Chapter 6744 Qi Current Ox Dipper
Another group arrived.
They were large creatures clad in stone battle armor, with spiral shell shields mounted on their backs. Multicolored antennae protruded from their heads, swaying faintly as they advanced.
At the front stood a man holding an emerald spear that flickered with light, emitting a strange aura.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes. His instinct warned him that this person would be troublesome.
When Long Chen noticed him, the man turned to look at Long Chen as well. He snorted coldly, and the light around his spear abruptly flared.
The next moment, the space around Long Chen collapsed without warning. However, Long Chen still looked relaxed.
That distorted space instantly shifted, reappearing around Xu Changchuan, who tried to protect Long Chen. However, the experts beside him suddenly cried out, clutching their heads in pain.
“Hmph.”
Long Chen flicked his finger. A violet ripple spread outward, and the twisted space immediately stabilized.
The surrounding Fullmoon race experts were shaken. Just moments earlier, they had been dragged into an illusion filled with their most horrifying fears, unable to resist at all.
“Interesting... Human, you shouldn’t have come here. But since you have, it’s too late for you to leave. I’ll make sure you don’t leave alive!”
“This world really has gone mad,” Long Chen replied calmly. “Since when did snails qualify as part of the ox race? Once I shatter your shells, you’ll be nothing but pitiful slugs.”
“You—!”
The Rock Crystal race’s divine son clenched his fists, killing intent flashing in his eyes. The experts behind him immediately tightened their grip on their weapons.
Xu Changchuan leaned closer to Long Chen and whispered, “He is the Rock Crystal race’s divine son, Yan Wuxin. His race specializes in spiritual attacks and summoning arts, along with many strange secret techniques. Don’t underestimate the shells on their backs—those are legacy totems. The shells allow them to borrow the power of their ancestors, greatly amplifying their Sovereign might and domain. In that regard, they have a natural advantage.”
Just then, the woman behind Xu Changchuan interjected, “That’s not all... Yan Wuxin possesses a divine blood inheritance. He can use his legacy totems to summon the power of his future self. For a short time, he can use the power of a Divine Sovereign.”
“The power of a Divine Sovereign?! Why didn’t I know that?!” demanded Xu Changchuan.
That woman curled her lips. “Whether you knew or not, you still had to come. I was planning to tell you later—so you wouldn’t feel so much pressure.”
Her blunt tone left Xu Changchuan embarrassed. He quickly introduced her to Long Chen.
“This is Yumo. She’s my most capable helper, and she’s like a younger sister to me. That’s why she dares to speak to me like that.”
“Ah, a dear good sister. No wonder!” Long Chen nodded knowingly and winked at Xu Changchuan.
Yumo instantly blushed. From her expression, Long Chen knew that he had guessed right. Her relationship with Xu Changchuan was definitely not so simple, or she wouldn’t talk to him like that.
“Big bro, please let me off. Don’t be like this,” Xu Changchuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He directly surrendered.
“Senior, you overestimate me. I am just one of the divine son’s attendants,” corrected Yumo.
What kind of attendant spoke to her master that way? Even without eyes, one could see through it. Long Chen simply smiled and let it pass. Whether they admitted it or not was none of his concern. He didn’t bother exposing them.
After all, Xu Changchuan was very handsome and a divine son to boot. Of course, many women would be admiring him.
“However, both of you should be wary of Yan Wuxin. Once he summons his future self, you should avoid fighting him directly,” warned Yumo.
“A future self...” Long Chen murmured.
He had encountered a similar divine ability in the mortal world. Now it appeared again in the immortal realm.
Long Chen was very curious about it. What kind of future self would Yan Wuxin summon? One shaped by legacy runes? Or predicted directly by the Heavenly Daos?
Would it be an innate Divine Sovereign, or an acquired one? A Sovereign of the current era, or of ancient times?
The thought intrigued him.
“Since we’re all here, we can start. So, tell me, who do you want me to kill first? Or should I kill them all?” Long Chen asked, pointing toward the two camps.
Yumo and the rest of the Fullmoon race’s disciples jumped in shock.
Yumo nervously said, “Brother Long, the Qi Current Grand Ceremony has yet to start. Let’s wait a bit! In a bit, both constellations will appear, and their divine radiance will shine down. Then, our ox demon race’s qi flow will descend.”
“Both constellations? You mean the ox constellation and the dipper constellation?” asked Long Chen.
Both were well-known star formations. So this ceremony revolved around them?
“That’s right,” Xu Changchuan replied. “They are tied to our ox demon race’s karmic luck. In the primal chaos era, they were the constellations we worshiped. After the primal chaos war, we lost our sacrificial altar and could no longer connect to them as before. Now, only during grand ceremonies can we receive the karmic luck our ancestors stored within them.
After a brief pause, he sighed. “By our generation, since we can no longer offer tribute, this may be the final withdrawal. After this, those two constellations may no longer share any destiny with our ox demon race.”
Even constellations can be worshiped? So, it’s possible to build karma between them and inherit their karmic luck?
Long Chen was deeply shaken.
Did this not mean that beyond the nine heavens and ten lands, there could be worlds with lifeforms offering worship and sacrifices to the constellations as well?
If so, then what of the nine star line? They didn’t worship the constellations, yet could draw power from the stars themselves.
Thoughts collided violently in Long Chen’s mind.
Could it be that Xiao Yin’s god path involved secretly gathering worshipers from other worlds?
Before he could sort through the chaos in his thoughts, the world itself started to tremble.
The sky darkened, and stars started to shine in the sky, as though the eye of the Heavenly Daos had opened and was gazing down upon them.
