Chapter 404 - Eight Desolate Dragon Fruit
The Dragon Jade even reacted to it. This indicated that there was something special about the dragon illusion in the sky! When the dancing dragon's eyes projected a ray of light into Long Chen's eyes, Long Chen felt the entire world disappear. He looked around in shock and found himself in the middle of a river. The substance flowing in the river was not water, but strange, invisible ripples. The invisible ripples were like gusts of wind rushing past him, never to return.
As the ripples flowed past him, Long Chen felt his body rapidly aging. Wrinkles gradually appeared on his skin, his back became bent, his white hair turned pale, and his strength disappeared. It was a completely irresistible force!
Long Chen was a helpless bystander, unable to stop his rapid aging. The river flowed quickly, and he soon aged beyond recognition. His body weakened and his last breath left his body before he realized he was dead.
"Ahh!"
Long Chen woke up in shock, looking around to find himself back in the Counter Essence Realm. The strange river around him had disappeared. He quickly checked his body and found that there was no change at all. He was still fine! He hadn't aged at all, and everything appeared to be just an illusion.
However, it was quite a terrifying experience.
At this moment, Long Chen noticed that the translucent dragon in the sky was no longer looking at him but was flying around above his head. Due to its presence, the three guards protecting the Eight Desolate Dragon Fruit, who were at the Eighth River Stage, all noticed Long Chen!
This earth-shattering anomaly was very likely related to Long Chen. They immediately rushed over, and one of them looked at Long Chen and shouted, "Who are you? Show me your identity token!"
If these three guys weren't killed, it would cause a huge commotion. Long Chen used the Soul Swallowing Gaze to see that there was no one within a single Li. He quickly made up his mind. Now that the dragon had exposed him, the only way out was to kill them all.
Without hesitation, Long Chen unsheathed the Demon Emperor Sword and rushed towards one of the guards. At this moment, even without using the Dragon Soul Transformation or the Demon Seed Planting Technique, he had about four times more Qi than them, so his speed was far beyond theirs!
"Demon Emperor Sword Qi!" Long Chen's eyes were cold as he wildly lashed out. The Immortal Guard at the front was taken aback and hurriedly defended himself. However, he couldn't stop the Demon Emperor Sword Qi. His Intermediate Earth-tier defensive technique was instantly broken by Long Chen. The Demon Emperor Sword Qi directly hit him and cut him in half!
He died instantly.
"The Demon Emperor Sword! You are from the Heavenly Demon Palace!"
"Brother Zhang!"
The two Eighth River Stage warriors shouted. They cooperated with each other to take down Long Chen. One of them used all his techniques to attack while the other took out the horn from his waist. Since Long Chen refused to show his identity token and was wearing a mask, he was obviously not from the imperial family! The guard needed to alert the others.
"Shadow Sword Technique!" Long Chen didn't give them a chance. He used Traceless Demon Shadow and disappeared. The two Eighth River Stage warriors couldn't resist Long Chen's fierce attacks, so he easily killed the one fighting him. The one who was about to blow the horn suddenly saw a black shadow flash in front of him. Horrified, he punched out to defend himself, but it was too late. Long Chen's Demon Emperor Sword pierced through his horn, stabbed into his throat, and cut through his neck!
The three Eighth River Stage guards had been killed before they could blow the horn. Long Chen didn't stop there though. He immediately picked the Eight Desolate Dragon Fruit!
"With the Eight Desolate Dragon Fruit, Xiaolang will definitely be able to reach the Category Nine Earth-tier. No one will be able to stop us when we storm the palace.” Long Chen carefully placed the hot and fiery red fruit into a jade box and then into his Universe Pouch.
Just as he was opening his Universe Pouch, a ray of light flew past Long Chen's eyes. He had forgotten about the dragon in the sky because he had been focused on killing the three Immortal Guards. The ray of light flew out of his Universe Pouch and rushed towards the dragon in the sky!
The translucent divine dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, and its huge body swiftly wrapped around the mysterious stone talisman. It rapidly spun and gradually turned invisible. At this moment, Long Chen had a feeling that the translucent dragon and the mysterious stone talisman were actually related.
"Brother Chen, I know what's going on. I said before that the stone talisman lost its spiritual energy and became useless. Now I understand. The dragon just now is actually the spirit of the stone talisman. They were separated by some force, and now they are fusing again. If the fusion is successful, you might obtain another treasure!" Lingxi exclaimed excitedly!
"Is that true?" Long Chen was also very surprised, but he had his worries. He had caused such a big commotion but still hadn't found the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. Although he had the stone talisman, no matter how precious it was, it was not as important to Long Chen as the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit!
Well, since it's already caused such a commotion, let's just make it bigger. It’s not like anyone in the Counter Essence Realm can beat me. I’m sure I’ll find the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit or even the Bloodseal Lotus if I just search the entire place! Long Chen decided not to be stealthy anymore.
The fusion of the stone talisman and the dragon-shaped rune exceeded Long Chen's expectations. He would never have thought that such a situation would occur!
Lingxi had said that it was a treasure, and the mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant in his sea of consciousness was still reacting to it. The Dragon Jade Pendant was the most mysterious object on Long Chen's body, with the ability to suppress even the Inherited Blood Essence of the Dragon Ancestor. It was the most incredible gift he had received from Long Qinglan.
He still needed to keep his identity a secret even though he was going to cause a ruckus. That meant he needed to kill anyone who recognized him.
Long Chen had no mercy for the imperial family. He would have died countless times during his escape from the capital if it weren't for his luck. Now he was here for revenge against the imperial family, and the first step was killing the Sword Devil!
Just as Long Chen thought of the Sword Devil, a figure swiftly approached him. He knew that it was the Sword Devil. Long Chen had always intended to go to him, but he had come instead!
Just a few breaths later, the Sword Devil appeared in front of Long Chen. His eyes were like sharp swords. He first looked at the mysterious situation in the sky, then immediately shifted his gaze to Long Chen. His voice was filled with killing intent when he asked, "Kid, who are you?"
"Someone who's here to take your life!" Long Chen smirked and attacked the Sword Devil!
"A mere Eighth River Stage cultivator actually dares to be arrogant in front of me? What has this world come to?" The Sword Devil chuckled coldly. His arms shook and his Universe Pouch opened. Numerous black swords shot outwards and floated in front of the Sword Devil.
Long Chen saw a total of nine black swords!
"Surprised, aren't you? This is my exclusive technique, the Nine Heaven Battle Swords! I can control nine swords to attack you. How could you possibly oppose me?" the Sword Devil explained with a chuckle.
He held one sword in each hand, while the other swords were suspended around him. This method of controlling swords in midair was extraordinary!
It seemed that the Sword Devil's Qi was lacking, but his control over the swords was extraordinary since he could control so many using only his Qi!
Since the guy claimed to be a devil, there had to be something amazing about him!
Long Chen had put away the Demon Emperor Sword after he killed the three guards earlier. This time, however, he didn't take out the Demon Emperor Sword, but the Star Sword. He wanted to try killing the Sword Devil without exposing himself. If he had to reveal his identity, then he had to kill the opponent without fail!
"You want to fight all nine of my advanced Earth-tier swords with one advanced Earth-tier sword? Let me tell you, the Nine Heaven Battle Swords is the strongest technique in the Cangyang Kingdom. Apart from the Emperor Sword, other sword techniques are nothing compared to the Nine Heaven Battle Swords!"
"You'll find out soon enough whether I’m weak or not." Long Chen smirked. He estimated that the entire Counter Essence Realm knew what was happening at this point. However, people from the Elementary and Intermediate Zones couldn't come over, so there was no one within a Li radius of Long Chen. His goal was to kill the Sword Devil before anyone showed up and extract information about the Nine Heaven Immortal Fruit from him!
Time was of the essence!
With this in mind, Long Chen didn’t hesitate anymore. He held up the Star Sword and suddenly attacked the Sword Devil!
