Chapter 5061 Shameless
Chapter 5061 Shameless
Long Chen acted completely undaunted by their ferocious appearance, showing them no respect and leaving no room for retreat. This was not the way large factions usually handled conflicts.
Normally, larger factions wouldn’t start battles lightly. They all tried to turn big problems into small ones, not small ones into big ones. After all, the best way to resolve a problem was for neither side to suffer or lose face.
However, Long Chen had just blocked the usual paths to a peaceful resolution. It was as if he simply wanted to fight to the end, leaving no room for discussion.
The Golden Crow race’s experts were startled and enraged by his response. Wasn’t this young man being completely unreasonable?
From the Golden Crow race’s side, the elder in charge was their vice race leader, a true four-vein Heaven Saint. Knowing his lofty position and domineering attitude, no one had ever spoken to him like this. Being challenged like this, he pointed at Long Chen, his hand shaking with rage.
“Brat, try saying that again!” he shouted.
“You didn’t hear it clearly, right? Then I’ll say it again so you can hear it clearly,” said Long Chen. He started walking toward the elder.
When Long Chen got closer, the Golden Crow race’s experts instantly tensed. Some of them even stopped breathing.
It wasn’t fear that made them nervous but the flame staff in Long Chen’s hand. It was a treasure that they all dreamed of obtaining.
Because the first Golden Crow was born on the Fusang Tree, its descendants treated the Fusang Tree like how the Spirit race treated their mother tree. Every Heavenly Chosen from the Golden Crow race would be given a branch of the Fusang Tree once they grew up. After that, they would refine the branch into a Fusang seed and nourish it with their core flame.
The branch would then become their divine item, assisting them in cultivation. The Fusang branch would grow stronger as they nourished it, and in turn, it would nourish them.
The branches could be classified into ten grades. Putting it simply, the main trunk could be considered grade one, while the first branches were grade two. A branch of a branch was grade three, and so on until grade ten.
When the Golden Crow race’s experts were first born, they would be given a leaf of the Fusang tree, which acted as a seed to awaken their Golden Crow Flame. Once they matured, based on their talent, they would be given a branch.
Although every Golden Crow had a branch within them—known as the Golden Crow Tree Branch, which could also be used as a seed for the Fusang Tree—the true value of this particular branch lay in its age. For a Fusang Tree to reach maturity, it required at least a million years.
To reach the level of an ancestral tree would take ten million years at least, as well as a constant influx of resources, or it would take even longer.
Thus, what the Golden Crow race was missing was not ordinary Fusang Trees but fully mature ones. Throughout the entire Golden Crow race, there was only one single ancestral tree capable of nourishing them all. The other Fusang Trees still required an unknown amount of time to reach maturity.
Most importantly, all the Golden Crow race’s resources were piled onto that ancestral tree. They didn’t have the resources to raise more Fusang Trees. Due to only having a single ancestral tree, there weren’t enough branches to go around.
According to the Golden Crow race’s rules, a disciple would be bestowed a branch upon growing up. They would then refine the branch and obtain its purest tree-heart to use as their innate divine item.
Due to the limited resources, ordinary disciples were given grade-six branches to refine, and even Heavenly Chosens were only given grade-four tree-hearts.
The grade-three and above branches could not be touched by anyone, not even the race leader, because it would harm the core of the ancestral tree and affect its growth. The ancestral tree was their foundation, and they would not allow any harm to come to it.
As for what Long Chen was holding in his hand, it was a grade-one tree-heart. Although the Golden Crow experts had never seen a grade-one tree-heart before, that didn’t stop them from guessing.
This wooden staff’s terrifying flame fluctuations convinced them that it was a grade-one tree-heart. If they could obtain it, their power would instantly soar.
Although Long Chen’s Fusang Trees couldn’t compare to their ancestral tree, this tree-heart was comparable to a grade-two tree-heart from their ancestral tree. Hence, this staff held a fatal attraction for the Golden Crow race.
“Vice Race Leader, let’s kill him!” transmitted a three-vein Heaven Saint.
“Patience. We must be patient. This isn’t the best time to attack,” responded the vice race leader. Although he said this, his aura was starting to fluctuate.
There was no way around it. This was a call that came from the depths of his soul, so even he couldn’t endure it. Seeing Long Chen walking over, he was so tense that he couldn’t breathe.
When Long Chen arrived in front of him, the hearts of the Golden Crow experts clenched. In fact, even the spectators grew tense. For a Divine Venerate to dare to walk right in front of a four-vein Heaven Saint required more than just bravery.
The young disciples were all amazed by Long Chen’s courage, and a trace of reverence appeared in their eyes. After all, most of them would be too nervous to speak in front of a three-vein Heaven Saint. But Long Chen simply walked toward a four-vein Heaven Saint in front of everyone. That was absolutely terrifying.
When the vice race leader saw that flame staff so close that he could almost touch it, his breathing suddenly grew hurried.
Seeing this, Long Chen forgot all the lines he had wanted to say. How could he give up such a good opportunity?
“How shameless!”
Pow!
In front of everyone’s gazes, Long Chen slapped the vice race leader. Everyone’s jaw instantly dropped, and their eyes almost flew out of their sockets.
Fuck, not good. How could I do this? At this moment, Long Chen recalled that his divine face-slapping art was renowned beneath the heavens. He might expose himself like this.
After that, Long Chen directly ran away.
“Die!”
The baffled vice race leader only reacted now, and with a furious roar, his claw reached toward Long Chen.
BOOM!
A four-vein Heaven Saint’s power directly caused the void to explode, revealing a giant vortex. Although Long Chen fled quickly, he was still caught on the edge of the vortex. Somehow, Long Chen didn’t fight back and let himself be pulled by the vortex. In a terrified voice, he cried out, “Guard captain, save me!"
