Chapter 1170

Cloud rapidly flew through the air . Long Chen was feeling weaker and weaker, as though his body was about to break down . His head was about to explode .

This wasn’t due to an injury, but the side effect of the Dragon Tiger Heavenly Explosion Pill . It had given him immense power, but in exchange for that power, he had to pay back a debt .

Long Chen was in extreme pain . The divine life elixir was unable to alleviate it, as this was no ordinary injury . This could be considered a Dao injury .

After forcibly extracting energy from heaven and earth, he had to pay it back, and that process was excruciating enough to make someone wish they were dead .

When he had used the Dragon Tiger Heavenly Explosion Pill, he hadn’t had any energy left in his body . That worsened his current condition . The Heavenly Daos were extracting back their energy from Long Chen, but he didn’t have the energy to be extracted . So now it felt like some strange energy was causing all the cells in his body to wither as it extracted their energy .

“d.a.m.n heavens, this energy was something I obtained through my own abilities, so why should I have to return it?!” Long Chen roared furiously inside . But he had no way to resist the extracting of the Heavenly Daos .

Pain wracked his body, and he felt like millions of needles were piercing through every inch of his skin . The pain was indescribable .

This was different from his heavenly tribulations . This was something he couldn't do anything about . He could only clench his teeth and endure . Furthermore, he couldn’t even faint even if he wanted to .

With Cloud’s speed, they ended up somewhere Long Chen didn’t even know about after rus.h.i.+ng for eight hours . He finally had Cloud find a place to descend .

Long Chen saw that they had appeared on top of a deep valley . He found a random cave and had Cloud guard the outside . Enduring the pain, he began refining pills .

But due to the pain, he couldn’t focus . He failed three times before finally succeeded with one pill, and it was just a seven-ring high grade pill .

He immediately swallowed it, and the medicinal energy quickly spread, cutting off his sense of pain . He finally felt a bit better .

“That price really was crazy . Fortunately I escaped, or wouldn’t I be crushed like a dog now?” Long Chen still felt some lingering fear . The Dragon Tiger Heavenly Explosion Pill’s power had been even greater than he had expected . This was the result of it being nourished for countless years .

Its power had increased and so had its side effects, but Long Chen could only endure . This medicinal pill only allowed him to block out a portion of the pain .

With his Pill Sovereign memories, Long Chen knew that this kind of phenomenon was very normal . He couldn’t forcibly use medicinal energy to block the Heavenly Daos from extracting energy from him, or it would just worsen his Dao injury .

“Cloud, can you find the way back?” Long Chen took out a jade tablet . It indicated his current position, and it also indicated another position, which was the Xuantian Dao Sect .

This jade tablet was a map containing millions and millions of miles of terrain . However, right now, it was merely able to show an arrow pointing to where the Xuantian Dao Sect lay . The two of them were so far apart it was unable to accurately say where the Xuantian Dao Sect was exactly .

Cloud let out a bird cry, telling Long Chen that it could use its spiritual connection with Meng Qi to find where she was . It would be easy to get back .

“Good, then you go back . Tell Meng Qi and the others that I’m safe and fine, but for now, it’s not convenient for me to go back,” said Long Chen .

Cloud let out a quiet bird cry .

Long Chen smiled slightly . “Don’t worry, I’ll just recuperate here for a few days, and once I’m recovered, I’m thinking of taking a trip to the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect . If I still didn’t go, it would be improper of me . ”

Only then did Cloud spread its wings, vanis.h.i.+ng from Long Chen’s sight . Once Cloud was gone, in order to be extra careful, Long Chen flew on his own for over two hours before jumping into a river . Following its flow and concealing his aura, he arrived at the bottom of a waterfall . Creating a cave in the back of the waterfall, he lived there for seven days .

Long Chen spent those seven days lying on the ground without the slightest energy . He barely had the energy to breathe .

He didn’t struggle at all . He simply let the Heavenly Daos extract energy from him continuously during this time . Finally, after the seventh day, that feeling disappeared .

At this moment, an explosive sound came from his body . Each of his cells became like hungry wolves, crazily devouring heaven and earth’s energy .

Long Chen also took out yuan spirit stones and absorbed their energy . Unfortunately, he didn’t have that many yuan spirit stones left . He only had a couple hundred thousand . Because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from using them all, he had distributed the rest amongst the others .

Regretfully, the energy within a couple hundred thousand yuan spirit stones was only enough for him to half-recover .

Sensing that he had recovered to fifty percent, Long Chen finally sighed with relief . The feeling of being weak wasn’t a good one . Now, even if he did run into enemies, he would have some confidence .

Long Chen didn’t immediately go out after this . He continued recovering, because it wasn’t just him who needed to recover . Lei Long and Huo Long also needed time, because they had used up all their energy in the last battle .

…

Meng Qi and the others had waited anxiously for three days before Cloud finally returned . Hearing that Long Chen was fine raised the spirits of the Dragonblood Legion .

When the Xuan Master heard that Long Chen was temporarily not coming back, he couldn’t help but shake his head . He understood Long Chen’s intentions . He was worried about causing trouble for the Xuantian Dao Sect, and he didn’t want them to be everyone’s target .
