Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "No one taught me, and no one reminded me. I was always left to fend for myself."
And after fighting that Nine Star successor, I knew I had already strayed from the cultivation path of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique.
Now that I've completely deviated, it may not be a bad thing. In other words, starting from the sixth star, I'll be in charge. "
You're really big-hearted. Although I don't know the origin of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, it's definitely the most terrifying technique I've ever seen.
When my power merges with yours, my soul is tightly bound, unable to resist at all.
Such a terrifying cultivation technique has already disrupted your cultivation path. Do you think you have the ability to deduce another set of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique based on this foundation? "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said irritably.
"I said I could, do you believe me?" Long Chen said calmly.
"I don't believe it," Dragonbone Xie Yue answered without hesitation.
"I don't believe it either."
"What the hell is this time? You still have the mood to joke?" Dragonbone Xie Yue said angrily.
"Hahaha, who cares about it? No matter what, the Six-Star Battle Body has already taken shape, corresponding to a realm above Tongming.
As for the path above Tongming and above, hehe, when the carriage reaches the mountain, there will always be a way. There will definitely be a way. Long Chen laughed heartily, caring less about it all. Moreover, by changing the nine-star cultivation path this time, he seemed to see another path—a path full of infinite possibilities.
Originally, when cultivating the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, Long Chen was feeling his way across the river, trembling and scheming to guess.
Now, the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique was essentially his cultivation method. The road ahead was in his own hands, and he actually enjoyed this feeling even more.
Although he knew the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique was an extremely terrifying technique, and trying to cultivate it by a different path was nearly impossible, Long Chen preferred to keep the initiative in his own hands.
"Whew."
After a short rest, his soul power and spiritual essence had both recovered by thirty percent. Long Chen resumed frantically taking pills.
Seeing that Long Chen was fine, Guo Ran continued to take Zhao Ritian to mine. After three days, the divine ring behind Long Chen roared again.
The five-pointed star pattern burst forth with explosive light, but was crushed by the power of the six-star and then devoured by it. The six stars trembled violently, divine light flickered, and the 108,000 stars within Long Chen were illuminated by divine light, glowing with divine radiance.
Long Chen's aura surged again, and he clearly felt his flesh becoming even more solid. Long Chen knew this was because after the hundred-eight thousand stars grew larger, the world's power became stronger, and his flesh and blood power also rose accordingly.
This is a characteristic of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique: when the world's power surges, the six stars within Long Chen—Fengfu, Yuheng, Siming, Gongqi, Shenguan, and Mingmen—release sacred power, circulating within him and forming a feedback loop.
This allowed Long Chen's flesh and blood power to fully control the world power of one hundred eight thousand stars. Long Chen's power, the power of one hundred eight thousand stars, and the power of the six stars were mysteriously interconnected, complementing each other.
"Eleventh Heaven."
Long Chen finally understood that the latter three heavens of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique were meant to balance his physical body and the power among the six stars of 108,000 stars.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Long Chen clenched his fists, crackling through his bones, like thunder crashing.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen threw a punch, the void surging, and the violent wind of his punch shattered a mountain before him.
It was a mine, extremely solid. Although Guo Ran had extracted most of the immortal gold, being shattered by a single punch of wind meant Long Chen's power had reached a terrifying level.
"Your realm has increased by two levels, and your physical strength has increased by about thirty percent. Based on past experience, after reaching the Ninth Heaven, each higher realm doubles your strength." Long Chen felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
Obviously, the improvement is not as high as before, indicating that the effect of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique is declining, which is not a good start.
"Forget it, let's continue."
Long Chen shook his head. Since he had already chosen this path, thinking about meaningless things again would only bring trouble upon himself and would not solve the problem at all.
Even so, Long Chen still had three realms above others, already enjoying a huge advantage.
Ten days later, Long Chen hadn't yet advanced to the Twelfth Heaven, but Guo Ran had already drained almost all the mineral veins and moved to another location.
The other place was a desert, with ore veins beneath it. Guo Ran led Zhao Ritian underground to mine, while Long Chen continued devouring pills.
After another seven days, Long Chen's six stars lit up again, his violent aura rising, and he finally entered the twelfth heaven.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen swung his fists repeatedly, dust and sand swirling everywhere, the void trembling, and swirling up clouds of dust.
After a while, Long Chen withdrew his fist, a satisfied smile appearing on his face: "My physical strength is nearly twice as strong as before." Now
that the pills had been devoured completely, the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace and Demon Moon Furnace were still desperately refining. Once there were enough pills, Long Chen could break through to Tongming.
Long Chen had originally worried about not catching up to others' realms. If Ye Ming, Feng Fei, and others broke through to Tongming ahead of time, while he remained at Tongming, that would be troublesome.
But now there's no need to worry, because in the Star Domain Divine Realm, no one dares to break through to Tongming here. Before Long Chen entered the Star Domain Divine Realm, the old man and Qu Jianying had repeatedly reminded him that advancement could only return to the Tianwu Continent.
But as for the specific reason, they didn't say it, as if there was some taboo. Now that Long Chen had advanced to the Twelfth Heaven of Tongming, it was equivalent to someone else's Ninth Heaven. He was just one step away from breaking through to the next realm.
But no one knew what the next realm was. Even the older generation of experts didn't mention it, leaving countless people full of curiosity.
In the following days, Xia Chen also arrived. He emerged from the mother tree's secluded cultivation and immediately came to meet up with Mo Nian.
With Xia Chen's formation assistance, Zhao Ritian's mining speed increased several times. After ten days, most of the four major mineral veins had been mined.
According to the mother tree's magic, mining should not take light. Veins are spiritual and can regenerate, provided the vein seeds cannot be taken away, so the world's balance is not disturbed.
Guo Ran and the others felt deeply ashamed. In the past, they would mine everything completely and had no idea that veins could regenerate. Thinking back to their previous methods, it felt like they were completely wiped out.
After returning to the mother tree, Guo Ran and Xia Chen immediately conducted a second round of refining the immortal gold, though the main weapon was still Zhao Ritian.
Zhao Ritian not only had the ability to collect immortal gold, but also possessed powerful skills for refining it. Otherwise, his original immortal gold wouldn't be so powerful.
Xia Chen and Guo Ran took turns squeezing Zhao Ritian, forcing him to continuously refine primordial immortal gold. Weapons and armor forged from primordial immortal metal, combined with powerful runes, had attack and defense power even stronger than Zhao Ritian's own defense.
With Zhao Ritian around, everything seemed so convenient. Hundreds of the purest immortal metals, forged by Guo Ran, became treasured swords and armor, allowing hundreds of sets to be made in a single day.
Zhao Ritian screamed and cursed every day, but Guo Ran and Xia Chen joked and joked around, completely ignoring it and relentlessly draining his strength. Zhao Ritian didn't even have a moment to blink; he felt like he was about to break down.
He even had the urge to die, trying to self-destruct several times. But with Xia Chen, the formation master, around, as soon as he gathered his power, an alarm would sound, instantly losing his power.
Moreover, after several failed attempts at suicide, Xia Chen devised another formation. Each time he charged up, the Forging Hammer would automatically strike him. In their hands, Zhao Ritian felt unable to survive or die, as if he had entered a hell.
Zhao Ritian hated the two of them deeply, but Xia Chen and Guo Ran loved him to death. With Zhao Ritian, they felt life was so wonderful. Refining immortal gold was the most tedious, tedious, and time-consuming task, but with Zhao Ritian around, everything was solved.
This time, the new armor and weapons of the Dragonblood warriors were all forged from Zhao Ritian's primordial immortal metal. Their defense and lethality were several times stronger than before, because they could carry even stronger runes. Even Guo Ran and Xia Chen could not estimate how terrifying the combat power would be when the Dragonblood warriors were equipped with the new armor.
Guo Ran's own battle armor and saber had refined Zhao Ritian's primordial immortal gold twice.
It should be noted that Zhao Ritian's primordial immortal gold was already extremely pure immortal metal, and Guo Ran had spent a great deal of time and effort refining it twice. This set of armor would be the strongest Guo Ran had ever forged.
While Guo Ran and Xia Chen were busy forging their armor, Mengqi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, and others also emerged from seclusion. After coming out, each of them was radiant, their auras round, and they had all reached the Great Perfection of Tongming. They already possessed the strength to break through Tongming Above that level.
What Long Chen didn't expect was that Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang had also returned, though both were still secluded atop the mother tree.
However, after the two returned, they brought shocking news: they had met Dongfang Yuyang.
"What?"
Long Chen was shocked. How is this possible? Dongfang Yuyang was clearly killed by him—how could he possibly encounter him again?
"Miss Nangong said this is absolutely true. The two even fought fiercely with Dongfang Yuyang, and Miss Beitang was injured, so they returned here." Ziyan spoke, clearly shocked by the incident, but Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang could not have misread it.
Besides, they've already fought. If it's just an imposter, with their strength, they can definitely see through it.
"Dongfang Yuyang?" Have real skill. Long Chen nodded. There must be something fishy about this—he actually deceived everyone.
"But it's okay. If I can kill him once, I can kill him twice." Long Chen said.
"No need, I'll kill him next time." Liu Ruyan's voice was cold and indifferent.
Long Chen looked at Liu Ruyan in shock; her aura had become extremely cold, as if she had become a completely different person.
Moreover, in her narrow eyes, there were faint black symbols visible, staring into her eyes as if her soul was being drawn in.
"Boss, let's go hunt down Ye Ming and the others!" Gu Yang suggested. As soon as he made the suggestion, the Dragon Blood warriors' eyes lit up.
