Chapter 6625 Mission

Long Chen had been so singularly focused on deducing the divine ability that, when he finally tested his conclusion, he shouted its name without hesitation.

As a result, a giant star came crashing down from the heavens.

Long Chen had not expected this. That star contained such destructive power that it instantly threw the laws of the world into chaos. Even the academy’s grand formation lost its effect.

Long Chen’s hair stood on end. The power of this star far exceeded all expectations. He had succeeded in summoning it, but he could not control it.

If the star fell, it would not only annihilate them. The entire first academy would be wiped out in an instant. Before that descending star, Long Chen felt like an ant.

With no other choice, Long Chen could only call for help.

The only one who could save them was the sweeping elder.

Suddenly, a giant whirlpool appeared above the academy, forcibly sucking the star into its depths.

A second whirlpool materialized beyond the academy grounds, and the giant star shot out from it.

The giant star covered in countless star diagrams charged out, a blazing tail dragging behind it as it rapidly shrank.

BOOM!

It was like a sun exploding. Even from such a great distance, observers were left dazed by the blinding radiance.

Following that, the land started to shake, and multicolored lights flew through the sky. This was the phenomenon caused by the laws of the Grand Dao being destroyed and ignited.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Long Chen himself was momentarily speechless. The destructive force of that attack likely surpassed the full-powered strike of a Divine Sovereign.

“As expected of the nine star line’s greatest divine ability. This power...” Long Chen muttered.

Although Long Chen had never doubted Xue Ying outright, he did think that it would be very difficult for her to come into contact with the nine star line’s greatest divine abilities, given her status. Most likely, she had been duped.

Thus, when Long Chen started extrapolating it here, he had not thought too deeply about it.

Now, however, it was clear. Xue Ying truly had obtained one of the nine star line’s strongest divine abilities.

Powerful astral winds carrying multicolored lights came rushing over to the first academy. At that moment, an immense hand appeared and struck the raging wave aside, diverting it around the academy.

In an instant, the picturesque land around the academy turned into a lifeless wasteland, as though a catastrophic flood had torn through it.

Gu Yang and the others gulped. They started to sweat.

They had been jolted awake only to see a giant star descending from the heavens, without any idea of what had happened.

Xue Ying was also dumbfounded.

She couldn’t believe Long Chen had really managed to extrapolate the complete divine ability from the fragments she had transmitted.

She had sealed that technique within her soul and had never even considered cultivating it. Even comprehending a trace of the Grand Dao through those star diagrams had been enough for her.

When she showed it to Long Chen, she hoped that he would figure out some of the secrets of the nine star line. That would benefit his future cultivation and deepen his debt to her.

Unexpectedly, Long Chen had not only figured out the correct sequence of the star diagrams, but he had even shouted out its name. In other words, he could use this absolutely terrifying attack.

Previously, Xue Ying had doubted that he could even call out the technique’s name. And even if he did, the required Spiritual Strength should have exceeded his limits, causing the technique to detonate prematurely.

Such a detonation would be harmful, but with its power dispersed, it wouldn’t be able to threaten lives.

However, once the divine technique was fully condensed, everything changed. The two outcomes were fundamentally different.

Long Chen had truly succeeded.

Even Xue Ying could not help but feel a sense of reverence toward his comprehension.

“Dean Long Chen,” the sweeping elder said with a wry smile as he appeared in the sky, “while you reclaimed the first academy, there’s no need to be the one to destroy it.”

Long Chen’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the sweeping elder’s teasing made his face burn.

“Sweeping elder, you must be joking. With the calamities this disciple attracts, perhaps only someone like you could save the academy,” Long Chen replied.

The fear from this incident still lingered.

After surviving the heaven region’s battlefield and his killer heavenly tribulation, if Long Chen were to die to his own divine ability, that would have been really dumb.

If this news were to spread, perhaps his enemies would laugh to death.

“That technique is truly formidable,” the sweeping elder said, surveying the devastation. “It shattered the Grand Dao and erased the vitality of this land. I’ll need to ask the Rainbow Crane race to assist with its recovery.”

With that, the sweeping elder vanished, going to clean up Long Chen’s blunder.

Long Chen wiped the sweat from his brow. Inside, he was truly delighted by this technique’s power. Who could possibly stop something like this?

“Congratulations, Lord Long Chen. With this divine ability, you can sweep through the nine heavens and ten lands,” said Xue Ying.

Long Chen shook his head. “It’s powerful, but useless in real combat for now. I’ll need to continue studying it.”

Despite its overwhelming power, this technique had two big flaws.

First, the casting time was far too long. It required at least an incense stick’s worth of time to activate. No enemy would wait that long.

Second, once the star formed, it severed all connection with its master. There was no way to control it afterward.

This was the first time in all his years of cultivation that Long Chen had encountered such a phenomenon. If it was a power that you could not control, then what kind of value did it have?

“Boss, that attack was enough to kill a Divine Sovereign! You have to study it some more. Once you can control it, even Divine Sovereigns will have to kneel and call you ‘Daddy’ when they see you!” praised Guo Ran.

Guo Ran’s way of speaking made Xue Ying choke back some laughter. She had never heard such an outrageous expression.

“Sorry, sorry, I’m not questioning you,” said Xue Ying hastily to Guo Ran.

“I’m serious!” Guo Ran continued, undeterred. “Think about it! If one star is this terrifying, what if you summoned hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?”

“You really dare to dream.” Long Chen was speechless.

One star was already uncontrollable. If that many descended, he would die a spectacularly miserable death.

“Everyone, since your tribulation is complete and your foundations are stable, you should go into seclusion to slowly digest the energy you gained and comprehend your new divine abilities,” instructed Long Chen.

“Boss, you’re not going into seclusion with us?”

“I don’t have the time. I’ll be heading into the Primal Chaos World a bit early as I have something important to do. Brothers, keep working hard. I will wait for you in the Primal Chaos World.”

His expression turned grave.

The Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign had entrusted him with a critical mission—one he could not delay.

Still, before departing for the Primal Chaos World, there were loose ends to settle.

After bidding everyone farewell, Long Chen departed with only Xue Ying at his side.

One day later, in the sky above Jiuli City, countless stars suddenly covered the land, and a sharp killing intent filled the air.
