The Thousand-Blade Arrow was a strange arrow crafted by Guo Ran in a whimsical way. In fact, it also had another name: the Thousand-Blade Mother-Child Arrow.
A thousand explosive arrows merged into an arrow imbued with spatial power. The moment they were released, the spatial power was destroyed, and a thousand arrows appeared simultaneously.
However, these thousand arrows were not fired carelessly; they were blessed with specific formations and had ingenious uses for ruler, minister, assistant, and envoy.
The so-called 'Jun' refers to one of the most powerful explosive arrows, whose power is astonishing and extremely destructive, known as the 'Jun Arrow,' equivalent to the Emperor's Arrow.
The arrows were made with over three thousand kinds of immortal gold and divine materials, and the runes inscribed were countless. Even when Guo Ran forged them, he was on edge, afraid that a single mistake would blow him to pieces.
Although it is extremely powerful, if fired directly, the attacked person easily senses the danger and resorts to dodging or defending.
No matter how powerful the killer move, if sensed in advance, it would be very difficult to inflict effective damage.
So this requires the use of the 'Chen Arrow' in coordination. There are seventy-two 'Chen Arrows' in total: thirty-six are used to enhance the power of the Sovereign Arrows, while the other thirty-six are used to conceal the aura of the Imperial Arrows, preventing the strong from experiencing fatal reactions.
There are 360 auxiliary arrows, each with different attributes, each containing energies such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, thunder, wind, and so on.
His goal was to bewilder the eyes, dazzling the eyes and making it harder to perceive Jun Jian, this deadly weapon.
The command arrows are the arrows of perception and guidance, the most numerous among them. In reality, they have almost no lethal power.
Their role is to sense the number of enemies, strength, and other factors, acting like scouts. They guide the Jun Arrow to erupt at the core area where the enemy is most numerous and the strongest are concentrated.
Because the Thousand-Man Arrow was designed specifically for group combat, it could be said to be Guo Ran's proud and pinnacle work, pouring endless effort into it.
To activate the Thousand-Blade Arrow, one must possess enough destiny power. Now that Guo Ran has condensed nine life-bound dragon veins, he can finally put his skills to the test.
"Heh heh, if you don't feel sorry and don't try out its power, how will you know if it works?" Guo Ran chuckled. Although forging a Thousand Blade Arrow back then required half a month's effort, seeing its power made it all worthwhile.
A group of Eight-Vein Heavenly Saints could be wiped out in an instant. Although these Saints had been injured before and were not at their peak, the Thousand-Blade Arrow was a hidden arrow. If caught off guard, whether they were at their peak or not would not matter much.
Unfortunately, at that time, there was no Nine Meridian Celestial Saint in the team; otherwise, it would have been clear whether they could have killed the Nine Meridian Celestial Saint.
If there were a Nine Veins Heavenly Saint in the team, under the guidance of Shi Jian, Jun Jian would surely find the strongest to strike.
"Truly impressive."
When Long Chen learned the complex principle behind this arrow, his face was full of admiration. Guo Ran's mind was truly brilliant—he could figure this out.
"It is indeed impressive, but if you devote your energy to studying magical arts, Guo Ran, I believe you will achieve remarkable breakthroughs just as well." Song Mingyuan said.
"Tch, you know I don't like cultivation, yet you still say that. That's boring.
The boss said, 'Chickens don't pee; everyone has their own path. Who would dare say I, Guo Ran, can't forge a completely new path?' Guo Ran said dismissively.
"When did I ever say that?" Long Chen was speechless.
Seeing Guo Ran still in excitement, Long Chen asked, "By the way, how many arrows do you have in total?"
"Eight, used one, seven left. But you saw the power boss too—it's enough." Guo Ran said.
"Enough? You're overthinking it."
Long Chen shook his head and said. This guy had no idea how many enemies he would face in the future and thought he was only dealing with the demon clan.
"No worries, I've already developed a simple Thousand-Blade Arrow to craft it. Its power is only half that of it, but I can make hundreds a day." Guo Ran said.
Long Chen couldn't help but be moved. Even if the power was only half, it was still astonishing. Moreover, making hundreds of tubes in a single day was almost beyond the ordinary.
"Then Guo Ran, please work hard and quickly make more Thousand-Blade Arrows—the more, the better. Get ready for an unprecedented battle." Long Chen said.
"Don't worry, boss."
Seeing Long Chen's serious expression, Guo Ran realized the gravity and immediately returned to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest to get busy.
Long Chen gathered all the corpses on the battlefield, returned to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, and continued moving forward slowly.
"Boss, something's not right. Logically, we're supposed to run into quite a few forces along the way, right?" Xia Chen looked at the situation outside the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and couldn't help but say.
"Because our pace is too slow, many forces have already reached the Reverse Scale of the Imperial Dao." Long Chen said.
"Then why didn't we go earlier?" Song Mingyuan said.
"No need. Even if they get there first, they should wait. Once they get there, they can join up with their own clan experts, and we don't need to wait for help.
If we get there first, we'll become the target of everyone's criticism. We're not mature yet, so we can't afford this kind of war of attrition." Long Chen said.
Although arriving early at the Reverse Scale of the Imperial Dao would grant them more energy, no matter how much energy each person could absorb, that was because outsiders could not advance to Human Emperor within the Heavenly Vein Profound Realm.
Because the laws here are different from those of the outside world. If you advance to Human Emperor here, you will be bound by the laws here, and when advancing to Divine Emperor, you must do so here.
And no one knows how many years the Heavenly Vein Profound Realm can open. Advancing here would be like ruining one's own future.
Since everyone's limit is the Heavenly Saint Great Perfection, arriving there earlier is meaningless, because even on the road, they can still advance to the Heavenly Saint Great Perfection without being disturbed, making it much safer.
Most importantly, the Reverse Scale of the Imperial Dao had already discovered him. Without Long Chen's presence, it would not have made any move. Therefore, everything related to the Reverse Scale of the Imperial Dao was under Long Chen's control.
Additionally, Long Chen deliberately slowed down the pace, partly to give everyone time to cultivate and prepare, and partly to allow Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, Yue Zifeng, and others time to gather.
Of course, if Mo Nian could arrive, Long Chen would have a better chance. Long Chen had a feeling that the struggle for the Reverse Scale of the Imperial Dao would be an unprecedented bloody battle, and he dared not be careless for even a moment.
"Boom!"
At that moment, heaven and earth suddenly trembled, myriad paths roared, and the resounding roar of dragons echoed throughout the entire Tianmai Profound Realm.
"Are you getting impatient?"
Hearing that voice, Long Chen's gaze instantly turned sharp.
