Chapter 5604 That Little Pretty Boy



Chapter 5604 That Little Pretty Boy



BOOM!


The earth exploded, sending fragments of rock and dust flying in all directions as a figure shot out of the ground.


“Haha, my third vein is complete!”


Long Chen laughed crazily. He had discovered another special energy-rich area—one without an owner. In just an hour, his third astral vein had been successfully condensed.


Just as the Earth Cauldron said, as long as he had enough energy, his rate of advancement would be astonishing.


Still, the process of forming astral veins was grueling. The first vein required the least energy, the second required twice as much, and the third required double that again. Yet, despite the immense energy consumption, the power these veins granted Long Chen left no room for disappointment. His strength multiplied with each completed vein.


The transformation brought by his third astral vein was stunning. Not only had his astral energy reserves grown immensely, but his control over that energy had also improved exponentially. Each new vein increased his control over astral energy by leaps and bounds.


Most importantly, his astral energy reserve had grown by a lot. He could now sustain an all-out battle for an incense stick’s time, which gave him a better sense of security. No matter how many enemies he faced, with such thick reserves, he would be able to attack and defend stalwartly.


Evilmoon’s promise back then still held true: no matter how terrifying Long Chen’s astral energy became, it could contain it. This assurance emboldened Long Chen further. If he could channel the power of all three astral veins into a single attack, who in this realm could possibly stand against him?


Suddenly, faint rumblings reached Long Chen’s ears. Although distant, they were unmistakable. With three astral veins now complete, his senses had grown sharper than ever. Without hesitation, Long Chen transformed into a streak of lightning and sped toward the source of the commotion.


After traveling for a couple of minutes, Long Chen arrived at the scene. Towering pillars of divine light pierced the sky, their radiance illuminating the battlefield below. Angry roars echoed throughout this region, a sign of an intense battle.


As Long Chen drew closer, he was shocked by the sight before him. Countless experts from various races clashed in a ferocious melee. The human race, the Blood race, the devil race, the demon race—dozens of factions were locked in a brutal struggle.


When Long Chen looked at the heart of the battlefield, he saw a pillar of light forming a barrier. Within the barrier was a resplendent suit of battle armor. It seemed almost alive, its energy pulsating within the pillar.


Surrounding the barrier was a golden tide of armored warriors mounted on powerful warhorses. Their disciplined movements and unyielding formations immediately caught Long Chen’s attention.


“It’s them?” Long Chen muttered in surprise.


These cavalry troops were the same ones who had stood beside the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s experts before the opening of the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm.


Long Chen had thought they looked very cool. One of them, a woman named Qingshuang, had even acknowledged him with a response. In a way, it could be said they were acquaintances.


Long Chen quickly spotted Qingshuang amidst their ranks. What caught him off guard was the sight of nine heaven vein dragon qi swirling behind her. Even her warhorse was an eight-vein Heaven Saint spirit beast.


With her horse, she led her troops back and forth, cutting through the battlefield with a ferocious precision that no one could halt.


“The fluctuations from that armor... They’re so similar to their Blood Qi. It must be a relic from their ancestors,” Long Chen surmised, instantly pinpointing the crux of the matter.


Without hesitation, Long Chen plunged into the fray. With a single point of his finger, he pierced the head of a six-vein Heaven Saint from the devil race. After that, his Spiritual Strength erupted as he did a brutal soulsearch. Fragmented memories from his victim flooded into his mind.


From what he gathered, this treasure had appeared several days ago, shielded by a formidable barrier that no one had been able to breach. However, just two hours earlier, the barrier shattered, throwing the gathered experts into a frenzy as they all wanted to take the battle armor for themselves.


It was then that the golden horsemen made their move. Unstoppable and deadly, they charged straight to the location of the battle armor. Yet, to everyone’s dismay, a second barrier had manifested around it, just as impenetrable as the first.


However, based on their prior experience, these experts believed this second barrier could break at any moment. When it did, it would be their chance to seize the armor.


Even through the barrier, the golden armor’s aura was suffocating. It promised unparalleled power to whoever could claim it. If they could master this armor, they would be able to dominate the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm.


As Long Chen charged forward, he could hear the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart. The experts of various races were killing each other like madmen. 


However, Long Chen ignored the chaos around him. Any obstacle in his path was obliterated with a single blow as he carved his way toward the heart of the battlefield. 


Long Chen’s rapid advancement quickly drew the attention of the real experts.


BOOM!


An eight-vein Heaven Saint from the Blood race descended, swinging at Long Chen with a blade imbued with terrifying power. As the leader of the Blood race’s forces, this expert had been leading the charge until Long Chen’s sudden intrusion forced him to intervene.


With starlight encasing his arm, Long Chen raised a hand and caught the blade.


“What?!”


All the Blood race experts cried out in shock. Their leader was an eight-vein Heaven Saint, but his full-power attack was actually caught by a human?


Crack.


Long Chen’s grip tightened, shattering the sword into fragments. The Blood race leader staggered back, his arm numb. He stared at his broken sword, too stunned to move.


“Careful!” His subordinates cried out, but it was too late.


BOOM!


Long Chen hurled the broken sword back at its owner, infusing it with his astral energy. Unable to withstand the immense power, the blade exploded mid-flight, sending fragments of astral light ripping through the Blood race’s ranks. The eight-vein Heaven Saint perished instantly, along with everyone in the blast radius.


Just like that, Long Chen passed through the Blood race’s camp. His devastating display of power drew the attention of every faction on the battlefield.


At the core of the battlefield, Qingshuang noticed Long Chen and her eyes widened in recognition. 


“It’s him?!” she exclaimed.


“It’s that little pretty boy!” exclaimed one of the warriors by her side.


“Don’t spout nonsense!” Qingshuang snapped, her expression darkening. She hadn’t forgotten what had happened to the last person who called him that.


But there was no time for distractions. Glaring at Long Chen, she shouted decisively, “The Dark Golden Battle Armor is our ancestor’s relic! We must claim it, no matter the cost! Anyone who dares to stand in our way is our enemy! Kill!”


Her frosty determination filled the air as she turned her full attention to Long Chen.
