Chapter 6187 - Fusion into One

Long Chen pondered for a moment. Now was indeed the best time to refine the Blood Moon Rune. On one hand, staying here meant that if any situation arose with the Primordial Demons, he could still respond. On the other hand, the appearance of Fan Ji had put immense pressure on Long Chen. Who would have thought that amidst the Imperial Seedlings, there existed a Divine Seedling? A Divine Seedling was akin to cheating. As long as one had enough talent and resources, they could directly leap over the God Emperor stage and step into the rank of an Empyrean, which was simply outrageous. If Fan Ji truly ascended to the Empyrean rank while Long Chen was still at the Human Emperor stage, or even at the God Emperor stage, he would be far outmatched. "Hehe, Long Chen, do you know, I'm increasingly feeling that our meeting was destined by fate," Dragonbone Evilmoon chuckled. "Damn it, why does that sentence make my skin crawl? Am I your destined one?" Long Chen shivered in disgust. "Nonsense, my Blood Moon form requires endless soul power, and your soul power has been blank for so many years. Isn't that just waiting for me?" Dragonbone Evilmoon said excitedly. "Soul power?" Long Chen was taken aback. His soul power was immensely strong and vast, yet since embarking on his cultivation path, he seemed never to have truly harnessed its power. Apart from alchemy, Long Chen rarely used it, and the soul power consumed in alchemy was negligible to him. Long Chen possessed immense soul power, which had been wasted for years. As his cultivation level grew, his soul power became increasingly terrifying, yet it remained unused. Although Long Chen had considered cultivating soul techniques, he simply lacked the energy. The power of the three bloodlines and the star power had already exhausted him, and he felt it was still insufficient. "Evilmoon, let me make it clear, I don't have the energy to..." Long Chen began. "You won't need to. According to my method, once you refine the Blood Moon Divine Rune, your soul and mine will truly merge. My power will be your power, and your power will be mine, hahaha!" Dragonbone Evilmoon laughed. Hearing Dragonbone Evilmoon's words, the Qiankun Cauldron trembled slightly, as if it wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent. "Soul merge?" Long Chen was shocked. "It's similar to your human race's equal soul contract, understand now?" Dragonbone Evilmoon explained. At that moment, Long Chen fell silent. "What? You don't want to?" Dragonbone Evilmoon was taken aback. Long Chen took a deep breath and said, "We cannot sign an equal contract. My will must be above yours." "What?" "Boom..." Dragonbone Evilmoon suddenly erupted in anger, endless petals swirling in the void, transforming into a fierce and vicious giant dragon. It roared, "You don't trust me? You want to sign a master-servant contract with me?" Dragonbone Evilmoon was utterly enraged, its violent aura flowing through the world, causing everything to tremble madly. Since Long Chen met it, he had never seen it so furious. Long Chen said nothing, clenching his fists tightly, his nails piercing his flesh, causing blood to flow. "It must be that damned old cauldron, it's instigating us. Old cauldron, come out, I want to chop you to pieces," Dragonbone Evilmoon roared, its massive body twisting and turning in the heavens, its killing intent soaring. Long Chen shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the senior. Evilmoon, if you disagree... you can leave." "You..." Dragonbone Evilmoon trembled with rage, unable to believe what it was hearing. It gritted its teeth and said, "Give me a reason." Long Chen fell silent again. "Are you mute? Tell me, why?" Dragonbone Evilmoon roared. Long Chen clenched his fists, trembling all over, but remained silent. "Speak to me!" The dragon transformed from Dragonbone Evilmoon instantly coiled around Long Chen, surging with killing intent, its enormous eyes fixed on Long Chen. Between Dragonbone Evilmoon and Long Chen, there was no soul contract; they were independent entities. If Dragonbone Evilmoon wanted to kill Long Chen, he had no control over it. Precisely because of this, Dragonbone Evilmoon's trust in Long Chen reached an indescribable level. However, today, Long Chen refused to sign an equal soul contract with Dragonbone Evilmoon, causing it to nearly go insane. Long Chen trembled, finally unable to suppress a loud roar: "Because I don't want the scene on Tianwu Continent to reoccur." Upon hearing Long Chen's roar, Dragonbone Evilmoon was stunned, and the murderous intent vanished instantly. "In that battle, you sacrificed yourself to save me. You became a hero, but what about me? Do you know the kind of pain I've endured day and night since then? Every time I close my eyes, I see the scene of you shattering. You heartless guy, do you know how I survived those years?" Long Chen shouted, his voice choking. Dragonbone Evilmoon was his closest combat partner, and after the battle on Tianwu Continent, he struggled to emerge from the shadow for a long time. Although in the Immortal World, Long Chen tried to be cheerful and optimistic because the journey ahead had to continue. But the days of self-deception were hard to bear. Long Chen was a strong person, bearing all the pain in silence, never confiding in anyone. But today, Long Chen finally erupted. His refusal to sign the equal contract was not due to disbelief in Dragonbone Evilmoon, which was the companion he could trust his life with without hesitation. However, the future was fraught with endless dangers, and no one knew what terrifying enemies they might encounter. He absolutely could not allow the scene on Tianwu Continent to happen again. If it were an equal contract, when danger arose, Dragonbone Evilmoon might still sacrifice itself to protect Long Chen. If Long Chen were the leader, Dragonbone Evilmoon couldn't defy his will. "If such danger comes again, let's die together. Becoming a hero alone and leaving all the pain to others, is that truly great?" Long Chen shouted. This time, Dragonbone Evilmoon fell silent. It hadn't realized that the battle had caused such a significant impact on Long Chen. At the same time, it understood that after so many years together, it had never truly understood Long Chen. Long Chen wasn't as strong as it imagined; in some aspects, he was so fragile. "Sigh" Endless petals disappeared, reappearing in Long Chen's sea of consciousness. "Let's begin." Dragonbone Evilmoon said coldly. "Are you sure?" Long Chen took a deep breath. "Damn it, hurry up. A grown man crying is disgusting. I, Evilmoon, won't be like someone, whining," Dragonbone Evilmoon said irritably. "Buzz" As Dragonbone Evilmoon's words fell, Long Chen's sea of consciousness surged, a giant blood-colored moon slowly rising, turning the entire sea of consciousness into a sea of blood. The Qiankun Cauldron quietly watched the scene, secretly wiping sweat from its brow: "The fate of the Nine Heavens may be determined at this moment. Evilmoon still doesn't know who it is. Could there be some karma guiding this in the dark?"
