Long Chen looked at the bewildered experts, but in his heart he didn't mean to mock them. Everyone stood at different heights, so naturally they saw different things.
If Long Chen stood on the same level as them, he might not be much better. But these people were basically destined not to be the protagonists of this era—mere spectators. If victorious, they would witness history; if defeated, they would vanish like smoke.
After several teleportations, he arrived at the Southern Profound Domain. However, he was still some distance from his target, so Long Chen boarded the flying boat.
Soon, a spatial barrier appeared ahead. In front of the barrier, powerful figures dressed in divine clan attire appeared. They wore long robes, different from the full-body armor of the Heavenly Dragon Legion, lacking a trace of boldness and exuding a touch of elegance.
"Stop! Who are you? Give your name and surname; otherwise, kill without mercy. "Among the group of Divine Clan experts, someone shouted coldly.
He dressed elegantly, but his tone was anything but refined; his words carried an air of lofty authority and an aggressive aura.
"Long Chen,"
Long Chen announced his name.
"Are you Long Chen?" The man sized up Long Chen from head to toe, seemingly skeptical: "Any evidence?" "
Smack!"
Just as the man finished speaking, he was slapped hard across the face, half his face shattered, and bloodied teeth scattered everywhere.
"Choo cho..."
The weapon left his body, and the divine clan experts present were both shocked and furious. Long Chen was far too arrogant, demanding evidence and actually hitting people directly—even more arrogant than he'd heard.
"Why are you so nervous? This gentleman wants evidence, and I've already given it to him. This signature move of my own, Long Chen, is something no one can imitate. Across the Tianwu Continent, there is only one such character, no other semicolon. This is definitely the best evidence. Seeing everyone tense and tense, Long Chen shrugged, looking very innocent.
Of course, the innocent appearance is just an act—can you even fake it? I'm better at pretending than you. Long Chen doesn't believe it. They don't recognize Long Chen's face. Long Chen has already registered his name, and now they still want evidence. This is clearly a deliberate way to make things difficult.
The Divine Clan had already notified Long Chen to come. Couldn't they at least look after these guards in advance? Long Chen could tell that these guys wanted to give him a stern warning, but they were wrong. Long Chen hadn't gotten up, he had come by boat, so the show of force was ineffective.
"You..."
The beaten Divine Clan expert was furious, pointing at Long Chen, gripping his sword, wanting to strike but not daring to act. Not doing so could swallow his anger. For a moment, he was trapped, glaring at Long Chen, not knowing what to do.
"What, are you not satisfied with this evidence?" If you still feel you can't prove it's Long Chen, then let's do this... Long
Chen held the Dragon Bone Evil Moon in his hand, and in that instant, a fierce trigger locked onto that divine clan powerhouse. A vast, murderous aura arose, and if the gates of hell opened, the aura of death filled the entire world.
"If you still don't believe me, I'll cut you once. Likewise, no one can imitate this strike of me, Long Chen."
As he spoke, Long Chen slowly raised the Evil Moon of the Dragon Bone, his aura gathering. The murderous aura between heaven and earth was completely absorbed by Long Chen.
"Thud... The
Divine Clan expert, possessing the third step of the Tongming Realm, couldn't stand under Long Chen's strike. His legs trembled as he knelt down.
Only after kneeling did he come to his senses, quickly tilted to the side, and sat down on the ground—sitting down was better than kneeling.
"Are you ready?" I'm going to prove it to you. Long Chen shouted coldly.
"No... No need, I believe you are Long Chen. Go in! The Divine Clan expert looked ashen; he no longer dared to trouble Long Chen.
"No need to prove anything?" Long Chen pretended to be taken aback.
"No need." The man shook his head.
"Maybe I should prove myself, or else the gods won't laugh at me for not knowing the rules. I'll just slash once, not more, how about that?" Long Chen discussed as he spoke.
The god clan expert's face turned green. With such a terrifying strike, how could he survive?
"Crack, crack, crack... The
spatial barrier slowly opened, revealing a portal. Long Chen smiled slightly, put away the Dragonbone Evil Moon, and said with a smile, "
Thank you."
After saying that, Long Chen patted his butt and headed straight for the main door.
...
Inside a grand hall, Elder Long looked at the wall, and on the wall appeared the image of Long Chen stepping into a spatial barrier.
"This Long Chen really is a man without any taboos. Even when beating a dog, he has to look at his owner, and he has no taboo at all?"
Besides Elder Long, there was another elder in the main hall, also a Tian-level elder.
"Long Chen is very clever. He saw through us long ago that we were using him to restrain the Ye family.
If he gives in here, and soon has to give in everywhere, then we lose the value of using him.
Whatever he does now, our Long family has his back. Whenever he causes trouble, our Long family will clean up his mess. Elder Long smiled faintly.
"Aren't you afraid he'll be out of control?" The elder frowned and said.
"Control?" Why do we want to take control? Whether it's our Long family or Long Chen, any cooperation is profitable and doesn't need to be controlled.
Moreover, Long Chen was extremely extreme and proud to the core. Anyone who wanted to control him would never succeed. Elder Long shook his head.
The elder of the Tianzi generation suddenly sighed, "This Long Chen really is a peculiar. He rose from a secular small country and has never changed his personality along the way. His backbone is really tough."
This reminds me of a man even more talented and dazzling than Long Chen, shining brightly across the world. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. If it hadn't been for him back then, our Long family wouldn't have been forced into such a situation..."
"Watch your words, Elder Xue. This is taboo." Elder Long's expression changed, and he hurriedly said in a deep voice.
Elder Xue nodded and said, "I know. It's just the two of us here, so I said that."
If it weren't for that incident back then, how could our Long family be so passive? Now it seems the family head is handling things ..."
Elder Long waved his hand to interrupt Elder Xue and shook his head, saying, "Alright, please don't bring this up again. This is a taboo in our Long family. If word gets to the family head, it could be a big problem."
Moreover, after all these years, who is right or wrong no longer matters. What matters now is whether our Long family can reclaim the position of leader of the Four Divine Clans. This is our last chance.
Right now, Aotian is the greatest hope of our Long family, but the other three families are also eyeing the opportunity. So we need to distract their attention, and Long Chen is the most suitable candidate.
So, we must do our utmost to nurture him. The stronger he is, the more beneficial it will be for us. Elder
Long watched the departing figure and couldn't help but clench his fists, trusting his own judgment.
...
Passing through the main gate, the space trembled, and the scene before his eyes suddenly changed—a world filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.
Here, mist swirled and spiritual energy abounded. What shocked Long Chen most was that the laws of Heaven here were somewhat different from those of the Tianwu Continent, but he couldn't quite explain exactly what the differences were.
"The laws of the Heavenly Dao here are relatively complete. Refining pills here is twice as effective with half the effort." Suddenly, the Moon Refining Star Furnace transmitted a message.
"I see."
Long Chen suddenly understood and finally understood the key point: the laws of heaven and earth here seemed somewhat stronger than those of the Tianwu Continent.
"Wait, you said it's relatively complete? What does that mean? The laws of the Tianwu Continent are incomplete? Long Chen asked.
"The Tianwu Continent is incomplete, and the Heavenly Dao is incomplete. The power of the Heavenly Dao here is also incomplete, just a bit more complete compared to the Tianwu Continent." The Moon Refining Star Furnace replied.
Suddenly, Long Chen said to Dragon Bone Xie Yue, "Do you know why you didn't tell me?" "
I'm not that clueless." Dragonbone Xie Yue snorted coldly.
After the Dragonbone Evil Moon snorted coldly, the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace fell silent. Clearly, the Dragonbone Evil Moon monster had spoken out of turn.
Obviously, Dragonbone Xie Yue had known about this situation for a long time, but had never told Long Chen. He was trying to avoid letting Long Chen get involved in unnecessary karma.
Because Long Chen now understands all this, it doesn't mean much; it would only bring more uncertainties to his future, so Dragon Bone Evil Moon never mentioned it.
The Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace had just awakened and didn't know many taboos, so it spoke out. This annoyed Dragonbone Evil Moon. After a cold snort, the Furnace realized it had spoken out of turn and fell silent.
"Rongyue, I'm sorry, I asked randomly. If there's anything taboo in the future, you don't have to answer me." Long Chen said with a smile.
Dragonbone Evil Moon's tone was too harsh. Even artifact spirits have feelings. The Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace was originally meant well, but Dragonbone Evil Moon was very unkind to say that.
However, the Dragonbone Evil Moon was inherently wicked and never cared about others' feelings. Long Chen could only offer some words to comfort the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace.
"It's fine. Senior Xie Yue's lesson makes sense. I really don't understand causality very well." The Moon Refining Star Furnace replied.
The Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace actually called Dragonbone Evil Moon 'senior.' It seemed that in terms of rank, the Dragonbone Evil Moon was even ahead of the Furnace. Even the Demon Moon Furnace was somewhat intimidated by Dragonbone Evil Moon. The origin of the Dragonbone Evil Moon was probably not so simple.
But since Dragonbone Xie Yue never said it, Long Chen never asked, because asking would be pointless—Dragonbone Xie Yue definitely wouldn't tell him.
Just after passing through the gate and taking only a few steps, the void ahead trembled, and yet another barrier appeared. Within the barrier gate, a powerful figure appeared once more.
"Long Chen, you're here?"
Someone actually recognized Long Chen.
"Who are you?"
Long Chen looked at the man but couldn't recognize who he was.
"Haha, I'm from the Eighth Legion of the Celestial Dragon Legion. You may not know me, but I do—what a coincidence." The man smiled.
Long Chen didn't recognize that person to begin with, and now he was dressed in a long robe, making it impossible to tell he was from the Tianlong Legion.
"Ahem, according to the rules, please show your token. We need to go through the process." The man said a little embarrassedly.
Long Chen took out the jade token Elder Long had given him. After confirming, the man gave a few instructions to the person beside him before saying to Long Chen,
"Senior Brother Long Chen, this is your first time here. Let me lead you inside."
"Thank you,"
Long Chen cupped his hands and smiled. As the two entered the gate, they were instantly teleported to the peak of a high mountain, which turned out to be a teleportation array.
Long Chen stood on the teleportation array, still unaware of the surroundings, when he suddenly noticed that everyone around him was half-kneeling on the ground.
"No need to make such a big deal, right?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"You bastard! Lady Fengfei is going out—why aren't you kneeling and making way?"
Suddenly, a furious voice rang out, and at the same time, a long whip lashed directly toward Long Chen's cheek.
