  The Foundation Forging experts were blown apart by the two dragons. Blood filled the sky as they wreaked havoc. Of the thousands of Foundation Forging experts, only three hundred managed to live thanks to being on the edge of the battlefield.

  “Dragonblood Legion, kill them all! Don’t leave even a single one alive!” Long Chen was the first to charge forward. Blooddrinker released a powerful saber-image that killed seven Foundation Forging experts in one blow.

  Those seven really were unlucky. After escaping from the Double Dragon Destruction’s rampage, they hadn’t even had time to celebrate their luck before being killed.

  The ancient race experts recovered, but because they had just escaped Meng Qi’s terrifying soul art, their heads still weren’t in the right state. Tang Wan-er’s wind blades slashed through their midst.

  Gu Yang, Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and Guo Ran were leading the rest of the Dragonblood Legion. They were like hungry wolves, killing them rapidly.

  The Foundation Forging experts were horrified. They still didn’t even understand what was happening. Their half-step Kings had been killed, and now thousands of them had been slain. They couldn’t believe their eyes.

  After escaping from Meng Qi’s soul art, they saw only a few of them remaining. They didn’t even know if they were still dreaming. It was at that moment that the merciless blades struck.

  Many of them died without even knowing what had happened. The world had transformed suddenly. Even once they became ghosts, they would still be confused ghosts.

  “Don’t let them escape!” shouted Long Chen upon seeing some of the Foundation Forging experts start fleeing in terror.

  Four huge figures appeared. Three waves of dragon breath and a ray of divine light blew apart the Foundation Forging experts that had just fled a few miles.

  Perhaps a Foundation Forging expert could block one Earth Dragon’s fire breath, but they couldn’t block the combined attack of three Earth Dragons and one Redeye Sacred Blood Phoenix. They were instantly blown apart.

  The ones that were fleeing were killed by the Magical Beasts. The ones still fighting were being hacked to death. Many of them died to the Dragonblood warriors’ blades.

  The Dragonblood warriors had completely stabilized their realm after that huge battle just now. They were accustomed to their new explosive power. The ordinary Dragonblood warriors were rank three Celestials, while the squad leaders were all rank four Celestials.

  Most terrifying of all, they had all consumed the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, and they possessed the Spirit Blood that matched them perfectly. Although it wasn’t as dense as Meng Qi and the others’, once it was activated, their Spirit Blood’s power was still incomparably terrifying. With this many people activating their Spirit Blood at the same time, even Foundation Forging experts couldn’t stop them.

  “Fuck I didn’t even get one, you damn wolves.” Some of the Dragonblood warriors had moved too slowly and had their paths blocked by their brothers.

  “Haha, our achievements are your achievements too. Oh, this fellow is still alive. I won’t fight with you over him.”

  “You really are my good brother!” That person killed a Foundation Forging expert that was half dead and bragged, “Haha, who dares to look down on me? I’m a man who has killed a Foundation Forging expert!”

  “Tch, don’t act so shameless. Boss killed that many half-step Kings, but did he brag at all?” said the other disdainfully.

  Ouyang Qiuyu and the other members of the Xuantian Dao Sect simply watched this scene, unable to say a word for a long time.

  Seeing the Dragonblood warriors cheerfully talking and joking as they cut down the ancient race experts, they were unable to wrap their heads around this reality.

  Once all the Foundation Forging experts had been killed, the Dragonblood warriors began cleaning up the battlefield. Guo Ran was going around, gathering the broken pieces of the King items. His eyes had turned blue with greed. These King item fragments were the treasures he needed the most at this moment.

  “Long Chen, this time, you really caused a huge calamity.” Ouyang Qiuyu finally recovered from her shock. She sighed. “However, it’s fine. No matter how big of a calamity you cause, I will help you bear it.”

  “The truth is-” said Long Chen.

  “There’s no need to say anything. I finally understand why you would kill so many of those ancient race bastards in the Immemorial Path. If I was still my young self, I’d also kill them all. But this is also good; after so many years, I, Ouyang Qiuyu, can finally taste the flavor of causing trouble.” Ouyang Qiuyu smiled as if she was returning to the springtime of her youth.

  The battle was over and the spoils were gathered. The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples silently looked at Long Chen with worship and passion. Long Chen was amazing.

  “What do you plan on doing now?” asked Ouyang Qiuyu. She couldn’t figure out what Long Chen was thinking.

  “The matter of the Corrupt path and ancient races has been handled. Now it should be the turn of the Righteous path. Back then, I intentionally let Ji Changkong off just to make this matter livelier. Just killing him isn’t enough to resolve my hatred. I needed an excuse to destroy the entire Remote Heaven Gang,” said Long Chen.

  “Then are we going to kill our way to the Remote Heaven Gang now?” asked Ouyang Qiuyu.

  “No. I need to give them some time to gather all their people and gather all the power of the Eastern Wasteland’s Righteous path. I need to wait until they smear my name and condemn me,” said Long Chen indifferently.

  “Isn’t that a bit too vicious? Do you know how large the Remote Heaven Gang is? With their power, they can gather practically all the Righteous path’s experts, as well as all their disciples,” said Ouyang Qiuyu.

  “So what?” retorted Long Chen.

  Ouyang Qiuyu’s scalp turned numb. “Some people are just being used by the Remote Heaven Gang and don’t know the truth. They…”

  “They’re innocent, is that right? If they don’t know the truth, they can indiscriminately kill others without fault? Once they kill others and learn the truth, they can just say ‘sorry I didn’t know’ and the matter is settled? There are no innocent people in this world. Do those ignorant people not have brains? In any case, I don’t care. No matter how many the Remote Heaven Gang gathers to handle me, they’re all my enemies, and I’ll kill them all. Sect master, if you have any misgivings, you don’t have to participate in this matter,” said Long Chen.

  “What nonsense! Am I someone who just gives up halfway? If you want to kill them, then big sister will accompany you,” said Ouyang Qiuyu.

  Long Chen smiled slightly. Looking at the slightly insulted Ouyang Qiuyu, he felt a burst of warmth. This world still had many people worthy of trust.

  Chapter 943 Devil Execution Conference

  “If only I had known how monstrous the Eastern Wasteland Bell was before. I should have planned things out properly.”

  Long Chen had a face of regret as he sat in a private room. Who would have thought that the broken, practically crumbling apart Eastern Wasteland Bell would be so terrifying?

  It killed half-step Kings without the slightest effort, and King items were nothing more than toys to it. The Eastern Wasteland Bell was incredibly powerful.

  Right now, his strongest trump card had disappeared, but he still hadn’t gotten his revenge on Ji Changkong. He couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. If only he could have drawn over the ancient races and the Remote Heaven Gang together, he could have had the Eastern Wasteland Bell handle them all at the same time.

  But regret had no use. The Eastern Wasteland Bell had already left. He didn’t even know if he would ever see it again.

  Furthermore, there was something else that made him jittery. When he had advanced to Sea Expansion, that mysterious voice hadn’t appeared.

  The pill formula for the fifth star of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art also hadn’t appeared. Could it be that the fifth star requir
ed him to reach Foundation Forging first?

  The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was completely different from the other cultivation techniques he knew of. He couldn’t cultivate like others, making him feel unsure of what he was supposed to do. He still knew too little about the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.

  The fortunate thing was that other than the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, he also had the Dragon Blood Body Tempering Art. The Green Dragon Battle Armor that he could summon was now his strongest trump card.

  “Long Chen.”

  Suddenly, the stone door to his room was pushed open. Ouyang Qiuyu walked in and sat in front of him.

  “Is there any news?” asked Long Chen.

  “The entire Eastern Wasteland is in upheaval,” sighed Ouyang Qiuyu.

  How could it not be? The ancient races had moved out in full force to suppress the Xuantian Dao Sect. But as a result, they had been annihilated.

  In truth, back then, the ancient races had intentionally drawn other people’s attention when they had moved out. Their excursion had been supposed to be a display of their might.

  Countless people had been around and had activated photographic jades so that they could record the sight of the Xuantian Dao Sect being destroyed.

  However, they had never imagined that what they would record was something even more shocking than the destruction of the Xuantian Dao Sect.

  The entire Eastern Wasteland had been thrown into a state of panic, especially those smaller powers of the Xuantian Dao Sect that had sided with the Remote Heaven Gang. Each day, they had lived in fear that the Xuantian Dao Sect would find them to settle the bill.

  The most fearful one would have to be the Remote Heaven Gang. Those who had committed shameful deeds were always the most terrified.

  Right now, the Remote Heaven Gang was like an overturned nest of ants. They were doing everything they could to draw in other powers. It was unknown what methods they were using.

  As Long Chen’s vicious methods shook the Eastern Wasteland, the Remote Heaven Gang managed to gather the majority of the powers within the Eastern Wasteland.

  “Long Chen, do you really have the confidence?” Ouyang Qiuyu was worried. Although she didn’t know the Eastern Wasteland Bell’s origin and she hadn’t asked, it was clear that the Eastern Wasteland Bell had left after that one attack. She had seen that clearly.

  The Eastern Wasteland Bell’s power had surpassed her understanding. But she knew such a divine weapon wasn’t something that would accept someone like Long Chen as a master. Otherwise, it would be under his control now.

  It was obvious from its departure that it had only agreed to help Long Chen once. That was why Ouyang Qiuyu was worried.

  Long Chen shook his head. “Nope. My strongest trump card is gone.”

  “Then why don’t we slow things down and just wait a bit…” advised Ouyang Qiuyu. Long Chen was too ruthless. She had already alerted the head sect about this matter using a special spiritual message. They would quickly send experts to handle this matter.

  In Ouyang Qiuyu’s opinion, the smartest decision was to wait for the head sect’s experts to arrive. After all, Long Chen had used up his trump card. If the Remote Heaven Gang had some unknown trump cards, it would be over for them.

  “I understand. Sect master-”

  “Call me big sister,” said Ouyang Qiuyu.

  “Alright, big sister. I understand what you’re saying, but it’s useless.” Long Chen shook his head.

  “What is useless? I don’t understand.”

  Long Chen sighed. “In truth, during the Immemorial Path, I was always careful and tried not to make enemies or provoke anyone who didn’t provoke me. I did my best to protect my people. But when the time came, I was still surrounded by enemies. I was cautious, I was reserved, but I still caused Little Snow to die. This time, I’ve finally seen through who my true enemy is. It is these damn heavens. No matter how I scheme, I can’t outscheme the heavens. So now I can’t be bothered to scheme, nor do I care about other people’s schemes. I want to find my original mental state.

  “I no longer trust in using smarts to handle my problems. I will only trust my power. I need to find my old self, that young, impetuous, and a bit foolish self that was full of hot blood. I have no schemes. I will simply bring my brothers to slaughter our enemies. If we encounter a mountain, we’ll split it. If we encounter a river, it will part for us. And if our lives aren’t hardy enough to survive, then we can all die together. Eighteen years later, we’ll have reincarnated and gathered back together, once more rising up to battle our enemies.”

  Long Chen’s eyes shone with a determined light. He found that as his cultivation base increased, he had begun to lose his old self. If he had been vicious enough in the beginning, if he had paid any price to kill his opponents as soon as he had encountered them, who would still dare to provoke him?

  Right now, what he needed to be was a madman, a bloodthirsty, merciless man. He would make all his enemies terrified of him, making it so no one dared to form the slightest bit of hostility against him.

  He was extremely calm now. He no longer bothered scheming against his opponents’ trump cards. He couldn’t outscheme the heavens, so there was no point. His choice was to use the simplest, most direct method: fight with his life on the line.

  Little Snow’s death had made him clearly see the essence of cultivation. All resources and opportunities were gained through killing and fighting. Since he had stepped onto the cultivation path, he couldn’t be kind or soft. That would cause his own death.

  If it only caused his own death, then fine. But foolish kindness would also cause his people’s deaths as well. That was the most foolish part of it.

  “Big sister, you don’t have to go with me. I-”

  “In truth, this isn’t just for you. These thousand years of life were like a dream. I’ve seen people be born, mature, grow old, and die. I’ve seen joy, and I’ve seen sadness. I’ve seen twisted faces and ugly affairs. I’ve experienced much-”

  “Big sister, are you tired of living?” Long Chen was startled.

  “Brat, I’m living quite happily! How could I want to die?” Ouyang Qiuyu glared at him.

  “Then that’s good. After all, I don’t have big sister’s experience-”

  “Are you saying I’m old?!” Ouyang Qiuyu’s glare became even more vicious.

  “No, no, definitely not!” Long Chen flapped his hand.

  “If not, then shut your mouth. You really are becoming more and more irritating! I don’t know how you seduced those two beautiful girls. When I say I’ve experienced a great deal, what I mean is that it’s like I’ve been playing chess for hundreds of years. The chessboard is completely chaotic now. The reason I can only touch the barrier but am unable to become a half-step King is because of this. That’s why I’m prepared to go cause some trouble with you. By changing my mentality and viewing my path through another viewpoint, I want to see if I can use that opportunity to become a half-step King,” said Ouyang Qiuyu.

  “Why just half-step King and not a full King?” asked Long Chen.

  Ouyang Qiuyu sadly shook her head. “It’s not so easy. My Spirit Blood isn’t pure enough. Half-step King is my limit.”

  “So that’s what it is.” Long Chen came to a sudden comprehension of why all those rank four Celestials would submit to Xue You, Yu Changhao, and the others.

  It was all because of the purity of their Spirit Blood. Two people could both be rank four Celestials, but without pure enough Spirit Blood, a person’s cultivation base would forever be limited to half-step King.

  Only people like Xue You and the others were able to cross that barrier and become true Kings.

  “I would have forgotten about this if you hadn’t reminded me. Here.” Long Chen took out a small bottle. Inside was only a single drop of blood.

  “This is… Ten Thousand Spirit Blood?” Ouyang Qiuyu was shocked.

  “Correct. You already possess Spirit Blood, so this Ten Thousand Spir
it Blood can make it even purer, allowing you to cross the barrier and become a King eventually.” Long Chen smiled.

  “I…” Ouyang Qiuyu’s expression was complicated as she looked at it.

  “You should hurry and refine it. This Ten Thousand Spirit Blood is exceptionally profound. It actually contains a trace of heaven and earth’s laws, which will make it easier for you to comprehend the Heavenly Daos.”

  Ouyang Qiuyu was silent for a long time before she finally accepted the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood. She entered seclusion.

  Long Chen also gave another drop of Ten Thousand Spirit Blood to Shui Wuhen. He trusted the two of them.

  This Ten Thousand Spirit Blood was incredibly important. It could activate a person’s Spirit Blood and was a heaven-defying treasure that could allow people to draw out their own attribute’s potential. Lord Heaveneye had essentially sacrificed hundreds of thousands of aboriginals to obtain this Ten Thousand Spirit Blood for him.

  So Long Chen viewed it as exceptionally precious. Other than Ouyang Qiuyu and Shui Wuhen, he didn’t share it with anyone else.

  The reason Ouyang Qiuyu was so moved wasn’t just because of the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, but also because Long Chen had shared its secret existence with her. Now she understood why the Dragonblood Legion was so terrifying.

  In truth, she didn’t know that the reason the Dragonblood Legion was so powerful was because of a combination of the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood, Heavenly Dao Fruits, and Divine Mortal Molting Elixir.

  The days passed one by one. Long Chen kept a close eye over the state of affairs within the Eastern Wasteland. Finally, he received an invitation.

  “Devil Execution Conference?”

  Long Chen’s mouth curled into a disdainful smile. He directly ripped the invitation to shreds.

  “Guo Ran, alert the sect master. We’re moving out.”

  Long Chen looked into the distance, icy killing intent in his eyes. “Ji Changkong, I’ve given you plenty of time to prepare. Don’t disappoint me!”
