Chapter 5682 - Assembly
The voice came across from afar, not loud, yet it could make the heavens and earth resonate together, like a whisper from a deity, causing myriad paths to resonate and instilling awe deep within the soul.
"Whose voice is this?" Xia Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Vantian De," Long Chen replied with a faint smile.
The crowd was startled. They had previously learned about Vantian De from Long Chen. This Vantian's son had merely shouted a sentence across the void, but the surging divine power contained within the words was astonishing.
"Boss, how should I respond to him?" Guo Ran inquired.
"However you like!" Long Chen replied calmly.
Vantian De had suffered a sneak attack from Long Chen and suffered greatly. He had been holding in his anger and engaging in verbal sparring was quite normal.
Upon hearing Long Chen's acquiescence, Guo Ran's confidence surged, and he shouted loudly in the direction of the voice:
"So, you're that Vantian De, the so-called Son of Vantian? What qualifications does a coward like you have to challenge my boss? If you can withstand ten moves from me, I'll let your son take my surname."
"What sort of creature are you?" Vantian De's cold laughter echoed.
"Hmph! Roaming the seas, crossing thousands of mountains, stirring up ripples in the heavens and earth, beheading demons, removing evil, plucking stars and moons, annihilating immortals, slaughtering gods—that's Guo Ran's path. I am the Supreme Commander of the Dragon Blood Corps, a handsome and dashing young man, Guo Ran."
Guo Ran seemed to have been waiting for the other party's response. With an extremely arrogant tone, he declared his name.
"Young man?"
Upon hearing Guo Ran's self-proclaimed title, Xia Chen and the others couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on their scalps due to this guy's shameless audacity. How old are you? Still calling yourself a young man? Handsome and dashing? Where did you get the nerve from?
"I've seen shameless individuals, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. Hurry up and die for me," Vantian De seemed to be infuriated by Guo Ran's shamelessness and shouted angrily.
"Behold the grandeur of Guo Ran!" Guo Ran responded arrogantly.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
As Guo Ran and Vantian De exchanged words, countless hearts trembled. These beings might not have known the significance of the Dragon Blood Corps, but most of them were familiar with the name Vantian De.
Vantian De was the son of the Vantian, the strongest deity among the human race. In the realm of Heaven Pulse Profound Realm, Vantian De represented the human race, and no force was willing to provoke them.
Vantian De was situated close to the Emperor's Path, surrounded by the top-tier experts of the human race. His position was the territory of the human race.
And now, there emerged an existence daring to challenge Vantian De, and what astonished them even more was that this challenger was also from the human race.
However, when Guo Ran displayed his strength in challenging Vantian De, numerous forces quickly made way. They now understood that they were dealing with an extraordinary group.
Those who dared to challenge Vantian De were undoubtedly aiming for positions on the outer fringes of the light ring. Their current positions were beneath notice.
As a result, these forces willingly yielded and created a path for the smooth passage of the Dragon Blood Corps. They even hoped for the Dragon Blood Corps to reach the central position as soon as possible. They wanted to see who had the audacity to challenge Vantian De, the self-proclaimed strongest of the human race.
The Dragon Blood Corps sped forward. It must be said that Long Chen's move to have Guo Ran confront Vantian De had a chilling effect on the entire scene, leading to a verbal exchange that saved them from much trouble.
The Dragon Blood Corps raced forward swiftly, encountering no hindrance along the way. The distance to the purple sun drew nearer and nearer. The runes surrounding the Dragon Blood Corps grew brighter, and the power of the dragon surged madly into the corps like a tide.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The aura within the Dragon Blood Corps erupted. More and more people completed the condensation of their nine Primordial Veins and advanced to the realm of Great Perfection in the Heavenly Saint stage.
Assisted by the Seven-Treasures Glassy Tree, the crowd's comprehension ability had reached its limit. They had comprehended all the primal Nine Li runes that Long Chen possessed. Anything they couldn't understand was likely exceedingly difficult to comprehend.
What pleased Long Chen was that both the Dragon Blood Warriors and the Hidden Dragon Warriors had all condensed their nine Primordial Veins, displaying unprecedented strength. Even among the Dragon Clan, not to mention top-tier talents like Chi Wu Feng and Mo Yang, even those with moderate talents had managed to condense their nine Primordial Dragon Veins. Furthermore, their condensation speed was even faster than that of the Dragon Blood Corps. This was primarily because they were of the Dragon Clan, and it was one of the most advantageous aspects of their cultivation.
Over half of the Dragon Clan members were now Heavenly Saints with nine veins, an astonishing ratio. However, the disciples of the Wind God Pavilion were not as impressive, lagging behind the Dragon Clan by a significant margin. Among the 30 million disciples of the Wind God Pavilion, only one-fifth had managed to condense their nine Primordial Dragon Veins. Nonetheless, even the majority of Wind God Pavilion disciples who had lower achievements had at least condensed five Primordial Dragon Veins, with most achieving seven or eight veins.
In reality, this had far surpassed Long Chen's initial expectations. Although the abilities of the Seven-Treasures Glassy Tree were extraordinary, they were not omnipotent. With such a large number of individuals, there were disparities in talent, disposition, and comprehension.
According to Long Chen's original estimates, about one-third of them might not be able to condense their Primordial Dragon Veins. However, during later observations, Long Chen noticed that Tang Wanjing's advancement speed fluctuated. When she advanced slowly, those lower-ranked disciples would break through bottlenecks at a faster rate.
Long Chen speculated that the Wind God Pavilion disciples' ability to break through their limitations might be due to Tang Wanjing using her power to assist them. However, Tang Wanjing hadn't mentioned this matter, and Long Chen didn't want to inquire further.
In terms of promotion, the Wind God Pavilion disciples fell somewhat short compared to the Dragon Clan, but they could still dominate over a significant area when compared to external experts. The Dragon Blood Warriors, Hidden Dragon Warriors, and all the Dragon Clan members with nine Primordial Veins were now gathering within the Dragon's Nest. They were well aware that an unprecedented bloody battle was about to unfold. Each of them was adjusting their breath, rapidly adapting to the surging power.
Meanwhile, those who hadn't advanced were still working hard to improve. Each additional Primordial Vein they could condense would contribute a portion of power.
"Boom"
Suddenly, a tremor swept through the Dragon's Nest, and Li Qi's figure appeared before everyone. At this moment, Li Qi's aura was absent, leaving only his eyes gleaming with crystalline light, sharp as a blade. Apart from that, there seemed to be little change from before.
"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough," Song Mingyuan laughed heartily.
Li Qi had not only advanced to a Heavenly Saint with nine Primordial Veins, but judging from his smoothly flowing aura, he had fully adapted to his new power.
"Where's Zifeng? He hasn't returned?" Li Qi looked around and couldn't help but ask.
When Yue Zifeng's name was mentioned, the expressions of those present grew solemn. Could it be that something happened to him...?
"Don't jump to conclusions. Zifeng is definitely fine," Long Chen reassured them. "Zifeng might be delayed by some matters or engrossed in comprehending the legacy of the Sword God, losing track of time. Does your confidence waver just because Zifeng isn't here?"
"Of course not. As long as I'm here, it's enough," White Xiaole's fox on Bai Xiaole's shoulder spoke up, its eyes filled with pride.
"Long Chen, you damn beast, do you know how long I've been waiting for you?" Suddenly, a voice filled with gritted teeth echoed from the front of the Dragon's Nest. By now, the Dragon's Nest had approached the vicinity of the Emperor's Path's Inverse Scale. In front of them were numerous figures, and a surging and overwhelming aura of killing intent assailed them.
