An expert of the Earth Martial Arts Realm.
Although it was only the first level, Long Chen didn't dare to be careless.
He felt the strength in his body as he stared at the Eagle Martial King. When his opponent made a move, he would make his move. He didn't dare to make the first move because he wasn't confident.
What would it be like when a real expert of the Earth Martial Arts Realm fought?
Long Chen had the Zhenwu Demonic Body and the Phantom Doppelganger at the King Level. He estimated that his opponent should have practiced one or two King Level Combat Skills at most. Moreover, in terms of the quantity of Genuine Qi, Long Chen definitely surpassed his opponent's Genuine Essence.
However, the Martial Realm actually had other things.
Long Chen had also seen their attacks. It seemed that every time they threw a punch, all of their power was under their control and concentrated on a single point. Their attacks seemed simple, but they actually contained a powerful attack that far surpassed that of the Reaching Heaven State.
Whoosh.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't move, the Eagle Martial King lost his patience. A cold light flashed in his eyes and his body instantly turned into a shadow. He swept forward and in the next moment, he was already in front of Long Chen.
"His speed … is really fast, but his movements are as if he hadn't practiced Genuine Qi and hadn't reached the Dragon Vein Realm …" Long Chen carefully observed the Eagle Martial King's movements.
These thoughts flashed quickly in his mind.
"Not only do I feel that all the strength in his body is concentrated in his body, I even feel that he is connected with the earth. Every time he steps on the ground, there is an agitation. He can hit the earth and absorb the power of the earth. Is the Earth Martial Arts Realm related to the earth?"
Long Chen remembered that when he was in the Spirit Stream, he had once seen Long Yue punching. At that time, he suddenly felt that Long Yue seemed to have fused with the earth, and every punch of hers was following the pulse of the earth, like a huge wave, one wave after another, each wave more turbulent than the last.
"A simple fist technique, an earth-shattering attack. After experiencing the fancy of the four Basic Realms, the so-called Martial Realm is likely to return to its original state, just like the close combat before reaching the Dragon Vein Realm. It seems that the Martial Realm has a very high requirement for close combat. Only in the excitement of life and death can one comprehend the power of the Martial Realm."
Many thoughts flashed through Long Chen's mind as he watched the Eagle Martial King display the technique.
"I'll show you what a Martial Realm is."
After approaching Long Chen, the Eagle Martial King sneered and punched out. He did not use any battle skills. It was just a single punch. Although it seemed simple, it actually seemed to cause the pulse of the earth. Long Chen could already sense the earth before him being overturned and pressed down on him.
After taking a deep breath, Long Chen also let out a roar and punched out.
Of course, he was only at the ninth level of the Heaven Ascension Realm. The amount of True Qi he was using had already surpassed that of the Eagle Martial King.
Long Chen was shocked to discover that when he punched out, the outline of the Golden Crow in the Nine Apertures appeared in his mind. He subconsciously used this kind of power, and then he discovered that when he punched out, a blood-red flame appeared on his fist. It burned fiercely and instantly collided with the Eagle Martial King.
Boom.
It was blasted apart.
Long Chen's face was filled with shock. The Eagle Martial King's punch made him feel the heaviness of the Earth Martial Realm. Even though Long Chen had a King level body refining battle skill and the strength of the Dragon Soul transformation, his arm still felt numb and trembling, as if he had lost his senses. He hurriedly removed the force, but he was still knocked back dozens of steps.
Of course, the Eagle Martial King did not have it easy either. He was not knocked back by Long Chen's power, but by himself. Long Chen raised his head and saw that half of his fist had already been charred black. At the moment, it was giving off hot smoke. The Eagle Martial King's entire face was twisted, showing how much pain he was in.
In this confrontation, the Eagle Martial King's strength was clearly much greater. If he had not withdrawn his strength at the end because of the pain, the pain in Long Chen's arm would definitely have been even more severe.
"This, could this be the power of the Golden Crow's remnant soul?"
Long Chen finally understood. The Golden Crow's remnant soul was entrenched in his nine apertures and had become the core of his power. When Long Chen used his True Qi, the power of the Golden Crow's remnant soul would fuse into his True Qi and attack, giving Long Chen's attack an extremely strong additional flame ability.
Just like just now, Long Chen's True Qi, which was comparable to the Earth Martial Realm, could only barely block the Eagle Martial King's attack. However, the power of the Golden Crow's remnant soul had injured the Eagle Martial King.
"With the power of the Golden Crow's remnant soul, it is possible that this power will accompany my attacks for a very long period of time. This is a rather wonderful addition. Even when using sword techniques, I can use the power of the Golden Crow's remnant soul."
Long Chen was in a good mood.
He had to admit that if the power of the Golden Crow's remnant soul was used well, it would be quite terrifying.
For example, the Dragon Soul Transformation could allow Long Chen to have ten times the attribute of True Qi. However, this did indeed grow with Long Chen's growth. When Long Chen became a super expert and had ten times the attribute, how monstrous would that be?
Long Chen did not believe that the Golden Crow's remnant soul only had this little power. It was very likely that the power of the Golden Crow's remnant soul would be as much as his True Qi.
Therefore, the power of the Golden Crow's remnant soul was very likely to be like the magical power of the Dragon Soul Transformation, accompanying Long Chen for the rest of his life.
"Your true energy, how can it have such a scorching attribute? Impossible, what you've absorbed is pure, non-elemental energy, how can you have such a scorching power?" Eagle Martial King's face was filled with disbelief.
Of course, he did not know that in the Great Void Realm in Long Chen's chest, there would be a legendary Reincarnation Divine Beast that would help him obtain the remnant soul of the Golden Crow.
The Eagle Martial King was not the only one shocked. Jian Chen and the others had been paying attention to Long Chen's movements at all times. When they saw that Long Chen had actually chosen to clash with the Eagle Martial King, they frowned. However, when they saw the result, they still struggled to believe it.
However, he and Lan Ling 'er heaved a sigh of relief.
"Ling 'er, quickly finish off your opponent."
Jian Chen took a deep breath before unleashing a torrent of attacks at his opponent. A single Martial King was definitely not Jian Chen's opponent.
"Old Eagle, what're you standing there for? Hurry up and do it. I can't last much longer," the Martial King roared at the Eagle Martial King.
Eagle Martial King calmed down and finally saw Long Chen as an opponent he had to take seriously.
"Brat, you really are strange," said the Eagle Martial King.
The Eagle Martial King said. In the next instant, his entire body was like a majestic eagle as he swooped down on Long Chen's head. With a whistling sound, Long Chen suddenly realized that the entire sky was filled with the Eagle Martial King's iron claws.
He had never thought that the Eagle Martial King would actually possess a claw technique.
The battle skill should not have been a King Level Battle Skill. However, it was still rather terrifying when used by an expert of the Earth Martial Realm. Just a simple punch from the Eagle Martial King was so powerful, let alone the claw imprints that filled the sky.
"He's fast and powerful."
That was Long Chen's impression of the Eagle Martial King. He did not dare to underestimate these claw techniques at all. To him, if it was a battle skill like the Heaven-punishing Sword Formation, it would obviously be extremely beautiful. However, in terms of actual power, it was not even as great as a casual punch from an expert of the Earth Martial Realm.
If the Heaven-punishing Sword Formation of the Heaven Ascension realm and the punch of the Earth Martial Realm landed on a huge mountain, the Heaven-punishing Sword Formation would be able to cut it black and blue, but the punch of the Earth Martial Realm would be able to shatter the entire mountain.
Long Chen finally experienced the power of the Martial Realm.
Why were they called the Three Great Martial Realms?
Because this was true martial arts.
Of course, the Heaven-punishing Sword Formation was different in the hands of Long Chen.
In Long Chen's body, no other ninth layer of the Heaven Ascension realm could match up to any of the advantages.
When the Eagle Martial King moved, Long Chen moved as well. He retreated as fast as he could, and at the same time, the blade in his hand exploded with strands of Sword Qi, attacking the Eagle Martial King. These strands of Sword Qi collided with the claw imprints of the Eagle Martial King.
Clap, clap, clap.
Long Chen's Sword Qi contained all the Genuine Qi in his body. With his current Genuine Qi, he would be able to kill several people in the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven State. However, under the simple but heavy attack of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, this kind of Sword Qi was still not enough. However, when the Sword Qi was actually burning with blood-red flames, everything was different.
The attacks of the Sword Qi and the claw imprints of the Eagle Martial King were abnormally fierce. The Eagle Martial King wanted to get close to Long Chen, but Long Chen did not let him get close, because he knew that if he let an expert of the Earth Martial Realm get close to him, he would definitely die without a burial place.
Every time he attacked, a long scar would be left behind. It was as if the space was being torn apart, and there was a series of explosions. It could be seen how powerful the Eagle Martial King's attacks were. However, he had just suffered from the remnant soul of the Golden Crow, so he did not dare to directly confront it.
The Eagle Martial King could only dodge and release his Genuine Qi to completely destroy Long Chen's Sword Qi. This time, Long Chen was completely exposed to his claws.
Just at this moment, a furious roar came from Jian Chen's side. The Eagle Martial King did not need to turn around to know that his partner had already been pushed to the limits by Jian Chen. In just a few seconds, he would be killed by Jian Chen.
"I didn't think Jian Chen would be so powerful. No, I have to kill this brat. I'll let him taste my strongest attack. Brother, hold on."
As long as he dealt with Long Chen, he could immediately turn around to help. It would be the same when the time came.
As long as Long Chen died, Jian Chen and the others would still be alive.
Huff …
The Eagle Martial King let out a deep breath that had condensed into a white mist. At this moment, his eyes exploded with a cold, sharp light. A vicious light flickered, and his bones made crackling sounds, causing Long Chen's scalp to tingle. Afterwards, the person before him seemed to have turned into a male eagle, approaching Long Chen in an instant.
"Soul-dispersing Eagle Claw."
