Chapter 713
Chapter 713
Everyone’s attention was drawn to Long Chen . That was especially true of the Celestials who were also in the red zone .
“It doesn’t seem like he finds it difficult at all! Is he really planning on entering the storm zone?”
Up to now, only the Four Heavenly Geniuses had entered the storm zone . But it seemed Long Chen really was planning on joining them .
Long Chen quickly bypassed Celestial after Celestial . Seeing him walk past them, they were shocked . What kind of monster was he?
“Does he really have the same level of strength as the Four Heavenly Geniuses?” This was the question on everyone’s mind . Those four were unrivaled second rank Celestials, while Long Chen wasn’t even a Celestial .
In truth, Long Chen also felt a great deal of pressure . When he got close to the storm zone, he was forced to slow down, because the pressure here was too great .
He was less than a mile from the storm zone . But this mile was too terrifying . The pressure would double every thirty meters .
Even Long Chen felt like his blood was churning within him . But he also felt the tide constantly strengthening his physical body .
However, this strengthening was too slow . Perhaps the other Celestials felt that their physical bodies were rapidly advancing, but Long Chen’s body had already reached a terrifying level . He didn’t particularly care about this level of strengthening .
He had the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . As long as he condensed the fourth star, his physical strength would immediately multiply . How could he care about this little bit?
His target was the storm zone . That was where the purest energy of the Xuantian Sea was located . He knew this for sure because Huo Long and Lei Long were both expressing their desires to him loudly and repeatedly .
There was something in the storm zone that they wanted . Huo Long was especially agitated . It seemed like a monster than had been starving for tens of thousands of years and was now seeing meat before it . It practically went crazy .
As Long Chen advanced, the current began to rumble . The storm zone was right in front of him .
Long Chen felt extremely uncomfortable with the intense pressure here . Taking a deep breath, his spiritual yuan began to surge . His aura erupted to fight against the current . If he still didn’t do this, then just his physical body would be unable to endure it .
At this moment, everyone’s gazes were on him . They wanted to see whether he truly had the ability to challenge the storm zone .
Long Chen had stopped . He was adjusting his aura . Previously, the Four Heavenly Geniuses had also adjusted themselves for an incense stick’s worth of time .
Shui Wuhen was nervous . Long Chen had always been her greatest pride, but even she didn’t know how powerful he really was . The fact that he wanted to compete with the Four Heavenly Geniuses made her worry . If he failed, she would become a laughingstock .
BOOM!
Suddenly, the Xuantian Sea shook slightly . Long Chen had merely paused for a few breaths before taking a step into the storm zone .
“He’s crazy!”
The spectators were appalled . Even the Four Heavenly Geniuses had had to summon their manifestations to enter the storm zone .
But Long Chen was merely circulating his spiritual yuan . That was the simplest, most ordinary defense possible . In front of the storm zone, he would immediately be blown back .
The violet storm zone was like a hurricane . Loud rumbling filled Long Chen’s ears .
Long Chen’s body suddenly trembled, and if felt like he had been smashed by countless hammers . His blood churned, and he vomited a mouthful of blood .
Long Chen was surprised to see that his shoulder had dislocated because of the tearing force here . This storm seemed like wind but also not like wind . It seemed like water but was not water . It contained every single kind of energy found within heaven and earth .
But Long Chen found that all those various energies contained a berserk, destructive force along with a powerful nourishing force . When he recovered from his injuries, he sensed that the energy here was of great assistance, and it saved him a great deal of life energy from the primal chaos space when he healed .
“How mysterious . ” Long Chen sighed inside . The Xuantian Sea was absolutely inexplicable .
While Long Chen was surprised, the outside world had practically gone crazy . Long Chen had actually charged his way through . Although he was a bit miserable at the start and had suffered an injury, he had completely adapted in just a few breaths . That was too monstrous .
Shui Wuhen finally relaxed . At the same time, she was also shocked .
“What a powerful physical body . ” The vice sect master couldn't help being moved . It was his first time seeing such a physical body .
He was a Foundation Forging expert, and he could tell that Long Chen wasn’t relying on any technique . His physical body was not backed by something like Zhao Wuji’s earth energy .
The four family heads were also shocked . They had heard Long Chen was a monster and powerful, but they hadn’t really taken it to heart . No matter how strong he was, how could he compare to a rank two Celestial?
But now, he had forced his way into the storm zone . That was especially shocking to Zhou Tianyi and Shui Yuncong .
The former regretted not caring enough about him before . Such a person had to either be drawn to their side or stealthily killed . Now, the Shui family had two peerless geniuses . The situation was not good for his Zhou family .
As for Shui Yuncong, he also regretted not listening when Shui Wuhen told him Long Chen was a peerless genius and should be given the same treatment as Shui Guanzhi . Instead of listening, he had treated him as a game piece to use against the Zhou family . Now that Long Chen had displayed such power, he didn’t know what to do .
Furthermore, Shui Yuncong suddenly thought of a certain something, and his expression twitched . But there was nothing he could do now .
Long Chen stood in the storm zone for a full incense stick’s worth of time before gradually coming to an understanding of the rules here . Then he began to slowly advance . The pressure here was so immense, even steel would be instantly crushed .
Long Chen could only advance step by step . He quickly saw four figures in front of him . The four of them were in a row and maintaining a distance of around a mile from each other as they slowly advanced toward the center .
Long Chen was right in the middle of the four .
Zhao Wuji was the one furthest to the left, while the one furthest to the right was carrying a sword on his back . Because it was his back facing him, Long Chen couldn’t see his face, but he knew it had to be the sword cultivator, Yue Qianshan .
Of the two in the middle, the lithe figure was most definitely Zhong Wuyan, while the other had long hair that fell loosely on his back . He had to be the Shui family’s genius, Shui Guanzhi .
Long Chen frowned slightly . His position was rather awkward . But if he were to detour around them with this snail-like pace, it would waste too much time .
Furthermore, he wanted to charge to the very center of the sea . So he had to pass by two of them .
The two most suited for him to pass were Zhong Wuyan and Shui Guanzhi . There was a mile between them, which was enough to safely pass through .
The four of them had also noticed Long Chen, and they were extremely shocked . The most shocking fact was that after entering the storm zone, he had reached their current position even faster than them .
In less than a few hours, Long Chen was less than half a mile away . He would quickly be standing shoulder to shoulder with them .
Now that he got closer, he saw their faces . Everything about Yue Qianshan was sword-like . His eyebrows were sword-like, and his gaze seemed like two sharp blades . That gaze contained the specific arrogance of a sword cultivator .
On the other hand, Shui Guanzhi was more handsome . But he was a bit too handsome, making him appear almost feminine . Long Chen disliked his appearance a great deal . He quickly realized the reason: he looked a bit similar to Marquis Ying .
Just at this moment, Shui Guanzhi turned toward Long Chen and shook his head . “Scram . You don’t have the qualifications to be here!”
Alarm bells suddenly rang in Long Chen’s heart, but it was too late . An invisible fluctuation struck him .
Within the current, it was practically impossible to sense a transparent fist . By the time Long Chen noticed it, he had been struck .
He felt like a huge hammer had smashed into him . He pierced straight through the red, blue, and white zones like a shooting star . When he crashed into the edge of the basin, the entire land trembled slightly .
Shui Wuhen shot up, her expression dark . “Did you set this up?!”
“How brazen Shui Wuhen! Don’t be so rude to the family head!” Another expert from the Shui family immediately retorted .
Shui Yuncong glanced at Shui Wuhen . “The matters of youngsters should be resolved by the youngsters . As the monastery head, do you not even possess that resolve?”
Shui Wuhen trembled from rage . She knew that Shui Yuncong had set this up in order to punish her for going against the family . He was trying to force her to lower her head .
“Good! Hahaha, good! These are your own words . Don’t regret it!” Shui Wuhen sat back down .
Long Chen miserably crawled up . He wiped away the blood from his mouth, and a smile appeared on his face . That smile was chilling to the bone .
