Chapter 927 – Taming The Beast

Wow. This brat is crazy arrogant.

Everyone was privately shocked.

However, being so bold in front of Huang Qiong was just a death wish to them.

“Not bad!” Huang Qiong leaped off the ground and shot at Long Chen.

He exuded so much power that he ended up pushing Butcher into the air.

The other people were also thrown into the air by Huang Qiong’s powerful aura. Long Chen was the only one directly facing his attack.

“Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage, domain!”

A domain that felt practically solid pressed on Long Chen’s body. It was a complete domain that exerted absolute force. Long Chen felt like a mountain was pressing on his head so hard that he could not move.

“Break!”

In that short moment, Long Chen clenched his teeth and activated the Dragon Soul Transformation, the Yin-Yang Sword Soul, and the Five Emperor Palm. In the face of a peak-level opponent, he was forced to instantly activate everything he had.

The Emperor Vanquishers appeared on Long Chen’s hands, and he threw two punches. Due to the gloves’ destructive force, the domain trembled once more. Long Chen also received extra protection from the Underworld Armor. In summary, Long Chen received all types of boosts to his abilities.

“What’s that?” Huang Qiong’s eyes flashed with greed when he saw Long Chen’s Divine-tier Emperor Vanquishers.

Those are punching gloves! I’m cultivating the Killing God Sutra right now, so those Divine-tier punching gloves will be greatly beneficial to me!

Huang Qiong, who initially wanted to just teach Long Chen a lesson, changed his intentions instantly when he saw the gloves.

This weakling had a very valuable item; how could he not get jealous?

Long Chen noticed the change in his eyes.

Is he trying to get something I have?

Long Chen thought for a moment and guessed that it was the Emperor Vanquishers.

Then we’ll just have to see if you’re lucky enough to get them.

Long Chen laughed to himself.

Many people had eyed his things throughout the years. However, they all met the same end—death.

Within the Underworld Army, a Hundred-Sergeant was a middle-ranked member. Long Chen could not kill him in public, or the army would chase after him.

Furthermore, he couldn’t handle a Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage opponent yet.

“True Martial Soul, activate!”

Long Chen was not confident in winning this fight at all. Thankfully, Huang Qiong was only attacking once, so Long Chen still stood a chance. Furthermore, he could use the True Martial Soul to obtain Huang Qiong’s comprehension of the Heavenly Martial Realm during this fight, subsequently improving his own cultivation.

“Killing God Sutra, Massacre Claw!”

As expected, Huang Qiong used the famous Killing God Sutra of the Underworld Army! Long Chen had seen this move before, but Huang Qiong’s attack was many times stronger than Zhao Kongming’s.

The whole world disappeared before Long Chen’s eyes. The powerful killing Qi was like a chilly air current spreading in Long Chen’s direction. The only thing he could see was the glinting arc from the claws. It was dangerous, and it was quickly approaching his neck!

“Emperor’s Manual, Shifting Galaxies!”

The Emperor’s Manual had three moves, and the final move used up too much essence, so Long Chen could not use it for now. However, he was already familiar with Shifting Galaxies.

After using it a few times, Long Chen had achieved the late stage of Shifting Galaxies.

Shifting Galaxies could output more energy than Emperor's Arrival.

This time, he was releasing two attacks in a row. On the right, he unleashed the golden Shifting Galaxies, while on the left, he unleashed the black Shifting Galaxies. When both techniques were combined, there was a huge explosion. Both fist seals, one hot and one cold, were mixed together to form an attack with destructive power on a level Long Chen had never utilized before.

Boom!

Even the sturdy courtyard and the buildings trembled!

Huang Qiong had underestimated Long Chen, so he had not used his full power. That was why Long Chen could take advantage of the situation and use two Shifting Galaxies to suppress Huang Qiong’s Killing God Sutra, which contained a vast amount of essence. However, Huang Qiong still had the essence of a Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator, which was many times stronger than Long Chen’s essence at just the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage. If Long Chen did not have this many tricks up his sleeve, he would have been decimated.

The immense power shattered the Shifting Galaxies and blasted Long Chen back.

Thud!

Long Chen landed on a house. Thankfully, he decreased his momentum in time so that the house did not collapse.

He only sustained minor injuries from the exchange and was not killed.

But this was a very shocking result for Huang Qiong and the others.

Huang Qiong’s intention was to kill Long Chen in one strike, or at least heavily injure him so that he could take the Emperor Vanquishers. Unfortunately, it looked like his wish would not come true.

Long Chen suppressed his churning blood and Qi, calming himself down. He then suppressed the killing intent in himself and looked up. He smiled, though his gaze remained cold when he looked at Huang Qiong. “Hundred-Sergeant, that was one strike. You said that you would forget about my mistake after one strike. In that case, I shall excuse myself.”

Then Long Chen turned and left, leaving them behind while they looked at each other.

“Hundred-Sergeant,” said Butcher, running up in an ingratiating manner.

“Go away!” Huang Qiong was in an extremely bad mood and kicked him.

Butcher tumbled several times before climbing back to his feet. His expression remained sincere when he said, “Don’t worry. You merely underestimated him today. As long as he’s in Camp Wolf, what you want will eventually be yours ...”

Huang Qiong thought for a while and realized he was right. “Alright, he’d better not let me find an opportunity, then.”

Then Huang Qiong shook his sleeve and walked out.

***

After Long Chen returned to the Underworld Plaza, he realized Ye Xuan had not resumed his cultivation yet. He had been looking worriedly in the direction he had left in. When he saw Long Chen emerge once again, he smiled.

“You’re back.”

“Mhm. Why don’t you hurry? Don’t you want to break that two-month record?” asked Long Chen. He knew that Ye Xuan was a person of good character.

“We started at the same time, so I didn’t want to take advantage of you,” said Ye Xuan with a grin. He seemed to want to compete against Long Chen. What face would he make if he knew that Long Chen had already cultivated Underworld Qi?

“Let’s begin, then.”

Long Chen did not keep him waiting and sat down to wait for nighttime.

Time passed very quickly, and it was soon nighttime. Ye Xuan was immersed in cultivation. If nothing major happened, Long Chen was not going to startle this person who was cultivating so sincerely. Long Chen used his Soul Swallowing Gaze to estimate the number of people present.

Only three or four thousand people remained, compared to the ten thousand people during the day. Due to the large size of the plaza, the crowd was very sparse. There were very few people walking around, leaving, or approaching the rock. Long Chen picked a side with fewer people and started to head towards the rock with light footsteps. In the dark of the night, he attracted little attention.

Very soon, he was standing at the foot of the Underworld Rock. A hot and violent aura was hidden in its depths.

“The Golden Thunder Beast is barely breathing. This is a great time to tame it. Place your left palm on the Underworld Rock,” said Little Cat.

“Will it cause any commotion?” asked Long Chen.

“No. Do you think a god like myself would be that stupid?”

“You have always been,” muttered Long Chen. Little Cat did not hear him. If he did, he would not be as enthusiastic in helping him.

The Dream Demon emerged from the Primordial Realm and skipped along Long Chen’s arm until he reached his palm. Long Chen activated the True Martial Soul, and he sensed through Little Cat’s mysterious summoning power that the violent Golden Thunder Beast was starting to move in his direction.

“It’s coming. Hold on.”

The hot and violent aura approached. Long Chen discovered that a layer of golden lightning had wrapped around his palm while it rested on the rock. The lightning did not make a sound. If it did, someone would have discovered Long Chen.

The Golden Thunder Beast roared, as if it had discovered delicious food, and it approached Long Chen.

Long Chen felt like his hand was being electrocuted. Having no choice, he activated the Dragon Soul Transformation only on his arm. After the red scales appeared, he felt much better.

Golden lightning was starting to travel up his left arm.

The bolts of lightning swam up his red scales. It was a beautiful sight. This was the Hell Soul Lightning.

“It’s here.”

With Little Cat’s reminder, Long Chen felt like a hot knife had stabbed itself into his palm. He was in so much pain that he shivered and almost cried out loud. He endured the pain as best as he could through sheer determination.

The Golden Thunder Beast charged into the meridian point in Long Chen’s left palm and resided inside, just like the Five Emperor Seals in his right hand. However, the Golden Thunder Beast was many times stronger.

Long Chen felt like a fireball was hiding in his hand. It was unimaginably hot and sharp. With Little Cat’s permission, he pulled his palm away and discovered an image of the Golden Thunder Beast on his palm! And a large part of the image was a mouth made of golden lightning!
