The Dragonblood Legion had all advanced to the first level of Tongming Heaven, their realm completely stable. At this point, they could already refine the Ancient Essence Blood.
"Boss, just as you predicted before, ten drops of Ancient Essence Blood for an ordinary person can activate the spiritual blood phenomenon. According to my estimate, it would take about a hundred drops." As soon as Long Chen returned, Guo Ran found him and reported the matter.
Long Chen saw Guo Ran's surging blood and dragon aura faintly floating on him. He immediately understood—Guo Ran was the first to try the new thing, absorbing the ancient essence blood and activating it.
Long Chen curled his lips and said, "How many drops did you use?" "
Ninety-three." Guo Ran said awkwardly.
"Even a weakling like you needs ninety-three. For someone as physically strong as Gu Yang, he'll probably need two hundred drops." Long Chen shook his head.
Guo Ran was physically strong, the weakest among the male warriors of the Dragonblood Legion, ranking second to last in the entire Dragonblood Legion. Well, first from the bottom was Meng Qi.
"Boss, see through it but don't say it. Brother, there's still work to do." Guo Ran immediately blushed. He knew his physical body was weak, so he decided to test the waters first.
"Then your calculation is way too absurd. What do you mean by about a hundred drops? So you're the only one on the left, and everyone else is on the right? And on the right, does it need to be over two hundred? Long Chen said irritably.
Guo Ran never forgets to save face for himself, always speaking in a roundabout way, making people both laugh and cry.
"Isn't there still Sister Mengqi?" Guo Ran said defiantly.
"Cut the nonsense. Mengqi is a soul cultivator. Can't you at least make some progress?" Long Chen remained silent.
"Hehe, boss, as long as you understand, that's what matters. Why say it out loud? Give your little brother some face." Guo Ran chuckled.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to respond and asked, "How did it feel after activating the spirit blood and communicating with the phenomena?" "
Strong, really strong! The Primordial Spirit Blood ignited all the evil dragon essence blood in my body, and my strength increased at least threefold." Guo Ran said excitedly.
"Triple?" That's impossible, right? "Long Chen was moved. This is just too much. Wasn't it said that the amplification of Ancient Essence Blood was between thirty and fifty percent? Rarely, it can reach 80%.
"It's true. After refining the Primordial Essence Blood, the dragon blood boiled and gave me infinite strength. I've tested it many times, and it really tripled. This ... Hehe... Maybe it's because I'm too 'strong.' Guo Ran smiled a little shyly.
This time, his shyness was genuine; this guy was sarcastic, and Long Chen immediately understood.
Each of the Dragonblood warriors had absorbed the essence blood of the Gold-Devouring Evil Dragon, but to fully awaken the dragon blood, they needed to match the corresponding power and willpower.
Guo Ran's two things were too weak, so his Evil Dragon Essence Blood remained in a semi-awakened state, unlike other Dragon Blood warriors who were basically fully activated.
Now, under the influence of the primordial essence blood, the power of dragon blood has fully erupted and been fully activated, which can indeed elevate Guo Ran's strength to an abnormal level.
"So your current combat power makes you invincible, doesn't it?" Long Chen said in surprise.
With his strength tripled and the armor adding to his support, Guo Ran's power would be truly terrifying.
"You're too kind, you're too kind. Give it your all, hehehe..." Guo Ran said proudly. If he had a tail on his butt, he could probably swing it off. He patted his chest and said,
"Aman and I secretly tried it. As long as he doesn't get bigger, he's no match for me in terms of strength."
"This is impressive." Long Chen gave a thumbs up.
Aman's strength was terrifying—only Long Chen could compare. Although Gu Yang was skilled in strength, compared to Aman, he was far inferior.
Unfortunately, Aman didn't know any martial arts or combat techniques, let alone combat techniques. He could only rely on brute force to fight; otherwise, he would have been even more terrifying.
Now that Guo Ran's spiritual blood had been awakened, his strength could almost rival Aman's. Coupled with his unique fighting style, he was now incredibly strong.
"Boss, this Ancient Essence Blood is incredibly powerful, truly priceless. Now I've experienced it myself."
But because we have dragon blood in our bodies, the consumption is terrifying. I roughly calculated that the amount of Ancient Essence Blood we possess is probably only enough for five hundred people. What do you think...?" Guo Ran said, "What he meant is that the amount is far less than initially estimated, and I don't know how to allocate it."
Because the Primordial Essence Blood was a matter of great importance, Guo Ran wanted to first consult Long Chen. Long Chen shook his head and said,
"There's really no need to discuss this. But the stronger fighters will come first. Once this part of our combat power improves, we'll go to the Yin-Yang Realm to make a show and raise everyone's combat power."
"But the Divine Clan is ...," Guo Ran said hesitantly.
On the Divine Clan's side, two major legions were stationed in the Yin-Yang Realm. Last time they were ambushed, the Divine Clan assembled two Heavenly Dragon Legions' forces, totaling 200,000 strong warriors, to guard the Yin-Yang Realm. To ensure the incident didn't happen again, they closed the passage and prohibited everyone from entering or leaving.
"Don't worry about them. We're just partners with the Divine Clan; they can't restrain us.
I'll handle this matter. When the time comes, I'll first notify Elder Long. If they don't agree, we'll just barge in." Long Chen waved his hand.
The last incident was Ye Benchang's fault. If anyone is to take the blame, it should be the Divine Clan, not the Dragonblood Legion. It's already good that Long Chen didn't go to the Divine Clan to demand an explanation. If they make things difficult for Long Chen again, that would be truly worthless.
"Alright, I'll get to handle it right away." Guo Ran said.
"Hmm, let's hurry. We need to finish this move before the Divine Clan's Star Domain and Divine Realm open, to gain more trump cards." Long Chen said.
Last time, Elder Long said that the Star Domain Divine Realm would need some time to open. To open it, the Divine Clan would need considerable strength.
Now that the Blood Clan has rushed into the Tianwu Continent and broken the Great Emperor's seal, the Divine Clan has begun to accelerate the process of opening the Star Domain Divine Realm, because this is the last chance to elevate the Divine Clan, and even the younger generation of strong warriors on Tianwu Continent.
They had to open the Star Domain Divine Realm before the Earth Seal was broken, or else it would be too late.
The blood clan is now secretly gathering forces. Once the seals on the fiefs at Moling Mountain, Wrongful Death City, and the Ancient Battlefield are broken, they will surely attack the continent together.
After Guo Ran left, Long Chen visited Zheng Wenlong. The atmosphere on the Tianwu Continent was tense, which actually made Huayun Sect's business even better.
Because everyone knows that once the dark age arrives, a bloody battle will begin. At this moment, a powerful trump card can save your life at a critical moment.
Therefore, the various life-saving runes and tools of Huayun Sect are especially sought after. Even with Huayun Sect's foundation, they seem to be on the verge of being drained.
Long Chen arrived, and Zheng Wenlong smiled, "Long Chen, I'm admiring myself more and more now."
Back then, I was just a rookie in the cultivation world, yet I had unique insight and was willing to invest heavily on you. Everything about me now proves just how wise and wise I was back then. "
You're getting more and more clever. You're complimenting me in a roundabout way. Even though I, Long Chen, am indifferent to fame and fortune, I still feel a bit arrogant." Long Chen laughed. Zheng Wenlong was indeed bold; when everyone was on edge, he managed to remain calm.
Moreover, when Long Chen entered Huayun Sect, he found everything was normal. The disciples greeted him with smiles, none of the worried and troubled expressions typical of the outsiders.
"It's true that you have little reputation, but you might not be so indifferent to profit. You have to understand, in this world, without money, you can't take an inch." Zheng Wenlong said with a smile.
"Alright, I was wrong. Money is still very important. I'm here this time to purchase some rare medicines." Long Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, it was you last time. I've already learned a bit about the rare herbs you bought before, but they don't want to make a move, so there's nothing I can do.
But now things are different. Under the heavy pressure of the dark age, everyone is on edge, desperately fighting for their own survival cards. The resources in their hands are all about switching to immediate results, no longer considering long-term interests—they want things that work immediately!
So, this is probably the best time for you to make the exchange. "Zheng Wenlong said with a smile.
After working with Long Chen for so long, Zheng Wenlong knew what Long Chen had—beast essence blood, crystal cores, divine materials, and so on—all of which were in high demand right now.
Long Chen chuckled. He knew that this turbulent and extraordinary period was both the worst and the best of times.
Long Chen left Zheng Wenlong a large pile of rare medicine names. These were all essential for eleventh-grade pills. As his cultivation advanced to the Tongming Realm, many pill recipes unknowingly appeared in Long Chen's mind, which made him even more delighted.
With the Primordial Essence Blood and the aid of pills, the Dragon Blood Legion will be like a tiger with wings, entering a phase of rapid advancement.
Facing this great dark era, Long Chen was under immense pressure. Moreover, Emperor Moli cheated for him, and karma would be added to the next heavenly tribulation. The terror of the next tribulation would exceed Long Chen's imagination. If he couldn't fully improve, he would die without a grave.
But now, it seems the timing has turned. Many opportunities have arisen that will rapidly boost the Dragon Blood Legion, giving Long Chen endless confidence.
This time, Long Chen had a premonition that the Tongming Realm was the period when the entire Dragon Blood Legion would erupt. Their growth would be unprecedented, and the Dragon Blood Legion would become Long Chen's greatest support in the future.
Leaving Zheng Wenlong's place, Long Chen used the teleportation array of the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan to enter the Wild World directly.
During this period, the Primordial Demon Clan has been extremely tense and busy, because in the passage of the Wild World, demons are flooding into the Wild World frantically. It seems the enemy has sensed something, and the attacking demons are growing stronger and stronger.
Fortunately, with the grand formation set up by Xia Chen, none of the demons who entered here had escaped so far. Everything was proceeding tense and orderly, with no need to worry too much.
After Long Chen arrived, he took away a large amount of resources, including divine materials, magical beast crystal cores, and essence blood. These were the things the Tianwu Continent needed most at the moment, and Long Chen entrusted them all to Zheng Wenlong.
After arranging all this, Long Chen was startled when he returned to the Chasing Cloud Swallowing Sky Sparrow clan, because countless powerful members of the Xuan Beast clan had flooded into the Clan.
