Chapter 7258 Tenth-Heavenstage Sovereign Lord

The Heaven-Earth runes engraved on the Demon Moon Cauldron quivered. The Sun Flame was burning inside of it, and a group of Golden Crows were flying around the Demon Moon Cauldron. A fist-sized clump of blood was burning inside.

“As expected of a Heavenly Sovereign’s essence blood. It lasted two hours under the Sun Flame’s power before starting to break down.”

The Demon Moon Cauldron had inherited the runes of the Heaven Earth Cauldron. Adding on the Sun Flame’s power, and even the toughest immortal metals wouldn’t last three breaths before melting. Yet this clump of essence blood had lasted two full hours. That shocked Long Chen, but it also gave him hope.

With a thought, he increased the power of the fire. After six hours, the essence blood finally decomposed. Two substances floated to the top and sank to the bottom, leaving a drop of incomparably pure essence blood in the middle.

The top part was a flawless amethyst color filled with life energy, while the bottom part gave off a sinister aura, as if one look would infect a person’s soul.

“As expected, the Cult of Mara went all the way with the outsider devils. This bottom part is the outsider Grand Dao power....”

Long Chen took out three bottles and split the three substances apart. He then eyed the bottle filled with the outsider Grand Dao power for a long time.

“I refuse to believe it!”

Long Chen was stubborn. He refined it for seven days and nights, and just as he was running out of patience and about to give up, something finally happened.

The cluster of outsider Grand Dao power looked like a cloud of gas in the beginning, but it slowly liquefied, until he had three drops as black as ink.

“So this is the essence of the outsider Grand Dao. It contains pure Grand Dao power. But this Grand Dao power does not match this world...” Long Chen sank into thought as he stared at the three drops.

This was something that the heavenly geniuses of the nine heavens couldn’t possibly use. Conversely, it would be a supreme treasure for the outsider experts.

“It’s useless to Cang Lu. I should just save it for now. Maybe there will be some use if I end up forming relations with some of the outsiders.”

He was suddenly struck by a thought. The original devil race used to be an outsider race. In other words, the outsider devils were not necessarily all enemies. This thing was of incalculable value, and perhaps it could be put to good use in the future.

Putting it away, Long Chen then turned his attention to the essence blood. It had been purified and was now like flawless jade. The blood was full of tiny runes, so small that they couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

“This essence blood contains the memories of his body. If I refine it into a Barrier-Breaking Pill, there’s a ninety percent chance that a peak Divine Sovereign can become a half-step Heavenly Sovereign, or even a quasi Heavenly Sovereign.”

A so-called quasi Heavenly Sovereign was someone who had the aura of a Heavenly Sovereign, but could not unleash the true power of the Heavenly Sovereign realm. Even so, they could trample half-step Heavenly Sovereigns.

“This essence blood is also priceless” Long Chen put the essence blood away carefully. This was definitely a treasure.

He then turned to the last portion. It was shining brightly and constantly shifting between liquid and gaseous, as if manifesting the laws of the Grand Dao.

“This is the Grand Dao essence of the nine heavens and ten lands, a supreme treasure for nourishing a Dao-seed!”

Long Chen’s heart quivered. The cluster of essence was slowly absorbed into his Dantian. The nine-leaf golden lotus quivered, and the essence immediately surged towards it. The lotus rapidly grew, and a tenth leaf appeared right before Long Chen’s eyes.

At the same time, Long Chen felt the shackles on his cultivation shatter. An enormous amount of karmic luck stored in the primal chaos space poured into his body.

A starry river appeared around him, and Grand Dao power weaved throughout it. Long Chen’s aura surged explosively. He hastily formed hand seals to suppress his aura; he hadn’t expected to suddenly advance to the tenth Heavenstage! He was in a private room surrounded by formations, but if this terrifying aura erupted, this room and the formations insulating it would be destroyed!

“I can’t control it...”

Sadly, his attempt to bring it under control came too late. He thus clenched his teeth and made a quick decision. Starlight appeared beneath his feet, and he took a single step forward.

If there was no specific target when using the Star Cloud Steps, the distance of the teleportation was greatly increased. It was like a supreme long-distance transportation formation with no fixed direction. In order to get as far away as possible, Long Chen used the technique at full power, and he had just advanced. Furthermore, following the appearance of the tenth leaf, his astral essence had grown explosively as well. This one step caused even the laws of heaven and earth to shift.

Long Chen felt that the aura of the world had changed, but he had no time to observe it closely. His own wild aura gushed out; he wasn’t able to contain it for a moment longer.

The next moment, he saw giant mountains crumbling and felt countless lives being extinguished. And that was not all; even after everything around him had been turned to ruins, his wild aura kept blasting away the rubble.

The scent of blood made Long Chen hastily look around him. He saw a dozen figures staring at him in shock and fury. All of them exuded devil qi, and they were all half-step Heavenly Sovereigns! But even these half-step Heavenly Sovereigns were being pushed back by Long Chen’s terrifying aura; even their protective divine light had been shattered!

“A human? You bastards dare to collude with the human race?!” roared one of the half-step Heavenly Sovereigns.

“Collude with the human race?”

Long Chen was startled. He hastily looked around to see who this person was talking to.
