Dragon Blooded War God

Chapter 846: Ninth Earthly Martial Stage

“Don’t. That brat can also enter the Five Emperors’ Secret Realm. I think he has something in his palm that allows him to fuse the five energies. He might be related to the Five Emperors, so don’t be hasty for now. Everything here belongs to us. We can just wait until they dig out the treasure of the Five Emperors …”

Long Chen never would’ve guessed that he was being targeted by them.

Among the three of them, Little Cat had already lost his strength and was now in spirit form. He couldn’t exhibit his strength even with the Dream Demon’s body.

Mo Xiaolang was sensitive to fire energy, but his sensitivity towards everything else was worse than Long Chen's.

The Demons that came from the Three Royal Territories were monstrously strong. Even the Purple-Blooded Jiao was a the Category Nine Emperor-tier. The other six were roughly equal in strength.

“That Purple-Blooded Jiao… It should be at the Category Nine Emperor-tier. I wonder if it's as strong as Xiao Xi in the past once it transforms into its human form?”

Long Chen had almost zero knowledge about the Three Royal Territories.

He was only certain that there were a lot of experts at the Heavenly Martial Realm, and maybe quite a few at the Divine Martial Realm. The Swordsoul Territory was one of the three largest territories. Ling Xi, who was part of the Swordsoul Palace, likely had a lot of Divine Martial Realm experts around her.

“The Divine Martial Realm is so far away. I’m only at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage and can’t even reach the Heavenly Martial Realm yet. I have to work hard over the next five months to reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. I’m really curious as to what the Heavenly Martial Wall is.”

Long Chen heard Bai Lan mention it once before. The Heavenly Martial Wall was the gap between the Earthly Martial Realm and the Heavenly Martial Realm. Only those who surpassed it could arrive at the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Countless cultivators had been blocked by it before.

But Long Chen was confident in himself because he had the Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon. More importantly, he had the mysterious Dragon Jade Pendant given to him by his father, Long Qinglan.

The Dragon Jade Pendant had only activated a few times, but every time it did, it had given Long Chen a lot of assistance.

But Long Chen set these things aside for the moment because becoming strong one step at a time was the most important factor. He set aside the Martial God Tombstone for now too. Even though the Martial God Tombstone could only help him get as far as the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, that was more than enough.

Long Chen decided to focus on the Black Emperor Churning Heaven Seal first. Merging three different seals resulted in incredible destructive power. In order to increase said power further, he needed to add water energy into the mix as well. It would undoubtedly increase his strength further.

In the Primordial Realm, Xiaolang had returned to his demonic beast form and consumed the Red Fire Tree Fruit. Since it came from the Three Royal Territories, Xiaolang was certain that it was much more valuable than the fire treasures that he had consumed thus far. He started refining it as soon as possible, but it would take him quite some time to fully refine it since the Red Fire Tree Fruit contained enough energy to sustain the ancient tree.

It would take him a long time indeed …

Long Chen, on the other hand, took out the demonic core from the Golden-Eyed Water Beast. Long Chen had never seen the demonic core of a Category Nine King-tier demonic beast. It was roughly the size of a person’s head. The half-translucent blue orb was surrounded by blue mist and looked ethereal.

The blue mist created illusions of a blue lion shaped just like the Golden-Eyed Water Beast. Right now, it was roughly the size of a pet as it howled angrily. This was merely the imprint it had left on the demonic core.

Long Chen needed it to guide the Black Emperor Seal to cultivate the Black Emperor Churning Heaven Seal.

The energy contained in the demonic core was indeed sufficient for Long Chen to cultivate the Black Emperor Churning Heaven Seal. With the experience in cultivating the previous three seals and the assistance of his Seven Star body, Long Chen had no issues with cultivating the Black Emperor Churning Heaven Seal. Even though the energy generated from his palm was terrifying, he did it successfully by merging the demonic core into his Martial Meridian. ?

The Black Emperor Seal was the first seal that Long Chen had collected.

“The Five Emperor Seal is already very powerful. I wonder what kind of treasure the Five Emperors left behind?”

It could be said that the treasure left behind by the Five Emperors was very important.

The Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon had given Long Chen a lot of different techniques, but it had not granted him immediate strength. Long Chen still had to earn it on his own.

“My body is already quite strong, and I think I will get even more Inherited Blood essence soon. I’ve already merged with a hundredth of it… Will I get a tenth of it next time?”

Long Chen was very excited for the day when he could completely merge the Inherited Blood Essence with his body.

The full strength granted by the Inherited Blood Essence was undoubtedly much greater than what he had right now.

A few days later, he completed his cultivation of the Black Emperor Churning Heaven Seal. He suspected that the energy from merging four seals together was comparable to the strength of an intermediate Emperor-tier martial technique.

If he could merge five seals together, the explosive energy would be equivalent to an advanced Emperor-tier martial technique.

My next goal is to find something filled with rich earth energy to cultivate the final seal. Then I need to reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage and access the advanced Emperor-tier martial techniques hidden in the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

Long Chen was certain that the techniques hidden within the Three Thousand Star Clusters were at the advanced Emperor-tier, similar to the Azure Lotus Sword Manual.

He was currently holding onto both the Azure Lotus Sword and the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

But Long Chen paid no attention to the Azure Lotus Sword as he was satisfied with cultivating one of the techniques at the same rank. Since the Azure Lotus Sword was weaker than the Three Thousand Star Clusters, he completely ignored it.

The Azure Lotus Sword is useless to me. I might as well give it to Suxue or Suyan since they have helped me a lot.

After making that decision, Long Chen set it aside and started looking into how he could reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage.

Inside the Primordial Realm, Mo Xiaolang was still refining the Red Fire Tree Fruit. A profound transformation was occurring. By the time he woke up, he would likely be an Emperor-tier demonic beast.

Long Chen took out the Martial God Tombstone and placed it in the underground chamber. He looked at the black light shimmering across the surface of the Martial God Tombstone. He was already very familiar with it and focused on the drawing of the Martial God Tombstone once he took it out. In his vision, everything else disappeared except for the shadow on the Martial God Tombstone.

The shadowy figure started from the first stage of the Earthly Martial Fist and proceeded to the ninth stage, repeating every movement. Long Chen stared and copied everything it did.

The Three Martial Realms and the path of martial arts… It was time for Long Chen to complete the Earthly Martial Realm. He was one step away from accomplishing that.

But it was also the hardest step.

Long Chen had more or less completed the Earthly Martial Fist. Beyond it was the rare Heavenly Martial Fist. The Heavenly Martial Fist wasn’t as widespread as the Earthly Martial Fist, but Long Chen knew that the manual for the Heavenly Martial Fist was seen as a treasure for each clan that had been left behind by their ancestors. Many cultivators failed to reach the Heavenly Martial Realm because they didn’t have the manual.

Long Chen didn’t have one at the moment, but he was certain that Bai Lan would give it to him if he asked.

However, the Heavenly Martial Fist could be easily found in the Three Royal Territories.

Since Long Chen was still a ways off from needing it, he focused on the final stage of the Earthly Martial Fist.

Cultivating in the depths of the underground chamber, Long Chen focused on perfecting his senses to feel the power and pulse of the earth. He would use it to reinforce his body.

A few days later, Long Chen started to copy the shadow on the Martial God Tombstone to start his cultivation of the final stage of the Earthly Martial Fist.

There were plenty of problems at first, but with Long Chen’s continuous improvement and the Martial God Tombstone’s guidance, he slowly perfected it. All he needed was time.

And time did indeed pass. Long Chen immersed himself in cultivation. Little Cat did not bother him, and Xiaolang was in the middle of his own transformation. In Long Chen’s world, there was only the shadowy figure that continued to show him the moves of the final stage of the Earthly Martial Fist.

Two months later, Long Chen finally succeeded in crossing the gap and reaching the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. The dragon-shaped Martial Soul in his sea of consciousness started to become very solid and life-like. Long Chen was certain that it would undergo another round of transformation once he reached the Heavenly Martial Realm.

The dragon-shaped Martial Soul appeared to be sentient as it floated above the Dragon Jade Pendant.

The spiritual Qi coming from the earth surged into Long Chen’s body. He had finally reached the same cultivation level as Wu Guangyu—the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage.

Long Chen stood up in the underground chamber.
