"Seal!"
Long Chen shouted, purple energy swirling around him. Then the purple energy slowly formed a purple rune that landed on Long Chen's brow.
"Done, thank you, senior!"
Long Chen was thrilled. The sealing method taught by the Qiankun Cauldron was truly both simple and practical.
"This is a seal on the alchemy path, not a bloodline seal. It is not effective for a long time. It needs to be resealed every three days.
And not a trace of bloodline power could be used, or the seal would be immediately broken. "The Qiankun Cauldron reminded them.
Long Chen asked the Qiankun Cauldron for guidance on sealing techniques, and the cauldron passed on the pill sealing technique to Long Chen. This seal was also effective against bloodlines, but its effect was not as strong as Xia Chen's own sealing runes.
But for Long Chen, this was already enough. He only needed to seal the purple blood, so Ying Tian wouldn't be able to sense his aura, and everyone would be on equal footing.
After dealing with the Purple Blood, Long Chen devoured several pills, hiding all his aura, even his soul fluctuations remained stagnant.
After the soul fluctuations stopped, Long Chen's reaction speed would be dozens of times slower than usual, which was extremely dangerous. However, Long Chen had already made preparations.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted from afar, the roar echoing across the sky. Long Chen immediately proceeded cautiously, found a hidden spot, and took another pill.
After taking the pill, Long Chen immediately fell into a deep sleep. In his sleep, he heard a tsunami roar and the earth trembling in his ears.
At this moment, Long Chen was in a half-sleep, half-awake state. In this state, he posed no threat to anyone, so even the strongest assassins couldn't sense any danger he posed.
"Rumble rumble... Not
far from Long Chen, a giant black ape was fiercely battling a violent bear. The tremendous crash made the entire world tremble uncontrollably, sand and stones flew through the air, endless peaks were pierced, and smoke and dust shot up into the sky.
As long as Ying Tian hadn't gone far, he would definitely be drawn by the sounds from this side. In fact, to attract Ying Tian, Long Chen had put himself in danger. To fool Ying Tian's senses, Long Chen was already in an absolutely weak state.
"Roar... The
black giant ape roared wildly, and the bear was also screaming wildly, its voice like thunder from the heavens, shaking the heavens and earth to change color.
Long Chen waited quietly, half asleep and half awake. After an unknown amount of time, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in his soul. In his dreamy eyes, his pupils gradually began to focus.
Soon, Long Chen caught sight of a transparent figure lying on a cliff in front of him.
That was the best place to watch the battle between the giant ape and the violent bear. Long Chen had calculated correctly—once Ying Tian arrived, he would definitely go there to watch.
A smile gradually appeared on Long Chen's face. Lying in the grass, he peered through the gaps in the trees to observe the entire cliff. Only then would he not sense it.
With a loud explosion, the giant ape was knocked down by the violent bear. Clearly, the violent bear was superior. The giant ape was injured, and the injured giant ape instantly went berserk, furiously biting at the violent bear.
Soon, the Violent Bear was also injured and entered a berserk state. The two Saint-level magical beasts fought each other to the death, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The transparent figure lying on the cliff stood motionless, and Long Chen didn't dare move, quietly waiting.
"Boom!"
Finally, the black giant ape was defeated by the Violent Bear and was heavily struck to the ground. Its chest was torn open, its internal organs spilling out. Severely injured, it could no longer maintain its berserk state and lay on the ground, barely clinging to life.
The violent bear opposite roared angrily, opening its bloody jaws and biting down the black ape's throat. The giant ape tried to struggle but was too weak to pry open the bear's mouth.
"Whoosh."
At that moment, the transparent figure vanished, and at the very instant he vanished, Long Chen's figure also vanished.
"Pfft!"
A thin, long sword pierced precisely through the back of Bear's head. The strike was fast, precise, and fierce. A sword aura shot out from his forehead, piercing through Bear's head with a single strike.
This final strike was nearly perfect, so precise it was almost unbelievable, as if his eyes could see through the gaps in the bear's skull through flesh and blood, easily killing him in one blow.
The bear didn't react at all, its whole body stiffened, and it collapsed to the ground.
"Pfft!"
The transparent figure withdrew the sword from the back of Bear's head, step by step toward the black giant ape.
"Roar!"
The black giant ape was now on the verge of death, yet it still used its last bit of strength to let out a defiant roar.
"Whoosh!"
The transparent figure slowly raised his longsword, then stabbed fiercely, aiming straight for the ape's vital spot on the forehead. Clearly, even if the giant ape didn't kill it, it wouldn't live long and posed no threat to it.
"Boom!"
The moment his sharp sword pierced the black giant ape's brow, two divine lights shot out from its massive mouth, and violent thunder and flames instantly enveloped the man.
"What?"
The sudden turn of events startled the man. Violent thunder and flames enveloped him, and billions of thunder and fire runes bound him together like a rice dumpling.
Immediately after, a fierce wind howled behind him, and a giant hand covered in stars struck his back hard.
With a loud explosion, the Starry Giant Hand pierced through his back. Long Chen's strike was overwhelming, unstoppable.
"Whoosh."
Just as Long Chen pierced through the man's body with a palm strike, eight figures appeared simultaneously in front of him, each with a bloody hole in their chest.
At that moment, Long Chen's expression changed drastically. This fatal blow had been taken by his eight clones, split into eight parts, making this strike insufficient to be fatal.
"Cloud Dragon Presents Claw!"
Long Chen roared, his palm still in his chest. Suddenly, he trembled, and the sound of a dragon's roar echoed across the sky.
With a loud explosion, the person trapped by Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er shattered instantly, turning into a mist of blood.
"Puff puff puff..."
At the moment his body shattered, the other eight figures simultaneously spewed blood. They formed hand seals simultaneously, splitting the entire mist of blood in the sky.
"Long Chen, very good. This time you're ruthless. I'll remember you in Yingtian."
The eight figures shouted coldly at once, their voices gritted and their usual composure gone.
"Remember me?" That's too early to say. "
Buzz!"
As Long Chen finished speaking, the thunder orb merged with the flame lotus, instantly engulfing the entire world. The eight figures were enveloped together with Long Chen.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion sounded as the void collapsed massively, endless Dao runes danced, and symbols of thunder and flame devoured heaven and earth.
