Chapter 6272 - Zhi Zhi Acknowledges Its Master

“Zhi Zhi...” As Long Chen was speeding along, Zhi Zhi peeked out from his shoulder, making chirping sounds. “Really?” Hearing Zhi Zhi's cries, Long Chen was startled. Zhi Zhi told Long Chen that it sensed a familiar aura here, and those so-called extraterrestrial experts might come from the same place as it. Devouring these extraterrestrial experts would make it stronger, and it also told Long Chen that its inherited power was awakening, requiring more corpses of extraterrestrial experts. However, Zhi Zhi had high requirements for these corpses, needing only those with pure and powerful bloodlines. Previously, after devouring the Twelve-Winged Heavenly Demon summoned by Fan Ji, Zhi Zhi awakened a mysterious power, enabling it to manifest in the external world without relying on Long Chen's power. When its entity manifests externally, its body in the chaotic space becomes ethereal, alternating between reality and illusion, with their powers interchanging. As long as the body within the chaotic space remains unharmed, it will be immortal. Upon learning this, Long Chen was shocked. Such a capability should only be possessed by spirit entities like Lei Ling’er and Huo Ling’er. Moreover, this was just the beginning of Zhi Zhi's awakening, and its first ability was already so heaven-defying, which was quite terrifying. “Zhi Zhi...” At this moment, Zhi Zhi quietly crawled out of Long Chen's collar, slowly climbing towards his forehead. Suddenly, Long Chen felt a sharp pain in his forehead, as Zhi Zhi's stinger pierced it, drawing blood. Long Chen was taken aback, not knowing what this little creature was doing. At that moment, Zhi Zhi absorbed Long Chen's essence blood. Once Zhi Zhi absorbed Long Chen's essence blood, he instantly felt a connection of flesh and soul with Zhi Zhi. Long Chen was stunned. Zhi Zhi had voluntarily acknowledged him as its master, and this little creature had even learned such a thing. “Zhi Zhi, you...” “Zhi Zhi...” Zhi Zhi chirped softly, telling Long Chen that only by acknowledging a master could it fully integrate with Long Chen and unleash its power to the fullest. Previously, letting Long Biluo escape had always bothered it. It told Long Chen that if it had completed the acknowledgment of a master earlier, that woman would not have escaped. Long Chen couldn't help but find it amusing. This little creature was quite petty. Even though Long Biluo was severely injured by it, it still held a grudge against her. At the same time, Zhi Zhi informed Long Chen that its memory was awakening, and it vaguely felt that its arrival here might not be a good thing. It feared that one day it might harm Long Chen, so by acknowledging him as its master directly, it could never harm Long Chen. Long Chen was both shocked and moved. Zhi Zhi's origins were astonishing, perhaps only known by the senior of Qiankun Cauldron, but it always remained silent. Now, hearing Zhi Zhi's words, it seemed likely that Zhi Zhi feared it might be like the extraterrestrial demons, potentially harming Long Chen in the future. Long Chen gently stroked Zhi Zhi's tentacles, his heart filled with emotion. If Zhi Zhi truly came from outside this world, being one of the culprits of destruction, then how could it recognize him as its master? “Buzz” Suddenly, Long Chen's palm trembled, and a three-foot-long stinger appeared, as if it were part of Long Chen's bones, exuding a sharp aura that even shocked Long Chen himself. “Whirr, whirr, whirr...” Suddenly, spikes emerged from Long Chen's shoulders and elbows, with black lightning entwining the black spikes. “Whirr, whirr, whirr...” Suddenly, a row of spikes appeared on Long Chen's back, making him look like a saber-toothed dragon. “Whirr, whirr, whirr...” The spikes continuously sprouted from Long Chen's body, as Zhi Zhi gradually adapted to Long Chen's body, allowing it to better assist Long Chen in battle. After acknowledging a master, Zhi Zhi could both assist Long Chen in attacks and help him absorb damage. “Another trump card!” Long Chen felt a bit excited. Most importantly, Zhi Zhi was still in its infancy, with immeasurable potential in the future. With it around, Long Chen's fate was further fortified. “It seems we need to kill more powerful extraterrestrial experts to make Zhi Zhi stronger. Now that Xie Yue is devouring the power of the Eight Desolations Demon Subduing Spear, nurturing Zhi Zhi is the primary goal.” In the crisis-ridden Heavenly Domain Battlefield, filled with endless prodigies, Long Chen dared not be careless. Zhi Zhi was still adapting to Long Chen's body, while Long Chen roamed aimlessly. He wasn't interested in treasure hunting himself, as it was too inefficient. He was capturing traces of battle and spatial fluctuations. Instead of treasure hunting himself, it was more straightforward to kill and seize treasures, defeating extraterrestrial experts while also acquiring treasures without delay. “Hmm?” While speeding along, Long Chen suddenly detected a trace of spatial fluctuation. “It's the aura of a battle between extraterrestrial experts and Nine Heavens experts.” Long Chen was delighted and, after a slight perception, immediately sped towards the left-front direction. …… “Boom” A dozen experts, entwined with lightning, were frantically fleeing, pursued madly by dozens of extraterrestrial experts. Suddenly, the void trembled, and a figure appeared above, a tall man resembling an iron tower. He opened his large hand, forming a giant hand of demonic flames, blocking the path of those dozen experts. Those experts had to stop, their auras fierce and cold, their gazes sharp as blades, clearly true experts. Leading them was a silver-haired woman, petite and beautiful, with lightning runes swirling in her eyes and over two hundred Emperor Flames entwined around her. These people were demon clan experts from the Nine Heavens world. They had fought their way through, with the woman singlehandedly holding off three equal-level experts, fleeing with her kin for three days and nights. However, the enemies clung to them like sticky plaster, constantly calling for reinforcements. After continuous flight and battle, they were exhausted, and the blocking expert was a terrifying existence with three hundred Emperor Flames, plunging the woman into despair. “Little girls from the Nine Heavens world, I told you, you can't escape. As long as you let our brothers have some fun, we'll guarantee to leave you a whole corpse.” One of the pursuing extraterrestrial experts spoke sinisterly. The speaker, with half his head missing, bore a grim expression, as his half-head was blown off by the woman. “Princess, don't worry about us. Use your secret arts to escape and avenge us in the future. We'll self-detonate to buy you time,” one of the hundred-flame divine seedlings beside the woman said through gritted teeth. “Buzz, buzz, buzz...” At this moment, other experts also ignited their Emperor Flames, their faces filled with tragic determination and unyielding spirit. The silver-haired woman had tears in her eyes, gritting her teeth, “You extraterrestrial demons, I curse you to encounter Lord Long Chen soon!” “Long Chen, what is that?” The expert with three hundred Emperor Flames sneered, opening his large hand as strange patterns emerged: “Trying to escape? Dream on.” “Buzz” Suddenly, the void collapsed, and the Nine Heavens experts were horrified to find themselves imprisoned, unable to even mobilize their Emperor Flame power. “How could this be?” The silver-haired woman was terrified. “Kill them, leave that woman alive,” shouted the half-headed expert. However, just as they prepared to strike, a black-clad man appeared before the expert with three hundred Emperor Flames like a phantom, slowly extending his hand and slapping: “Even the name of Lord Long San isn't something you can utter?”
