Chapter 5732 Violet Blood Race
Several days later, the Jewel Blood Devil emerged from the void, its devil flames erupting violently as it carried Long Zhantian and Long Chen to a winding mountain range.
Towering peaks pierced the sky like divine swords, while colossal boulders lay scattered across the land. Wisps of clouds coiled around the mountains, their mist shimmering with immortal qi. Divine light flickered around the area, and nameless immortal birds circled above, their clear cries echoing through the air. This place was nothing short of a wonderland.
“I didn’t expect the violet blood race to be hidden here,” said Long Chen.
“When I came last time, it didn’t look like this,” said Long Zhantian, his gaze sharp as he surveyed the surroundings. “Their minor world has fully manifested, but its entrance is nowhere to be seen.”
The violet blood race’s domain was extremely well-hidden. Although the Lifehunter race had managed to confirm its general location, they couldn’t find the actual entrance.
Long Zhantian had once tracked the Lifehunter experts to this very place. At the time, they were scouring every inch of the land, but despite their efforts, they couldn’t find a way in.
Instead of searching aimlessly, Long Zhantian had taken a more direct approach—he launched an assault, slaughtering every Lifehunter expert in the region before vanishing. He then remained hidden, observing the aftermath for an entire month. Only then did he catch a fleeting spatial fluctuation as the violet blood race revealed themselves. That was how he confirmed their true location.
However, Long Zhantian didn’t make direct contact with them. Instead, he left to find Long Chen.
“Chen-er, the last time I came here, I saw your grandfather,” said Long Zhantian.
“Grandpa? Did you speak to him?” asked Long Chen hastily.
He knew Luo Zichuan harbored resentment toward his father due to his mother’s willfulness. If the two had met, things might have turned ugly.
Shaking his head, Long Zhantian replied, “I didn’t dare to expose myself. It seems… your grandfather’s situation isn’t good. And it might be because of me…”
Long Zhantian sighed, then finally recounted what had happened that day.
He had been concealed when he saw an elder—his father-in-law, Luo Zichuan.
During their time together, Long Chen had described Luo Zichuan’s appearance to Long Zhantian in great detail. But even if he hadn’t, Long Zhantian would have recognized him immediately. The blood soul fluctuations Luo Zichuan emanated were almost identical to those of his wife.
“What’s wrong?” asked Long Chen, his expression darkening.
Long Zhantian met his gaze and said, “Our goal is to reunite our family. You must stay calm. Otherwise, your mother might suffer the consequences. Not everything in this world can be resolved through brute force. I’m telling you this so you can be mentally prepared. There will be many obstacles, and I… I am not in a position to handle them. I can only rely on you. Do you understand?”
Clans with deep heritage all had strict rules about other bloodlines. The fact that Long Zhantian had chosen to warn him meant that the violet blood race’s stance was likely rigid.
“Dad, don’t worry. I will make sure to take it easy,” Long Chen assured him.
Long Zhantian nodded. “Good. Use the method I taught you to conceal your other powers. Only let your violet blood power out.”
Long Chen focused, and a faint violet mist spread around him while the traces of his other energies faded into nothingness.
All of Long Zhantian’s teachings revolved around control—control of the finest details. Concealing one’s aura was just the basics. What he required of Long Chen was far more advanced. Long Chen needed to have true mastery over his presence, the ability to seamlessly switch between different auras at will.
Simply hiding an aura wouldn’t fool top-tier experts, but controlling and altering it? That was a different story. It could fool even the best of the best.
Of course, fooling them wasn’t the real goal. This was just a method of testing Long Chen’s control. If someone could still see through Long Chen’s disguise, it meant he had failed to meet Long Zhantian’s standard.
Just then, a cold voice rang out—
“Stop right there!”
Dozens of figures flew out from the surrounding mountains. However, the moment they saw the Jewel Blood Devil, their expressions changed drastically.
They were all young disciples in the Heaven Saint realm, with around six core veins. They were quite talented for their age.
Despite that, the Jewel Blood Devil’s violet-crown pressure terrified them. One of them instinctively crushed a jade talisman.
Instantly, barriers flared to life across the mountain range, radiating a powerful divine might. Moments later, another group of over ten experts flew over, led by a figure exuding immense pressure—a violet-crown Divine Emperor.
Long Chen’s heart trembled. As expected of the violet blood race. The pressure this man exuded was at least ten times greater than Zuo Yan’s.
The Divine Emperor’s gaze flickered between Long Chen and Long Zhantian. The moment he saw the Jewel Blood Devil, his expression darkened. He probed Long Zhantian’s energy and then turned to Long Chen.
He was clearly puzzled.
How was it that this youngster had such pure violet blood fluctuations?
In fact, Long Chen’s violet blood aura seemed even purer than that of most violet blood race experts. And strangely, Long Zhantian also had traces of violet blood power…
Long Zhantian cupped his fists. “Warriors of the violet blood race, allow me to introduce myself. I am Long Zhantian, and my wife is of your clan. This is our son, Long Chen.”
Long Chen bowed. “Long Chen greets Senior.”
The Divine Emperor’s wariness dropped once Long Zhantian had introduced himself. The undeniable presence of violet blood in Long Chen’s veins made it difficult for him to view them as outsiders.
“I am Huang Chang, a Divine Guard Elder of the violet blood race,” the man finally said. “Your origins remain unclear, so I must report to the race leader first. However, if you do not mind, you may accompany me inside.”
Although Huang Chang was no longer hostile, his gaze was still wary.
After all, Long Zhantian and the Jewel Blood Devil radiated immense pressure. But once inside the grand formation, they would be within the violet blood race’s domain. This offer was also a test.
Long Zhantian smiled slightly. “Then we’ll trouble you.”
With that, both he and Long Chen dismounted the Jewel Blood Devil.
This act won them some goodwill. Had they remained seated and entered so arrogantly, it would have been a blatant show of disrespect.
Furthermore, after jumping off, Long Zhantian turned and spoke a few words to the Jewel Blood Devil. It nodded before vanishing into the void.
This gesture reassured Huang Chang. The violet blood race wasn’t fond of other races, especially not the devils. While Long Zhantian was powerful enough that rejecting his companion outright would have been impolite, the fact that he had voluntarily sent the Jewel Blood Devil away softened their stance.
“Young friend, why don’t you have any heaven vein fluctuations?” asked one elder.
This casual question was also another probe.
Long Chen smiled. “As a disciple of the violet blood race, how could I casually condense my violet blood veins? If I did and they didn’t meet the clan’s standards, wouldn’t that make others laugh at me?”
Laughter rippled through the group.
This kid was interesting.
At the same time, they made their own assumptions—it seemed this young man had come here to use the violet blood race’s resources to condense his heaven veins.
They reached the entrance of the minor world, and a gate slowly opened.
The moment Long Chen stepped inside—
BOOM!
Violet flames erupted from his body, sending shockwaves through the air.
Gasps of astonishment echoed from the crowd.
