"Do you still remember the Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening Technique?" Longgu Xie Yue said.
"Of course I remember! What's wrong? Long Chen asked.
"Hearing Guo Ran want to forge battle armor sparked a sudden inspiration for me. Maybe we can do the same." Longgu Xie Yue said.
"Don't get it?" So, do you and I need to build a communication bridge between us? You want to strike a scabbard? Long Chen was stunned.
"A fur scabbard, huh? I just like being naked, so what?" Longgu Xie Yue said irritably,
"What I mean is, the Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening are combat techniques from the Tianwu Continent. You're familiar with them, and so am I. After entering the Immortal Realm, you modified the Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening and turned the techniques from the mortal realm into immortal arts and divine skills.
That day in front of the Nine Heavens Gate, you performed the Five Forms in One, but this move was different from what I expected. "
Whoosh"
Suddenly, the Dragonbone Evil Moon slashed out with his blade. This strike was not made by Long Chen, but by the Dragonbone Evil Moon himself, aiming toward the sky.
The sky twisted widely, carving a huge depression. Amid the rolling air waves, an endless chasm was formed.
"Your move is completely dispersed, with a large attack area and intimidating pressure. But because the slashing area isn't concentrated, the destructive power is greatly reduced." Long Chen said.
"Didn't you notice that my strike compressed the void, compressing the power of the Heavenly Dao at the slash point, without any power leakage at all?
And when you strike, although the power is concentrated, when you cut through the void, no matter how skillful your control, it still consumes some energy. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
Long Chen nodded. Dragonbone Xie Yue was right, but this is an unavoidable drawback of all divine abilities. Any move that cuts through space is affected by spatial laws.
"Previously, I was thinking about this issue. I thought my method was better, but I didn't know how to gather the power of the rebound space at the slash point when breaking through the void.
And you're the same—you can't solve the consumption problem during slashing, so I think Guo Ran's method is worth trying. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
"How do you try it?"
Dragonbone Evil Moon spat out two words: "Rune"
"Wow, how did I not think of that!"
Long Chen slapped his thigh. When Dragon Bone Evil Moon uttered the word 'rune,' Long Chen immediately understood. However, creating a rune is extremely difficult.
However, this was no problem for Long Chen and Dragonbone Evil Moon. Long Chen gripped the hilt of Dragonbone Evil Moon's blade, and the Dragonbone Evil Moon glowed. Immediately, a miniature image of Dragonbone Evil Moon appeared on the blade.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
As soon as the shadow of the miniature Dragonbone Evil Moon appeared, the blade of the Dragonbone Evil Moon trembled, as if an invisible carving knife was carving into its body.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. This was a disagreement during their will fusion, which led to their failure.
Long Chen was mentally prepared. The two had different understandings of the Dragonbone Evil Moon. Integrating their philosophies would inevitably require various adjustments, requiring constant mutual verification and recognition. Only the final inscribed runes could simultaneously carry both their souls and wills.
Only in this way can the power of two people perfectly merge together. Only then can the creation of heaven be truly created.
"Buzz"—
What Long Chen didn't expect was that after only three failures, a grain-sized rune flickered on the Dragonbone Evil Moon.
"First Technique of Heaven-Opening Technique"—
Dragon Bone Evil Moon Slash.
"Rumble rumble... The
heavens and earth trembled, clouds split open, and a rift was carved into the void. Through the fissure, endless stars could be seen twinkling in the ninth heaven.
"Haha, we did it!" Dragonbone Xie Yue and Long Chen shouted excitedly at the same time, never expecting it to be so simple.
"We are geniuses!"
Dragonbone Xie Yue shouted excitedly. This move was the first time it and Long Chen had created together, and it held immense significance for them.
"Come on, let's continue, strike while the iron is hot—second move!"
Long Chen hurriedly said, taking advantage of the surge of inspiration, to continue carving the runes of the second form, so the inspiration wouldn't fade.
No one understood the terrifying power of this rune better than Long Chen. This was a true joint attack between Long Chen and the Dragonbone Evil Moon. Just now, simply activating the rune had already produced such terrifying power. If the two joined forces, this move could destroy heaven and earth.
So the two began to refine the second form of the Heaven-Opening Technique, which quickly succeeded, followed by the third... In the fourth form, they enter a state of self-forgetfulness, unable to feel the passage of time, let alone the consumption of energy.
Only after condensing the runes of the seventh form of the Heaven-Opening Technique did Long Chen suddenly feel the world spinning, his vision darkened, and he quickly grabbed the Dragonbone Evil Moon, nearly falling to the ground.
"I can't take it anymore, I have to stop, I feel like I'm about to throw up." Dragonbone Xie Yue said, its voice filled with exhaustion.
"I can't take it anymore. My head hurts like a needle is being pricked, and I feel completely drained." Long Chen also felt extremely uncomfortable.
"But I'm curious, if you vomit, what will you throw up?" Long Chen suddenly smiled.
"Does it even make sense to pick out that word? I'm expressing my pain based on your feelings. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said irritably.
Long Chen smiled, but found even smiling was a struggle, so he quickly swallowed a pill to recover.
"I need to rest too. Don't activate the runes for now, or you'll wake me up." After saying this, the Dragonbone Evil Moon fell silent. At that moment, the aura emanating from the Dragonbone Evil Moon also vanished.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, someone requests an audience."
Long Chen hadn't rested yet when Luo Ning ran over.
"Who is it?" Long Chen asked.
"He's a very strange person. You can't tell his cultivation level, nor do you see his face. He's always mysterious, saying he needs to see you urgently, and that this matter is very important to you." Luo Ning said.
Originally, there were too many people seeking an audience with Long Chen, and Long Chen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them. He left Bai Xiaole to handle reception, but with this person appearing, Bai Xiaole was a bit uncertain, so he asked Luo Ning to report to Long Chen.
Bai Xiaole couldn't discern the opponent's background or assess their cultivation level, which surprised Long Chen a bit. After all, Bai Xiaole had already cultivated the Six Paths Heavenly Eyes, and very few people could resist his insight.
Besides, when Xiao Jiu was with him, the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Fox's perception was equally astonishing. Neither of them could understand it, so it was truly extraordinary.
"Luo Ning, from now on, try to go out as little as possible. Your presence is starting to get hard to hide." Long Chen said.
Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, and others close to Long Chen—Long Chen secretly gave them the Nine-Star Destiny Pill.
However, this matter was an absolute secret. Long Chen told everyone to try to conceal their aura and not reveal such a powerful Destiny power.
However, as the effects of the medicine gradually dissipated, Luo Ning's Destiny power fluctuated more and more strongly, showing signs that it was becoming impossible to conceal. Therefore, Long Chen told her not to appear in front of everyone for now, and to wait until Xia Chen and Guo Ran's breath-concealing ring was successfully forged before coming out.
The Breath Seal Ring has been completed, but Xia Chen needs to inscribe it. After completing the rune, improvements will be made based on the effect. The fact that the Dragonblood Warriors haven't come out yet means Xia Chen's work isn't finished yet.
Long Chen arrived at the front hall of the academy, and when he saw a figure, his heart trembled violently.
