“Lightly…”
“Lightly…!”
BOOM!
“Damnit . ”
Although Long Chen had done his best, he had been unable to control it . The instant the cyclone reached its peak, an earth-shattering power erupted and the mountain below him crumbled . Boulders were sent tumbling away, followed by a loud rumbling .
“Damn, I still ended up causing this much of a ruckus . I have to slip away . ”
Long Chen had no time to examine the changes in his body . He immediately fled a dozen mountains away . When he turned to look back, he saw several people had already appeared there .
This disturbance was too great, and so some disciples had come over to take a look . Luckily, Long Chen had slipped away fast enough and they hadn’t seen him .
Sighing with relief, Long Chen examined his hand . The cyclone had disappeared, and a small star had taken its place .
Although it was just the size of sesame seed and just an embryonic form, he felt a resonance with the FengFu, Alioth, and Life Fate Stars . He felt endless energy surging out of him .
He punched the air . A loud bang rang out and it was like space was about to be blown apart .
“The Enlightenment Palace Star really doesn’t let me down . Just the power of my physical body is over ten times greater . Once the star is completely condensed, just how powerful will I be?” Long Chen was filled with delight at his new strength .
Last time, he might have managed to defeat Shui Guanzhi, but he knew that his victory had been a bit lucky . If Shui Guanzhi hadn’t been so careless, it would have been difficult to say who would win .

Moreover, Shui Guanzhi and the others had definitely gained huge benefits in the Xuantian Sea and Nine Netherworld Path . But he hadn’t gained anything .
Although Lei Long and Huo Long had gotten stronger, they were his strongest trump cards, and he couldn’t easily reveal them . If he did reveal them, then it had to be for the goal of killing his opponents .
Previously, he had still been worrying about fighting Shui Guanzhi and Zhao Wuji during the third trial . If he didn’t want to reveal Lei Long and Huo Long, then he would have been suppressed . But now, he no longer had to have that worry .
“Hm, now that my strength has increased this much, my physical body should be able to endure one thousand catties of force . Should I try it?”
Long Chen took out the green dragon scale . He closed his eyes and aligned himself with its fluctuations in an attempt to use his soul to open the seal on it .
The dragon expert had refined the essence blood within the scale and also placed a seal on it . The seal was to preserve as much of the essence blood’s power as possible .
As his Spiritual Strength circulated, the seal was slowly opened . There was a single drop of green blood inside the scale, and Long Chen drew it into his palm .
BOOM!
Long Chen screamed . He was blown back, wildly vomiting blood and his flesh flying off him .
He collapsed on the ground, filled with indescribable pain . Looking down, his soul almost fled in terror . Almost all his flesh had exploded just now . There was only a thin layer of flesh on his bones, and even his internal organs were about to slip out .
“What’s going on?!”
Long Chen was appalled . He hastily circulated the primal chaos space, and his flesh began to rapidly restore . In an incense stick’s worth of time, his body was recovered .
He was completely pale . That had been too dangerous . He had just been the slightest bit away from a terrible death .

He hastily examined the scale . The essence blood had once more been sealed .
“What… what is going on? Didn’t it say that I could try refining the blood once my body could endure one thousand catties of force?”
Suddenly, he slapped his leg . “Damnit, what a conner! So that’s what try meant!”
He could try to refine it once he could endure one thousand catties of force . In other words, if he had reached that level, he could try it without instantly dying!
“Ugh, thank goodness I didn’t try this earlier . Otherwise, I would no longer exist . ” Long Chen felt a burst of fear . At the same time, his reverence for the dragon expert increased .
The dragon had said that this dragon scale was from the molting of its infancy . A baby dragon was a green dragon . For just one drop of its essence blood to be this terrifying, that was practically against the natural order . It was thousands of times more terrifying than the legends .
“Fine, I’ll admit you’re amazing . Without fully condensing the fourth star, I won’t touch you . ”
Long Chen had an urge to cry as he placed the dragon scale into the primal chaos space . Currently, the primal chaos space was a land of death .
As his physical body grew stronger, the energy of the trees inside was clearly not able to keep up with him .
One complete recovery had exhausted all the life energy in the trees . Furthermore, his body was still very weak . His flesh might have returned, but he was only at sixty percent power now . He needed to find some kind of stronger vegetation to replace his trees .
Long Chen wearily returned to the Dao Sect . Perhaps it was because of what had happened in the Nine Netherworld Path, but the third trial, which should have come right after the second trial, only began half a month later .
During that time, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples transformed, each of them becoming full of enthusiasm and energy .
When Gu Yang appeared in front of everyone after he awakened as a Celestial, they were once more shocked . Now, the thirty-sixth supermonastery had seven Celestials, one of which was a rank two Celestial, as well as a monster like Long Chen .

When it came to strength, the thirty-sixth supermonastery was no longer lacking compared to the supermonasteries of the Four Heavenly Geniuses . This metamorphosis was truly shocking .
Previously, Gu Yang, who hadn’t attended the Nine Netherworld Path, had said that he wouldn’t come out of seclusion until he became a Celestial .
At that time, many people had sneered . Did he think someone could become a Celestial just because they wanted to?
But now that Gu Yang was standing in front of them, those people practically went crazy . He had actually succeeded .
However, it wasn’t just the five of them who had awakened as Celestials after the trials . There was one other ordinary disciple who had become a Celestial .
But when the odds were compared, they were completely different .
Other than Gu Yang’s awakening, another shocking matter was that the Four Heavenly Geniuses had all advanced, going from the eighth Heavenstage of Xiantian to the ninth Heavenstage .
Each of them was like a sharp blade, and their auras had completely transformed . Not even rank one Celestials could get close to them, as that aura would push them away . Their gazes seemed to shine, but when they looked at Long Chen, they couldn’t help being somewhat disappointed . He was still at the third Heavenstage, and his complexion didn’t look very good . He almost seemed like he had been ill .
Of course he didn’t look good . Only when he had returned had he realized that his meridians had been damaged by the green dragon essence blood .
The only pleasant surprise was that when he had healed his meridians, he had found an extremely weak Dragon Qi within them .
That was the aura that the dragon blood had left behind . Although that aura had wreaked havoc on his body, this Dragon Qi was slowly strengthening his body .
Long Chen hadn’t expected to obtain such a blessing . Now, it should be easier for him to refine the dragon blood in the future . He had laid down a solid foundation .
However, he didn’t try refining the dragon blood again . Although trying again and again could slowly refine the blood, each time he released the seal, he would lose a portion of the blood’s energy . That wasn’t worth it .
Currently, Long Chen’s meridians had only recovered by around eighty to ninety percent . So his complexion was definitely not so good .
“It couldn’t be that he overindulged in alcohol and women?” muttered one female upon seeing Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er .
When others heard that, they came to a sudden comprehension . That look made Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er blush with both bashfulness and anger .
“Don’t lower yourself to their level,” comforted Long Chen .
Their expressions became a little better, but his next words made them want to beat him up .
“If you want to play that kind of game, we can do it any time . It sounds like it’s very fun and challenging!” Long Chen said in a voice only the three of them could hear . Tang Wan-er had an urge to bite him .
Seeing Long Chen flirting with Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er, Zhao Wuji was infuriated . “Long Chen, pray that you don’t encounter me during this trial! If we meet, I’ll crush you to a pulp!”
“Idiot . ”
Long Chen merely snorted . He couldn’t be bothered to say anything more . Such a person had definitely been spoiled into an idiot by the grownups around him .
He was someone who was not in touch with reality . Whatever he wanted, he got, and so he never cared about angering others . But when others angered him, it was like they had to pay with their lives .
In his eyes, and also the other heavenly geniuses, they were the pride of this world . Others were only there for them to trample on and play with . They were strong, and they had powerful backers, so they had no need to respect others .
Long Chen had already seen many such people, and he had also killed many of them as well . Only when they were about to die did they finally understand what terror was . But regretfully, Long Chen never gave them much time to feel it . He directly sent them to be reincarnated .
So, he was too lazy to bother with such people . If they truly provoked him, then he would directly kill them .
At this time, the vice sect master appeared . Everyone became silent and straightened their backs . Quite a few of their hearts tensed . The third trial was about to begin .
