Dragon Blooded War God

If Wu Lian and the others wanted to rush into the wooden house, they had to either shake off the Bone Demons or kill them. Everyone smartly chose to shake them off by running faster than the Bone Demons. All of them ran in a frenzied manner, using every dodging technique they had. All four arrived in front of the small wooden house at the same time!

Boom!

The surge of air blasted the wooden house away. It also threw all the rotten tables and chairs in the house into the air. Long Chen focused his gaze and saw that only two objects remained in front of them. One was a one-meter-long black ruler. Black light flowed on its surface, and it radiated a cold aura like a blade.

The black ruler instantly attracted everyone’s attention, and they all looked at it with fiery gazes. Long Chen sensed an energy as strong as the Three Thousand Star Clusters coming from the ruler!

This black ruler was clearly an advanced Emperor-tier divine weapon!

There used to be only one advanced Emperor-tier divine weapon in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, which was the White Lotus Sword.

Subsequently, the Azure Lotus Sword and the Three Thousand Star Clusters were discovered.

Now the black ruler had appeared. Although they did not know what it was called, the black ruler was surely an advanced Emperor-tier weapon. An item like this was even considered a rare treasure in the Royal Territories. Even Sixth or Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage experts would fight to their deaths over a divine weapon like this.

Divine weapons were suited for humans but not demons, so the six demons had not stolen any of them. If they did, how could these mere First and Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators hold on to such precious weapons?

The black ruler quickly attracted everyone’s attention.

There were also two people in the wooden house. Using the Soul Swallowing Gaze, Long Chen could see that they were actually corpses.

They were sitting cross-legged together, and due to the darkness and distance, he could not see their faces. Countless years had passed, yet the corpses’ flesh was still preserved. This showed just how powerful they were when they were alive.

They were experts who were at least as strong as the Purple-Blooded Jiao Dragon.

They were likely a man and a woman, and they were wearing long, light-blue robes. There were several images of the eight trigrams on their sleeves and chests.

Who are these people? Why would they be here?

While Long Chen was mulling over these questions, the others ignored the corpses and started to fight for the advanced Emperor-tier black ruler.

Two corpses and nothing else. Perhaps the black ruler was the weapon they had left behind.

Perhaps because Long Chen had the Three Thousand Star Clusters, he was not interested in the black ruler. He just felt like there was something strange about the corpses. He could sense an aura similar to Wu Lian’s on them.

A very strong and sharp sword Qi!

That’s right! That’s sword Qi!

Long Chen suddenly came to a realization!

He focused his gaze and saw that there was a sword piercing through the eight trigram diagrams!

An image of a sword piercing through the eight trigrams!

This meant that these two people were likely the same as Wu Lian—they were also Sword Warriors who were born with Sword Roots!

They’re Sword Warriors, and their corpses have been preserved …

They were dead and did not seem to contain any secrets. Long Chen merely felt like there was something strange about them. Then he realized that Wu Lian, who was the strongest competitor for the weapon, suddenly resigned from the fight!

She suddenly retreated, then stared at the corpses in shock!

What did she discover? Long Chen was privately startled!

The black ruler was very valuable to Wu Lian. If she took it back to the Divine clan, it would make the clan more prosperous. But why had she abandoned the black ruler to look at the corpses?

After Wu Lian backed off, only Bai Lan, the Long-Bearded Guest, and Ancestor Jin remained. The three of them fought vigorously in the narrow area. Everything happened in a short time, and luck played a huge role in whoever would end up with the black ruler.

Bai Lan was superior in terms of both strength and luck compared to the other two!

Out of the three, he was the only one with an advanced Emperor-tier technique!

It came from the Divine Demon Lord, of course!

The Divine Demon Lord was not a Sword Warrior, and although he had not left a weapon behind, he had a super-strong advanced Emperor-tier technique. The Divine Demon Nine Spins was just one of his normal combat techniques, while his most powerful attack was actually the Divine Demon Lord Punch!

Bai Lan retracted his fist, then punched hard, and the Divine Demon Lord Punch exploded out of his fist. A gust of air flew out like a tidal wave of death. Black, demonic Qi condensed around his fist, forming a powerful, rippling Fist Seal!

“Haargh!” The punch flew and pushed back both the Long-Bearded Guest and Ancestor Jin. Neither of them could block an Emperor-tier technique, so it would be difficult to protect themselves from injury.

Of course, their attacks were also powerful when combined, and they blasted Bai Lan back too. However, it ended up helping Bai Lan because he only needed to stretch out his hand to grab the black ruler. After taking it, he quickly stashed it in his storage ring!

“Guys, I’ll be taking this divine weapon. There are still five more floors to go, and there will surely be countless weapons later. I hope you guys will only be jealous of me in secret.” Bai Lan smiled and shot off quickly, maintaining some distance between himself and others.

By now, the Bone Demons had turned around to chase after them. Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest were immediately immersed in killing them. After they finally finished killing all the Bone Demons, they were left panting. The Long-Bearded Guest said, “Brother Bai, there is no need for formalities. You were able to grab it with your own ability, so we fully accept this outcome. However, we’re going to get the subsequent treasures later.”

“That’s good,” said Bai Lan with a smile.

They were similar in strength, so they were most anxious about being targeted by groups. Bai Lan did not want them to hate and target him over such a small item. It would not be worth it.

However, why had Wu Lian dropped out of the fight? Was she not interested in it at all?

Long Chen watched the two corpses and approached them too. After Bai Lan had retrieved the ruler and they had killed all the Bone Demons, Long Chen suddenly sensed some changes in the corpses!

Starting from their heads, the two corpses turned into ashes that flew and dispersed in the air until nothing was left of them.

First the heads, then the bodies, then the legs.

Up until now, Long Chen and Wu Lian were the only ones who had paid them any attention. Now the rest realized that there was also something special about the corpses.

“What’s that?”

After the corpses dissolved, two stones appeared where their dantians once were.[1]

One was golden, and it was filled with Yang masculine energy and heat!

The other was black, and it was filled with Yin feminine energy and chill!

There was a faint image of a sword on both stones. Although they were stones, they radiated sword Qi that forced everyone several steps back, including Wu Lian, who was the closest!

“Long Chen!”

The most overwhelmed person present was Little Cat in the Primordial Realm!

From Little Cat’s excited tone, he knew that these were extremely precious treasures!

“Sword Soul Stone! Grab it!”

Sword Soul Stone?

Little Cat had told him about this before. Previously, Long Chen had asked how to become a Sword Warrior, and Little Cat had told him that he could if he could get a Sword Soul Stone someone else left behind.

It was very difficult to get one, and not even one in ten thousand cultivators left one behind. Being at a high cultivation level did not guarantee a cultivator could get their hands on one.

Plus, who would leave behind their life’s work for someone else?

Inheriting a Sword Soul Stone was also very risky. If the person was not careful and let the sword Qi leak out, they would be cut to pieces if they weren’t strong enough to suppress it!

Most importantly, who knew when they would die?

Only people who were severely injured and almost dead would even attempt to leave their Sword Soul Stone behind.

Therefore, very few people, even in the Royal Territories, received and inherited a natural Sword Root.

Passing down a Sword Root was very rare.

Long Chen’s nerves were tensed to their limit!

He wanted to be a Sword Warrior so he could comprehend the Sword Path to increase his combat abilities. The golden and black Sword Soul Stones were the keys to becoming one!

When the abilities of a Sword Warrior were added to those of a Dragon Warrior, how strong would he become?

“The Sword Roots in those Sword Soul Stones have comprehended three whole stages of the Sword Path! They can multiply a cultivator’s strength by seven times!” Little Cat cried excitedly as Long Chen charged.

It was no wonder he was so emotional.

If they were Sword Roots left behind by cultivators on Wu Guangyu and Wu Lian’s levels, Little Cat might not have reacted like this.

Long Chen did not hesitate to use Blood Warp immediately!

Bai Lan and the others did not know what they were. Wu Lian was also slightly obstructed by the sword Qi emanating from the stones. However, Long Chen turned into blood-colored light and instantly appeared in front of them!

He grabbed the golden Sword Soul Stone with his scaled hand!

“Get out!” Wu Lian, who was already very close, turned into a ray of white light and charged at him. She immediately reached out to grab the black Sword Soul Stone, and at the same time, a ray of white sword light flew at Long Chen!

It was the White Lotus Sword. If Long Chen were hit, he would not survive.

Therefore, Long Chen was forced to dodge using Blood Warp!
