When Long Chen stood next to the grass, as expected, the nine-colored mist stopped ten meters away from the grass, not daring to approach. Long Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed he had reached a safe place.
His life was temporarily out of danger.
This could be counted as the heavens helping him.
He was sure that the nine-colored mist only dared to clamor outside, not daring to approach. He couldn't help but start to study the grass growing out of the cliff. It wasn't an immortal essence, it didn't even have a single immortal mark. It looked very ordinary, but it had a terrifying life force. With this life force, it could grow to a thousand meters tall, or even as tall as the progenitor tree of Planet Luan Shuxing. But it was just a blade of grass.
How could a blade of grass have such a huge life force?
The so-called life force was the power of all living things in the world, the power of the birth and growth of all living things. All living things possessed it, and the stronger the life force, the more terrifying it would be. For example, Long Chen's current life force had already reached an unprecedented level. This was also a part of his cultivation and potential.
More importantly, the Tai Chi Dragon was a dragon of life and creation. Although Long Chen's comprehension of the Dao of Life was very little, he had a tyrannical and terrifying innate advantage. In terms of control over life force, he could be considered an ancestor. At least, his bloodline was the ancestor.
"Life is truly a mysterious existence. This nine-colored mist looks beautiful, but it's actually composed of death energy. That's why it's so afraid of this incomparably vigorous life force. It's precisely in this Divine Palace of White Bones that this blade of grass has gathered the last of the life force of the entire Divine Palace of White Bones. That's why it has such a boundless life force."
In a trance, Long Chen had almost found a way to escape.
His body was like a massive treasure trove, it was just that he didn't have the time to excavate it. He spent most of his time focusing on the Dao of Slaughter and the Dao of Time, neglecting the cultivation of the Dao of Life. At most, he was able to control the strength of the fourteenth-temper. If he could fully utilize the power of the fourteenth-temper, the destructive power of the Time Storm could almost match up to the destructive power of the Time Storm. But with the Dao of Life controlling his Divine Kingdom, that vast and boundless world of life within his body should be able to develop even further.
"Now that I'm trapped here, it might even be a form of cultivation for me. This is a rare opportunity bestowed to me by the heavens. Right now, I seem to be a fish that has fallen into a fishing net. Looks like I can only fight to the death in order to have a chance to break out of this place. To me, this is a form of encouragement."
When he understood everything, his previously nervous heart completely calmed down.
Just as Li Xuanji said, he would not die.
He forgot about life and death. He forgot about the boundless nine-colored mist that was still fluttering about outside. He entered a mysterious world of life. He stretched out his hand and gently grasped the stalk of grass that had such boundless vitality. Of course, he wouldn't break it. If he did, it would lose all its vitality. That would be a great pity.
Perhaps this was the only remaining vitality in this Divine Palace of Bones.
When he grasped the stalk of grass, Long Chen seemed to have arrived in another world. He saw himself leaning against a towering tree that was ten thousand meters tall. That towering tree had a huge canopy, and a single tree could form a lush forest …
Surging vitality flowed around this towering tree, urging it to continue growing. It even had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years.
This was life.
In the new world within Long Chen's body, the perfect dragon-shaped continent continued to grow. As it grew, the 14 peaks represented the 14 elements. Everything was forming, and it was full of vitality. There were even new lives being born. They were extremely weak lives that were filled with a primitive aura. They were simple and fragile, but even so, the greatest power in this world was not any of the 14 peaks. Instead, it was the power of life.
Among the fifteen heads of the Tai Chi Dragon, the head of life was the most important.
If the Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon was the divine dragon that brought death, then the Tai Chi Dragon was the ancestral dragon that brought life. Long Chen immersed himself in his own world from the stalk of grass in his hand. Time passed quietly, and everything was born.
In the new world, Long Chen, in his own Dao of Life, found the first flame. It was a green flame that was born in the center of the new world. There was only a tiny bit, but it was the birth of this flame that seemed to give this new world a core, a life, and a soul.
Long Chen called this green flame … the flame of life.
The flame itself had to be that name.
Although the flame of life was small, it spread through the entire new world, encompassing everything. Even the tiny life that had just been born, and even the flowers and trees.
Although the flame wasn't large, it was beautiful, and it wouldn't be extinguished.
Long Chen could manifest this Flame of Life on his palm and on his body. This was the true beginning of his path on the Dao of Life. At the same time, this Flame of Life was also his greatest reliance.
Long Chen placed the flame of life on his palm.
Under the illumination of this flame, not only did Long Chen, but the stalk of grass also seemed to be filled with vitality.
"How comfortable …"
Li Xuanji couldn't help but moan. Her body was currently connected to Long Chen's, so everything she sensed was the same as Long Chen's.
Under the illumination of the flame of life, as long as Long Chen had a final wish, everything could be reborn and revitalized. This flame of life's healing was different from the Dream of Time Reversal. The Dream of Time Reversal consumed a lot of energy, but the flame of life bestowed life, recovery, and growth.
It also had endless uses that Long Chen hadn't fully unearthed yet.
For example, his flame of life was even more frightening to the nine-colored mist than the stalk of grass. In an instant, the nine-colored mist retreated several hundred meters away, trembling under the power of the flame of life.
When this flame of life was born, it meant that Long Chen could leave this place without a problem.
Below was still the abyss with countless nine-colored insects. This time, it had been very dangerous, and he had almost lost his life. He couldn't be bothered to stay in this damned place. This Divine Bone Palace was so huge. The answer Long Chen wanted shouldn't be in this place.
Perhaps after the nine-colored palace, there would be many more palaces like this, hiding true secrets.
This was just the beginning.
"Thank you."
Long Chen gently touched the green grass with his flame of life. The grass continued to grow, growing from less than half a meter to close to ten meters in a short time. It also had a stronger life force.
Today, it was Long Chen's savior.
Long Chen held the flame of life and flew into the sky. Now, all the nine-colored mist was retreating in panic. As Long Chen flew up, he saw the place where he had entered. He passed through the door that had been blasted open and came to the hall. The nine-colored mist behind him had long retreated into the abyss, not daring to look up at him.
"Nine Color Palace, hehe."
The Battlefield of the Gods should be this Divine Bone Palace. He believed in his father even more. If this Divine Bone Palace was the Battlefield of the Gods, then this place had to be destroyed.
But before it was destroyed, Long Chen still wanted to know its secrets.
He left the Nine Colors Palace, went around the Nine Colors Palace, and headed deeper into the White Bone Divine Palace. In front of him were endless skulls and warriors guarding on both sides of the road. In front of him was still a vast gray cloud, and the surroundings were still empty palaces. This time, Long Chen quickened his pace and continued forward. After about an hour, he saw the second tall palace in front of him.
It was even taller than the nine-colored palace.
On it, skulls were arranged into three words: God Statue Palace.
"God Statue Palace."
From these three words, Long Chen could sense that it had something to do with the ancient legion of gods.
The statues of the gods.
Because of what happened in the nine-colored palace, Long Chen was still afraid of this place. So, this time, he didn't dare to act rashly.
The God Statue Palace was also a palace made of white bones.
Among them, the five-hundred-meter-tall gate was also half-closed. One could easily enter through the gap. Standing outside the gate, Long Chen saw that it was pitch-black inside, as if there was nothing inside. However, this time, the pressure that the Statue Palace gave him was even greater, as if there was a real god inside.
To tell the truth, he did hesitate for a moment.
But for the truth, for the desire in his heart, he couldn't help but act.
He stepped forward and walked into the God Statue Palace.
It was different from the last time. The moment he stepped into the Statue Palace, the inside suddenly became golden and dazzling. Thousands of rays of light burst out. Everything in front of him instantly turned into mist. It was as if he was floating in the sky above the nine heavens.
Buzz buzz buzz.
Suddenly, numerous drum sounds spread out and caused a huge explosion. There were also many chanting like they were singing about something. Long Chen stood on the spot and looked at the rumbling white mist. At that moment, dozens of people appeared from the mist and floated above it. They looked down at Long Chen. Long Chen took a close look and noticed that there were 72 of them.
72.
This was the number of the 72 ancient cities of gods.
The 72 people in front of him obviously corresponded to the 72 ancient gods. They wore ancient clothing and their eyes were filled with disdain. It was as if they stood above the nine heavens and looked down on the world. They made people worship them. Even when Long Chen faced them, he felt an urge to bow down. That was the strong pressure they gave off from their bones.
Hong hong.
It was as if there were countless boulders pressing down on Long Chen's body, making it hard for him to breathe.
All seventy-two people seemed to have their eyes on him.
"This is …"
