Chapter 6398 Healing Through Battle
“Old cauldron, just what are you thinking? Do you not see Long Chen’s condition? You want him to keep fighting while refusing our help? What did he ever do to you?” demanded Evilmoon, its voice laced with disbelief.
Just like the Earth Cauldron, its soul was connected to Long Chen’s, so it could sense just how terrible Long Chen’s state was.
Long Chen’s three bloodlines and astral energy were already on the verge of exhaustion. Worst of all, his physical body was battered terribly. There was no way he could endure a battle on this level.
The sensible choice was to let Long Chen recuperate, but the Earth Cauldron refused to let him do so. It wanted him to continue fighting, and Evilmoon could not understand this at all.
BOOM!
Multiple attacks struck Long Chen immediately, shattering his protective divine light. At this sight, Huo Linger and Lei Linger cried out in alarm.
Long Chen was simply too weak right now. Fighting a single expert with 999 Sovereign flames would not faze him, but facing a hundred such warriors was an entirely different matter.
Huo Linger quickly counted and saw nearly a hundred experts at that level, along with thousands more with 998 Sovereign flames. Even at his peak, Long Chen would have had to be extremely cautious against such a force.
“Let us help Big Brother Long Chen! Otherwise, he’ll die!” Huo Linger pleaded.
However, the Earth Cauldron remained silent. Inside the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest, Uncle Fan watched nervously. Without Long Chen’s command, it didn’t dare to interfere.
“Hmph, the human race’s number one expert is just a weakling,” sneered the dragon experts.
Since they didn’t know Long Chen’s true strength, their first attacks were merely probing blows. Yet unexpectedly, Long Chen couldn’t even block these blows. He was sent flying back, and the sight boosted their confidence.
“No... his aura is listless. He is probably injured. How arrogant, daring to challenge us even in such a state! He’s courting death!”
A single-horned dragon expert quickly realized the truth. Of these dragon experts, he had the strongest perception.
“Die!”
Hearing that Long Chen was injured, one of the dragon experts arrogantly charged forward.
BOOM!
Long Chen grunted as dragon scales erupted across his hand. He blocked the punch, but the force sent him flying once more.
“Big Brother Long Chen!” shouted Huo Linger.
In that instant, Long Chen’s remaining dragon blood energy was completely drained.
BOOM!
A violet screen of light flared, blocking the next strike from a dragon expert. But with that, his violet blood was also exhausted.
“Die!”
The next moment, a whip lashed through the air, and Long Chen summoned a seven-colored divine sword to meet it.
With a thunderous crack, the seven-colored divine sword shattered, and Long Chen’s aura fell further. He now looked like a candle flame about to be snuffed out. In the span of mere breaths, his dragon blood, violet blood, and seven-colored Supreme Blood were all spent.
“You stupid old cauldron, are you trying to get Long Chen killed?!” Evilmoon roared at the Earth Cauldron, its fury overflowing.
Long Chen’s bloodline power was completely exhausted, and the little astral energy he had left was used to suppress the astral wounds from the star diagram branding. If that final reserve of astral energy was spent, his body would collapse instantly.
Yet, even in this dire state, Long Chen’s face remained calm. His eyes held no panic.
His calmness was the only thing making these dragon experts nervous. The image before them did not match their impression of him. After all, Long Chen wasn’t just the human race’s number one genius—he was also the leader of the dragon race. How could he appear this weak?
If he truly was this weak, why had he come here? Anyone who wasn’t an idiot would never do something so foolish. And Long Chen didn’t seem like an idiot.
The top experts kept their guard high, encircling him tightly to prevent any chance of escape. As for the ones attacking, they did so with arrogance on their faces, but they still moved cautiously, wary of Long Chen pulling some kind of trick against them.
Suddenly, starlight appeared beneath Long Chen’s feet, and he vanished.
“Damn it, you can’t use astral energy!” Evilmoon bellowed, ready to defy the Earth Cauldron’s will and intervene regardless.
At that moment, Long Chen reappeared like a phantom outside their encirclement. He thrust out a single finger, piercing the skull of a dragon expert with 980 Sovereign flames. The man dropped dead instantly.
After killing him, Long Chen turned deathly pale. Starlight flickered over his body, and the sound of creaking bones echoed as if his frame itself were about to collapse.
Just now, Long Chen had tapped into the faintest trace of his astral energy. It was the only thing suppressing the astral wounds ravaging his body, so even that tiny usage tore the wounds open again.
At this moment, Long Chen’s Supreme Bone quivered ever so slightly, like a drowning person grasping a life jacket.
Long Chen’s Supreme Bone instantly devoured the slain expert’s Sovereign flames, and it poured the energy into his dragon blood.
For Long Chen, the energy of an expert with 980 Sovereign flames was usually insignificant. However, for someone on the brink of death from thirst, even a single cup of water could mean survival. That sliver of energy brought Long Chen back from collapse.
A burst of dragon blood energy surged and suppressed the rampaging astral wounds. Though his body was on the verge of breaking apart, his condition stabilized, although just barely.
“Everyone weaker, fall back! Don’t let Long Chen catch you!” shouted the one-horned expert.
His perception was sharper than the rest. Though he wasn’t sure exactly what was happening, he sensed that Long Chen’s frail aura had strengthened slightly after that kill.
However, Long Chen didn’t give them any time to react. Moving like a bolt of lightning, he struck down eight more dragon experts.
Normally, Long Chen could slaughter experts with 980 Sovereign with a wave of his hand. But in his current state, eight kills was his absolute limit. Even so, their Sovereign flames were devoured in an instant by the Supreme Bone, further fueling him.
“Die!”
The one-horned expert charged toward Long Chen, joined by several other top experts who had also sensed that something was amiss.
However, Long Chen ignored them. With a flash, he charged toward the weaker dragon experts surrounding him, just like a tiger descending amongst a flock of sheep.
Blood sprayed through the air wherever he passed.
Inside the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest, the Earth Cauldron’s tension finally eased.
“Finally, he has achieved healing through battle!”
