Chapter 5225 Wave of News
While Long Chen was immersed in training, heaven-shaking news spread across the land like wildfire.
“What?! The Brahma Pill Valley summoned their allied forces to launch a surprise attack on the High Firmament Academy?!”
“Heavens, thirty-seven races and over seven thousand factions joined forces?! Moreover, the Brahma Pill Valley sent out eight Human Emperors and over ten thousand half-step Human Emperors, in addition to hundreds of millions of Heaven Saints with three-veins and above?”
“With that kind of power, they could overturn the entire Sovereign Emperor Heaven. It looks like the High Firmament Academy is finished.”
“Well, they had it coming. Long Chen has provoked so many factions in Sovereign Emperor Heaven after his slaughter in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain. Did he really think they’d just let it slide?”
“But here’s the strange part—some of the Brahma Pill Valley’s allies refused to join the attack. Long Chen had killed some of their disciples, so why would they hold back?”
“Hmm, it doesn’t add up. This was their perfect chance for revenge and to earn favor with Brahma Pill Valley. Why would they pass that up?”
“Hehe, things are getting interesting. Let’s wait and see what the outcome is!”
These revelations came from the various factions that Brahma Pill Valley had contacted for their secretive assault on the High Firmament Academy. Despite efforts to keep it under wraps, there were always loose ends, and rumors spread like wildfire.
It only took half a day for the real results to surface—and they were shocking to say the least. When the news finally came out, it wasn’t at all what people had expected.
“What?! Eight Human Emperors were killed in combat?!”
“Not one of the half-step Human Emperors survived?!”
“Millions of experts joined in, but only a few thousand people escaped?! Were the rest exterminated?!”
Factions throughout Sovereign Emperor Heaven were left utterly stunned. Their first reaction was disbelief. This had to be fake news. How could eight Human Emperors perish in battle?
After all, Human Emperors were considered near-invincible. Even if things went badly, shouldn’t they be able to escape? The idea that Human Emperors could fall was unimaginable to most.
“Long Chen killed three Human Emperors on his own?! Heavens, then it’s no joke that he’s unmatched beneath the Human Emperor realm.”
As more detailed information trickled out, and the rumors became more precise, people were forced to confront the reality of the situation. This wasn’t just hearsay anymore.
In addition to the Brahma Pill Valley forces, other factions with strong intelligence networks had been watching the events unfold. Some had even set up heaven-peering formations around the battle site, and although the intense combat blurred their readings, they still managed to capture a few critical scenes within the chaotic space.
The first wave of information came from those formations, but since they couldn’t clearly see everything, much of it was speculation. The most precise details came from survivors of the battle—those few who had managed to escape with their lives, bearing witness to terrifying scenes.
They reported that the Eight Domain Divine Diagram was shattered by the High Firmament Academy’s palace master, and the Brahma Divine Diagram retreated on its own. The Brahma Pill Valley’s forces were utterly routed, their army nearly wiped out. The information shook the whole world.
“Heavens, the youngest dean in the High Firmament Academy’s history is actually a nine star heir?! Then isn’t this world going to be destroyed because of him? Just what is the High Firmament Academy thinking?! They dared to harbor and raise a nine star heir! Are they really planning on fighting against the entire world?!”
At first, news of Long Chen’s identity as a nine-star heir didn’t seem too alarming. But as ancient records were consulted and older generations explained the significance of a nine-star heir, the full weight of the revelation hit them, sparking widespread fear and outrage.
...
As waves of rumors and fear swept through Sovereign Emperor Heaven, Long Chen was blissfully unaware, fully immersed in training. He had finally mastered the Waning Moon Shakes Heaven and Earth state.
Furthermore, Long Chen nearly perfected his control of the Waning Moon Pierces the Dome of the Heavens. Even without Evilmoon’s help, he could now execute the technique. This technique’s destructive power had already surpassed the Sovereign Blood Seal, making it his strongest barehanded attack.
If Long Chen were to use Evilmoon, then this technique would be several times stronger than when he used it last time. Furthermore, it wouldn’t put too much of a burden on his body.
What pleased Long Chen the most, however, was that he and Evilmoon had successfully completed carving the nine forms of Split the Heavens. This was the ideal technique for a long combat, requiring little energy while delivering immense power.
If they encountered terrifying experts, Evilmoon still had another trump card up its sleeve. Long Chen was unsure of the strength of this move, but considering it could draw on all the power of Huo Linger, Lei Linger, and himself, it was sure to be devastating beyond comprehension.
Long Chen’s confidence surged with his newfound strength. He slung Evilmoon over his back and headed back toward the High Firmament Academy. Evilmoon had asked to return to his back rather than remain in the primal chaos space. It had explained that to unlock its next state faster, it needed to absorb more blood soul energy from the battlefield—something it couldn’t do while isolated in the primal chaos space.
This piqued Long Chen’s curiosity. When he asked how much longer it would take to unlock this next state, Evilmoon told him to look at the two dragon marks on its blade. There was a tiny red dot at the tail of one of the dragons, representing the amount of blood soul energy it had absorbed so far.
“That is the amount of blood soul energy I have accumulated. Once the blood soul energy fills the entire dragon mark, I can unlock the next state.”
“Fill it up?” Long Chen muttered. Compared to the size of the blade, the dot was minuscule. It would take tens of thousands of these red dots to fill up the dragon marks completely.
This blood soul energy came from the essence blood and Spiritual Strength of the experts slain in battle—energy that normally returned to the Heavenly Daos and was scattered through the cycle of reincarnation. But Evilmoon needed to absorb it to unlock its seals. Despite the massive slaughter in their last battle, all that blood soul energy only amounted to this tiny red dot.
For Evilmoon to unlock its next state, it would require tens of thousands of such battles. Just the thought made Long Chen shiver.
When Long Chen returned to the High Firmament Academy, the Dragonblood warriors were almost fully recovered, though others were still recuperating.
“Brothers, move out!” Long Chen commanded.
The Dragonblood warriors instantly assembled, their presence filling the air with an overwhelming, formless killing intent.
