Long Tianrui was calmly contemplating the divine stele when suddenly an unusual vibration made her open her eyes. This was an independent space, and outside sounds shouldn't be coming in, right?
And the vibrations kept coming. At the same time, she seemed to hear an angry roar. At that moment, she was stunned, thinking she was hallucinating, because the roar sounded so much like Long Zaiye's.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the void exploded, seven-colored divine light flickered, and one after another, the Nine Li Divine Talismans appeared before her. At that moment, Long Tianrui was stunned.
The violent will on these talismans had already been erased, so there was no need for comprehension—they could be absorbed directly.
Long Tianrui had no time to think further. She quickly formed hand seals with both hands, drawing all dozens of runes into her soul.
"Seven-Colored Bloodline... It's Long Chen...
As
Long Tianrui absorbed the talisman, Long Chen's face appeared in her mind, and she even saw a mischievous smile on that face.
...
Inside a space of the Jiuli Divine Stele, there were two people: Jiang Yue'e and Feng Fei. Jiang Yue'e had exerted tremendous effort to pull Feng Fei into her own space, and for this, she paid a tremendous price.
But she had no regrets. Feng Fei was her best sister and the person she trusted most. Feng Fei's strength was her strength.
At this moment, the two stared at the talisman wrapped within the seven-colored divine radiance, their eyes wide open, covering their cherry lips in utter disbelief.
"How did this guy do it?" Jiang Yue'e was dumbfounded.
"I just happened to hear Long Zaiye cursing in the street. Looks like he's giving gifts to someone else's stuff again." Feng Fei covered her mouth and laughed.
"Again?"
"This guy does this all the time. Sister, hurry up and absorb all these ownerless runes." Feng Fei called out.
"We'll split it half." Jiang Yue'e said.
"My aptitude is limited, so absorbing it would be a waste. Sister, don't refuse. Is there any need for formalities between us? Quick, while Long Chen's bloodline power hasn't dissipated yet." Feng Fei said anxiously.
Jiang Yue'e no longer refused. She formed hand seals with both hands and absorbed dozens of runes. When all the talismans merged with her, her heart still raced, as if she were in a dream.
After all this time, she had fused a total of thirty-seven runes, and considered herself strong enough.
And the runes Long Chen sent in numbered sixty-two—almost twice her number. What excited her most was that these runes didn't overlap with the ones she fused.
With this, she had already fused ninety-nine Jiuli Divine Talismans. It was simply unimaginable, making her feel that none of it was so real, as if she were dreaming and might wake up if she wasn't careful.
"Sister, am I dreaming?" Jiang Yue'e looked at Feng Fei, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.
"Dreaming is a beautiful dream, but for Long Zaiye, it might just be a nightmare." Feng Fei smiled with pursed lips.
"What kind of existence is this Long Chen, really?" Jiang Yue'e felt the runic power within her body and murmured to herself, thinking that Long Chen seemed to be treating them a bit too well.
"Every talisman is priceless, yet he actually gave us such a supreme treasure?" Jiang Yue'e was puzzled.
"Long Chen doesn't like owing favors. That counts as returning a favor to us. I've said before, a favor from me is truly priceless." Feng Fei said.
"But he doesn't need it himself. If he gives it to us, how could there be such a fool?" Jiang Yue'e said.
"Long Chen is no fool. The fact that he gave it to us means ..." As Feng Fei spoke, her eyes suddenly filled with shock because she had thought of a possibility.
"That's impossible!" Jiang Yue'e also widened her eyes; she knew what Feng Fei was thinking.
Feng Fei took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "Sister, don't overthink it yet. We still have time. The more runes we comprehend, the more strength we gain.
Don't get hung up on such meaningless matters. Let's hurry and continue comprehending, aiming to comprehend a few more runes before the Jiuli Divine Stele disappears."
Jiang Yue'e nodded, and the two continued to close their eyes in contemplation. However, Long Chen's handwriting completely shocked this arrogant, aloof female war goddess.
...
"Senior, come with me to re-enter the space of the Jiuli Divine Stele and take out Long Zaiye." Long Chen said to the Qiankun Cauldron.
"It's useless. The Jiuli Divine Stele can open up to ten spaces at once. The space inside the stele has already closed, so you can only reach the ninth barrier at most before entering.
If we force our way in, we can get in, but the consumption is too high, so it's meaningless." Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Long Chen, don't listen to him. How can I not try? If Old Ding doesn't want to act, let me do it. I refuse to believe I can't break through that bird barrier." Dragonbone Evil Moon, however, was somewhat eager to try it.
"He's just a lowly Long Zaiye. Are you afraid he'll grow up and not be able to beat him?" Qiankun Cauldron said irritably.
"Would I be afraid of him? What kind of nonsense are you spouting? I, Xie Yue, have been afraid of whom?" With just one sentence from the Qiankun Cauldron, Dragon Bone Xie Yue was left stunned.
Long Chen could naturally hear the provocation from the Qiankun Cauldron, but what the Cauldron said was true—was Long Chen really afraid of Long Zaiye?
So what if he's strong? I'm getting stronger too. Am I, Long Chen, really afraid of being surpassed by others? Thinking of this, Long Chen finally felt relieved.
"Alright, today we won't kill him. Let him grow, let him grow to his heart's content. Then, Old Ding, you widen your eyes and watch how we cut him into minced meat." The Dragon Bone Evil Moon was truly furious. The Qiankun Cauldron had only used a small scheme, and it fell for it.
"Right, just let him grow. Next time, I'll tie one arm and still torment him." Long Chen followed the tone of Dragon Bone Xie Yue.
"Tie one arm to your fingers? Just tie up your hands and feet." Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
"Then how do we fight?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Take off your pants and pull that stuff hard. Aren't you going to stumble on him all the way?" Dragonbone Xie Yue shouted angrily.
"Stop, stop, stop, ..."
Long Chen was speechless. When did Dragonbone Xie Yue become so filthy? As he spoke, he left the path and dared to say anything.
"Although you have obtained all the runes, you have swallowed them whole, and currently they offer you no improvement or help.
Right now, your top priority is to find a way to awaken the synergy of those runes, to awaken the first divine talisman you have comprehended.
The first talisman you comprehended is actually the key to unlocking the Jiuli Divine Stele. In reality,Your understanding of it is only superficial.
Although he could barely use his power, he was still far from its perfect form.
But Long Zaiye and the others are different. Their bloodlines are pure, unlike you, who have interference from purple and dragon blood, and the help of the divine stele. Their comprehension speed and depth are beyond your reach.
Once they come out of seclusion, they'll be a different person. If you don't hurry up and level up, you'll definitely suffer a big loss when you run into Long Zaiye again." The Qiankun Cauldron reminded them.
Long Chen nodded, glanced at the towering Jiuli Divine Stele, and was about to leave. But just then, the voice of a dragon clan expert rang out:
"You don't have time to comprehend it. The Reverse Scale of the Imperial Dao has already appeared, and all the powerful figures have already arrived. What is about to begin is the bloody slaughter."
