"Tianfu, this is outrageous!"
Outside the main gate of Lingxiao Academy, Long Chen and the others wore grim expressions, while Luo Ning gritted her teeth, her eyes nearly spitting fire.
Tianfu sent a gift—a huge purple crystal. However, this purple crystal was not particularly dazzling; instead, it was filled with the scent of blood.
Only the essence blood of the Purple Blood lineage can refine this crystal.
However, this amethyst is not the essence of purple blood; rather, it is an impurity within purple blood. Every time a disciple of the Purple Blood lineage advances, they remove impurities from their bodies.
These impurities were purple powder, something the Purple Blood Clan never collected, but the several-zhang-long amethyst before them was refined from the essence blood of countless people.
Clearly, Tianfu had absorbed part of the purple blood essence, refined the impurities into crystal, and sent them to Long Chen.
This crystal, several zhang tall, likely represented the extinction of a Purple Blood tribe and the fall of hundreds of millions of Purple Blood clan lives.
This was Tianfu's challenge letter to Long Chen. Long Chen had killed that Fate Hunter clan expert, and the clan immediately retaliated.
Long Chen's face darkened, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked, clearly furious to the extreme. However, Long Chen had no idea where Tianfu's lair was.
Although Tianfu made a high-profile comeback, they were an extremely mysterious and cunning group of people. Only when they sought out others could no one find their trace.
"Long Chen, don't get angry. They're deliberately provoking you." Yu Qingxuan comforted Long Chen, holding his hand.
Clearly, the opponent's goal was very simple: to provoke Long Chen. The next time the people from Tianfu fought Long Chen, Long Chen would easily lose his composure, which would be very advantageous for them.
Long Chen knew the opponent's intentions, but it was impossible for him not to get angry. However, anger was useless—he didn't even know where the opponent was, and his strength had nowhere to go.
"Tianfu, sooner or later I will send them to the underworld." Long Chen took a deep breath, forcing down the anger in his heart.
Long Chen had Luo Bing and Luo Ning identify the aura, and found that the purple blood was mixed and impure, not from the Luo family's lineage. This put Long Chen at ease.
The Purple Blood lineage has many branches. As long as it's not the Luo family's branch, Long Chen has no reason to be too anxious.
Luo Bing and Luo Ning sensed for a while longer and finally confirmed that this branch was not the same as the Purple Blood Xu family, but rather a separate branch.
Long Chen told Luo Bing and Luo Ning to keep these Purple Blood Crystals safe. After all, they were all from the Purple Blood lineage, and if one day their origin could be confirmed, it would be good to have an explanation.
"Xia Chen, ..."
After arranging the Purple Blood Crystal, Long Chen looked at Xia Chen and was shocked to find that Xia Chen's aura hadn't changed at all—he was still at the level of a Three Extremes Supreme.
Just as Long Chen thought the Destiny Fruit was ineffective against Xia Chen, he smiled slightly and pointed to his forehead. Suddenly, an Immortal Script Seal appeared on his forehead.
At that moment, Long Chen suddenly understood and laughed, "Kid, when did you learn to be so sneaky?" Long
Chen knew Xia Chen was very cunning, actually using runes to seal the aura and abilities of his Destiny Being.
"It was my idea, hehe. The sinister people definitely feel better than defeating the enemy openly." Guo Ran chuckled.
Guo Ran and Xia Chen were always on the scale, never leaving the weight. When Xia Chen advanced to the Destiny Practitioner, Guo Ran was startled.
Xia Chen's Destiny Aura was terrifying; with every movement he made, the Heavenly Dao aura flowed, and since he had just awakened Destiny, the aura was uncontrollable and naturally leaked out.
Guo Ran immediately suggested that Xia Chen design a seal to seal the aura of destiny. On one hand, it could quietly control the power of destiny; on the other, at a critical moment, breaking the seal could catch the opponent off guard.
Xia Chen was a formation master. Now that he had awakened the Mandate of Heaven and had the power of destiny to assist, his control over formations and talismans was dozens of times greater than before. Now, his strength was unfathomable.
But the stronger they become, the more they want to keep a low profile. Especially after spending so much time with Guo Ran, they always want to take the road less traveled. Following the principle of 'they can outwit you but never confront you head-on,' Xia Chen created a seal to seal the power of destiny.
Right now, in the entire Dragonblood Legion, only Long Chen and Guo Ran knew Xia Chen was a terrifying Destiny Holder. If he fought fiercely, one would be Yin and the other accurate. Who would have thought that a Three Extreme Supreme would suddenly become a super terrifying Destiny Holder? Hmm! So savage!
"By the way, boss, all my Saint-level immortal gold has been refined. Xia Chen and I think we should first forge a Saint-level divine weapon for you!" Otherwise, your Nine Heaven-Opening Techniques would be useless! Guo Ran said.
"Just finished refining now?" Long Chen was stunned. He had been back from the Xuanling Realm for some time now, so the refining speed was a bit slow.
But then again, that was a Saint-level divine material. With Guo Ran's strength, being able to refine it was already quite rare. It would be normal for the process to take a bit longer.
Long Chen looked at the Dragon Blood warriors and noticed that their weapons and armor still bore no signs of Saint-level energy. He immediately understood.
"Boss..." Gu Yang and the others spoke up simultaneously.
Long Chen waved his hand, cutting them off directly: "Since I'm the boss, I'll make all the decisions."
All divine materials are given priority to the brothers of the legion. The Nine Heavens Passage is about to open, monsters are emerging one after another, and the Dragonblood Legion must be armed to the teeth. "
But boss, you ..."
Guo Ran was still unwilling to give up. Without a suitable weapon, Long Chen couldn't fully unleash his strength, which made them very uncomfortable.
"Enough talk. You're the boss, and I'm the boss?" Long Chen said irritably.
Long Chen knew they meant well, but he had many trump cards now, so missing a weapon was no big deal.
But the Dragonblood Warriors were different. They were still Three Extreme Supremes and not yet Destiny Warriors. When facing ordinary Destiny Ones, they weren't afraid, but when faced with Destiny Ones like Nether Dragon Tianzhao, they had no strength to fight back.
If these saint-grade divine materials were added to their weapons and armor, their defense and attack would take their defense and attack to a new level.
Most importantly, when the Dragonblood Legion acts collectively, the improvement of one or two people doesn't show much difference, but when the overall boost is achieved and the powers merge together, it's truly terrifying.
Seeing Long Chen say this, Guo Ran had no choice. Xia Chen and Guo Ran had been overjoyed at refining the divine materials, but they found that due to their limited abilities, extracting the divine materials was extremely difficult and caused a lot of waste.
But to save time, wasting it was inevitable. After gritting his teeth and completing the refinement, he realized that if he forged divine weapons for Long Chen, he couldn't arm the Dragon Blood Warriors; if he had armed the Dragon Blood Warriors, he couldn't forge weapons for Long Chen anymore.
This left Xia Chen and Guo Ran feeling quite frustrated. Everyone held a private meeting, planning to secretly forge a divine weapon for Long Chen.
Before anyone could start researching, Yue Zifeng immediately objected, saying that if they dared to do this, the boss would definitely turn hostile on the spot. So, Guo Ran tried to probe today, and just as Yue Zifeng predicted, the plan was completely out of reach.
In the end, Guo Ran had no choice but to give up and began collecting the weapons and armor of the Dragonblood warriors to modify them. After all, he had crafted them himself, so modifying them wouldn't be difficult.
As long as saint-grade divine materials are infused into them, the modified weapons and armor, though not comparable to saint weapons, already carry a trace of the aura of a holy weapon. Among immortal divine weapons, they are definitely top-tier.
"Rumble...
Several days later, the entire world began to tremble, and a terrifying aura came from all corners of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Beams of divine light shot out from the gates of each world. When these divine lights converged, the sky shattered, revealing a massive portal.
"The Gate of Nine Heavens has finally opened!"
The old man sweeping the academy stopped what he was doing and looked into the distance. His cloudy eyes gradually cleared, as if piercing through that gate.
"What was meant to happen has finally come."
