Long Chen watched the divine patterns in his palm gradually fade, his heart filled with excitement. The fusion of the 'cross' with the dragon diagram marked that this move was no longer just an ordinary cross-level God-Slaying Technique.
Because behind the dual maps, there was a faint rune, but it was too dim to be seen clearly.
But on that rune, Long Chen sensed a familiar aura. In the mortal realm, he had sensed this aura from Emperor Yun Shang and the others.
As for the Imperial Blood Seal, Long Chen was not unfamiliar with it, but in the Immortal Realm, it was his first time encountering it.
"There are some things you understand, I don't need to say much, nor is it convenient to say them out loud.
After you condensed the Emperor's Blood Seal, your connection with that person became even closer. Last time, it used up a huge amount of energy to transmit power from a distance just to help you.
Additionally, for some unspeakable reasons, it has fallen into trouble. Cultivating your Imperial Blood Seal well is the only way to awaken it sooner. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
Upon hearing this, Long Chen's heart shook violently. After the dragon clan powerhouse helped him resolve the crisis that time, he had lost contact.
He had never understood why the dragon clan experts stopped communicating with him. Now, judging from the words in the Qiankun Cauldron, the cost of teleporting power from a distance was extremely high for it.
The use of the word "awaken" in the Qiankun Cauldron shows the seriousness of the situation. Although the dragon clan powerhouse and Long Chen have no master-disciple title, they are in reality, and they are the ones who have helped him the greatest as he steps into cultivation.
Now, hearing news of it again, Long Chen was filled with mixed emotions. He never expected that the dragon clan elder would fall into trouble for him, and he was filled with guilt.
"How can I help it?" Long Chen said excitedly, wishing he could help it right now.
"Actually, there are some things I don't want to say, and if that guy finds out, he'll definitely blame me for speaking out of turn.
And you, too, are impatient. I hesitated for a long time before saying this. This matter can't be rushed.
You need to first master the Dragon Blood Cross Godslayer Seal. When you can use it smoothly and your eighth star is activated, you can use the power of the eight stars to feed back the Emperor's Blood Seal.
When your Imperial Blood Seal becomes strong, you can communicate with that guy again. Let me put it this way: its situation is bad—extremely bad, even far worse than the person you first met. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"This ..."
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. When Long Chen first saw the Qiankun Cauldron, even the dragon clan experts were shocked and insisted that Long Chen must obtain it no matter what.
At that time, the Qiankun Cauldron was in a state of deep slumber, covered in copper, almost rotten to the core, in extremely dire condition. Yet the Cauldron said that the condition of a dragon clan powerhouse was far inferior to its original state.
Suddenly, Long Chen remembered that when the dragon clan powerhouse first helped him, they had said they would make a deal with him, and it would save Long Chen's life, and Long Chen would eventually repay it with his life.
But over the years, it had helped Long Chen countless times without ever asking for anything in return. Now, hearing the Qiankun Cauldron say this, Long Chen felt extremely distressed.
"Alright, just keep this in mind. Haste makes waste; you have to eat one bite at a time, and walk the road one step at a time.
So, what you need to do now is continue to improve your control over the Dragon Blood Cross Godslayer technique—the more skilled you are, the better. Ideally, you can reach a level of mastery at the micro level.
This will greatly benefit your future cultivation of the true Cross Godslayer. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"What does it mean to be meticulous?" Long Chen hurriedly asked.
"Let me put it this way: your current Cross Extinction God is all one-hit bursts, leaving your blood drained, right?" Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Yes, it was gone in an instant." Long Chen said.
The Qiankun Cauldron said, "Entry-level mastery—with your current bloodline power, you can unleash the Cross God Annihilation a hundred times." "
A hundred times?" Long Chen was startled. How is this possible?
"That's right, a hundred times. I know it's difficult, but there's no choice. The divine power of the Nine Stars lineage is notoriously abnormal, and the difficulty is almost hopeless.
If you can't do this, the power of the Vast Land of Stars can't operate at all. It's even more violent and vast than the power of dragon blood, and could instantly burst you apart.
Therefore, even at the peak of the Nine Star lineage, disciples were as insignificant as the sands of the Ganges, but those who could control the Cross Annihilation God were truly the elite among elites.
Control is key; it's like opening a sluice gate to release water. Right now, you don't have a sluice gate, and every time you release it, it's a breach.
On one hand, this wastes too much energy, venting without purpose, causing power to be scattered and unfocused, and severely reducing power.
On the other hand, this kind of impact is a foolish gamble that hurts the enemy a thousand but harms oneself eight hundred. Although your physical body is strong and you have chaotic space to repair it, it is ultimately not a long-term solution. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"I'll listen to you. I'll take it slow, not rush or rush." Long Chen nodded and said.
"By the way, how are things on your side, senior?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, what do you think?" The Qiankun Cauldron said with a smile.
Long Chen was stunned, then the sound rang out. Previously, the Qiankun Cauldron was basically impossible to strike; it relied entirely on others' power to strike it and rebound on its own.
Just now, it had calmly blocked its own Cross God Annihilation strike, which was already a qualitative leap.
"Hehe, that's great. Our journey was worth it. This time, we really got a win." Long Chen chuckled as well.
After saying this, Long Chen calmed down and continued cultivating the Cross Slayer God. This time, he wanted to control the dragonblood's violent power to make it less violent, while also controlling its output power to unleash the Cross God Slayer more times.
However, dragon blood is naturally violent, and Long Chen must defy its instinctive will, which requires more of his soul power to assist.
Fortunately, Long Chen's soul power was vast as the sea, and he usually didn't know how to use it, but this time it finally came in handy.
This time, Long Chen was very serious because he knew this move was extremely important both for himself and for the dragon clan experts.
Long Chen had never had the chance to repay the favor of the dragon clan powerhouse, which filled him with guilt. He had to become strong quickly.
As time passed, Long Chen's control over the power of dragon blood became increasingly smooth, and with the participation of vast amounts of soul power, the dragon blood became increasingly gentle.
When Long Chen's soul power fused with the power of dragon blood, the resulting force retained the explosive power of dragon blood without erasing its will.
A few days later, Long Chen was already able to control his bloodline power and trigger three consecutive Cross Annihilation Divine Strikes. However, he was shocked to find that the power of these three cross Annihilation Gods was not much weaker than the first time. In fact, because the power was concentrated at a single point and erupted, the destructive power was even more astonishing.
Even the Qiankun Cauldron praised Long Chen's rapid progress. Soon, Long Chen could activate the Cross God Annihilation ten times in a row. His control became increasingly skillful, and he gradually mastered the trick. Just as he was about to charge for a hundred hits, he was interrupted.
"Chief Referee, today is the Thirty-Two Qualifying Round, and you need to personally preside over it." At that moment, a voice came from outside the door.
