As time went by, Long Chen gradually immersed himself in the punching skill of the Earth Martial Arts Boxing Manual. He actually forgot about the stele. The punching skill of the fourth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm was even more mysterious. Long Chen naturally couldn't comprehend it in a short time. After practicing for a while, he felt that there were many difficulties that needed to be overcome, so he didn't think too much and directly stopped the punching skill in his hands.
In this way, half an hour had passed.
On the way Long Chen stopped, he had already opened his eyes. At the first moment, he looked at the stele. At this moment, he found that the stele seemed to be a little strange.
Long Chen had already stopped, but his shadow on the stele still hadn't stopped. It was still practicing. What it was practicing was completely different from what Long Chen was doing.
This didn't seem to be a punching skill, but a kind of mudra. The moonlight gently poured down from the top of Long Chen's head onto the stele. The stele gradually had a kind of dark yellow light, and then it turned into a bright yellow. The shadow on the stele was still practicing a kind of strange mudra.
"This is …" Long Chen was shocked, but he quickly reacted. He should have already found the secret of the stele while he was in a daze. Therefore, he immediately stabilized his mind and carefully looked at the shadow on the stele.
Just by looking at it, he was already completely attracted. His whole mind was completely immersed in the movements of the shadow on the stele. His brain subconsciously tried to remember these mudra. Following the movements of the shadow, his whole body also became absent-minded.
This kind of absent-mindedness, it was as if his whole body had been sucked into the stele.
As time went by, a faint yellow light also appeared on Long Chen's body.
The shadow on the stele was constantly practicing a set of mudra. After this set of mudra ended, it immediately started again. From the beginning, Long Chen had watched it from beginning to end more than ten times. He had already deeply remembered those movements.
However, these simple movements didn't mean that Long Chen had already learned this kind of fighting skill. Right now, he only had the form, but the spirit of the fighting skill was still lacking.
Long Chen's whole body was already immersed in the mudra of the stele.
In a trance, Long Chen felt that his body had moved to another place. He suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was standing in a barren land. All around him was a dead silence. There was not even a blade of grass in the Ninth Secluded Soul Land. It was a dead silence. However, compared to the dead silence in front of Long Chen, it was a lot worse.
There was fine gray sand and dark clouds that almost reached his head. A cold wind blew in the surroundings, and a deathly aura filled the air. Long Chen could smell the rotting corpses of many animals and plants.
This putrid stench of decay permeated the entire world, and the aura of death filled the entire place.
"Where is this?"
This question had just appeared in Long Chen's mind. He remembered that he seemed to be cultivating the mudra on the stele. How did he suddenly come to this place?
Thinking of this, Long Chen was a little shocked. This barren land, the gray Qi of death in the surroundings, permeated his body. He actually felt a numbing pain on his skin. Looking down, he saw that his skin was actually rotting. It first lost its luster, then turned gray, and then rapidly rotted.
This kind of pain simply made Long Chen have an impulse to die.
"What is this place? Why is it so terrifying?"
Long Chen was shocked. He immediately used his fastest speed, wanting to escape from this place. His speed was indeed very fast. The pain on his body wasn't enough to stop him, because he knew that if he stopped, he might die in this terrifying barren land.
Finally, Long Chen saw an oasis in front of the gray land. This oasis wasn't big, but it was filled with lush grass. There were also cattle, sheep, and other creatures shuttling back and forth. There were also small bridges, flowing water, and houses.
"This place is filled with Death Qi, but there's actually such an oasis." Long Chen had a strange feeling in his heart.
This place was really too strange. Long Chen even felt like he was living in a dream.
He didn't know how he suddenly appeared here. Long Chen was anxious to know where he was, so he quickly walked towards the oasis.
Just as he was about to approach, there was suddenly a roar in the sky. The thick black clouds were shaken. In front of Long Chen's eyes, a huge gray palm covered the sky and the sun. It was surrounded by endless gray Death Qi. With a loud bang, it smashed on the oasis and quickly retracted.
After the clouds calmed down again, Long Chen was stunned. The oasis in front of him had turned into a barren land. It was exactly the same as other places. The oasis from before, under the corrosion of the gray Death Qi, didn't leave the slightest trace.
The gray Death Qi was still circling here, and it still hadn't left.
In Long Chen's mind, he was still recalling the huge gray palm from before. His eyes were already lifeless. In the beginning, he was shocked by the terror of the gray palm. There were dry cracks on the palm and it looked quite ugly. However, Long Chen didn't care about the unsightly appearance of the palm. Instead, he cared about the charm of the palm.
"Previously, I was practicing the Battle Skill of Sorrow. Then, I suddenly came here, and that hand seal just now …" There was definitely a connection between the two. Long Chen quickly understood the crux of the matter. Everything was related to the gray arm from before.
"So, that palm full of Death Qi just now is the Battle Skill that I want to obtain?"
Long Chen's mind quickly became clear. He carefully felt the palm just now. Suddenly, a kind of understanding appeared in his heart.
"So, this is the Divine Desolation Seal."
After thinking about this, Long Chen found that he was still standing in front of the stone tablet. At this time, the moonlight had completely faded, and the figure on the stone tablet had disappeared, returning to its original ordinary appearance. The surroundings became quiet, and only the birds and demonic beasts in the sky did not dare to land on Sky Island still screamed.
This was not something that Long Chen needed to care about.
In his mind, he carefully recalled the essence of the Divine Desolation Seal. This name was only known to Long Chen after he obtained the Divine Desolation Seal. This Divine Desolation Seal was not the same as the Divine Yellow Martial Seal that Zhao Danchen had used before. It could even be said that it was worlds apart. The Divine Yellow Martial Seal was only a Medium King Level Battle Skill, while the Divine Desolation Seal was an Advanced King Level Battle Skill. Moreover, it was known as the strongest Advanced King Level Battle Skill.
At the very least, it should be much stronger than the Martial Emperor Seal.
Even if it was a battle skill of the same level, such as an advanced king level battle skill, the gap between them was still quite large. Just take the Windgod's Kick for example. Among the three moves, the Wild Wind Form, the Windstorm Form, and the Divine Wind Form were all intermediate king level battle skills. However, the difference between the Wild Wind Form and the Divine Wind Form was not just a little big.
Based on the terrifying scene of the Desolate Sound, Long Chen roughly knew how terrifying the Divine Yellow Martial Seal was.
"The Divine Desolation Seal, also known as the Death Seal, uses the Death Qi to attack people, and can exert 200% of the effect …" As he flipped through the form of the Desolate Sound in his memory, Long Chen silently became listless.
From that unknown space, Long Chen saw the huge palm above his head drown out the entire oasis. While he was shocked, he also felt the charm of the Divine Desolation Seal and how great his power was.
With the help of that palm, Long Chen felt that the speed of his comprehension had increased a lot. Coincidentally, the Sun-Devouring Direwolf was refining the Yao Core at this moment, and Kitten was helping Huangfu Qi. Long Chen was very bored, so he began to study the Divine Yellow Martial Seal's battle skill in front of the stone tablet.
The more he studied, the more frightened he became. He thought to himself, "This Divine Yellow Martial Seal is actually similar to Xiao Lang's Nine Netherworld Demonic Ancestral Flame. It can corrode the body of others during an attack, and even instill Death Qi into the enemy's body. Not only is it powerful, but it's also somewhat vicious. If you're hit by this Divine Yellow Martial Seal, there's basically no chance of survival. No wonder it's called the strongest battle skill among the Kings."
Although it was vicious, Long Chen had always been vicious to his enemies. This was not in conflict with him. Thinking of this, Long Chen was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't thought that he would be able to obtain such a good battle skill before obtaining the Five Emperor Seals. With this battle skill and the help of the Sun-Devouring Direwolf, Long Chen believed that his chances of obtaining the Ancient Tomb Token would increase a lot.
The Ancient Tomb Token was the key to Long Chen's success.
"Zhao Danchen, do you think that you're invincible after obtaining the Martial Emperor Seal? You'll definitely want to fight me in the future to avenge yourself, but do you know that I've obtained the Divine Desolation Seal, which is even more powerful than your Martial Emperor Seal?
The Soul-dispersing Dragon Claw and Wind-god's Kick were not extremely powerful battle skills, but the power of the Divine Desolation Seal contained poison and Death Qi. In addition, it was not inferior to the power of a Martial Emperor Seal. In Long Chen's hands, the Divine Desolation Seal would definitely amaze everyone. At that time, Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan would be dumbfounded.
Thinking of this, Long Chen became even more enthusiastic about cultivating the Divine Desolation Seal.
He stayed on Sky Island and immersed himself in cultivating the Divine Desolation Seal day after day, forgetting to eat and sleep. Kitten had already finished his work and was only waiting for Huangfu Qi to recover in the blood of the Divine Phoenix. As for the Sun Devouring Direwolf, it was also in the process of refining the Divine Phoenix's Monster Core. Because the Divine Phoenix had a trace of the Phoenix's bloodline, its Monster Core was much more useful to the Sun Devouring Direwolf than the Monster Core of an ordinary level-four or even level-five King Monster Core.
"Maybe this time, Xiao Lang can directly advance to level-four King Monster," Long Chen thought happily.
