As Long Chen's strength increased, the number of his opponents also gradually increased. In the entire Nether Battlefield of the main city area of the Ghost, he had defeated many people in the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm. That was why he had the title of the strongest person under the God Martial Realm. However, he did not harm anyone's life.
The highest number of opponents he had encountered was also a temporarily formed gang, with a total of more than twenty people. And this time, his opponents had directly increased to seventy-five people. Although none of them were martial artists of the Divine Martial Realm, many of them were already very close to it, and there were also many people who had magical means, such as Talisman Masters, Puppet Masters, and so on. Talisman Masters could use powerful spirit talismans, and Puppet Masters could use powerful rune puppets, such as the Purple Lightning Giant that Long Chen had once defeated.
There were also Alchemists who could replenish the consumed Vital Energy for the others in the team.
Long Chen's greatest advantage was his speed. After being tempered by the golden lightning beast until now, his speed had already reached the level of the God Martial Realm.
Another advantage was that he had killed at least hundreds of nether beasts along the way. The blood of countless nether beasts had been condensed together and placed in the Great Virtual Realm. In this way, Long Chen could use this energy at any time when his Vital Energy was insufficient.
In the Nether Battlefield, nether beasts could not be completely killed. More and more nether beasts would be born in the Nether Blood River, so Long Chen was not stingy with this power.
At this moment, the people of the Bloody Abyss Gang had formed a huge circle and were walking towards Long Chen step by step. Because of Long Chen's unique fighting style, his reputation had already spread in the Nether Battlefield. Soldiers of the Nether Army below the level of a centurion would basically run away when they encountered Long Chen. Long Chen would also not deal with them. For the current him, opponents in the God Martial Realm were too risky. He was still only in the sixth level of the Heaven Martial Realm. He could learn a lot from the warriors in the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
Especially, seventy-five warriors were enough for him to take advantage of everyone's strengths and turn them all into his own strengths.
The True Martial Emperor's Spirit was such a heaven-defying thing.
The battle immediately began. They knew that Long Chen was fast, so they didn't want Long Chen to stab into the crowd. First, they sent out more than 20 people to attack Long Chen from afar. There were quite a few Puppet Masters among them. At this moment, they used all their skills and summoned the Puppet Beasts that they had prepared for a long time.
These Walking Puppets were of all kinds, but most of them were more similar to nether beasts, and they indeed had the power of nether beasts. It was estimated that some materials from nether beasts were needed to make them. These Walking Puppets that looked like lions, tigers, or giants, together with the martial artists in the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm, madly attacked Long Chen.
Long Chen transformed into his Dragon Soul form and raised his strength to its peak.
This bloody and ruthless appearance caused everyone's hearts to palpitate slightly. They truly realized that such a martial artist was not easy to deal with.
Golden lightning crackled on Long Chen's body.
Whoosh.
Long Chen disappeared from their sight and broke through their encirclement.
"He's so fast."
"How could it be? How could a martial artist in the Heaven Martial Arts Realm be so fast?"
Everyone was simply stunned.
"Don't just stand there, attack together."
The leader of the Bloody Abyss Faction roared. Suddenly, everyone was in high spirits and rushed toward Long Chen. For a moment, the sky was full of moves.
"It's not that there are more people, but there are so many of them today. It's enough for me to beat them for a long time. Now I'm almost at the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm. As long as I reach the seventh level …"
Using the True Martial Emperor Soul for about four hours a day, Long Chen would actually be a little tired. Therefore, every time he encountered an opponent, he would limit the time of the battle to about four hours. He would often show mercy to his opponents. Now that there were so many enemies, he could use all his means to deal with these people.
The Hell Emperor Destroys the Army was pierced through by Long Chen's hand. Long Chen punched out again and again, and his opponents were like an army. Every punch of Long Chen's punches created a huge hole in the army. Miserable screams rang out. Long Chen unleashed his full power. Many people were sent flying by Long Chen in just one or two moves, coughing up blood. Without a period of recuperation, they wouldn't be able to recover.
The number of 75 people was decreasing rapidly.
"This guy is too terrifying. He's not human. Leader, let's attack him together."
One of the deputy leaders said.
"Kill him," the leader of the Bloody Abyss Faction said in a cold voice.
"Use the Bloody Abyss Formation we obtained. The eight of us will combine our domains and exhaust him to death."
While Long Chen was chopping melons and vegetables, the eight leaders of the Bloody Abyss Faction quietly approached Long Chen.
In fact, Long Chen had long noticed them, but he did not care. He only focused on the battle in front of him. Long Chen's goal was not to defeat his opponents. He strived to see each person's performance and then learn something that belonged to him.
Soon, Long Chen entered a state of selflessness.
The entire world around him disappeared, and what remained was the Netherworld Army that was guiding him in his cultivation. The mysterious rules and the understanding of the Heavenly Martial Fist Art were revealed when the other party attacked. Long Chen seized it bit by bit. His speed of copying was much faster than others.
Under Long Chen's attack, the warriors lost their will to fight. The group of 75 people gradually decreased. Soon, only the eight leaders of the Bloody Abyss Faction could stand in front of Long Chen.
It took Long Chen about half an hour to defeat more than sixty people. When he defeated the last enemy, Long Chen's heart shook. A strange feeling of enlightenment rushed into Long Chen's mind from the True Martial Imperial Soul. His Martial Spirit was becoming stronger and stronger. The red color on it was getting darker and darker. After it reached the seventh layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, it started to look like an Archean Spiritual Blood Dragon.
That's right. After such a high-intensity battle and consuming the essence of hundreds of nether beasts, Long Chen finally relied on the power of the True Martial Emperor Soul to directly upgrade his Martial Soul to Lv 7 of the Sky Martial Realm.
"Bloody Abyss Formation, kill him!"
The eyes of the leaders were filled with shock as they looked at the monster that was Long Chen. However, they were not willing to give up. At that moment, they surrounded Long Chen.
"So impatient."
Long Chen smiled. A large amount of nether beasts' blood gushed out of his Great Virtual Realm and formed a blood ball that was hundreds of meters tall. This blood ball rotated crazily and directly sent the eight leaders flying.
"What is this?"
"The blood of nether beasts."
"What kind of monster is he? He can actually control the blood of nether beasts."
"Look, the size of the blood sphere is shrinking."
When they saw that the blood ball was shrinking, they were stunned. Those who were injured were still conscious. At that moment, they all moved back, afraid that they would be affected by the battle.
Long Chen was using Blood Refining Qi to refine the blood of nether beasts into his own Spiritual Origin. Basically, a large amount of blood could condense a little bit of Spiritual Origin and integrate it into Long Chen's acupuncture points. However, because the total amount of nether beasts' blood was so large, in a short moment, the blood ball that was hundreds of meters tall was completely absorbed into Long Chen's stomach.
"Break!"
A majestic power and soaring murderous aura burst out from Long Chen's body. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept around. Black dust flew everywhere. Those warriors who were injured by Long Chen were also blown away by Long Chen. They screamed in the air.
"He has become stronger again."
The leaders of the Bloody Abyss Gang were keenly aware of Long Chen's situation. Long Chen had become stronger again.
Lv 7 of the Sky Martial Realm.
This meant that Long Chen was getting closer and closer to his goal.
After coming to the Nether Battlefield for half a year, Long Chen had continuously improved by two levels. If his estimation was correct, he would be able to reach Lv 9 of the Sky Martial Realm in another six months to one year.
Then, with the help of the Divine Martial Fortune Elixir, which was a very important second-grade elixir, he would be able to break through to the Starry Sky Martial Realm, which was said to form 9,999 acupuncture points.
"Now, without the enhancement of the Five Emperor Dharma Forms, if I use weapons, I am still not a match for a God Martial Realm expert. I still need to improve to Lv 8 of the Sky Martial Realm before I can confront a warrior who has just entered the God Martial Realm. Of course, I still have Xiao Jin as a trump card. Moreover, my current speed has already surpassed a warrior who has just entered Lv 1 of the God Martial Realm."
Long Chen examined his body and roughly understood his fighting strength.
Although it was still not very strong, it didn't matter. As long as he kept fighting in the Nether Battlefield, there would be a day when he would reach the God Martial Realm. At that time, he would go find Lingxi and no one would be able to stop him.
"Don't let him escape. Bloody Abyss Formation!"
Shouted the leader of the Bloody Abyss Gang. In an instant, everyone surrounded Long Chen. Everyone stood in a position that should be the Eight Trigrams. At that moment, everyone was using the same Battle Skill. Suddenly, a blood-red formation appeared with Long Chen as the center. When the blood-red formation appeared, Long Chen felt as if the eight of them had combined their Domains. It gave him a feeling that it was equivalent to the Domains of hundreds of people in Lv 9 of the Sky Martial Realm.
It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
This was the most powerful Domain that Long Chen had ever resisted. Because his willpower was relatively low, when he was in the Sky Martial Realm, his willpower was at a disadvantage when it came to Domains.
"Only at this level?"
What made the leader of the Bloody Abyss Gang collapse was that Long Chen, who had been suppressed, was actually slowly standing up. His eyes were bursting with a blood-red light. The dragon scales on his body were flowing with splendor. His left and right hands were gold and black. The King of Hell Destroys the Army, which was of extreme Yang and extreme Yin, burst out with intense light.
