Fengfu Star absorbed all the medicinal power from the 108,000 stars, and then a series of cracking sounds rang out, and a layer of purple spots appeared on the star.
Then, the active Fengfu Star fell silent once again. The power of this tribulation pill, vast as the sea, only formed a few tiny spots on the star, and then it became completely still.
Last time when condensing the Mingmen Star, although its power was absorbed by other stars, this had never happened. All the pill's power was absorbed by the Fengfu Star, and the other stars didn't get a single thing, let alone the still empty Purple Que Star.
Long Chen swallowed another pill. This time, with experience, he didn't need to suppress it. The hundred-eight thousand stars trembled, and the medicinal power was naturally drawn into the stars.
Then, just like before, Fengfu Star was like a whale sucking water, devouring all its power without leaving a single drop for the other stars.
After absorbing the pills, several more purple spots appeared on Fengfu Star. Long Chen swallowed nearly a hundred pills in one go. The star was already covered in spots, but he couldn't feel any change at all.
Long Chen drew in a sharp breath. Although he knew that condensing the Purple Que Star would require a considerable amount of pills, he hadn't expected that after taking a hundred Zique Pills, not even a ripple would be raised.
Long Chen gritted his teeth and ate one piece at a time—two hundred... Five hundred ... One thousand ....
Long Chen had consumed all three thousand Purple Que Pills in his hand. The Fengfu Star was now covered in dense spots, and the once bright stars had turned into purple stars.
The purple glow is dazzling and enchanting; looking at its glow feels like falling into a dream.
As it slowly turned, Long Chen felt that at some point, purple spots had appeared in his blood.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen suddenly threw a punch. There was no punch wind, but the entire quiet chamber shook, and countless defensive runes lit up—the formation reacting after bearing immense force.
"This power... Long
Chen was startled. His blood energy hadn't changed, but it seemed as if a new force had appeared within his body. This power was something Long Chen had never encountered before—hard to describe or explain, but it seemed to have a tremendous destructive power to the laws.
However, these purple spots seemed to silently alter Long Chen's body, and he himself could not control them.
"The Lord of the Nine Stars is the one who can cripple the Ghost Emperor. His cultivation technique is absolutely invincible. Who cares about all that? Just do it." Long Chen gritted his teeth and comforted himself.
He knew that the slower the effect, the stronger the power of the seventh star, but he feared that the quantity of pills would be too large for him to afford to harm.
Over the past few days, he had refined a total of three thousand Purple Que Pills. The materials were almost exhausted. He had as many rare herbs as he could get, but the rare medicines from demon beasts and spirit beasts were somewhat difficult to obtain.
Although Zheng Wenlong said he would continue to gather materials for him later, according to his estimate, the materials collected this time definitely wouldn't exceed last time.
Because the major star domains of Ming Hao Heaven have only so many resources, and the rare medicines Long Chen needs are all very niche. Some rare herbs are very hard to find.
In other words, if Zheng Wenlong helped him gather the herbs again, at most he could only refine about three thousand more Purple Que Pills, which was still too much of a gap for Long Chen.
It's not that Zheng Wenlong is incompetent, but the resources Long Chen needs are not produced by Ming Haotian itself, which is why they are so scarce.
However, Long Chen wasn't worried. He was about to go to Ziyan Heaven, and as long as he had money, resources would never be lacking.
After finishing all the pills, Long Chen calmed down, allowing himself to enter an ethereal state and carefully feel the purple spots in his blood to sense his own changes.
Immersing his mind entirely in a single spot, magnifying it hundreds of times, Long Chen was shocked to find that within these spots were egg-shaped objects, resembling irregular eggs.
Inside this egg, it seemed to be sleeping with some mysterious power, but that power could not be detected by the soul—it was extremely mysterious.
These sleeping eggs made Long Chen's blood more active, and although he absorbed the true dragon essence blood, these purple spots did not cause any repulsion from the dragon blood. Not only could the two coexist peacefully, but they also made the dragon blood highly active.
The power of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique was unimaginable. Long Chen couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't be bothered to bother with it.
These purple spots were quietly causing some kind of change in his body. Although he didn't know exactly what the change was, Long Chen firmly believed it would only make him stronger.
"We have to speed up!"
Long Chen looked at the void belonging to Zique Star, then glanced at the other five stars that remained motionless. They were like hungry wolves, waiting to replenish their energy.
Long Chen realized that to condense the Purple Que Star, he had to feed the other six stars first; otherwise, the pill's power simply wouldn't reach the Purple Que Star.
In this battle against the Nine Nether Rakshasas, although Long Chen was outmatched, he also saw the terrifying potential of the Nine Nether Rakshasas.
On the phantom of the Rakshasa, countless invisible tentacles reached into the void, but the Nine Nether Rakshasa could not activate those tentacles.
Although he didn't know what those tentacles were for, the terrifying threat they posed was something Long Chen had always remembered, which gave him a strong sense of crisis.
He possessed the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, and likewise, others had terrifying trump cards. Moreover, he had the entire Nine Nether Hall backing him, with a higher realm than him. If she were to awaken the phenomenon first, he would probably be the one to suffer.
Even that idiot Liao Bencang managed to cultivate such a terrifying powerhouse. Long Chen didn't believe the cunning Empuda would have no real masters under his command. Compared to Liao Bencang, Long Chen was even more wary of this fat fox.
Through this battle, Long Chen finally understood the true strength of Empuda and Liao Bencang. The power of the Dharma Body was less than one-tenth of the true body's. Fortunately, they didn't want to pay such a high price to cross the heavens; otherwise, even if he had ten thousand lives, he would have to have some fun.
Seeing the gap only fueled Long Chen's fighting spirit. He was still young, with unlimited potential, and time was his greatest weapon.
After leaving the secret chamber, Long Chen took the teleportation array to the Luo family, leaving two Heavenly-grade Heavenly Dao Fruits for his two uncles. This way, the Luo family would have two Heavenly-grade Immortal Kings, making their foundation even more solid.
He also left behind a large number of Heavenly Dao Fruits to fully cultivate Luo family disciples. Through this great battle, Long Chen realized that the potential of Luo family disciples was truly terrifying. Many people, when their purple blood erupted, were almost equivalent to an unconventional Dragon Blood battle body. If Luo family disciples were well trained, they could form a very powerful team.
At the same time, Long Chen also took care of the academy. All the pills needed by the Luo family disciples were borne by the Seventh Branch. His mother owed the Luo clan too much, and he had to pay it off himself.
Long Chen didn't expect the Luo family disciples to be used by him; he simply wanted to compensate the Luo family, hoping it would make him feel a bit better.
Three days later, Long Chen's energy and spirit reached their peak. He donned a brand-new black robe, slung the Minghong Blade over his back, and silently left the Seventh Academy alone.
