The process of Lingxi's growth was undoubtedly thrilling for Long Chen.
For a man, watching his woman fight might be a little bitter, but it was necessary, because he could not protect her all the time. There would always be accidents, such as this time.
So he understood that he could not continue to be arrogant. Lingxi chose to face it bravely, to protect the man and child she wanted to protect. No matter what, he should support her decision.
At the very least, Long Chen suddenly discovered that even though she had become fiercer recently, just like when they had first met, the current her was even more enchanting and charming. She began to act swiftly and decisively, doing things decisively and tenaciously. Her growth simply made Long Chen proud and infatuated with her. Even though he was protecting her, he paid less and less attention to her. It was only at this moment that he realized how irreplaceable Ling Xi was.
And her opponent, Di Yao, was still stronger than Lingxi in terms of sword will and strength. It was difficult to stop this battle. Every once in a while, Di Yao would appear and fight to the death with her. Every time, it was very intense. What made Long Chen feel gratified was that he saw from Lingxi's attacks that she gradually formed a sword will similar to Di Yao's, but vaguely had her own understanding of sword will. It was an indescribable sword rule, and its destructive power was astonishing.
At the same time, Long Chen also cultivated with peace of mind, advancing towards the Great Tribulation of Gods and Demons. At the same time, he often anxiously and indignantly asked the God King of Hell if there was any news of the murderer. At the same time, he would go out and cause a ruckus from time to time, lest others find it strange. Although this behavior made those who cared about him very sad for him, the five great Dragon Cities fell into hatred and silence. Long Chen could only feel sorry in his heart. For the time being, he could not tell everyone that Lingxi was not dead.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for him to take revenge.
After that, he gradually faded from the sight of the gods. Even if he was a hermit, the gods did not bother to think about him. They knew that this matter would be a huge blow to Long Chen, and they gloated many times over his misfortune.
When Lingxi was fighting Di Yao in the Sky Supreme Sword Sea, the real Di Yao came. Long Chen did not want to see anyone, but the Dragon Emperor could not stop this little Shenhuang.
She came to the Red Dragon Palace and saw that Long Chen was cultivating alone. She said softly, "I've come to see you."
Long Chen raised his head to look at her, only to see a hint of worry and heartache hidden in her bright, light golden eyes. Perhaps it was a woman's unique maternal instinct. He didn't expect that his encounter would make this hot-tempered woman pity him so much. This time, she even personally came to visit him. She still owed him a favor and felt guilty, so Long Chen didn't think that there was anything wrong.
"Princess, are you so free? I don't have anything to see. I'm just cultivating."
Long Chen's expression was indifferent. Even though there was a beautiful Divine Emperor Princess standing next to him, who countless people wanted to have as their own, he was not interested.
Perhaps Di Yao had expected his lukewarm attitude, she said, "Don't torture yourself anymore. How about I accompany you out for a walk this time? In the past, I was the one who ordered you around, but today, I promise I won't do it. You should go out and relax. Don't always stay here, lest you think of someone else and become even sadder. The person has already passed away, there's nothing you can do about it."
She had changed so much and cared for him, which surprised Long Chen. In his memory, she was not such a person. Could it be that she sympathized with him to this extent because of his situation? Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed tragic to lose a wife and a daughter, and two lives.
Long Chen was too embarrassed to give her an attitude. Although he hated the gods now, he still had a difference in his heart. At least for now, Di Yao no longer looked down on him.
He said, "Princess, to tell the truth, I'm sorry … I really don't want to go anywhere right now. I just want to stay here quietly, cultivate, and strive for a breakthrough."
Di Yao didn't mind. She smiled faintly and said with a rare gentleness, "Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll stay here and talk with you. It shouldn't be a problem, right? If you refuse again, I'll get angry."
Although he couldn't wait for her to leave so that he could quietly accompany Ling Xi, she had good intentions after all. Long Chen also had some plans in his heart. If he were to become enemies with the Godking of Hell and Di Yao were to stand on his side, there might still be room for negotiation when facing the Godking of Myriad Worlds. Therefore, to him, it wasn't very wise to offend Di Yao too much.
Therefore, he nodded and agreed.
Di Yao seemed to have prepared for a long time. She stayed by Long Chen's side and talked about all kinds of topics, allowing Long Chen to understand her better. At the same time, she constantly comforted Long Chen, trying to pull him out of his pain.
"A woman who can make you feel so much pain must really love you, so you can't let her down. Sigh … I don't seem to have any friends. After coming to this Dragon Sacrificial Continent, I looked down on you. Later on, you saved my two lives in the Curse Realm, and I realized that you were quite interesting. I also helped you save your two companions, so we can be considered friends. In any case, it's quite interesting to be with you. If we are friends, of course I don't want you to be too sad. You wouldn't think that I'm a weasel paying respects to a chicken with bad intentions, right?"
Long Chen conversed with Lingxi and Di Yao at the same time. Come to think of it, he was quite busy. In addition, Lingxi was fighting with Di Yao, and he was actually talking to her here. This scene was quite strange. There were several times when Long Chen even thought that the Di Yao on the other side was the real Di Yao.
Di Yao had never left. After a few days of interaction, Long Chen had become much more familiar with her. It was rare for her to be so concerned about him, and she wasn't as unruly and willful as before. It would be embarrassing to chase her away. Moreover, he didn't have the spiritual sword and the plain sword with him, so it seemed like he couldn't chase this woman away.
At this moment, Di Yao said, "Do you still remember how you attacked me the first time we met? To be honest, you really have guts. Moreover, I was still angry at that time. Those two swords you used back then were both Creation God Artifacts, right? It's really a miracle that you can still have such good things in this small place."
The Di Yao back then and the Di Yao now were indeed two different people. Therefore, Long Chen still wasn't quite used to her being so enthusiastic now.
"Indeed."
Di Yao looked at him and said, "Strange, at that time, those two swords gave me a very strong feeling, and it was also very scary. How come you don't have that feeling now? Those two dao treasures are not with you anymore, or did you hide them from me?"
The news that the spiritual sword and the plain sword were not with him, Long Chen was still not willing to divulge it, so he smiled and didn't answer Di Yao. Unexpectedly, Di Yao suddenly said, "Although you already have a Creation God Artifact, and both are Creation God Artifacts, you are also my first friend. As my first friend, I must give you a gift. Do you know my Nine Star Emperor Sword?"
Long Chen was stunned for a moment. Just because he had become her friend, she was going to give him the Nine-Star Emperor Sword? That was a true Genesis Level Fortune Divine Weapon that was forged from nine blazing suns. Its might was terrifying, and combined with Di Yao's Flame Law, its destructive power was heaven-defying.
Of course, she wouldn't give the most suitable Creation God Artifact to him.
Therefore, he said, "Princess Di Yao means."
Di Yao shook her head, pouted, and said angrily, "I already said I'm your friend, so you can't call me Princess anymore. That's treating me like an outsider. You can just call me Yao'er. My father and uncles all call me that too."
Long Chen didn't want to act recklessly. Calling her Yao'er was a matter of life and death. Therefore, he tactfully changed the topic, and asked, "You can't be thinking of giving me the Nine Star Emperor Sword, right?"
It just so happened that the spiritual sword Su Jian wasn't here, and his power was greatly reduced. If he could "borrow" a Creation God Artifact from her, even if it was Creation God Artifact or above, that would be very good. Long Chen wouldn't refuse her things because of her identity. After this period of time, he could just return it to her. Moreover, with a Creation God Artifact from Di Yao, the ancient gods wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Di Yao saw that he was interested, and she was secretly happy. She blushed a little and said, "Of course it's not the Nine Star Emperor Sword. In your dreams. However, it's actually about the same as the Nine Star Emperor Sword. When I became a consummate Divine Sovereign, my father gave me a total of two Creation God Artifacts for me to choose. I prefer swords, so I chose the Nine Star Emperor Sword. Therefore, I still have a Creation God Artifact here, and I'm prepared to give it to you. It's a pair with the Nine Star Emperor Sword."
It really was a Creation God Artifact.
Long Chen stood up in shock. He had always thought that she was joking with him. He didn't think that what she said was true. A dignified Creation God Artifact was given away just like that. Only the daughter of a Divine Emperor could be so awesome.
Seeing him making a fuss over nothing, Di Yao was very satisfied. From the consolation these few days, it seemed to her that Long Chen had already slowly opened up her heart, and she was no longer in so much pain.
In reality, she didn't understand that Long Chen didn't feel pain at all. He only felt anger and hatred.
She was one step closer to her goal. In her opinion, after giving away the gift, their relationship would definitely take a step forward. Therefore, she said impatiently, "The Nine Star Emperor Sword is formed by nine blazing suns in the endless starry sky. The blazing suns were formed after the divine beast 'Golden Crow' died. Therefore, the Nine Star Emperor Sword has the vast power of the blazing sun laws. As for the other Creation God Artifact, it's even more ancient. Its name is the 'Peerless Dragon Slaying Saber'."
Dragon Slaying.
Just the name alone made Long Chen very uncomfortable.
However, Di Yao still proudly introduced, "In reality, the Peerless Dragon Slaying Saber is also related to the divine beast, the Three Legged Golden Crow. However, it is an evolved and mutated Golden Crow. Its entire body is black, and it is called the 'Nirvana Black Sun'. After the Nirvana, it turns into a black sun. It is ferocious, violent, and has the power of the 'Demon Sun'. It is not scorching, but it has a terrifying destructive power. It is one of the catastrophes of destruction. A 'Three Legged Black Crow' is comparable to nine Golden Crows. This black sun was later refined into a black battle saber, and that is the Peerless Dragon Slaying Saber. As for why it was given this name, it was naturally because this saber had slain the divine dragons of the Divine Dragon Era."
After describing so much, Di Yao finally exaggerated the preciousness of the gift she wanted to give. She wanted to prove her sincerity. With such a precious gift, Long Chen might have hesitated. Although it seemed to him that he was borrowing it, he could not borrow it to such an extent …
But the most important thing was that this blade had actually killed a divine dragon. Although it was a rumor, although he did not know how it was killed, it must have existed for a long time, even longer than Di Jun. Dragon slaying, this violated Long Chen's taboo. He wanted to see how this blade would slay a dragon.
"You won't be unhappy with the name Dragon Slaying, right?" Di Yao probed.
She could only take out this blade now. If Long Chen did not like it, she could only ask Di Jun. The reason why she chose the Peerless Dragon Slaying Saber was because the Peerless Dragon Slaying Saber and the Nine Star Emperor Sword were a pair.
