"You can't blame me. That person actually wanted to slap me, and I didn't even realize what was happening... And then it came out. "Long Chen looked at the old man holding the stick, trembling all over, and hurriedly explained.
This time, you really can't blame Long Chen. The illusion was extremely real. The first time he entered, someone provoked Long Chen and cursed him outright, only to be killed by Long Chen with a single punch.
Although Long Chen knew it was just an illusion, someone insulting his respected mother made him instantly furious.
This time, Long Chen planned to ignore everything around him, but as soon as someone looked at him, he immediately slapped Long Chen in the face.
Without thinking, Long Chen slapped him hard. By the time he realized he couldn't react, he had already been sent out.
However, when Long Chen explained, he clearly felt a bit guilty, because he had lied and had been in there more than once.
When he sensed something was wrong, he was teleported out. He was smart enough to hurry back in.
But after going in a second time, that person appeared again, face to face, and Long Chen slapped him again.
Then he was teleported out again. Long Chen was stunned—how did this person end up arguing with him? But after hesitating, the old man immediately noticed him standing there in a daze, thinking he hadn't gone in yet.
"Can you take it seriously? At a time like this, you still have the mood to joke around?" The old man grabbed Long Chen's shoulder and roared at him, making his hair stand on end with rage, almost losing his mind. He thought Long Chen was deliberately causing trouble.
"Old man, I don't care about climbing the mountain of blades or the oil pot. Even if you ask me to take the blade and fight the Divine Clan now, I wouldn't frown even a little. But this thing, I ... Really, no, that's not allowed.
Although I know men can't say no, this time it's really not, I really can't hold back. Long Chen spread his hands, looking helpless as he spoke.
This trial might not be difficult for others, but for him, it was an absolute heaven-defying test.
Moreover, Long Chen had already figured it out: once you enter the trial, you will passively enter a state of Heavenly Wrath. It's like someone who's been wronged and has nowhere to vent, and suddenly an idiot comes out and scolds you right at your nose. Who could stand that?
Before entering, Long Chen warned himself that everything was fake, just an illusion, but once inside, he forgot everything.
"If you can't help it, you have to endure it. Otherwise, how would you cultivate the ninth form of the Heaven-Opening Technique? If that's the case, how could I dare teach you? Teaching you is basically ruining you. The old man said with a grim expression.
"Don't worry, there's always a way. Let's study it slowly and let me see what happens to Unfair Chang Hao and the others." Long Chen helped the old man sit down to calm him down. There was nothing he could do about this thing.
"I just find it strange. When you were little, weren't you cursed and bullied by others? How can you not handle even the slightest grievance? Is self-control really that bad? After sitting down, the old man took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Isn't suppression where there is resistance? When I was a child, I was bullied badly, but after I started cultivating, I completely rebounded. Once I rebounded, I couldn't stop it.
If I were to go back to my childhood, I probably wouldn't have survived even a single day.
Additionally, my soul has fused with my Evil Moon Battle Blade, and I am greatly influenced by it. Long Chen said.
"You shameless thing! What does this have to do with me? Why should I take the blame?"
Hearing Long Chen push the blame onto her, Dragon Bone Xie Yue cursed loudly, thinking this person was shameless.
Long Chen ignored Dragonbone Evil Moon. He knew his willpower was most affected by the Dan Emperor's memory, but Dandi's name was forbidden, so Long Chen didn't dare say it carelessly, so he said it was related to Dragonbone Xie Yue.
Although Long Chen never revealed the origin of the Dragonbone Evil Moon, the old man had a clear understanding of this evil divine weapon, because the perception of the Blade of Heaven told him it was extremely terrifying.
For a moment, the old man frowned deeply but couldn't find any solution. Time passed bit by bit, and after an hour, Bao Buping teleported back, followed by Chang Hao. The two were almost teleported back at the same time.
Veins bulged on their foreheads, their eyes bloodshot, blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, lips bitten and teeth shattered, looking extremely terrifying.
"Not bad. I've barely reached the threshold for cultivating the ninth form of the Heaven-Opening Heaven. If I try a few more times, I'll be able to adapt." The old man nodded, a rare look of admiration appearing on his face.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao were instantly overjoyed, but in their mixed emotions, their expressions turned extremely strange.
"Long Chen, you didn't fail again, did you?" Chang Hao looked at Long Chen in surprise.
"This 'again' character is used ... No problem. Long Chen nodded and gave a thumbs up.
"Huff huff huff...
At that moment, several elders also withdrew, only holding out a few breaths longer than Bao Buping and the other.
"You really surprised me." The old man said with a strange expression.
It was indeed surprising; the performances of Bao Buping, Chang Hao, and others took him by surprise.
But Long Chen, who had placed the greatest hope, was the most annoying and completely unexpected.
"Whoosh!"
The void shifted, and everyone found themselves in a field of ruins. The place was desolate, with extremely thin aura of the Heavenly Dao. Bao Buping and Chang Hao were Heaven Extension practitioners, but here, even forming a strange phenomenon felt extremely difficult—the place was far too barren.
"This is another place of cultivation. After the Heaven-Opening Divine Stele absorbed the laws of the Tianwu Continent and diluted them, it formed a world.
The power of the Heavenly Dao here is only one-thousandth that of the Tianwu Continent, making it the best place for trials.
Qifeng, come out and demonstrate to them. Activate Heaven's Fury state and challenge me. The old man said to Master Bao, and only now did Long Chen learn Master Bao's full name.
Master Bao responded, but suddenly his entire aura changed, a furious intent erupted, and the phenomenon was instantly pushed open. Long Chen could clearly feel the fluctuations of the laws of heaven and earth.
Master Bao's fury was like a flame, slowly igniting the power of the Heavenly Dao and spreading it gently.
"Crack, crack, crackle!"
The void suddenly exploded, Bao Ye's hair flew wildly, his thick eyebrows stood upright, and he looked like a furious lion.
"Bang!"
The old man suddenly struck Master Bao in the face with a stick. Master Bao tilted his face and shouted coldly, "Your anger is not enough; it is not enough to harmonize inside and outside and become one with heaven and earth." "
Rumble rumble rumble...
The old man's blow instantly ignited Master Bao's fury. As the phenomenon rapidly followed, blazing flames erupted, the void roared, and heaven and earth roared. The old man's blow not only struck Master Bao's face but also seemed to strike the face of the Heavenly Dao, enraging him.
"See that? In this way, let your anger merge with the anger of the Heavenly Dao; the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend.
The phenomenon can only borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao, but the power it can borrow is extremely limited.
Only by summoning the Heavenly Wrath and fusing the power of the Heavenly Dao with the strength of the body can a stronger and more terrifying force be unleashed. The old man shouted.
"Slash"
Suddenly, Master Bao let out a furious roar, drawing his broadsword. The moment it was drawn, the void wailed.
"What a terrifying sword strike." Long Chen was shocked. The power of this sword strike was more than ten times stronger than Master Bao's usual strike.
"Clang"
The old man's long staff switched to the Heaven-Splitting Blade. With a thunderous explosion, fierce winds surged in all directions, sending Bao Buping and the others flying like rolling gourds far away.
Long Chen took root beneath his feet, yet was still blown dozens of zhang away, leaving two large trenches in the ground beneath his feet.
"The power of this strike is comparable to that Blood Clan Emperor Seedling." Long Chen's heart raced wildly; Bao Ye's sword strike was terrifying.
After Master Bao struck with his sword, he was sent flying. He tried several times to struggle to stand up, but his limbs were weak. In the end, Seventh Master pulled him up, but his whole body was still trembling.
Master Bao's face was pale, and even the light in his eyes dimmed considerably, startling everyone.
The old man said, "Don't be afraid. It's a normal reaction. Qifeng did very well, even better than I did back then. Maybe this is the benefit of building up a lot of effort and breaking through."
Back then, I tried slashing with ease on my first attempt because my realm was low and the backlash was small.
And as your realm rises, your perception of the Heavenly Dao becomes even stronger, making it harder to control it.
This is the state of Heaven's Wrath. As long as you want, even if you're in a state of complete victory, you can exhaust all your strength with a single sword.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Wrath state: it can unleash all your strength, but when you exert your full power, you must preserve a bit of strength.
This portion of power is used to preserve life and counteract the backlash of the Heavenly Dao's power. If this life-saving power is exhausted, the person will be killed by the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.
To preserve this power, one must maintain a shred of sanity during the Heavenly Wrath state.
Qifeng had just conserved three percent of his strength, which showed he understood himself very well. The first backlash would be quite strong, and if he had kept just one point, he would have immediately lost consciousness.
If he hadn't held back a single point, he wouldn't have died, because this was the space of the Heaven-Opening Divine Stele, and he would only be unconscious for a month at most.
But if it were on the Tianwu Continent, you would need to conserve ninety percent of your strength to survive, because the laws of the Heavenly Dao there are a thousand times denser than here.
But if you retain ninety percent of your power, then the attacks you unleash become meaningless, and their power is even less than the eighth form of the Heaven-Opening Technique.
So, to control Heaven's Wrath, you need to keep practicing here, controlling your emotions, and only then can you control all your power. "
Let me give it a try!"
Bao Buping shouted angrily and charged out, but just as he gathered his strength, the old man knocked him down with a single blow.
"You little brat, do you take my words like crap? I already said if you don't hold back your strength, you'll be unconscious for a month. Who the hell has time to wait for you for a month?" The old man grew angrier the more he cursed, finished with a stick, and kicked again.
"You all come one by one. Long Chen, last, Xiao Er, starts with you." The old man shouted, and Second Master had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk out.
