Chapter 484 - Fourth Passage Stage

Chapter 484 - Fourth Passage Stage

If Long Chen continued chasing after the Ghost Shadow Fox like this, there was a chance he would run into unpredictable threats. His mind raced, and he quickly decided on the spot to use Blood Warp. He only used it for a short moment, but his speed increased by tenfold and he instantly found himself in front of the Ghost Shadow Fox.

He deactivated Blood Warp as fast as he could. That was more than enough to complete his objective, which was to advance more than a hundred meters to appear in front of the Ghost Shadow Fox.

Long Chen rarely used Blood Warp and Blood Sacrifice.

After he pounced in front of it, he attacked using the Heaven Sword Array. Since it was an attack that covered a large area, it was perfect for dealing with a fast beast like the Ghost Shadow Fox. It had nowhere to run, as it was surrounded by the Heaven Sword Array.

The Ghost Shadow Fox did not understand how Long Chen had accelerated so much so quickly. It was a smart beast, but it could not figure it out.

Long Chen’s Heaven Sword Array enveloped the Ghost Shadow Fox.

Its first thought was to run some more.

However, could it escape the looming attack?

The Heaven Sword Array was an advanced Heaven-tier attack, and it came from Ling Xi. He was completely confident now that there were Divine Martial Realm cultivators in Ling Xi’s clan. A Heaven-tier technique from one of those people was definitely a cut above the rest, so a tiny beast like the Ghost Shadow Fox would never be able to escape.

When the Heaven Sword Array’s storm of sword symbols fell, the Ghost Shadow Fox had nowhere to run. Being a Category Five Heaven-tier beast, its retaliation before death was quite terrifying. Long Chen dodged its attack with great difficulty, then he used the Heaven Sword Array to kill it instantly.

The Ghost Shadow Fox was not weak, but Long Chen was slowly growing stronger. The pressure from Ling Xi’s clan made him grow fast. Right now, Category Five Heaven-tier beasts were unable to withstand the might of his Heaven Sword Array.

After he put its body away in the Primordial Realm, Long Chen hurriedly used the Soul Swallowing Gaze to survey his surroundings. Due to the chase, he was now deep in the second layer of the demon world, so he had to ensure his own safety.

Thankfully, there were no beasts nearby, though there was one person. This person was only a hundred meters away, and despite the huge commotion, he had not approached. Instead, he seemed to be spinning around on the spot, as if searching for something.

Long Chen initially wanted to find a spot to use Blood Transmutation to increase his strength, but after seeing this person, he was intrigued.

“This is the same guy who told you how to get to the second layer when you had just arrived in the first layer. Something seems to be up with him,” Little Cat said.

“I’ll go check it out.” Long Chen was not worried about him. That guy was at the Fifth Passage Stage, so even if he held malicious intent, he would not be able to defeat Long Chen. Just like the Category Five Heaven-tier Ghost Shadow Fox, he was not a threat to Long Chen.

Didn’t he say he was looking for the girl he likes? Why is he here alone? Did something happen to his girl?

He covered a hundred over meters very quickly and soon saw the young man. When Long Chen spotted him, he froze. Previously, the young man was a gentle, elegant person, but now his hair was messy, he had dark circles around his eyes, and there was even some violence in his gaze.

“Big Brother, do you remember me?” Long Chen asked cautiously. It had been about a day since his arrival in the Seven Layered Demon World.

“It’s you!” The man gasped, then he said coldly, “You entered this place even at your cultivation level? You should leave. I don’t have time to talk!” Then he turned to leave.

Long Chen did not move. He thought it was strange, though it was none of his business and he was too lazy to ask.

After taking a few steps, the guy turned around again and asked coldly, “It looks like you aren’t planning to leave.”

“I’m free to stay here. But what’s up with you?” This person had previously helped him, so Long Chen wanted to be nice. If someone had threatened him, Long Chen would not let them go so easily.

“Die, then.” After hearing Long Chen’s reply, he suddenly charged at him.

Long Chen was exasperated. He had only just deactivated his Dragon Soul Transformation, but now he had to use it again. Long Chen could not be bothered to fight, so he used Blood Warp and disappeared.

Is he sick in the head? He wanted to kill me for no reason! Since you told me how to get to the second layer of the demon world, I’ll let you go this time. If this happens again, I won’t show mercy.

Using Blood Warp, Long Chen left the man and found a safe spot to digest and absorb the Ghost Shadow Fox’s blood so he could advance to the Fourth Passage Stage.

Everything went smoothly once again. When the fourth meridian point was cleared in his right foot, Long Chen reached the Fourth Passage Stage. His Qi reserves increased again as a result. In his current state, his body’s toughness was the greatest contributor to his strength, and this would continue until approximately the Sixth Passage Stage. His advanced Heaven-tier body would become less effective against opponents at that level, so he would have to start relying on his Qi soon.

Many cultivators who had reached the Sixth and Seventh Passage Stages also cultivated advanced Heaven-tier body tempering techniques, though theirs were a few times weaker than Long Chen’s dragon body. Long Chen’s body was almost as tough as the body of someone at the three Martial Realms.

Long Chen had used up three thousand Heavenly Passage Pills to reach the third Passage Stage, and it took him almost ten thousand to reach the Fourth. This also meant that he had used fifteen thousand Heavenly Passage Pills out of the one hundred thousand he had received. At this rate, to Long Chen’s horror, his Heavenly Passage Pill stash would only last him until the Fifth Passage Stage ...

My rate of Heavenly Passage Pill consumption is terrifying. It looks like I will only be able to reach the Fifth Passage Stage at most. I don’t have enough Heavenly Passage Pills, and the strongest beasts in the second layer are only at the Category Six Heaven-tier, which will only help me reach the Fifth Passage Stage at best. After I leave, I need to find another way to get more Heavenly Passage Pills and meet stronger beasts. If I continue to grow like this, I will definitely be able to face an opponent at the Eighth Passage Stage in just a month!

What Long Chen lacked most was good support. If he had a strong person backing him, he would be able to get much stronger, much quicker.

Of course, even though I’ll be stuck at the Fifth Passage Stage, no one under the Seventh Passage Stage will be a match for me, including Zhao Wuji and Qin Huanyu. I have become the strongest among all the regular disciples in just one or two days; I wonder how they’ll react when they find out? Long Chen was excited.

His quick progress was made possible by his super strong body, which was one of the benefits of absorbing the one hundredth of the Inherited Blood Essence.

Next, I must find a Category Six Heaven-tier beast to boost my cultivation level up to the Fifth Passage Stage. Long Chen set his goal, then he looked towards the depths of the demon world and walked ahead.

On his way, he encountered a few more Category Five Heaven-tier beasts. He only killed them if they were fire-type, though they made for good targets to test his new strength. He happened to find a fire-type beast among the few that he saw, so to its misfortune, it died beneath Long Chen’s sword and its demonic core ended up in Xiaolang’s belly. Xiaolang successfully leveled up to Category Three Heaven-tier.

Some beasts never leveled up in their lifetimes, but a psycho like Xiaolang could absorb fire energy to level up twice in such a short time.

Category Six Heaven-tier beasts were rare even in the second layer. It was difficult to distinguish between Category Five and Six beasts with the Soul Swallowing Gaze, so Long Chen had no choice but to search through the land on his own.

I wonder if there’s a canyon at the end of the second layer? Is that how you enter the third layer? With that thought, Long Chen made his way to the deepest part of the second layer, though to his frustration, he was wrong. The end of the second layer was a membrane that he could not approach. Long Chen knew that this was the boundary of the miniverse. With his current strength, he would never be able to enter.

Looks like I need to find another way to get to the third layer. With that thought, Long Chen had no choice but to continue his honest search for Category Six Heaven-tier beasts.

Two days later, after circling the area for a long time, he finally found one.

He had also found two Category Five fire-type beasts in that time, whose cores turned into Xiaolang’s food. Xiaolang’s demonic power experienced a great boost, although he had not reached Category Four Heaven-tier yet. The effects of the demonic cores were not outwardly noticeable.

After discovering the beast, Long Chen did not dare to move recklessly. It was a Category Six Heaven-tier beast after all. Even at his current cultivation level, he still had to stay alert.

“Category Six Heaven-tier Frostflame Twin Headed Snake!”
