"Buzz"—
Long Chen entered a meditative state, the Heavenly Dao runes flowing around him. As Long Chen gradually opened his energy barrier, the Heavenly Dao energy began to attract him.
The energy between heaven and earth is like a vast ocean. When Long Chen abandons defense, the energy begins to assimilate his power—this is the fusion of the Heavenly Dao.
However, this assimilation is not absolute, but relative. While Long Chen adapts to the laws of the Heavenly Dao, the laws also accept him. In fact, this is a form of mutual adaptation.
At this moment, Long Chen was fully alert. He didn't know if the Heavenly Dao laws of Emperor Heaven would target him. If they did, something bad might happen.
What Long Chen feared most was that if the Heavenly Dao started targeting him and his inner demons took advantage of the opening, he would be attacked from both front and rear.
Long Chen tried to communicate with the Qiankun Cauldron, but it ignored him, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
The Qiankun Cauldron had already recognized him as its master, yet he couldn't summon it at this moment. This meant there were some things it could not speak.
Long Chen never doubted the Qiankun Cauldron. Even if it didn't say anything, there must be a reason, and he believed it would never harm him.
But the fact that it didn't answer was also giving Long Chen a hint: he had to guard against the ambush of his inner demons.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Centered
on Long Chen, ripples flowed. Some of these ripples were outward, some inward. As Long Chen lowered his guard, the laws of the Heavenly Dao began to freely enter and exit.
The laws of Emperor Heaven differ from those of other worlds; compared to Emperor Heaven, the laws of other heavens are incomplete.
Therefore, cultivators outside the Emperor Heaven cannot gain recognition from the Emperor's Heavenly Laws. As a result, many people cannot use their magical arts or divine abilities because they cannot communicate with the power of heaven and earth.
Most cultivators' ultimate moves rely on the power of heaven and earth. After all, human strength is limited, while the power of the Heavenly Dao is infinite. Powerful spells can summon Heavenly Dao energy hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than oneself.
And when they could no longer draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao, ninety-nine percent of cultivators felt as if their cultivation had been stripped away, reverted to their original form, filled with fear.
Being able to communicate with the Heavenly Dao is of utmost importance to the powerful beings beyond the Emperor's Heaven; otherwise, they have no chance of winning against local powerhouses.
"Rumble rumble... As
time passed, the laws of Heaven around Long Chen became increasingly active. Faintly, countless Heavenly Dao runes danced back and forth, forming a torrent.
Not far from Long Chen, Bai Letian and the four elders of Tiandi, Fenglei, and Tiandi were all watching him. When they saw the flood of runes around Long Chen, Elder Tianlei couldn't help but say, "
Dean Long Chen, truly a super genius. This is just the beginning, and already such a powerful aura."
They had all experienced Heavenly Dao assimilation and knew that this assimilation was mildest at first and usually showed no abnormalities. But as time went on, as the energy within them began to repel the power of the Heavenly Dao, the surrounding fluctuations intensified.
So-called rejection isn't about incompatibility, but about the conflict between receiving and teaching. The laws of Heaven have their own will: what it gives you, you can't resist; what doesn't, you can't fight for.
For example, a wood-type cultivator undergoing assimilation of the Heavenly Dao finds that other energies are unnecessary and must resist this energy to avoid absorbing too much and affecting the power of the origin.
And when the wood element energy within the Heavenly Dao appears, it naturally absorbs it frantically, creating a kind of rejection and resistance—a process every cultivator must go through.
Long Chen had just begun, and the fluctuations in the Heavenly Dao were already so intense, it meant the energy contained within his body was so immense that even these Heavenly Saint experts were shocked.
"Such a strong fluctuation from the very beginning—I'm afraid that's not a good sign." Elder Ling Tian said with a worried expression.
"If it were a good thing, Long Chen wouldn't have invited us to help protect him. Alright, it's about time. You four guard the four sides, I'll guard the center. Since we're defending against strong enemies from outside, we must also be ready to rescue Long Chen at any moment." Bai Letian said.
The four nodded, their figures flickering and vanishing simultaneously.
"Rumble rumble ..."
At that moment, the space around Long Chen suddenly collapsed, and endless runes swirled. Within those runes were countless energies such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness. These were the most fundamental energies of this world, forming the world.
As soon as they appeared, Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er immediately sprang into action. They transformed into two giant dragons, circling around Long Chen, frantically absorbing the flames and thunder power of heaven and earth, blocking the rest of their powers from within.
They essentially filtered these Heavenly Dao runes. After their filtering, specks of starlight and some blood-red divine radiance fell toward Long Chen.
"Buzz!"
As the energy landed on Long Chen, his body trembled violently. A sacred dragon's roar rang out, and then his divine ring automatically activated, with endless stars lighting up within it.
"Boom"
At that moment, billions of miles of void suddenly exploded. Long Chen was like a primordial beast awakened by the scent of flesh and blood, frantically devouring the power it needed, secretly absorbing it in the most ferocious and savage way.
"Rumble..."
As the energy within Long Chen awakened, the world trembled. At that moment, it seemed as if the entire world was enraged, and endless dark clouds enveloped Long Chen.
But Long Chen paid no attention at all, continuing to frantically devour energy. Not only did he sense the awakening of Dragon Blood and Star Power, but even the Seven-Colored Supreme Blood and Purple Blood Power, which had been dormant, began to fluctuate.
Long Chen didn't need to do anything; he only needed to follow his instincts for life, letting his star power, dragon blood power, seven-colored supreme blood, and purple blood power greedily suck the energy of heaven and earth.
The Heavenly Dao grew increasingly violent, the laws grew ever more intense, and the will of destruction began to gradually envelop Long Chen.
At that moment, veins bulged on Long Chen's forehead. Although he kept warning himself not to be angry, when he sensed that will of destruction, his killing intent flared up again.
The Emperor Heaven is said to be the highest and strongest day among the nine heavens. It represents the pinnacle of this world. Long Chen had countless times wished for a fairer world.
However, the hope that quietly arose for him was instantly shattered. The highest laws of this world still wanted to destroy him. There was no such thing as fairness in this world.
"Boom!"
Long Chen, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly stood up. He looked up at the endless dark clouds above the sky, his eyes filled with rage.
"Anger has always been a sign of weakness."
Just then, a chilling voice came from behind. Hearing it, Long Chen's heart raced wildly. He took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and looked at the figure: "
You finally came."
