chapter 3778: dealing with the present predicament
long chen was delighted to hear the dragon expert’s voice, but he was a bit disappointed by what it said.
“you’re saying that i’ll die fighting kun tu?” long chen couldn’t believe his ears. although he wasn’t unbeatable, he was confident that he could beat anyone in the same realm.
that was not conceit but confidence that came from winning through endless fights and struggles. for the dragon expert to say that long chen would die fighting kun tu, his competitive spirit was instantly ignited.
“if i say yes, will you immediately throw your life away to beat him?” asked the dragon expert.
“i don’t believe that i’ll lose to him,” said long chen, eyeing the distant kun tu.
“if you were to fight him, you would be evenly matched. who lives and who dies would be up to fate. but as time passes, he is absorbing the essence blood here, stimulating his physical body. his power is continuously climbing. as for you? what have you obtained?” asked the dragon expert.
“i...”
long chen was shocked to find that when the lightning entered his body, there was no noticeable improvement in his strength.
at the start, he had assumed that it was due to the difficulty in the tribulation being too low. hence, he had assumed that there would be a better effect later. however, it seemed that the dragon expert was saying that there was a problem.
“in your past tribulations, although the heavenly tribulations wanted to kill you, you would still get some benefits. that is a law of the heavenly tribulation that cannot be changed. even my dragon race’s heavenly tribulations or the kunpeng race’s tribulations bring benefits to the one undergoing tribulation. but your current tribulation is different. it is not benefiting you. your heavenly tribulation has completely changed into pure destruction without nourishment. the moment you said that you would topple this world and create your own world, it was set that your heavenly tribulations would no longer bring you any benefits. the heavenly tribulation will only seek to kill you,” said the dragon expert.
“i don’t understand. i’ve said similar things before, but the heavenly tribulations never changed. why is it different now?” asked long chen, his head buzzing.
“senior, will this really work? this energy is polluting my dragon blood!” exclaimed long chen.
“at this time, such a thing can’t be bothered with. staying alive is more important. as for those impurities, it should... in a bit, you’ll understand.”
intense pain wracked long chen’s body. these violent powers were not nourishing his body. it was as if they were trying to destroy him.
long chen hastily circulated his true dragon essence blood, absorbing those mixed energies and expelling the damaging portion.
“how foolish! pure essence blood is being ruined by you! long chen, i overestimated you! you’re an idiot!” when kun tu saw long chen absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, kun tu’s expression sank.
although he looked down on long chen, he was very interested in long chen’s true dragon essence blood. in this world, the only thing worthy of him devouring it was true dragon essence blood.
however, by absorbing all of these energies, long chen was mixing the true dragon essence blood with the aura of the billion beast venerates. as a result, the true dragon essence blood would be contaminated, and kun tu could no longer devour it.
kun tu possessed the purest kunpeng bloodline, so he naturally wouldn’t devour other bloodlines. he was only absorbing the thunderforce and constantly strengthening his physical body. thus, seeing long chen absorb all these mixed bloodlines, he was shocked, enraged, and aggrieved. he had long since viewed long chen’s essence blood as his treasure.
suddenly, explosive sounds came from long chen’s body. violent blood qi energy soared like raging lava and nourished his body. after that, his physical body rapidly grew stronger, and his aura shook the void. the pressure that he gave off grew increasingly terrifying, causing everyone to jump in shock.
suddenly, the immemorial demonic beasts roared in unison. their withered eyes suddenly lit up with a strange light. despite being nothing more than skeletons, they seemed to have been bestowed with spirits.
“long chen, return my life!”
suddenly, one of those immemorial demonic beasts spoke and charged at long chen, its sharp claws tearing through the void. an overwhelming resentful air came from it.
