"What is this?"
Long Chen quickly shut down the True Martial Emperor Soul. If he didn't shut it down, he would be under too much pressure. After he shut it down, the golden lightning beast disappeared and everything returned to normal. The others were also obediently comprehending the cultivation method of the Nether Qi.
There was actually a small golden lightning beast inside the nether stone.
Although its body was small, its energy was very strong. It had an aura that looked down on the world.
"This should be a special kind of lightning, and it's the kind that has developed consciousness," Kitten suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Long Chen asked.
"In this world, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and so on, there will always be some strange things. For example, Little Wolf has always devoured flames, and those are not ordinary flames. This golden lightning beast is also one of them. It should be a very high level Soul-Chasing Hell Lightning. However, it has developed sentience. Normally, if a divine object that has developed sentience cannot be used, then it is quite terrifying. Take this golden lightning beast for example. If it was released at its peak, I reckon that the entire Specter City would have been razed to the ground by it. Now that it has been suppressed for countless years, I reckon that it is almost worn out. If you get close to this Netherworld Stone, I have a way to make you subdue it and make it work for you."
"Soul-Chasing Hell Lightning, this golden lightning beast can also be used by me."
Long Chen's eyes quickly widened. According to what Kitten said, this golden lightning beast should be quite powerful.
"With Lord Cat's ability, it's easy to catch this lightning beast. But the prerequisite is that you have to get close to this Nether Stone, and I don't know what kind of commotion it will cause."
"This is the territory of the Nether Army. If that's the case, it's a little troublesome."
It was daytime, and any phenomenon would be very obvious. Usually, there would be fewer people at night, and that was the best time to make a move. Many people who cultivated Nether Qi would not cultivate here every day. They would just come here for a period of time every day. After all, they had other things to do. There were actually not many people like Long Chen and Ye Xuan who came here to cultivate continuously.
"Brother Chen, why did you stop?" Next to him, Ye Xuan opened his eyes and asked with a forced smile.
"Take a break. I'll continue soon. Seems like I'll be faster than you." Long Chen smiled.
If news of him successfully cultivating Nether Qi in a dozen days were to spread, it would definitely become the biggest news in the entire Serene Nether Mansion. Long Chen didn't want to become the target of public criticism. Before he became stronger, it would be better for him to keep a low profile.
Therefore, he continued to sit here to wait for the arrival of the Nether Stone.
"Kitten, if I can get my hands on this little golden lightning beast, how will I improve?" This was the question that Long Chen was most concerned about.
"This little golden lightning beast is called the Soulchasing Hell Lightning. According to its rank, it should be a high-level Deity level treasure. Not to mention, it already has its own consciousness, and its strength has improved once again. Unfortunately, it has been suppressed for too long. Therefore, its power is almost depleted, and only a little bit of its essence is left."
"What can this little bit of essence do for me?" Long Chen asked.
"As long as you tame it, as long as it has enough power, you can release it to bite people. Moreover, it can use the power of lightning to refine your body, making it even stronger. At the same time, because of the Soulchasing Hell Lightning, your speed will be greatly improved. Since it's called the Soulchasing Hell Lightning, this little golden lightning beast is actually best at speed. Lightning has always been a symbol of speed. With the Soulchasing Hell Lightning in your body, your speed will far surpass that of an ordinary person. As for how far you can go, you'll have to experience it yourself."
These two benefits were undoubtedly very helpful to Long Chen.
Therefore, this little golden lightning beast was something that Long Chen had to get his hands on.
However, now was not the time.
Long Chen was waiting, waiting for the arrival of the night.
But just at that moment, two people walked in from outside the Nether Square. After scanning the crowd for a while, they quickly saw Long Chen. Of the two men, one was Yan Tufu. At that moment, Yan Tufu's face was filled with sorrow and resentment. He was in a very sorry state. The man next to him was tall and handsome. With a single glance, one could tell that he was a talented man.
When the two saw Long Chen, they walked towards Long Chen.
Before they even got close, Long Chen could already sense their existence.
"Long Chen!" A low shout rang out.
Long Chen stood up and turned around. He wasn't afraid of Yan Tufu, but the person next to him had an extremely powerful aura. He should be in the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm. In the Nether Army, he could be considered a centurion.
An expert like that was on the same level as the six monstrous beasts from back then.
"You're Long Chen?" The man examined Long Chen for a while and coldly asked.
"May I ask who you are?" Long Chen raised his head and looked at him.
"Haha, who are you? This is the centurion who leads us, Lord Huang Qiong. He's in the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm," said Yan Tufu coldly as he stared at Long Chen.
Long Chen glanced at him and said, "Long Chen greets you, centurion. You must be here today because I injured Yan Tufu, right? Isn't it said that every soldier is qualified to challenge a corporal? As long as you defeat a corporal, you can automatically become a corporal. Did I do something wrong?"
What Long Chen did was absolutely reasonable.
When Huang Qiong saw that Long Chen didn't seem to be afraid of her at all, she coldly said, "What you did was indeed in accordance with the rules. But after he retreated in defeat, you still tried to kill him. Then, you crippled his …"
So it was like that.
"I crippled his what?" said Long Chen, pretending to be indifferent.
"You crippled my family jewels," said Yan Tufu, flustered and exasperated when he saw that Long Chen didn't admit it.
Those words were too obvious.
The surrounding people were originally still immersed in their cultivation, but they were startled awake by those words. The surrounding people all looked at the short and stocky Yan Tufu with strange expressions. Soon after, a loud roar of laughter rang out.
Ye Xuan, who was beside him, also woke up.
Yan Tufu wanted to find a hole to hide in, and Huang Qiong's face was red with anger. He didn't want to stay there any longer. He coldly glanced at Long Chen and said, "Come back with me."
"What if I don't?" said Long Chen.
"Disobeying a military order is a capital offense in the Netherworld Army."
Huang Qiong waved his hands indifferently, then left with Yan Tufu. If Long Chen didn't listen to him and didn't follow him, he had many ways to kill Long Chen openly.
Although Yan Tufu's character was vile, he was actually Huang Qiong's confidant. Every year, Yan Tufu would offer many good things to Huang Qiong, taking his money to get rid of disasters.
Long Chen and Ye Xuan looked at each other.
"Brother Chen, just ignore him. I'll talk to Qin Xiong another day. These small fries won't touch you anymore, and they won't cause any trouble for you."
"There's no need to trouble you. I'll just go back. They can't do anything to me."
Long Chen smiled. After bidding farewell to Ye Xuan, he headed in the direction of the Feral Wolf Battalion. He didn't want to trouble Qin Xiong over such a small matter, so he directly went back. In any case, he would only be back at night to try to subdue the golden lightning beast.
Since Long Chen insisted, Ye Xuan didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Long Chen had followed, Yan Tufu and Huang Qiong both smiled.
"This brat definitely messed me up this time. If I don't cripple him and make him wish he was dead, then I won't be called Tufu."
"Don't worry, he's just a brat with no power or background. I can kill him easily."
"You can't kill him. After you cripple him, hand him over to me. He made me so miserable, so I'll torture him for a few years. I'll make him regret coming to this world." A sinister smile appeared on Yan Tufu's face.
His smile was so intense that it affected his injuries. Yan Tufu was in so much pain that he cramped up.
After a while, the Feral Wolf Battalion finally arrived. Following the centurion, Long Chen walked to the courtyard where he lived. Actually, the eight Underworld Soldiers were standing together nervously. They really didn't know that Yan Tufu and Huang Qiong had such a close relationship. No wonder Yan Tufu was so lawless in the Underworld Army. There was no one to manage him.
Following them, Long Chen also walked into the courtyard.
Apart from Jiang Chong, who stood hesitantly in his original spot, the rest of the group hid at the back.
"This Long Chen is finished. Yan Tufu has such a good relationship with the centurion. Now that Long Chen has been sent back, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"This brat actually dared to deal with Yan Tufu. I told you he wouldn't have a good ending."
"Luckily, we didn't help him deal with Yan Tufu."
A few of them muttered in low voices, trying their best to declare that they had nothing to do with Long Chen.
Long Chen also heard these words.
"A group of useless people."
Long Chen secretly smiled and didn't pay attention to them anymore. With their temperaments, they would never achieve anything in their entire lives. This was the peak of their lives.
Standing in the spacious courtyard, Huang Qiong and Yan Tufu turned their heads and saw Long Chen walking in. An icy aura erupted from Huang Qiong's body and pressed down on Long Chen.
The ninth level of the Heaven Realm was the perfection of the Heaven Realm, the perfection of the Domain.
When he arrived in front of Huang Qiong, Long Chen raised his head and said, "I've returned. Do you have any orders?"
Huang Qiong smiled. It was rare to see such a youth who wasn't afraid of death. He went straight to the point and said, "I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you can block one of my moves without dying, I can forget about the mistakes you've made before."
Yan Tufu was a bit anxious, but when he thought of Huang Qiong's strength, he felt relieved. Although Huang Qiong only used one attack, he could still kill Long Chen.
"Then come."
