Chapter 721

Long Chen ignored Shui Guanzhi . Although he had to admit that Shui Guanzhi was extremely powerful, he wasn’t afraid of him .

It was just that now, Long Chen was much more on guard toward the other rank two Celestials . Shui Guanzhi was a rather special case amongst the four of them .

His combat strength lay in his defense, not offense . Furthermore, with this fellow’s character, he definitely wouldn’t expose his true trump cards unless he had to .

Although he had heard that when the four of them had exchanged blows and they had been equally matched, that was simply because it hadn’t been a battle to the death . They had merely used probing blows .

Today, he had provoked Shui Guanzhi and found many abilities that he hadn’t used before . That meant the other rank two Celestials also had to be hiding terrifying trump cards .

Just Shui Guanzhi, who didn’t specialize in offense, was already able to push Long Chen to the point that he had no choice but to use all his trump cards . Then Zhao Wuji, who was widely known for his offense, would definitely be much more terrifying .

Long Chen’s gaze roamed around . As expected, he saw overflowing battle intent coming from Zhao Wuji . It seemed he had an urge to fight Long Chen right now .

As for Yue Qianshan, his gaze was like a sword . He also seemed interested .

Only Zhong Wuyan’s expression was indifferent, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking . That made Long Chen snort . It seemed things would be very lively .

This was Long Chen’s first time encountering such powerful opponents . He felt his own blood boiling with battle intent .

Long Chen might not have an arrogant air, but he had a lofty and unyielding character . His arrogance was concealed in the depths of his soul . Thus, he also thirsted to fight with experts .

Currently, Zhao Wuji, Zhong Wuyan, Yue Qianshan, Shui Guanzhi, and Long Chen were going deeper into the storm zone from five different directions . They moved slowly, because the closer they got to the core of the storm zone, the stronger the current grew .

But Long Chen didn’t continue forward . Although the tide contained all the energies of heaven and earth, and any cultivator would gain huge benefits from it, he was different . He was not an elemental cultivator . He controlled flame energy and thunderforce, but he didn’t need to do anything to absorb those energies . Lei Long and Huo Long had already reached the core of the storm zone and were absorbing energy .

Although they had separated from him, he could sense their emotions . Those two were crazily devouring energy there with extreme joy .

Furthermore, the two of them listened to what he had said . They kept themselves small . They were only a few inches long, and outsiders were unable to sense their existence .

Of course, compressing their bodies meant they couldn’t absorb energy as easily . It was fortunate that the energy at the core had practically reached a solid state, and so it was compressed enough for them to devour their fill .

Shui Guanzhi and the others were doing their best, but they finally reached their limit a few miles from the core . They were unable to advance another inch .

But this place was already enough to give them endless benefits, benefits that surpa.s.sed their imaginations . They were doing their best to absorb their own specific energies from the current .

If Long Chen continued forward, the current’s energy could rapidly strengthen his body, and he would be able to release even greater strength in the future . But he decided not to do that . That was because he felt that doing that wouldn’t have any meaning . The body-strengthening aspect from the storm zone couldn’t compare to Enlightenment Palace Pills . There was no need to waste that time .

His energy was rapidly recovering in the current, and he was fully recovered in just two hours . That was too miraculous, as he would have required several days to do the same outside this sea .

Once he was recovered, in front of everyone’s uncomprehending gazes, he left the storm zone . He walked over to Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er .

“Long Chen…”

“Meng Qi, I’ll bring Wan-er into the storm zone . She’ll be able to gain even greater benefits there . But you…” said Long Chen apologetically .

“It’s fine . In truth, the Xuantian Sea isn’t too useful to me . A Beast Tamer’s body is just too weak . Even if it’s strengthened, there’s a limit . You should bring Wan-er along!” said Meng Qi .

“Meng Qi, can you endure it?” asked Long Chen worriedly .

“I’ll be fine . I’ve already grown accustomed to it . I told Wan-er to go ahead on her own before, but she refused . This opportunity is rare, so don’t waste time worrying about me . ” Meng Qi smiled toward Tang Wan-er .

Long Chen nodded . He brought Tang Wan-er over to the storm zone . When they approached the border, Tang Wan-er was clearly under extremely great pressure . She was slightly pale .

Long Chen directly activated his divine ring, blocking the pressure for Tang Wan-er . She gratefully smiled toward Long Chen .

“Let’s go . ”
