With a muffled "bang
," Long Chen smashed his fist onto the rusty spear. The spear stood like a pillar holding up the sky. When Long Chen struck, the spear didn't budge an inch, while Long Chen clenched his fists, bent over in pain.
"So hard."
Long Chen's punch didn't use much force, just a tentative, probing blow. The recoil was terrifying, shattering his fist.
And that was just a light punch. If it had been a full-force punch, Long Chen might have lost his arm.
Although the pain was excruciating, a look of wild joy appeared on Long Chen's face. This spear was definitely a priceless treasure.
"Hahaha, I'm rich, I'm rich!" Long Chen hugged the huge pillar, laughing heartily, looking almost mad.
The powerful figures watching from afar, regardless of their clan, all wore strange expressions upon seeing this scene:
"Has this guy gone mad?" Could he be thinking... "
Could he be ...?"
For a moment, a bizarre thought popped into people's minds, but they also felt it was unlikely. Yet, seeing Long Chen laugh arrogantly, it seemed just as they imagined.
"Master, could he be trying to take that spear away?" The Blood Demon clan expert said in a trembling voice.
"Impossible. That spear is an immortal divine weapon. Its owner should have long since passed away, perhaps perishing together with the Demon Saint.
And Long Chen is just a minor Immortal King—how could he possibly awaken an immortal divine weapon? Xue Qingkuang sneered.
However, at this moment, Long Chen stood on the back of the Primordial Winged Demon, looking greedy, stroking his spear, drooling, and his confidence was not as firm.
For a moment, countless eyes focused on Long Chen, not knowing what this guy was up to.
"Clang, dang, dang... Long
Chen took out an iron hammer and struck the shaft of the spear, which was like a pillar of the sky. Countless rust stains fell off, but after just a few strikes, the hammer in Long Chen's hand shattered.
"Wow, even a few light taps on a domain artifact won't work."
Long Chen couldn't help but click his tongue. He hadn't attacked the spear, just gently tapped a few times, hoping the rust would peel off and examine the runes on the spear.
But after a few strikes, the hammer exploded. The spear was too strong, so Long Chen took out a Realm King Domain artifact and struck it a few times, shattering it as well.
"Boom!"
In a fit of rage, Long Chen drew a long staff and smashed it fiercely at the spear. The spear shattered into powder in an instant, and Long Chen's thumb and tiger mouth were split open, blood gushing out.
Earlier, after a few hits, there was still some rust coming off, but with the stick behind him, not even a trace of rust came off.
"This won't do. The rust on the outside is all traces left by the passage of time. If you don't peel it off, you won't be able to see the original form.
If you can't see the original body, you can't activate its runes; without activating them, you simply can't pull them out. Long Chen was suddenly at a loss. The rust was so hard to peel off—it was deadly.
Although Long Chen had quite a few domain artifacts, he couldn't afford to waste them like this. Even if he could afford it, he couldn't afford to waste time. If he kept tapping slowly, how long would it take to keep tapping?
"Hey, children of the Blood Demon Clan, how about we make a deal?" Long Chen stood on the back of the Primordial Winged Demon, shouting to the powerful members of the Blood Demon clan.
The Blood Demon clan experts were furious. Long Chen's words were filled with immense humiliation—he was extremely annoying.
"What kind of deal?"
However, Xue Qingkuang still patiently replied coldly, wanting to know what Long Chen was up to.
"I'm running into some trouble right now. If you can help me with two things, I can draw my spear. When the time comes... Hehe, you know what I mean! Long Chen chuckled.
"Nonsense! I don't believe you can pull it out at all. Do you think we're fools?" Xue Qingkuang sneered.
That Sky-Piercing Spear—let alone Long Chen, even if all the powerful beings present joined forces, they wouldn't be able to draw it.
"You really are a fool. I, Long Chen, have never spoken a single empty word in my life. If I say I can pull it out, I can pull it out. If you don't believe me, then forget it. I'll seek cooperation from other demon clans." Long Chen sneered coldly, speaking while pretending to look around.
Xue Qingkuang was moved. Could he really be that confident? He said coldly, "
Why don't you tell me first?"
"Right now, I need two things: one is money, the other is goods. If you can provide money and goods, I can draw the spear." Long Chen said.
"If you're paying money and goods, then what are you paying?" Xue Qingkuang sneered.
"I'll contribute the manpower and effort!" Long Chen said.
"Do you think I'm a fool? Would you believe your lies? Xue Qingkuang said disdainfully.
Suddenly, someone beside Xue Qingkuang made a gesture to him. He turned to look into the distance and saw an elderly man in the outer area making a gesture to him.
Xue Qingkuang was stunned. The person who gestured to him was none other than the clan leader of their Blood Demon clan, yet he actually asked him to get more information from Long Chen.
As for Xue Qingkuang's hand signals with the old man, Long Chen saw it clearly. Although he didn't know what they communicated, he could basically guess some of it.
"Go ahead, tell me, what do you want? I'll think about it!" Xue Qingkuang said coldly.
"I want the Tenfold Crimson Blood Essence Gold, the Tenfold Crimson Blood Secret Silver, and the Tenfold Crimson Blood Wind Copper..." Long Chen named more than a dozen types of immortal gold in one breath.
These dozen or so types of immortal gold are specialties of the Blood Demon World, almost impossible to buy outside. Once they appear, countless people will compete for them.
"Are you crazy? That Crimson Blood Essence—even in ten thousand years, I couldn't mine a single part of it in the entire Blood Demon Star Domain. And you just say it out loud?
The materials you mentioned are enough for our Blood Demon clan to painstakingly mine for millions of years. Do you think I'd give them to you? Xue Qingkuang sneered.
In his eyes, this guy was nothing but a wild fanatic; the Blood Demon Clan would never agree to his request.
"Don't interrupt me yet. Besides these materials, I also want a Heavenly Blood Lotus Seed from your sacred land's Blood Sea." Long Chen continued.
"Nonsense! The Tongtian Blood Lotus of my Blood Demon Clan only has one plant. It blooms once every three million years, bears fruit once every three million years, and only one fruit each time.
That is the supreme treasure of our Blood Demon clan. Even I have never seen it. You just want it right away—are you deliberately teasing us? Xue Qingkuang couldn't hold back any longer and cursed angrily.
The Tongtian Blood Lotus is the totemic sacred medicine of the Blood Demon clan, and the lotus seed is a sacred artifact. Not only can it revive the dead and flesh and bones, but even if the body is destroyed, as long as the primordial spirit remains, the lotus seed can be used as a base to rebuild the body.
Moreover, after reconstructing the body with the Tongtian Blood Lotus Seed, it becomes the Tongtian Blood Lotus Body, possessing supreme divine power—a treasure coveted by countless members of the Blood Demon Clan.
Unfortunately, the Tongtian Blood Lotus Seed is too rare. Xue Qingkuang wasn't wrong, even he, the Blood Demon One,Even the strongest young member of the clan had never seen what the Tongtian Blood Lotus Seed looked like, let alone anyone else.
"Tch, I want the Tongtian Blood Lotus Seed, not for myself—I'm using it on the Primordial Winged Demon.
Only by awakening its instincts can you help me pull out this spear. Since you can't bear to part with it, then forget it. Long Chen shrugged and said.
At that moment, the distant Blood Demon clan chief gave Xue Qingkuang an order that left him unable to believe it.
"Alright, I'll cooperate with you. But if you dare deceive our Blood Demon Clan, I guarantee you'll die without a grave."
Xue Qingkuang gritted his teeth and said. At that moment, even the Blood Demon Clan experts beside him were stunned.
