One image woke the dreamer. Long Chen could no longer control the power of divine fire because when the 108,000 stars ignited the divine fire, it was like a volcano 108,000 — once used, all these volcanoes would erupt simultaneously.
The hundred and eight thousand stars are one entity, inseparable, and even less able to extract any of their power. Either they are not used, or they must be used in full.
Long Chen had been advancing to the Divine Fire Realm for some time now. By rights, he should have been able to adapt to the power of divine fire by now, but he still couldn't control it.
Long Chen had always thought it was his control that hadn't reached the micro-level yet, so the domineering divine fire power was only able to harm his body.
Last time, during a small trial with Zhao Wuzheng, he used the power of divine fire, but his arm was still injured. Part of that came from Zhao Wuzheng's countershock, and part from the starry divine fire's counterattack.
Feeling he still couldn't control the power of the divine fire, Long Chen had always dared not improve his cultivation. But after seeing this star map today, Long Chen suddenly understood. He realized it wasn't because his control was insufficient, but because he was missing something.
Based on the Seven-Star Battle Body, the Star River Saint Lord created the Galaxy Sky Absolute. The reason for its success was that he found the yin-yang core that could alleviate the power of the stars—the yin-yang fish in the man's dantian depicted in the mural.
The Yin-Yang fish flows, alternating between yin and yang, blending the fierce power of the stars with the power of femininity. In this way, after the power of the stars is transformed, the power of the stars—which previously cannot be used directly—can now be controlled.
The Star River Saint Lord used acquired power to alter his dantian, forming a yin-yang field to withstand the power of the stars—this was truly a bold idea.
At first, Long Chen had no immediate inspiration, but when he saw the dense spots on the Nine-Star Heir's arm, he immediately thought of the scales he had used when he used the Azure Dragon Battle Body.
He didn't have a dantian and couldn't nurture yin-yang power, but he used dragon scales as a carrier, first channeling the power of the stars into the scales. After the scales buffered them, he infused them into his body, creating a buffer that could also achieve the effect of the Star River Saint Lord.
Long Chen had 108,000 stars. Later, he was surprised to discover that when he summoned the Azure Dragon Battle Body, the scales on his body were exactly 108,000 pieces, which seemed no coincidence.
In the past, Long Chen's 108,000 stars corresponded with the Azure Dragon Battle Body, but after entering the Immortal Realm, this resonance disappeared, and Long Chen paid no attention.
But today, Long Chen discovered that the Azure Dragon Battle Body was also an incredibly mysterious technique. If combined with the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, he believed he could absolutely master the power of divine fire.
Thinking of this, Long Chen silently calculated in his mind how to align the hundred-eight thousand stars with the scales—this was the key to solving the problem.
The power of the divine fire now was like a giant iron hammer. If it smashed the earth, it would create a big pit, but if it struck a rock, the hammer would shatter into pieces, and his hand would be shaken until blood gushed profusely.
Now he needed a soft handle to keep the hammer's power undiminished and prevent himself from being injured by the recoil. This soft handle was the Azure Dragon Battle Body.
"Hey..."
Suddenly, Long Chen was tapped on the shoulder. He was lost in his calculations, fully focused and unprepared. Startled, he shivered and turned to see Bai Shishi staring at him.
It seemed she hadn't expected that Long Chen, who was fearless and fearless, would actually be startled. Seeing Long Chen in such a sorry state, Bai Shishi's beautiful lips curved into a smile, as if she wanted to smile but also felt embarrassed.
"If you want to laugh, then laugh out loud. Don't hold in your big snot." Long Chen said irritably.
"Get lost!"
Bai Shishi's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an angry expression. This guy really has a sharp tongue.
"Why are you filming me?" Long Chen said with great displeasure.
"I just saw you staring at that mural for too long—one moment frowning, the next beaming with joy. I'm afraid you'll turn into a mad dog and bite people randomly." Bai Shishi snorted coldly.
It turned out Long Chen had stared at the mural for too long, and his expression had changed drastically. Although his soul fluctuations were steady, Bai Shishi was still worried he might be in danger, so she patted him to test the waters. But her good intentions only met with Long Chen's cold words, which instantly made her angry—this guy was so ungrateful.
Seeing Bai Shishi say this, Long Chen shrugged: "Alright, I wrongly accused you. I apologize to you." "
Long Chen actually apologized, catching Bai Shishi off guard. Long Chen's personality had changed so much that she couldn't react in time. Her eyes fixed on Long Chen, unsure whether he was truly apologizing or just laying the groundwork for the dirty remarks to come. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"When I cultivate the Galaxy and Firmament Technique, there are many things I can't figure out, but after seeing this painting, I feel enlightened and enlightened. So, unconsciously, I became deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate myself.
I need to go into a brief retreat now. Please help me protect the Dharma. Long Chen said seriously.
"Seclusion, now?" Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen as if he were a monster. The situation here was so urgent, yet he was about to enter seclusion.
"I won't be in seclusion for long, not more than three hours at most. If there's danger, you can wake me up at any time." Long Chen said.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a jade token at the waist of a disciple of the Celestial Maiden Alliance glowed. The woman's expression changed:
"Something's wrong! Someone has entered the passage and triggered a mechanism."
Everyone's hearts tightened. Once the passage was discovered, it definitely wouldn't be an enemy. The five major powers had already joined forces, and all their strong fighters would rush in immediately—they had already been exposed.
Moreover, that passage was the only way in and out of here. Now they were like fish trapped in a jar. The experts from the five major powers would surely block the exit, and the top experts could break in at any moment.
Bai Shishi glanced at Long Chen, who smiled slightly and said, "It's fine, let them in. You all keep collecting the murals, I'll go into seclusion first." After
Long Chen finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground, silver scales appearing all over his body. After those scales appeared, within each scale, a tiny star pattern appeared.
After the star appeared, flames slowly emerged. When the flames appeared, the entire space trembled violently. Even a powerhouse like Bai Shishi felt a chill in her heart. A violent power radiated from Long Chen, invisibly radiating from him, inspiring awe.
"Hurry up, put away all the murals, conserve your strength, and prepare for the big battle." Seeing everyone staring at Long Chen in shock, Bai Shishi couldn't help but remind him.
Everyone sped up, and after an hour, all the murals were carefully put away, counted on the spot in quantity and specifications, and after public announcement, handed them over to Bai Shishi.
While everyone was collecting the murals, the woman skilled in formations received signals one after another: the enemy had been repeatedly breaking the formation and was closing in.
"Alliance Leader, the enemy is about to reach the entrance to the main hall. I think we should seal off the entrance and occupy the advantageous terrain." The woman said.
"No need, just let them in." Just then, Long Chen's voice rang out.
Everyone was both surprised and delighted. Long Chen had finished his seclusion so quickly. He slowly stood up, his face beaming with a bright smile, seemingly in a very good mood.
"What strategic deployment?" Bai Shishi asked.
"No need. Bring back all the guards. Next, the exciting show is about to unfold. Please stay tuned, everyone." Long Chen chuckled, and the sinister tone in his smile made Bai Shishi get goosebumpsHere it comes.
