Chapter 940: Shattered Void
Long Chen could fight against more opponents simultaneously as he got stronger. He had defeated many foes at the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage and earned the nickname of being the strongest beneath the Divine Martial Realm. But he had never once taken the life of another.
The largest number of people he had fought against was an instance where he faced a hastily made group of twenty people. But now he had to fight seventy-five cultivators at the same time. While none of them were at the Divine Martial Realm, many were very close to it. Many of them also had their own strange techniques and professions like Scribes and Mech Priests. Scribes could use powerful runes while Mech Priests had powerful mechs inscribed with runes. Long Chen had fought against a powerful mech once called the Purple Lightning Giant.
There were also Alchemists who could provide pills for others to recover their essence.
Long Chen’s biggest advantage was his speed. Thanks to the Golden Thunder Beast, he was now as fast as a Divine Martial Realm cultivator.
His other advantage was that he had killed hundreds of Underworld Beasts along the way and took their blood essence. He stored it all in his Primordial Realm and could use it as a battery to replenish his essence.
Underworld Beasts spawned continuously in the Underworld Battlefield. They were constantly being born in the river, so Long Chen didn’t mind hunting them down the moment he saw them.
The Bloody Underworld Group surrounded Long Chen and slowly closed in. Long Chen’s unique battle style had long been spread throughout the Underworld Battlefield. Those below the Hundred-Sergeant rank would flee when they met him.
Long Chen never chased after them. However, he used the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage soldiers as sparring partners. Those at the Divine Martial Realm were still too strong for him since he was only at the Sixth Heavenly Martial Stage.
But seventy-five cultivators at the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage were more than enough for him to advance.
