Chapter 6798 Bringing Reinforcements
Once again, Long Chen fought the two Dark Divine Emissaries. This time, he sensed a faint, nearly undetectable energy spreading all over the battlefield, something he only noticed because he had already considered the possibility.
Now Long Chen understood. From the moment the throne appeared, this entire space had become her domain.
Within this domain, she had absolute control. She could gradually cut off all of Long Chen’s options as she fought both as participant and observer.
His focus on sensing this power left him distracted, and he was slain once again.
“Those two aren't clones—they’re her heaven-earth law manifestations! What a cunning woman! She has deceived me for so long.”
This discovery excited Long Chen, but he was in no rush to expose her. Instead, he charged in once more.
Now that he had seen through her trick, he gradually adapted to the battle. Even within her domain, he could last thousands of exchanges before being defeated.
During this battle, Long Chen uncovered several secrets. Within the domain, the Dark Divine Emissary could employ a profound and subtle force to interfere with him in combat.
This disturbance was imperceptible at first, but as it accumulated, it gradually created a significant opening in his movements.
She seemed to be patiently waiting for such an opening, lying in ambush the entire time.
He also saw some secrets within her two heaven-earth law manifestations. Though their energy fluctuations appeared the same, he now noticed a mysterious energy deep inside, which was mutually supporting and suppressing each other.
It was like Yin and Yang. No matter what Long Chen did, he couldn’t suppress her.
Finally, he got tired and returned to the training room Bai Yujing had prepared for him. It just so happened that Bai Yujing had come to see him.
“Long Chen, the Elders asked me to see if they could...” Bai Yujing hesitated, embarrassed by the request.
Watching the disciples grow stronger, the Elders didn’t want to fall behind. They all wished to enter the Seven Treasure Space as well.
Long Chen laughed. “Anyone can enter the Seven Treasure Space. It will help the new acquired Divine Sovereigns. But it's best if they wait another day. Once the first level is completely suppressed, it will be easier for them.”
Long Chen had planned to bring it up tomorrow, but these old fellows couldn’t sit still any longer.
However, it was understandable—the White Tiger race was infamous for their battle fanaticism.
The dragon race, especially the white dragons, had the support of auspicious qi. However, the White Tiger race had no such support. They seemed to live solely for combat.
Perhaps this was the only reason the White Tiger race had survived through years of endless battle. Their fortitude was truly commendable.
When Bai Yujing learned that Long Chen had planned on letting them in, she silently cursed the old fellows for sending her here. Their impatience was almost embarrassing.
“Race Leader Yujing, you came at the right time. I was going to look for you. Can you show me your heaven-earth law manifestation?”
Bai Yujing did not refuse. Forming hand seals, the White Tiger divine rune appeared on her forehead, and a white tiger's image materialized behind her.
Though this White Tiger was only a few meters tall, its ferocious aura made Long Chen’s heart clench.
Long Chen’s earlier estimate proved correct. Bai Yujing was no weaker than Starry River Palace’s Li Canghao.
Since she could compress her manifestation to such a size, her control nearly reached a pinnacle, yet she still fell short of Long Can.
Long Chen had her put her manifestation away.
After that, he asked, “Race Leader Yujing, are there other ways to cultivate heaven-earth law manifestations?”
Bai Yujing was startled by the question, but she answered, “Our White Tiger race’s heaven-earth law manifestations came from the Tiger Venerate. It’s said that all heaven-earth law manifestations can be traced back to before the primal chaos era, when peerless experts received the blessing of the ten thousand Daos, merging laws and manifestations onto themselves. The fusion of body and laws, and laws with the Dao, created what is called the heaven-earth law manifestation.
“Legend says the earliest heaven-earth law manifestations were all blessed by the ten thousand Daos of heaven and earth, and ours have been passed down from our ancestors, generation after generation.
“Though the forms differ, their core is what the human race calls essence runes. They are passed down through bloodline, soul, or karmic luck. But all the essence runes of this world trace back to that era.
“It’s said that before the primal chaos war, the laws of the world could no longer bestow new essence runes. But after the war, the nine heavens suffered countless casualties. Many peerless experts died, and entire races were wiped out. Many heaven-earth law manifestations were lost forever.
“Supposedly, when a heaven-earth law manifestation is lost forever, its power is reclaimed by the world, enabling the birth of a new one. Yet, to this day, no new manifestation has appeared.”
Long Chen’s heart clenched at this explanation, an ominous feeling arising within him.
If what she said was true, and the destruction of entire races should have allowed new manifestations to appear, why had none emerged after all these years?
Meanwhile, Long Can and the Dark Divine Emissary’s manifestations were on a level entirely different from others’.
The Dark Divine Emissary, in particular, possessed two heaven-earth law manifestations in the form of her true body. Even Long Chen had been tricked—there had to be something sinister behind this.
The most suspicious culprits had to be Lord Brahma and the Dark Master.
Bai Yujing said, “Long Chen, if you can communicate with the Tiger Venerate, perhaps—?”
Shaking his head, Long Chen interjected, “If the Tiger Venerate could speak to me, he would have done so. Since he hasn’t, he either can’t or has nothing to say. Also, don’t try to communicate with him lightly. It’s dangerous.”
Long Chen knew that Bai Yujing was not rash, but he still warned her.
Long Chen had only exchanged a few hurried words with the Tiger Venerate that one time. He suspected the danger the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign spoke of didn’t just involve the Tiger Venerate’s life—there were likely many other hidden risks.
“As you command!” Bai Yujing nodded without hesitation.
After a moment’s thought, Long Chen said, “Race Leader Yujing, come with me into the Seven Treasure Space. I need your help with a troublesome opponent!"
