It was a peaceful time traveling through the Time Tunnel, but the storm was still brewing ahead. Long Chen couldn't relax.
Leaving this place meant that the world below no longer existed, and Long Qinglan no longer existed. However, every time he felt the blood essence of the Void Dragon suppressed by the mysterious dragon jade, Long Chen felt a sense of peace and glory. It was as if his father was always by his side.
He was an Ancestral Dragon Warrior who had absorbed the blood essence of the Void Dragon. Just like Long Chen, he was even more monstrous than Long Chen. He was the supreme Eternal Dragon Emperor. However, he still died. After his death, the blood essence of the Void Dragon would be left behind. Therefore, Long Chen understood that he would also die. And if he died, someone else would obtain his blood essence and replace him.
"Chen, are we really going out?" Lingxi was still hesitant.
To her, the time back at the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace would be especially tough. Moreover, she didn't want Long Chen to take too many risks.
"Yes." Long Chen nodded softly. His voice was filled with determination and unwavering strength.
"Let's go up."
Long Chen lifted his head and saw the light at the top of the tunnel. The distance between him and the light was getting shorter and shorter. Long Chen hugged the woman in his arms tightly, as if he was protecting his life. After that, he rushed out.
After coming out, Long Chen's expression changed.
"Long Xing."
He truly didn't expect that something would happen to Long Xing in the Kingdom of Primal Chaos. At this moment, a purple-colored divine dragon was coiled up on the island. Many parts of his body were covered by gray energy. Those gray energy were like maggots, devouring his flesh and blood, emitting sizzling sounds. Many parts of Long Xing's flesh and blood were being devoured by the gray energy. There were even some places where his bones were exposed. Long Xing squinted his eyes, he seemed to be in extreme pain.
Hearing Long Chen's cry, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Quick … cut off the parts of the gray aura."
If he did not cut it off, the gray gas would continue to spread and eventually corrode Long Xing completely. Long Chen no longer had the time to ask what had happened, he had already guessed it. Previously, he had killed Wang Chao here, and this gray gas was clearly the power of the Ten Great Ghost Kings. After Long Chen went down, the Ten Great Ghost Kings must have come and heavily injured Long Xing.
Fortunately, he returned in time.
Without saying a word, Long Chen took out the Scarlet Blood Sky Desolation and rushed towards Dragon Star.
"Endure the pain." Long Chen's eyes were cold as he roared.
"I'm fine."
Long Xing gritted his teeth as he replied. With so much gray energy corroding his body at the same time, he didn't have the strength to deal with it.
Long Chen endured the anger in his heart as he chopped off the pieces of flesh that were tainted by the gray gas, allowing those things to leave Long Xing. At this moment, Long Xing was extremely weak. Without saying a word, Long Chen directly went to the Great Void Realm and found a few immortal essences that were specialized in healing and regenerating flesh and bones for Long Xing to refine. At this moment, Long Xing had also transformed into his human form. Previously, he didn't dare to transform into his human form because there was too much gray gas. If he transformed into his human form, he would most likely be engulfed by it. Therefore, he endured until Long Chen returned.
After receiving the immortal essences from Long Chen, Long Xing immediately began to recuperate. At this moment, Lingxi walked over and said, "I know of some acupoint techniques that can help him refine faster and recover his body's energy."
After speaking, she stretched out her small hands and poked Long Xing's body a few times. In an instant, a white light enveloped Long Xing as the immortal essences within his body began to be refined. The medicinal energy was released and began to speed up the recovery of Long Xing's body. Long Xing now had the body of a divine dragon and was different from ordinary people. For ordinary people, as long as they had the Supreme Golden Body, their broken body could be healed at any time. However, the body of a divine dragon was very troublesome. The higher the physique, the more effective the Supreme Golden Body's recovery.
After Long Xing's situation stabilized, Long Chen finally started to observe his surroundings.
"The human head sculpture is gone. It should have been taken away." Long Chen frowned.
As expected, the goal of the Ten Great Ghost Kings, or rather the City Lord of the Wronged City, was that human head sculpture. What exactly was that human head sculpture that the Ten Great Ghost Kings would come here to fight over?
In Long Qinglan's words, the City Lord of the Wronged City was just a junior who had been exiled from the Eternal Celestial Realm. However, in Long Chen's eyes, he was still a mysterious giant. If not for Long Qinglan's help in erasing the mark left by the City Lord of the Wronged City on the True Martial Emperor Soul and the God Slaying Sword, Long Chen would probably have been controlled by the City Lord of the Wronged City. Just the True Martial Emperor Soul alone would have been enough to make Long Chen obey his orders.
If not for Long Qinglan, it would have been extremely thrilling.
After half a day of discussion with Ling Xi, Long Xing finally regained consciousness. His injuries had been temporarily suppressed, but he would need at least a month to recover his combat strength. Long Xing's injuries this time could be considered very serious. If Long Xing hadn't appeared, and he was left to fend for himself, it was very likely that he would have died here.
"What happened?" asked Long Chen hurriedly as he helped him up.
Long Xing smiled bitterly. "Among the Ten Great Ghost Kings, King Yama and King Qinguang appeared at the same time. One defeated me, and the other took away the human head sculpture. What is that human head sculpture?"
"I don't know." Long Chen shook his head.
"We can only go back and ask the old man," said Long Xing helplessly.
Long Xing said helplessly. He had to go back, so he asked Long Chen, "What about you? Have you settled your matters? What do you plan to do next? Do you want to stay in the Primal Chaos Divine Kingdom, or do you want to go back? If you want to stay in the Primal Chaos Divine Kingdom, I know a few safe places where natural disasters rarely happen. It's enough for you to cultivate until you're strong enough to win over a beauty."
"Really?" Lingxi was very excited. This was what she hoped for the most.
To be honest, Long Chen did hesitate, but he gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have to go out."
"Why?"
Long Xing was puzzled. He continued to ask, "It's rare for that old man to be willing to protect you. If you go out and the people from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace come, your little life will be in danger."
Long Chen shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of my little life. I don't want to be a coward."
He looked at Ling Xi with some heartache and said, "Little Xi, you also don't want me to become a useless man. There are some things that I have to face, and I can't run away with you. I've said it before, what I want to give you is not to sneak around, but to do it openly. I want to take you away in front of millions and millions of people. Even though I'm still very weak right now, even though I seem to be overestimating myself, I've already endured for nine years, I won't give up."
Lingxi's eyes were already wet with tears. She hugged Long Chen and didn't say anything. Instead, she was sobbing.
Long Chen laughed heartily and said, "Don't cry. Let's go. Wait for me."
After saying that, he exchanged glances with Long Xing.
"Brother, you're awesome. You're a real man. I admire you."
Long Xing also laughed heartily. The two of them followed the original route and began to head back.
On the way back, because they didn't need to study the map, it was much faster than when they came. After a period of time, they finally returned to the entrance. At this time, Long Xing's injuries had mostly recovered. After resting at the entrance for a while, the three of them decided to head back.
From the sky, they could return to the forest outside the Chaotic Star City.
On the way back, Long Chen looked at the Chaotic Divine Kingdom from the sky. He couldn't see the end of it. Just how vast was this Chaotic Divine Kingdom? If he had time, he could come back and adventure. That would be great. But Long Chen knew that such a leisurely life wasn't suitable for him. Besides giving Lingxi an explanation, he had a more important mission waiting for him. That was the Eternal Dragon City in the Eternal Divine Domain. That was his true hometown. It was also a place where he needed to correct many things. The most important of which was the misunderstanding of Long Chen.
That was the heaviest pain in his heart.
Closing his eyes, he moved forward courageously. Finally, they returned to the towering forest. As soon as they came out, a Nirvana Tribulation Realm expert hurried over to report.
"What's the matter?" Long Xing had a bad premonition.
That martial artist said, "Replying to young leader, the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace's four Sword Sovereigns have arrived at the Chaotic Star City and started fighting. In the end, the leader took action and suppressed them. Perhaps they have reached some kind of agreement, the four Sword Sovereigns are staying in the Chaotic Star City and haven't left. The leader secretly told me to let the two of you stay in the city and leave after a year or two. But if you appear before the four Sword Sovereigns, then there's nothing I can do."
Long Xing could only let Long Chen decide this himself.
Long Chen had already decided. This was about the same as he had estimated. Feeling the girl next to him grab his arm nervously, Long Chen patted her hand and smiled, "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it just meeting the parents? Let's go, I can't wait to meet the old man. After all, Little Xi is destined to be my woman, isn't it? What's there to be nervous about meeting the father-in-law?"
His casual words made Lingxi giggle.
"Let's go." Long Chen's eyes were calm. He held Lingxi's hand and walked towards the Chaotic Star City.
He thought that he didn't need to prove anything. It didn't matter if Lingxi was the Sword Spirit Emperor or just an ordinary person. Identity was never the most important thing. Stopping them wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was love.
