Chapter 1356
Long Chen had absorbed every last drop of the Yuan Spirit Divine Pool, allowing him to finally reach the peak of the twelfth Heavenstage of Foundation Forging .
He was just one step away from the Jade Core realm . At this time, his 108,000 immortal platforms were once more compressed by some energy, turning into spheres . These spheres were covered in his original runes .
This was something that occurred when normal cultivators attacked the Jade Core realm . Their immortal platforms would turn spherical as they prepared to condense the divine core .
Right now, the only thing remaining for him to do was to strip off his original runes . Then he could step into the Jade Core realm .
These runes were like a layer of protection for the energy inside . Once they were stripped off, through the baptism of lightning, his divine core would truly form .
Right now, Long Chen was at the great circle of Foundation Forging and could also count as being at the half-step Jade Core realm . But at the same time as he was delighted over this, he was also filled with horror .
That horror was directed at the amount of energy contained in his immortal platforms .
Right now, he was like a vase packed with 108,000 bombs . Once one detonated, his body would no longer exist .
Despite his previous experience, he had underestimated the final three Heavenstage of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . Each advancement had increased the power of his immortal platforms by ten times .
Right now, even just extracting their energy and turning it into flame energy had to be done carefully . Accidentally drawing a bit too much would cause him to explode .
Long Chen had never felt such reverence for the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . This cultivation technique was definitely unrivaled in this world .
Long Chen left the Yuan Spirit Divine Pool . He went into seclusion for more than half a month before finally getting accustomed to his new body .
He could now extract the spiritual yuan in his immortal platforms and transform it into flame energy without worrying so much about exploding . The amount of flame energy he could produce now was essentially endless .
Right now, he could only be a complete flame cultivator and couldn’t use the power of his physical body . He couldn’t use his true power to fight .
The thing that made Long Chen curious was that contrary to what he had expected, Zhuo Tianxiang’s furious reprisal never came . He never came to demand if he had stolen the Yuan Spirit Divine Elixir .
Elder Zhu never brought it up as if it had never happened . At first, Long Chen found this very strange, but then he realized Zhuo Tianxiang was truly planning on using him as a one-time use killing tool .
After his seclusion, Elder Zhu directly tossed Long Chen into the Divine Pill Pavilion and selected several sinister and ruthless techniques for him to train in .
Long Chen acted obedient and learned them . With his powerful soul energy and control, learning these techniques was easy, and Elder Zhu was satisfied by his display .
However, neither Elder Zhu nor Zhuo Tianxiang decided to make Long Chen go through his tribulation . There wasn’t enough time . The Heaven Dragon Flame Region would be opened in just a few days .
With Zhuo Tianxiang’s efforts, Long Chen didn’t even have to go through a test to receive a spot to enter the Heaven Dragon Flame Region . Another disciple gave him their spot .
On this day, when Long Chen finally left seclusion, Dan Yanxue, Kan Dongze, and the rest of the core of the Divine Spear Alliance had already gathered .
“Let’s go . We were only waiting for you,” said Dan Yanxue indifferently .
Long Chen smiled . Neither Dan Yanxue nor Kan Dongze truly cared about him . In their eyes, he was just a chess piece .
“Long San, remember to look after yourself once you enter the Heaven Dragon Flame Region . Remember, safety first . Don’t harm others . Every person’s life is a gift from their father and mother . We don’t provoke people, but we aren’t afraid of others . If someone wants to kill you, you don’t need to stand on courtesy . Even if you kill them in retaliation, you have our Divine Spear Alliance behind you . Furthermore, you are a Grand Elder’s final apprentice . Don’t lose face for your fallen master . ” Kan Dongze patted Long Chen on the shoulder solemnly .
“I don’t need your reminder . I’ll kill anyone who provokes me . Of course, that includes that idiot Jiang Zijun . I’m now so strong that I can kill anyone,” said Long Chen arrogantly .
Kan Dongze was startled . Long San was truly brazen to not even place Jiang Zijun in his eyes . That was pure suicide . Was a rank nine Celestial really someone he could handle?
However, he didn’t say this and nodded instead . “Excellent, that’s the right att.i.tude . Protector Zhuo has given you a few missions . He wants you to eliminate a few people . ”
Kan Dongze didn’t speak this time, but instead sent him a spiritual message along with a jade tile .
Long Chen’s divine sense swept through the jade tile . He disdainfully said, “Is he looking down on me? Are these insects worthy of me personally killing?”
There were dozens of names on the jade tile, and there were also recordings of their appearance so he would be able to know who they were .
