Chapter 682 – Mastering The Divine Seal
However, many scouts were spotted outside the Battle clan. Long Yue and the others caught a few and realized they were from the Huangfu family. They had been ordered by Feng Xuan to find out where Huangfu Qi was. Huangfu Qi was with the Battle clan, and for safety purposes, Long Chen kept her by his side. Even if he was cultivating, he let her play near him since she liked staying with him anyway.
There was another thing—Liu Yiyi had left the Battle clan. Jiang Wuya had said that she had gone off to clear her mind, and Long Chen had to accept it. Although this was a dangerous time, Liu Yiyi was not an important figure, so she should be safe.
After Long Yue learned of Long Chen’s capabilities, she quickly planned for the future and proactively prepared for war. The experts of the Red Souls had already spread across all the major cities of the Divine Martial Empire. The moment the Martial Alliance collapsed, Long Yue would quickly take over to control the whole Divine Martial Empire. She was a natural leader, so she was familiar with this.
She did not want to rule over the Divine Martial Empire, but the Martial Alliance was their enemy. If Zhao Danchen did not die, they would not live. On the other hand, if he died, they would have to take over the responsibility of ruling the Divine Martial Empire. If not, the Divine Martial Empire would descend into chaos without anyone ruling over them.
Long Chen focused on his growth.
One month later, Long Chen was sitting in the dense forest of the Battle clan on a thick branch while Huangfu Qi played below. She was having a lot of fun with the children of the Battle clan, so a group of them were chasing each other and laughing loudly below. Due to Huangfu Qi being stronger, she quickly became the leader and was so happy that she did not want to go home.
Long Chen had told her not to disturb him, so she only played with the other children without affecting him.
The gray gas still covered his hands. It was clear that this was the same gas as the deathly Qi from the mysterious tombstone.
Deathly Qi danced in his hands.
Suddenly, he moved his arms and gently pressed his palms on the tree trunk, which was thick enough for two people to hold hands around its circumference.
Poof!
His hands suddenly sank in, as if he was touching water instead of a tree.
The kids were running around the tree when it suddenly disappeared. They looked up in a daze and saw Long Chen floating in the air.
He had only used a little strength, but the deathly Qi had poured out of the Desolate Divine Seal and eaten into the whole tree. The gray deathly Qi had a strong corrosive property.
“The Desolate Divine Seal is finally complete ...” Long Chen opened his eyes and looked at his hands in disbelief.
His essence initially had a Yang quality, but after using the Desolate Divine Seal, it quickly turned into terrifying, gray deathly Qi. This was a brutal type of power that had extraordinary effects similar to Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire.
Even Zhao Danchen’s Golden Combat Body would be corroded if he touched Long Chen’s divine seal.
The Desolate Divine Seal was supposed to be the most powerful of all the King-tier combat techniques, so this effect was expected.
Long Chen finally had a unique fatal strike of his own above the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw and the Wind God Kick. This technique was much more vicious than he had imagined. It would be his trump card for defeating Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan, as well as when he entered the Ancient Graveyard.
He had many divine techniques already. Regular people would never even have one of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s divine techniques, but he had many.
Now that he had mastered the Desolate Divine Seal, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The final battle was coming.
Below him, the children chattered.
“Uncle Chen, were you the one who made the tree disappear? You’re so cool!”
“Yeah! Yeah! It was a perfectly fine tree, but it disappeared all of a sudden!”
The children, who were barely ten years old, looked at him with sparkling eyes full of worship.
Long Chen did not expect to be called an uncle. Time waited for no one. Huangfu Qi called him ‘Big Brother,’ but the ones who were younger called him ‘Uncle Chen.’
It made sense. Their parents were in their twenties, and Long Chen was almost twenty.
“Big Brother, I want to learn this technique too!” Huangfu Qi begged when he came down, tugging on his shirt.
“You’ll become a man if you practice this technique! Do you still want it?” Long Chen teased.
“Become a man? That’s ugly! I don’t want it!” Huangfu Qi quickly dodged him. She and the other children made faces at him, then they ran off.
“Have you succeeded?” Long Yue appeared ahead and gave him a warm smile.
“Yes. I think Xiaolang will be awake soon too. However, the fight against Zhao Danchen will not need Xiaolang! I cannot drag this on any longer. I’ll head to Martial Overlord City now and kill Zhao Danchen ... I’ll leave the other arrangements to you.”
Long Chen was decisive. He had already waited a month and knew that there was no need to wait any longer.
It was finally time for the final battle.
Long Yue gathered all the Earthly Martial Realm masters, and they all looked at him with admiration.
“I won’t say too much. I’m going to the Martial Alliance to take Zhao Danchen down. As for what’s next, it’s up to you all,” Long Chen said mildly.
The more he grew, the quieter he became.
“Don’t worry, but you must promise us that you’ll be back to see us again!” Long Yue looked at him with a sisterly gaze.
Everyone had witnessed his growth.
“You really are a strong man,” she added.
Long Chen smiled and said, “Yeah, don’t you know who I am? I’m going now. Grandfather Long, the safety of the Battle clan will be in your hands for the moment. I will leave for Martial Overlord City in secret so Feng Xuan will not know I left. Other than you guys, no one will know. As for Qi Qi, I will take her away too. With me protecting her, she will be safe.”
Huangfu Fengchen knew that Long Chen would put her in the Primordial Realm, so he had peace of mind.
Everyone looked at him with hope in their eyes.
“Brother, your older brothers are useless. The future of the Dragon clan and the Battle clan is in your hands now!” said Jiang Wuya, patting his shoulder.
“Second Brother, Feng Xuan has Myriad Earth Essence with her. I will bring it back so you can regrow your lost arm,” he said determinedly.
“Do your best. Staying alive is the priority.” Jiang Wuya was touched.
Just like that, Long Chen put Huangfu Qi in the Primordial Realm, then he left quietly for Martial Overlord City. The Battle clan remained peaceful and did not change due to his departure. By the time Feng Xuan found out he was at Martial Overlord City, he might have killed Zhao Danchen already.
The final battle would start quietly.
***
Martial Overlord City, Martial Overlord Palace.
The dark top floor of the Martial Overlord Palace had become the place where Zhao Danchen spent most of his time. He used to dislike this place, but ever since he took over, he started to live here.
He could look down on the whole city from here. Controlling this city also meant he controlled the whole empire.
A gigantic empire.
Although it was a weak one, it still had a population and its own territory.
On the one hand, Zhao Danchen found he had become lonely. He had caused Zhao Wuji’s death for the sake of power and strength. In exchange, he received the reverence of everyone. Even the Third Earthly Martial Stage Xiao Lin also spoke to him in a reverent manner. This life made Zhao Danchen even more somber.
Ordinary people did not dare talk in front of him.
Everyone knew that Zhao Danchen was much darker and more terrifying than the previous Martial Overlord in terms of both mental fortitude and physical strength.
A dark cloud hung over Martial Overlord City.
“Long Chen!”
Zhao Danchen clenched his fists tight, and his eyes were covered in blood vessels!
“That bastard has many tricks up his sleeve! I now have the Martial Overlord Seal and the Martial Overlord Ring, yet I still can’t confidently beat him! If I fight him, even if I kill him, I will likely be injured too. Then that evil woman, Feng Xuan, will take advantage of it!”
Despite Zhao Danchen’s infinite rage towards Long Chen, he did not dare attack now.
He wanted Long Chen and Feng Xuan to fight to their deaths first, but a month had passed and there was no news of the Ancient Token. Feng Xuan and Long Chen were also quiet.
