Chapter 489: 489

“Your aura has grown slightly again . Furthermore, I can sense you should have found the key . Try and grow up faster . ” A voice reverberated throughout endless darkness .

“Who are you? Why are you constantly rus.h.i.+ng me?” Long Chen couldn’t help roaring upon one more hearing this familiar voice .

However, for some unknown reason, his voice was devoured by the darkness . Even he was unable to hear his own voice .

“I can’t hear you . You’re still too weak . Only when you grow can I barely feel you within the ten planar worlds .

“Furthermore, that feeling is quickly growing weaker . Master of the Nine Star Hegemon Body, hurry and grow up . You don’t have much time to waste…”

“Who are you?!”

Long Chen roared furiously, and then suddenly sat up, covered with sweat .

“Long Chen!”

Tang Wan-er cried out with shock, and then hastily rushed over to support him . “What is it Long Chen? Are you alright? You’re covered with sweat!”

“I’m fine . It was just a dream . ” Long Chen shook his head, but he felt as if a boulder was crus.h.i.+ng his heart .

That was definitely no dream, but a voice that managed to pa.s.s through boundless s.p.a.ce to reach him .

However, some unknown energy was blocking him from communicating with that voice .

That mysterious voice had said he was the master of the Nine Star Hegemon Body, as well as something about the ten planar worlds, as well as some key . That completely befuddled him .

The urgency contained in that voice made him extremely uneasy . Just what secrets were behind the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art? He felt as if he was involved within some immense game .

That voice had already rung in his head multiple times, and he was already completely familiar with it . It was definitely the same voice and fluctuations that spoke to him .

However, more accurately, that voice was like a spiritual fluctuation, and he was unable to tell if it was male or female, young or old .

“Are you sure you’re alright?” Tang Wan-er was a bit worried upon seeing how grave Long Chen’s expression was .

Long Chen took a deep breath and temporarily put aside the matter . Food had to be eaten mouthful by mouthful . A road had to be walked step by step . There was no use in rus.h.i.+ng .

“I’m fine . In fact, I feel full of energy . ” Long Chen smiled .

Looking within himself, he saw that after undergoing the lightning tribulation, his physical body had grown even stronger .

There was also faint jade-like l.u.s.ter over his bones . That was a sign he had entered the Bone Forging realm . After entering the Bone Forging realm, a person’s bones would begin hardening, becoming harder than steel .

Furthermore, the bones would become a separate reservoir of spiritual qi . That spiritual qi was compressed to an even greater degree, and could be released to activate an even greater power .

However, the tribulation this time had been far too dangerous, and even now he felt some lingering fear . He had almost died to the lightning tribulation’s final blow .

That made alarm bells go off in his head . If he wanted to pa.s.s his lightning tribulations, then he had to make his body reach its strongest possible state before undergoing it, or next time, he would very likely lose his life .

In truth, if Long Chen had fully activated his thunderforce to undergo a body tempering before his tribulation, then at the very least, he wouldn’t have been forced into such a miserable state .

However, there had been too many things that had occurred almost successively, which hadn’t given him any time to breathe . This time, it really had been too close . He definitely didn’t want to have to undergo that a second time .

“What happened Long Chen? Who injured you? We asked the sect leader, but he refused to say,” asked Tang Wan-er .

“Wan-er, you’re becoming more and more beautiful,” smiled Long Chen, raising a hand to gently caress her beautiful face .

“How dislikable . Do you have to change the subject so obviously?” Tang Wan-er blushed and pushed aside Long Chen’s hand .

However, Long Chen didn’t want them to know the truth . At the same time, he didn’t want to lie to them . “Wan-er, trust me . There’s a reason I don’t tell you . ”

“Which one of us doesn’t trust you? Wait a moment, I’ll help you wash your face . You’re filthy right now,” laughed Tang Wan-er, bringing a washcloth to gently wipe Long Chen’s face .

Long Chen obediently enjoyed Tang Wan-er’s attention, his heart filled with warmth . He smiled .

“What are you smiling about?” After wiping his face twice, Tang Wan-er went to clean the washcloth, taking advantage of that opportunity to ask him why he smiling so mischievously .

“If I tell you, will I be beaten?” probed Long Chen .

“Why would I beat you? Tell me . ”

“I feel like today… you really are like a woman . Aiya!”
