Chapter 741 – Three Thousand Star Clusters

After putting the blue rock in the Primordial Realm, Long Chen took a deep breath and went towards the door. Bright, blue starlight leaked out of the gaps around the door; it was beautiful.

Judging from the constellation map, Long Chen roughly guessed what the Seven Star Lord had left behind. The Seven Star Manual was one thing, while the other was his former weapon. Of course, the weapon contained the combat technique he formerly used!

This combat technique was naturally of the Emperor-tier, as well as the weapon. It was likely ranked one step above the Shapeless Whip, which was powerful enough to be the ultimate treasure of the Wind clan. What he received was even more awesome than the Shapeless Whip.

The weapon was behind the door.

At this moment, he only knew the name of the weapon. It was a magnificent name—Three Thousand Star Clusters.

Three Thousand Star Clusters!

Long Chen couldn’t guess what kind of weapon it was based on its name, but a faint silhouette appeared in his mind. He was a powerful cultivator standing amidst countless stars in the sky, wearing blue armor that shone with starlight. In his hand was a two-meter-long weapon, though Long Chen did not know what it was. He had previously used the Azure Dragon Halberd, but he could not identify what this was.

Perhaps it was a spear!

The sword and the spear were not too different. Long Chen had already learned how to use a sword and a halberd. If the Three Thousand Star Domain was a spear, then it was great news as he could boost his Five Emperor Seals with a powerful attack from a weapon!

This would be another item he could rely on in battle!

To be honest, the Seven Star Manual alone already overwhelmed Long Chen. The divine weapon and the attack technique had come as surprises. He did not know what the other Seven Lords had left behind, but the Seven Star Lord had left behind his attack, his body tempering and body combat techniques, plus his weapon. This was probably more than what the other inheritances contained.

Three Thousand Star Clusters.

Filled with emotion, Long Chen gently touched the cold, blue door and then pulled it open. It was only gently closed, so it took little strength to completely pull it open. When it was fully open, he stepped forward and stood at the entrance!

He peered inside!

His field of vision dramatically expanded. Right before him was an endless expanse of stars, like he had gone through the star tomb and landed outside. He thought he had exited the tomb at first, but upon closer inspection, he realized that he had not. He was still inside the tomb, but this vast space was the largest section of it.

Countless stars hung in the sky, forming clusters against the pitch-black backdrop. Long Chen roughly counted and realized that there were about three thousand of these shining blue clusters!

Are these three thousand star clusters related to the weapon?

When the question popped into his mind, he felt an ancient aura surging towards himself. The three thousand star clusters moved quickly before his eyes. They slowly gathered in front of him at an unknown distance into shining characters!

“Seven Star Lord!”

These characters radiated a mighty aura. Long Chen felt as if he saw a master standing proudly in the sky behind them!

Then the clusters moved again and formed another set of characters, though this time, Long Chen was not surprised because they formed the phrase “Three Thousand Star Clusters!”

The shining sky was not the real sky. After the countless stars formed the characters, they suddenly dispersed and endless starlight flew at him, as if the whole night sky was going to him. Three thousand star clusters aggregated at a point around ten meters away from him and slowly materialized into an item two meters long.

Long Chen watched emotionally.

He knew that they were forming the Three Thousand Star Clusters weapon!

Time passed quickly. The stars finally aggregated into a long, blue spear with beautiful, flowing lights. This was the most beautiful weapon he had ever seen.

“Is this the Three Thousand Star Clusters?” Long Chen smiled widely. He realized that the weapon was radiating the mighty power of stars, which was countless times more powerful than the Shapeless Whip. The spear’s handle was smooth and it was a pretty blue, similar to iron. The tip of the spear was very sharp and shone blue. It evoked fear in any onlooker.

Long Chen stabilized his emotions and then went towards the Three Thousand Star Clusters. He knew that the Seven Star Lord was long dead, but Long Chen had won his approval after comprehending the Big Dipper Step. Next, all he had to do was take the weapon.

The nearer he got, the stronger its aura felt. It was a divine weapon that could not be used by an ordinary person. The immense pressure coming from it resembled the previous domain’s power, preventing him from getting closer!

If he did not have the Big Dipper Step, he would not have been able to get the Three Thousand Star Clusters. Using the Big Dipper Step, he easily approached it. Ripples of blue light flowed on its surface, making it beautiful. This was his first time seeing something so magnificent. Of course, it was no simple weapon. Based on the glint from its spearhead, countless people had surely fallen victim to it.

Long Chen slowly reached out, then gently held the Three Thousand Star Clusters. Suddenly, an icy chill spread through his arm. It was like a thorn trying to prick him so he would let go.

But he did not let go. He chose to bear the intense pain instead. The Three Thousand Star Clusters also had its own pride. Ordinary people did not have the right to own it.

Rays of blue starlight spread over his body until he was covered with shining starlight. He had become a star himself, shining with bright light.

“This weapon has generated a sense of self-governance. You may choose to drip your blood on it for it to recognize you as its master. That way, you will add your blood seal to the Three Thousand Star Clusters,” explained Little Cat.

Long Chen hummed in response. No one in the world was better than him at controlling their own blood. He only needed to generate an intention, and his blood flowed out of his hand and into the Three Thousand Star Clusters, which absorbed it.

Long Chen took the opportunity to merge his essence into the weapon. He could slowly sense the world within the Three Thousand Star Clusters. It was a vast, starry world with nothing but countless spinning stars.

When his blood was completely absorbed into the Three Thousand Star Clusters, an additional blood-red line appeared on the spear, which twisted until it turned into a faint, blood-red dragon on the handle. From this, Long Chen realized that he now had complete control over the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

It was as if it was now part of his arm. Previously, he had used the same method for the Profound Golden Soul to recognize him as its master. Of course, the Three Thousand Star Clusters contained much more power than the Profound Golden Soul.

He felt like with the Three Thousand Star Clusters in his hand, he could even fight cultivators at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage. However, just a simple wave of the Three Thousand Star Clusters required an unimaginable amount of essence.

Now that I have the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, the time has finally come for me to rise to glory. The most important thing now is to rejuvenate my Martial Soul, which is currently injured. If I don’t, the Martial God Tombstone will be useless to me!

Long Chen was clear about his current condition.

The most important thing was for his Martial Soul to recover, then he could tend to other matters.

It did not matter if it was Feng Zhilin, Wu Guangyu, or the masters of the Nine Great Clans. Long Chen would show them that the competition in the Ancient Graveyard did not only involve the nine clans, but also him!

Of course, his true objective was to pass through the Ancient Graveyard to the Royal Territory!

His short-term goal was to get as powerful as possible in the Ancient Graveyard. The Seven Star Lord’s inheritance was not enough. He still had one more trump card in his hands, which was the Prismatic Key!

I wonder if the treasure of the Five Emperors truly exists.

Long Chen’s lips curled into an excited smile.

He did not dwell on this matter. He looked at the shining blue Three Thousand Star Clusters.

“Return!” he said gently, and the Three Thousand Star Clusters exploded into three thousand dots of starlight, which merged with his body. The tiny stars merged with his skin. He felt like he was wearing a full suit of armor as the toughness of his body became comparable to an advanced King-tier body tempering technique.
