As if it could understand Long Chen's meaning, the mysterious Dragon Jade actually moved again. At that moment, Long Chen's entire body trembled. He felt as if his entire body had been sucked into his own sea of consciousness.
On the mysterious Dragon Jade, streaks of blood vessels were revealed.
The red spots of light represented Long Chen's Quintessential Essence, which was circulating on the mysterious Dragon Jade. Long Chen didn't even need to memorize the circulation routes, as Long Chen had already completely engraved them in his mind.
Such a scene unfolded in front of his eyes.
This was a vast and boundless void. Within the billions and billions of miles of territory, there were only twinkling stars. Some of these stars were incomparably huge, blocking out the sky and the sun. Some were spitting out fiery serpents, which were glittering golden fireballs. Some were very deathly still, but faintly revealed a very abnormal gravity.
In the billions of miles of territory in the void, a blood-colored light instantly traversed the endless void.
This speed simply made Long Chen feel as if time and space had been thrown into disarray.
That blood-colored light faintly revealed an aura that made Long Chen have an impulse to kneel down and worship it. Long Chen felt a deep reverence for that blood-colored light.
This scene only flashed past Long Chen's eyes quickly.
Then, everything returned to normal. At this time, Long Chen was still in the process of using the Blood Escape Technique.
"Phew."
As he revolved the new Blood Escape Technique, Long Chen discovered that although his speed hadn't increased by much, every Quintessential Essence was used to move forward. For him, it only took a few blinks of an eye. However, the Blood Escape Technique never stopped. In the end, Long Chen discovered that after advancing at least 100 miles, the Quintessential Essence in his body had finally been completely burned away.
It was very tiring.
However, Long Chen was pleasantly surprised.
"The range of Blood Escape has been increased from five kilometers to fifty kilometers. With such a range, as long as their speed doesn't exceed the speed of my Blood Escape, they won't be able to catch me. Especially when I have enough Time Reversal, when I go crazy, I can travel two hundred kilometers with Blood Escape."
Long Chen calculated that in the God Martial Arts Realm, there would be more than two levels for each level. For example, although Su Xue and Ye Xuan were both in the first level of the God Martial Arts Realm, the Starry Sky Realm, there was a big gap between their fighting strength. Similarly, this conversion could be applied to Su Tian and Dugu Jun.
In other words, Su Tian, an expert of the third level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, compared to Long Chen's current strength of the eighth level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm, was simply higher. It was equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of the Heaven Martial Arts Realm.
Even if Long Chen's fighting capacity was equivalent to the first level of the God Martial Arts Realm, there was still a gap of more than four levels between him and Su Tian.
In the God Martial Arts Realm, there had never been anyone who could surpass four levels. Even if it was a Sword Martial Artist who had an outstanding understanding of the Way of the Sword and was very strong among the same level, they could even surpass one level, for example, those who could increase their strength by a dozen times, but it was absolutely impossible for them to surpass four levels.
This was something that had never happened since ancient times.
Therefore, even if Long Chen's Blood Escape had been improved, he was still far away from their speed. If Dugu Jun hadn't used his magical Field of Solitude to control them, Long Chen would have been caught by now.
"Now that the Blood Escape has been improved, I won't have to worry anymore. If I can break through to the God Martial Arts Realm, then, no matter in any aspect, there will be a huge breakthrough."
Dugu Jun was alone, and Ye Xuan was still being held hostage. Long Chen actually knew that Dugu Jun wouldn't be able to last long against their siege, and Ye Xuan would probably be used as a means to threaten Ye Xuan.
What Long Chen hated the most was being threatened. Now that his new best friend was in the hands of others, his blood started to boil whenever he thought about it.
"Now that the Blood Escape has been improved, I can reach the City Lord's Mansion in five days."
Long Chen had risked his life to reach the City Lord's Mansion before the fifteenth of August.
A ray of blood-red light pierced through the Nether Battlefield. The people along the way could only see a ray of blood-red light appearing in the distance. It swept past in an instant and then disappeared. To them, they would think that it was an illusion.
Five days later, Long Chen saw the dark green formation.
The five Underworld Generals didn't catch up in the end.
Looking back in the direction of the Nether Blood Sea, Long Chen clenched his fists and said, "Ye Xuan, wait for me, and Grandpa Dugu."
After saying this, Long Chen turned around and entered the formation.
… …..
The fifteenth of August was brightly lit.
Night had already fallen. Today was the unique Light Festival of the Serene Hell Mansion. Every household in the Serene Hell Main City was extremely joyous. After nightfall, the entire Serene Hell Main City was quickly immersed in a sea of lights. Colorful lights could be seen everywhere. Under the control of the Talisman Masters, all kinds of lights were shining brightly in the silent night sky.
In the center of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a tall pagoda called the Rainbow Pagoda. The pagoda lived up to its name, especially today. Under the meticulous decorations of the City Lord's Mansion, the entire Rainbow Pagoda had become the symbol of the Nether Main City. From far away, the colorful lights of the Rainbow Pagoda could be seen.
In the deep of the night, there were still people admiring the light of the Rainbow Pagoda.
Countless tiny lights condensed into a huge seven-colored python that coiled around the entire Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda. The python's head extended all the way to the top of the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda, which was more than a thousand meters in the sky. Of course, this seven-colored python was also constructed by the Talisman Masters of the City Lord's Mansion using talismans and some tricks.
The entire night was filled with laughter. This was the busiest day in the Nether Main City.
On top of the Rainbow Glass Pagoda, there were all kinds of programs going on. Laughter was incessant, and children were carrying fireworks and laughing.
At the top of the Rainbow Glass Pagoda, there was a pavilion. Standing there, one could overlook the lights of the entire Nether Main City. From below, one would think that the Rainbow Glass Pagoda was the most beautiful, but from above, one would realize that the sea of colorful lights was the most beautiful and magnificent.
At the top of the Rainbow Glass Pagoda, the wind was stronger, but other than fluttering their clothes, it didn't affect the two people here.
A man and a woman. The man was mature and handsome, full of charisma, and the woman was wearing a long dress and had snow-white skin. She looked like a fairy from the legends.
Looking at the beautiful scenery below them, both of them stayed silent for a long time. Neither of them spoke. The strong wind blew Ye Xuan's long dress, making it flutter in the wind. Her purple dress fluttered in the wind, but it still covered her snow-white skin. On her beautiful face, there was no sign of aging. On the path of cultivation, Ye Xuan still had a lot of room for improvement. Therefore, in reality, she was still very young.
Sumo, who was next to her, was slightly weaker than Ye Xuan in terms of potential. He was already walking the path of middle age. In fact, they were about the same age, but it seemed like Sumo was older than Ye Xuan.
"Another year of bright lights. In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed. Ever since we met, we have spent thousands of these festivals together."
For cultivators, a year's time passed in the blink of an eye. The lights of last year seemed to have been extinguished just yesterday.
Hearing Ye Xuan speak, Sumo turned around and looked at her for a while. His face showed a quiet gentleness, and there was a kind of doting look in his eyes.
"Yes, ten years have passed very quickly. You are still young and beautiful, and your beauty is unparalleled, but I am old."
Speaking of this, Sumo shook his head, his face full of helplessness.
Ye Xuan bit her lips lightly, then let go. She didn't look at Sumo, but said firmly, "I am sorry, I have delayed you. It's just that … I cannot break the promise I made. Although it was a joke, we both took it seriously. After so many years, I can only keep going. Otherwise, I will always feel like there is a barrier in my heart that I can't cross. Sumo, is there something wrong with me?"
Saying these words, Ye Xuan was actually struggling in her heart.
The man next to her was her childhood sweetheart who had grown up together with her. Her life was filled with his aura. Unfortunately, because of one decision, they had messed around, and they had not been able to get together until now. A long time ago, there was discord between their families. The Su family and the Ye family had always been opposing each other. But now that they were so powerful, if they really wanted to be together, no one would be able to stop them. Especially Ye Xuan, who was already the strongest in the Ye family.
After listening to her, Sumo shook his head and smiled, "I don't blame you. It was my own ambition that tied a dead knot. If I can't get through this, I won't have the face to marry you. Don't think too much about it. Didn't I tell you? I can feel the Oblivion Wind Calamity coming soon. In the last twenty years, I will be able to break through to the same level as you."
When saying this, Sumo was full of confidence.
"Is that so?" Ye Xuan's lips twitched, an unknown light flashed in her eyes.
The night gradually deepened. Su Mo looked at the petite figure beside him, her curves fully revealed. He already felt a little thirsty. He knew that it was not the right time. He calmed himself down and the two of them gradually sat down on the high rooftop. Facing the howling cold wind, they looked down at the dazzling lights below.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's face showed a nostalgic expression.
