Chapter 6418 Great Circle of the Peak Realm
Long Chen’s Sovereign flames burned intensely, devouring the energy absorbed by his Supreme Bone.
999 Sovereign flames, and each one had been pushed to the brink of its power. Yet, although immensely strong, their auras were too unstable. They were like wild horses hard to rein in.
BOOM!
Long Chen stood up and clenched his fist. The next moment, wild qi waves surged out, and the entire Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest trembled. Sensing this wild power, Long Chen was shocked.
Compared with when I first condensed my 999th flame, my power has multiplied. Is this the great circle of the peak realm?
As Long Chen used a one-handed seal, his dragon flame Sovereign flames vanished, replaced with seven-colored Sovereign flames—the flames of his Supreme Blood.
Seven different kinds of energy condensed within them, and each of them felt like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
The seven-color Sovereign flames then faded, giving way to his violet-blood Sovereign flames. There were 999 of them now, but these violet flames carried a gentler nature.
Forming new hand seals, he drew those violet flames into his palm. Then, a cross of concentrated Sovereign energy manifested and made the void itself cry out.
The Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest trembled uneasily, as the power contained within Long Chen’s palm was too terrifying. Even though Long Chen was half the master of the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest, it still quivered in terror.
The Sovereign flames eased away naturally, without draining more of Long Chen’s power than necessary.
“My violet blood doesn’t specialize in offense, yet right now, it’s my greatest strength,” Long Chen muttered, studying the violet flames.
Feeling the unending power coming from them, he was filled with delight.
His dragon blood and Supreme Blood were too violent—each Sovereign flame like a wild horse. Subduing one was already hard enough, but a whole herd of them? That was incredibly difficult.
On the other hand, his violet blood was like a gentle mother. It gave Long Chen all its power, alongside its protection. It wouldn’t let its power harm him.
Furthermore, Long Chen found that his violet blood energy slowly softened the violent power of the dragon blood and Supreme Blood, slowly removing their wild nature.
In theory, Sovereign flame energy came from the karmic luck of heaven and earth. It should be gentle and controllable. However, Long Chen’s was quite violent.
Long Chen suspected that because he had seized the karmic luck from outsider experts, it carried traces of their violent nature and needed purification.
Even though Long Chen’s 999 Sovereign flames had reached full power, he still couldn’t sense any blessing from the Heavenly Daos.
He didn’t know if it was because the laws of the heaven region’s battlefield were too restrictive, or because the energy he had seized was forcibly taken. Whatever the reason, unlike Ming Cang, he felt no trace of the Heavenly Daos’ support.
Long Chen could still harness Heavenly Dao energy, but only by suppressing it with his own strength. He was forcing it into submission rather than receiving it willingly. One was something that automatically happened; the other was something forced. That point alone put Long Chen at an immense disadvantage.
However, Long Chen didn’t care. As long as he was strong enough, who cared if the Heavenly Daos refused to look after him?
At that thought, his eyes flickered. The Heavenly Daos... Heaven Cauldron... Qian Jie... Ying Wudao.
Qian Jie, the master of the Heaven Cauldron, was destined to be his mortal enemy. In any case, anyone capable of subduing the Heaven Cauldron could never be ordinary.
As for Ying Wudao, Long Chen wasn’t sure whether he was friend or foe. However, he had condensed his 999 Sovereign flames at an astonishing pace. By now, he had likely already merged them.
“It’s a good thing my Supreme Bone awakened when it did,” Long Chen muttered to himself. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to keep up. I thought I was the only one with a cheat, but it seems every top heavenly genius has their own.”
Long Xu had his forbidden Slaughter Spear, Ming Cang had an ancestral secret land to elevate his power, while Long Wu had a terrifying companion monster to summon. Every one of those so-called top experts carried a trump card of their own.
“I wonder how that fellow Mo Nian is doing? Well, he got plenty of evil tricks. I’m sure he’s doing well. He always does.”
At first, Long Chen had been a bit worried. But when he thought of all the trump cards Mo Nian had, as well as that treasure-seeking compass, Long Chen chuckled. That guy would never fall behind.
When Long Chen came out of seclusion, he saw the rhino dragon experts already gathered in the main hall.
When Long Chen appeared, all of them stood, their gazes reverent. As Long Chen’s gaze swept across them, he realized that over ten thousand had successfully condensed 999 Sovereign flames.
“Lord Long Chen!”
Xi Yuanqing stepped forward and bowed. He had reached the great circle of the peak Human Emperor realm—the threshold before merging his Sovereign flames.
When they had first met, Xi Yuanqing’s 999 Sovereign flames had been a fragile illusion. He knew that upon returning to the nine heavens, his realm would likely fall. To maintain even 997 flames would have been a miracle.
Now, after receiving their ancestor’s blessing and experiencing the support of the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest and Bai Fan’s guidance, they had stabilized their realm and foundation. In short, even if they left this place, their realms would not fall. That was an unbelievable dream for them.
As their leader, Xi Yuanqing wanted to speak on behalf of everyone, to voice their gratitude to Long Chen, but he found himself unable to say anything. Nothing he could say could convey their true emotions.
Long Chen patted Xi Yuanqing’s shoulder. “You received the blessing of your ancestors. But at the same time, you also inherited the burden they were carrying. You should know what you have to do now, right?”
“We will not disappoint our ancestors! We will repay the humiliation a thousandfold!” shouted Xi Yuanqing.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Thinking of the humiliation their ancestors had suffered, the rhino dragon experts erupted in killing intent. Their roars shook the hall.
BOOM!
All of a sudden, the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest quivered. It was under attack. An explosive impact rocked the nest, and a terrifying force coursed through everyone, making them stagger.
“Brothers, we’ve encountered a group of foolish fellows. Move out and exercise your muscles!” Long Chen snorted and led them out of the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest.
