Chapter 1729: Ninth Heavenstage of Soul Transformation

“How dangerous . That person was able to reach you from a whole other world, discarding any spatial restrictions to leave a spiritual mark . ”

Evilmoon’s voice contained a trace of shock . It had immediately sensed something wrong and worked together with the Heaven Flipping Seal to erase the spiritual mark, but this had still made it jump .

“Long Chen, what is it?” asked Yue Xiaoqian . Long Chen should have been bathing in this place’s blessing . This place was greatly beneficial to the soul .

The environment here was similar to the blessing of the Life G.o.d Tree in the Spirit World . However, Long Chen had just closed his eyes for a moment before being startled awake, startling Yue Xiaoqian .

“It’s nothing . ”

Long Chen told Yue Xiaoqian not to worry, but inside, he was shocked and enraged . He was now certain he had been drawn into a terrifying vortex .

Clearly, some terrifying expert had managed to eavesdrop on his conversation with that mysterious voice . That expert was also able to leave a mark on his soul from a different world . This kind of technique was something he had never heard of .

Long Chen had no idea who those people were, or what they wanted . That made him feel uneasy, as well as angry .

“Don’t worry, although that fellow is so powerful that they are beyond our imagination, the Heaven Flipping Seal and I destroyed their spiritual mark instantly, so they won’t be able to pinpoint your location . However, you also can’t be careless . That person was able to leave a spiritual mark on you from an endless distance away, without you even being able to resist . They won’t be able to lock onto any of the stars, but they’ll be able to narrow it down to one area . It’s just that we have no idea how narrow that area is . Either way, you are really pressed for time,” said Evilmoon gravely .

“How strong do you feel that person is?” asked Long Chen .

“I can’t tell . Perhaps only Sovereigns would be able to block them though,” said Evilmoon after a moment’s pause . It couldn’t be sure .

Long Chen shook his head . Sovereigns were legendary existences on the Martial Heaven Continent . Only five had ever appeared in history .

Just how powerful had Evilmoon been back then? Despite that, it hadn’t been able to even receive a single blow from Sovereign Yun Shang and had been forged into a divine weapon .

Furthermore, Evilmoon said that Sovereigns would only be able to resist, not win . That level of power was enough to cause despair .

When the mark on Long Chen’s soul was destroyed, he also lost his connection to the mysterious voice . Long Chen guessed that the voice had sensed that it was being watched by someone else, which was how that terrifying expert had found him in the first place .

Now that Long Chen had been noticed, that voice probably wouldn’t contact him again for fear of implicating him .

“Long Chen, that voice is correct . Although I don’t understand your cultivation technique, I can sense that you are suppressing it . Like this, you are cultivating in the opposite direction the cultivation technique is trying to go, and you naturally won’t be able to cultivate as fast . You need to fully release yourself,” said Evilmoon .

“I know . I know the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art better than you, and I know that I’m suppressing it, which is why my cultivation speed is slower . However, you can’t feel just how domineering this technique is . It far surpa.s.ses your imagination . If I unleashed it, it would control me, not the other way around . Sooner or later, I would be its slave . I can be domineering, but I have to maintain my rationality . I can kill, but I have to maintain my bottom line . I can be arrogant, but I can’t go too far . Even being domineering has to have a limit . If I overdo it, I won’t just harm my enemies, but I will also harm my friends and family . My cultivation path will become one where I love only myself, where I only care about myself . That kind of domineeringness is the opposite of my will . The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s domineering will is one that demands I be the only strong person in this world, that everyone else should kneel down before me, regardless of friend or foe . I can be domineering to my enemies but not my friends . So I need to suppress the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s influence on me,” said Long Chen helplessly .

Currently, he was walking on a tightrope . He had to cultivate carefully . He knew how terrifying the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was . If he cultivated according to its will, he would be unstoppable .

However, it was too domineering, to the point that even the master would become a slave to it . Long Chen didn’t want to be a combat maniac who forgot about everything else . Then he would lose everything that he loved .

No matter how strong a person was, if they didn’t have even one person that they cared about, they would just be a terrifying monster . They couldn’t be called a real human .

“Your human race’s emotions are really troublesome . In any case, I don’t understand them . However, what you’re saying seems to have some sense to it . ” Evilmoon didn’t quite understand the emotions Long Chen was talking about, but it acknowledged his logic .

After being together for so long, Evilmoon had gone from first snorting derisively at the people Long Chen tried to protect, to feeling something it had never felt before . That feeling was trust .

Experts were solitary figures . Long Chen’s way of doing things was against this world’s normal way . However, the Dragonblood warriors all followed him with unwavering trust . He had united the hearts of over ten thousand people, allowing them to unleash endless power . That had shocked Evilmoon .

The dark evil dragon race relied on devouring all lifeforms to get stronger . They not only had to be on guard against other races, but they also had to be wary against their fellow dragons, even their fathers, mothers, brothers . They all had to be on guard against each other .

Since they devoured other races to get stronger, including other powerful enemies, they became strong very quickly . It was precisely because Evilmoon had grown so strong that its confidence had overinflated, and it had decided to challenge a Sovereign .

The reason why Evilmoon was in its current state was precisely due to its wild arrogance that had swallowed its rationality . If it had been like Long Chen, it wouldn’t have ended up like this .

So even Evilmoon had to acknowledge Long Chen’s words . A person couldn’t be too arrogant, or it would be all too easy for sudden calamity to befall them .
