"What are you doing? Don't be impulsive. "Dragon Bone Evil Moon screamed in terror, feeling Long Chen was going mad and wondering what terrible thing he might do.
"Rumble... Inside
the divine ring behind Long Chen, a pentagram formed by the power of life and death exploded with a roar, and Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you crazy? You actually want to forcibly change the operation of the cultivation technique?" Dragon Bone Xie Yue exclaimed.
You have to know, this is the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique. Even the Dragon Bone Evil Moon is filled with fear. It's a technique with an extremely terrifying origin.
And after Long Chen got the order wrong, he actually wanted to forcibly change the foundation of his technique. Was he trying to modify the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique?
Each inherited cultivation method has been cultivated by countless generations, preserved through the passage of time.
It can be said that they have been tempered countless times and recognized by the Heavenly Dao before being passed down. Each technique has been perfected to the utmost.
Not to mention the terrifying technique like the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique—even ordinary combat techniques are completely solidified and almost impossible to change.
The possibility of changing a cultivation technique is extremely low—even harder than creating one. And Long Chen, just a rookie at the Tongming Realm, actually wants to alter the terrifying Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique. This is practically courting death.
Dragonbone Evil Moon screamed wildly, but Long Chen completely ignored him. Knowing Long Chen's temperament, once he made up his mind, no one could change it. After shouting for a while, he could only sigh sadly and fall silent.
"Rumble rumble rumble... The
divine ring behind Long Chen trembled, pentagram patterns kept appearing and shattering, blood spraying wildly, frightening Guo Ran from afar into rushing over.
Long Chen signaled Guo Ran to step back. He had no other path now. Without his dantian, he couldn't cultivate other techniques. The Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique was his only path to cultivation.
"Transform for me!"
Long Chen roared, unleashing the power of 108,000 stars. At the same time, the six stars trembled, pulling at the five-pointed star pattern and forcibly changing its shape.
"Crack, crack...
Suddenly, Long Chen's whole body cracked, as if it might burst at any moment.
"Long Chen, stop! A technique of this level can't be changed by anyone, not even a god." Dragonbone Xie Yue finally couldn't hold back and shouted, 'If this keeps up, Long Chen will die.'
"I don't believe that since it chose me, it shouldn't have toyed with me like this.
Since it belongs to me, it must be used by me, not controlled by it. I am who I am, and no one can control me.
I want to make a bet with it. I bet it will obey me. From now on, the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique will belong to me, Long Chen. Long Chen gritted his teeth, vaguely understanding something.
But he couldn't be sure. Now he had no choice but to gamble: if he won, he could continue on; if he lost, everything would be over.
"Rumble... All
of Long Chen's spiritual essence, soul, and flesh power poured into the 108,000 stars, surging toward the six stars.
Previously, the power of the Six Stars would blossom, surge into 108,000 stars, and finally merge into Long Chen's body, but this time it was completely the opposite.
The six stars trembled, the void roared and exploded, and the violent power crushed the pentagram pattern inside the divine ring, forcing it to submit.
The pentagram pattern shattered again and again, each time severely injuring Long Chen's body, cracking all over. Moreover, such damage could not be repaired even by the life force within the chaotic space.
Perhaps this came from the same kind of power, or a form of self-harm, different from all previous wounds. If this continued, Long Chen might really die.
But Long Chen remained unmoved. Even without repair, he stubbornly held on, frantically crushing the pentagram.
But the pentagram pattern shattered dozens of times, but each time it shattered, it would reform along the original specific path and never changed.
Long Chen was covered in blood, his body shattered and on the verge of collapse. In the distance, Guo Ran was terrified and at a loss, not knowing what had happened.
After failing dozens of times in a row, anyone else would have been disheartened long ago, but Long Chen still didn't give up. He firmly believed he would succeed.
"Boom boom boom...
The failures continued, each one worsening Long Chen's body, and the ground beneath his feet was stained red with his blood.
Dragon Bone Xie Yue wanted to persuade Long Chen to give up, but he understood Long Chen well. To give up and change meant giving up fighting fate and giving up all hope.
With his cultivation path cut off, his combat power could never advance in his lifetime. For proud Long Chen, he would rather die than accept such a result.
If Long Chen could no longer cultivate, forget about ideals or ambitions—once he left the Star Domain Divine Realm, Long Chen and his Dragon Blood Legion would be met with a miserable death at the hands of the enemy.
Long Chen had no choice but to take a gamble, but after spending so much time with him, Dragonbone Xie Yue knew his luck all too well.
"Yun Shang, as the first emperor, you mustn't misjudge him." In the heart of Longgu Xie Yue, a silent sigh escaped as it prayed for Long Chen.
"Crack, crack, crack... Long
Chen's body cracked open like a porcelain bottle, reaching a certain limit. By now, he had already failed ninety-nine times.
"It doesn't matter if I fail ninety-nine times, as long as I try one more time... I can just ... Round it up. Long Chen wanted to grit his teeth, but he didn't even have the strength to do so.
His body was shattered to pieces, as if he was no longer his own. Now, with just a light punch from someone, he would shatter instantly.
Now, Long Chen's power was nearly exhausted, and the remaining strength was only enough to crush the pentagram once more.
The previous ninety-eight crushing attempts were essentially a repeat of the first failure—his strength reached its limit, and his body reached its limit. This was Long Chen's last.
Giving up, still alive, choosing to continue, the chance of success is almost zero, because until the ninety-ninth attempt, the pentagram showed no sign of yielding.
At this moment, most people hesitate, but Long Chen didn't hesitate; he chose to make the most of it.
"Boom!" Suddenly,
the pentagram pattern inside the divine ring shattered, and Long Chen's body trembled violently. After the star shattered, it slowly healed again.
Long Chen's body could no longer hold on and slowly collapsed. He felt his body begin to disintegrate, his consciousness sinking into boundless darkness.
"Did it fail?" I'm really sorry to everyone. "
Long Chen's consciousness sank into endless darkness, sinking endlessly, as if plunging into an endless hell.
"You are you, you are not you, yet why are you so persistent? Never give up? In
the endless darkness, a faint sigh rang out, its voice full of tenderness yet tinged with sorrow.
"Cough, cough..."
A sudden burst of violent coughing pulled Long Chen back to the real world from the endless darkness, and in that instant, intense pain spread throughout his body.
"I... Still alive. "Feeling pain is a good thing.
"Boss... Wake up. Seeing Long Chen wake up, Guo Ran's voice choked with emotion.
"Help me up. Lying on my stomach like this makes it hard for me to catch my breath." Long Chen said weakly, feeling completely drained of strength in his body.
Only then did Guo Ran carefully lift Long Chen up and find him something to lean on, making him feel a bit more comfortable.
"Boss, are you possessed?" Guo Ran said somewhat fearfully.
He had been watching Long Chen self-harm from the side, not knowing what Long Chen was about to do. When Long Chen suddenly collapsed to the ground, he ran over and found Long Chen had lost all breath, and even his soul fire was extremely weak, ready to go out at any moment.
At this moment, Guo Ran panicked, but he didn't know how to heal and was afraid that reckless treatment might end up killing Long Chen. Guo Ran's mind went blank, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, Long Chen had just collapsed and slowly woke up.
"Damn it, I still failed. Once I recover, I'll continue." Long Chen took a deep breath, and as soon as he did, he immediately felt intense pain in his wound.
Long Chen habitually drew the power of the chaotic space to heal his injuries. But just as he did, he realized that even the chaos space was powerless to heal such injuries. Suddenly, he noticed his body began to heal rapidly. After a few breaths, all his wounds had healed. Except for his spiritual energy and soul power still in a depleted state, his body was just as normal.
"This ..."
Long Chen was both surprised and delighted, not knowing what was happening, and hurriedly swallowed several pills to restore his strength.
Once his stamina was restored, he immediately summoned a divine ring to quickly restore his strength. However, when the divine ring was summoned, Long Chen sensed something was wrong—his aura was surprisingly different from before.
"Entered the Tenth Heaven?"
Long Chen noticed his aura surged dramatically; his spiritual energy was more condensed than before, and his soul power had grown stronger—a sign only after advancing.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen slowly circulated the power of life and death, discovering that the energy stored within his body was almost depleted. As he activated it, six star phantoms slowly appeared within the divine ring.
At this moment, his state was not a six-star battle body, but a cultivation state. A faint five-pointed star pattern appeared again within the divine ring.
"Whew." However,
this pentagram pattern no longer had its own will. As Long Chen's soul power suppressed it, it instantly deformed, as smooth as water.
Moreover, the six-star star was slowly absorbing its power, and soon that bit of life-and-death power was drained dry.
"Congratulations, you succeeded." Dragonbone Xie Yue sighed, his voice full of disbelief. It couldn't understand how Long Chen managed to do it. Logically, this should be impossible.
"Hahaha, it worked."
Suddenly, Long Chen let out a long, sky-high howl, his voice echoing for thousands of miles, shaking the mountains with a roar. At that moment, Long Chen was so moved he was about to cry.
Only those who have experienced despair know how moving that feeling is when they regain hope. In that moment, Long Chen was filled with confidence in the future.
"Long Chen, there were things I shouldn't say now, but I still couldn't hold myself back." Dragonbone Xie Yue hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke.
"Speak, I know. You're going to crush me, aren't you?" Long Chen smiled, as if he had guessed what Dragon Bone Xie Yue was thinking.
"That's right. Today you changed the cultivation method of your cultivation method, which might also mean you will completely deviate from the path of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique." Dragonbone Xie Yue said in a deep voice.
