Chapter 6080 Endless Starry Sea Energy
“Kill!”
A furious roar split the heavens. At this moment, the Brahma Divine Diagram loomed across the sky like a blot on the sun.
Evilmoon sliced through the void, cutting both the Brahma Divine Diagram and a double-body Sovereign Lord clean in two.
BOOM!
Long Chen struck Lord Brahma’s statue, blowing apart its head. When the faith energy gushed out, the Earth Cauldron immediately absorbed it.
With a wave of his hand, Long Chen gathered the corpses on the ground before vanishing once more.
From his arrival to his departure, only a few breaths had passed. When he reappeared, he was already in the next location of the Heaven Peering Divine Mirror.
BOOM!
Long Chen blew apart the mirror with a punch. Just then, a terrifying pressure locked onto him, almost suffocating him.
“Not good, it’s a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord!” Long Chen exclaimed, his expression changing.
“Go!” the Earth Cauldron barked.
Divine light instantly enveloped Long Chen, whisking him away. This time, it didn’t even bother absorbing the faith energy.
Although Long Chen didn’t fear double-body Sovereign Lords, third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords were an entirely different matter. He wasn’t qualified to challenge them.
Moreover, his mission wasn’t to fight—it was to destroy the Heaven Peering Divine Mirrors. Every second counted.
Fortunately, Long Chen had the Earth Cauldron. Even if he encountered a Third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord, he could just run.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s fist struck another statue of Lord Brahma, blowing its head. He finally sighed in relief.
When Long Chen looked at his palm, he saw that the eye-shaped diagram had vanished. He had indeed shattered thirty-six Heaven Peering Divine Mirrors, all in the span of three incense sticks.
During this mission, Long Chen encountered three third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords. One of them locked onto him the moment he appeared.
There was no time to shatter the mirror. In the end, Lei Linger had to sacrifice one of her clones to do it in his place.
As for Long Chen, he exchanged a direct blow with that Sovereign Lord. If not for the Earth Cauldron deflecting part of the attack, he would’ve been annihilated on the spot.
“How is a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord that terrifying?!” Long Chen shuddered at the memory.
“A third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord corresponds to the principle of 'three births all things,'” explained the Earth Cauldron. “At this level, their control over spatial laws undergoes a fundamental transformation. The gap between a second and third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord is vast. You are not their match—unless...”
“Unless what?” asked Long Chen curiously.
“Unless you can break the laws of space like Yue Zifeng. Once he reaches the mid Human Emperor realm and merges Emperor power into his Sword Dao, he’ll be able to challenge such power,” the Earth Cauldron replied.
“Break the laws of space...” Long Chen muttered, sinking into thought.
“There’s no point thinking about things so far ahead,” the Earth Cauldron said. “Your goal now is to advance to the first Heavenstage and master your Emperor power. After that, you must begin forging the ultimate form of your Eight Star Battle Armor.”
After saying that, the Earth Cauldron said that it had absorbed so much faith energy that it needed to refine it. It then returned to the primal chaos space to go into seclusion.
“Wait, bring me back to the Dragon Domain first!” said Long Chen urgently.
However, the Earth Cauldron had already gone silent.
He thought about it and sighed. Even if he returned, all he would be doing was... going into seclusion. What difference did it make then? If anything, being alone would be more peaceful.
Reaching the first Heavenstage of the Human Emperor realm was comparatively easy. With such dense spiritual qi in the air, there was no need to use spirit-gathering formations.
With the Earth Cauldron in seclusion and the Demon Moon Cauldron also recovering from tribulation, he could only rely on himself to advance.
In the meantime, he decided to revisit the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.
Although Long Chen had condensed the basic Eight Star Battle Armor long ago, he still hadn’t grasped its advanced state. After the cultivation path of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art had changed, the old star battle armors could no longer unleash the full potential of his astral energy.
Since the Five Star Battle Armor, he had been refining custom advanced forms on his own. Though difficult, he had managed. But now, he was stuck at the Eight Star Battle Armor with no progress in sight.
Furthermore, even after advancing to the Human Emperor realm, he hadn’t awakened his ninth star. In other words, his cultivation base had yet to reach the necessary level to condense the ninth star.
Since Long Chen’s Eight Star Battle Armor had fallen behind his needs, he had to complete its ultimate form.
While his dragon blood remained formidable, his violet blood was rich with mysteries, and his Supreme Blood held limitless potential, Long Chen still firmly believed—the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was his strongest asset.
He just lacked the key to unlock it.
Right now, Long Chen was in a barren wasteland, far from civilization or sects. With so many others still undergoing tribulation, not many people would venture here. There was little chance anyone would come here and disturb him.
While Long Chen sat mid-air, the eight-color divine ring appeared along with his starry sea. The spiritual qi of heaven and earth surged toward him once more.
In the blink of an eye, his starry sea stretched across the world, and stars lit up all over his body. At this moment, he couldn’t tell whether the stars of the heavens were shining down on him, or if it was he who lit up the heavens.
His divine ring rotated, drawing in the power of heaven and earth. But Long Chen ignored it. His consciousness sank into his starry sea.
As his mind tugged on the vast celestial current, his starry sea started to flow. In this realm, he was the master of the stars. He could draw out their boundless power at will.
This was his first time closely examining his astral energy after reaching the Human Emperor realm, and it made his scalp tingle.
His starry sea brimmed with terrifying energy. It was so vast, so violent that it could obliterate mountains, shatter worlds... or even destroy him.
If Long Chen could control it, it would be his strongest weapon. If he failed to, it would become his fiery tomb.
In any case, this starry sea was something he had to respect. Even though Long Chen was its master, he had to be cautious when it came to it.
Long Chen slowly examined the flow of his starry sea, which seemed like a beast that could destroy the world. If he wanted to use it, he would have to take it slowly.
Long Chen spent hours carefully observing the flow of energy. Slowly, the stars started to align, taking on the forms of mountains, rivers, divine beasts, and ancient palaces.
As Long Chen sensed the changes in his astral energy, he was shocked to find that each form could condense a different kind of power—sometimes vast and crushing, other times subtle and refined.
“Aiya... if I accidentally detonated this energy, I don’t know if it would kill my enemy. But it would definitely kill me!”
By the time he concluded his examination, Long Chen was drenched in cold sweat.
