The battlefield was still the same battlefield, but not a single ghostly shadow was gone. However, in the endless battlefield, many divine weapons had disappeared, and even fragments had vanished.
Clearly, the battlefield had already been cleaned up, and not just once—even the bodies of many powerful warriors had disappeared.
Long Chen stood in the void, gazing at the boundless battlefield. For some reason, he suddenly felt a wave of loss in his heart.
"Is my world really all about killing? Why can't all living beings coexist peacefully? Looking at the blood-stained battlefield, Long Chen couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Slaughter does not bring joy; it only brings endless pain. Yet, in order to survive, Long Chen can only kill.
The Minghong Blade shattered—that was its greatest wish. Long Chen fulfilled it, but Long Chen himself was left with nothing but muttering in his heart, feeling deeply distressed.
Blood Drink, Dragon Bone Evil Moon, and Minghong Blade were all Long Chen's closest companions, but none of them stayed with him until the end.
Every time he lost them, Long Chen felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had lost his way and felt lost.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen sat on a mound of earth. A gentle breeze blew, dust swirling, and the air was thick with the stench of blood. Long Chen seemed to sense countless vengeful spirits surrounding him, some whimpering, some cursing.
But Long Chen didn't care. He sat there quietly like a statue, watching the sun rise and set, and the day passed just like that.
Long Chen just sat there quietly, not moving at all. Over the course of day and night, Long Chen had thought about many things, his thoughts extremely chaotic.
"Phew."
Long Chen slowly stood up, suddenly surprised to find that his body had fully recovered. After all, he hadn't actively healed his injuries until now.
He wanted to calm down and reflect on something in his weak state; he wanted to see the world from the perspective of the weak.
But unexpectedly, in just one day and one night, his body had fully recovered, even his overdrawn soul was fully replenished, and his overall condition was as good as could be.
"What's going on?" Long Chen looked at his own hands, his face showing disbelief.
"The Seven-Colored Supreme Blood has returned. It itself possesses powerful regenerative abilities. The power of the Five Elements combined with the power of yin and yang forms an innate grand formation. Didn't you notice it yourself?" At that moment, the voice of a dragon clan expert rang out.
Only then did Long Chen begin his inner vision. He found that his physical body had undergone a strange transformation. Seven-Colored Supreme Blood flowed back and forth inside his body, like a group of diligent craftsmen patrolling everywhere. Wherever there was anything lacking, they worked overtime.
The Seven-Colored Supreme Blood was like a child who had reclaimed its roots, excitedly renovating its residence and carefully decorating everything here.
However, within Long Chen's blood, there was still a purple energy in a dormant state, and that purple energy came from her mother's purple blood.
"Wait, where's my dragon blood?" Long Chen suddenly cried out, realizing that the dragon blood had already disappeared.
"Don't panic. The Seven-Colored Supreme Blood is your innate essence blood, and it is most compatible with your body.
If dragon blood fuses with your Seven-Colored Supreme Blood, it will actually cancel out their divinity. I have channeled your dragon blood into your tendons. The dragon clan expert said.
Only then did Long Chen notice that his tendons had begun to turn golden, and the Dragon Power had been stored in a new place. Only then did Long Chen feel relieved.
"You should thank Long Aotian—no, you should thank the Long family. To activate your spiritual blood, spiritual roots, and spiritual bones, the Long family nearly went bankrupt.
To prevent any spiritual blood, roots, or bones from losing even a trace of spirituality, they used the best resources and ultimately made your wish. The dragon clan expert chuckled.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to your excellent guidance." Long Chen chuckled as well.
If the dragon clan experts hadn't encircled him, Long Chen would have killed Long Aotian long ago. Even if Long Chen reclaimed his spiritual blood, root, and bones, he would suffer huge losses.
Now things are great—the spiritual blood, spiritual roots, and spiritual bones have been raised by others. Once they are taken back, Long Chen doesn't have to worry or struggle anymore.
Thinking back to when the dragon clan powerhouse tried to stop him, Long Chen was still somewhat dissatisfied. In fact, everything the dragon clan powerhouse did was for his own good. Thinking of his past temper, Long Chen felt somewhat ashamed.
"Senior, can I now absorb the Purple Blood and Supreme Bone?" Long Chen asked.
The Supreme Bone was already inside Long Chen's body, stuck at the gap that had been dug out earlier. However, at that time, Long Chen had barely fused with the Seven-Colored Supreme Blood and no longer had the strength to fuse the Purple Blood and Supreme Bone.
"That's exactly what I wanted to remind you. Don't rush to merge just yet—let me tell you a few things." said the dragon clan expert.
"I'm all ears, junior." Long Chen hurriedly said.
The Dragon Clan expert said, "All along, there have been many things I can't tell you, afraid of leaking heavenly secrets and causing you unbearable karma, which could harm you."
But now things are different. With the fortune of the Saint King bestowed upon you, your bad luck has gradually been offset, so you should be able to bear even stronger karma.
Let me tell you first, behind that gate, in the world besides humans, all kinds of beings are present.
Once the gate opens, they will slaughter the human race to their heart's content. The battle at that time will be far bloodier than this Holy King Assembly. "
Senior, was this Saint King Conference orchestrated entirely by Great Brahma?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
"Since it was orchestrated by Great Brahma Heaven, he's also human, and his followers are all human. If he does this, isn't he just shooting himself in the foot?" Long Chen asked in confusion.
"You child, sometimes smart, sometimes muddle-headed. Are all humans followers of Great Brahma?" The dragon clan expert said irritably.
"You mean that the Great Brahma Heaven wants to use this opportunity to eliminate dissenters?" Anyone who doesn't side with him will be eliminated? Long Chen gasped.
If that's really the case, then the Great Brahma is truly ruthless. This is a true case of 'those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish.'
"But how can Great Brahma ensure that the beings behind the gate won't kill his followers?" Long Chen asked.
"The strength of the Great Brahma is beyond your imagination. When it comes to endurance and playing dumb to outsmart others, he's at the level of a founding master.
His followers spread across the heavens and ten lands, and what you see is only the tip of the iceberg.
You don't know how much faith power he has accumulated over billions of years, but you can calculate it from people like Empuda and Liao Bencang.
They were just minor underlings under Great Brahma, yet already possessed such powerful faith power, able to easily fight across realms. It wasn't hard to estimate just how strong Great Brahma was. The dragon clan expert said.
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. The Great Brahma was even more terrifying than he had imagined. Long Chen had always believed that Empuda and Liao Bencang were both the right hands of the Great Brahma Heaven.
It wasn't until the Eight Divine Banners appeared that Long Chen realized the two were just small fry. No one knew if there was an even stronger presence above them. The power of Great Brahma Heaven was unimaginably great.
"The cultivation of Great Brahma Heaven, empowered by the power of faith, is not restricted by the laws of heaven and earth.
As the saying goes, 'grains of sand form a tower,' and the Great Brahma is the one standing at the very top. After all this, I want to remind you not to underestimate the Great Brahma.
Your identity as the Nine Star heir is well disguised—even the Eight Great Divine Banners haven't suspected you. You must keep up your disguise.
Once your identity is exposed, Great Brahma might personally deal with you. Before you mature, you're not on the same level as him. A direct confrontation will surely lead to death. The dragon clan expert said.
"I understand, junior." Long Chen said seriously.
"Let's not mention the Great Brahma for now. Let's talk about those beings behind the gate. With your strength, among the young beings behind the gate of the same level, you can only rank above average." said the dragon clan expert.
"No way!"
Long Chen suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief.
