Chapter 5731: Accused of a Misdeed
"Boom rumble rumble..."
Thirteen colorful giant dragons danced behind Long Chen, leaving him utterly amazed. The scales of the dragons emitted a constantly changing seven-colored divine light, enveloping the entire world in their radiant splendor, creating a dreamlike realm.
Most importantly, within the shifting colors, Long Chen sensed various forces of the heavens and earth interchanging and circulating. Everything seemed to be under control, a feeling that was truly magnificent. The awakening of the Supreme Seven-Colored Blood for the first time made Long Chen realize its formidable power. It was unexpectedly on par with the power of the Dragon Blood. When the Seven-Colored Dragon Veins appeared, Long Chen seemed to command the entire sky.
In this moment, Long Chen was astounded. He stared at his palm in disbelief as the seven-colored divine light flowed back and forth. The sensation of being able to control everything as he pleased was so unbelievable.
"The Supreme Blood is originally the blood of your own destiny, and it's also the power you can most easily control. Of course, the Purple Blood is the same," said Long Zhantian.
"So, should I condense the dragon veins of the Purple Blood next?" Long Chen asked excitedly.
However, Long Zhantian shook his head. "It's better for you to wait until you're with the Purple Blood clan to condense the Purple Blood Dragon Veins. The Purple Blood lineage surely possesses special methods to solidify the veins into their strongest form."
Long Chen considered this and realized it was true. The Purple Blood clan was one of the most powerful human clans in history. They undoubtedly held numerous resources and secret techniques. If he condensed the veins on his own, he might miss out on some crucial opportunities.
"Now that you have condensed the Starry Dragon Veins and the Supreme Blood Dragon Veins, you might face some accusations next," Long Zhantian said, finishing his sentence.
"I can't hear you," a low roar came from afar. It was the voice of the Linglong Blood Fiend. Surprisingly, it hadn't gone far.
"Come and help!" Long Zhantian shouted.
"Boom."
The void shattered, and the Linglong Blood Fiend appeared with a murderous aura. Its terrifying intent frightened Long Chen.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill your son?" the Linglong Blood Fiend gritted its teeth.
"Up to you," Long Zhantian replied.
"Boom."
As soon as Long Zhantian spoke, the Linglong Blood Fiend opened its large mouth, and its tongue turned into a lightning-fast sword aimed at Long Chen.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Long Chen was shocked. This attack was no different from an ambush. If he were struck, he might lose his life.
Long Chen narrowly avoided the strike, wielding the Bone Spur Evil Moon in his hand and fiercely slashing at the Linglong Blood Fiend.
"Boom."
However, the Linglong Blood Fiend's claw tore through the void. It sent Long Chen flying, and he crashed heavily into the ground, leaving a large crater.
"Die!"
The Linglong Blood Fiend roared in anger. It seemed as if it had gone mad. With a body like a towering mountain, it carried an immense force and ruthlessly charged at Long Chen.
At this moment, the Linglong Blood Fiend was surging with demonic energy and seemed to be surrounded by flames. It appeared to have gone insane, no longer holding back, solely intent on killing Long Chen.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Facing the threat of death, Long Chen roared in anger repeatedly, launching a frenzied counterattack. He switched between the power of the Supreme Blood, Dragon Blood, and Starry Energy. After an hour, Long Chen coughed up blood and was slammed into the earth by the Linglong Blood Fiend's massive claw, falling into unconsciousness.
"Can you believe I could kill him right now?" the Linglong Blood Fiend gritted its teeth, glaring at Long Zhantian.
"Up to you," Long Zhantian lay reclined on a boulder in the distance, not bothering to spare him a glance.
"You..." The Linglong Blood Fiend trembled with anger. Eventually, it reluctantly retracted its sharp claw, roaring in frustration, "I can't accept this!"
"What's there to not accept? If you want to blame someone, blame your ancestors for being foolish enough to be manipulated, leading to the massacre orchestrated by the Lord of the Nine Stars. In the end, it's their actions that led to your downfall. Moreover, even if you seek revenge, you should target the real culprit rather than attacking us father and son!" Long Zhantian stated calmly.
"But... no matter how you put it, we're enemies, right? I have to not only help you but also your son. If this gets back to the Linglong clan, how can I, the king of the Linglong clan, show my face?" the Linglong Blood Fiend retorted angrily.
Long Zhantian slowly sat up, gazing at the Linglong Blood Fiend with a serious expression. "First, we're not enemies; we're partners who can trust each other with our lives. Second, as the king of the Linglong clan, your duty is to strengthen yourself quickly, rectify the chaos, and lead the Linglong clan onto the right path. Third, Long Chen is the inheritor of the Nine Stars. How do you know he won't become the next Lord of the Nine Stars?"
"If he becomes the new Lord of the Nine Stars, ascending to the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens, at the very least, considering today's bond, he won't annihilate your bloodline entirely. Do you think your pride matters more, or the future of your clan?" Long Zhantian retorted.
"He could become the second Lord of the Nine Stars? Stop kidding. The Lord of the Nine Stars back then was the accumulation of the fortune of all the human races from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. After his fall, the human race's fortune declined, and another dominator-level existence won't arise. Are you trying to fool me?" the Linglong Blood Fiend replied coldly.
A trace of pride appeared on Long Zhantian's face. "Since infancy, Long Chen has faced hardships and fallen into the mortal world. He has overcome obstacles and created miracles along the way. You're jumping to conclusions too soon. Let me tell you, the seeds of karma should be sown early. Otherwise, when the day comes for Long Chen to reach the summit and wipe out all of your people, don't blame me for not warning you. Then, in your time of mating, you won't even have a partner."
"Get lost!" the Linglong Blood Fiend cursed.
"That's the truth. Long Chen cherishes old affections. He won't kill you. Anyone who opposes him, he won't show mercy. I've already told you the history of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. You can choose not to believe it, but be cautious. What if everything I said is true?" Long Zhantian said calmly, then reclined on the rock, pretending to doze off.
The Linglong Blood Fiend was left speechless. When Long Zhantian persuaded it earlier, he talked about the history of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but it was unwilling to believe it. However, after forming a soul contract with Long Zhantian, it came to understand his character – he was someone who disdained lying. In truth, it had already started to believe, but it wasn't willing to admit it verbally.
With Long Zhantian bringing up old matters, the Linglong Blood Fiend grew extremely annoyed. Suddenly, noticing Long Chen still unconscious, it couldn't help but roar:
"You little brat, how long are you planning to sleep? Get up and start cultivating!"
"Boom."
A loud noise erupted, shaking the earth. Long Chen was propelled into the air, awakened directly from his unconscious state.
"If I can't deal with your father, does that mean I can't deal with you?" the Linglong Blood Fiend bellowed, venting all its frustration on Long Chen. This time, Long Chen was in trouble. He had no clue why the Linglong Blood Fiend had gone berserk, but whenever it caught hold of him, it would pummel him mercilessly.
Previously, it could be considered practice, but now, it was treating Long Chen as a punching bag. Long Chen was itching with anger, fighting back frantically, only to be met with the Linglong Blood Fiend's ferocious attacks.
One day... two days... three days passed. In the midst of intense battle, Long Chen and the Linglong Blood Fiend exchanged curses. Long Chen even stopped calling it senior and directly referred to it as "Linglong old ghost" or sometimes "Linglong old lantern."
This guy was shameless, not giving Long Chen a chance to catch his breath. Whenever he fell unconscious, it would forcibly awaken him. Long Chen's strength remained in a state of near exhaustion, leaving him no energy to defeat it. He was completely tormented.
It wasn't until the seventh day that, due to extreme exhaustion, Long Chen finally fell into a deep unconsciousness that even the Linglong Blood Fiend couldn't wake him from. Only then did it stop its onslaught.
Long Chen remained unconscious for a full day and night. When he finally woke up, Long Zhantian said:
"Come, now I will pass on everything I've comprehended throughout my life to you."
