Chapter 7285 Eleventh Heavenstage Sovereign Lord
Chapter 7285 Eleventh Heavenstage Sovereign Lord
Long Chen floated in the air as the stars filling the sky slowly returned to the eleven-leaf golden lotus. Only then did the heaven-shaking aura slowly fade away.
Long Chen looked the same as before. It was as if nothing had changed. It didn’t seem as if he had undergone a massive advancement. Without personally witnessing it, no one would have believed that he had just made a breakthrough. His power was perfectly under control.
The eleven-leaf golden lotus in Long Chen’s Dantian was swaying. Long Chen had consumed a giant pill filled with Grand Dao essence. That single pill allowed Long Chen to break through, and there was still quite a bit of energy that was being absorbed by his starry sea. When his starry sea returned to his Dantian, the rest of the work was left to the Golden Virtue Lotus. As Long Chen’s Grand Dao seed, it would slowly refine the remaining energy and solidify Long Chen’s cultivation.
Long Chen slowly turned his hand and clenched it. Space began to twist and crack.
He took a deep breath and sighed. “After this one advancement my astral energy has increased by several times. There’s also a qualitative leap. This feeling of having the laws of the world under my command... It's intoxicating!”
He was quite fortunate that he could fully trust the Golden Virtue Lotus. Ever since he had chosen it to be his Dao-seed, it had never disappointed him. Its assistance made it so that his cultivation was no longer so arduous.
Had all this happened before he turned it into his Dao-seed, then absorbing the Grand Dao essence refined from the blood of a Heavenly Sovereign would have taken him months. But with the Golden Virtue Lotus, it would be finished in a few days. It was not just a lantern illuminating his path, but also his greatest support. In its own way, it was every bit as helpful as the primal chaos space.
The remaining energy would be refined over the next few days. After that, he could consider advancing to the twelfth Heavenstage.
When Long Chen returned to Miao Yin and Shi Yu, although Miao Yin was mentally prepared, she was still incredibly shocked to sense no change in Long Chen’s aura—it was as if he hadn’t done anything at all. This kind of state could only be achieved after a long period of adapting to one’s power; this was common sense. Yet this common sense had been turned on its head today.
As for Shi Yu, she was clearly too shocked for words. Long Chen had completely toppled her understanding of cultivation.
“Do you want to rest?” asked Miao Yin.
“No need. Let’s go.”
Long Chen used the Star Cloud Steps once more, with the two of them in tow. This advancement had taken him less than six hours.
A few teleportations later, they arrived in a human city and used the transportation formation there. They arrived at Wind Bell Valley in just a few stops.
The moment they arrived, they heard a beautiful sound. This was the sound from the wind blowing through the valley.
Wind Bell Valley had a powerful wind spirit stone vein in it. This place was perfect for wind element cultivators. As a result, it was normally bustling with activity. But today, it felt as if heavy clouds were covering this place. Everyone was in a heavy mood. Even this beautiful sound wasn’t able to elevate their moods; instead, it felt rather irritating.
Countless experts were gathered here, and all of them looked grim. These experts belonged to the forces that had sent reinforcements to Wind Bell Valley. They had all taken heavy losses.
This development was simply too bizarre. They had to personally investigate what had happened. At the very least, they had to give the dead an explanation.
The valley master was a half-step Heavenly Sovereign, but he was acting like a servant, carefully waiting on the people who had come. There was no way around it; too many people had died, and Wind Bell Valley had a responsibility. If he didn’t handle this matter well, it might just spell the end for Wind Bell Valley. Although these factions wouldn’t directly attack them, the moment Wind Bell Valley’s relations fractured, they would be completely isolated. In the end, they would either be destroyed by enemies or forced to disband.
“What is the Wind Bell Valley doing?! There were actually so many holes in the information you gave us. You need to give us an explanation!”
When Long Chen arrived, he heard a white-haired crone shouting at the valley master.
“Indeed, the greater part of responsibility in this matter lies with us. But we asked everyone to do their own check of the passageway—” said the valley master awkwardly.
“Who cares about that?! As the valley master, you don’t even have a clear understanding of the passageway in your own territory, and yet you still sent out a request for reinforcements? You cost us the lives of our elite disciples! What are you plotting?!”
The valley master’s heart sank. He was also a wily old fox that had lived for countless years. The other side was set on blaming Wind Bell Valley, and they didn’t care about the real reason. Clearly, they were after a big payout.
He looked at the others and saw that all of them were glaring at him. He despaired. They really were planning on looting Wind Bell Valley!
“Reporting to the valley master...”
“How dare you speak up in my presence!?” yelled the old lady. She could not believe that a mere disciple would dare to cut her off now. Without hesitation, she threw her palm forward. The full might of a half-step Heavenly Sovereign was concentrated into it; clearly, she was planning on killing that disciple to establish dominance.
The speaker was, naturally, Shi Yu, and she clearly hadn’t expected this half-step Heavenly Sovereign to suddenly attack a junior like her. She wasn’t prepared at all. By the time she reacted, the old crone’s Sovereign might had firmly frozen her in place.
“Please show mercy!” the valley master hastily cried out.
However, the old crone was set on doing it. How could she possibly stop when she wanted to display her power?
Just as Shi Yu was about to lose her life, another hand appeared in front of her.
BOOM!
Qi waves surged out. The old crone was forced back, and her blood almost flowed backward from the sheer shock. She was startled and hastily looked at who had stopped her. She saw a peerlessly beautiful fairy who looked like she had walked out of a painting.
She was utterly shocked. She hadn’t expected the one to stop her to be a Sovereign Lord, let alone such a beautiful woman. Then, her shock turned into rage. Her furious expression betrayed her envy, and her heaven-earth law manifestation appeared behind her and ignited.
“Little slut, die!”
She was like a phantom pouncing on Miao Yin. Her fingers turned into claws poised to shred that flawless face into ribbons of flesh.
The moment she attacked, Long Chen’s voice rang out.
“Kill her.”
This single sentence made everyone feel like they had been thrown into an icehouse.
