When the first star was occupied by blood-red runes, at that moment, all the stars' defenses seemed to collapse in an instant. In almost the blink of an eye, the entire star domain was instantly covered by purple runes, and the entire star sea appeared in a dreamlike purple hue. The beautiful scene left even Long Chen stunned.
"Purple blood not only resolves the conflict between the Seven-Colored Supreme Blood and Dragon Blood, but can also so easily merge into the stars. There must be secrets I don't know about this."
Long Chen looked at the purple star sea, delighted, but also fell into deep thought. His father was a descendant of Jiuli, his mother a descendant of Purple Blood. Was their union really just a coincidence?
Back then, when the dragon clan experts chose him to inherit the Dragon Blood Battle Body, was that also related? Long Chen clearly remembered that the place where he obtained the Chaos Pearl was called the Jiuli Secret Realm. What exactly did this mean?
The Dan Emperor's memory contained countless pill recipes, but without the Chaos Space, these formulas were completely meaningless to Long Chen.
All these conditions were indispensable for him to be where he is today. At that moment, Long Chen smiled. The so-called 'Child of Destiny' was nonsense; he was the one truly destined by fate, or rather, all the mandates of heaven were under his control.
At that moment, Long Chen seemed to suddenly understand many things. He didn't care about all that—he just wanted to get stronger, and left the rest to time to prove.
Long Chen immersed his mind in the star sea and continued to infuse the power of purple blood. He wanted the purple blood to copy the entire star sea.
Long Chen's star did not deliberately reject the purple blood. Previously, when the purple blood rune shattered, it was the star's instinctive defense. Breaking through this layer of defense made everything easier.
However, in the star sea, covering all the billions and eighteen million stars with the power of purple blood is an enormous undertaking.
Fortunately, what Long Chen feared did not happen. Before the purple blood was about to run out, it finally covered the entire star.
At that moment, Long Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Purple Blood couldn't cover the entire star region, it would be completely ruined, and the plan would immediately collapse.
He secretly felt relieved. If it weren't for the divine pool's baptism, the dragon blood, purple blood, and supreme blood would have all been greatly enhanced, and his purple blood would not have been enough to cover this star sea.
Previously, the cover was just a surface, but this sea of stars wasn't a picture—it was a three-dimensional structure. To cover it would require unimaginable energy.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the star sea behind Long Chen vanished, then reappeared. However, this time, the star sea he condensed no longer showed star fluctuations, but instead pure purple blood power.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen extended his large hand forward, palm facing upward, silently channeling his inner technique. The Purple Blood Star Sea behind him began to slowly flow, and the endless stars started to contract.
Suddenly, Long Chen's palm was struck by intense pain, because a Star Sea Map appeared on his palm. As the sea contracted, purple flames burned in his palm.
Long Chen didn't panic. This was an inevitable process of condensing blood talismans. To withstand this blow, his palm had to be tempered; otherwise, before he could unleash it, it would explode.
However, as time passed, Long Chen's palm hurt more and more, and he couldn't help but feel a bit shocked.
The Qiankun Cauldron had said that purple blood was the gentlest power and the easiest to control, but it had only just begun, and the intense pain was already unbearable.
You have to know, his physical body had reached a level that others could look up to, but to withstand this blow, it was still far from enough; otherwise, his palm wouldn't have burned so fiercely.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
Blood Sea Star Map behind Long Chen kept shrinking, gradually forming a vague "cross" shape. In Long Chen's palm, a cross-shaped fissure appeared, and the purple blood inside was burning wildly.
The intense pain made Long Chen's arm tremble uncontrollably. Long Chen was shocked: "
This is the gentlest purple blood. If it were the power of the stars, my hand would have burst long ago, right?"
Long Chen gritted his teeth and endured. As time passed, the stars behind him kept compressing. The number "ten" shifted from blurry to clear. The clearer it was, the more he could feel the terror of this strike.
"I see, this is to compress all the purple blood power into a single strike!" Previously, Long Chen had only roughly understood its principles, but after practicing it himself, he realized no wonder this move was so terrifying.
Perhaps, once he masters it, he can control its power and freely decide how much power to infuse.
But the first time was impossible; all the power had to be poured into it without holding back. Only then could the formed Cross Blood Talisman withstand 100% of the power within the body.
This is completely opposite to normal cultivation methods. Others practice a divine power and technique step by step, but the Cross God-Annihilation technique requires reaching the ultimate on the very first try.
No wonder the Qiankun Cauldron said that even within the Nine Star lineage, very few can master this move; anyone who can use it is an elite-level powerhouse.
Cultivating it has nothing to do with skill or comprehension; it depends on whether your physical body is strong enough—simple yet brutal.
However, there was no technique to speak of; it referred to other Nine-Star inheritors, not Long Chen. Long Chen was now cultivating the Cross God Slayer in a shortcut method.
After all, Long Chen had the conditions. As long as he mastered this move with bloodline power, when he cultivated the power of the stars to condense the Cross God-Annihilation technique, the difficulty would be much lower, and he would also save a lot of time.
Because among Nine-Star inheritors, this move takes at least several months to practice, while the slowest takes ten years. If you can't master it in ten years, there's no hope in this lifetime.
But Long Chen could use bloodline power to control the Cross God of Extermination, so when his physical body met that standard, he could instantly merge and connect with it.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
purple blood star kept compressing relentlessly. Long Chen's palm trembled uncontrollably, the intense pain twisting Long Chen's face. Even with Long Chen's ability to endure pain, he was so overwhelmed by the pain that stars appeared before his eyes, and his lips were bitten until they bled.
Long Chen endured desperately. If he couldn't even withstand the gentlest purple blood, how could he talk about looking down on all under heaven? This move is just a mid-level divine ability inherited from the Nine-Star Legacy.
However, the Qiankun Cauldron never told Long Chen that the Nine Star successors have a unique mental technique to resist pain. With such capability, the Nine Star disciples wouldn't be foolish enough to self-harm.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a purple divine light surged in Long Chen's palm. Immediately, the purple star sea behind him vanished in an instant. At that moment, Long Chen felt the power of the purple star sea surging like a tidal wave, all concentrated in his palm.
Long Chen was terrified. If he hadn't unleashed this power immediately, his arm would have shattered instantly.
Fortunately, there was a huge rock in the cultivation room. Long Chen struck the boulder with his palm, but for some reason, he suddenly shouted a name:
"Blood Han—Cross Gods!"
