"Two hundred Heavenly River Pills … Why am I burning money like this?"
At this critical juncture, Long Chen was actually feeling depressed about this matter. He only had a little over two thousand Heavenly River Pills in total, and he had already spent two hundred just to open up the starry sky in his body. In the future, when he cultivated in the Heavenly River Tier, two thousand Heavenly River Pills would probably not be enough at all.
However, at this critical juncture of life and death, he could only take out two hundred Heavenly River Pills and condense 18 star veins. At this time, 18 dark blue star veins ran through Long Chen's body, from his chest to his arms, from his head to his tailbone, and from his hips to his legs. There were thick star veins everywhere.
From the outside, one could see these faintly discernible star veins. When these star veins were combined together, it looked like a real starry sky from afar. However, this starry sky was empty, and what was missing was a star.
There were two key steps to breaking through to the Heavenly River Tier. These two steps could be completed together, but they could also be separated. Only by completing these two steps could one truly reach the first level of the Heavenly River Tier. Long Chen had already opened up a starry sky in his body, and could be considered to have completed the first step. The second step was to draw on the star power of the Heavenly Pivot Galaxy and fuse it with his star veins. Then, he would fuse it with his Dragon Soul True Qi so that his True Qi would completely transform into a liquid galaxy.
It was currently daytime, so Long Chen could only complete the Yang Heavenly River of the Heavenly Pivot Galaxy. As for the other Heavenly River, he would have to wait until night time to complete it. Now, Long Chen was preparing to condense the first Heavenly River of the star veins in his body, the Heavenly Pivot Galaxy.
The Star Gathering Art was used to open up a Heavenly River, and the Star Attraction Art was used to draw on the power of the Heavenly River. This power was invisible, and as long as one could see a Heavenly River, one could use the Star Attraction Art to obtain the power of the Heavenly River Stars. Long Chen was currently using the Star Attraction Art.
"This is …"
With a boom, Long Chen found himself in an endless void. In front of him was a glorious river of stars. Long Chen was deeply shocked. This scene appeared too suddenly. Long Chen vaguely felt that this entire river of stars was calling out to him. Hence, Long Chen's spirit connected with it. Only then could he hear the voice of this river of stars.
Very quickly, Long Chen discovered that he had returned to his original position. The only difference was that he could feel a mysterious, formless energy within his body. This energy had a violent attribute, and at this moment, it was like a type of adhesive. At this moment, it was pouring into Long Chen's first star vein, the Dubhe Star Vein.
This was the true power of formation.
When the formed power was channeled into the Dubhe Star Vein, Long Chen also guided his True Qi into the Dubhe Star Vein. When the Dragon Soul True Qi met the power of the stars, it gradually fused. Long Chen could see that within the blood-red True Qi, a large amount of formless starlight had fused into it. The True Qi had turned into a liquid state, like a sparkling river of blood flowing within the Dubhe Star Vein.
If his True Qi was magnified countless times, it would be a sparkling blood-red river of stars. Compared to an ordinary light blue river of stars, his blood-red river of stars was even more magnificent.
When all the Dragon Soul True Qi was completely transformed, a beautiful blood-red river of stars appeared in Long Chen's star vein. This was one of the Dubhe Star Veins. Long Chen could only be considered to have completed half of the first layer of the Heavenly River Tier. However, just this alone, his strength had once again soared several times.
He opened his eyes.
In an instant, a blood-red starlight pierced towards the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds. And at this time, Long Chen suddenly stood up. At this time, he was still in his Dragon Soul Transformation, but he had a different temperament. After successfully reaching the Heavenly River Tier, his temperament had changed a lot, and his whole body was filled with a mysterious aura.
Long Chen was able to come back from the dead and gain a blessing in disguise. For Xiao Lang, this was a great surprise. For Emperor Yuan, this was a nightmare. When Long Chen opened up the starry sky in his body, he had a hunch that Long Chen would succeed. At that time, he attacked desperately, wanting to get rid of Xiao Lang and give Long Chen a fatal blow. However, the anxious him was even less of a match for Xiao Lang. When Long Chen stood up, he was already covered in wounds. If he insisted on not escaping, it was very likely that he would die in the hands of Long Chen.
And when Long Chen successfully reached the Heavenly River Tier and stood up, seeing the blood-red starlight in his eyes, Emperor Yuan was so scared that his face turned pale. Long Chen was already able to kill the Blue Dragon Grand Elder, who was at the first layer of the Heavenly River Tier, before reaching the Heavenly River Tier. He already couldn't deal with Xiao Lang, let alone the current Long Chen.
In the face of dignity and survival, Emperor Yuan gritted his teeth and chose to survive. All of his previous arrogance was thrown out the window when Long Chen reached the Heavenly River Tier. At this time, he actually felt a sense of despair.
"For that child to be able to come back from death's door in such an adversity, he is most definitely a person with great luck. For me to fight against him was purely bringing about my own destruction. Unfortunately, I only understood this principle today."
Emperor Yuan's heart was filled with horror. At this time, he was injured all over, but he still fled at his fastest speed. Long Chen was someone who had to leave Yuan Spirit City after all. As long as Long Chen couldn't catch up to him, he would be safe and sound in the future.
However, how could Long Chen possibly allow the person who had nearly killed him to escape?
With half of the strength of the first layer of the Heavenly River Tier, coupled with the Dragon Soul Transformation, Long Chen burst out with a speed comparable to the second layer of the Heavenly River Tier. And because Emperor Yuan was injured, his speed increased slightly. Under Long Chen's pursuit, the distance between the two gradually closed.
At the same time, Xiao Lang was also chasing from the other side, leaving Emperor Yuan with nowhere to escape.
"Blood Devouring Realm."
Suddenly, a blood-red mist directly swallowed Emperor Yuan. The power of Long Chen's Blood Devouring Realm directly affected him. At this time, the power of the Blood Devouring Realm increased a lot because of Long Chen's advancement. Emperor Yuan, who could still resist before, was now greatly restrained.
Especially when he was covered in wounds all over. At this time, the huge amount of blood was about to escape his control and fly towards Long Chen.
"No!"
The heart-wrenching pain made Emperor Yuan let out a scream. Under the power of the Blood Devouring Realm, he couldn't move an inch. He hurriedly turned his head and tried his best to control his blood with his True Qi, not letting it be swallowed by Long Chen, this monster.
"Long Chen, what kind of monster are you …"
When he said this last sentence, Emperor Yuan felt the light of a blade flash in front of his eyes. Before he could say the last word, he suddenly felt the world spinning, and he was confused. In his last glance, he saw a tall young man standing in front of him with a cold smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.
After that, he didn't know anything anymore.
After Emperor Yuan died, Long Chen removed the Blood Devouring Realm. Emperor Yuan was only one level higher than him, his blood wouldn't be of much use to Long Chen. Moreover, with such a big commotion here, sooner or later, it would spread to the Ninth Prince. Long Chen didn't want the Ninth Prince to know that he actually had the ability to devour the blood of others to enhance his True Qi.
With a bang, Emperor Yuan's headless corpse fell to the ground.
Emperor Yuan's head was lying at Long Chen's feet at this time.
Just now, when Emperor Yuan turned his head, Long Chen's Blue Dragon Battle Halberd directly swept across his neck, directly beheading this old ghost.
After dealing with Emperor Yuan, Long Chen felt relieved. However, this battle had been very thrilling from the beginning until now. Long Chen even made a move in front of the gates of hell. After everything was over, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking back at Xiao Lang, at this time, Xiao Lang had already walked to Long Chen's side. Xiao Lang was very happy that Long Chen could survive and gain greater strength. The current Long Chen just needed to complete another Dubhe Galaxy, and his combat power would be almost the same as Xiao Lang's.
After Xiao Lang became a Sun Devouring Monster Wolf, Long Chen's strength once again approached and even surpassed him.
Looking at Emperor Yuan's corpse, Xiao Lang also felt a little emotional. This was the strongest person in Yuan Spirit City, he didn't expect that he would die at the feet of Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang today.
"Let's go, Xiao Lang, everything is over. Before we go to Bi Yang Imperial City, let's say goodbye to everyone. Let's go to Sister Mengyao's place first and report to her that we are safe."
Xiao Lang nodded.
As for Emperor Yuan's corpse, Long Chen believed that someone would come to clean it up soon.
In fact, many people had already gathered around this place. The news of Long Chen killing Emperor Yuan would soon spread throughout the entire Yuan Spirit City. This wasn't a very secluded place, so there was no reason for such a big commotion to happen without anyone knowing about it.
'Could it be that the Ninth Prince already knows that Emperor Yuan is chasing after me, but he didn't come to rescue me?'
Long Chen secretly thought about this problem. Logically speaking, Jade Emperor Palace should have received the news soon. If the Ninth Prince wanted to save Long Chen, he would have already done so. It was impossible that he hadn't come yet.
'Or, he came to the side and saw that I was breaking through to the Heavenly River Realm, so he didn't make a move …' Long Chen thought to himself.
They soon left the scene.
Not long after they left, there were already many onlookers around, but still no one dared to go forward and look at the number one elite of Yuan Spirit City.
In the corner, the Ninth Prince finished watching everything. At this time, he turned around in confusion and said, "Elder Yan, did you see that? He took nearly 200 Heavenly River Pills in total, and the Mystical Power he used actually had the ability to devour blood."
"Your Highness only gave him 100 Heavenly River Pills in total, which means that he had another fortuitous encounter. It's very likely that he obtained something else in the Burning Sky Mystery Realm. Moreover, 200 Heavenly River Pills means that his physique is far superior to ordinary people. In the entire Cangyang Nation, I have never heard of such a physique." The black-robed butler, Elder Yan, sighed with a gloomy gaze.
"However, 200 pills doesn't necessarily mean that he has an excellent physique. There was once someone who used more than 100 Heavenly River Pills to open up the galaxy when he reached the Heavenly River Realm. After that, his achievements were similar to that of a good-for-nothing. He used so many Heavenly River Pills only because his physique was inferior enough that it was difficult to transform."
"The strangest thing is that Mystical Power he used to devour blood. I feel that he should have an extraordinary fortuitous encounter. Could there be something on him that shocked me?" The Ninth Prince said indifferently.
"Your Highness is going to make a move."
"No, haste makes waste. When we return to Jade Emperor City, I will slowly think of a plan to avoid alerting the enemy." The Ninth Prince smiled.
