Chapter 576 - Well Prepared and Ready For Action

Long Chen was satisfied after learning that much about the Ancient Graveyard.

Even though there would only be one token in the entire Divine Martial Empire, he had to obtain it. If he couldn’t, he would have no choice but to go to another empire to grab one. But the problem was that the other empires’ cultivators were stronger, so it would be harder to get one.

The difference in strength between the Divine Martial Empire and the other empires was clear just by looking at the difference in the number of Ancient Tokens.

It was accurate of Long Yue to call it the Nine Divine Empires instead of Ten Divine Empires.

Based on the number of ancient tokens, Long Chen estimated that tens of thousands of cultivators would enter the Ancient Graveyard in order to obtain the treasures. Long Chen’s goal was to travel past the Ancient Graveyard to enter the Three Emperor Territory, so he wouldn’t need to fight others that much.

Still, he would be more than happy to try his luck at contesting for treasures if his strength allowed for it. One of the Prismatic Keys was already in Long Chen’s Primordial Realm, so he would lose nothing if he tried to take the treasure of the Five Emperors.

There are five Prismatic Keys, and I just got the fifth one. Does that mean the Ancient Graveyard will be opening soon? It’s a shame that I don’t know where the Ancient Token will appear. I could’ve waited at that location until it appeared.

Long Chen pondered about what his next plans would be.

They soon reached Cloud Heaven City.

Long Chen memorized the details about the Ancient Graveyard before he accompanied Long Yue to find people from the Red Souls. They waited at a gazebo and soon, a man in black overalls appeared.

“How are the others? Where are they?” Long Yue wasted no time.

The man respectfully answered, “They actually wanted to hide and wait for you here in Cloud Heaven City, but something happened a few days ago, so they rushed to where the Northern Battle clan is.”

“What’s happening there?”

“The Battle Emperor was heavily injured out of nowhere and his life is in danger. The Martial Alliance is attacking the Battle clan, so Lord Lei Zhen had to head back. The others followed him and assigned me to wait for you here.”

“The Martial Alliance must’ve injured that old man.” Long Yue frowned.

“They’re the only ones who could have injured him. It must’ve been Zhao Danchen, one of the Three Martial Emperors, who did it. Two days ago, Yang Ningfeng exited the Cloud Dream Swamp and ran towards the Battle clan. I think that the two Martial Emperors are planning to defeat the Battle clan once and for all.”

“Even though the Battle Emperor is old, he should still be strong. Zhao Danchen must’ve become stronger recently. I fear that even I cannot defeat him now ...” Long Yue shook her head and sighed.

“The Battle clan is the only major faction that has yet to submit to the Martial Alliance. I fear that they will fight to the death if the Martial Alliance invades. I doubt Second Brother can stop the Martial Alliance by himself, so we should hurry and help them,” Long Chen said.

Long Yue nodded. “You are right. The Martial Alliance don’t usually act on their own, but they are dreadful when they do. If the old Battle Emperor was injured, the Battle Clan would be done under the attack of two Martial Emperors.”

They immediately set off for the Battle clan.

“Lord Long, there is one more thing. My master told me to inform you about this the moment you appeared.” The man appeared to be anxious.

After saying goodbye, Long Chen made his way to the Northern Battle clan. Since Xiaolang was still sleeping, he didn’t have a ride. But since Long Chen was at the Earthly Martial Realm now, he could slowly absorb the Earthly Qi and transform it into Dragon Soul Essence. That way, his speed would be on par with a demonic beast at the Category Eight Heaven-tier.

While traveling, Long Chen also immersed himself in the feeling of connecting with the earth. He was doing two things at the same time. One of them was cultivating the Earthly Martial Realm Fist. He needed to learn the second stage to advance into the Second Earthly Martial Stage. Thanks to his experience, he was learning it at an incredible speed.

His heaven meridian was located in his sea of consciousness and his Martial Soul was a dragon! There was no way his comprehension was weak with such talent!

Long Chen only took a few days to understand the theory behind the second stage of the Earthly Martial Realm Fist. Now he only needed to practice it in order to advance into the Second Earthly Martial Stage successfully.

As for how long it would take, that depended on how quickly he could understand the essence of it.

He cultivated as he traveled.

Even though he could choose to fly, Long Chen chose to run on land to feel the energy and pulse of the earth. It was also the source of his strength.

The second thing he was cultivating was the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. An intermediate King-tier martial technique was naturally hard to learn. It was complex and grand, though thankfully, Long Chen had a similar fighting style to Long Yue, so it would compliment him well.

Soul Dispersing.

This was the first time Long Chen had tried to cultivate a claw technique, but he understood how well it suited him. He was not an Armament Warrior, so weapons did not suit him well. After transforming, his main weapons had to be his fists, seals, fingers, and claws.

His claws were extremely sturdy, but he had never used them. The Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw would release his potential.

The claws were the hardest part of his body when he transformed.

Long Chen already had an elementary King-tier Body Tempering technique. He didn’t have the Demonic Illusion anymore, and the Heaven Sword Array was too weak for him now.

The Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw had come at the right time.

Especially since it would be enhanced by the Golden Crow’s soul remnants.

Long Chen remained transformed as he cultivated the technique. That way, he could feel how strong and deadly the technique was.

It was a technique that excelled at close-quarters combat.

It was also the perfect technique for Long Chen after he reached the Earthly Martial Realm.

He ran through desolate places while he made his way to the Battle clan. He was like a caveman running without shoes as he cultivated the Earthly Martial Realm Fist and the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw from time to time.

His talent was unmatched thanks to being a Dragon Warrior.

He had no problem with understanding the difficult words written in the book.
