With that, Dongfang Tianyu headed towards the depths of the ancestral mausoleum where the Blue Dragon Halberd was.
When he saw that Long Chen was still hunting, he knew that Long Chen had yet to complete his task. He was a little worried before, but in the end, he still managed to complete a hundred before Long Chen.
"Long Chen, quick!"
Yin Mengyao was a little anxious when she saw that Dongfang Tianyu had already left. She had only collected a little over thirty Golden Hearts so far, and she knew that she had no hope left. She had placed all her hopes on Long Chen.
Long Chen's expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard Yin Mengyao's voice. He continued to collect the Golden Puppets like a machine until Dongfang Tianyu's figure gradually shrank.
… …
In the depths of the ancestral mausoleum, there was another spacious space. It was a cave, and under the illumination of the torches, the cave was completely lit up, and the shadows of people were elongated.
These people were the people in charge of the Dongfang Family, the Blue Dragon Ancestor and a few Elders. Dongfang Xuanxiao was also here, waiting for the first person to complete a hundred Golden Hearts.
At this moment, Dongfang Xuanyu came to the Blue Dragon Ancestor's side and said in a somewhat restrained manner, "Father, it's almost time, right?"
"En." The Blue Dragon Ancestor nodded.
Dongfang Xuanyu laughed in her heart. This meant that if Dongfang Tianyu really wanted to kill Long Chen, Long Chen would probably be dead by now.
This brat had repeatedly looked down on her and even contradicted her, which made her very unhappy.
"That's good too. Now that the thorn in Yu 'er's heart has been removed, he can cultivate in peace."
Although Dongfang Tianyu wasn't her biological son, Dongfang Xuanyu doted on him a lot.
"Don't worry, mother. That brat Long Chen isn't Little Yu's match."
Dongfang Tianxing crossed his arms and laughed. However, when he saw the look in Dongfang Xuanxiao's eyes, he could only laugh dryly and lower his head.
"Someone has appeared." Patriarch Blue Dragon was the first to sense the presence of someone with his immense strength.
At this moment, everyone tensed up. They followed the gaze of the Patriarch of the Blue Dragon and looked into a pitch-black tunnel in front of them. Sure enough, they heard a series of hurried footsteps.
"It's Xiao Yu!"
When Dongfang Xuanyu and the others saw the appearance of the newcomer, their faces were filled with joy. Their tightened heartstrings were finally relieved.
To them, Long Chen clearly wasn't Dongfang Tianyu's match. But when they thought of Long Chen, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, Long Chen had already created quite a few miracles among the outsiders.
Dongfang Xuanxiao was stunned when he saw that it was Dongfang Tianyu. He couldn't believe it. Amongst everyone here, he was the one who understood Long Chen the best. Lowering his head, he muttered, "Could it be that I fell for Tianyu's trick and was delayed?"
"Xiao Yu, you're not bad, are you? Did you get rid of someone?"
Dongfang Tianxing, who was beside Dongfang Xuanxiao, laughed arrogantly, ignoring the presence of the elders. His mother and Dongfang Xuanxiao didn't get along, so he didn't give Dongfang Xuanxiao any face.
However, Dongfang Tianyu didn't answer him. Instead, he dashed towards the direction of the Blue Dragon Halberd.
"What?"
Everyone was stunned. It was obvious that Dongfang Tianyu had won, but he didn't seem happy. Instead, he seemed to be in a hurry. Could it be …
"There's someone else."
They turned their gazes towards the passageway, and as expected, a series of footsteps could be heard. Then, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, a red silhouette sped towards Dongfang Tianyu. In just a few breaths of time, it had already reached Dongfang Tianyu's side, and was now running side by side with him.
"It's actually that Long Chen! His speed is so fast! He's actually catching up to Tianyu!"
Dongfang Xuanyu and Dongfang Tianxing were both taken aback. Great waves surged in their hearts. Since when did Long Chen possess such speed?
The arrival of Long Chen instantly made everyone who had just heaved a sigh of relief tensed up again. They hadn't even come across the Blue Dragon Halberd yet, so the outcome of the battle was still uncertain.
In other words, Long Chen might also be able to obtain the Blue Dragon Halberd.
After Dongfang Tianyu collected a hundred Gilded Hearts, Long Chen spent a few breaths' time before he finally completed his task. Then, he dashed towards Dongfang Tianyu. Because the tunnel wasn't short, and Long Chen's speed was slightly faster than Dongfang Tianyu's, he managed to reach Dongfang Tianyu at the last moment.
Dongfang Tianyu's anxious expression was also because Long Chen had already caught up.
Looking at Long Chen's figure, Dongfang Xuanxiao's eyes finally revealed a hint of relief. He knew that it was time to watch a good show.
"What's there to be proud of? So what if he managed to catch up? In front of Little Yu's Advanced Earth Core strength, he's just a clown. Looks like Little Yu was being a little too modest just now." Dongfang Xuanyu rolled her eyes at Dongfang Xuanxiao and said in a strange tone.
"That's right! Besides, there's still Little Yu and the High Profound Rank Blazing Sun Halberd. Even if Long Chen cultivated for another ten years, he still wouldn't be his match." Dongfang Tianxing agreed with his mother and laughed.
Although they were mocking Dongfang Xuanxiao, he still had a calm expression on his face. He just stared at Long Chen without saying a word.
The Blue Dragon's Ancestor saw their tit for tat. All of this was because of this young man, Long Chen. The Blue Dragon's Ancestor looked at Long Chen, then looked at Dongfang Xuanxiao. From an angle that no one could see, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Xuanxiao, it's been eighteen years. Do you really think your little thoughts can escape my eyes?"
The Blue Dragon's Ancestor secretly said in his heart. No one could hear this sentence, and even if they did, no one would know what it meant.
At this moment, Long Chen, who was running side by side with Dongfang Tianyu, had become the focus of everyone's attention. And the focus of Long Chen's eyes was the thing in front of him that made his heart throb.
This was a strange feeling that made his blood boil. It was as if he was a wanderer who had left home for many years. When he saw the thing in front of him, Long Chen actually had the urge to cry.
He knew that this thing was definitely his, and no one else could take it away from him.
There was a flight of stairs at the back of the cave, and on top of the stairs was a black altar. In the middle of the altar, there was an ancient seven-colored cauldron that seemed to be made of crystal. This cauldron had three legs and two handles, and it was extremely beautiful. However, this wasn't the most important thing. In this place, this ancient cauldron was only a container. What really attracted Long Chen's attention was the thing in the cauldron.
It was a halberd that was about two meters long. The halberd was light green in color, and the handle was made of an unknown metal. Traces of dark green light flowed on the handle, and if one took a closer look, they would discover that the handle was covered in green dragon scales. They were orderly and tightly packed, and they were extremely similar to the dragon scales on Long Chen's body.
At the top of the handle was a lifelike dragon head, and in the mouth of the dragon, there was a sharp blade. It had three points and two edges, and it was extremely sharp, just like the teeth of a dragon. Anyone who saw it would feel a chill running down their spine.
"Such a powerful aura, it doesn't belong to the Divine Core realm at all. This thing must be the Blue Dragon Halberd." Long Chen thought excitedly.
The halberd in front of him was many times better than the one in his Cosmos Sack. Most importantly, this halberd exuded a desolate majesty that made a commoner like Long Chen feel the urge to kneel down in front of it.
Long Chen could clearly sense this aura. He had also sensed it when he absorbed the blood essence; it was a dragon.
"This Blue Dragon Halberd, could it be related to the Ancient Divine Dragon?"
Long Chen was shocked. He knew that the Lingwu family's wealth was all because of the Sky Martial realm, or to be more precise, the Star Devil Prison. Lingxi said that the Sky Martial realm was a historical site, so something like the Blue Dragon Halberd must have come from the Sky Martial realm.
"Chen, I can feel that there is a weak Ancient Dragon Soul in this Blue Dragon Halberd. If you can get this Blue Dragon Halberd, it will bring you great benefits. You have to do your best!"
Lingxi was pleasantly surprised when she saw the Blue Dragon Halberd. It was a tense moment right now, so she didn't dare say too much, as she didn't want to distract Long Chen.
"Ancient Dragon Soul …" Although he had no idea what it was, it made Long Chen's determination to get the Blue Dragon Halberd even stronger.
The two of them ran neck and neck towards the Blue Dragon Halberd. This scene was very attractive. Who would get the Blue Dragon Halberd in the end?
"Long Chen, stop running. Let's have our final battle." Dongfang Tianyu was filled with anger. At this moment, he directly punched towards Long Chen.
This kind of race was completely meaningless, so he chose to fight with Long Chen.
"Fine, you said it. If you try to snatch the Blue Dragon Halberd during the battle, you, Dongfang Tianyu, are my grandson!"
Said Long Chen coldly as he dodged Dongfang Tianyu's punch. If Dongfang Tianyu wanted to have a final battle, he was more than happy to accompany him. If the two of them fought for the Blue Dragon Halberd, with the might of the Blue Dragon Halberd, Long Chen didn't know what would happen to Long Chen.
However, Long Chen's words were indeed a little overboard. Dongfang Tianyu's grandfather was the Blue Dragon Ancestor. Wasn't Long Chen taking advantage of the Blue Dragon Ancestor's wife? Although it was a bet, it still made the Blue Dragon Ancestor's face darken. The few Xuan Elders' faces also darkened as they shook their heads.
To them, Dongfang Xuanxiao's adopted son was simply too unbearable.
Long Chen's speed was faster than his, so Dongfang Tianyu was worried that Long Chen would snatch the halberd first. But now, Long Chen was actually willing to stop and fight with him.
"You're just faster than me, but you're still dreaming of defeating me in front of your elders. Long Chen, die!" In front of the Blue Dragon Halberd, both of them were preparing for their final battle.
"Don't worry, after being tempered by the fifty times gravity of the Star Devil Prison, I'll give you a pleasant surprise, Dongfang Tianyu." Long Chen didn't show any signs of fear. His eyes were filled with a cold light.
"Enough with the nonsense, die!" After saying that, Dongfang Tianyu unleashed his True Energy from the Earth Core realm and charged towards Long Chen.
"Today, I'll let you see the difference between the geniuses of the inner and outer races."
