"Are you really not going to stick with me?" I admit you're strong, but facing a super strong is just as dangerous.
Why don't you come with me? If there are imperial corpses there that can be used, I'll get you a puppet first. With your strength, raising an emperor-level puppet is no problem at all."
Having a Human Emperor-level puppet as your guard ensures your safety. If that doesn't work, you can use the puppet to buy time to escape, which puts my mind at ease." Mo Nian left together with Long Chen, but on the way, Mo Nian still refused to give up and tried to persuade him.
Mo Nian knew that Long Chen had even more enemies than he did, and all of them were extremely terrifying. Most importantly, Long Chen had a family and a business, so others would easily know him.
But Mo Nian was different. He was alone, coming and going without a trace. Even if he offended the Brahma Pill Valley, they couldn't catch a trace of him.
Therefore, he was especially worried about Long Chen's safety. This time, he advanced to Immortality, awakened the secret technique inheritance of Wuliang Palace, and learned to raise puppets. This secret technique was truly defying the heavens.
Mo Nian had just awakened that puppet, and it already possessed such terrifying combat power. This made Mo Nian extremely dependent on this move. He planned to get one for Long Chen first.
A warm current flowed through Long Chen's heart. This guy was struggling to protect himself, yet still thinking of him. He had to admit, having such a brother was truly a blessing.
"We're taking different paths. I have endless potential to tap into myself, so there's no need to put precious energy into anything else.
I need to study my cultivation method carefully. Once I do, my strength will definitely surprise you. Under the Human Emperor, I am invincible—this is no exaggeration. Long Chen said.
"Alright, then I won't worry about you. I'll go see if I can get some puppets. If I have too many, I'll give you one or two later." Mo Nian knew Long Chen's personality and didn't insist anymore.
"In that case, let's part ways here!"
"Smack!"
Long Chen and Mo Nian each gave each other a hard pat on the shoulder, nodded to each other, and turned to leave.
Long Chen took out a formation disk, a special one Xia Chen had made. This disk could help Long Chen determine the location of Lingxiao Academy.
However, because the distance was too great, the pointer kept shaking wildly and couldn't pinpoint the exact position. Long Chen activated it ten times in a row, and seven times it roughly pointed in one direction, and Long Chen sped forward in that direction.
Although Long Chen was currently weak, he was not panicked at all, because he had Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er around. If it weren't for Mo Nian having puppets, Long Chen would have summoned them to fight.
However, Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er couldn't absorb as much thunderfire power in the Heavenly Fire Demon Domain, so they converted that power into runes, sealed them within their bodies, and slowly digested them.
They had sealed away too much thunder and fire power, nearly beyond what they could endure, leaving their power less than one-tenth of their total power.
Moreover, a super battle could very likely break the seal inside their bodies, which would be extremely dangerous. Therefore, the two of them had only made a move once inside the Heavenly Fire Demon Domain.
In fact, that time, unless absolutely necessary, they were reluctant to act, because there was too much energy within them to control so much thunder and fire power.
After the sea of thunder and fire rampaged through, they could only reclaim a small portion; most could not, and it was completely wasted.
So, if you can stop them from making a move, try not to let them do so. It's like they're too stuffed—once they do, they'll spit it out, and once they do, there's no way to take it back.
However, if they encountered ordinary Six-Vein Heavenly Saint-level experts, they could easily handle them on their own without much impact, which was why Long Chen felt fearless and didn't need to rest, just hurried on his way.
"Where exactly is the problem?"
Long Chen couldn't help but mutter. He had activated the Eight-Star Battle Body based on past experience and had never had problems before. So why was it now going wrong?
At first, the Eight-Star Battle Body was fine, but the moment the power of the Eight Stars was fully connected, its balance instantly became unbalanced.
It was like a spinning top spinning rapidly, spinning normally without any abnormalities, but just as its speed reached its peak, the inside suddenly began to loosen and fall apart.
Fortunately, at that time he held the Dragonbone Evil Moon, which could carry all his power; otherwise, he would have exploded and died.
If it had been any other weapon, it wouldn't have been able to carry so much power. Either the weapon would shatter, Long Chen's body would shatter, or all would have been destroyed together. Thinking back now, Long Chen still broke out in a cold sweat.
"The problem is that you shouldn't have been clever enough to use the aura of the Galaxy and Firmament Technique to mask the energy fluctuations of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique." Suddenly, the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron rang out.
"Senior, you don't need to go into seclusion anymore?" Hearing the sound of the Qiankun Cauldron, Long Chen couldn't help but feel both surprised and delighted.
"I've already sealed away that energy. The rest is just waiting to be slowly digested."
Qiankun Cauldron continued, "Let's talk about the Eight-Star Battle Body. Do you have a clear premonition? When the Eight-Star Battle Body is activated, your power rivals that of a Human Emperor."
Even if you're weaker than a true Human Emperor, you're only half a step weaker. With your rich combat experience and various divine arts, even a true Human Emperor would have the right to fight to the death, right! "
Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling, and it's extremely clear and very strong." Long Chen hurriedly said; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken such bold words. It wasn't boasting, but confidence coming from deep within his soul.
"Your intuition was correct, but your mistake was lacking dominance. You feared others would recognize your identity, so you used the aura of the Galaxy and Firmament Technique to cover it up. That concealment was the reason for your failure.
I can tell you, from now on, you can no longer use the aura of the Galaxy Sky Technique to mask the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, because the power of the Eight-Star Battle Body has far surpassed the limits of the Starry River Sky Technique. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"So, does that mean my identity can no longer be hidden?" Long Chen's heart raced wildly. After the Qiankun Cauldron's reminder, he immediately understood the key point.
"Yes, the Eight-Star Battle Body is the power of utmost strength and yang, the ultimate truth and madness, the courage to forge ahead, and the resolve to die a hundred times without regret.
This time, you're lucky—with the Dragon Bone Evil Moon helping you—but there will definitely be no next time, because the aura of the Eight-Star Battle Body has already solidified and can't contain any other energy. Besides, try circulating the Galaxy Sky Technique. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen shuddered all over. The Galaxy phenomenon that should have been summoned now showed no sign of movement. At that moment, it seemed there was no trace of the Galaxy Sky Art operating within him, and even his memory of the technique had become blurred.
"What ...?" Long Chen was so shocked his mouth dropped open.
"The Galaxy Firmament Technique has already been absorbed by the Eight-Star Battle Body. From now on, you can only use the true Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique." Qiankun Cauldron said.
"I see, I get it!"
Hearing the explanation from the Qiankun Cauldron, Long Chen was instantly enlightened. The moment he understood, the star sea within his dantian began to spin rapidly, and a vast aura instantly filled his entire body.
Long Chen couldn't help but shout
:
"Eight-Star Battle Body—activate!"
Behind Long Chen, eight stars lit up simultaneously,A raging aura of supreme strength and yang swept across all worlds.
