The newcomer was an old man, bringing a large group of attendants. All of them wore the attire of divine clan relatives, but the old man had a large golden embroidered character for 'god' on his chest, indicating he was from the noble divine clan.
The old man was tall and imposing, with a dignified face. Though his hair was white, his eyes shone with divine light, and with every movement, he evolving the profound mysteries of life and death, inspiring awe and awe.
"I, Long Chen, greet the Divine Clan senior."
When the Divine Clan experts descended, the entire Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan was alarmed, ready to face a formidable enemy. Long Chen led the way, cupped his fists, and spoke calmly and respectfully.
The old man looked at Long Chen and nodded, saying, "That's right. A proud person must have the right to be arrogant. Very good." The
old man's words seemed to have a good impression of Long Chen. Long Chen couldn't figure out who the old man really was, but still said,
"Please come inside." Long Chen didn't bother with formalities and spoke directly.
The old man nodded and followed Long Chen into the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan. The other divine clan relatives followed silently behind.
These divine clan relatives were also powerful figures at the Tongming Realm, with powerful auras and considerable combat power—they must be true warriors honed on the battlefield.
Que Yuzhu was supposed to accompany her, but seeing that the old man didn't look at her, she simply went about her own business.
Long Chen led the old man into the reception hall, where guests and hosts were seated. However, only the old man sat down; the divine clan relatives remained standing.
"Since I know you are busy, I won't bring any tea to avoid wasting time. Since you are honored to visit, I wonder if you have any guidance?" Long Chen got straight to the point.
The old man smiled slightly, seemingly surprised by Long Chen's direct way of speaking. Facing someone like him, he could speak so confidently, neither servile nor arrogant—truly remarkable.
This person was none other than one of the four great divine clans' experts at the Tianwu Grand Assembly, a peak Tongming Realm expert.
"It's hard to call it a pointer. You even dared to slap Aquaman? I don't have the guts." The old man actually chuckled.
Long Chen was taken aback. This old man didn't seem to harbor much hostility toward him. He felt a bit relieved, but in fact, he was also a bit nervous. He had almost guessed the person's identity. His wings hadn't grown yet and he didn't dare to confront such a mysterious existence as the Divine Clan.
But his Dan Emperor will wouldn't allow him any retreat. If the old man took on a judgmental stance, Long Chen truly didn't know if he could control his temper.
"They've just been fooled, not a single trick that makes sense, and doesn't catch the senior's eye." Long Chen shook his head and said.
Long Chen knew that his Recording Jade would surely shock countless people, and the trick behind it would be discovered sooner or later.
"Bold yet meticulous, neither arrogant nor impatient. Not bad, the Tianwu Continent has produced quite a few decent figures. Kid, I have high hopes for you." The old man smiled, a hint of admiration on his face.
"Thank you for your compliment, senior." Long Chen cupped his hands and said.
"Alright, back to the main topic. I came this time to tell you something: currently, the forces on the Tianwu Continent are divided into two factions: one sees you as a mortal enemy, the other strongly supports you.
Now, the two sides are almost at odds, at odds like water, and our divine race actually doesn't want to get involved in this conflict.
However, with the Great Dark Age approaching and the emperor no longer appearing, our divine race must take on this responsibility, leading the continent's strongest forces to jointly resist the invasion of foreign races.
But unless this conflict is resolved, there's simply no way to unite and deal with the foreigners together.
After discussion among the elders of the Divine Clan, a compromise was made: we hope you will lead the Dragonblood Legion to resist the Yin-Yang Realm alone for three days. The elder of the Divine Clan said.
"Why would I do this?" Long Chen looked at the elder of the Divine Clan and said.
As soon as Long Chen spoke, the expressions of the Divine Clan relatives changed instantly. Clearly, in their eyes, Long Chen's words were almost utterly rebellious.
"How dare you..." a divine clan relative shouted coldly.
"I've always been bold." Long Chen replied coldly.
When the old man made this request, Long Chen's expression darkened. He was clearly speaking from Dan Valley's perspective—why should he resist alone?
"You ...," the divine clan relative roared angrily.
"Shut up,"
the elder of the Divine Clan said coldly, stopping the man. Only then did he look at Long Chen: "You're actually right. The invasion of the Blood Clan in the Yin-Yang Realm is a problem for the entire continent. Why should you be the one to resist?" "
That's right," Long Chen nodded.
"Actually, this matter has little to do with Dan Valley and other forces; they just came up with a plan that caught our eye.
In fact, we also want your Dragonblood Legion to stand alone against this Yin-Yang Realm. Of course, we definitely won't let you resist for nothing. The elder of the Divine Clan said with a smile.
"What benefit does it bring to me?" Long Chen asked.
"There are three benefits. First, blood clan experts can purify ancient essence blood. For every ten thousand pure bloodline Blood Clan Fate Star Realm experts, one drop of primordial essence blood can be refined.
This drop of Ancient Essence Blood is extremely precious. When a Heaven-Cultivator ascends to the Life Star, taking a drop of Primordial Essence Blood grants a certain chance to activate spiritual blood and communicate with spiritual phenomena. Although it cannot compare to those with Heavenly Soul Phenomenon experts, its combat power is definitely much higher than before.
Originally, these corpses were usually given as collective rewards on the battlefield, belonging to the collective, and exchanged with battlefield points.
If your Dragonblood Legion fights alone, it's as if you're having it all to yourself. No one will compete with you for ...," the elder of the Divine Clan said, looking at Long Chen.
Only then did Long Chen realize that the blood clan actually possessed such a bloodline, able to refine ancient essence blood. This was truly astonishing.
"Continue."
That alone was not enough to move Long Chen. Although the food was tempting, it seemed disproportionate to the danger. Long Chen was no fool.
"Second, while everyone is consolidating their realms, a true life-and-death battle is absolutely necessary for any genius.
And judging by the timing, the seal in the Yin-Yang Realm will expire in two months. This period is precisely the critical moment when all the geniuses have fully consolidated their realms and comprehended life and death.
To put it plainly, this is essentially a free life-and-death trial. After this great battle, I believe some people will surely be able to comprehend the profound meaning of life and death. The elder of the Divine Clan continued.
Long Chen curled his lips and said, "That's a bit far-fetched. Their life-and-death trials are all close to danger, but in the Yin-Yang Realm, it's a true life-and-death battle."
But one thing is true: some people will surely comprehend life and death, because those who haven't basically died. "
That Yin-Yang Realm is the gateway to another world. The blood clan experts have long been prepared, and the army has long assembled. Back then, Long Chen saw it clearly within the Imperial Blood Seal."
So much time has passed, who knows what terrible preparations the blood clan has made? This second reason is ridiculous, treating Long Chen like a fool.
"Long Chen, pay attention to your tone. This is the Heaven-level elder of the Divine Clan, so you should show the respect you deserve. A powerful relative of the Divine Clan finally couldn't hold back and rebuked coldly.
Divine clan elders are divided into three ranks: Heaven, Earth, and Human. The 'Heaven' generation is the highest level. In front of this elder, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, but Long Chen spoke without any sign of respect. They thought this kid was being too arrogant.
Divine clan relatives walking on the Tianwu Continent are treated with utmost respect, and they must show utmost respect to the divine clan. However, Long Chen's tone seemed to disregard the elders of the Tian-generation generation, speaking without any formal greetings, which made them extremely angry.
The elder of the Divine Clan frowned slightly, glanced at them, and said coldly, "Can you keep your mouth shut?" The
faces of the Divine Clan's imperial relatives immediately darkened. They knew that flattery had reached their feet, and they no longer dared to make a sound.
The elder of the Divine Clan finally said to Long Chen, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I am an elder of the Heaven generation of the Divine Clan. We share the same surname, so my surname is also Long. You can call me Elder Long."
Continuing the previous topic, the second reason is indeed a bit far-fetched, but it counts as one reason. Next, let's talk about the third reason.
The third reason is that after you hold out for three days, the Divine Clan will lead the strong to replace you.
In other words, you only need to hold out for three days, but those three days will be extremely agonizing, filled with bloodshed and slaughter.
If you complete the mission, our Divine Clan's Star Domain Divine Realm will open for you for free. It's a spiritual world, a sacred place for cultivation for Tongming Realm experts.
The Star Domain Divine Realm has never been open to the outside world. This time, to cope with the Great Dark Age, we will share it with the Tianwu Continent.
However, only those with the Heavenly Soul Phenomenon can enter. Each faction has a limited number of spots, which are extremely precious.
If you succeed, then every survivor of your Dragonblood Legion will be qualified to enter the Star Domain Divine Realm. Elder Long said.
"Star Domain Divine Realm?" What is that? "Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"It was an ancient divine realm, covered by a star. There, your souls would form an illusory version of you, but it would be almost identical to your physical form.
Within the Star Domain Divine Realm, you can freely comprehend, challenge trials, and commit all kinds of evil deeds.
You will also be killed, but after death, your illusory physical bodies will reassemble, and there, you can die ten times—in other words, ten lives.
Between life and death, truly experiencing the profound essence of life and death reincarnation is absolutely unheard of on the Tianwu Continent. It will cause your realm to advance by leaps and bounds. Elder Long said.
Can one die and then come back to life? There was actually such a good place, Long Chen was tempted, but he remained calm on the surface. It was a temptation that was hard to resist, but also deadly danger.
"The fourth ..."
There was actually more, Long Chen was startled.
Elder Long looked at Long Chen and said meaningfully, "If you can complete the mission, our Divine Clan will consider letting you command this dark war." "
