Chapter 6275 - Direct Charge

“Long Chen, let's not go. With our strength, we can't help you at all, and we might even become a burden to you.” Seeing Long Chen ready to get up, Lei Yuner showed a conflicted expression and finally spoke. She couldn't help but be tempted by the opportunity. Her determination to become stronger was more intense than anyone else's, especially since she still had a deep-seated vendetta to settle. However, she couldn't be so selfish as to add trouble for Long Chen. Facing powerhouses with three hundred Emperor Flames was already beyond her capability. If she went, she might ruin Long Chen's major undertaking. Long Chen looked at Lei Yuner with a smile, ruffling her silver hair with his large hand, and said, “Opportunities don't come by waiting, nor by relying on others' charity. You have to fight for them yourself. That guy mentioned there's a lightning-type creature, a God Emperor-level existence. If you can inherit its legacy, it would be enough for you to soar to the heavens.” “But...” Feeling Long Chen's affectionate gesture, Lei Yuner was touched, yet she still hesitated. “Let's go, opportunities wait for no one!” As he spoke, Long Chen, without letting Lei Yuner refuse, took her small hand and walked towards the direction that person had indicated. Long Chen had no ulterior motives towards Lei Yuner. He had even exchanged thunder divine abilities with her before, so he had benefited to some extent. No matter how one looked at it, the two could be considered friends. Moreover, this treasure trove was discovered by Lei Yuner, and she almost lost her life. It would be rather unethical if Long Chen were to monopolize it. In Long Chen's eyes, Lei Yuner was still a child, and besides, he generally had a good impression of the beast clan because they rarely deceived others. Held by Long Chen's large hand, Lei Yuner's eyes reddened slightly, filled with gratitude. Other powerhouses of the Thunder Falcon clan also followed, racing for an entire day before a forest finally appeared ahead. That forest had ancient trees towering to the heavens, blocking out the sun. Even before getting close, it felt as if the entire world's light was rapidly dimming, as if they were absorbing the brightness from heaven and earth. “There are many unknown precious herbs in that dense forest. We were attracted by the herbs, but shortly after entering, we were discovered and couldn't venture further.” As she spoke, Lei Yuner spread her jade hand, revealing over a dozen precious herbs: “Keep these herbs. They're of no use to me. No one in the Thunder Falcon clan knows how to refine them.” Long Chen looked at these herbs, slightly surprised. Among them were two extremely precious ones that had disappeared from the Nine Heavens world. Long Chen picked through them, keeping seven herbs. Lei Yuner was taken aback: “You should keep them all; I don't need these.” Long Chen shook his head and said, “The remaining ones aren't precious herbs, just ordinary grass.” “Ah?” Lei Yuner was immediately embarrassed. She looked at these 'precious herbs,' her face slightly red: “I don't know how to identify precious herbs, but I felt their spiritual energy was strong, so I picked them.” “Not all spiritual herbs can be used as medicine. Some have abundant spiritual energy, but their primal force is too mixed, mutually attracting and repelling, with essence and dross coexisting. The dross is extremely difficult to remove, and even if it is removed, the essence left is minimal, making the effort not worthwhile. However, being able to pick so many spiritual herbs based on intuition is already quite impressive.” Long Chen explained. Long Chen's praise at the end eased Lei Yuner's embarrassment considerably. Lei Yuner said, “According to that person, these people have been protecting this place all along. Shouldn't we sneak in quietly to assess the situation before making a decision?” According to Lei Yuner's suggestion, they should first understand the enemy's deployment and the situation inside the land where four great powerhouses fell, and then devise a battle plan. Of course, this was the most prudent and normal approach. However, Long Chen didn't have the time to waste. After a brief sensing, he led the group straight into the dense forest. Once inside, Long Chen immediately sensed the locations of many precious herbs and had Huo Linger summon avatars to pick them. Huo Linger, having refined countless pills, had a keen sense for precious herbs. Although she might not be able to discern the medicinal properties of every herb, no precious herb could escape her eyes. Long Chen and Lei Yuner flew forward without scruples, making Lei Yuner and the others tense up and prepare for battle. “I forgot something important earlier.” Suddenly, Lei Yuner said with a face full of regret. “What?” “We should have asked that person about the top powerhouses among those outsiders, which clans they come from, and how many Emperor Flames they've condensed...” Lei Yuner said. Other powerhouses of the clan also felt annoyed. Such important information had been forgotten. Knowing the enemy and yourself is always beneficial. Long Chen shook his head, “There's no need for that. In the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, just charge forward boldly. If you encounter someone weaker, kill them to your heart's content. If they're stronger, run away. As for those top powerhouses, the gap is so vast that you can't escape even if you try. Knowing or not knowing makes no difference, and it only makes you cautious and hesitant, missing various opportunities.” Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod secretly. A strong person indeed stood on a higher ground and saw things more clearly. “Damn Nine Heavens ants, die!” At this moment, a cold shout came from the depths of the forest, and a cold arrow pierced the void, reaching Long Chen in an instant. Long Chen glanced at the arrow, which stopped mid-air. The void trembled, and the arrow turned around on the spot, disappearing in an instant. “Ah...” A scream came from the depths of the forest. Judging by the voice, it was the person who had spoken earlier. After the scream, there was no more sound, leaving it uncertain whether he was dead or alive. Lei Yuner felt her scalp tingle. That arrow's pressure was astonishing, likely a full-force strike from a powerhouse of her level. However, Long Chen didn't make any visible movements. She didn't even know what method Long Chen used to make the arrow turn back and take out its owner. In fact, during this time, Long Chen had been using mental power to control the myriad petals of the Dragonbone Evilmoon, gaining significant insights into the use of spiritual force. When the arrow entered his spiritual domain, the power of the domain gathered like an invisible giant hand, grabbing it. Under the control of his soul force, it instantly became Long Chen's soul weapon, easily killing the hidden man. If it had been a powerhouse with five hundred Emperor Flames shooting the arrow, Long Chen wouldn't have dared to be so careless. But this person wasn't at that level, and to shoot the cold arrow, he hadn't even ignited his Emperor Flames. “Boom...” After Long Chen killed the one who shot the cold arrow, countless auras rose around them. They found themselves already surrounded, and among the surrounding powerhouses were several with three hundred Emperor Flames. “Zhi Zhi!” Long Chen shouted. “Boom!” Suddenly, the void behind Long Chen exploded, and dozens of vine-like tendrils shot out, piercing into the depths of the forest.
