The runes on Long Chen's brow slowly faded away, and he felt as if something had gained in his memory.
Long Chen slowly extended his hand and found strange patterns appearing on the dragon scales on his palm.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen clenched his large hand sharply, causing the space to tremble violently, humming loudly. The force of his grip caused ripples to appear in the void.
"This ..." Long Chen was both surprised and delighted, staring at the runes in his hand in disbelief.
"Azure Dragon Seal?" I didn't expect you to awaken this divine ability. The old man looked at the runes in Long Chen's hand and spoke.
"Isn't this move really powerful?" Long Chen could hardly contain his excitement.
"This Azure Dragon Seal... In fact, it is one of the thirty divine abilities awakened by the True Dragon Clan after reaching adulthood... The weakest one. The old man seemed reluctant to strike Long Chen, but had no choice but to say so.
"No way, I think it's really tough." Long Chen looked at his hands, feeling the power transmitted to him by the scales. He felt a claw crushing the void—how could he say he was the weakest?
"For the True Dragon Clan, the Azure Dragon Seal is the most useless move; it's used to strengthen a specific part of the body.
And the True Dragon Clan's physical body was incredibly formidable, so this move was meaningless to the dragons.
In terms of defense and lethality, it's the worst. Ahem, when I say this, you don't feel bad inside, do you? The old man suddenly felt a bit embarrassed as he spoke, as if trying to put himself in others' shoes.
"No, no, no, absolutely not. For the dragon clan, it's a chicken rib, but for me, it's just a chicken leg.
I am not a dragon clan powerhouse, nor do I have such a powerful body. With its blessing, I can catch divine weapons barehanded.
My strongest fighting style is close combat. This Azure Dragon Seal was practically tailor-made for me. Long Chen laughed heartily.
"Alright, I was quite sorry for you, but now that you say that, it actually makes me feel a bit embarrassed to bring up those world-shattering divine powers of the True Dragon Clan anymore.
Your mindset is truly excellent—not happy to gain, not worried about losing. How many strong cultivators who have cultivated their whole lives don't have such good self-control? No wonder..." The old man looked at Long Chen with eyes full of approval, but just as he wanted to say something, he suddenly stopped speaking.
Long Chen didn't notice the old man's unusual behavior and smiled, "My luck is so bad. If I didn't have some self-comforting skills, I'd probably be furious long ago. I'm used to it." "
By the way, senior, are you really the Dragon King? I feel that the birth and growth of the Dragon Nest seem closely tied to the operation of all living beings in the universe. Could you please show me the process of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest from nothing to existence? Long Chen said with some anticipation. The formation of this Ten Thousand Dragon Nest must contain profound cosmic principles. If he could comprehend it, it would be of greater help to him, perhaps allowing him to glimpse the secrets of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique.
The old man looked at Long Chen and suddenly smiled: "People come here for the treasures here, but no one has ever known what a real treasure is."
Congratulations, you are the first person with keen insight to see so far. Long
Chen looked at the old man and tentatively asked, "Sir, you won't end up with some twist like 'no', 'but', or 'but' next, will we?" "
Hahaha..."
The old man suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly amused by Long Chen. After a long pause, he said, "But unfortunately, this kind of true treasure cannot be given to anyone by anyone; you have to comprehend it yourself."
This true Great Way is not recorded on paper, not passed down through words, not understood by soul thoughts; it is the secret of the universe and all living beings, differing in wisdom and benevolence, observing emptiness and emptiness, and cannot be spoken. "
Alright, although I don't quite understand, it sounds pretty impressive. Since I can't get it for now, I won't think about it." Long Chen knew he wasn't that lucky. Since this unimaginably powerful Dragon King refused to speak, there must be a reason for him. Perhaps, even he wouldn't dare break some taboos.
"Is it your friend who absorbed my power in the Land of Dragon Origin?" The old man suddenly asked.
"Ah, you're talking about Dragonbone Evil Moon. That's right, he's my life-and-death companion." Long Chen nodded and said.
"Are you sure it's reliable? You have to know, it was once even stronger than me. It is absorbing the power of the Dragon Source to loosen Yun Shang's seal.
That was the Dark Evil Dragon Clan, the most evil, violent, and bloodthirsty of all the evil dragons, the source of the dragon clan's sin.
I still have some power left. Do you want me to stop it? Otherwise, if Yun Shang's seal is broken, it will be the first to devour you. The old man looked at Long Chen and said seriously.
"No, no, no, I absolutely trust it. It will never betray me. It's not my weapon, nor my bargaining chip. He is a partner I can entrust my life to. Senior, let it absorb it as it is." Long Chen hurriedly said.
Although the Dragonbone Evil Moon is evil, for some reason, Long Chen sometimes feels a spiritual resonance with it. In Long Chen's words, maybe he himself isn't a good person either. This feeling can be described as mutual appreciation or like-mindedness. In any case, Long Chen absolutely does not believe that the Dragonbone Evil Moon would betray him.
What Long Chen didn't know was that his conversation with the old man had now been transmitted word for word to Dragon Bone Xie Yue's ears.
"What a fool," Dragonbone Xie Yue sighed inwardly. Now it finally understood why Yun Shang hadn't killed it and left it to Long Chen.
It found that it was now being moved by Long Chen's emotions. Having almost never understood emotion in its life, it was actually moved. The word 'partner' had once been so unfamiliar in its life.
The old man nodded and said, "In that case, let's not worry about it anymore. Let's talk about your Azure Dragon Seal."
The Azure Dragon Seal is a form of dragon blood runes, with both offensive and defensive states. When you just gripped it, although it was in an offensive state, you haven't yet grasped its key points.
This is different from your human techniques—it doesn't require coordination of heart, spirit, or intent, because it's the most basic divine ability. There's no need to break the seal, just to know how to channel your blood essence.
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, the old man raised a finger and tapped Long Chen on the shoulder.
"Pfft" Long Chen's
shoulder was pierced through by the old man's finger, blood splattering everywhere. The intense pain startled Long Chen:
"Senior, you're ...."
You have to understand, at this moment, Long Chen is in the Azure Dragon Battle Body state. With a casual pointing from the old man, he didn't even have a chance to resist before being injured. If the old man wanted to kill him, wouldn't he be instantly killed in a single blow?
The old man pointed to the wound on Long Chen's shoulder. Only then did Long Chen look at the wound and notice that runes appeared on the dragon scales around the wound. The runes surged, and without needing him to channel his life force, they slowly healed his wound. After a single breath, the wound healed on its own.
"See that? The runes are the same, but their colors differ: red symbolizes offense, and when the rune turns green, it becomes defense.
When I poked you with a finger just now, if you were a dragon clan powerhouse, you wouldn't need to defend yourself. Dragon blood would instinctively sense the attack and convert it into defense to withstand the strike.
However, you clearly haven't developed the dragonblood reflex, and dragonblood runs too slowlyIt should have been repaired instantly, but it took so long.
So, to master this move, you need to work hard to learn how to control the power of your essence and blood. Come, use your best move to attack me. The old man said.
Long Chen moved his large hand slightly, almost without hesitation, almost slapping out. But the moment he struck, he sensed something was wrong and couldn't use this move. Suddenly, he switched from slapping to grabbing, aiming for the old man's chest.
"Smack"
Long Chen moved very fast, his move powerful and heavy, but the old man casually grabbed his wrist. Long Chen immediately felt as if his wrist was being gripped by steel. After a sharp pain, he couldn't exert any force.
Long Chen was shocked. Is this the power of the Dragon King? No, that's not right. He had already lost his physical body, just a wisp of his soul, but how did he still possess such terrifying power? So just how strong was he before? Long Chen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"The way you attack is wrong. The intention is to act first. That's your human habit, but the dragon clan has the habit of gathering strength first.
The dragon clan's fighting style is domineering yet fierce, straightforward and straightforward, without beating around the bush or requiring any skill—just overwhelming and overwhelming.
As long as the power is great enough, even a single fart can crush a large group of enemies. If the power is insufficient, all moves are nothing more than monkey tricks.
So remember, this way of attacking cannot resonate with dragon blood. Without resonating with dragon blood's power, runes become weak and unable to unleash their true strength.
Starting over, this time, ignoring spiritual essence and soul power, forget them all, rely solely on brute force—that is the true power of flesh and blood. The old man shouted, reaching out and pushing Long Chen back several steps. His gaze was sharp, like a strict teacher giving Long Chen instructions.
Long Chen nodded gratefully, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and the blood essence within him surged, producing a thunderous boom as runes lit up his fists.
The moment Long Chen gathered his strength, the essence blood within him began to boil, and a continuous stream of power surged toward his fist. At this moment, Long Chen finally understood what it meant for dragon blood to resonate with runes. In that instant, he could easily concentrate all his power into a single punch.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen shouted sharply and threw a punch. At the very moment Long Chen threw his punch, the void collapsed in large areas, as if it could not withstand Long Chen's punch and was about to explode.
With a loud explosion, the elder in front of Long Chen was smashed to pieces by a single punch. The scene before his eyes vanished in an instant, and the blood-red crystal appeared before Long Chen.
"Senior," Long Chen cried out in surprise.
But no one responded to him. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream. Long Chen stared at the Blood Essence Stone before him, unable to help but be stunned.
After an unknown amount of time, Long Chen snapped back to his senses, bowed deeply to the Blood Essence Stone, and finally reached out to take the stone.
Upon receiving the Blood Essence Stone, Long Chen felt a sense of closeness to the stone, as if his bloodline was connected. He knew that it was the Dragon King who had infused the essence blood from the stone into his body, which was why it was like this.
Long Chen noticed that the power of the Blood Essence Stone had weakened considerably. According to his estimation, the old man had injected at least half of the Dragon King's essence blood into his body.
At this moment, Long Chen was immersed in the blood pool, where the essence of ten thousand dragons worshipped him, as if he regarded him as the Dragon King and obeyed him completely.
Long Chen formed hand seals with both hands, gathering all the essence blood from the pool, along with the Dragon King Blood Essence Stone, into the chaotic space.
After finishing everything, Long Chen returned to the entrance, stepped into the spatial barrier, and appeared once again beneath the Dragon King's reverse scale.
"Ss s s..."
As Long Chen appeared, countless sharp arrows shot toward him.
"Hahaha, I knew it, you rat must be hiding." Zhao Ritian's arrogant laughter rang out, full of pride.
