Chapter 5206 Initial Mastery of the Eight Star Battle Armor
Yu Qingxuan knew that Long Chen was about to enter the Endless Desolation and that he was taking a trip to the Dragon Domain right before heading into its depths. However, she felt something within the statue was calling to her. She wasn’t foolish; she knew that Long Chen was hiding something from her.
Although she knew that Long Chen had to have his reasons for not telling her and that he sincerely loved her, she could not resist this instinct, so she decided to stay. Reluctant to part with Long Chen, she had asked Bai Shishi to look after him. At the time, Bai Shishi had thought that Yu Qingxuan was simply angry, but now she accepted this mission gladly.
BOOM!
Another explosive sound rang out, and Bai Shishi cried out in disappointment. Yue Zifeng’s completed sword manifestation had exploded.
“Was it a failure?” Bai Shishi sighed, thinking that it was a large blow to Yue Zifeng.
“No, that is his initial blueprint. This fellow really is a monster!” exclaimed Long Chen.
Long Chen saw the sword fragments slowly merge into Yue Zifeng’s body. At first, he thought Yue Zifeng was planning to compress the Heavenly Fate Disk into his weapon and fully subdue it for his own use.
However, Yue Zifeng crushed his Heavenly Fate Disk even after compressing it into a weapon, merging with it and turning the power of the heavens into a part of himself. He was displaying an absolute level of control over it.
Long Chen couldn’t help but think that it was fortunate that this person was his brother. If Yue Zifeng were an enemy, that would be terrifying.
As more and more people awakened their manifestations, Bai Shishi took a moment to calm down from her excitement and sat down to collect herself, solidifying her increased power.
Long Chen didn’t slack off either. As others awakened their manifestations, he started studying the eighth volume of the Nirvana Scripture. Although he had already learned it, at that time, he was in a state of rage. Unable to remember it clearly, Long Chen needed to reinforce his foundation.
One rune after another appeared in his mind, but he didn’t dare to chant them because doing so would draw all the flame energy of heaven and earth, affecting everyone’s comprehension.
At this moment, Long Chen was calm as he examined those runes closely. He chanted them in his mind, but after only a few syllables, he felt his blood boiling and his killing intent rising. He immediately stopped.
“My eighth volume of the Nirvana Scripture is filled with destructive power. I can’t use it unless I plan on destroying everything around me. Based on what I saw, if I completely chant this volume, Huo Linger’s flame energy and mine will be completely extracted. Damn, is this not a suicidal technique?” wondered Long Chen.
Long Chen didn’t dare to even chant it in his mind. After looking at the complete scripture, he could tell that based on the effect of the first few runes, completely chanting the scripture would use up every bit of his energy.
Most frightening of all, under this destructive will, the flame essence of heaven and earth instantly became his. Anywhere his voice reached, the flame essence of heaven and earth would be drawn toward him.
The power of heaven and earth would multiply his and Huo Linger’s energy by a thousandfold. If Long Chen detonated it, the unleashed power would be hard to imagine.
“This is no good. I should see if I can split it into multiple parts. I can’t really kill myself just to unleash it,” muttered Long Chen silently. The eighth volume was not something to be played with.
Long Chen tested out various combinations. Under the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree’s light, he became extremely efficient. He only failed ten times before managing to find the crux of the first part. This part was one third of the whole volume, and he estimated that it was within the range that he could tolerate.
As he continued his study, he found the second node, perfectly positioned two-thirds through the scripture.
However, he estimated that chanting both parts together would produce power beyond his control, potentially costing him his life. Even if he survived, he would end up heavily injuring himself.
“The second part will be my trump card. As for the complete scripture... it’s no good. Even if I had ten lives, I wouldn’t survive it,” said Long Chen.
For now, Long Chen abandoned the idea of using the complete scripture. This terrifying destructive power would kill him along with everything else.
After Long Chen was done with the Nirvana Scripture, he turned his attention to the Eight Star Battle Armor. He could now summon it, but there were still many flaws.
When the eight stars linked into the star ring, they affected each other and created friction, causing the astral energy to flow unevenly.
Most importantly, these flaws didn’t just reduce the Eight Star Battle Armor’s power—they also placed a heavy burden on his body. He would injure himself like this.
With the support of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree, Long Chen quickly identified the source of the problem: the eighth star.
The Nirvanic Charge Star was condensed using Nirvanic Charge Pills combined with the power of Heavenly Flames and heavenly lightning. Although this flame and lightning energy passed through the entire star ring when it formed, the other seven stars did not have an affinity for these energies. This caused friction when the Nirvanic Charge Star’s energy reached them.
After pinpointing the issue, everything became simple. Long Chen started to draw lightning and flame energy into the other stars, forming a seed for them. That way, they possessed identical energies and would not reject each other.
Before long, Long Chen’s eight stars were perfectly connected in a loop, and their astral energy flowed smoothly. His Eight Star Battle Armor was now flawless.
BOOM!
Just as Long Chen was excited by his success, a heaven-shaking explosion jolted him from his meditative state. He looked up to see countless enormous figures charging toward the academy. The High Firmament Academy’s barrier barely materialized before it was pierced by a massive dragon claw.
Emperor might crashed down, making the entire world feel like it was on the verge of bursting. In an instant, the aura of death enveloped the academy.
“Enemy attack!” shouted someone.
The entire first academy was thrown into chaos as terrified cries rang out.
BOOM!
The dragon claw attacked again, covering the entire academy with its intense might.
“Long Chen, you bastard! Since you dared to slaughter the heavenly geniuses of the Netherdragon race, I’ll slaughter your entire academy!”
In response to the shout, Long Chen exclaimed, “Dragonblood Legion, prepare for battle!”
Seeing the dragon claw coming down with its immense Emperor might, Long Chen shot into the sky like a bolt of lightning. He had no time to summon the Eight Star Battle Armor. Dragon scales covered his entire body, and a cross appeared on his palm as he faced the dragon claw head-on.
