Chapter 6309 - A New Approach

"Zhi Zhi..." Just as Long Chen was about to move, a sound suddenly came from the chaotic space. Long Chen slapped his forehead: "Mo Nian, release that red-haired guy, I have something to ask him." "Oh no, I completely forgot about this!" Mo Nian hurriedly opened the coffin. As a result, the red-haired man was already lifeless. Mo Nian awkwardly explained, "This coffin, I dug it up from an ancient tomb. It's a trap mechanism. I almost died in it back then. After obtaining it, I've been using it as a weapon. This coffin has a killing array carved inside. I thought with his strength, he could hold on for a while." It's worth noting that this red-haired man had already suffered a great loss of power after continuously summoning demonic spirits, seizing bodies, and self-destructing. By the time he escaped, he barely had any strength left. After being put into the coffin, he became both shocked and furious, fiercely resisting, which led to the relapse of his old injuries. Mingyu's attack wasn't ordinary, and with internal injuries and external threats, the guy was quickly killed. Long Chen was speechless. This red-haired guy died in a rather suffocating way, but it didn't matter. Even if no information could be extracted, the corpse was still valuable for Zhi Zhi. Previously, Zhi Zhi had devoured a lot of blood souls from demonic spirits, but hadn't had time to digest them. Later, to help Long Chen trap the three red-haired men, it used its source power significantly, consuming a lot. Now that the battle was over, it needed to rest and absorb these energies. It had been eyeing the red-haired man's soul, as it was exactly what it desired. Seeing Long Chen and Mo Nian ignoring the red-haired man, it reminded Long Chen. Long Chen tossed the red-haired man into the chaotic space for Zhi Zhi to devour. Zhi Zhi was becoming increasingly powerful, now an indispensable combat force for Long Chen. After devouring the red-haired man and the previously unabsorbed blood souls, Zhi Zhi had accumulated a large amount of energy and needed to sleep for a while to fully refine them. "Let's go. I've already pinpointed the location on the map. I'll fly all the way and protect you. You can recover on the way!" Mo Nian repeatedly checked the map, finally confirming the location, took out a coffin board, and jumped onto it. Long Chen looked at the stone slab engraved with countless runes, feeling speechless. Although he had no taboos about coffins, this mode of transportation was somewhat awkward. "Don't underestimate this coffin board. The runes on it are extremely powerful, capable of both attack and defense, comparable to a Divine Emperor Artifact. Most importantly, it was... the boudoir of a female emperor!" Mo Nian's eyebrows twitched as he spoke. Long Chen felt a chill, wondering if this guy had gone a bit crazy from staying underground for too long. Long Chen reluctantly jumped onto the coffin board, sitting cross-legged on it, and muttered, "Have you been single for so long that even skeletons look charming to you?" "Seeing beauties as skeletons makes the heart desireless; seeing skeletons as beauties makes the heart fearless. This is a state of mind, young man, you have much to learn!" Mo Nian replied with a cheeky grin. "Buzz" The runes on the coffin board lit up, instantly enlarging, breaking through the void, and speeding away with the two of them. The coffin board emitted a powerful imperial might, indeed an extraordinary item. Its flight was exceptionally stable, with space fluctuations completely isolated. Long Chen couldn't be bothered to bicker with Mo Nian or care about where this guy was taking him, and he began to heal himself. "You've really suffered." Looking at his scarred Supreme Bone, Long Chen couldn't help but smile wryly. The Supreme Bone had saved his life last time when engraving the Stellar Destruction Spear. Now, it saved him once again but was damaged further. However, Long Chen couldn't pay attention to it now. In his battle with Ao Gu, Long Chen's body and soul were severely injured. He needed to recover himself first before helping the Supreme Bone. Ao Gu's strength was astonishing, but Long Chen ultimately underestimated him. Initially, Long Chen sensed that Ao Gu could exert some pressure but didn't anticipate that he posed a lethal threat. Especially after summoning the Star Battle Armor, its terrifying defense and amplification of star power caught Long Chen off guard. If not for accidentally activating the Supreme Bone, Long Chen would have been the one defeated today. However, this battle also brought Long Chen great gains. The appearance of the Star Battle Armor opened a new door, revealing a whole new world. "My physical body's improvement is still too slow. I can't open the Seventh Gate yet. Otherwise, even without the Supreme Bone, I should be able to contend with the Star Battle Armor." Long Chen sighed. Unfortunately, that giant senior only passed down the general principles of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, without any other cultivation methods. Long Chen had to comprehend it himself. "It's a pity I don't have Emperor Flame. With it, perhaps I could open the Seventh Gate." Long Chen pondered as he healed. Clearly, his current progress was somewhat slow. Now, experts with eight hundred Emperor Flames had appeared. Who knew if someone with nine hundred would arise in the future? When someone possesses nine hundred and ninety-nine Emperor Flames, achieving true Emperor Qi by combining three sets of nine, they could directly transcend the Divine Emperor and become an Emperor Lord. That would spell disaster. Not to mention terrifying beings like Ao Gu, even formidable ones like the red-haired man, if they advanced to Emperor Lord, Long Chen might not even have a chance to escape. Long Chen suddenly thought of Long Biluo. Though he found her annoying, her talent was exceptional. If she encountered an opportunity and received an inheritance, she might ascend rapidly. This realization filled Long Chen with a sense of urgency. The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, though powerful, had a slow cultivation speed. Especially at this critical moment, its advantage wasn't as significant. Long Chen believed that the orthodox Nine Star successor must have a proper cultivation method. Initially, Long Chen was tempted to leave some survivors to force them to hand over the cultivation method. However, he quickly dismissed that idea. His pride wouldn't allow it, and there must be a reason why the giant Divine Emperor-level powerhouse didn't pass on the method. "There's no way to accelerate the Nine Star advancement for now. I need to find a way to focus on the Purple Blood, Supreme Blood, and Dragon Blood. After all, uniting the three bloodlines, nurturing the Supreme Bone, any one of them can condense Emperor Flame." In the past, Long Chen had considered condensing Emperor Flame, but he couldn't find the method despite consulting all ancient texts and seeking advice from seniors at Emperor Mountain. Long Chen had researched that Emperor Flame is related to the legendary fortune, which in turn is connected to the aura of the Great Dao. However, since ancient times, countless scriptures have existed on the Great Dao, but no one has ever clearly defined it. Cultivating the Dao, in the end, leaves one wondering if they are following the true or false Dao. Long Chen's mind was a bit chaotic now. The general principles of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art require careful comprehension. The power of the Star Battle Armor was astonishing, and Long Chen was eager to cultivate it. With his talent and wisdom, he believed it wouldn't be difficult for him. However, he needed time, and he didn't have much of it. He had to rapidly improve in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, if someone ascended to Emperor Lord, he would be completely passive. "Boom" A day and a night passed. Just as Long Chen's injuries had recovered about seventy to eighty percent, and he was preparing to use his soul power to nourish the Supreme Bone, a loud noise came from afar, followed by the roar of a dragon. Long Chen's heart trembled: "Let's go and see!"
