"There's no time to lose. Chen, the Demon Emperor Sword has clearly acknowledged you. You should take the Demon Emperor Sword now."
Lingxi said excitedly. She knew that this was Long Chen's big goal. Now that it had been accomplished, she was extremely happy.
Long Chen nodded. He stepped forward and carefully approached the Demon Emperor Sword. Soon, his body was less than a meter away from the Demon Emperor Sword. Sizing up the Demon Emperor Sword at such a close distance, he realized that there was indeed something different about the sword.
The Demon Emperor Sword was completely black, and there were many pulsating red stripes on it. These red stripes were sometimes like runes, emitting a strange aura. Sometimes, they were like sinister ghost faces, emitting a terrifying aura. Long Chen could even feel that the Demon Emperor Sword was like a life. It was currently breathing heavily, and the faintly discernible gas around it was the gas it breathed.
This was a true divine weapon. Compared to the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd, it was much, much stronger. Long Chen could feel a majestic aura from the Demon Emperor Sword.
More importantly, the Demon Emperor Sword Dao existed within the Demon Emperor Sword. The Demon Emperor Sword Dao was a Heaven Tier battle skill. Among the Sky Devil Palace's Three Great Secret Techniques, it was ranked first. It was said that only Zhao Qingyun knew how to use it, which showed how rare it was.
The Demon Emperor Sword's test for Long Chen had already passed. Therefore, if he took the Demon Emperor Sword now, there shouldn't be any problems. However, Long Chen was still very careful. He was now in his strongest state, so he still carefully touched the Demon Emperor Sword's hilt.
In the process of approaching, the black aura on the Demon Emperor Sword was like a snake that coiled around Long Chen's arm. Long Chen didn't feel any malicious intent. On the contrary, he could feel that the other party was emitting a friendly attitude.
"It seems that Zhao Qingyun hasn't used the Demon Emperor Sword for five years. The Demon Emperor Sword must have felt lonely, so after I passed its test and gained its recognition, it became so excited."
Thinking of this, Long Chen was already relieved. However, he still couldn't let down his guard. His palm suddenly sped up. Long Chen used his qi to protect his palm before covering the Demon Emperor Sword's hilt. At that moment, Long Chen only felt a cold sensation. Without any hesitation, Long Chen used all his strength to directly pull the Demon Emperor Sword out of the altar.
With a buzzing sound, the Demon Emperor Sword suddenly came out and was held in Long Chen's hand. At that moment, the Demon Emperor Sword was violently vibrating, as if it was a prisoner that had been imprisoned for a long time and had just obtained a new life. Its vibration also caused Long Chen's hand to vibrate.
Long Chen could feel that the Demon Emperor Sword's turbulent black energy was continuously pouring into his body. After a complete cycle in his body, it returned to the Demon Emperor Sword. When it returned, the Demon Emperor Sword's energy had already been added to the brand in Long Chen's body, and it had become different.
"Not bad. The Demon Emperor Sword has detected your body's constitution, so you are completely qualified to use it. Therefore, it can be considered to have truly submitted to you. Logically speaking, a mid heaven tier divine sword would be very difficult to gain its recognition if one didn't have a Heaven Ascension realm cultivation base. However, Chen, you are relatively young and have great potential. Moreover, your Dragon Spirit Qi made the Demon Emperor Sword apprehensive, so you were able to gain its recognition."
Lingxi said happily. At that moment, her eyes were narrowed into two slits. It seemed like she was really overjoyed.
Long Chen could indeed feel that the Demon Emperor Sword and him seemed to have a blood connection. Just by holding the Demon Emperor Sword like this, Long Chen could feel every pulse on the sword and feel the flow of energy on the Demon Emperor Sword.
Looking at the black sword in his hand, the style of this sword was somewhat similar to Lingxi's Sword. However, the Demon Emperor Sword was majestic and vast. Although Lingxi's Sword was also black, it was like an abandoned rusty iron sword. It couldn't be compared to the Demon Emperor Sword.
Long Chen could feel the surging energy of the Demon Emperor Sword. With this Demon Emperor Sword, his strength would definitely increase by an abnormal margin. The moment he held the Demon Emperor Sword, Long Chen was already destined to become an expert of his generation in the Cangyang Country.
Just at that moment, a stream of information flowed towards Long Chen. A lot of information immediately appeared in Long Chen's mind. He could faintly see that in his sea of consciousness, there was a figure madly dancing the sword in his hand, bursting with powerful killing moves. Those sword skills clearly appeared in front of Long Chen's eyes. Long Chen hurriedly and carefully memorized every detail of the figure's sword dance, as well as the mnemonic chant that appeared in his mind.
"So this is the Demon Emperor Sword Art. As expected of a low-level Heaven Level Battle Skill. It's a pity that it's only a low-level Heaven Level Battle Skill and not a high-level one."
When the stream of information completely disappeared, Long Chen already had a rough understanding of the Demon Emperor Sword Art. The Demon Emperor Sword Art consisted of three moves. One of them couldn't actually be considered the true Demon Emperor Sword Art, because that move only required the energy within the Demon Emperor Sword to be combined with one's own Qi. Long Chen could use it now, and he could play with many tricks.
Long Chen was very familiar with the name of this move. It was the Demon Emperor Sword Qi. Lin Zichen had once used the Demon Emperor Sword Qi to force Long Chen into a dead end. The Demon Emperor Sword and the Demon Emperor Sword were indeed a pair. Even this move felt exactly the same.
As for the other two moves, they required a lot of practice and practice before they could be truly used. These two sword moves were earth-shattering sword moves. If Long Chen could successfully practice them, his strength would definitely rise to another level.
"So this is the Demon Emperor Sword Art. It's only so-so. It's not even better than mine."
After seeing it, Lingxi rolled her eyes. However, she had to admit that this was the most suitable sword skill for Long Chen.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to compare himself with Lingxi, who had an abnormal background. He was already very satisfied to be able to obtain a Heaven Level Battle Skill in the Cangyang Country. Now, he had three Heaven Level Battle Skills: Attack, Movement, and Divine Ability. He also had the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon's various super heaven-defying Divine Ability and the Spirit Devouring Demon Pupil that Li Xuanji had imparted to him. With such a foundation, he had the strength and foundation to compete with the top experts in the Cangyang Country.
In terms of Battle Skills, Body Refinement, Defense, and Life Battle Skills were all things that could only be encountered and not sought. Therefore, Long Chen didn't think too much about it. He believed that as long as he had strength, he would have everything.
Feeling the powerful power of the Demon Emperor Sword in his hand, Long Chen's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Lin Zichen, Royal Family, it's time for me, Long Chen, to return to Bi Yang Imperial City and give you the biggest surprise …" Raging hatred rose in Long Chen's heart.
Currently, they were still in the strange Qiankun World of the Demon Emperor Sword. Long Chen had received a message that if he used the Demon Emperor Sword to split open this space, he would be able to leave with Murong Yu.
"Xiaoxi, let's go out. As long as I successfully practice the Demon Emperor Sword Art, we will immediately return to Bi Yang Imperial City. I will definitely snatch the Nine Heavens Immortal Spirit Fruit for you," Long Chen said confidently.
"Yes, yes. Chen is the best. Xiaoxi believes in you." Lingxi also laughed. However, the layer of worry in her heart was getting heavier and heavier.
"If Chen knew that if I recovered my physical body, it would mean that we were about to be separated. Would he still be so desperate to find the Royal Family and the Nine Heavens Immortal Spirit Fruit …?"
Lingxi's heart was in a mess.
At that moment, Lingxi suddenly heard a shriek, which instantly woke her up from her contemplation. Long Chen naturally heard it too. The one who had shrieked was Murong Yu. Long Chen was shocked. He hurriedly put away the Demon Emperor Sword and rushed to Murong Yu's side without saying a word. Murong Yu had already woken up from her coma. However, even an outsider like Long Chen could see that she was currently in a state of extreme pain.
Murong Yu was curled up. Cold sweat kept pouring out of her body, soaking her clothes. Her face was extremely pale. It was obvious that she was enduring with all her might. However, the extreme pain still made her let out suppressed shrieks.
Seeing such a girl suddenly rolling around at his feet, Long Chen was shocked. He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Murong Yu, what's going on with you?"
What answered him was Murong Yu's shrieks. Long Chen was completely flustered. He wanted to help Murong Yu up but was pushed away. His actions would only deepen Murong Yu's pain.
"How could this be …?" Long Chen felt his throat dry up. He had a feeling that Murong Yu was in this state because of him.
"Chen, let me take a look."
At this time, Lingxi came out from Lingxi's sword. Seeing Long Chen's expression, she also couldn't hide it. Regarding Murong Yu, she was closer to Long Chen. Moreover, it seemed that she was reluctant to part with Long Chen. This made Lingxi feel a little uncomfortable in her heart. However, she had to admit that Murong Yu had indeed helped Long Chen a lot. Especially at that time, if it wasn't for Murong Yu, Dongfang Xuanxiao would have died.
Lingxi had seen a lot of things. She used the power of her soul to investigate Murong Yu's body. In an instant, she found something strange. Her face suddenly showed an angry expression. She said, "It's actually the Profound Yin Goblet. Who is so vicious to use the Profound Yin Goblet on her?"
"Profound Yin Goblet. Little Xi, what can you do? Quickly save her."
Long Chen also didn't know what the Profound Yin Goblet was, so at this time, he could only place his hopes on Lingxi.
"The Profound Yin Goblet is controlled by an ancient incantation. This incantation is actually the power of spiritual fluctuations. Let me see if I can simulate this incantation and draw the Profound Yin Goblet out."
After saying this, Lingxi's small body quickly moved towards Murong Yu's left chest. This was where the heart was.
Long Chen quickly guessed that the reason Murong Yu was in so much pain was very likely because the Profound Yin Goblet was gnawing at Murong Yu's heart.
Ten thousand insects gnawing at the heart, this method was really vicious.
