The person with the highest authority in the Cangyang Kingdom was known as the Sword Emperor. The Fourth Prince, Lin Zichen, did not have any achievements in governing the country, but in martial arts, he had completely inherited the tradition of the Sword Emperor. He was known as the Young Sword Emperor, which meant that one day, Lin Zichen would become the real Sword Emperor.
The ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier was the most terrifying genius that Long Chen had ever met. Since young, Lin Zichen was practically the legend of the Cangyang Kingdom. In the entire younger generation of the Bi Yang Imperial City, other than Lin Zichen, there was not a single martial artist at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier. The highest was only at the seventh level of the Heavenly River Tier, and that seventh level of the Heavenly River Tier might not even be able to reach the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier in his lifetime.
Hence, in the Bi Yang Imperial City, Lin Zichen's freakishness was unrivaled. In Bi Yang Imperial City, Lin Zichen was equivalent to Long Chen coming out of the Burning Heaven Mystery Realm. In Yuan Ling City, the younger generation had no opponents, and even many experts of the older generation were not his match.
One had to know that even in the Da He Clan of the three major clans, the strongest person was only at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, Song Zhong City.
There was even a rumor that in the Imperial Family, Lin Zichen, who possessed the Emperor's Sword, inherited from the Emperor, had battle prowess comparable to the Imperial Uncle, the Sword Demon, who had already reached the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier for over 20 years. He was one of the three super experts of the Imperial Family.
And now, such a genius was right in front of Long Chen.
Long Chen had to admit that just by looking at him, this young elite with sword Qi gave him endless pressure. The golden Emperor Sword was waved time and time again, emitting huge waves. Heaven and earth were filled with the sword rays of the Emperor Sword. The Nine Heavenly Fire Beast let out a series of angry roars. Although its flames, sharp claws, and all kinds of magical powers were very powerful, they could not hit the agile Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen was a Soldier martial artist. At this moment, his Soldier Soul had already integrated into the Emperor Sword and was intimately connected with the Emperor Sword. In this state, Lin Zichen could display 200% of his combat power. The Soldier Soul of a Soldier martial artist increased his combat power more than the Beast Soul of a Beast Martial Artist. Moreover, the Emperor Sword was the most famous Peerless Godly Weapon in the entire Cangyang Kingdom. A Sword Martial Artist with the Emperor Sword and all kinds of nature-defying talents, even the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast was not Lin Zichen's match. Long Chen was dumbfounded as he watched. Lin Zichen was really too powerful. The Nine Heavenly Fire Beast could easily kill Long Chen, but it was easily killed by him.
Every time the Emperor Sword was waved, a large amount of blood rain would appear on the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast's body. The blood splattered on the ground, and the originally clean ground was gradually dyed red by the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast's blood.
Long Chen was originally watching the battle under great pressure, but when he saw the blood splattered, his eyes instantly lit up.
"The blood of a Ninth Grade Earth Rank Demonic Beast. Even a little bit of it would bring about an unexpected improvement."
Long Chen's heart was boiling with excitement. Now was the time when he needed strength the most, but he could not kill a powerful demonic beast. If he had the blood of this demonic beast …
Long Chen originally wanted to leave immediately to avoid being discovered and causing trouble. However, when he saw the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast's blood splattering, he decided to stay.
Time passed by slowly. Lin Zichen's extraordinary fighting strength and ruthless methods had widened Long Chen's horizons. He was indeed worthy of being called the number one genius of Cangyang Kingdom. He knew that the Nine Heavens Fire Beast was extremely powerful, so he didn't clash head-on with it. Instead, he kept using teleportation to attack, and finally, he killed the Nine Heavens Fire Beast.
That huge corpse fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up smoke and dust that filled the air.
Honestly speaking, Long Chen coveted this corpse very much. If this Ninth Grade Earth Rank Demonic Beast could fall into his hands, he would definitely advance a few levels. Of course, this was impossible. The corpse of an Earth Rank Ninth Grade Immortal Beast was also very important to Lin Zichen. Thus, he quickly stored the corpse of the Immortal Beast into his Cosmos Sack, sized up the surroundings, and finally left, satisfied.
From the beginning to the end, he did not see that there was another youth lying on the ground in the distant mountain, observing the process of him killing the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast.
"I have to say, he is really strong. Whether it is his temperament or strength, he is really much stronger than the Ninth Prince."
When Lin Zichen had completely disappeared, Long Chen felt a little emotional. This was not because he wanted to boost his opponent's morale and belittle his own, but because the other party was really too difficult to deal with.
"Before I have enough strength, I definitely cannot come into conflict with this freak." Presently, Long Chen was only at the second level of the Heavenly River Tier, so he knew what he had to do.
At this moment, Lin Zichen had already left, and Long Chen used his fastest speed to head towards the battlefield just now. This place had been burnt to a mess, and there was black, scorched earth everywhere. What covered this scorched earth was the blood essence of the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast. It should have been quite a long time ago, so a lot of the blood essence had already dried up and become useless. However, there was still a lot that was useful.
Long Chen did not waste any more time. He hurriedly used the Devouring Blood World, and all the blood essence of the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast that could be moved, under the effect of the Devouring Blood World, rushed towards him and was swallowed by his body that was like an endless abyss. Finally, it turned into blood-red True Qi, which flowed violently in the veins of his body.
For Long Chen, the blood essence of the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast was like a great supplement. Although the quantity was not much, the quality was very high. Now, Long Chen was seven levels higher than the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast. A small drop of blood essence, after being refined and filtered by refining blood into Qi, could transform into numerous blood-red True Qi, which flowed into Long Chen's body.
"It is time to break through to the third level of the Heavenly River Tier …"
At this thought, Long Chen suddenly realized that there seemed to be no starry sky in the sky of Ni Yang's Immortal's Realm. Without a starry sky, it would be difficult to communicate with the power of the galaxy. Without the power of the galaxy, if he only relied on the Heavenly River Pill, it would cause the galaxy that he had formed to lack stability, and could really collapse at any time.
However, perhaps it was not that terrifying.
At this time, Long Chen could not care so much anymore. The blood essence of the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast was gradually being refined by him. If he did not use this True Qi to condense the galaxy, the large amount of True Qi would sooner or later cause him to explode.
"Even if there is no starry sky, I can still condense the galaxy."
Long Chen gritted his teeth, sat down cross-legged, and frantically circulated the True Qi throughout his body. This time, he had devoured an especially large amount of True Qi, so it was a little difficult to control. However, this was not Long Chen's limit. This superior dragon body did not give Long Chen much physical toughness, but in terms of the various natural endowments of the physical body, he was several times stronger than ordinary people, or even more than ten times stronger. For example, in that aspect, it would definitely shock the world …
Huo.
Long Chen felt that if he did not condense the Star Meridian soon, his body would not be able to hold on, so he hurriedly took out more than a hundred Sky River Pills from the Cosmos Sack and directly stuffed them into his mouth. Although his heart ached, it was impossible to step into the third level of the Heavenly River Tier without Sky River Pills.
More than a hundred Sky River Pills turned into the power of the stars, helping Long Chen to start condensing the galaxy. Because in Ni Yang's Immortal's Realm, there was no visible galaxy forming at all, so Long Chen directly decided to condense the third level of the Yin Yang Galaxy together and truly step into the third level of the Heavenly River Tier.
With the Sky River Pills and a huge amount of True Qi, Long Chen easily condensed the third level of the Yin Yang Galaxy and stepped into the third level of the Heavenly River Tier. His strength increased a lot, but the only small accident was that the amount of 100 Sky River Pills was not enough. Long Chen spent more than 300 Sky River Pills to finally condense the Yin Yang Galaxy in his body.
However, the True Qi contained in the essence of the Nine Heavens True Fire Beast was too much. Even if Long Chen reached the third level of the Heavenly River Tier, there was still a huge amount of True Qi stored in his body. In a situation where the third level was not stable, Long Chen had to start advancing towards the fourth level of the Heavenly River Tier.
"Blood, slaughter."
At this moment, Long Chen felt as if there was a cold aura pervading his mind. He suddenly felt that blood would make him very excited, and of course, so would slaughter.
"I guess it's because I've used too much Refining Blood into Qi that my mind has been affected by the inherited blood essence." Long Chen felt a little helpless. However, in order to strengthen himself, this little influence should not be a problem.
Thus, Long Chen began his breakthrough to the fourth level of the Heavenly River Tier. The difficulty of the fourth level of the Heavenly River Tier was much higher than that of the third level of the Heavenly River Tier, and the number of Sky River Pills required was also much higher. Long Chen only had a total of over two thousand Sky River Pills, and they were quickly used up. Condensing the fourth level of the Galaxy took him over a thousand Sky River Pills before he succeeded. When Long Chen used all his True Qi to condense the fourth pair of Stars of the Galaxy, he was only left with one to two hundred Sky River Pills.
Because of the essence of the Nine Heavens True Fire Beast, Long Chen soared from the second level to the fourth level of the Heavenly River Tier, which was a crazy leap of two levels. Long Chen believed that with the Mystical Abilities such as the Dragon Soul Transformation and the Divine Fire Clone, although his current strength was not as monstrous as Lin Zichen's, it was still enough to deal with others, such as Yu Tao and Songyue Feng, who was eyeing him covetously.
"What a powerful feeling. My body is filled with power …" Feeling the power in his body, Long Chen let out a sinister laugh. His eyes were tinged with a faint blood-red colour.
"What's going on?"
Although he was very powerful, Long Chen found that he could not control his body. It was as if there was a force in his body that was constantly urging him to do something. Long Chen thought for a moment and realized that it was killing.
"My body is very hot. Why do I want someone to fight with me so much?"
Long Chen thought doubtfully. He guessed that this was a symptom of refining blood into Qi too much. It should be fine after a while, so he restrained himself a little, and there was not much left.
"Next, I should go back to the elementary domain and see if there are other opportunities."
