"Boom!"
The giant rhinoceros was knocked down by Long Chen's punch, the ground shattered, sending boundless earth waves unleashed. Even the other three thirteenth-tier ferocious beasts rushing in from behind were knocked down together.
"Damn!" Guo Ran's
jaw nearly dropped to the ground. That fierce thirteenth-tier beast had once left the three of them utterly embarrassed by the slaughter.
Yue Zifeng's sword energy slashed its neck, only slashing a single wound, unable to cause a fatal injury.
Now, this terrifying giant had been knocked down by Long Chen with a single punch. The scene was simply unbelievable—after all, it was a terrifying thirteenth-tier ferocious beast.
The terrifying giant rhinoceros was knocked down by Long Chen's punch, but his arm was also drenched in blood.
"As expected, it still won't work. The power is too violent and uncontrollable. No matter how careful you are, it's useless." Long Chen looked at his arm, still battered and bloodied from the shock, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Yet, within that sigh, there was also a sense of delight.
The power of the six-star battle body was overwhelming, giving him endless hope. Once he could fully master it, he would fear no one.
"Whew"
Long Chen withdrew from his six-star state, his Dragonbone Evil Moon blade slashing toward the giant rhinoceros's neck, and shouted sharply:
"Zifeng!"
Yue Zifeng immediately understood, drawing his sword, A flying rainbow shot out.
"Crack!"
Long Chen slashed down with his blade, and the Dragon Bone Evil Moon struck the rhinoceros's thick neck hard. A cracking sound rang out, accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.
Long Chen sliced through the rhinoceros's bones with one stroke, but this thirteenth-tier beast was so terrifying that he could only sever its neck bone, not the bone.
"Pfft"
But just as Long Chen slashed with his blade, Yue Zifeng struck precisely at the wound, blood splattering, and the mountain-like head was actually severed by Yue Zifeng.
"Impressive."
Long Chen was startled. He had thought that if Yue Zifeng could completely sever the rhinoceros's neck bone with a single sword, that would already be quite impressive. But Long Chen's blade could only cut through flesh and bone, leaving a gap in the neck.
As long as Yue Zifeng could sever its neck bone, even if it survived, it would lose its combat capability. But unexpectedly, Yue Zifeng's sword energy was so sharp, severing his head with a single strike.
"It was all thanks to the boss's guidance, and the shackles that had troubled me for years were finally broken through in one go." Yue Zifeng also said excitedly.
When Long Chen unleashed the true essence of the eighth form of the Heaven-Opening Technique, a sudden flash of inspiration flashed through Yue Zifeng's mind, like a sudden enlightenment, instantly grasping its meaning.
Yue Zifeng's persistence and comprehension in swordsmanship were truly terrifying. Long Chen had just comprehended it, and he too instantly grasped it.
The sword technique's attack power was even more terrifying. Yue Zifeng's sword struck down, its sharpness unstoppable.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Aman slammed the bolt onto a golden eagle, sending him flying backward, and the eagle was knocked backward.
"Again."
"Good!"
"Pfft."
Long Chen and Yue Zifeng seized the opportunity. They attacked again, one on the left and one on the right, a sword aura and a blade shadow breaking down. The divine feathers on the golden eagle's neck flew down, blood energy filling the sky, and the two severed its head.
Yue Zifeng slashed out two times in quick succession, a blush appearing on his face. His long sword trembled as he prepared to attack the third Thirteenth Tier.
"Zifeng stops, fall back."
Long Chen suddenly shouted. Yue Zifeng was stunned, not understanding what Long Chen meant, but he quickly retreated.
Long Chen reached out and grabbed Aman, quickly retreating, but didn't forget to collect the two corpses on the ground.
"Guo Ran attack!"
Long Chen shouted. With a sharp shout, countless arrows rained down like a rain of light, shooting straight at the beasts behind him.
"Puff puff puff...
When the arrow pierced the bodies of the ferocious beasts, they let out piercing screams and fell to the ground, wailing in frenzy. The venomous bones of the poisonous dragons released venom inside their bodies. Even the most powerful beasts couldn't hold on; some struggled for just a few breaths before being poisoned to death.
"Boss, I ..."
Yue Zifeng was speeding when he suddenly felt the world spinning. It was like he was about to faint, and he was shocked.
"Your soul is damaged. Those two sword strikes just now must have been awkward and have some flaws.
My blade technique may not be the same as your sword intent, so you can only use it as a reference, not imitate. Long Chen said.
When Yue Zifeng struck with his second sword, Long Chen immediately sensed something was wrong. Yue Zifeng's soul power was only average.
Because sword cultivators do not cultivate themselves, souls, or techniques, but only the sword in their hands, aside from swordsmanship, their physique and soul are extremely poor.
The eighth form of the Heaven-Opening Technique is dominated by dominance, based on vast soul power, running counter to the lightness and grace of swordsmanship. Although Yue Zifeng has extremely high comprehension and instantly mastered this power,
But without careful consideration and practice, recklessly using such terrifying moves and straying from the way of the sword will cause backlash.
This was also why Long Chen had to retreat immediately—he was afraid of being surrounded by ferocious beasts. He had to take care of both Aman and Yue Zifeng, fearing something might happen.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion. Sure enough, even the most violent tier thirteen ferocious beasts couldn't withstand the venom's corrosion.
A dazzling tiger, covered in arrows like a hedgehog, finally collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Its entire body was covered with tens of thousands of poisoned arrows—a typical ant-bitten elephant. Even though its defense was terrifying, arrows could only pierce the skin and couldn't cause fatal harm, but the poison was too great for it to endure.
"Roar!"
The other thirteenth-tier ferocious beast couldn't withstand it either, letting out a resentful roar and falling to the ground.
The ferocious beasts that rushed out of the passage all fell to the ground, and soon their corpses piled up like mountains.
"Aman, hold your ground and quickly clean up the battlefield." Long Chen shouted, ordering the Luoling Clan warriors to block the passage, and instructing some people to quickly clean up the battlefield and take the bodies away.
"Rumble rumble... The
passage roared and exploded, more and more ferocious beasts flew out. Long Chen immediately ordered a retreat.
Long Chen and the others withdrew from the light screen, but the valley was quickly packed with ferocious beasts. Among them were more than a dozen thirteenth-tier beasts, roaring madly but not daring to break through the blue light screen.
Long Chen led the group away, found a secluded spot, and began to take stock of their gains.
"Zifeng, are you alright?" Long Chen asked.
"Boss, I might need to go into seclusion for a while to fully digest these insights." Yue Zifeng said.
Long Chen nodded and directly told him to teleport back to the mother tree, where it would be best to seclude himself. Once Yue Zifeng fully fused and comprehended it, Long Chen believed Yue Zifeng's combat power would become even more terrifying.
All four thirteenth-tier beasts were in Aman's hands. Aman was thrilled, but he couldn't eat them all in one bite.
This terrifying flesh and blood needed to be digested slowly, eating only a small amount at a time. Fortunately, Aman wasn't afraid of poison, so he could eat those two poisoned beasts too.
Meanwhile, Long Chen had collected a massive number of ferocious beast corpses. Previously, when Long Chen used the Six-Star Battle Body to repair his arm, he extracted the life force of the Tianlin Demon Tree. Now, the Tianlin Demon Tree was once again beginning to wither on a large scale.
But now that Long Chen had tens of millions of ferocious beast corpses, this loss was negligible.
There were so many beast corpses that the black soil couldn't even devour them in time. Long Chen piled all these beasts onto the black soil, creating a mountain tens of thousands of miles high.
As the black soil slowly devoured it, endless vitality was released, and the Tianlin Demon Tree began to grow wildly.
Now that the mother tree could no longer be targeted, Long Chen could only rely on these Tianlin demon trees to produce dishes. From now on, they would be Long Chen's lifeline.
Originally, the Tianlin Demon Tree was only a hundred zhang tall. Once its life force fully recovered, it began to grow wildly. The vitality of these ferocious beasts was far beyond that of those corpse-eating armored spiders.
As the corpse was devoured and a massive amount of life force was released, the Tianlin Demon Tree grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"One hundred zhang... Two hundred zhang... Three hundred zhang ..." Long Chen watched with excitement. After more than an hour, all the beast corpses had been absorbed, and the Tianlin Demon Tree had grown to a thousand zhang tall.
Its height had increased tenfold, but its vitality was more than a hundred times greater than before. After reaching a thousand zhang, the Tianlin Demon Tree finally shed its sapling state and began to spread branches and leaves on a large scale.
Previously, it split into two forks and shot up rapidly, but after reaching a thousand zhang, not only did it start to grow upward, but it also started spreading outward.
"Let's go, to the Poison Dragon's Nest."
Long Chen was so excited he almost shouted to the sky. If the Tianlin Demon Tree had grown this large during the last battle, Long Chen would have been able to sweep across the entire battlefield.
Even if he was injured while repairing, it would be enough to wear them down. As long as he wasn't instantly killed, he would be considered immortal.
Moreover, the Dao wounds left inside his body left even the Mother Tree helpless. But now, as the Heavenly Lin Demon Tree grew and repaired its body, those wounds healed quickly, and now Long Chen had fully returned to peak condition.
When everyone returned to the Poison Dragon's Lair, Long Chen's soul power had almost fully recovered. The Dragon Bone Evil Moon once again unleashed its dragon might, and Guo Ran and the others followed to pick up the corpses and collect the Poison Bone Poison Sac.
This time, following the abyss forward all the way, Long Chen finally saw the massive Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
However, by this point, Long Chen's soul power had been depleted. After cleaning up the battlefield, before the poison dragon could arrive, they all withdrew together.
After returning to the valley, he made poisoned arrows again, killing the beasts. When the arrows were used up, he returned to the dragon's lair, repeating the cycle.
After seven whole days, Long Chen had killed countless poisonous dragons and collected countless ferocious beast corpses.
Anyway, just the corpses of thirteenth-tier beasts in Aman's hands alone numbered over 230, not counting what he had eaten in the middle.
The Tianlin tree demons in the chaotic space were lush and flourishing, standing tall like a canopy, growing thousands of miles tall.
Each Tianlin Demon Tree contained an astonishing vitality. At this moment, Long Chen seemed to possess an endless source of life, no longer afraid of getting hurt.
"Boss, kill all the poison dragons." Inside the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, Guo Ran shrugged and said.
"Unfortunately, the power of the four divine bones has been drained; otherwise, so many poisonous dragons wouldn't have been nurtured." Long Chen said with some regret.
"Alright, have Zhao Ritian come out and work to absorb this Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. The immortal gold contained inside is quite substantial."
