Dragon War God

Chapter 734 - Two Seals as One

He only had one more chance to attack. If it failed to kill Feng Zhilin, he would be the one who ended up dead. If he killed Feng Zhilin, he would be able to obtain the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance too.

Long Chen was still unfamiliar with how to use the final attack, because he just learned it, but he had no choice but to risk it.

Since that was the case, Long Chen calmed down and focused on using the Blood Devouring Domain to restrict Feng Zhilin’s movements. Feng Zhilin, on the other hand, had just avoided Long Chen’s Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal. She was staring dumbfoundedly at Long Chen, and fear crept up into her heart.

But her viciousness stifled her fear.

He’s already on his last legs, but I still have one final technique. He’s not on my level. He might be experienced, but he doesn’t have the resources from the Nine Great Clans like me ... Feng Zhilin took a deep breath and revealed a maniacal expression as she glared at Long Chen with bloodshot eyes.

Long Chen appeared much calmer than her.

Just then, Feng Zhilin took out the Shapeless Whip from her Storage Ring. Long Chen couldn’t see it, but he still sensed that it was there.

Does Feng Zhilin have another technique? Long Chen squinted.

Feng Zhilin smiled as she stared at him. She said only one word. “Die.”

She then swung her whip. Feng Zhilin was fast, but Long Chen was even more shocked to see her use the Thousand Seals again. This time, however, she was using the Shapeless Whip as a medium! The thousand arms behind her were all wielding a Shapeless Whip!

A thousand arms, half on her left and the other half on the right. But this time, the five hundred arms on her right were wielding Shapeless Whips. Even a single one was enough to force one of the twins from the Gold clan, a cultivator at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage, to the brink of death. If those five hundred whips hit Long Chen, his body would be completely disintegrated!

She was the only one capable of using this technique in the Wind clan. It was the ultimate technique that she had come up with herself. A regular Ninth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator would die under her most prized technique. It was also the technique that allowed her to beat the other geniuses of her age.

The Thousand Seals combined with the Shapeless Whip. It was a devastating fusion of techniques that only Feng Zhilin could use.

She was indeed a genius!

Five hundred Shapeless Whips swung down at the same time. The dense bunch of whips ripped the wind apart and struck fear in those that heard the sound. Long Chen looked up and noticed that the entire sky was covered in Shapeless Whips! What was horrifying was that the whips were all invisible. Long Chen could sense the power coming off them but couldn’t see them!

Facing such a fearsome attack, Long Chen closed his eyes. A technique that covered such a large area would affect his focus, so he had to do so. It was not an act of giving up. At the same time, he readied himself to use both the Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal and the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal at the same time.

This was his strongest technique.

But a fusion of these two techniques was risky. It was the first time Long Chen would be using it, so he wasn’t sure if he would succeed. He was afraid that it would fail in front of Feng Zhilin’s attack.

However, he had no choice but to risk it.

Under the blanket of whips, Long Chen’s essence surged one last time. He moved all of his essence into his right palm and condensed all of the essence of an Eighth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator into his tiny Martial Meridian.

Kaboom!

Long Chen felt like his Martial Meridian was on the verge of exploding as the Blue Devil Flame and the Profound Golden Soul circled each other inside it. Under Long Chen’s control, both objects established a connection with the Five Emperor Seals. The Scarlet Emperor Seal and the Golden Emperor Seal lit up at the same time and emitted a very strong light.

Kaboom!

The combined seals flew upwards under Long Chen’s control. At the same time, Feng Zhilin’s attacks were already dangerously close to him.

He still has another technique?! At first, Feng Zhilin did not think that the fused seals were anything dangerous. At most it would be a technique that combined the strength of the two seals, but she soon realized her folly. The combination of two seals was not just a simple addition.

Both of their strongest attacks clashed in the air.

Long Chen’s fused seals had far more power than what a regular Eighth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator could output.

He felt his body being drained completely. He was currently sitting on the ground in a daze as he awaited the result.

This was his final struggle.

The Shapeless Whip clashed with the fused Emperor Seals. The Shapeless Whip was extremely strong. While Feng Zhilin had five hundred seals to complement it, the five hundred Shapeless Whips’ attacks far exceeded what the five hundred seals could do. At first, the impact from the five hundred Shapeless Whips forced back Long Chen’s fused Emperor Seals. Feng Zhilin smiled when she saw that, because it meant Long Chen had lost! But her smile soon vanished.

The two fused Emperor Seals, under the pressure of Feng Zhilin’s attack, suddenly exploded. Because of how condensed their energies were, the explosion was ridiculously powerful. Long Chen felt the entire planet shake for a certain period of time.

The planet’s orbit even moved sideways from the explosion in the air. The power behind the explosion was nothing to scoff at!

Boom! Crackle! Crash!

The deafening explosion sounded continuously. This time, it was Long Chen’s turn to laugh. Even though the Shapeless Whip was strong, Long Chen’s fused Emperor Seals were stronger. The explosion swept towards Feng Zhilin and destroyed everything in its path!

The planet stopped quaking after the force of the two Emperor Seals diminished. Their clash had ripped the planet’s crust open, and blue smoke rose into the air. Long Chen couldn’t see past the smoke without Sight.

He didn’t have enough power to see what had happened to Feng Zhilin. After using the fusion of the two Emperor Seals, he had burned through his essence and exhausted the power of Blood Sacrifice. His essence quickly diminished until he only had as much as someone at the Third Earthly Martial Stage.

Once at the Earthly Martial Realm, the reduction in essence wasn’t considered a downgrade. If it was, Long Chen could just consume the blood essence of a few beasts to replenish it. The key item in the Earthly Martial Realm was his Martial Soul.

Long Chen realized that a reduction in his cultivation also meant a change in his martial Soul. His Martial Soul had started to show dragon scales when he reached the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage, but now they were slowly fading away. His Martial Soul also appeared wounded and he felt dizzy.

The Martial Soul hadn’t degraded, but was wounded. Still, it brought around the same effect, causing him to only be able to control a similar amount of essence as a Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivator. He could only become a Fifth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator again after he healed his Martial Soul.

That was one of the reasons why he dared not use Blood Sacrifice all this time. He wasn’t sure what would happen to his Martial Soul if his cultivation regressed, but now he knew that it would get wounded.

Thankfully, his Martial Soul wouldn’t regress.

The Martial Soul grew according to Long Chen’s comprehension of martial arts. His comprehension and understanding of his own path of his martial arts still existed. Using Blood Sacrifice meant that his Martial Soul would get wounded.

He felt dizzy and his body was limp. Long Chen was so weak that anyone could come and kill him now. “Little Cat, do you know how I can heal my Martial Soul?”

Little Cat was indeed the person that understood Long Chen’s body the best. He knew about the powers of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon as well as Long Chen’s condition. However, he wasn’t sure what would happen to the Martial Soul when Long Chen used Blood Sacrifice, but now he had found out.

“I suppose this is the best possible scenario for you. If your Martial Soul really regressed, you would have to cultivate and comprehend your own martial arts again. Essentially, you would’ve had to start over, but if it's just a wounded Martial Soul, you can probably use some spiritual herbs to heal it.”
