"How could this be?"
Everyone was shocked. Although Dongfang Yuyang's performance was still formidable, by comparison, he was far inferior to Nangong Zuiyue, Beitang Rushuang, and Ximen Tianxiong, not to mention being compared to divine sons and maidens like Tian Xiezi and Dan Xianzi.
Compared to Di Feng, the gap between the two was worlds apart. Although Dongfang Yuyang appeared calm on the surface, he had clearly sped up his pace, yet his kill efficiency was still far behind.
"Could it be that he is hiding his strength?" Mengqi couldn't help but speak up.
"No, hiding your strength at this moment is wrong. You know, last time this guy tried to trick the boss, but the boss sent the sea monster clan to deal with him.
Dongfang Yuyang's face was swollen from the slap until his buttocks were swollen, and his reputation plummeted. This was the perfect time for him to perform well and make a comeback.
Even if he couldn't stand out alone, he should at least remain above average. Right now, he was clearly at the bottom, and even some neutral strong fighters performed not much worse than him. Guo Ran asked with some confusion.
The neutral forces also have many powerful figures. These experts are usually low-key, but now they are gradually emerging. After all, this concerns the Primordial Essence Blood and cannot be taken lightly.
There were even experts suspected of awakening spiritual blood, and their performance was extremely formidable, hardly inferior to Dongfang Yuyang.
"This Dongfang Yuyang always gives me an extremely dangerous feeling, but I can't say exactly where the danger lies.
Moreover, this person is deeply scheming and showed little hatred when he saw me. Last time, he was beaten so badly that he nearly lost control. I think he was probably disguising himself on purpose.
In short, everyone should be cautious; there will definitely be no mistakes. If I get the chance, I'll test his background again. Long Chen said.
Long Chen was very confident in his spiritual sense. Having cultivated the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, his sense of danger was extremely sharp, and he had never made a mistake.
As for why Dongfang Yuyang is so low-key, willing to be looked down upon and lower the morale of the Dongfang family rather than go all out, Long Chen couldn't understand either.
"Xia Chen, how have we gained?" Long Chen asked.
This time, no one in the Dragonblood Legion died in battle, but almost everyone was injured. Some were even seriously injured and needed some time to recover.
Meng Qi suffered the greatest loss. All 108 of her 108 peak twelfth-tier magical beasts died in battle. After all, magical beasts are magical beasts—their intelligence is too low, they don't understand how to cooperate with each other, and their beastly nature is stubborn. They won't obey orders 100% and will only rely on brute force to fight fiercely. In this kind of group battle, they can't last long before all are killed. So Long Chen asked about the gains to encourage everyone.
"I've absorbed more than thirty pools of essence blood." Xia Chen said.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. The battle that followed was extremely intense, with all the high-level blood clan members attacking, and the harvest of essence blood was surprisingly abundant.
During the first fierce battle, the Dragon Blood Legion had harvested more than half the pool of essence blood. Xia Chen estimated that they could refine over three thousand drops of Ancient Essence Blood and more than thirty pools of essence blood. Wouldn't that mean the Dragon Blood Legion would have a hundred thousand drops of essence blood? Almost everyone gets ten drops of essence blood? The hope of activating the spiritual blood was instantly ignited, and everyone was thrilled.
"But don't get too excited yet. In the upcoming battle, because the Soul-Devouring Ironclad Army is too numerous, they carry a lot of their essence blood.
Their essence blood is useless, and there is also the blood essence of the Blood-Infuriating Bull Demon, which makes up at least half of it. After removing them, there are probably only about fifteen pools. Xia Chen shook his head.
"Then you might as well have told us about the Fifteen Pools from the start. That way, we'd still be very happy. You first tell us about thirty, then cut more than half. Xia Chen, you're being a bit unfair." Gu Yang smiled bitterly. Good news with a discount was a bit painful.
"That's not bad either. At least half of our Dragon Blood Legion's warriors have enough blood essence. Even if half of us activate our spirit blood, our overall combat power will still undergo a dramatic change." Li Qi said with a smile.
Long Chen shook his head: "Sorry, brothers, I have to put you down a bit too. Because you've cultivated the Dragon Blood Body Refining Technique and replaced your previous techniques, your bloodlines have started to change. So, your flesh and blood are several levels above those of your peers."
For a person, absorbing ten drops of Ancient Essence Blood greatly increases the chance of activating spiritual blood. Pay attention to the two words: 'great' and 'probability.'
It's not that absorbing ten drops of Primordial Essence Blood guarantees activation of spirit blood. Moreover, this standard only applies to normal Yan Tian practitioners, not those whose spirit blood contains dragon blood. You need to be mentally prepared. Earlier
, Xia Chen's words had sent a chill through everyone's hearts, but Long Chen's words sent a chill down everyone's spine from head to toe, completely chilling them completely.
Ever since they practiced the Dragon Blood Body Refining Technique and replaced their original techniques, their bodies had undergone inexplicable changes. Even the phenomena were exactly the same, which could no longer be measured by the cultivation laws of the Tianwu Continent.
"Boss, how much Ancient Essence Blood do we need?" Guo Ran asked.
"According to my estimate, it should be at least ten times more than others. You need to be mentally prepared." Long Chen said.
"Ten times!" Everyone gasped; this number was just too despairing.
How many blood clan experts would it take to refine so much Ancient Essence Blood? You have to know, every drop of Ancient Essence Blood is incredibly precious, coveted by many, and with so many of them, it would require ten times that amount—it's simply impossible to achieve.
"You don't need to rush. Ancient essence blood is only used during the Tongming Realm, so we still have some time.
Besides, our Dragonblood Legion has faced countless hardships and dangers along the way. Haven't we walked this path hand in hand? What is a little essence blood compared to? Is there anything our Dragonblood Legion can't accomplish? Long Chen smiled, his smile full of confidence.
The Dragonblood warriors laughed too. Yes, they had followed Long Chen and created miracles all the way here. Others might not be able, but they were the Dragonblood Legion.
"Long Chen, are you feeling any better?" Just as everyone was talking, Shen Chengfeng arrived.
"Thank you for your concern, Commander Shen. This minor injury won't even cost me my life." Long Chen smiled faintly and said indifferently.
Long Chen didn't have much fondness for Shen Chengfeng. Previously, when Ye Benchang attacked him, Shen Chengfeng was called a dog but didn't dare to kill, making Long Chen feel he was too cowardly.
Shen Chengfeng smiled faintly and said helplessly, "Today's matter was indeed my fault and caused you to suffer. But as you know, Ye Benchang and I are at the same level—he's the seventh commander, while I'm the eighth. In terms of position, he still has to outshine me by a bit." Shen
Chengfeng actually apologized, which surprised Long Chen. He was indeed dissatisfied with Shen Chengfeng, because Shen Chengfeng was responsible for the entire battlefield, yet Ye Benchang broke in and disrupted the Dragon Blood Legion's defensive formation. He bore undeniable responsibility.
However, judging from Ye Benchang's arrogant attitude, it was clear that the Divine Clan was extremely complicated. Shen Chengfeng indeed had many helplessness, and now, with an apology, Long Chen naturally felt embarrassed to show his attitude.
Long Chen also had no habit of entrusting his fate to others; constant complaints were not his style.
"So, the Divine Clan's Tianlong Legion has eight teams, each led by eight powerful individuals, with Commander Shen ranking last?" Long Chen spoke, then stepped aside to make way.
Shen Chengfeng cupped his fists slightly to express his gratitude, then sat cross-legged on the animal skin carpet beside Long Chen and nodded, saying,
"That's right, the Tianlong Legion has eighty in totalTen thousand of them, each team has one hundred thousand. According to the team power rankings, we are indeed at the bottom, which is a bit embarrassing. The
Dragonblood warriors were shocked to hear that the Divine Clan's Heavenly Dragon Legion actually numbered 800,000. An army of 800,000 Tongming Realm experts was terrifying.
The warriors of the Celestial Dragon Legion were incredibly powerful; with a single move, they controlled the entire battlefield. Back then, the Dragonblood Legion could only barely hold on, but for them, it was as easy as slicing melons and vegetables, showing just how terrifying the Celestial Dragon Legion's combat power was.
Such a terrifying legion ranks last among the eight great legions. So, just how powerful is the first legion of the Celestial Dragon Legion?
The Dragon Blood Legion is known as the top legion of Tianwu, yet in front of the Heavenly Dragon Legion, they seem so insignificant.
"You don't need to be so surprised. When we were at the Mingxing Realm, we might not be as strong as you. My warriors praise your performance highly." Shen Chengfeng said with a smile.
The Dragonblood Legion's performance astonished all the Heavenly Dragon Legion warriors. What shocked them was not the Dragonblood Legion's strength, but the invincible will and absolute trust among the Dragonblood Legion soldiers.
More than 12,000 people can share the same breath and destiny, truly achieving unity among all—this is nothing short of a miracle.
"Commander Shen, I want to know, are Ye Yaochen and Ye Benchang in cahoots?" Long Chen pondered for a moment, but finally asked.
After all, this might involve internal secrets of the Divine Clan. Even if Long Chen asked, Shen Chengfeng might not answer, but he did want to know.
What Long Chen didn't expect was that Shen Chengfeng didn't hesitate at all and said directly, "They are family, both belonging to the Ye family. However, Ye Yaochen is the youngest elder of the Heaven generation in the Divine Clan. He's only thirty-seven years old this year, yet he's already a fourth-step expert in the Tongming Realm." "
What?"
Everyone was shocked. At thirty-seven years old, he was already a fourth-step expert in the Tongming Realm—what kind of monster was this person?
It should be known that the known fourth step of the Tongming Realm on the Tianwu Continent is Tianyu Zhenren. Her age can only be described as ancient, and all the great experts are her juniors.
The third step of the Tongming Realm experts are basically all with lifespans of thousands or even thousands of years; even the youngest warriors take hundreds of years.
At thirty-seven, he was already a fourth-step expert in the Tongming Realm. This was truly terrifying, even Long Chen was shocked.
"Brother Shen, may I share why they're targeting me so much?" Long Chen asked.
