Chapter 735 - Star Tomb

Long Chen could find spiritual herbs that nurtured the Martial Soul to heal it.

He suddenly remembered Ling Xi when he heard about the spiritual herbs. Back when she was still with him, Long Chen had to find various spiritual herbs that nurtured the Divine Soul to keep her alive.

The Martial Soul and the Divine Soul were interconnected. They were both types of souls. If there were spiritual herbs that could nurture the Divine Soul, there would be ones that could nurture the Martial Soul too.

I wonder how strong Ling Xi will be after she recovers her strength. She kept saying that she was lazy and didn’t want to study, but it seems that she was quite strong when she was at her peak ...

Long Chen suddenly thought of that.

But now was not the time to figure that out. After fusing the two Emperor Seals, Long Chen’s essence was pretty much gone. Blue smoke covered the area, and Long Chen couldn’t see what had happened to Feng Zhilin.

He was on the brink of death. Surely she was dead too?

Long Chen shuddered and used Sight. If she was still alive, Long Chen would definitely be dead.

He was panicking even when he used Sight.

He was afraid that Feng Zhilin was still standing even after that attack. She was royalty from the Wind clan and had unlimited resources in her hands. That wasn’t something Long Chen could match.

Long Chen was now extremely weak.

His heart was beating rapidly from the pressure.

As he had expected, Feng Zhilin was still alive, but thankfully, she had suffered a grievous injury. She was like Long Chen, unable to fight.

This was slightly out of Long Chen’s expectations. While the fused Emperor Seals were strong, Feng Zhilin’s combination of the Shapeless Whip and the Thousand Seals far exceeded the strength of a regular Emperor-tier martial technique. She had barely managed to resist the explosion, but the shockwave and impact had injured her.

Her face was pale and her veins were all severed. Various wounds were carved on her body and her clothes were tattered, revealing her jade-white skin in various places. She gradually stood up and staggered.

Long Chen was in slightly better condition than her. He had only exhausted his essence and wounded his Martial Soul. But Feng Zhilin was injured gravely and her essence was also exhausted after that last attack.

Long Chen almost killed her, but unfortunately he was back at the Third Earthly Martial Stage, so he dared not risk it.

The cloud of blue sand soon scattered. Long Chen and Feng Zhilin looked at each other. Because he had exhausted his essence, Long Chen’s transformation was undone. This was the first time Feng Zhilin had seen Long Chen’s true form of a handsome youth with strong eyes.

This was the youth that had killed the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator Aunt Snow, and also the one who had injured her. Long Chen had succeeded in all aspects.

Feng Zhilin’s attitude towards Long Chen had changed from underestimating him, to ignoring him, and now to being wary of him. Even though he now only had the strength of a Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivator, his calmness and resolute will showed no weakness. Feng Zhilin was wary that he had other techniques that could make him strong again in an instant.

The two of them stared at each other as they thought about how to kill the other. That was when the two of them were attracted to the same spot on the planet.

After their clash and the explosion, the crust of the planet had been destroyed, leaving behind a massive hole. Both of them saw at the same time that at the end of the hole was a starry sky!

Both of them changed their plans because it was most likely that the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord was hidden inside. Even though both of them had lost their strength and dared not underestimate their opponent, the appearance of the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance drove their greed to make riskier plans.

Long Chen noticed that he was closer to the hole and he started sprinting towards it. Because of the regression in his cultivation, his speed had greatly diminished. Feng Zhilin moved at the same time. She was wounded, so moving at such speeds hurt her a lot, but the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord was just in front of her! She refused to submit to Long Chen.

“Three Thousand Illusions!” Enduring the pain, Feng Zhilin used the last of her essence to generate a single illusion to block Long Chen. The illusion was so fast that Long Chen barely reacted to it when it attacked his arm.

But thanks to Feng Zhilin’s wounds, the force behind the illusion had reduced a lot. It was not enough to kill Long Chen, but it did knock him over. Feng Zhilin gained enough time to enter the hole before he did.

“Shit!” Long Chen was frustrated when he saw Feng Zhilin entering the hole first. He quickly jumped up and destroyed the illusion before jumping in too!

While falling, he sensed that he had become weightless.

He suddenly landed on an object similar to a suspended wooden board. He almost fell to the side from the sudden change in sensation.

He quickly scanned his surroundings and looked at what he was stepping on. It was a mini starplate! The same one that Long Chen had landed on when he first entered the Ancient Graveyard, but this one was only ten meters or so in diameter. The golden runes pulsated from the center like ripples in a lake.

Long Chen checked his surroundings and was amazed by what he saw. There was another starry sky inside the blue planet. He thought the faraway stars were blue jewels.

There was a miniature starry space inside of the blue planet!

When Long Chen landed on the starplate, it started moving towards the center of the planet. Just as he had thought, the center of the planet was hollow.

He then saw another starplate in front of him. It was none other than Feng Zhilin. She revealed an expression of spite and hatred when she saw the starplate formed under Long Chen’s feet when he fell down here.

This was certainly the tomb of the Seven Star Lord. If both her and Long Chen were here, it meant that they would have to fight over it. The Seven Star Lord’s inheritance was even more important than the Martial God Tombstone. Since Long Chen had taken the Martial God Tombstone, then Feng Zhilin had to ensure that he never took the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord!

She had identified Long Chen as a formidable foe!

Her injuries had been caused by Long Chen. She had lost most of her strength and thought Long Chen would kill her, but thankfully, he had run out of essence too.

The two starplates flew silently in the starry sky. Long Chen’s starplate soon caught up to hers and they flew side by side.

Long Chen looked at her warily while she looked at him with hatred.

“I wonder how much more you can fight?” Feng Zhilin’s spiteful voice floated into Long Chen’s ears.

“You can try it when we reach our destination.” Long Chen smiled.

Feng Zhilin was even more wary now. She thought Long Chen was putting up a strong front to fool her, but his sudden increase in strength, killing Aunt Snow, and injuring her had made her realize that Long Chen was indeed strong. Long Chen was actually harmless to her right now, but he had managed to fool her.

Feng Zhilin frowned and dared not attack.

Who is he? He managed to block my Thousand Seals fused with the Shapeless Whip! Is Wu Guangyu the only one who can defeat him?

She was heavily injured and she knew that if she attacked him further, her injuries would get worse. It would be bad if she exposed how weak she was to Long Chen right now. He would find out immediately if she failed to kill him in one strike.

Both of them were extremely exhausted, but because they were both afraid of showing their weakness, neither of them did anything.

In reality, if Feng Zhilin attacked recklessly, she could actually kill Long Chen at the price of worsening her injuries.

Both of them remained silent as the starplates sailed in the infinite starry sky.

The blue planet wasn’t large, so Long Chen soon saw a large blue light in the distance. It grew larger and larger until both of them saw the ancient tomb floating in space!
