A space of astral qi was formed around him. In this space, no one could get close to Long Chen. After all, the astral qi was too terrifying.
Long Chen's entire body was bathed in the Astral Energy. Although the Astral Energy was terrifying, Long Chen was familiar with the method of guiding the Astral Energy in the Seven Glorious Stars Art. He could let the Astral Energy enter his body bit by bit.
The most important thing was the blue heart-shaped stone that Long Chen had obtained from the ancient tomb in the starry sky. At this time, Long Chen took this blue stone out of the Great Void Realm.
"This thing is the core of a huge meteorite. The core is the foundation of every star. If I don't have this core in my body, I won't be able to successfully cultivate the Seven Glorious Stars Art. This core is the real key. The first thing I need to do is to integrate the core into my heart."
In Long Chen's hand, the blue Astral River was floating. This core was actually the heart of the entire planet. Long Chen had integrated it into his body. At this time, he was integrating it into his heart, turning his body into a small planet. This way, he could accommodate the power of the stars and use the Astral Energy to forge his body. Long Chen was using this Astral River to further control the Astral Energy.
Precise control of the Astral Energy was the key to whether Long Chen could forge his body with the Astral Energy.
At this time, in the palm of his hand, the Seven Glorious Stars Qi gushed out. It was like a stream of water, completely enveloping the blue Astral River. The blue Astral River was swimming on the Qi. Rays of deep blue light were emitted from the runes on the surface of the Astral River.
Under the illumination of the runes, Long Chen's face flickered with a blue fluorescence.
"This should be enough."
The Seven Glorious Stars Qi came from Long Chen's body. Long Chen could take it back at any time. At this time, under the cover of Long Chen's Seven Glorious Stars Qi, the blue Astral River began to melt. Soon, it completely melted into Long Chen's Seven Glorious Stars Qi. Only the deep blue runes remained. They surged in Long Chen's Qi like a small boat in the sea.
"It's time."
Long Chen calmed his mind, and then slowly moved the Seven Glorious Stars True Essence in his hand towards his heart. When it touched his heart, the True Essence actually turned into a liquid that gradually melted into Long Chen's body.
Long Chen suddenly felt a scorching energy fusing into his body. After the blue energy fused into his body, it quickly rushed towards Long Chen's heart. Soon, the blue energy completely surrounded Long Chen's heart.
"Is the Astral River starting to fuse with my heart?"
Long Chen waited expectantly. He could see that the runes on the Astral River had already attached themselves to Long Chen's heart. The blue energy followed the runes and gradually fused with Long Chen's beating heart. As time passed, Long Chen's heart gradually turned blue. This made his heart look like the original stone.
Long Chen felt a powerful energy flow into his body. This was a scorching and vast energy. It was similar to Long Chen's understanding of the power of stars.
In fact, under the corrosion of the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon's bloodline, Long Chen's body and even his bones had completely turned blood-red. At this moment, only his heart had turned blue. It was like the brightest star in the night sky.
The fusion of the Astral River and Long Chen's heart made Long Chen feel as if he already had the power to control the stars. At this moment, the billions of stars above his head were incomparably clear in his heart. At this moment, Long Chen also felt as if he was one of them.
The Astral River had almost turned him into a human-shaped planet.
"Next, I will use the power of the Astral River to attract the astral energy in the sky and slowly train my body.
The fusion of the Astral River was not dangerous. In fact, it was very smooth. The dark blue runes had already attached themselves to Long Chen's heart, providing Long Chen with a steady stream of star energy.
This power allowed Long Chen to have some control over the stars in the sky.
At this moment, he was preparing to start absorbing the astral energy. Unexpectedly, as soon as he used the power of the astral core, a change actually occurred in his body. As his heart beat, his dark red blood surged throughout his body and then returned to his heart. In his endless blood vessels, a dense blood-red dragon shadow actually appeared at this moment. It was as if millions of blood-red divine dragons were advancing towards his heart at the same time.
This was a rebellion that belonged to the bloodline.
The bloodline of the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon was extremely powerful. How could it let a mere Seven Brilliance Star Lord inherit it? The tiny Astral River occupied the most important part of the bloodline, the heart.
Hence, in Long Chen's body, the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon's bloodline was enraged. Countless blood-red dragons surged towards his heart at the same time. Suddenly, Long Chen felt his blood boil.
The countless blood-red dragons rushed into his heart in an instant. Before Long Chen could react, the blood-red dragons had all fused into his heart. Immediately, countless dragon inscriptions appeared on his heart. The originally blue heart completely turned blood-red after being covered by these blood-red dragon inscriptions.
The mysterious runes that had originally belonged to the Astral River still existed, but they had been completely dyed blood-red by the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon.
Long Chen could sense that the power of the Astral River that had originally belonged to the Astral River still existed. In fact, with the support of the blood-red power, it was even more powerful than before. However, what made people speechless was that no one could see the power of the Astral River in Long Chen's body.
This scene was similar to when the remnant soul of the Golden Crow had entered Long Chen's body. The originally golden Golden Crow Fire had turned red. Under the control of the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon's bloodline, Long Chen's body could only have one color: blood-red. Both the Golden Crow Fire and the Astral River had been completely covered in blood-red in the end.
This was just a small interlude. It didn't affect Long Chen's ability to attract the Astral Gang Qi in the sky. After the transformation of his body was complete, Long Chen didn't think too much about it. He directly attracted the power of the Astral River, using the Seven Glorious Stars Real Essence as a guide to attract the Astral Gang Qi in the sky.
Under the control of the Astral River, Long Chen's perception spread across the starry sky, extending to the distant stars. The Astral Gang Qi was a kind of dark purple gas that surrounded the surface of the stars. This gas had a terrifying lethality. Similar to the gold-devouring gas, it looked like it was composed of countless densely packed small blades that could move freely. When an ordinary person encountered this Astral Gang Qi, it was roughly the same as encountering the gold-devouring gas. The end result was inevitable death.
Whether or not he could attract the Astral Gang Qi required a very long period of time. Therefore, Long Chen didn't succeed at the beginning. There were countless stars in the sky. The only thing Long Chen could do was to try again and again. This was not a simple matter.
According to the description of the Seven Glorious Stars Body, it actually took several days to successfully attract the Astral Gang Qi. However, Long Chen's situation was a bit special. His martial spirit was in the form of a dragon, not a human. Martial spirits and perception had a great relationship. This also meant that Long Chen's ability to communicate with the Astral Gang Qi was also different from ordinary people.
After about four hours, Long Chen had already attracted a trace of the Astral Gang Qi towards his direction. This Astral Gang Qi was very little, but after all, it had already started. This speed was much faster than what was described in the Seven Glorious Stars Body Art. This trace of Astral Gang Qi was not much. It wasn't even enough to surround Long Chen. Long Chen carefully moved it from the endless void to his eyes. He opened his eyes and looked at the trace of purple gas in front of him.
This purple gas, under the control of Long Chen, was still constantly changing its shape in front of him. It was as if this gas had intelligence. At this moment, it was constantly twisting and changing into birds, beasts, and even fish, prawns, and monsters in the rivers and lakes. Each of these forms was full of malevolence. Looking at Long Chen, it was as if Long Chen, who was controlling its body, was its enemy.
"The Boundless World is really mysterious. Even this Astral Gang Qi seems to have its own consciousness …" Long Chen sighed to himself.
In fact, there were only two tricks to cultivating the Seven Glorious Stars Body. Long Chen had already reached such a high place and successfully fused with the star core. Now, he only needed to do two things to complete the Seven Glorious Stars Body.
The first was control. He needed to precisely control the Astral Gang Qi so that it could train his muscles, bones, blood vessels, and organs without harming himself. This would strengthen every part of his body. The second was patience. Those who could cultivate the Seven Glorious Stars Body would definitely have astonishing willpower. As long as they endured the torture of the Astral Gang Qi time and time again and forged their bodies through the torture, they would be able to succeed.
Throughout history, there had actually been many people who had obtained the Seven Glorious Stars Body. The Seven Glorious Star Lord was not the creator of this cultivation method, but most people had suffered too much torture to cultivate this cultivation method. As a result, they ultimately failed in the end. Even if they succeeded, they had to endure it again and again, wasting a lot of time.
Long Chen didn't have much confidence either.
