In the blink of an eye, Long Chen was already in front of Yu Hongdao.
"You!"
Yu Hongdao still didn't understand how this kid in the third level of the Divine Martial Realm could catch up with him. Because of Long Chen's delay, the three targets he wanted to kill had disappeared in a short time. In this misty turbulence, as long as they were ten meters away from his line of sight, they would disappear in a short time.
Yu Hongdao had meticulously planned for such a long time, but Long Chen had unexpectedly ruined it. Naturally, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Long Chen.
From Yu Hongdao's ferocious expression, it could be seen that he would actually do such a thing. Long Chen didn't have the time to talk to him, so he directly attacked.
"Who are you? You're courting death!"
Seeing that Long Chen had attacked before him, Yu Hongdao no longer hesitated. He slashed his murderous blade at Long Chen. He had just reached the fourth level of the Divine Martial Realm, which was about the same level as Long Chen. Even his Divine Energy was far inferior to Long Chen's. Long Chen took out the Blood Scarlet Blade and slashed at him. The Blood Scarlet Blade instantly cut off his head and swept across his neck.
Divine Martial Realm experts had strong vitality. Even though he only had a head left, Yu Hongdao wasn't dead yet. At that moment, his head was flying in the air, and his mind was blank.
Finally, he saw the mysterious man below him. At that moment, the tip of the Blood Scarlet Blade was pointing at his head.
"Don't kill me!" Yu Hongdao finally reacted with his remaining head and shouted in horror.
Long Chen didn't move. He didn't want to waste time on this guy.
Yu Hongdao had already admitted that he had met an opponent he couldn't resist. At this moment of life and death, he said anxiously, "Look at my hand, what's in it? As long as you promise not to kill me, it's yours."
"In your hand."
Long Chen was puzzled for a moment. He glanced sideways and sure enough, there was a purple metal needle about ten centimeters long in the hand of the body.
While Long Chen was observing the purple metal needle, Yu Hongdao fled in a hurry. He was confident that as long as he was ten meters away from Long Chen, Long Chen would not be able to find him.
Although only his head was left, as long as he returned to his family, there was still a chance for him to live.
"You want to escape just like that?"
Long Chen possessed the Spirit-Devouring Demonic Eyes. This was something that Yu Hongdao could never have imagined. At that moment, the sword in Long Chen's hand flashed and a red sword beam shot out, directly destroying Yu Hongdao's head. The living lived and the dead died. This was fate. Yu Hongdao had plotted against his companion, only to be discovered by Long Chen.
"What is this?"
Long Chen took out the purple metal needle. It was slightly similar to Li Xuanji's Soul-shattering Needle, but it did not have the same effect.
He played around with the needle in his hand, but he could not see anything special about it. Suddenly, the needle moved by itself. Like a compass, it spun around in Long Chen's hand before stopping and pointing in a certain direction.
Long Chen changed his position, but the needle still pointed in the same direction.
"The Saints' Fruit shouldn't be completely ripe right now, so there's no need to rush to the very front. The needle is clearly pointing at something. I'd like to see where it's pointing."
After staying here for a long time, Long Chen had developed a strong resistance to the sound of the zither. He could basically ignore the sound of the zither. He sped up and headed towards the direction of the metal needle. After a dozen breaths, Long Chen saw more than a dozen Thunderbolt Divine Crystals on the ground. When he placed the Thunderbolt Divine Crystals into the Great Void Realm, the metal needle no longer pointed.
"I see. This needle can find Lightning Divine Crystals. However, I have the body of a dragon. As long as I absorb more Ancestral Dragon essence blood, my body will become more and more powerful. I've almost reached the level of an eighth grade Body Refining Battle Skill, so these Lightning Divine Crystals are useless to me."
Thinking of this, Long Chen was just about to put away the purple metal needle and rush forward as fast as he could. Suddenly, the purple metal needle began to move. It spun rapidly, trembled, and then pointed in a certain direction.
"What a great disturbance."
Long Chen threw it to the ground. After spinning a few times, the needle pointed in the same direction as before. It was very human-like as if it was very excited.
That direction was also the direction Long Chen was heading in.
"Since it's on the way, I'll go take a look. What's this? Thousands of Lightning Divine Crystals."
If that was the case, it would be a great fortune. Even if Long Chen had no use for it, he could still give it to someone else after returning to the True Martial Emperor Palace.
After putting away the metal needle, Long Chen was like a gust of wind as he traversed the misty and rugged mountain path. The gust of wind caused his clothes to flutter in the wind.
Wind and thick fog, these two contradictory things, actually combined perfectly at this time.
This was the Nine Secluded Demon Mountain. As he advanced, the zither music continued to ring in his ears. The metal needle in his hand trembled more and more violently. Very soon, Long Chen discovered that he had entered a narrow valley. The metal needle in his hand suddenly became scorching hot. When Long Chen stepped on a large boulder, the metal needle actually left his hand and nailed itself onto the boulder before exploding.
"What a huge reaction …" Long Chen also vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a very powerful lightning fluctuation under the boulder. Generally speaking, many people would directly pass through this area. This valley was strange and narrow. Basically, no one was willing to come here. Long Chen was lucky to be here.
Since he was already here, he wouldn't be polite. Although he had no use for the Lightning Divine Crystal, the thing inside might really give him a surprise.
Using brute force, Long Chen moved the boulder. It turned out to be a space isolated from the mist and wind. After Long Chen moved the boulder, a few lightning bolts actually erupted from the cave. Long Chen was almost hit by the purple lightning. This purple lightning was similar to the lightning shackles in the sky. If he was hit, it would take a while for Long Chen to recover even with his current body.
After flashing through the lightning, Long Chen immediately rushed into the cave. This was a hollow cave that looked like a sphere with a diameter of about 20 meters. The space wasn't big, but after Long Chen entered, he was immediately attracted by the thing in the middle.
It was a regular rhombus-shaped crystal that was purple and transparent. It should be a type of lightning divine crystal, but its color was slightly darker than normal lightning divine crystals. More importantly, this crystal was larger than two human heads.
In this cave, Long Chen couldn't describe the beauty of this purple crystal. The whole cave was filled with purple brilliance, like a dream. The purple crystal rotated gently in the middle of this cave. There seemed to be a total of nine purple lightning flashing inside, like a long snake.
This crystal should be a Lightning Divine Crystal, but it was at least ten times more solid than a Lightning Divine Crystal. More importantly, compared to a fingernail-sized Lightning Divine Crystal, it was simply too big.
"This is … a Lightning Heart. It's very difficult to produce. Ordinary Lightning Divine Crystals, if you fuse one thousand of them, it can almost be equivalent to an Eighth Grade Body Refining Divine Skill. But this Lightning Heart, if you fuse one, it can almost be equivalent to a Ninth Grade Body Refining Divine Skill." At this time, Li Xuanji seemed to be a little sober, she forced her eyes open and said.
"A Ninth Grade Body Refining Divine Skill."
Long Chen couldn't help but sigh. His luck was really too good. He just killed a random person and he had this opportunity. He had now absorbed 30% of the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, and the strength of his body was equivalent to a Seventh Grade Body Refining Divine Skill. He estimated that he would need to absorb half of the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood for the strength of his body to reach the level of a Ninth Grade Body Refining Divine Skill.
In the Three Regions and Nine Worlds, any kind of Ninth Grade Body Refining Divine Skill was a treasure.
At this moment, if the Lightning Heart was successfully fused, it could become a Ninth Grade Body Refining Divine Skill. It was definitely a great treasure, and also a great wealth.
However, Long Chen didn't plan to use it himself.
At this moment, the Lightning Heart in front of him was spinning like a dream.
"This thing is a gift for you."
Long Chen walked closer to the Lightning Heart and continued, "I don't need this thing. When I was about the Fifth Tier of the Divine Martial Realm, I could form a body of this strength. This Lightning Heart is useless to me."
It was a very beautiful crystal core. It was perfect for giving to others.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Li Xuanji's mouth. Although she was no longer beautiful, she was still very moving. She said, "I cultivate a Ninth Grade Body Refining Divine Skill, and I just happen to lack a Lightning Heart. If I succeed, it will definitely surpass the body formed by fusing with the Lightning Heart. However, it depends on whether I can survive or not. I'll accept your gift."
He didn't think it would be so coincidental.
This was just an unexpected fortune, but he didn't think it would be so suitable for Li Xuanji. No wonder she was already very weak, but she still woke up for this Lightning Heart.
To be able to give something to her, Long Chen was naturally very happy. Only things that he obtained were his. At this moment, without saying anything, Long Chen arrived in front of the Lightning Heart and extended his hand to touch it.
A bolt of lightning struck. It was extremely fast, but Long Chen was even faster. He had already expected that the Lightning Heart would not be easy to deal with, so he was already prepared. At this moment, Long Chen opened his left hand, and a golden lightning dragon rushed out from his hand. It wrapped around the Lightning Heart, and Long Chen opened the Taixu Realm and swallowed it.
