Chapter 5635 Ultimate Form?

“The Emperor reverse scale has appeared?” Long Chen was startled. Just as he was about to ask about it, the world shuddered. As the world shook, an ancient and desolate aura rose from a far off distant location.

Even from this immense distance, Long Chen could clearly sense the supreme divine might contained within this aura. This aura was sacred and majestic. It was an aura that made people’s souls shake.

In a few breaths’ time, a ripple reached him, covering all of heaven and earth. The moment it passed over his body, Long Chen’s dragon blood was set ablaze. His Dragon Blood Battle Armor automatically activated.

His dragon scales quivered, and divine light continuously flashed from them. Long Chen felt an icy killing intent.

“Senior, this is…!” Long Chen was shocked. Why would the Emperor reverse scale be releasing killing intent? Did the Emperor reverse scale want to kill him?

“The Emperor reverse scale has already escaped the control of my will. To use your human race’s understanding, you can say that it is an independent body with its own personality. The reason you sense killing intent is because you have the same bloodline source. This blood can be considered its past. In order to obtain its freedom, it severed its past,” said the Dragon Sovereign.

Long Chen’s heart shook. Did that mean that if he encountered the Emperor reverse scale, there would be a battle to the death between them?

Just then, the void exploded. A divine bird tore through the void, leaving countless astral winds in its wake.

This divine bird was releasing waves of divine light. Nine heaven vein dragon qis could be seen around it, with four giving off peculiar fluctuations. It was another peak expert.

It didn’t even look at Long Chen as it flew over his head. It ignored the Jiuli Divine Stele that was not too far as well. Its enormous body vanished quickly. It was headed towards the Emperor reverse scale’s fluctuations. 

“Let’s go!”

Long Chen glanced back at the Jiuli Divine Stele. It was now starting to grow dim. It was showing signs that it was sinking into the earth once more. It seemed it wouldn’t be long before it was gone.

Lightning wings spread on Long Chen’s back, and he transformed into a streak of light headed in that direction as well.

Long Chen had flown for an incense stick’s worth of time when the void suddenly rumbled. A streak of light came from behind him.

This was a nine-vien Heaven Saint devil bird. Its heaven vein dragon qi was ignited, and it exuded torrential devil qi. All the land beneath its wings collapsed.

“Die!”

The devil bird was so fast that it instantly caught up to Long Chen. It shot right at him and opened its mouth. An enormous wind blade sliced towards him.

BOOM!

Astral light flowed on Long Chen’s fist, and he swung it back. The wind blade shattered.

The devil bird was astonished. It hadn’t expected a solitary human to possess such terrifying power. It had actually misjudged.

Its sharp claws reached towards Long Chen. Despite its enormous body, it wasn’t the slightest bit awkward or clumsy. It was incredibly fast and agile.

Its sharp claws ripped a giant hole in the space where Long Chen had been. Long Chen was gone.

“Foolish human.”

The devil bird snorted, thinking that Long Chen had just been wiped out of existence.

Just as it sneered, it felt a burst of pain in its soul. Its head sank, and an icy voice rang out.

“If you don’t want to die, you’ll obediently listen. If you want to die, just say the word.”

The devil bird was astonished. Its soul was completely sealed. It was like an invisible hand was glutching it, and a single hand could crush it.

It quivered, shocked and enraged. But with its life in Long Chen’s hands, it didn’t dare to resist.

“Bring me to where I want, and I’ll set you free,” said Long Chen.

“Hmph, do you think the human race’s word is worth crap?” raged the devil bird.

“Do you have a choice?” asked Long Chen coldly.

The devil bird fell silent. Ultimately, under Long Chen’s threat, it helplessly carried him forward.

Long Chen hadn’t been rushing at full speed precisely because he was waiting for an opportunity to get some expert crary him.

That way, he could use the time traveling to comprehend Jiuli divine runes. After his fight with Long Zaiye, Long Chen felt immense pressure.

Long Zaiye’s power had increased so much after comprehending those Jiuli divine runes. But he hadn’t comprehended anything. This was a dangerous state.

Long Chen sat on the devil bird’s back. The Defense character appeared. The three thousand stars in his Dantian quivered slightly. The faintest light started to come from them.

These stars were still in a slumber. Just getting them to light up was difficult. This was already their limit.

Long Chen concentrated himself on the Defense rune in front of him. This was the first original Jiuli immortal character he had learned.

It was formed of thirty-six symbols. These thirty-six signals affected each other, and while it could look like a character, it could also look like a painting. As its parts flowed, it vaguely looked like it was backed by some mysterious formation.

Various transformations continuously appeared. It gradually grew more and more complicated. Long Chen tested out moving the first symbol’s position and how it affected the entire divine rune’s power. Then he tested the second, third, fourth…

Long Chen found that this divine rune had endless transformations. Although it was just a simple Defense divine rune, it had multiple meanings. It could mean to block, but also to unify forces against one threat. When it was defending, the shield it formed could seal heaven and earth.

When it meant to unify against one threat, the thirty-six symbols were like thirty-six experts that were led by Long Chen’s will. They could form various formations capable of both offense and defense.

Long Chen was immersed within these boundless transformations. It felt like he was seeing a corner of the boundless universe. Through this one corner, he peered at the profound secrets of the nine heavens and ten lands.

As the divine rune in front of him continuously changed form, the power of heaven and earth also began to change due to its influence. It was as if this one character could wield the power of the ten thousand Daos.

Long Chen forgot about everything else. He forgot about himself. He forgot about his goal. He was entrusted in these free and beautiful transformations. This was the optimal state to comprehend this divine rune.

When this divine rune transformed into one state, the starry sea in his Dantian suddenly quivered slightly. Long Chen instantly grasped this transformation.

Long Chen’s eyes suddenly flew open. He changed his hand seal, and the Defense divine rune froze in this state.

His starry sea once more quivered. The three thousand stars seemed to be pulled in by some kind of power.

Long Chen had a thought, and sent this Defense divine rune into his starry sea.

The three thousand stars once more quivered. They then surrounded it. They slowly circulated around it, forming a barrier enveloping it.

“Could it be that this is its ultimate form?” wondered Long Chen.

“Watch out!”

Just then, a startled cry rang out that made him open his eyes. A giant claw covered in scales fell upon Long Chen and the devil bird.
