Chapter 929 – Shattered Heart

Chapter 929 – Shattered Heart

Huang Qiong had countless times more essence than Long Chen did.

The underground room had limited space. If Huang Qiong decided to go all-out, Long Chen would be no match for him. Long Chen was currently barely able to beat an Eighth Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator.

Click! Huang Qiong shoved the underground room’s door open. He did not hide his identity at all. After he closed the door, he walked leisurely up to Long Chen, who was already standing up.

If this had happened one day earlier, Long Chen would have run immediately. However, he did not run. The Golden Thunder Beast in his left hand’s meridian point seemed to realize the situation Long Chen was in, because it became anxious and irritable. It started to bang against the walls of the meridian point.

A terrifying aura came from the tiny Golden Thunder Beast. It already had an intimate relationship with Long Chen, as if he was part of itself. When Long Chen was threatened, it was also threatened.

Huang Qiong saw that Long Chen had noticed him, but he did not attack. He was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he eyed Long Chen with interest. He walked a few circles around Long Chen, the hard soles of his shoes clicking on the floor.

“You’re not running away?” Huang Qiong asked, feeling puzzled when he realized Long Chen was not moving.

Long Chen did not answer. He raised his left hand and realized that it was already covered in golden lightning, radiating a violent aura. Huang Qiong had an odd feeling that a large, ancient beast was hiding in Long Chen’s left hand.

“What’s the matter with your hand?” Huang Qiong sensed a source of power that made him anxious.

Long Chen did not reply. He merely asked directly, “You want my Emperor Vanquishers?”

As he spoke, the Emperor Vanquishers appeared on his hands.

Huang Qiong had come for them, so the moment they appeared, his attention was completely captured by them. He looked at Long Chen for a while, then laughed with amusement and said, “Those aren’t bad at all. Give them to me, Long Chen. Follow me and I guarantee you’ll live a good life in the Underworld Army.”

In the beginning, his gaze was gentle, though it turned into a cold glare towards the end, and he said, “But if you refuse to cooperate, you will disappear from this world. I know that your strength is probably at the Eighth Heavenly Martial Stage, but to me, killing an Eighth Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator is as easy as chopping vegetables.”

As he spoke, he released his Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage domain. The whole underground room was covered with his domain. Long Chen had nowhere to run.

“Give them to me.”

Huang Qiong completely suppressed Long Chen using his domain. When he saw Long Chen’s knees bending, he was smug and held out his hand.

Huang Qiong never even considered the possibility that he would be unable to take something from a subordinate.

Long Chen was currently in his Dragon Soul Transformation form. Under the suppression of the domain, every atom in his body was being squeezed. Long Chen slowly looked up. His eyes were blood-red and a ray of gray light shone from between his brows. This meant that his True Martial Soul had been activated.

“Haargh!”

Long Chen gave a loud cry and stomped hard on the ground, then shot out like an arrow at Huang Qiong!

“It’s useless. The whole room is under my domain’s influence. Even if you cause a huge commotion, the people outside won’t feel it.”

Huang Qiong guffawed.

The punch could be said to contain all of Huang Qiong’s understanding of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Although it was a Divine-tier combat technique, Huang Qiong could only use it to the extent of his own strength as a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator. The domain’s power was all gathered into this single punch, forming a powerful and destructive force.

“Just like that!”

When the punch landed, Long Chen entered a bizarre state. He felt as though Huang Qiong had become himself. The True Martial Soul’s observation and duplication effects were activated. Long Chen’s Martial Soul developed quickly, and within a short period of time, it completed the metamorphosis from the Fourth to the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage!

In the blink of an eye, Long Chen had reached the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage.

Although the essence in his body had not caught up to his cultivation level, Long Chen already had the mental capacity for it.

Despite reaching the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage, Long Chen could not avoid this imminent threat. However, he was not worried. To Huang Qiong’s confusion, Long Chen smiled.

“Emperor’s Manual, Shifting Galaxies!”

At this critical moment, Long Chen had no choice but to try to block with a punch of his own.

There was a loud boom. The Shifting Galaxies technique was no match for Huang Qiong’s Killing God Sutra at all. Long Chen’s entire body shook. The force from the Killing God Sutra rushed into his body and damaged it so badly that he was unrecognizable, and Long Chen felt a gut-wrenching pain.

He was on the brink of death.

In his hand, the Golden Thunder Beast was furious and kept banging itself around, trying to escape his meridian point to tear Huang Qiong apart.

“I told you to hand the Emperor Vanquishers over. If you did, I wouldn’t have needed to cripple you. How idiotic.” Huang Qiong stopped his attack and shook his head as he watched the dying Long Chen get thrown back into the air.

The impact of the Shattered Heart attack from the Killing God Sutra had indeed shattered Long Chen’s heart.

That was when ....

“Rewind!”

Transparent ripples traveled out from Long Chen’s chest. Wherever the ripples touched, Long Chen’s body recovered to its original state. It only took one second for the dying Long Chen to become energetic once more. This was an astonishing phenomenon to Long Chen.

“That’s impossible!” Huang Qiong yelled, staring at Long Chen with wide eyes. He had just watched Long Chen completely heal instantly.

“What do you mean, impossible? I still need to thank you for allowing me to reach the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage.”

Long Chen laughed, then he took off the Emperor Vanquishers and suddenly raised his left hand. The Golden Thunder Beast image in his palm was wrapped in countless golden lightning bolts. A violent and ancient energy radiated from it.

“Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage? You’re only at the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage? What secrets are you keeping?” Huang Qiong was starting to panic. Long Chen was too strange for his liking. He had been on the brink of death, yet he fully recovered. This was unbelievable. He was immortal.

There was a legend that when a cultivator reached the Sixth Divine Martial Stage, they could cultivate the Peerless Golden Body. This allowed the user to have an indestructible body and even limb-regenerative abilities. Long Chen was only at the Heavenly Martial Realm, so how could he have mastered the Peerless Golden Body, something that only the great Sixth Divine Martial Stage experts could achieve?

“Killing God Sutra, Shattered Heart!”
