Chapter 620 - Underground Space

Both Long Chens were adventurous while Long Yue was a determined person.

Using Sight, Long Chen saw that the stone scorpions lacked souls. They don’t have souls? What are they, then?

The three of them watched the stone scorpions sink into the ground. The ground was like their home. Once they burrowed, the ground returned back to normal as if nothing had happened.

The three of them had to dig down into the earth to chase after the scorpions, so they activated their powerful dragon forms. Due to being Earthly Martial Realm cultivators, their strength came from the earth, so their digging speed matched the stone scorpions’.

Long Yue and the youth realized that Long Chen’s Dragon Soul Transformation was different from theirs. Long Chen’s Dragon Soul Transformation gave him darker-colored scales that were more evenly distributed. His bone spikes were also much stronger than those of the siblings.

The Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon and the Red Dragon were both red, but there was a large gap between the strongest and weakest dragon.

“Are you sure you’re from our family? Why is your Dragon Soul Transformation much stronger than ours?” the youth asked.

Long Chen shook his head and smiled. “I don’t know. I was like this when I first learned the Dragon Soul Transformation. Your sister said that I might be from a branch of your family. Let’s continue chasing after the stone scorpions. We can’t let them detect us.”

He didn’t want them to know about his Dragon Soul Transformation, so he changed the subject.

The three of them dug silently. Their bodies and claws were harder than the gray earth, so it was easy enough to tunnel through it.

But the deeper they dug, the stronger the pressure became. The pressure was becoming unbearable, but the stone scorpions still continued to go deeper. Not knowing when they would reach their destination, Long Yue was the first to give up. “Let’s stop chasing them. If we continue digging downwards, we might not be able to escape if there’s danger. Let’s go back now.”

The youth nodded.

Just then, Long Chen said, “Wait, they disappeared. What a strange space ...”

Long Yue really wanted to leave, but she had no choice but to continue digging when she heard Long Chen say that. Long Chen had defeated the Martial Emperor Yang Ningfeng and was the strongest of the three, so she had no qualms with letting him lead them.

Long Chen dug towards where the stone scorpions had disappeared. Right before they arrived at the spot, Long Chen felt his claws breaking into empty space. He stopped immediately. What is this?

He reached out and felt his arm reach out of the ground. Long Chen realized that they were just outside of an empty space deep underground.

How big is the space in front of us?

Long Chen was fearless because he had the strength to back it up. “There’s something strange up ahead. Let me enter first and I will let you know if there’s any danger.”

The black runes were shimmering on the carapaces of the scorpions.

“The stone scorpions are really made out of inanimate rocks!” The youth was shocked.

The thousands of stone scorpions that had chased after them for five days were scarier, but there were only a few dozen of them right now, so they weren’t afraid. Most of the stones on the ground remained in place.

“I think the scorpions are out of energy after chasing after us for five days. Maybe that’s why only a few dozen are moving right now. Let’s deal with them first.”

There was no reason for them to be afraid if Long Chen was right.

It would be easy for them to deal with this number of scorpions.

Long Chen suddenly appeared in front of one of them. The scorpion used its massive pincer to punch Long Chen.

“Willow Step.” Long Chen evaded the pincer easily with the technique. The scorpion couldn’t touch him at all.

The stone scorpion suddenly swung its tail at Long Chen. The tail was much faster and stronger than its pincers.

Its tail whistled through the air.

Long Chen used Willow Step to evade it too.

“The Huangfu’s family Willow Step?” Both Long Yue and the youth were shocked to see Long Chen using Willow Step. How did Long Chen obtain it and when did he find the time to cultivate it?

Despite only being apart for a short time, Long Chen had not only advanced to the next stage, he had also learned two intermediate King-tier martial techniques!

Long Yue was surprised by Long Chen’s improvement.

The youth was also impressed by Long Chen’s strength. At first, he felt superior to Long Chen since he was at the Third Earthly Martial Stage at such a young age, two years younger than Zhao Danchen. But his confidence was bruised when he learned of Long Chen’s accomplishments.

“What a monster.” The youth sighed.

Because Long Chen had approached them first, the stone scorpions designated him as the main threat and surrounded him. The attacks came relentlessly. The stone scorpions were fast and strong, but Willow Step allowed him to avoid the attacks with ease. He didn’t even need to attack them.

Whenever an attack was going to hit him, he would stand in front of one of the stone scorpions and use Willow Step to dodge it. The attack would then hit another stone scorpion.
