
He didn’t dare to try changing the form of his eight stars in this state. Doing so in this state was extremely dangerous.
He had to wait until his current Eight Star Battle Armor reached its peak. As for what that peak was, Long Chen also didn’t know. He only had a feeling that once he reached it, he would know.
For now, all he felt was that the Eight Star Battle Armor was still lacking something, but as for what it was, he didn’t know.
Thus, his current thought was to finish condensing his astral veins before anything else.
However, the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign’s advice made him indecisive. According to the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign, he didn’t have that much time left.
When the time came, if everyone else had condensed nine core veins while he was stuck at six or seven, wouldn’t he be beaten like a dog?
“There’s no need to rush your astral veins. I’m just saying to give up on them for now so you can deal with the current crisis.” The primal chaos Dragon Sovereign seemed to see through Long Chen’s concerns.
“Then I’ll do as senior says. I’ll cultivate dragon blood heaven veins. Can senior guide me?”
Long Chen clenched his teeth and ultimately decided to abandon his astral veins for now. There was no way around it. He needed to deal with more pressing matters.
He believed that the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign wouldn’t harm him. However, his astral energy was in the midst of rapidly growing. Having him give up on it, even if it was just temporary, was still difficult.
“I will transmit a technique to you. Once things settle inside and outside of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, you can immediately get started,” said the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign. A rune appeared in Long Chen’s mind.
“Is this an original Jiuli immortal character?”
When Long Chen saw that rune, he didn’t recognize it, but his intuition told him that it was an original Jiuli immortal character.
“Ignore it for now. Settle things outside and calm your heart. I will teach you how to comprehend it,” said the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign.
Long Chen nodded and pressed his hand on the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. It quivered, and countless runes flowed on top of it, forming millions of chains. Now the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had entered its strongest defensive state.
With this, even if people did attack the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, it wouldn’t disturb the people inside.
“Big brother Long!”
Even though Tang Wan-er was constantly cajoling Wilde, he was still uneasy. Seeing Long Chen come out, he was overjoyed.
“Wilde, you just fought a large battle. You should rest. Go to sleep.” Long Chen saw weariness in Wilde’s eyes.
“I’m not tired! I’m worried that once I go to sleep, I won’t see you again.” Wilde shook his head fervently. There were countless times that he saw Long Chen in his dreams, only to wake up.
Long Chen felt a wave of pain when he saw Wilde like this. This child was as pure as ever. Even now, he was afraid that he was dreaming.
“Wilde, go to sleep. Otherwise, when the bad people return, you won’t have your power. Be good and sleep. We’ll guard you, and if there’s danger, we’ll wake you up.” Long Chen patted Wilde’s shoulder. His voice also became slow and heavy. Wilde instantly felt even more tired. With a few pats, he fell asleep.
Long Chen arranged for four of the Hidden Dragon warriors to look after him. He understood Wilde very well. His power was shocking, but his energy consumption was even more shocking.
Thus, he had to sleep a great deal in order to reduce his energy consumption. Otherwise, his rations really would only last him a few days. Then he would be starving and be weak in battle.
Once Wilde was asleep, he called over the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s experts. At this time, they looked at Long Chen like he was a god.
Hou Tianwu, Xue Yingfeng, Xiang Tu, every single one of them was an incredibly powerful monster. In front of them, they felt like they were as weak as ants.
But these terrifying experts were still beaten one by one by Long Chen. Although Wilde came in the end to save him, it did not affect Long Chen’s image in their hearts.
“All of you were willing to risk death to protect my brothers. I, Long Chen, will remember this favor.”
After saying that, he turned to Tang Wan-er. “The Emperor reverse scale has started awakening. Heavenly Doyen energy is gushing out. It’s the optimal time for everyone to power up.”
Long Chen waved his hand, and an enormous tree appeared. The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree’s divine light illuminated the world.
Three thousand stars circulated within its crown. Upon seeing those runes, Tang Wan-er covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
