Chapter 6357 - Di Mengyao's Domain

Long Chen was surrounded by starlight as he continued to open his seventh gate. Now that the seventh gate was half-open, he had familiarized himself with the process. There was no longer any danger, and it was just a matter of time before it was fully opened. Regarding the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, Long Chen was essentially crossing the river by feeling the stones, constantly changing and adjusting his cultivation path. However, now his thoughts on opening the eight gates were exceptionally clear: using the Dragon Blood Emperor Flame as the foundation, guided by the Supreme Bone, until all eight gates were fully opened. The power of the stars was the main force, supported by the power of the three bloods, with the Supreme Bone reconciling in between. Long Chen's path forward became increasingly clear. Over seven hundred strands of Emperor Flame had already qualified him to open the seventh gate. Once he gathered eight hundred strands of Emperor Flame, he might be able to open the eighth gate. Even if eight hundred strands weren't enough, then nine hundred. In any case, whether it was killing traitors of the dragon clan or the outer realm dragons, he could absorb their Emperor Flames. If he still fell behind using this cheat-like cultivation method, then Long Chen would truly be useless. However, as the Divine Winged Wyvern continued to speed forward, the group encountered many astonishing presences along the way, many of whom possessed nine hundred strands of Emperor Flame. Clearly, as time passed, more and more people gained opportunities, and their strength advanced by leaps and bounds. Upon entering the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, one had to quickly become stronger, or risk being devoured by others. Here, no matter how strong one was, everyone was in danger and dared not relax for a moment. Because in the cruel trial ground of the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, everyone started as sheep; some were stronger sheep, and some were weaker sheep. But once someone reached the pinnacle of three nines returning to one and stepped into the Emperor Realm, it was as if a tiger had appeared among the sheep, and all sheep could become its prey. Therefore, everyone was desperately seeking their own opportunities and inheritances, while those opportunities on the battlefield eagerly awaited the arrival of their inheritors, longing to jump into their arms. Mu Qingyun was the best example. She seemingly did not need to put in much effort, as if she were the long-awaited inheritor of the Sword God Order, longed for like the stars and moon, finally arriving. If it weren't for the Ling Tian Lineage's intervention, Mu Qingyun might have already completely mastered the terrifying Sword Servant. The entire team flew rapidly, with Qingyi and others extremely nervous due to the numerous terrifying experts encountered along the way. Many experts directly scanned them with divine sense, each scan making them tense and ready for battle at any moment. However, Xue Tu was extremely domineering, directly challenging those who scanned them to battle. Xue Tu was so eager to fight because he had discovered an astonishing secret. While battling the Ling Tian Lineage experts, he used the Divine Dragon Blood Ignition Technique. Over the past few days, his Emperor Flames had unknowingly increased by more than ten strands. Although not very bright, he realized this must be due to using the Divine Dragon Blood Ignition Technique in battle. This technique could actually stimulate his potential and aid his cultivation. At this moment, he wished someone would come out and fight him. However, Long Chen had said that reaching the Heavenly Ridge was the primary goal, so he dared not act on his own for fear of displeasing Long Chen, as he still wanted to follow this leader. But if someone provoked him first, then it would be a different matter. Unfortunately for Xue Tu, despite encountering many experts along the way, and some even eager to try, no one actually made a move, leaving Xue Tu frustrated and gritting his teeth. As time passed, more and more dragon clan experts who had been in seclusion awakened. Di Mengyao, worthy of being the dragon clan's top cultivation talent, finally took that step, entering the ranks of those with nine hundred and ninety-seven strands of Emperor Flame. Possessing nine hundred and ninety-seven strands, her aura was far stronger than before, the vast dragon might enough to crush ordinary experts with nine hundred strands. Although she lacked combat experience, the terrifying Emperor Might covered that deficiency. Experts with less than nine hundred and ninety-six strands would likely be unable to exert even half their power within her domain. Feeling Di Mengyao's aura, everyone was both shocked and delighted, their morale greatly boosted, giving them more confidence in their journey to the Heavenly Ridge. 'Whoosh!' The large figure enveloped by stars suddenly disappeared as Mu Qingyun slowly opened her eyes, her face full of joy. She could finally put away this supreme treasure. Although she could not yet control the Sword Servant, just having it in her possession provided a sense of security. 'Well done!' At this moment, Long Chen also opened his eyes, smiling at Mu Qingyun. Being able to communicate with the Sword Servant so quickly showed Mu Qingyun's strength was indeed formidable, no wonder she gained the favor of the Sword God Order. 'This is for you!' As he spoke, Long Chen waved his hand, and thirty-six sharp swords appeared before Mu Qingyun. These were the swords Senior Brother Fan used to form a sword formation, acquired as divine weapons on the Heavenly Domain Battlefield. However, having just obtained them without fully refining them, the treasures had barely warmed in his hands before Long Chen confiscated them. 'Third Brother, this...' Mu Qingyun was stunned. These thirty-six divine swords were extremely terrifying divine weapons, and she hesitated to accept them. 'Take them. These thirty-six flying swords should have just formed and were used prematurely. They haven't fully matured yet and need to be nurtured with blood and sword intent. Once they fully mature, they'll become true Divine Emperor Artifacts, and top-tier ones at that. Don't think about leaving them for Zifeng; he never uses sword techniques. Besides, weapons of this caliber would not suit him!' Long Chen said with a smile. Hearing this, Mu Qingyun smiled. Indeed, although these flying swords were strong, they did not suit Yue Zifeng. 'Thank you, Third Brother!' Mu Qingyun smiled sweetly. As a sword cultivator, it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted by such powerful flying swords. Moreover, these swords hadn't fully matured yet; nurturing them with blood souls would make them her most loyal companions. 'No need to be polite with Third Brother. Refine them, and from now on, you'll be Third Brother's bodyguard. If anyone dares to mess with Third Brother, stab them in the butt with your sword,' Long Chen joked. Long Chen's words brought laughter to the group, with the dragon clan experts marveling at how Long Chen could give away supreme treasures without blinking. It's no wonder so many people were willing to follow him loyally; such boldness and carefree spirit were rare in this world. 'Boss, I'm also your bodyguard,' Xue Tu chimed in, patting his chest to express loyalty. 'Forget it. Once you go berserk, you don't even know who you are. Expecting you to protect me is like asking for trouble,' Long Chen retorted. Long Chen's words drew laughter from everyone, leaving Xue Tu with an embarrassed expression, unable to refute him. 'Buzz' Suddenly, the scenery ahead changed, with towering mountains resembling a heavenly curtain blocking their path, followed by a heart-palpitating aura rushing towards them. 'That must be the Heavenly Ridge!' Seeing the mountain range stretching across the sky, everyone's hearts tightened, as they had finally arrived.
