Chapter 106 - Recovery’s Effect
The Heavenly Martial Realm was not composed of just plains. There were mountains, hills, basins, and canyons.
Everything that could be found in the outside world was found here too.
“To think that the Heavenly Martial Realm is almost the same as outside. I can’t even tell that it’s a Miniverse. This is very interesting.”
Long Chen admired the world he was in. The mystery of the Miniverse was beyond his imagination.
“True, but if you were to reach the border of the Miniverse, you would be able to touch the boundaries. As for the outside world, no one knows where the boundary is.”
Long Chen knew that the boundary was far from his current location.
He was currently in a canyon filled with unique boulders and rocks. He carefully navigated the area before finding a spot to hide.
It was a crack on the face of a wall. Long Chen pushed the big boulder away from the entrance and walked inside. He then pulled the boulder back to cover up the hole.
I’m like a mole now!
Long Chen was somewhat depressed since he still had to hide himself like a thief. Still ... The teams would be all over the Miniverse in search of the Taiqing Sword. Long Chen needed a quiet place to merge with the tenth Blazing Thunder Crystal.
If he was interrupted, especially by Feng Wutian, his life would be over.
“Long Chen, are you sure you want to merge with the tenth crystal?” Ling Xi was worried since she thought there was a chance of failing.
But Long Chen had already transformed into his strongest state and sat down. He took out the tenth Blazing Thunder Crystal from the Universe Pouch.
His eyes were filled with determination.
“Of course. I know where my limits are, so calm down. Am I even a man if I can’t endure this? Also, since I angered them, I will most certainly die soon if I don\'t get strong.”
Ling Xi sighed after failing to persuade Long Chen. “Please be careful, then.”
Even though she said that, she was already thinking of how to help him if he failed.
Long Chen smiled when he looked at the Blazing Thunder Crystal. He then swallowed it without any hesitation.
The crystal transformed into pure fire and electric energy the moment it entered his body. It converged with the existing energy in his dantian, which caused a strong resonance.
The tenth crystal is indeed the hardest to merge so far!
Long Chen was initially surprised before he felt a faint ache that slowly grew into an unbearable pain. The pain spread throughout his body. Even though he had transformed, the pain was almost impossible to endure!
He felt the energy of the lightning and fire breaking down his body. The speed of the destruction was much faster than his own body’s recovery. Soon, Long Chen felt pain much more intense than ever before. The pain came from all over his body, tearing and cutting him up like small knives.
The energy tearing his body apart was enough to make a normal person insane. Ling Xi saw blood flowing out of his lips.
Still, he continued to clench his teeth and persevere.
The energy of lightning and fire never stopped. Every time it circulated his body, the dragon scales covering him started to crack.
Even if he can endure it, he will still die! What should I do?
Ling Xi didn’t know what she could do.
Long Chen endured the pain, but he knew he would reach his limit. The current situation was not in his favor due to the destruction brought onto his body by the energy of the Blazing Thunder Crystal.
My body is reaching its limit!
Long Chen recalled that he had something that might help.
Recovery! It healed my hidden injuries before I can test it out now!
Long Chen immediately used Recovery. The intermediate Black-tier Life Combat Technique was capable of healing even the most serious injuries.
A stream of warmth intertwined between the gaps of the lightning and fire energy within his body. It circulated slowly within him, healing and mending the wounds of his flesh.
It works!
Long Chen was ecstatic and immediately increased the power of Recovery. A surge of warmth circulated within him. Every time a part of his body was destroyed by the lightning and fire, Recovery mended it.
The constant destruction and healing made his body stronger and more resilient.
Ling Xi saw Long Chen slowly become more stable, a far cry from how pained he looked when he first started merging the tenth Blazing Thunder Crystal.
“This is ... the trace of Recovery.”
Ling Xi finally recalled that Recovery could help with this pain!
If he had used a spiritual herb, he would’ve had to use some of his Qi to refine it. But Long Chen was currently focusing all of his Qi and attention to oppose the energy of lightning and fire, so it was impossible for him to focus on refining spiritual herbs.
But Recovery was a technique embedded within his body, so he could activate it without any restrictions.
This was the unique aspect of Life Combat Techniques. Quick, reliable, and effective. Also, aside from the initial cost, Long Chen didn’t have to spend any money to continue using it.
“He’s too lucky.”
Ling Xi had a feeling that without Recovery, Long Chen might not have been able to endure it. Thankfully, he was slowly adapting to the pain, leaving her relieved.
With Recovery aiding him, Long Chen barely managed to endure the pain. Still, it would be extremely difficult to endure it for up to six days. His situation was still perilous.
Using Recovery still consumed some of his Qi, and with his Qi lessening, the energy of lightning and fire could cause a backlash!
Long Chen had expected that this would happen sometime down the road. It took him two days before his Qi finally ran out.
After just two days, Long Chen\'s body had improved so much that it was just a step away from the legendary Blazing Thunder Combat Body.
But he had no more Qi, so the energy of lightning and fire backlashed. It was initially suppressed, but now it circulated his entire body without any restraints.
Long Chen was initially quiet, with the energy slowly and methodologically refining his body, but Ling Xi noticed that the energy was suddenly circulating wildly. Not only did it envelop his entire body, it even shot towards his blood-red Human Core!
“Oh no! He’s going to explode!”
Long Chen broke out in a cold sweat. The energy had already reached his Human Core. He did not have enough Qi to hold it back!
If the energy surged into his dantian and he couldn’t withstand it, his Human Core would be destroyed and he would explode.
The tenth Blazing Thunder Crystal. Am I just a step away? I don’t want to yield to it!
He thought about how many things were unfinished, how the Yang family was waiting for him to rescue them, and how Ling Xi needed his help.
Long Chen had already expected something to go wrong when he merged with the tenth crystal, but this was beyond his expectations. He had underestimated the crystal’s power.
No! I will not die here!
Long Chen’s will to survive was indomitable. He swore he would not die to a mere Blazing Thunder Crystal!
“I am Long Chen! I WILL NEVER DIE!” Long Chen roared, causing the small crack he was in to reverberate and shake.
The energy of lightning and fire within him had transformed into a blue streak and hurled itself towards his dantian.
Within his dantian was his Human Core. It was currently dim and spent. There wasn’t much it could do after exhausting all of his Qi.
Only the blood-red pattern on the Human Core could be seen clearly.
The energy of lightning and fire was about to enter his dantian. Long Chen gritted his teeth and did his best to withstand the impact. Just then, the blood-red pattern on his Human Core started glowing brightly, as if it was coming alive.
A pair of red lights shot out from the eyes of the dragon pattern, and they were heading straight towards the energy of lightning and fire.
A blood-red mist enveloped the energy, then Long Chen miraculously felt the energy slowly transforming.
Soon, the energy that filled his dantian was no longer blue. It had changed into a blood-red energy filled with the same lightning and fire.
