Chapter 7104 Starry Seas Connected, Eight Stars Fully Powered
A giant star lit up behind Long Chen. At the same time, Long Chen’s Supreme Bone trembled. The star diagrams on it lit up.
The FengFu Star’s light concentrated onto Long Chen’s Supreme Bone. A beam of light then shot into the starry sea in his Dantian. A star lit up there—it was the FengFu Star!
“Alioth Star, open!”
“Life Fate Star, open!”
“Enlightenment Palace Star, open!”
Every time Long Chen shouted, a star lit up behind him, and the starry sea in his Dantian followed in the same way. Once eight stars were blazing with light, the starry sea in his Dantian and the starry sea manifestation behind him were perfectly linked together.
Previously, Long Chen had found their orbit and waited for the moment when they perfectly overlapped. Now that all eight stars were activated, they formed eight channels through the Supreme Bone that connected the two starry seas.
Suddenly, intense pain spread through Long Chen’s body. He felt as if someone was slowly carving his bones with a dull knife.
If it weren’t for Li Yixuan’s Full Moon reflection, I might never have thought of this. So the Supreme Bone can be the bridge connecting the inner and outer starry seas...
Although the pain was intense, Long Chen was still delighted.
Enlightenment occurred in an instant. It was like a paper window being torn open. It sounded simple, but without the right opportunity, one could stare for a century or even a millennium without seeing anything beyond that paper panel.
The two starry seas were fully connected. The impact was borne by the Supreme Bone; however, this level of impact was nothing to the Supreme Bone. It was just some temporary pain. In an incense stick’s worth of time, the Supreme Bone had adjusted to this force.
Then, Long Chen formed hand seals. The eight stars faded, and eight starry gates appeared in their place.
Although he had been prepared, the opening of all eight gates felt like eight creeks suddenly becoming massive rivers. Long Chen shuddered from the sudden surge in strength. Even someone like him, long accustomed to extreme pain, couldn’t help groaning.
In theory, he should have opened them one by one and slowly gotten used to the power. However, he didn’t have that much time. Thankfully, as long as his Supreme Bone could endure it, so could he. Pain would not kill him.
The great era was here. Who knew how many terrifying beings had awoken? Although Long Chen was confident in himself, he was also aware that there was always a sky beyond the sky. Just because he didn’t know of them didn’t mean that there wasn’t someone stronger out there.
In particular, there were many existences that had been hiding for countless years that were coming out. They had accumulated all their strength to rise to the peak in this era.
In terms of accumulation, how could Long Chen compare to those monsters that an entire major force of this world had spent every possible resource on for countless years? Thus, what Long Chen needed to do right was to get stronger. He had to make continuous breakthroughs.
The arrival of the new era meant that there were countless new resources to fight for. And naturally, the resources that could be taken by fighting would only go to the strong. Even if someone happened to obtain something by luck, it would only be snatched away by someone stronger. If Long Chen was not strong enough, he would be forced to retreat from those new opportunities. Then he would be stuck in his original place while others suddenly advanced like lightning. He would have no chance of catching up.
The world was filled with his enemies, and these enemies wouldn’t wait for him. The minute they sensed they had advantage over him, they would do everything they could to kill him. In fact, there were even some factions who nominally had no grudge with Long Chen, and perhaps could be said to have a decent relationship with him, who would bare their fangs at him if the opportunity presented itself.
The human heart is truly fickle.
Eight astral gates shuddered behind Long Chen, and eight starry gates also flashed within his Dantian. Astral energy came gushing out like a flood, charging towards the Supreme Bone.
Long Chen clenched his teeth from the pain. But as he examined his Supreme Bone, he sighed in relief. Every bone in his body had been transformed by his Supreme Bone; in a sense, they were all extensions of the Supreme Bone. This impact might have overwhelmed the tiny little Supreme Bone if it was on its own, but thanks to his whole skeleton being Supreme Bones, the impact was lessened, and the burden was shared.
All eight gates being open was painful, but still tolerable.
After a full day, Long Chen didn’t even know how he managed to endure the pain, but his Supreme Bone had finally gotten accustomed to this new power. The eight gates quivered, and astral energy gushed out. Long Chen was filled with excitement.
One inside, one outside. When these two starry seas are connected, my astral energy is boosted in both quantity and quality. And I can sense the astral energy beyond the heavens even more clearly!
Long Chen was overjoyed by these changes. Even better, his Supreme Bone was acting as the bridge between the two starry seas and was also absorbing their power to strengthen itself. As a result, his physical body had also undergone explosive growth during this time. After all, the foundation of the body was the skeleton. The stronger the bones, the tougher the tendons could be, and the more the power of the muscles and blood could activate.
“Alright, I’ll risk it all!”
Long Chen suddenly clenched his teeth and formed hand seals.
Eight giant stars lit up within the eight gates in a superimposition of square and circle.
Long Chen instantly spat out blood. Although he had expected yet another surge of power, he had once more underestimated exactly how terrifying it would be.
If the basic eight stars were tiny creeks and the eight gates were mighty rivers, then the merger between a gate and a star was like channeling a massive river into a small pipe and pushing the water out at the exact same discharge rate. The connection of the inner and outer starry seas was a gentle current, but in this state, the current had the power of a water cannon. The immense power caused the Supreme Bone to crackle; Long Chen felt like every bone in his body was about to shatter.
“This is completely fine... No problem...”
Long Chen clenched his teeth, his face distorted from the pain. He brought himself back from the brink of passing out.
He kept a close eye on his Supreme Bone. Faint cracks appeared on it, like it was about to burst. However, Long Chen discovered that this terrifying pressure was causing it to absorb the golden astral essence. Those cracks were being nourished. His Supreme Bone was instinctively strengthening itself so it didn’t break.
Suddenly, Long Chen’s vision darkened. He couldn’t see anything, and he felt his body turning numb. He ruthlessly bit down on his tongue, forcing himself to stay conscious. Based on his experience, as long as he could endure the first wave, the rest would be no problem...
...then, three days later, Long Chen didn’t even know how many times he had dragged himself back from the brink of unconsciousness. These three days had felt longer than three years. But by the end of the third day, his Supreme Bone was finally able to endure the astral energy. In other words, he could fully unleash the power of his eight stars!
When that realization struck, Long Chen couldn’t endure it any longer, and finally passed out.
