"You're not bragging, are you? "Pfft, ptooey, our kids never brag. Well done, well done, hahaha..."
The old man patted Long Chen the shoulder and laughed heartily, his laughter full of pride.
Qu Jianying, Li Tianxuan, and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed. When Feng Fei arrived, although she hadn't shown any tricks, her aura was intimidating.
These old fellows, who had lived for hundreds of years, were very accurate at judging people, able to see at a glance Feng Fei's terrifying nature.
At the same time, they understood the meaning of the Divine Clan. Sending Feng Fei out was actually a form of deterrence, inspiring respect and awe for everyone.
As soon as Feng Fei appeared, all the heroes paled in comparison. Countless prodigies witnessed her brilliance, instantly feeling as if they were fireflies standing beside the bright moon.
Feng Fei arrived at the Tianwu Alliance, and all the disciples came out. Feng Fei didn't spare anyone a glance, except when the Dragon Blood Legion appeared, which caught her eye. She said, 'No wonder it's the number one Tianwu Legion.'
After taking the data Qu Jianying had given her, she drove the carriage away. Although she stayed for less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick and didn't show any tricks, she still left a sense of awe.
She was a despairing peak, an unsurpassable existence, especially her peerless beauty and noble aura, which captivated people and made it impossible to harbor hostility. Perhaps this is the bearing of a great emperor.
So after Feng Fei left, the Tianwu Alliance caused a huge uproar. Compared to Feng Fei, those who were Di Feng and Tian Xiezi were just trash.
Now, hearing that Long Chen and Feng Fei had fought a mutually wounded battle, although he knew Long Chen disdainfully lied, he still found it hard to believe.
"Haha, Long Chen, you're finally back! So, we've all started arriving at Tongming Palace... Damn, how did you get hurt? At
that moment, the disciples of the Tianwu Alliance also heard the news of Long Chen's return. Ye Lingshan, Bao Buping, Chang Hao, and others entered, and when Bao Buping saw Long Chen's appearance, he was startled.
When Long Chen saw Ye Lingshan, Bao Buping, and others, he was also startled: "You ... Damn, am I seeing that right? Entering the third step of the Tongming Realm? How did you do it? What
Long Chen found hard to believe was that Bao Buping and the others' aura was steady, and black energy surged in his eyes—that was the death aura of a third-step Tongming Realm expert.
Not only had they reached the third step, but they could actually restrain the death aura, which meant they could control it. How long had it been, and their progress had been so terrifying? When he went to the Divine Clan, they had clearly just begun to push for the second step.
"Long Chen"
At that moment, Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, Ye Zhiqiu, Dong Mingyu, Liu Ruyan, Xiao Yun, and all the warriors of the Dragon Blood Legion also arrived.
When they saw Long Chen, they were all startled. Long Chen had all advanced to the third step of Tongming. Even Guo Ran, who was used to holding them back, had reached the third level. However, his aura fluctuated too much, clearly just advanced and still couldn't be controlled.
When everyone heard that Long Chen and Feng Fei had clashed, resulting in a mutually wounded situation, the Dragon Blood warriors erupted in cheers.
Guo Ran shouted loudly, spitting everywhere: "See that?" See that? Am I right?
No matter how impressive a woman is, when she meets the boss, she's destined to be dealt with. My boss is invincible; if she dares to act arrogant, my boss will take her in... Mmm—
" Guo Ran's mouth opened and he couldn't hold back, but Long Chen covered him tightly. If this guy kept talking, he'd get him into trouble again.
Mengqi and the others couldn't help but laugh. They knew Guo Ran's personality—he meant no harm, just liked to brag.
Originally, Feng Fei's arrival put endless pressure on Mengqi and the others. Yue Zifeng said this woman was probably stronger than the eldest, and this visit was likely to establish her authority.
Although this display of authority was somewhat insignificant, it must be said that Feng Fei truly intimidated everyone. Yue Zifeng admitted that facing Feng Fei, he didn't have the courage to draw his sword.
You have to know, when it comes to true combat power, Yue Zifeng has always been the most terrifying person besides Long Chen.
Moreover, because he is a sword cultivator, he naturally possesses an unwavering will. He said that in front of Feng Fei, he lacks the courage to draw his sword, which means he cannot find any of Feng Fei's weaknesses. Drawing the sword is futile; Feng Fei is far stronger than him.
"Boss, what have you been up to these days? Your cultivation hasn't improved at all." Gu Yang looked at Long Chen and frowned as he saw that Long Chen was still at the early stage of Tongming.
"Don't even mention it. Every day you're so busy your feet hurt the back of your head—where would you have time to cultivate? By the way, how did your cultivation improve so quickly?" Long Chen asked.
Mengqi smiled and explained, "Isn't it because when our fortune erupted, we occupied the strongest torrent of fortune? Now the dark side has descended."
The Heavenly Dao has also begun to change. Now we can clearly feel the favor it is giving us, and our cultivation efficiency is several times faster than usual.
Moreover, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, we don't need to resist inner demons or suppress our cultivation—our foundation is incredibly solid. "
Long Chen suddenly understood. The struggle for the Fortune Torrent back then was finally showing results.
"We've inquired about other factions. Although they've also received blessings from the Heavenly Dao, the effect is definitely not as strong as ours." Tang Wan'er giggled.
Long Chen nodded, thinking of the change in the aura of the Heavenly Dao above the void, as if night had fallen, and said:
"It seems that this change in heaven and earth is closely related to the timing of the arrival of the Dark Age.
This is a form of self-redemption for the Tianwu Continent, bestowing all its fortune upon the continent, allowing prodigies to absorb it freely, rapidly growing stronger to face foreign enemies.
This was not only a battle among the living beings of the Tianwu Continent, but also a battle for life and death for the continent. "
That's right, the scale of our Tianwu Continent's prodigies now is unmatched by any era.
Therefore, the bloodshed and frenzy of this Dark Age will be unprecedented. Unfortunately, so far, there is still no sign of the birth of a great emperor.
Feng Fei indeed had the bearing of an emperor, but the Heavenly Dao did not manifest any strange phenomena. The fact that she condensed a crown for her meant she had not yet gained recognition from the Tianwu Continent.
With the emperor absent, undercurrents surge. The major powers cannot unite or trust each other. The current Tianwu Continent is in turmoil, truly worrying. Qu Jianying sighed.
Only the Great Emperor can earn the recognition of heaven and earth and be trusted by all. Whether righteous or evil, or demonic beasts or mystical beasts, all will wholeheartedly trust the Great Emperor.
Only the Great Emperor could gather all forces, gather all strength together, and resist foreign enemies together.
But at this point, the emperor had not yet been born, which made people even more worried. Without the emperor, the Tianwu Continent would be like scattered sand—how could they resist the extraterritorial demons?
Guo Ran said nonchalantly, "Don't be afraid. As long as our boss is here, nothing will be a problem. Once my boss reaches the next level, there's nothing like Di Fengfeng or Fengfei—the boss can beat their underwear to the ground."
Besides, our brothers in the Dragonblood Legion aren't to be underestimated. No matter how powerful Feng Fei is, if we Dragonblood Warriors attack together, we definitely won't fear her. "
Guo Ran seemed more confident than Long Chen himself. In his heart, Long Chen was undefeated, never defeated.
Moreover, Guo Ran's tone revealed strong confidence. Clearly, the Dragonblood Legion had undergone another transformation during this period.
"Stop bragging. While there's still some time now, I'm going into seclusion to see if I can raise my cultivation level in these three days."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he bid farewell to the old man and the others. Meng Qi led Long Chen to a secluded cultivation site, a solitary high mountain, the best place for the Tianwu Alliance to retreat. All the spiritual formations on the mountain were concentrated in one place.
Long Chen held Meng Qi's hand, gazing at her delicate face, feeling a wave of warmth in his heart. Every time he saw them, he felt a surge of pride.
They are Long Chen's life. Every time he sees them, he feels full of confidence. He wants to protect them and not let them be anxious. Perhaps this is his greatest motivation to keep moving forward. Although it may be bitter and tiring, every time he sees these delicate girls, his heart is filled with happiness.
"Mengqi, I brought you some things this time. Take a look and see if they can be used."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he summoned a massive skeleton. When Meng Qi saw the skeleton, she couldn't help but cry out in surprise:
"Nether beast?"
"You know them?" Long Chen asked.
"No, I only know that they are demon beasts from the underworld. The patterns on their bones are runes unique to demon beasts of the underworld. I saw their descriptions on a fragment of bone, but I couldn't tell their species. Where did these things come from?" Mengqi exclaimed in surprise.
As a beast tamer, she kept collecting all related items. With the help of Huayun Sect, she had read ancient texts many had never seen before, so she recognized the origin of these bones.
"Hehe, Mo Nian and I dug these out of the grave. By the way, can you see if these things can be used?"
I remember you have a technique that can control beast corpses. These Underworld Beast corpses are all valuable. Let's see if you can handle it." Long Chen chuckled.
"My technique can control the corpses of magical beasts from the Tianwu Continent, but only if the crystal core is intact, and a trace of soul must be preserved. But the demon beasts of the underworld are ...," Meng Qi felt uncertain, because if she failed, the crystal core would shatter instantly, and a precious crystal core would vanish.
"It's fine, let's give it a try. After all, it's all free, so I don't feel bad if I fail." Long Chen could see Meng Qi's concerns. After all, a crystal core of this level would have endless uses if embedded in weapons or armor, and it would be a pity to damage it.
Seeing Meng Qi a bit nervous, Long Chen laughed heartily and waved his hand, throwing out one massive Nether Beast skeleton after another.
"It's fine, I failed, and there are still so many more. Even if I fail at all, I'll make soup for Aman to help her recover." Long Chen smiled and said, to ease Meng Qi's psychological pressure, he took out all thirty-six skeletons from the remains.
Fortunately, the formation was supporting the area, so the aura hadn't leaked out. Otherwise, even the aura of those bones would have changed the color of heaven and earth, causing a sensation.
While Mengqi was surprised, her nervousness eased considerably. With so many Nether Beasts failing one by one, she wasn't afraid.
Thinking of this, Meng Qi formed a hand seal with her jade-like hand, a pattern appeared on her brow, and she extended her jade hand, sending a gentle light to the beast's head.
"Buzz!"
The beast's body trembled violently, followed by a fierce, violent aura. Long Chen's expression changed, and with a swift movement, he shielded Meng Qi behind him.
"Not good, it's going to self-destruct."
