It was like the birth of the nine suns. The outer eight were actually the remnant souls of the Golden Crow, while the center was the sun. The position of the First Heaven's Orifice was similar to the sun in the center.
Long Chen sucked in a deep breath under everyone's concerned gazes. He had a feeling that the birth of the nine suns would begin soon. At this moment, everything was silent. Long Chen held the Emperor Flame Pearl in his hand and raised his head. He silently observed the movements of the sun in the sky.
"It's beginning." Long Chen's heart skipped a beat.
As expected, the sun in the sky trembled visibly at this moment. The crisp cries of birds pierced through the surroundings. It seemed distant, yet it also seemed like it was right beside him. In Long Chen's vision, a total of eight figures of birds emerged from the sun. Afterwards, they circled around the sun in a circle. The eight figures of birds turned into blazing suns very quickly. They seemed exactly the same as the sun in the center.
A total of nine suns appeared in the sky. The figure of a golden bird appeared in each of the suns.
This was the Golden Crow.
Watching this scene, Long Chen felt a sense of awe.
This was a true expert.
The remnant souls it had left behind remained in the suns. One day in the future, they would appear like this.
The nine suns hung in the center of the sky just like that.
Millions of people in the entire Wushu Sage Empire watched this wondrous sight.
In the beginning, it was wondrous and spectacular, but it soon became scorching hot. Every single sun gave off roaring waves of heat that swept towards the world below. Long Chen immediately felt extremely hot. The air seemed to be filled with fire.
Although it was not burning, Long Chen still felt like he was in the midst of roaring flames. Every inch of his skin was being scorched by the scorching sun.
Most likely, those who weren't as strong as Long Chen in the outside world would have to suffer even more.
Of course, everyone knew about the birth of the nine suns long ago, so it was normal to take precautions. Perhaps the final outcome would not be as bad as Long Chen had imagined.
"How magical."
Seeing the nine suns appear and hang high in the sky, Xiao Lang stared in a daze. He subconsciously straightened his four legs and revealed a daring and greedy look. This was a kind of lawless greed that came from the nature of the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf, not Xiao Lang.
However, what was certain was that the scorching sun in the sky, especially the nine great scorching suns, was what Xiao Lang had dreamed of the most.
However, because of the nine orifices and the Emperor Flame Bead, the main character today was Long Chen.
The birth of the nine suns had already taken shape. Long Chen reckoned that the effects of the Emperor Flame Bead were about to be activated. As expected, he realized that the originally silent Emperor Flame Bead was emitting a shocking amount of heat. The Emperor Flame Bead floated from Long Chen's palm and hovered above Long Chen's head.
The Emperor Flame Bead revolved rapidly. Long Chen muttered silently as he watched the Emperor Flame Bead revolve. He calmed himself down. Using this method to break through to the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven State wasn't absolutely safe, so he had to be careful.
The others were also watching the Emperor Flame Bead revolve nervously.
At that moment, a blazing sun had already reached the top of the Emperor Flame Bead. Just then, the Emperor Flame Bead let out a soft cry. Then, Long Chen was shocked to see a thin golden line appear on each of the scorching suns in the sky. They cut through the space and reached the top of Long Chen's head in an instant.
It was unknown how high up in the sky, it was a thin golden line. However, when it reached the top of Long Chen's head, it had already turned into a golden flame pillar.
The reason why Long Yue said that Long Chen would cause such a huge commotion today was because of this reason. At that moment, the people outside the Lianyun Mountain Range could see that nine blazing golden flame pillars had descended from the sky and landed on the Lianyun Mountain Range.
These nine golden flame pillars were actually the eruption of the nine suns in the sky.
The nine huge flame pillars quickly descended on the top of Long Chen's head. At that moment, Long Chen had already lost consciousness. He felt that his body had already floated up and was lying flat in the air. All he could see were golden flames.
Rumble.
What was shocking was that when the incomparably huge flame pillars smashed onto the top of Long Chen's head, they actually all shrank. Countless golden flames all pierced through the small Emperor Flame Bead, as if they were being sucked in by the Emperor Flame Bead.
At that moment, the Emperor Flame Bead suddenly split into nine. Each golden flame pillar corresponded to an Emperor Flame Bead, and the order of the Emperor Flame Bead was like the sun in the sky.
From Long Chen's current point of view, the nine Emperor Flame Beads were nine small golden suns that were right in front of him. And behind the small golden suns was the real blazing sun in the sky.
The nine Emperor Flame Beads and the nine blazing suns corresponded completely.
"Long Chen, pay attention. It's starting." At that moment, Kitten said.
Kitten's words made Long Chen sober up quite a bit.
An invisible force caused Long Chen's True Qi to float in the air.
At that moment, one of the nine Emperor Flame Beads, carrying the power of the golden flame pillars, began to slowly descend towards Long Chen's body. The place where it landed was Long Chen's dantian. This was the location of the Dantian acupoint, which was also the first acupoint in his entire body.
Whoosh.
Long Chen watched as the Emperor Flame Bead entered his body, reached his dantian, and fused with it. That golden power surged into Long Chen's body and flowed along the 18 Star Rivers in Long Chen's body. When it reached his limbs and bones, Long Chen was shocked to discover that although this golden power was burning with flames, it wasn't as terrifying as it seemed on the surface. Instead, it was gentle, nourishing, and didn't have any attributes. It was just like the power that Long Chen had obtained from consuming the Evolution Fruit a long, long time ago.
He was shocked to discover that, under the nourishment of this golden power, the injuries that he had suffered previously were rapidly healing. This power had a restorative effect. Most importantly, after Long Chen had undergone the three blood sacrifices, his foundation had recovered. If this was the case after fusing with one Emperor Flame Bead, one could imagine what would happen in the end.
When the first Emperor Flame Bead completely fused with Long Chen's dantian acupoint, the second Emperor Flame Bead descended. It was like a liquid that fell into Long Chen's middle acupoint. Even more power surged into Long Chen's body.
The endless power of the nine suns in the sky was still connected to the Emperor Flame Bead. When the Emperor Flame Bead fused with Long Chen's acupoint, the power of the nine suns was directly connected to Long Chen's body.
Comfortable, extremely comfortable. Long Chen felt as though he was bathing in hot water during the winter when he was young. His entire body felt comfortable. Not only did the golden power restore his foundation, but it also left an imprint on his body and strengthened it.
"The third one …" The third Emperor Flame Bead fused with the sole of his left foot.
Time passed slowly, but the strange things happening in the Lian Yun Mountain Range continued.
Long Chen had already opened the first three acupoints. The last four acupoints had indeed been sealed due to the blood sacrifice. However, this didn't pose any obstacles to the fusion of the Emperor Flame Bead. With the fusion of the Emperor Flame Bead, the acupoints quickly reopened. The golden power surged into the acupoints and fused with the power of the 18 Star Rivers.
In the blink of an eye, seven acupoints had already fused with the Emperor Flame Bead. Just then, the fusion of the eighth acupoint began. The fusion of the seventh acupoint made Long Chen tremble with fear, because the seventh acupoint was the Earthly Yang Acupoint, which was located in the brain, the most vulnerable area.
Without a doubt, the fusion of the eighth acupoint was successful. In the sky, among the nine suns, the eight fake suns, which were the remnant souls of the Golden Crow, were directly connected to Long Chen's body. The golden power was the channel through which they were connected …
"Only the First Heaven Acupoint is left. Once the First Heaven Acupoint is successful, I'll make my move …" Kitten muttered to himself.
Just as Kitten had this thought, the Emperor Flame Bead in the center moved. Long Chen looked at the Emperor Flame Bead nervously, because he had a premonition that the Emperor Flame Bead was heading in the direction of his First Heaven Acupoint.
Kitten's move was the most crucial moment of the day, and now was the second most crucial moment.
As long as the First Heaven Acupoint was completed, Long Chen would basically be in the ninth tier of the Reaching Heaven Realm.
Long Chen was a little nervous, and so were the other two. Lan Ling 'er had been watching nervously from the beginning. The golden flame pillar was really terrifying. If it were her, she would not dare to use the Emperor Flame Bead to increase her strength at such a crucial moment.
Of course, since she was already in the Earth Martial Arts Realm, she did not need the Emperor Flame Bead anymore.
Jian Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the position of Long Chen's First Heaven Acupoint.
Generally speaking, the position of the First Heaven Acupoint was closely related to a person's talent for cultivation. Generally speaking, the more important the position, the more talented a person was. Normally, the First Heaven Acupoint would be in the body. There were weak and strong positions in the body, but the strongest position was the heart.
If the First Heaven Acupoint was in the limbs, then the person's talent for cultivation would undoubtedly be very poor.
The best geniuses had the First Heaven Acupoint between the eyebrows in the brain, forming a triangle with the Earthly Yang Acupoint and Earthly Yin Acupoint. Jian Chen had heard that there were not many people who had the First Heaven Acupoint in the brain. The legendary Martial Emperor of the Wushu Alliance was such a person.
Long Chen's performance was very heaven-defying, so Jian Chen also wanted to know where his First Heaven Acupoint was.
At this moment, Jian Chen's expression changed.
"Ling 'er, someone is coming. Prepare to fight and protect Long Chen with your life."
