Chapter 5131 Magma Sea



The long-haired man was already dead, but some kind of black runes continued to devour his body. In the blink of an eye, his body was gone, leaving behind only his clothes.


“Even if you’ve advanced to the Eternal realm, so what? I was able to resist the Heavenly Fate Curse for so long, but you couldn’t even handle a small part of it,” sneered Long Chen, shaking his head.


At first, Long Chen had truly been shocked by this man’s power, which was close to that of a three-vein Heaven Saint. Given Long Chen’s cursed state, where his own power was halved, being caught off-guard by that fellow’s attack had left him injured.


However, while his own power was suppressed, Huo Linger and Lei Linger’s powers were rapidly growing. Even if this long-haired man could fight evenly against a three-vein Heaven Saint, he wouldn’t be able to beat the two of them.


Initially, Long Chen had planned to let Huo Linger handle this opponent, but a sudden thought struck him: Could he transfer the Heavenly Fate Curse to this Heavenly Chosen?


The moment Long Chen drew out the Heavenly Fate Curse, the curse energy viewed the man as being one with Long Chen and indiscriminately attacked him. He ended up absorbing half of the curse energy from Long Chen, sealing his fate.


After days of battling against the curse, Long Chen had managed to suppress and diminish it to less than half of its original strength. Yet, even this reduced curse energy was lethal, instantly killing the Eternal realm Heavenly Chosen. This incident revealed just how devastating Lu Fan’s final attack had been.


As the curse energy was partially transferred to the man, Long Chen felt a significant relief. His sluggish Blood Qi started to flow more freely, and with the curse weakened, his strength started to return. He estimated that he could now unleash around seventy percent of his full power.


So this method works! It’s much more efficient than trying to wear down the curse on my own!


Long Chen was pleasantly surprised. Now, the Heavenly Fate Curse wasn’t a problem as long as he had Heavenly Chosens around him. He could just pass the curse energy to them.


In the past few days, Long Chen had learned how to resist the curse more effectively. He had developed a certain resistance and even figured out how to temporarily seal the curse energy. Though the Heavenly Fate Curse was terrifying, now that he had a way to deal with it, it wouldn’t be so troublesome to deal with it next time.


With this new method, Long Chen felt rejuvenated. Originally, he had planned to grind away the curse energy before entering the true core of the domain, but now he felt no need to delay. Without hesitation, he rushed toward the core.


As Long Chen moved deeper, the flames rising from the ground grew increasingly concentrated, and the flame fluctuations became stronger. Despite their intensity, these flames were harmless, even providing comfort for Long Chen, as they were infused with powerful Heavenly Dao fluctuations.


Long Chen could feel this Heavenly Dao energy pouring into him through the flames, and he noticed signs of his bottleneck beginning to loosen. The path ahead seemed promising.


“How miraculous. This is just the outer core, but it already has such an effect. Then wouldn’t the Brahma Path and the Daynight Bridge be even more heaven-defying?” Long Chen mused, his anticipation growing as he quickened his pace.


Suddenly, the flames parted, and a sharp claw tore through the air toward Long Chen. It resembled an eagle’s claw but was covered in scales. The timing was perfect, giving Long Chen no chance to react. In an instant, the claw latched onto him.


“Hahaha—AHHH!”


Wild laughter echoed through the area, but it quickly turned into a terrified scream as curse runes surged onto the claw, causing it to explode. Long Chen was sent flying, but he landed safely and saw a winged man fleeing in terror.


In the next instant, the winged man’s body crumbled. The flames consumed him, reducing him to nothingness and leaving behind only a foul stench.


“You sneak attacked me with this little bit of power?” Long Chen muttered, feeling a mix of disbelief and speechlessness at the futile attempt.


This attacker was from the demonic beast race and had just advanced to a higher level. Although he was a Heavenly Chosen, his Heavenly Fate Disk hadn’t fully matured, making him much weaker than the first person who had tried to ambush Long Chen.


It seemed this person was eager to hunt Long Chen and acted before his realm had fully stabilized. In a twist of fate, he was both fortunate and unfortunate to find Long Chen—fortunate because he located his target, but unfortunate because of the outcome.


Another half of the curse energy in Long Chen’s body was transferred to this attacker. Feeling lighter and more confident, Long Chen pressed on.


He quickly encountered several experts who threw their lives away for the bounty. They were thrilled to find Long Chen, but they met their demise at his hands.


While experts of their caliber no longer posed a threat to Long Chen, defeating them without relying on Huo Linger and Lei Linger would still have required some effort. This situation gave Long Chen a sense of alarm. These were merely second-rate Heavenly Chosens, whose Heavenly Fate Disks hadn’t even fully awakened, yet dealing with them was already so troublesome. This was not a good omen.


In reality, true experts would never risk their future just to fight Long Chen. Only second-rate Heavenly Chosens believed they had a chance to kill him by relying on their realm advantage. Their power was average, but it was precisely this mediocrity that pressured Long Chen.


If these experts were already this strong, what about the true heavenly geniuses? If their power rose in proportion to these second-rate idiots, that would be terrifying!


If Long Chen encountered them now, he would definitely be at a disadvantage due to realm suppression. No longer daring to tarry, he rushed forward at full speed.


With the help of these people, Long Chen completely expelled his Heavenly Fate Curse and quickly recovered to his peak condition. He encountered several more people on the way, but they were all slain by Huo Linger and Lei Linger. With them escorting him, he pierced through the nine flame barriers and saw a sea of magma.


The moment he reached this spot, his pores fully opened, greedily absorbing the spiritual qi of the surroundings. This spiritual qi contained the laws of heaven and earth, and Long Chen could feel his bottleneck loosening.


Within the sea of magma, countless figures were undergoing tribulation, with swirling tribulation clouds above their heads and heavenly lightning tempering their bodies.


“It’s Long Chen!” shouted one expert.


The minute those experts saw Long Chen, they charged over, carrying their tribulation clouds above them.
