This time, they collected over 800,000 poison dragon corpses. After all these corpses were thrown into the black soil and digested, Long Chen's Tianlin Demon Tree was already bursting with vitality.
This made Long Chen breathe a sigh of relief. With the Tianlin Demon Tree, he could barely activate his six-star battle body and have a trump card for survival, which made him feel much more at ease.
Although the Tianlin Demon Tree had not fully recovered yet, it already gave him considerable confidence.
"Let's go."
Long Chen led Qili and the others, the runes on their chests trembling as they instantly teleported to the valley where ferocious beasts gathered.
When they appeared in the valley, they found that Gu Yang and the others had all disappeared.
"Boss, over here."
Behind a pile of ruins, Long Chen spotted Guo Ran. Seeing Guo Ran, he was startled—Guo Ran was covered in blood, and his battle armor was severely damaged, nearly shattered.
"What's going on? This bad? Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Boss, if you weren't my real boss, I might even think you were going to screw us down. We were attacked by four thirteenth-tier ferocious beasts and nearly lost our lives.
If Aman hadn't been strong enough at the critical moment, breaking the golden eagle's wing, we wouldn't even have had a chance to escape. Guo Ran almost burst into tears. Since entering the Star Domain Divine Realm, this was the unluckiest time he'd ever had—he nearly lost his life.
"Four thirteenth-tier ferocious beasts?" Long Chen gasped, and even the Luoling Clan warriors behind him broke out in a cold sweat for the three of them. These three were truly reckless.
Only then did Long Chen poke his head out and look toward the distant valley. He discovered that the valley was stained with blood, and after a bloody battle, some corpses remained in the valley.
Countless ferocious beasts had gathered in the valley, watching their surroundings warily, but none of the thirteenth-tier beasts had noticed.
It turned out that the three had killed a thirteenth-tier beast and actually lured out four terrifying beasts from the passage, nearly killing Guo Ran with a blow.
Yue Zifeng slashed with his sword repeatedly, but the beasts were too terrifying to inflict fatal damage. Yue Zifeng was nearly struck by the wings of a golden eagle, making it extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, Aman was tough enough to break the golden eagle's wing with a single bolt, allowing the three to shake off the other three thirteenth-tier beasts and successfully escape the valley domain.
After escaping, the three never dared to go in again. If they had gone any deeper, surrounded by beasts from behind, they might have died here today. At that moment, their lives were hanging by a thread.
Now that they had escaped, the three of them obediently stayed here, not daring to move. Aman held the slain thirteenth-tier beast and kept gnawing on it, munching on it, his mouth covered in blood and filth.
"Boss, this place is terrifying. Even if they can't escape the blue light screen's coverage, we still can't take them down." Guo Ran said, having just provoked four thirteenth-tier fierce beasts at once, who knows how many such beings are still inside that bottomless passage?
"Don't worry, I've already gotten some good stuff."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he tossed the poison sacs, each about the size of a house, as if wrapped in ink, to Guo Ran.
"This is ... Venom from the Poison Dragon? Guo Ran carefully opened a poison sac, only to find that the venom inside had no scent at all, which was very strange.
"Xie Yue said that the poisonous dragons here have long been fed on evil insects, so their venom is even stronger than those of the dragon corpses commanded by the Devouring Heaven Evil King."
You just need to immerse the mist in it, and the poison quenching can be completed instantly. I've tried it—it's very convenient. Long Chen said.
Guo Ran took out an arrow, placed the tip in the venom, and when he took it out, the tip was pitch black—the venom could automatically dissolve into the steel.
"Wow, that's so convenient."
Guo Ran was overjoyed, immediately took out a large number of arrows, took out containers, and poured the venom into a large jar. The Luoling warriors rushed over to help.
Long Chen warned everyone to be careful. The venom from the skulls of these poisonous dragons was extremely toxic. If the poisoned arrows pierced their skin, it would kill them instantly.
The Luoling Clan warriors also knew this thing was terrifying; they preferred to slow down rather than be careless.
With the help of the Luoling Clan warriors in tempering the poison, everything became much simpler. Long Chen called Guo Ran over and had him crush the confiscated poison spikes, claws, and fangs into tiny bone spikes.
The arrows of the Luoling tribe are all wooden, imbued with sacred power, and have terrifying armor-piercing effects. However, they are immune to all poisons and cannot be poisoned by wooden arrows.
But these stingers, claws, and fangs were the dragon's sharpest weapons, already infiltrated by venom in every corner.
They each have three types of toxins: stinging, paralyzing, and corroding. Once crushed, once these bone fragments pierce flesh and blood, they automatically secrete terrifying venom until all the venom is completely released.
So these poisonous stingers, claws, and fangs are the truly terrifying weapons. Long Chen asked Guo Ran to help process them, then tie these bone fragments to wooden arrows. Once shot into a fierce beast, even a thirteenth-tier beast could be killed if shot too often.
In this way, millions of Luoling Clan warriors became Long Chen's most capable assistants. Guo Ran was responsible for crushing the poisonous bones, while the Luoling Clan warriors were responsible for crafting the arrows of the poisonous bones.
With many people, there is strength. In just half a day, the poison tempering and poison arrows were completed. Guo Ran was instantly brimming with confidence. Just as he was about to rush into the valley, he suddenly said very politely, "
Boss, for this kind of show-off task, you should handle it. I'll hold you back."
Long Chen curled his lips. Suddenly, this guy realized his armor had collapsed and was no longer able to charge into battle.
"You and Qili are in charge of controlling the pace of battle. All I need to do is fight Zifeng and Aman."
Long Chen, holding the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, was the first to charge into the valley, followed closely by Aman and Yue Zifeng.
"Roar!"
As soon as Long Chen appeared, countless beasts in the valley immediately roared, watching him through the blue light screen. Their eyes flashed with ferocity, as if waiting for Long Chen to arrive and tear him to pieces.
"Eighth Form of Heaven-Opening"
"Buzz!"
Long Chen shouted sharply. The Evil Moon of the Dragon Bone slashed horizontally, shooting out a black crescent moon. At its beginning, the crescent moon was only a few zhang long, but as it advanced, it grew larger and larger.
Long Chen followed the crescent moon and charged forward. As the crescent grew larger, a terrifying roar shook the heavens and earth.
"Only now do I understand the essence of the eighth form the old man mentioned: the blade detaches from the body, the spirit attaches within; only the attacks struck have soul.
I've tried before but never found that feeling. But today, I actually found it. Could it be related to unlocking six-star mode? Long Chen was secretly delighted.
The crescent moon left his body, but as Long Chen continued forward, his divine sense remained attached to the crescent moon. Long Chen noticed that after the crescent moon left his body, his soul underwent a subtle change.
Previously, when performing the eighth form of the Heavenly Opening Technique, once the crescent moon left the body, its power would continuously weaken. In fact, the strongest force of the eighth form should be at the moment of slashing, when the crescent seemed to part but was not yet separated.
Because he leftThe long blade starts to spread its power and expands its attack range, but if you can't concentrate your strength, it weakens. This is a common flaw in all combat skills—there's no solution.
But in fierce battles between strong opponents, there is basically no chance for close combat, so large-scale attacks are essentially a form of offense replacing defense.
Why are assassins so terrifying? It's because their attacks are concentrated and unleashed at a single point, making them the most lethal.
But no matter how deadly the attack, it can't get close to the opponent and is meaningless. So what terrifies an assassin most isn't necessarily their attacks, but their unpredictable movements.
Except for killer attacks, almost all attacks can evolve into area attacks. Once an area attack leaves the body, it slips out of control—this is common knowledge.
But today, Long Chen finally understood the realm the old man had mentioned before: after the eighth form of the Heaven Opening leaves the body, the technique is divided into divine union. With the blessing of the mind, he can continue to empower the crescent moon.
"Rumble rumble... The
larger the crescent moon, the louder the roar of the space became, as if Long Chen had sliced the entire world in two with a single stroke.
Guo Ran and Yue Zifeng were dumbfounded. They had seen Long Chen perform the Eighth Form of Heaven countless times, but never witnessed such a terrifying sight.
The crescent condensed and wouldn't disperse, the sky was torn apart, and its aura grew increasingly terrifying, still growing stronger. This had already surpassed the scope of combat techniques they understood.
"Buzz!" Finally,
Crescent Moon charged in front of those ferocious beasts, tearing through the blue light screen.
"Puff puff puff... Wherever
the moon blade passed, the ferocious beasts were sliced in two like sharp blades slicing through tofu, blood spraying into the sky.
What shocked them most was that while Long Chen's attacks usually exploded with a thunderous roar at this moment, this time was different. The crescent giant blade was razor-sharp, actually charging forward over the corpse of a giant beast.
Long Chen sprinted wildly, his divine sense empowering the tens of thousands of miles of moon blade. In that instant, he seemed to be the ruler of heaven and earth, possessing the power to split heaven and earth. All the paths of the world were to be used by him. The feeling was indescribable and hard to describe.
Long Chen's spiritual power was pushed to its limit; he had to fully withstand this strike and fully comprehend this power. If he couldn't, whether he could strike again next time would depend on luck.
"Puff puff puff...
Long Chen charged forward with the Moon Blade at full speed. Countless ferocious beasts, like rows of radishes, were neatly harvested. The sight stunned the Luoling warriors—the scene was simply astonishing.
"Oh my god, truly worthy of being the child of prophecy—he's getting more and more terrifying." A powerful member of the Luoling Clan exclaimed in amazement.
The Luoling Clan also had strong cultivators who had seen Long Chen's Eighth Form of Heaven-Opening before, but this time, its power was far greater than the last.
In just a few days, the same move had undergone a dramatic transformation, leaving one amazed at Long Chen's talent and comprehension—he had grown so quickly.
"Puff puff puff...
The massive moon blade swept across the entire valley, finally exploding with a thunderous explosion, turning into a shower of runes. After the runes tilted, not a single living beast remained in the valley, wiped out in one strike.
"Damn, the boss is getting more and more twisted." Guo Ran was stunned; this was just too scary.
"Roar!"
At that moment, a violent roar echoed from the passage at the end of the valley, and countless ferocious beasts surged out like a tsunami.
"Boss, be careful, those four guys are coming out." Guo Ran shouted. From the beast tide, he saw four figures who had once nearly killed them.
"Six-Star Battle Body, activate!"
With a sharp shout, six stars lit up from the divine ring behind him, and a violent aura erupted. Facing the charging giant rhinoceros, Long Chen smashed his fist at its forehead.
