At this moment, the ratio of life-and-death power within Long Chen was eight to two. The life force grew stronger and squeezed the space for death.
Although the power of death had shrunk, it had become even more solid, as if the crushing force of life was a form of tempering itself.
After entering the second level of Tongming, Long Chen felt that the Five Stars and the 108,000 stars underwent another transformation, especially the 108,000 stars, which grew stronger once more, and the power of the stars was further strengthened.
What Long Chen found most unbelievable was that his soul space hadn't expanded, but his soul power had become even more solid, much stronger than before.
However, after entering the Second Heaven of Tongming, Long Chen found that even with the help of the Tiger Bone Spirit Pill, it became much harder for his life force to continue suppressing the power of death.
When the power of death solidified to a certain level, the greater the pressure, the stronger the resistance became. Fortunately, Ling'er's pills were continuously supplied. At first, Long Chen took them one by one, then gradually took handfuls at a time.
If outsiders saw this, they'd be terrified. A single top-grade twelfth-rank demon core could kill a Tongming Realm expert, and with that blow, they'd explode and die instantly.
Ling'er had mastered the art of alchemy. She was even more excited than Long Chen, refining pills desperately without pause, even pushing her primordial power to its limit. In just a few breaths, she had produced a batch of pills.
This startled Long Chen. This wasn't alchemy—it was just making pills. Even rolling pills wasn't that fast.
Long Chen told Ling'er to take it easy. She could tell that Ling'er was eager to refine more demon pills to activate the runes on her body that hadn't awakened yet.
The more demon cores Ling'er refined, the more demon spirit power she absorbed. This demon spirit power was key to awakening those runes.
Long Chen feared that Ling'er might get too excited and damage her origin. Once her source is damaged, it will require a long period of recovery, which is not worth it.
But Ling'er told Long Chen that she knew what she was doing and wouldn't hurt herself, so Long Chen stopped nagging and focused on taking the pill.
Time passed bit by bit. Long Chen roughly estimated that since advancing to the second level of Tongming, he had taken more than three thousand Tiger Bone Spirit Pills. Finally, the life-and-death power within his body was once again out of balance.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen's aura surged, a violent pressure from Long Chen swept across the heavens with his core energy spreading rapidly, shattering the surrounding grand formation.
As the endless power of living beings swept in all directions, green trees began to grow wildly on the surrounding mountains, and the fallen dead wood started to sprout again.
Long Chen felt his whole body full of vitality, as if he could nourish all things—a sensation he couldn't describe.
In that instant, Long Chen felt reborn, as if he was completely different from before.
"The power of life has reached ninety percent, and the power of death has solidified to the utmost. The power of life can now be controlled at will." Long Chen clenched his fists, his face full of excitement, quietly feeling the changes in his body.
Upon checking his body, Long Chen nearly cried out. He discovered that within the Sea of Souls, at some point, countless soul symbols had appeared.
These symbols were as tiny as needle tips, but they were indeed runes. Previously, soul power was transparent and informless.
But at this moment, the soul power had condensed into extremely fine runes, which could be driven by Long Chen's will. Although he hadn't used them, Long Chen believed that when he gathered soul power again, although he might not be able to defeat Feng Fei's natal soul beast, he would definitely not be pierced by it.
"I really want to fight her one more time."
Long Chen clenched his fists. In the last soul duel, he lost. If Shen Guan Xing hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable. But unexpectedly, after advancing to the second step of Tongming, his soul power actually grew stronger as well. The Tongming Realm is an unbelievable realm.
"My soul power is inferior to Feng Fei's. Perhaps it's because of her realm level. Feng Fei has never shown her own realm." Long Chen suddenly remembered—he hadn't formally fought Feng Fei and didn't know her true realm.
Looking again at the hundred-eight thousand stars, endless living energy flowed and connected. Long Chen felt endless power flooding into his body, wishing he could find a strong opponent and fight a fierce battle. It had been a long time since he felt such a surge in power.
"Boss..."
Just as Long Chen was basking in the joy of his promotion, Guo Ran's voice rang out. He flew up to Long Chen and couldn't help but exclaim, "
Boss, you're already at the second step of the Tongming Realm so quickly?"
You have to know, in just two and a half days, Long Chen has already entered the second step of the Tongming Realm without even distinguishing between life and death powers. His cultivation speed is terrifying.
The Dragonblood Warriors received blessings from the Heavenly Dao and the aid of Liu Ruyan's yin-yang power. Above their realms, they didn't need to comprehend it and could directly break through. Their cultivation was advancing rapidly, making Qu Jianying and the others exclaim that it was a freak.
But in just two and a half days, Long Chen had advanced his realm to the second step of Tongming. This wasn't a monster—it was a monster.
"That's already slow enough. My goal is to reach the third step of Tongming." Long Chen shook his head and said.
"Damn it... Guo Ran almost caught his breath; his tone was way too arrogant.
In fact, Long Chen's goal was indeed the third step of the Tongming Realm, but the pills consumed were far more than Long Chen had expected, so there was simply no time left.
Long Chen calculated that once the pills were almost done, he wouldn't let Ling'er continue refining the Dragon Bone Vitality Pill, because he could clearly feel her pressure weakening, and she herself was in an excited state and didn't realize that if she continued refining, she would truly harm her very origin.
Long Chen ate all the Dragon Bone Vitality Pills, just advancing to the second step of Tongming. The remaining dozen or so pills were thrown into the chaotic space. These were useless, and he didn't dare sell them to others, fearing endless trouble.
Originally, Long Chen wanted to teach Ling'er how to refine the Necro Spirit Pill, but Ling'er was too excited. Long Chen was afraid she would secretly refine it herself, so he decided not to continue breaking through for now.
"What's wrong?" Is time up? Long Chen asked.
"That's right, everyone in the Tianwu Alliance has already begun gathering. The Alliance Leader asked me to call you." Guo Ran said.
Long Chen nodded and went with Guo Ran to the Tianwu Hall. In the square in front of the hall, hundreds of thousands of disciples were already in orderly formation, full of vigor and ready to go.
When Long Chen arrived, the disciples erupted in cheers. The news of Long Chen and Feng Fei's fierce battle and the evenly matched victory had already spread throughout the ears of all the Tianwu Alliance disciples.
When Feng Fei arrived, almost all the disciples of the Tianwu Alliance witnessed her breathtaking beauty and peerless presence. She was revered as a god, invincible in the world. For Long Chen to be able to share her own strength made them admire him even more.
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, Ye Zhiqiu, Dong Mingyu, Liu Ruyan, Xiaoyun, Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, Yue Zifeng, and others led the warriors of the Dragon Blood Legion, each looking spirited and like divine weapons drawn from their swords, their momentum astonishing.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao also arrived with the disciples of the Kaitian Battle Sect, while Hua Shiyu and Zhao Ziyan led the elites of the Xuantian Dao Sect to get ready.
The disciples from the other sects and sects were all led by their own sect experts, standing quietly in the plaza, waiting to set off. They looked at Long Chen, each with a surge of excitement.
"Long Chen, it's about time, do you want to say a few words? The old man saw Long Chen arrive and spoke.
"For matters like this, it's still more appropriate for the Alliance Leader." Long Chen waved his hand and said.
"Jianying has already said so. You can add a few more words. After all, once entering the territory of the Divine Clan, everyone has to listen to you. If you think there's anything to watch out for, just say it." The old man said.
Before Long Chen arrived, Qu Jianying had already offered words of encouragement, telling them to cherish this opportunity and to be cautious in everything. If possible, avoid causing trouble.
"Alright then, I'll just say something brief."
Long Chen nodded, stood before everyone, looked at the hundreds of thousands of Tianwu Alliance disciples gathered in the square, and said loudly:
"Brothers and sisters of the Tianwu Alliance, we entered the Star Domain Divine Realm to seek opportunities, elevate our realms, and change our fate."
You all know about this great calamity of heaven and earth. I don't need to say more—you know how severe the situation is right now.
Therefore, what we must do now is make use of limited resources, elevate ourselves to the extreme, seize every opportunity, and strive to survive this catastrophe.
The more we increase our power, the more hope our Tianwu Continent has. So, what I want to tell you is that once you enter the Star Domain Divine Realm, we won't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of dying either. If anyone dares to provoke you—whether it's the evil path, ancient clans, or the Ancient Family Alliance, even if it's a disciple of the Divine Clan—you'll slap me hard across the face." Long
Chen's voice echoed through the square. As he spoke, Qu Jianying sighed. This rascal had always had this temperament his whole life. She advocated for everyone not to cause trouble, but Long Chen was encouraging them.
The old man smiled slightly, a look of admiration appearing on his face. Clearly, Long Chen's words suited his taste perfectly.
Qu Jianying glared at the old man, then suddenly pinched his waist hard. She suddenly understood that this old man was dissatisfied with her previous words, but since she hadn't said anything, she was now using Long Chen's hand to deal with her.
"I'm not joking with you. At moments like this, any chance can determine whether you live or die in the future.
It also affects the rise and fall of the Tianwu Continent, so we don't try to seize others' opportunities. But if someone maliciously tries to seize yours, that's not humiliation—it's murder.
For people like this, there's no need to be polite to them. As long as it's not your fault, if you're right, don't be afraid—beat them to the bone. If you can't win, call me—I'll help you take them down.
Remember, in moments like these, anyone targeting you is an enemy, and no mercy is needed for enemies.
This time, entering the Star Domain Divine Realm will inevitably face numerous obstacles. There will be many wolves and little meat, and disputes will inevitably be frequent. Everyone must remember to unite.
Only by uniting can we avoid being defeated one by one. Only then can we increase our chances of survival and gain more opportunities. Do you understand? Long Chen shouted loudly.
"Understood."
Hearing Long Chen tell them not to tolerate anyone, not even the face of the Divine Clan, this confidence and dominance made their blood boil with excitement, raising their arms and shouting.
"Move out!"
Long Chen shouted loudly, and the young disciples in the square surged toward the teleportation array.
