When Ye Xuan had cultivated the Stygian Qi, Sumo had been there. At that time, Long Chen felt that there was indeed someone on Sumo's side who looked like the person who had tried to assassinate Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan could be counted as a friend, so Long Chen paid more attention to him.
In the following days, Long Chen realized that even though he had the Spirit of the Real Martial Arts Emperor, it was not easy to cultivate in the Sky Martial Arts Realm. However, compared with other people who could cultivate for dozens of years, his current speed was extremely fast.
The Martial Emperor's Soul could not be used indefinitely. Generally speaking, Long Chen would feel tired after activating it for about four hours a day. Therefore, he spent most of his time fighting with demonic beasts, or pondering over the Sky Martial Fist Manual, and pondering over the comprehension of the various warriors in the Sky Martial Arts Realm.
In this way, Long Chen's progress naturally increased by leaps and bounds.
In almost two months, Long Chen fought with more than sixty opponents, most of whom were in the ninth level of the Sky Martial Arts Realm. There were also hundreds of Stygian Beasts above the eighth level of the Royal Realm. With the power of the Martial Emperor's Soul, Long Chen's cultivation realm finally rose to the sixth level of the Sky Martial Arts Realm. Although there was still a long way to go before he reached the God Martial Arts Realm, he was infinitely close. Generally speaking, there were very few warriors in the ninth level of the Sky Martial Arts Realm who were qualified to fight with Long Chen.
Among the more than sixty warriors he defeated, Long Chen only killed one or two of them. Generally, after defeating an opponent, Long Chen would take away three-quarters of his opponent's wealth and leave a quarter for his opponent as a souvenir. Over time, he had more than three million Imperial Crystals. However, the more he obtained, the more the Golden Thunderbolt Beast devoured. At this time, there were only one million Imperial Crystals left in Long Chen's Great Virtual Realm.
This was something Long Chen had left behind as a backup. In case the golden lightning beast ran out of energy, this thing could be used as a backup.
The Golden Thunderbolt Beast had doubled in size after accumulating two million Imperial Crystals. It was still on Long Chen's left hand, full of vigor. It even rushed out of Long Chen's body from time to time to play. Of course, the place where the Golden Thunderbolt Beast had been playing must have been scorched black.
Because of the Golden Thunderbolt Beast's power, Long Chen's left arm was flowing with golden lightning from time to time.
Of course, the most useful thing for Long Chen was the body tempering effect of the Soul-Chasing Hell Electricity.
What the Soulchasing Hell Electricity did to Long Chen's body, a small part of it made Long Chen's body even stronger, and a larger part of it made Long Chen's body even faster. In the past two months, Long Chen had been nurtured at every moment, so even though his cultivation level did not increase, his speed was still, at a nature-defying pace, steadily increasing. At present, in terms of speed, there was no one in the Heaven realm who could compare to Long Chen. Long Chen estimated that his current speed could already catch up to some relatively ordinary warriors in the first level of the Divine Martial Arts realm.
In the past two months, Long Chen's harvest was undoubtedly huge.
If this continued, his cultivation would be like a rolling snowball, it would only get bigger and bigger.
"The sixth level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm. Continuing like this, in roughly half a year's time, I'll be able to reach the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm. In roughly a year's time, I'll be able to reach the eighth level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm, or even the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm. At that time, entering the God Martial Arts Realm will be much easier."
In the three Imperial Regions, a year's time passed in the blink of an eye.
So, Long Chen's heart was filled with hope.
On this day, Long Chen sat on the shore of the Nether Blood River. Beneath his feet was the vast blood-red river that flowed past, stirring up countless blood-red waves. From time to time, human or nether beast corpses would roll about in the blood-red water, then go silent again.
Long Chen rejoiced that he wasn't one of them.
In the middle of the Nether Blood River, a putrid, bloody smell pervaded between heaven and earth. From time to time, there would be weak and small demon beasts sticking their heads out of the river water. After seeing Long Chen, they immediately hid inside again.
In the distant sky, a gust of fierce wind carrying a corrosive smell blew over, blowing Long Chen's hair up.
"That's him."
Behind him, a few cultivators wearing the Netherworld Battle Armor quickly approached. There were middle-aged and elderly cultivators among them. Every single one of them was an expert amongst experts. Judging from the bloody scent on their bodies and the traces of blood in their eyes, one could tell that they had already killed many people in the Netherworld Battlefield.
The coldness and bloodlust hidden in the depths of their eyes was not something that ordinary people could fake.
In the Nether Battlefield, to be honest, it was very difficult to survive by relying on a single person's strength. That's why these people formed a small group. When they met lone warriors, as long as they weren't God Martial Realm chiliarchs, their group would be able to easily deal with them and snatch away their opponent's things.
Walking at the very front of the group was a small and skinny man.
At this moment, he stared fixedly at Long Chen's back, and said to the people behind him: "Yesterday, it was this madman who delayed me for a full four hours and humiliated me. Yesterday, I really lost too miserably. Brothers, I'll first thank you for giving me face today. This brat's greatest characteristic is that he's fast. When everyone surround him, let's see how he'll still be fast."
This group of people were actually all centurions, and there were a total of ten of them.
In the Specter Main City, there were a total of five thousand centurions. Behind Long Chen, there were ten of them that formed a group.
The Nether Battlefield was incomparably huge. Long Chen was still within the boundaries of the Specter Main City. Who knew how long it would take for him to reach the boundaries of the other main cities?
"Brothers, surround him! Don't let him escape in the water!"
Everyone shouted in unison and surrounded Long Chen. They thought that Long Chen would escape, but unexpectedly, Long Chen didn't move at all. When they were only ten meters away from Long Chen, they surrounded Long Chen in a circle. Only then did Long Chen slowly stand up.
When Long Chen came back to his senses and saw a skinny man, he said: "Didn't I let you go yesterday? Why did you come back today? I won't let you go the second time."
"Bullsh * t. Yesterday, if you didn't dodge and dodge, and if you didn't sneak attack, you would have been able to defeat me. Today, I brought ten brothers in the 9th level of the Heaven realm here just to skin you alive and pull out your tendons." The skinny and small man sinisterly said.
The others looked at Long Chen and also wanted to attack.
They could keenly sense that Long Chen's Pure Origin was only in the sixth level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
After the skinny man finished speaking, the others also coldly looked at Long Chen.
"In the Nether Battlefield, apart from God realm cultivators, no one dares to touch us brothers."
"Boy, I've heard that you're quite arrogant. Today, the ten of us are standing here. You better quickly kowtow and apologize to us brothers. Perhaps if we're in a good mood, we'll even let you live."
Ten experts in the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm combined, except for those in the God Martial Arts Realm, no one could match them, let alone a lone warrior.
Relying on unity, they did very well in the Nether Battlefield. In that place, everyone had their own special battle methods.
When the Domains of the ten experts of the ninth Heaven realm combined, they did indeed form a very strong suppressive power towards Long Chen. However, to Long Chen, because of the tempering of the golden Lightning Beast, his physical body already became incomparably condensed. In addition to the bonuses of the Dragon Soul Transformation and so on, the current Long Chen was no longer afraid of the Domains of the ninth Heaven realm.
Everyone was waiting for Long Chen to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
Just at that time, Long Chen looked around, and suddenly said with an incomparably relaxed smile, "In the Nether Battlefield, it doesn't seem to have any meaning if it's just everyone's words. Let's make a bet."
At first, the ten martial artists even thought they misheard, but when they saw Long Chen's expression, they knew he didn't seem to be mistaken.
"You're saying you want to make a bet with us?"
"Kid, don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us. Once you're done, kneel down in front of us. Let each of us pee on your head and call each of us' Grandpa '. Then, you can leave today."
"That's right. Let each of us pee and call us' Grandpa '. Then, we'll let you go." The skinny man also laughed in agreement.
Long Chen wasn't frightened at all. In his eyes, the opponent's powerful formation seemed to be empty. He nodded and said, "Since you like to play like this, then I'll respectfully accept. I'll accompany you. Let's make the bet like this. I'll fight against the ten of you. If I win, you have to give me a million Emperor Crystals in total and call me 'Grandpa'. If I lose, we'll do as you say. Additionally, I'll pay you a million Emperor Crystals. You must feel that this kind of bet is very exciting, right?"
Long Chen's words simply made the ten martial artists dumbfounded. They looked at each other, then looked at Long Chen as if he was a monster and laughed. They felt that they had met an idiot.
Long Chen also laughed along with them. For a moment, the eleven of them laughed crazily together.
After Long Chen laughed for a while, they stopped laughing. Each of them looked at Long Chen as if he was an idiot. The more Long Chen laughed, the uglier their expressions became.
"Brothers, don't waste time. Beat him up." The skinny man cursed.
The others were about to attack, but Long Chen waved his hand and said, "I really have a million Emperor Crystals. You ten people don't even dare to accept my bet? It seems that you ten people really don't have any guts. How can a man without guts live in this world?"
Long Chen's mocking words angered the other party.
"Boy, what you said is the truth."
"If you lose, you have to kneel down, pee on us, call us' Grandpa ', and pay us a million Emperor Crystals."
