Long Chen could already smell the fiery aura. The Nine Heavenly Fire Beast's flames were extremely powerful. Even before it got close, Long Chen could already feel the burning pain on his back. The burning sensation made his body smoke.
"I'm really going to die this time."
Long Chen was in extreme despair. If it was a Sixth or Seventh Grade Earth Ranked Demonic Beast, he could still contend with it. However, it was indeed a Ninth Grade Earth Ranked Demonic Beast. It was estimated that its battle prowess was comparable to the peerless experts of the Cangyang Kingdom, Sword Demon and the others. In this Ni Yang Immortal's Realm, it was estimated that it was the most powerful Demonic Beast. Facing such a powerful Demonic Beast, how could he survive?
"Little Xi."
Thinking of Lingxi and feeling the crazy flames behind him, Long Chen's blood instantly boiled. He found it difficult to breathe. His chest seemed to be exploding again and again. His whole body was congested with blood. If he had not used the Dragon Soul Transformation, his whole body would have been covered with bulging veins.
"How can I die here like this? I can't accept it."
At this time, the flames behind him could swallow him at any time. Long Chen had reached his limit. He raised his head angrily and roared with unwillingness.
"Go to hell."
At this time, Long Chen felt as if his body was about to explode. His blood was already flowing very fast, but now it was even faster. Countless amounts of blood seemed to have turned into small blood-colored dragons, which swarmed forward in his blood-colored light and let out a series of earth-shattering dragon roars.
The Primordial Divine Dragon was the most heaven-defying creature. At this time, it was like it was hibernating in Long Chen's body, but it was threatened by the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast. Coupled with Long Chen's unwillingness to accept it, Long Chen kept feeling as if something in his body was about to break out and directly smash the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast into pieces.
That was the bloodline of the dragon.
Roar.
Long Chen let out a deep dragon roar. At this moment, he realized that the mysterious dragon jade, which had been silent for a long time, was moving again.
In Long Chen's sea of consciousness, the mysterious dragon jade emitted a pitch-black light that enveloped a drop of divine dragon's inheritance blood. There was still 99.99% of the inheritance blood here. At this moment, a familiar scene happened again. Under the influence of the mysterious dragon jade, the drop of inheritance blood was controlled and moved towards the dragon jade.
Being controlled in such a manner, the Legacy Blood Essence seemed to be filled to the brim. However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Long Chen could vaguely sense that within the tiny Legacy Blood Essence, there was an earth-shattering blood-colored divine dragon lying dormant. At this moment, it was howling and roaring furiously, trying to resist the power of the mysterious dragon jade.
However, it was useless.
Similar to how Long Chen had comprehended the Blood Refinement Into Qi and the Dragon Soul Transformation, the Dragon Jade now had flowing blood veins. These blood veins were similar to the time when he had comprehended the Blood Refinement Into Qi.
"Blood Escape …"
These two words appeared in Long Chen's mind. When he had comprehended the Blood Refinement Into Qi, these words had appeared in his mind. Only then did Long Chen understand the meaning of this heaven-defying mystique.
As for the blood escape, it was only because of the threat of the Nine Heavens Flame Beasts that Long Chen had been forced to use the mysterious dragon jade, which had allowed him to gain enlightenment of this divine ability. Long Chen hadn't even used it yet, so he didn't know how powerful it was.
From the moment the mysterious dragon jade had reacted to the moment Long Chen had comprehended the Blood Escape, only a short period of time had passed. Just as the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast was about to burn Long Chen to a crisp, Long Chen used the Blood Escape with all his might.
He believed in the mysterious dragon jade, so this was his last chance to save his life. If even the Blood Escape didn't work, Long Chen would definitely die this time.
"Blood Escape, activate …"
Long Chen, who was about to be engulfed by the flames, suddenly transformed into a beam of blood-colored light that instantly disappeared under the Nine Heavens Truefire Beast's eyelids. The Nine Heavens Truefire Beast only had time to see the beam of blood-colored light, which looked like a long snake, before Long Chen disappeared.
In reality, this wasn't a long snake, but a legendary Primordial Divine Dragon. When Long Chen used the Blood Escape Technique, his entire body appeared to be in a liquefied state. He even turned into a blood-colored ray of light that instantly disappeared into the distance. However, this blood-colored ray of light looked like a blood-colored divine dragon.
Long Chen couldn't even describe how fast he was now. In any case, he was certain that the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast would never be able to catch up to him. His speed was even faster than the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast, which was several times faster than him. The Nine Heavenly Fire Beast hadn't expected Long Chen to be this fast. Hence, when the tiny figure in front of it disappeared, it finally reacted. It let out a furious roar that shook the heavens and earth as it roared and chased after Long Chen frantically.
Under the blazing body of the beast, all the elixirs were charred black and destroyed …
Long Chen wasn't worried, because in just a split second, the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast behind him had already disappeared. Long Chen hurriedly made a turn. With this turn, it was basically impossible for the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast to find him.
Before he could rejoice that he hadn't died, a feeling of weakness filled his entire body. It was only then that Long Chen realized that the Blood Escape consumed a lot of his vital energy. He had only run for about five kilometers, but his vital energy was almost completely used up. If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have been sucked dry by the Blood Escape.
Suddenly, a blood-colored ray of light took the form of a human standing on the ground. Long Chen hurriedly turned his head around and heard a series of angry roars coming from behind him. However, the Nine Heavens True Fire Beast was already nowhere to be seen.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"Looks like I can't be so impulsive and impatient in the future, or I'll ruin things sooner or later. If I hadn't comprehended the Blood Escape in the nick of time, I would have been dead for sure …
"If I die, Little Xi … Sigh, it's only because of her that I'm in such a hurry to get the Nine Heavenly Immortal Fruit." Long Chen felt a little helpless.
His attention was now focused on the Blood Escape.
"Blood Refinement into Qi, Dragon Soul Transformation, Devouring World of Blood, and this Blood Escape are all heaven-defying mystiques. Moreover, they can be upgraded as I level up. The Blood Escape allows me to burn my vital energy and instantly gain a speed that's even faster than the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast. The downside is that I can only run five kilometers with my current vital energy to maintain this speed. However, five kilometers is enough for me to escape. This Blood Escape is indeed an ultimate escape technique."
With the Blood Escape, Long Chen's life would be much more secure in the future. Although the Blood Escape was not as dazzling as the Blood Refinement into Qi, it was indeed an ultimate life-saving mystique. If Long Chen used it well, he might be able to save a few lives. If not for the Blood Escape, Long Chen would definitely not be able to survive.
"Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon, Ancestral Dragon's blood essence. I can't be wrong. I'm the world's number one Ancestral Dragon martial artist who surpassed the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf, as the Burning Sky Demon Emperor said."
At the thought of this, Long Chen was a little excited.
However, since his vital energy was exhausted, he had no choice but to take the Sky River Pill and cultivate at the same time. It took him an hour to completely recover his vital energy. He had learned his lesson this time and found a secluded place to hide. Ordinary immortal beasts would not be able to find this place.
After regaining his strength, Long Chen stood up and sensed carefully. He found that the movements outside were much quieter, and the roars of beasts did not seem to be as loud. It seemed that the immortal beast stampede this time was almost over.
"It seems that the Nine Heavenly Immortal Fruit is not so easy to get. I've learned my lesson. Remember not to be impatient."
Long Chen thought to himself. Just as he was about to return home, he suddenly heard the angry roar of the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast.
"It hasn't left yet. It's really haunting me."
Long Chen did not intend to pay attention to it and was about to leave. At this moment, he suddenly heard that the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast seemed to be fighting with someone. The person who could fight with the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast must be in the upper echelons of the Ni Yang Immortal Realm. Moreover, he had the protection of the Blood Escape this time. Long Chen did not hesitate and directly headed in the direction of the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast's roar.
"Who is fighting with the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast?"
Long Chen concealed himself as he headed in that direction cautiously. After passing a few mountains that weren't too high, he lay prone on one of them, and finally saw the Nine Heavens True Fire Beast fighting him to the death. It let out a series of angry roars, and he could see that its body was already covered in wounds.
"This sword …"
The one fighting the Jiutian Fire Beast was a young man. Long Chen couldn't see his face clearly from where he was, but from his tall and straight posture, as well as the way he brandished his sword, he could tell that this young man was definitely a super expert.
However, what was even more attractive was his sword. It was practically a golden divine sword made entirely out of gold. In the process of fighting the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast, it gave off waves of cold light. The material of this divine sword was definitely much more precious than real gold. Otherwise, it would have been able to withstand the crazy fighting power of the young man.
"To be able to fight the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast head-on and using this golden divine sword, I know who you are …"
After coming to Bi Yang Imperial City and being influenced by Xiao Lang, Long Chen had some understanding of the young experts of the Imperial City. Among the young members of the royal family, there were basically not many who were simple. Some people's cultivation was average, but they had military achievements and outstanding political achievements. Some people strictly restricted themselves and focused on cultivation, achieving extraordinary achievements. One of the most impressive achievements was the young man in front of him.
Long Chen remembered that his name was Lin Zichen, the fourth prince of the current Sword Emperor. His weapon was the number one divine weapon of the Cangyang Kingdom, the Emperor's Sword. Moreover, his cultivation level was the most heaven-defying ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier.
