Chapter 1210

hapter 1210 The Chicken Flies Away, the Eggs Break

The saber-image was like blood cutting through the air . A sensation of death caused all of Dan Chu’s hair to stand on end .

“Raging Flame Heaven Raising Shield!” roared Dan Chu, a violet flame shield condensing before him .

BOOM! A heaven-shaking explosion erupted, and flame waves spread in every direction . Long Chen was actually sent flying .

Long Chen was shocked . What terrifying flame energy, what a powerful flame magical art, and what refined control! There were rapid fluctuations coming from the shield that had caused him to rebound .

“Be suppressed!” Dan Chu’s expression was dark . Upon forming hand seals, the surrounding flame prison unleashed countless flame serpents .

Those flame serpents shot toward Long Chen, but just as he unleashed this move, Dan Chu’s expression changed . In his fury, he had forgotten that Long Chen still had his powerful flame dragon .

The huge flame dragon roared and devoured tens of thousands of the flame serpents in one gulp .

Those flame serpents were all three thousand meters long, while the flame dragon was thirty thousand meters long . But Huo Long had awakened an innate ability, and its mouth was like a black hole, twisting space, allowing it to devour all those flame serpents in one gulp .

“You really are courting death!” Dan Chu’s expression sank . He was just about to control the devoured flame serpents to attack the flame dragon from the inside when he suddenly sensed that they had disappeared .

At the same time, he was infuriated to find that yet another portion of his flame energy had been consumed . He was unable to sense it .

Then when he thought about it, it was completely bizarre that this flame dragon was capable of devouring his energy . Those flame serpents contained his Spiritual Strength . They should have exploded and destroyed the flame dragon once they were consumed .

But once something was devoured by Huo Long, Long Chen could instantly draw it into the primal chaos space . And the primal chaos space had never disappointed him .

The flame serpents had all of Dan Chu’s Spiritual Strength erased from them when they entered the primal chaos space . Becoming ownerless objects, they were easily devoured by Huo Long .

But these flames were too powerful, and Huo Long was unable to instantly refine them . It returned to Long Chen’s arm .

Long Chen sensed his spiritual yuan rising once more . Huo Long’s gulp hadn’t just devoured the flame energy, it had also devoured a large amount of spiritual yuan, allowing Long Chen to recover even more .

“As expected, you have to have some treasure on you! Hand it over!” Dan Chu suddenly spread his hands, and a golden spear appeared between them .

Shockingly, this golden spear was not a true martial item, but formed of flames . Dan Chu was actually in control of a kind of golden flame as well .

The spear pierced toward Long Chen, causing space to release explosive sounds . Heaven and earth shook .

BOOM! Blooddrinker slashed onto the spear, surprisingly causing a metallic clashing sound . Then space exploded .

“Bastard, you actually stole my spiritual yuan as well!” This attack caused both sides to be blown back . Dan Chu was shocked and infuriated . He sensed his own aura within the spiritual yuan Long Chen was releasing . He was shocked that Long Chen had such a bizarre technique and furious that he had actually been duped . If he had gone all-out at the beginning, he’d have easily handled him .

But after Long Chen’s stalling tactic, a great deal of his spiritual yuan had been stolen . Moreover, after Huo Long had devoured his flame serpents, he had forty percent of his spiritual yuan stolen by it .

For Long Chen to use his own spiritual yuan against him made him want to explode . Thinking of Long Chen’s act and how he had fallen for it, he knew Long Chen had to have been laughing at him inside for being an idiot .

“DIE!” Dan Chu roared, runes lighting up all over his body . The manifestation of a rank eight Celestial appeared, and raging flames wrapped around him, turning him into a flaming battle god .

“Divine ring, Battle Armor, Flame Support!”

Long Chen also unleashed his power . His divine ring manifested and four stars appeared in his eyes . At the same time, flames also wrapped around Long Chen . This was a flame technique he had learned from the Xuantian Catalog .

When fighting against normal people, it didn’t have too much use . But it was a must-have technique for fighting alchemists . Without the protection of his own flames, there was no way to fight in close range without being roasted .

Seeing the flames around Long Chen, Dan Chu almost coughed up blood . Those were violet flames that looked almost identical to his own flame . The fluctuations were just somewhat weaker .

Long Chen hadn’t just stolen his spiritual yuan, he had also stolen the power of his Earth Flame . Previously, Long Chen’s Earth Flame had been trash in Dan Chu’s eyes, but now, it was only somewhat weaker than his . He felt like he was about to go crazy .

“You shameless little thief!” Dan Chu could no longer remain calm . His expression was twisted in anger .

“Idiot, if I’m a little thief, then you’re a big thief . What’s the difference? You’re allowed to forcibly take what’s mine, but I can’t sneakily take what’s yours? Is your head only full of shit?” taunted Long Chen .

Although Long Chen was insulting him, inside, he was extremely shocked . This Soul Devouring Violet Flame was truly worthy of being ranked thirty-sixth on the Earth Flame Rankings . It was incredibly powerful . While this Earth Flame raged, Long Chen could sense it burning at the very heavens . He felt the world’s energy being extracted by the flame and converted to his spiritual yuan .

With the divine ring and the Soul Devouring Violet Flame’s power, he would be able to recover his spiritual yuan at a shocking pace . He estimated that instead of taking several days like before, he would only need a few hours to fully recover .

What Long Chen didn’t know was that this Soul Devouring Violet Flame was a treasure countless alchemists would long for . Other than just its immense power, it also had an innate ability to devour heaven and earth’s energy, allowing alchemists to recover their spiritual yuan and Spiritual Strength very quickly .

With the Soul Devouring Violet Flame, alchemists wouldn’t need to worry about running out of spiritual yuan or Spiritual Strength for alchemy . Furthermore, they wouldn’t need to be afraid of a long fight if they had it .

“Shameless little thief, die!” Dan Chu was growing insane from anger . He was the one most aware of the Soul Devouring Violet Flame’s power . Long Chen’s almost exhausted spiritual yuan was growing stronger and stronger . This had all been stolen from Dan Chu .

BOOM!

Dan Chu’s golden spear smashed toward Long Chen . Violet flames appeared on Blooddrinker as Long Chen slashed it at the spear .

Space exploded and wildly twisted . Their weapons were tightly locked against each other .

“This is your true core flame? It’s not bad . ” Blocking the golden spear and unleashing all his power, Long Chen could sense a mountain-toppling power coming from it .

This golden spear was like real metal, yet also not . It was a kind of flame that had been condensed to the pinnacle . It was extremely strange .

This spear seemed to be hiding a volcano . Endless power was pouring out of it .

With Long Chen’s immense power, to not be able to send an alchemist flying showed that this golden flame was definitely not ordinary .

“You despicable little thief, you have no qualification to ask what it is!” roared Dan Chu . He suddenly sent a kick at Long Chen’s stomach . Flames formed a sharp point on his foot . If struck, Long Chen would be left with a hole in his abdomen .

Long Chen sneered . With just a glance, he could tell that this fellow had no combat experience . Just as Dan Chu’s foot was about to touch him, he fiercely pushed his saber forward .

Originally they were equally matched, but because Dan Chu had sent out a kick, it caused his upper body to lose strength . As a result, Long Chen could push him away, and his kick missed .

“Idiot, I admire your courage to fight close range against me . ” As Dan Chu’s foot flew by Long Chen’s chest, Long Chen’s foot made a graceful arc through the air to land almost perfectly on Dan Chu’s exposed crotch .

Bang!

The sound of something like an egg exploding rang out . Dan Chu shot back like a shooting star . At the same time, he let out a mournful shriek . Slamming into his own prison, an explosive sound rang out .

That place was the root of carrying on a cultivator’s ancestral line . This place could not be strengthened through cultivation unless you no longer cared about having progeny .

Human cultivation allowed one to escape from old age and death, to become a god or immortal . In itself, cultivation was fundamentally a way to change the restrictions of the world .

Reproduction was the essence of the Human Dao, while cultivation was fundamentally a process of comprehending the Heavenly Daos and escaping the Human Dao .

During this process, the only thing maintained of the Human Dao was the root of reproduction . Unless someone felt that they were just on the verge of becoming a god or immortal, they wouldn’t abandon that reproductive ability .

Doing such a thing would require the courage of cutting off all the paths of retreat . But if they failed in the end, they would never get another son capable of carrying on their inheritance .

As for cultivators who didn’t become a god or immortal, once they reached their limit, they could continue leaving behind future generations, passing on their own powerful bloodlines . Then their descendants would be essentially standing on their shoulders as they cultivated .

Those descendants would have better starting points than others and would reach the peak of the martial path easier . Their accomplishments could surpass their ancestors before they once more passed on their bloodlines . In the end, someone might be able to become a god or immortal .

That was why basically all cultivators would keep their reproductive abilities in contrast to their cultivation, which was why that spot was a fatal weak point for almost all male cultivators .

This kick caused Dan Chu to lose the chicken and lose his eggs[1] . Even his pubic bone was almost broken by this kick . Without his Pill Flame protecting himself, he would have exploded from the impact .

Long Chen couldn’t help being shocked that he hadn’t killed him . Just now, he had even used his King item boots .

But then seeing Dan Chu’s broken robes had exposed a golden soft armor on his body, he suddenly realized that he wasn’t the only one who possessed special King items .

Without giving him any time to breathe, Long Chen shot after Dan Chu .

[1] This is an expression 雞飛蛋打, literally meaning the chicken flies away and the eggs are broken . It means to lose everything . But in this case, the eggs are his testicles, and the chicken is his penis, as it’s slang for penis .
