Tianxie Prefecture, Miesheng Mountain, Juelong Ridge.
This place is located in a remote area southwest of Minghao Heaven. It is a wild and remote land rarely visited by people.
Legend has it that during the Chaos era, a world-destroying battle took place here, burying countless evil spirits.
Because of the contamination from demonic corpses, the world there became desolate, unsuitable for cultivation, and thus became a wild land.
This almost forgotten place has come to people's attention because of a single challenge letter.
Minglong Tianzhao, the strongest prodigy of the Minglong clan today, has awakened his destiny and is the first person in this era to awaken it.
Although legend has it that in every major world, there are Demise-Mandate Practitioners challenging the Mandate, so far, aside from the Nether Dragon Amaterasu, no one has announced a successful awakening.
The Mandate of Heaven is the destiny of destiny, gathering countless fortunes within oneself and uniting the universe and all the Dao into one furnace. The Mandate represents the will of the Heavenly Dao; they are the supreme beings of this world, with endless prospects.
Although countless factions had already heard about the terror of the Chosen One, no one had ever seen him; all wanted to witness the legendary Chosen One's grandeur.
As the first Destiny Holder to announce the awakening of Destiny, Minglong Tianzhao instantly caused a huge sensation. However, many also found it strange—a Destiny Holder was challenging Long Chen, who was not even a Destiny User, nor even a quasi-Destiny User.
Out of curiosity, people began gathering information about Long Chen, and just then, news from beyond the heavens finally arrived—this news came from Nie Yingtian.
"Saint King, Long Chen is actually the current Saint King?"
When people heard this news, they suddenly understood: as the Mandate of Heaven, Minglong Tianzhao had challenged Long Chen.
The Saint King, the contemporary Saint King, represents the strongest prodigy of this era. Even if Long Chen hadn't killed Minglong Tianzhao's younger brother, Minglong Tianzhao would have appeared out of nowhere, and would surely challenge Long Chen.
Both were the strongest prodigies from two worlds. Whenever they met, a fierce battle was bound to erupt. This was no longer a personal battle but a contest between races.
Meanwhile, everything Long Chen had done in Nieying Heaven was reported back. When they learned that Long Chen had directly led his men to destroy the Great Wilderness Realm, fought fiercely against the Saints in the Unmanned Realm, and escaped unscathed, everyone was shocked.
Although that red-haired monster had just advanced to Saint, in his own world, his combat power was not suppressed, yet Long Chen had smashed his head off. This was simply horrifying.
Originally, people thought Minglong Tianzhao's challenge to Long Chen was just an excuse to test Lingxiao Academy, and that Long Chen was no match for him.
But now, people seem to understand that Long Chen is also a terrifying monster, and the battle between the two is full of unknowns.
When Long Chen accepted the challenge letter and announced the time and location of the final battle, countless powerful figures immediately set out for Tianxie Prefecture, Miesheng Mountain, and Juelong Ridge.
Seven days is just a blink of an eye for countless people, and they fear missing this great battle. Some factions have even mobilized their entire forces just to witness the battle between the Destiny Ones and the Holy Kings.
This is a battle that has attracted worldwide attention. Everyone wants to know who is stronger, the current Saint King or the Chosen One, and whether Long Chen represents the strongest force of the human race.
Just as the outside world was already boiling over, the Lingxiao Academy was completely calm. Everyone in the Dragonblood Legion was in seclusion, each one striving desperately to improve.
Long Chen kept absorbing the medicinal power, pushing himself into the best state. Time passed bit by bit, and seven days later, Long Chen emerged from seclusion.
When Long Chen emerged from seclusion, his cultivation had broken through again, reaching the fifth level of the Realm King. Only then did he absorb most of the medicinal effects of the Holy Light Snow Lotus Pill.
Although this secluded period was very short, it was already enough for Long Chen. The medicinal power of the Holy Light Snow Lotus Pill had no side effects, and the cultivation level was extremely solid.
After coming out of seclusion, Long Chen felt refreshed and energetic, feeling stronger than ever before, full of confidence.
"Boss"
When Long Chen emerged from seclusion, the Dragon Blood Legion had already been waiting for a long time. Yu Qingxuan, Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, and others were also among them.
"Wow, your progress speed is pretty frightening!" Long Chen discovered that Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, Yue Zifeng, Guo Ran, Xia Chen, Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, and others were all at the seventh level of Realm Kings, which was already late stage Realm King.
"It's all thanks to Sister Qingxuan's elixirs. Improving at the Realm King Realm is actually easier than at the Immortal King Realm." Bai Shishi said, standing beside Yu Qingxuan, her eyes full of excitement.
All the pills Yu Qingxuan refined were top-grade Golden Pills, with powerful medicinal effects. Moreover, the chaos energy was erupting at this moment, and under the nourishment of chaotic power, people's breakthroughs speed increased rapidly. This was an era of prodigies flourishing.
So, it's not just that the Dragonblood Legion's cultivation speed has increased, but in this broader environment, all cultivators' cultivation speed has increased, and the difficulty of progression has decreased.
"Hahaha, boss, take a look—how does our new armor look?" Guo Ran said excitedly.
"These words are..."
Long Chen suddenly noticed several immortal scripts appearing on Guo Ran's battle armor. The inscriptions shimmered with divine light and exuded a majestic aura, exuding a strong sense of pressure. Long Chen immediately recognized them as the Jiuli Immortal Script.
Long Chen had seen the second-generation Jiuli Immortal Script, but it never had such terrifying pressure. Long Chen suspected it was the first-generation Jiuli Immortal Script, but when did Guo Ran get to depict the first-generation Jiuli Immortal Script?
"Hehe, this is the first generation of Jiuli Immortal Script. Speaking of this, I really benefited from the boss's favor.
I asked Li Chenggang for it through a disciple of the Book Sect. Li Chenggang was quite generous and directly gave me seven first-generation Jiuli Immortal Scripts, and they were deciphered.
I have engraved these Jiuli Immortal Scripts onto my armor. Now, my armor has become like a tiger with wings, fearing no one. Guo Ran said arrogantly.
Clearly, he not only strengthened the armor again, but also had these first-generation Jiuli Immortal Scripts. After fusing them with the armor, he was filled with confidence.
"Boss, how about I take your place in the fight? I'll deal with that Nether Dragon Amaterasu." Guo Ran patted his chest and said.
"You are indeed very strong, but when facing the Nether Dragon Amaterasu, you still have some shortcomings.
Even I wouldn't have absolute confidence against the Nether Dragon Amaterasu. Long Chen shook his head.
"No way, boss, you're not confident?"
Guo Ran was startled. In his mind, the boss was invincible—at least within the same level.
Long Chen smiled faintly but didn't answer him. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, "
My battle with the Nether Dragon Amaterasu could very well lead to a chaotic battle. Let me remind you first."
If anyone intervenes in our fight, remember this: go all out, pick the strongest to kill, and ideally, leave me a whole corpse." Hearing
Long Chen say this, the Dragon Blood warriors all laughed, fully understanding what Long Chen meant.
Just as Long Chen was about to set off, several figures suddenly appeared.
