It was because he had swallowed Primeval Troll's will that he could reach his limit and attract the Seven Stars Tribulation. Now it was a Spiritual Master's will doppelgänger, which was much stronger than before. In fact, the biggest effect of swallowing such a doppelgänger was to promote the growth of the Primordial Spirit of the Void Universe Dragon and make the power of the Way of Time stronger. As for the progress in the realm, it was just a transformation caused by the mutual promotion.
After all, Long Chen was only a little bit away from the late stage of the Seven Stars Tribulation. He needed an opportunity to promote and break through it. If he practiced normally, it would be very difficult to find such an opportunity.
That was why he had chosen to challenge the House of Spirit.
For Lingxi, for the children, and for himself.
He had persevered for so long, and almost failed several times, just for this moment of victory. If he had not been so determined, he would have burst into tears.
It was finally over.
This was the final transformation of the Jade Dragon Seal, which led to the extremely strong Spiritual Master's will doppelgänger being swallowed by Long Chen. The Jade Dragon Seal did not move often, but every time it did, it brought great changes to Long Chen.
Now, the transformation of the realm had led to the explosive growth of the Primordial Reincarnation Power. Under the mutual stimulation, his strength was getting higher and higher. The power in his body was surging, and the feeling of being full brought a great transformation to Long Chen. He felt that because of this transformation, he had grown to a new peak. Previously, in terms of strength, his Primordial Reincarnation Power was not inferior to the Dragon Emperor's Divine Power of Living Beings in the late stage of the Nine Palace Tribulation. Now, it had far surpassed the Dragon Emperor and the Great Demon Lords, reaching the level of Ling Huang and Yang You.
There were trillions and trillions of primordial reincarnation force in his body, surging forward like a boundless ocean. There was no fixed color. Sometimes, it was scarlet red, bloody and murderous. Sometimes, it was illusory and traceless, containing the mysteries of time. Sometimes, it was more than ten colors, extremely gorgeous, containing powerful life force and natural power. Sometimes, it was black and yellow, heavy, ferocious, dignified, boundlessly vast.
With the support of this power, Long Chen's appearance also changed according to these four auras. Sometimes, he was bloodthirsty, sometimes mysterious, sometimes quick-witted, and sometimes dignified.
The feeling of reaching a new level filled Long Chen's heart with excitement.
Now, he was standing in front of the altar. The statue in front of him seemed to have lost its spirit, and became no different from the statue of Emperor Jun. At the same time, the threads on the Picture of All Lives seemed to have gone back, and didn't connect to the statue anymore. It was obviously because Long Chen had swallowed the Spirit Venerable's will clone, which led to such a thing.
"I succeeded."
It had only been a dozen days since he had passed through the Spirit Palace. For others, it was already too fast, especially in the Spirit Palace. Long Chen had even thought that his footsteps would stop there. He hadn't expected that he would pass through the Spirit Palace in the blink of an eye.
He became the next person to pass through the Spirit Palace after the Eternal Dragon Emperor in a million years. His name would be remembered by the people of the Eternal Sacred Realm for at least a million years, or even longer.
Of course, the premise was that the Dragon Sacrificial Continent and the Eternal Sacred Realm still existed at that time.
Glory was nothing to him. More importantly, he had completed a terrifying challenge that he had never faced before. Almost every level of tribulation here had pushed him to his limits, and made him lose all hope. But he persevered, and successfully obtained the huge transformation that he deserved.
One Sword to Kill a God, the Fourteen Lives Formation, the 949 Dao patterns of the God Slaying Sword, and the late stage of the Seven Stars Tribulation were all his great gains this time.
The courageous might lose everything, but if they succeeded, the rewards they would receive would be endless.
Most importantly, the two important people in his life were finally safe. Although one of them hadn't been born yet, and Long Chen didn't know what would happen between them, they were connected by blood. From the moment they were born, they were destined to be the people that Long Chen had to protect for the rest of his life.
Relying on courage, hard work, and perseverance, Long Chen finally protected them at this moment. This was the biggest goal of his trip. Ling Huang was a despicable person, and he had brought such a huge challenge to Long Chen before he entered the Devil Star. He had originally thought that he could get what he wanted, but he didn't expect that Long Chen would actually succeed.
When he saw Long Chen appear safely under the altar, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
Almost at that moment, he still remembered Long Chen's painful expression, that expression that made him feel carefree. Ling Huang remembered it very clearly. But after that moment, everything changed. The thing that he was most sure of actually happened in a moment, and it was simply unbelievable. Ling Huang had a very long life, but he had never seen such a magical thing.
The Spiritual Lord's will clone was defeated, and he didn't know where it went.
In the past, even if he was defeated, he would still return to the statue.
Such a change caught Ling Huang off guard. He stood there dumbfounded, staring at Long Chen with wide eyes, and his mind was blank. At this moment, he realized that during the process of Long Chen breaking into the Spiritual Lord Residence, all the words he said to him seemed so funny at this moment.
Long Chen didn't care how deep his surprise was in his heart. He was no longer the person he was a quarter of an hour ago. If the second bet was said to be for revenge, to make himself have no way out, to summon up his courage, and at the same time to give Ling Huang a psychological shock, then now, the second bet was his real challenge.
He already had the strength to challenge the world's number one expert.
Just like Long Qinglan back then, he broke into the Spiritual Lord Residence and defeated Ling Huang by kicking him out. Today, although it was for a different reason, Long Chen's wish was naturally to continue Long Qinglan's legend, to let Ling Huang suffer the same tragedy twice in his life.
This was his revenge, and also his anger. This was the price he had to pay for controlling Lingxi's body with the Lost Spiritual Formation. What Long Chen hated the most in his life was people threatening him. When he had the strength to fight back, he would become very scary.
His eyes found Ling Huang at once. There was no other way. After devouring the Spiritual Lord's will clone, his will was really strong, and his spiritual power was invincible in the world. Perhaps even the real Primeval Troll, a creature that was comparable to a god, could not do anything to him if it appeared in front of him.
So, he easily found Ling Huang's position.
"Ling Huang, you've been watching for so long. Are you still not coming out?"
Long Chen squinted and looked in his direction.
Ling Huang knew he had been found out. When Long Chen's eyes swept over him, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He understood that Long Chen seemed to be a little different from before.
He must have become stronger after the battle.
But as the world's supreme expert, and the number one expert in the world since he was young, Ling Huang naturally had his own pride. His shocked heart calmed down at this moment, and he acknowledged Long Chen's heaven-defying strength. He also acknowledged that he had lost the first bet, and now it was impossible for him to convince Long Chen to hand over the child to him.
No matter what, this opponent had successfully passed the Spiritual Lord Residence and created a legend.
Ling Huang appeared about ten meters in front of Long Chen. His silver hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were as white as paper. Now that he was already half a step into the Divine Spirit Realm, he looked at Long Chen coldly. The two experts' eyes met, and sparks flew.
"You want to kill me." The corner of Ling Huang's mouth curled up, and he smiled evilly.
Long Chen's killing intent could not be concealed no matter what.
"It's still early. Fulfill your promise first, and fix the lost formation."
Long Chen restrained his killing intent, and said word by word.
As the world's number one supreme expert, Ling Huang still had this bit of courage. No matter how unwilling he was, it was useless to threaten Lingxi's life at this moment.
Long Chen brought Lingxi out of the divine kingdom and waited for Ling Huang.
"What a charming beauty. If I had met you when I was young, I would have gone crazy for you."
Ling Huang smiled faintly. He moved his hand slightly, and a white light spot appeared from Lingxi's body and returned to his hand. He squeezed it lightly, and it turned into powder.
Long Chen checked Lingxi's body. At this time, Lingxi said, "The lost formation is gone."
After this matter was resolved, Long Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps only he knew how difficult it would be to get Ling Xi to retrieve the lost Spiritual Array. For the sake of this moment, he had risked his life. Everyone thought that it was impossible. Only he believed in his own abilities.
After letting Lingxi go back to rest, Long Chen faced Ling Huang again. After all, it was not over yet. There was still the second bet. This second bet was made by Long Chen, and it was the most fatal one. It was enough to make the loser lose everything.
Ling Huang looked at him with a smile, and said, "Sigh, do you know what I'm most glad about now?"
Long Chen said, "It's the second bet."
Ling Huang nodded, and said, "You're really smart. That's right, I'm very glad that you made the second bet. Otherwise, you would have won and left without knowing why. How depressed would I be? Thank you for giving me a chance to reverse the situation. Maybe I didn't have any desire or interest to fight you before, but now, I'm so eager that I can't even breathe … This is such an exciting bet."
Long Chen naturally didn't regret his unnecessary action. He made the second bet because without the support of the second bet, he wouldn't have lasted until now.
