The only explanation was that he was too strong.
Recently, Long Chen's strength had been soaring. A year ago, when he first met Gong Qing and Xing Yue, he was far from their match. They were the Divine Palace Thunder Dragon and the Three Thousand Star Soul Dragon. They were both Super Mystical Dragons in the early stage of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Looking back now, Long Chen had defeated Di Sheng of the Di Jun Divine City. His strength was already comparable to Gong Qing and the rest.
This was simply a miracle.
Although it was a miracle, he knew that even though he was a top genius and was invincible in the world of geniuses, he still lacked the strength to fight against the real higher-ups.
This could not be rushed, he could only endure.
In any case, he was very unhappy with this Long Qingyue.
Long Qingyue was even more pissed off at him. Even though Long Chen didn't say anything, his eyes were still filled with a tough attitude. Long Qingyue scolded, "Did you hear what I said? From today onwards, you'd better behave yourself and stay here. Don't embarrass Eternal Dragon City, or I'll never forgive you."
She was bossy and unyielding. Her eyes were full of power and her words were sharp. Long Chen was disgusted.
"Alright, Yueyue, just scare him a little."
The Black Hell Emperor gently pulled on Long Qingyue's shoulder. His voice was like a hallucination. Long Chen noticed this guy and actually felt fear in his heart. Especially when the black mist in his eyes seemed to hide endless secrets. Long Chen, of course, knew that this was a guy much scarier than Long Qingyue.
Today, Long Qingyue had brought him great conflict and helplessness.
He was very angry, but now was not the time to challenge them. He shut his mouth and did not say anything else.
Long Qingyue was still angry. She gently pushed the Black Hell Emperor away and pressed towards Long Chen. She glared at Long Chen and said, "What, little thing, are you still not convinced?"
As she spoke, she twirled one of her hands and instantly, a huge force blasted towards Long Chen. That was Soul Connection power. The Soul Connection power condensed into a huge beast that roared and attacked. At this critical moment, Long Chen instantly resisted, but he was still sent flying. Although the nature of Taishi Divine Force was similar to Soul Connection power, Long Chen's strength was far inferior to the opponent's.
Boom.
He felt dizzy and his ears were ringing.
"The Seven Star Reincarnation is equivalent to the Holy Spirit's power. It's really strong, much stronger than the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
The further one progressed in the Samsara Tribulation realm, the more terrifying it became.
The slightest difference would result in a huge gap, forming an insurmountable chasm. This was especially true from the Seven Star Reincarnation Tribulation realm onwards. The gap widened, and it became more and more difficult to become stronger. At the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation realm, even the slightest difference was difficult to overcome.
Generally speaking, people in the Eight Trigrams Samsara Realm would use a delaying technique to resist the Samsara Tribulation. They could delay it for up to 10,000 years. People who stayed in the Eight Trigrams Samsara Realm for 1,000 years and 5,000 years had different levels of combat strength.
It was as if the Eight Trigrams had been expanded from the very beginning.
Of course, this was still very far away for Long Chen. With his current ability, he wouldn't need to delay it at all in the future. In fact, he could even rush to the next level before the time limit of a thousand years was up. This was what happened to Long Qinglan back then.
Long Qingyue's move made him feel the power of a Seven-star Reincarnation Tribulation Eminence.
Also hurt him.
This made him even angrier.
"Damn you."
Long Qingyue couldn't stand him at all. She still wanted to attack Long Chen. For some reason, when he saw Long Chen, he thought of the guy who wasn't his biological brother, but who shone brightly and made all his siblings dim. He was too heaven-defying, causing Long Qingyue and the others to be looked down upon since they were young.
This was the reason why he was angry.
And today, Long Chen was too similar to him.
Long Qingyue still wanted to attack, but at this time, the Black Hell Emperor pulled her back and said, "Yueyue, stop fooling around. This is Massacre Dragon City."
At this time, Xue Chi also stood in front of Long Chen.
"Long Qingyue, Long Chen is now a member of Massacre Dragon City. No matter what your relationship is, you have no right to attack him here."
Xue Chi said rudely.
Of course, he knew that Long Qingyue was famous for her temper. She hadn't changed for tens of thousands of years. After marrying the Black Hell Emperor, she became even more spoiled and arrogant.
Seeing Long Chen's indifferent expression, she couldn't help but mock him. "Aren't you a genius? Aren't you very powerful? If you have the guts, fight with me. Do you know that there's always someone better? Coward, if you have the guts, come to Devouring Dragon City and challenge me. I'll definitely accept your challenge."
"Crazy."
Long Chen cursed in his heart.
There was nothing to argue about. Although he was very unhappy, he knew that when he dealt with her, he would definitely not be polite.
He wouldn't be polite. Given his personality, how could he let the other party humiliate him like that?
Long Chen would never be polite to an annoying woman.
"I won't see you out."
Originally, he had been filled with joy and had some expectations for this so-called relative, but now it seemed that he had been overthinking things. Long Chen's expression was cold as he said those two words, then he turned around and left without looking back.
Seeing him so arrogant, Long Qingyue was even more unhappy. But with the Black Hell Emperor and Xue Chi blocking her, she couldn't do anything but curse, "I'll wait for you to challenge me. Let's see if you have the guts."
The Black Hell Emperor said to Xue Chi helplessly, "Brother Xue Chi, I've offended you today. I'll come and apologize another day. Today, I'll take my wife back."
Xue Chi raised a hand and said, "You two, please."
He personally saw the Black Hell Emperor and Xue Chi off.
On the way, Long Qingyue calmed down from her anger and asked, "Brother Xue Chi, why do you think the three Dragon Emperors of Slaughter City brought Long Chen to Slaughter City? Why didn't they just kill him?"
Xue Chi said, "I don't know either. Maybe they're worried about Long Qinglan's rebirth. You know him best, so of course you know how terrifying he is."
He couldn't be bothered with this woman, so he just said a bunch of nonsense.
"Rebirth, he can still be reborn."
Long Qingyue shuddered.
If he really could reappear, then it would be terrifying. She had thought it was just a joke.
When they walked to the door, Xue Chi said again, "Madam Chen, you asked Long Chen to challenge you before. Maybe he really will. This guy's progress is too terrifying. I heard that he couldn't even beat a seventh-tier Nirvana three years ago. A few days ago, he defeated a Six Paths of Reincarnation expert. His speed is even faster than Long Qinglan's. Maybe in a year, he'll have the power to fight you."
"What?"
Long Qingyue's expression froze.
She actually didn't know much about Long Chen.
This also attracted the Black Hell Emperor's attention. He pondered and said, "Is he really that terrifying?"
Xue Chi laughed and said, "I'm just saying. The higher you go, the harder it is. If it were that easy, Chen Ting and I wouldn't have been stuck at this level for so long. We didn't dare to let the final Nine Halls Tribulation come."
Hearing this, Long Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "Let him be arrogant. With his arrogant personality, if he really dares to challenge me, I'll teach him a lesson."
Xue Chi didn't say much and saw the couple off.
After they left, he smiled strangely and said, "Interesting. Their own people are about to fight each other. My Slaughter Dragon City is going to take advantage of them."
… …
Back at the Red Dragon Palace.
Long Chen sat quietly in the training room.
Li Xuanji said with concern, "Don't worry. They're not the people you should care about. What you should care about is your father, Lingxi, Xiao Lang, Kitten, and your friends on Celestial Dragon."
Long Chen chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I've been through so much. This isn't something I can't get over. I'll make them understand."
Seeing that Long Chen didn't care much about Long Qingyue's suppression, Li Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have to talk to Little Xi," Long Chen said.
Li Xuanji was startled. She hurriedly said, "Don't tell her I'm by your side."
Long Chen asked in surprise, "Why?"
Embarrassed, Li Xuanji said, "I don't want her to think too much. After all, she's trying to fuse with the Star Nucleus alone. I don't want her to be distracted. I'll leave after the Dark City Master comes out. I won't take up too much of your time."
She still had a grudge. She didn't want to ruin the relationship between Long Chen and Lingxi.
Long Chen, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it. The reason why he asked her to follow him was for her safety.
He promised Li Xuanji. Then, he talked to the person who missed him on Celestial Dragon.
After so many days, Lingxi guessed that he must be busy with something, so she didn't disturb Long Chen. She knew that if there was trouble, Long Chen would tell Yang You through her.
Far away on Celestial Dragon, Lingxi floated above the Starlight Lake. Because she had fused with most of the Star Nucleus, her skin was glowing with a beautiful light.
"Chen, I've improved a lot recently."
Because of the fusion of the Star Nucleus and her powerful bloodline, her growth was rapid. Long Chen didn't have to worry about her passing the Reincarnation Trials. At least, under the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Lingxi would be fine.
They chatted for another half a day.
Li Xuanji focused on cultivating in the new world. She would occasionally open her eyes and look at everything in front of her. It was a rare warmth. She enjoyed it, even indulged in it. But she knew she had to control herself. She didn't belong here, so she couldn't indulge in it.
"Just think of it as the last time I'll be with him."
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Sometimes, life was helpless. But to be able to enjoy these beautiful moments was already very good.
Long Chen asked about Sky Blood Hell. There wasn't any problem.
Before entering Sky Blood Hell, a group of people came to find Long Chen.
