Of course, he still had to rely on Li Xuanji's yin demon power. Otherwise, he would still be a little lacking.
After all, when a martial artist stepped into the body of a Demigod and condensed the divine power of all living beings, they could no longer be judged like those below the Seven Star Reincarnation Tribulation Realm.
Long Chen had made such great progress this time and was able to directly defeat City Lord Di Jun, mostly because the Four Symbols Celestial Emperor had absorbed a large amount of the power of the four extremes in the Land of Four Extremes.
And now, Long Chen was immersed in a quiet atmosphere of cultivation, advancing towards the late-stage of the Four Symbols Reincarnation Tribulation Realm. This was just a process of accumulating power, which wasn't difficult for him. What was difficult was how to experience the Five Elements Tribulation, Six Paths Tribulation, and so on in the future.
In fact, with his current Level 3 Ancestral Dragon body, it was rare in the world. It had never appeared in the Dragon Sacrificial Continent since ancient times.
In terms of potential, even the most talented people were countless miles away from him.
Therefore, when others spent decades, centuries, millennia, or even tens of thousands of years to reach a realm, Long Chen could easily achieve it in just a month. In terms of cultivation, he had now reached the pinnacle of the Dragon Sacrificial Continent's history, a miracle.
If he cultivated in peace, a month's time, coupled with the abundant resources provided by Eternal Dragon City, would allow him to advance from the early-stage to the late-stage of the Four Symbols Reincarnation Tribulation Realm. His strength would increase again and truly reach a stronger level.
After a month's time, Long Chen now didn't need Li Xuanji to reach the point where he could kill City Lord Di Jun.
If he had the help of Li Xuanji's yin demon power, then he would definitely go a step further. He might even be able to fight against top dragon martial artists like the Blue Fire Emperor and Xue Chi. Of course, Long Chen still didn't have much confidence in defeating the other party.
However, he finally reached the late-stage of the Four Symbols Reincarnation Tribulation Realm, and it only took him a month. He was already very satisfied. Now, he was climbing towards the peak of the entire Dragon Sacrificial Continent step by step. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he reached the level of the Dragon Emperor and Long Qinglan.
Back then, Emperor Tianmu thought that it would take Long Chen ten years to catch up to him.
Who would have thought that only a few months had passed.
The increase in strength was mainly due to the power of the Four Symbols Samsara. Back then, the Four Symbols Celestial Emperors had absorbed so much power, but they still hadn't released it completely the first time. After about a month, Long Chen had completely accepted this power. Now, the surging power of the Four Symbols Samsara had more than doubled.
Only after completing this part of the mission did he stop his closed-door cultivation.
During this period of time, Li Xuanji had always been by his side to accompany him. She was also working hard. She was already very heaven-defying now, but she could not compare to Long Chen.
During this one month, Long Chen had also frequently contacted Lingxi. Now that she had entered the final stage, Long Chen had originally decided to go back and look for her. However, she did not agree to it, and asked Long Chen to wait for her to finish before looking for her. After all, she knew that Long Chen had many complicated matters to attend to in the Dragon God Domain.
Of course, Long Chen had told her about Li Xuanji's matter.
Lingxi was afraid that he would be lonely. To her, this was even better news. Now was a critical moment of danger. Love and affection were a small matter, but what was truly important was to destroy the shadow in the sky.
After a month, there was still no news of the five Dragon Emperors who had gone to the Deity Ocean. Long Chen had asked Dragon Emperor Yongye. According to her, the five Dragon Emperors were still searching for the Battlefield of the Gods and were preparing to find a way to enter the depths of the Deity Ocean to find the answer.
It seemed that they had truly made up their minds and were putting their plans into action. Long Chen was relieved. They were the strongest experts in the entire Dragon God Domain. If there was something that they could not do, it would be even more impossible for Long Chen to do it.
During this period of time, Long Chen continued to revise the Space-Time Reversal, the Flame of Life, the Death Claw, and other mystiques. Among them, the Death Claw was the power of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon's wrath. It was also the only way to attack and had the strongest killing power among them. It was also the most ferocious mystique that Long Chen had mastered so far.
During this quiet cultivation, one day, turmoil still began. Long Chen knew that many people were afraid of his talent and wanted to put him to death. Therefore, trouble would naturally never end.
This time, someone came directly to him.
On this day, as Long Chen was quietly pondering, the Blue Fire Emperor suddenly appeared in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I've troubled you. Go out for a while."
"Okay."
Long Chen was indeed very surprised. Currently, his troubles mainly came from the Black Hell Emperor and the Immortal Generals. Why would trouble come directly to him and let the Blue Fire Emperor inform him in such a tone?
"Who is it?"
He stood up and followed the Blue Fire Emperor out of the Eternal Dragon City with Li Xuanji. The people that the Blue Fire Emperor mentioned should be outside the Eternal Dragon City's city gate.
"You'll know when you see them."
The Blue Fire Emperor could not be bothered to say much to him. Previously, he had advised Long Chen, but Long Chen did not take it to heart at all. He was already jealous of Long Chen and disliked Long Chen's stubborn character even more. Therefore, since they had different goals, they could not work together.
Long Chen did not want to say much. Soon, the three of them arrived outside the city gate. The Eternal Army of the Eternal Dragon City was stationed at the city gate. Countless mystical dragons were flying, roaring, and patrolling in the Sea of Time. As there had been many things recently, the Eternal Dragon City's patrols were stricter.
Even the Blue Fire Emperor and the others were stationed here.
The so-called trouble was a few hundred people. They gathered outside the Eternal Dragon City and did not enter. However, their eyes were filled with resentment, hatred, and restlessness. Clearly, they were up to no good.
"It's the Castellans of the 72 Divine Cities."
These people were actually the City Lords of the seventy-two divine cities, as well as the important figures of these divine cities. There were a few hundred of them, basically representing the entire ancient city of the seventy-two divine descendants. When Long Chen appeared, they angrily rushed over. At first, they didn't say anything, but when they looked at Long Chen, their eyes were filled with hatred and anger. It was as if they couldn't wait to kill Long Chen or punish him.
Among the few hundred people, only a dozen or so people were exceptions. For example, the Dark Divine City's Castellan was mixed in with a helpless expression.
Long Chen was very calm. His gaze swept across the various Castellans and asked, "Castellans, seniors, why have you come to Eternal Dragon City to look for me?"
They looked at each other. The focus was on the few Castellans in the central region. They were the Primordial Beginning City Lord, the Clear Void City Lord, the Taiyi City Lord, and so on. There were about seven or eight of them, and they were all elders.
Their faces were all livid, and they looked at Long Chen with incorrigible eyes.
Behind Long Chen, a large number of Eternal Dragon City's higher-ups, such as the Blue Fire Emperor, the Mandate Emperor, and so on, came out. Even the Eternal Night Dragon Emperor knew about what had happened here.
"What's the matter? Long Chen, could it be that you don't know what atrocities you've committed?" Amongst them, the Emotional City Governor who was thin like a vigorous ancient tree berated with a hoarse voice.
Long Chen was startled. City Lord Di Jun was killed in the Battlefield of the Gods. Now, only the 15 Dragon Emperors and a few higher-ups of Eternal Dragon City knew about it. They should not know about it. Even if they knew, they could not save him.
He did not say much and continued to look at them.
It is you who killed our Di Jun Divine City's City Lord Di Yao. This matter is absolutely true. Now, the entire world knows about it. The entire Human Race knows about your evil deeds. I, City Lord Di Jun, was the leader of our 72 Divine Cities. He had a high status, but you actually killed him. You are insane and incorrigible. Everyone has the right to punish you. "
One of the Di Jun Divine City's Seven-star Reincarnation Tribulation Realm martial artist had tears in his eyes as he roared passionately. His words caused a huge resonance. For a moment, hundreds of them could not help but shout loudly, full of resentment. To be honest, this team was not strong. However, the five major Dragon Cities were secluded and did not manage the affairs of the Dragon God Domain. Now, maintaining the order of the Dragon God Domain still depended on the 72 Ancient Cities of God. Therefore, their status was still relatively important and they could not be killed casually.
City Lord Di Jun, in particular, was a kind of 'secular leader'.
They were in full swing, wishing that they could hack Long Chen into a thousand pieces. This was something that Long Chen could understand. The problem was, how did they know and how did they confirm it? He had just gained a good reputation and was preparing to clear Long Qinglan's name. Of course, this kind of thing had happened at this critical juncture. Of course, it was troublesome.
"Still not admitting your mistake? Do you want us to produce evidence?"
They clamored once again.
The people of Eternal Dragon City also looked at each other. In reality, not many people knew about this matter. They only knew that Long Chen had defeated City Lord Di Jun. Of course, they also admitted that City Lord Di Jun had a certain role.
"You think that no one knows what you have done, but you don't know that our City Lord serves God Di Jun. There is also a statue of our City Lord in the Di Jun Divine Palace. Now that statue has been shattered, replaced by your name, Long Chen. Dozens of us saw this at the scene. The evidence is conclusive. It must have been God Di Jun who saw through your murder and sent down a divine decree for us to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens."
Finally, someone couldn't help but say it.
Long Chen didn't expect it to be so unimaginable.
It could have been fabricated, or it could have been done by people like the Black Hell Emperor. It could even be the real decree of Di Jun. Although it was unimaginable, to the people of the 72 God Cities, this was a divine decree and it couldn't be fake. Therefore, they firmly believed that Long Chen was the murderer.
Coincidentally, Long Chen was the murderer.
Therefore, this matter had already spread across the world. The people of Di Jun Divine City gathered all the City Lords to head to Eternal Dragon City to seek justice for City Lord Di Jun.
"This is God Di Jun telling us that you are the murderer. Now that I, City Lord Di Jun, have been missing for over a month, the timing is just right. Now that everyone in the world knows the truth, you better stop arguing. Today, we will make you pay the price."
