“Long Chen, this split body of mine has now reached full power!” Evilmoon declared excitedly.
Long Chen grabbed Evilmoon’s hilt and swung it. Instantly, a black tear split open in the air, growing wider as it stretched into the darkness.
But the surrounding laws quickly closed the tear. Even so, Long Chen was amazed by the power of that single swing.
Long Chen exclaimed, “You’ve only absorbed a little law power and formed runes on your blade’s edge, but even a simple swing can release such incredible destructive force!”
Evilmoon confidently stated, “But of course. I sacrificed a great deal. After demolishing my foundation and rebuilding anew, what was the purpose if I ended up weaker than before?”
Violet qi flowed from Long Chen’s hand.
But just as it was about to enter Evilmoon, it shouted, “Stop! I may be sharp, but my body is still weak. I can’t handle all your power. Now, I have two choices. I can keep upgrading and developing my own Dao, forming new essence runes beyond sharpness. But I don’t know when I’ll unlock my next power, what it will be, or how useful it might be. It’s a big gamble.
“If I succeed, I’ll become much stronger, but if I fail, I might not improve for a long time. The other option is to upgrade my 1.08 billion split bodies. That will take a lot of energy, but you’ll have more sharp weapons to use in battle. The downside is they’ll still be fragile, and I won’t be able to protect you from strong attacks.”
Hearing this, Long Chen sank into thought. They had two paths in front of them. And due to limited time and energy, they could only pick one.
If they picked the first one and Evilmoon unlocked a power greater than this overwhelming sharpness, Long Chen would soar and sweep through the nine heavens. According to Evilmoon, only the ten great primal chaos divine items could stand in their way.
But Evilmoon couldn’t control when this new power would awaken, or even what kind of power it would be.
“Luck has never been on our side. Let’s go with the second option. Slow and steady is a good option,” said Long Chen.
Long Chen didn’t want to take any risks. Even though his luck had improved recently, he still wasn’t willing to gamble.
If they chose the first path, Evilmoon wouldn’t get any stronger until it awakened its next ability. With a new era approaching, Long Chen wouldn’t feel as confident without Evilmoon’s support.
Right now, Evilmoon could only attack, not defend. Still, Long Chen trusted his own defensive skills and wouldn’t put himself in danger easily.
He also had Huo Linger, Lei Linger, and Cang Lu by his side. Unless he faced a Divine Sovereign Forerunner, no one could threaten him.
“Alright then!” Evilmoon exclaimed.
A blood-red petal appeared in the air as Evilmoon’s light flowed into it. The petal quickly changed, its edge shining with sharpness runes.
Long Chen said, “Evilmoon, don’t use all your power. Just give enough to activate the sharpness rune. Then, try to awaken as many split bodies as you can. That way, your true body will stay with me, and the split bodies can be used for sneak attacks. That should work best.”
Evilmoon had planned to create another split body as strong as its main body, so there would be a backup if anything happened.
However, Long Chen thought that since he knew Evilmoon’s weakness, he could avoid damaging it. As long as he didn’t use it for direct clashes, he could use the split bodies for sneak attacks and increase his killing power.
After hearing this, sixteen Evilmoons appeared. Once their sharpness runes were activated, they turned into blood-red petals that circled around Long Chen.
These sixteen dragon-scale petals were extremely sharp yet very fragile. A light touch could shatter them. Still, when spinning through the air, they could slice through anything with ease—even Divine Sovereign law items.
Most importantly, their runes now had the law power of the new era on them. Thus, they were effective against these mutated lifeforms. As long as he used them properly, he could absolutely slaughter any mutated lifeforms that he encountered.
“Evilmoon, our souls are linked, and I need to know your thoughts. I think you were once incredibly powerful, but you still chose to leave that behind. Aren’t you afraid of starting over?” Long Chen asked.
There were still many mysteries about Evilmoon. Long Chen felt it could have once been as powerful as the ten primal chaos divine items, or perhaps even stronger.
Still, Evilmoon had to regain its old power step by step to reach its peak again. That was what they had been working on until now.
Now, Evilmoon had let go of its past, which shocked Long Chen. He couldn’t quite understand it.
Evilmoon said, “Why ask such a foolish question?”
“How is it foolish?”
“If you were the Star Master, would you want to be the same old Star Master again?” asked Evilmoon.
Long Chen was startled.
Evilmoon chuckled, “Isn’t that the same? The Star Master failed because he wasn’t strong enough. So what would be the point of being the Star Master?
“As for myself, so what if I return to my peak condition? If I had been strong enough, I wouldn’t have been reduced to such a pitiful state. My old path can’t make me surpass my old self, so why take the same path?
“You’re the one who says guts equals profit. If we can’t predict the future, why not take a risk? Furthermore, I feel like my path is to dominate the heavens! I will use corpses as a bridge across the nine heavens, bones as a boat to cross the sea of blood, and slaughter as a means to achieve my Dao! I will sweep away all the blockades in your way until we reach the peak of the ten thousand Daos!
“Don’t worry, I’ll carry you! The world’s laws will be decided by us. At that time, all the beautiful women of the world will belong to you!”
Evilmoon’s words fired up Long Chen, but the last sentence nearly made him choke. However, Long Chen knew that the last line was just a joke.
He looked into the distance as the darkness began to fade, like the sun was about to rise. By now, the law aura in the primal chaos space had grown stronger. Some plants were starting to mutate.
Meanwhile, Huo Linger, Lei Linger, and Jing Jing had begun to understand the laws of the primal chaos space. Their auras had changed, and they were close to gaining the mark of the era and control over the new laws.
After taking a deep breath, Long Chen ran through the darkness, letting his aura spread on purpose. He was using himself as bait.
…
Seven days went by. Long Chen had killed hundreds of mutated lifeforms and saved thirteen cities and nine sects from their attacks.
Most of the sects and cities never knew who saved them. All they saw was a flash of blood-red light, the mutated lifeforms falling, and their bodies disappearing instantly.
After seven days, Long Chen had thirty thousand blood-red petals at his command. With a thought, they could rip through space. In a sneak attack, they could turn even a powerful enemy into blood mist.
BOOM!
Suddenly, flames burst out in the primal chaos space. A flame rune appeared on Huo Linger’s forehead, carrying a faint sense of the Grand Dao’s blessing.
“This is… an essence rune with the mark of the new era?” Long Chen asked, delighted.
Just as Long Chen was about to call Huo Linger to test her power, the zither string mark on his arm suddenly lit up.
Long Chen’s expression changed. Stars formed under his feet, and with one step, he disappeared.
“The Flame God Sect is under attack!"
