Chapter 5393 I’ll Help You Take It

So, the more they struggled, the faster their bloodline power drained until it was depleted. This supreme divine ability was even a challenge for the heavenly geniuses of the sovereign dragon race.

Ying Tianhua believed that Long Chen was merely human; even if he possessed pure dragon blood, how much of its power could he actually wield? Confident in his power, Ying Tianhua assumed the battle was over the moment he summoned his Dragon Domain.

What he hadn’t anticipated, though, was that Long Chen’s dragon blood didn’t stem from the sovereign dragon race, but from the legendary Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign. Although the Dragon Domain had some effect, it was negligible. At this rate, even if Ying Tianhua were given a year, he still wouldn’t be able to extract all of Long Chen’s dragon blood.

“I told you, this isn’t a Dragon Domain,” Long Chen taunted after sending Ying Tianhua flying with a slap. “The resonant dragon race are nothing more than spineless dogs now. This technique might impress others, but it’s worthless against me.”

Long Chen then glanced at the Hidden Dragon Legion. Under increasing pressure, their combat abilities continued to sharpen. No matter how furiously their enemies assaulted them, they sliced through; no one could stop their swords. In fact, there was no need for Tang Wan-er to join in.

Seeing that, Long Chen relaxed. The Hidden Dragon Legion’s rate of improvement was even greater than he had expected. As long as they didn’t run into any peak experts, their safety was not something he needed to concern himself with.

After all, the Hidden Dragon Legion had access to limitless medicinal pills, spirit crystals, and various resources. They also had the aid of a priceless divine treasure—Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree. There would be no justice in this world if they weren’t getting stronger.

“Die!” Ying Tianhua roared, furious that his Dragon Domain hadn’t immediately overpowered Long Chen.

He had expected the Dragon Domain to make quick work of Long Chen. What he truly wanted was Long Chen’s dragon blood, and he aimed to claim it before Ye Linfeng and the others arrived.

However, he underestimated Long Chen and got a slap instead. For the wildly arrogant Ying Tianhua, it was an unbearable humiliation, so he ignited his dragon blood. The resonant dragon reappeared in his manifestation, while flames ignited on his dragon spear. With newfound fury, he launched himself at Long Chen once more.

This time, Ying Tianhua no longer held back. Even if Long Chen died because of this attack, he didn’t care. If he didn’t attack with all his power, he felt like he would explode.

“Cloud Dragon Immolation Claw!” Long Chen responded, summoning a colossal dragon claw from his divine ring.

BOOM!

Ying Tianhua’s spear pierced the dragon claw, but the impact shook him to his core, and blood spattered from his mouth. Although his spear shattered Long Chen’s technique, the resulting force shook his insides.

“Tch, still weak even with a divine weapon,” Long Chen sneered, swinging his leg through the air.

“Divine Dragon Tail Pendulum!”

An enormous dragon tail manifested, whipping through the air like a divine whip. Ying Tianhua had yet to recover from the previous attack when the dragon tail appeared in front of him, its pressure causing his hair to stand on end.

Although Long Chen’s dragon blood power hadn’t changed recently, his growth and the effects of the Radiant World Star Crystal had amplified his strength, and with it, the potency of his dragon abilities. It was multiple times greater than before.

Seeing the tail approach, Ying Tianhua thrust his spear forward. The dragon spear was incalculably sharp and tore through the dragon tail. However, the tail didn’t break apart after all that and struck Ying Tianhua.

BOOM!

Ying Tianhua spat out more blood, along with broken bits of his insides. Though powerful, Ying Tianhua found himself at a disadvantage. Long Chen’s dragon blood carried the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign’s supreme will, suppressing him entirely.

Ying Tianhua was truly unlucky. Someone who could look down on other heavenly geniuses in the same realm was pushed to this point in two attacks.

Realizing he couldn’t endure another direct clash, Ying Tianhua launched himself backward to create some distance between them. But before he could retreat fully, his dragon spear was yanked forward, and Long Chen’s taunting voice echoed, “Let me take this off your hands!”

When Ying Tianhua came to a halt, miles away, his hands were empty—his dragon spear was gone. He looked forward and saw it in Long Chen’s grasp, who toyed with it casually.

“Young child, you shouldn’t play with such dangerous toys. You could hurt yourself. I’ll help you by taking it,” Long Chen smirked before casually tossing the spear into his primal chaos space.

Forged from a Dragon Emperor’s fang, this spear was an incredibly sharp and powerful weapon, though not a true Divine Emperor artifact. The original master of the fang wasn’t even from the resonant dragon race, which meant that Ying Tianhua lacked the ability to refine it properly. He could only unleash its most basic power.

Despite this limitation, its raw power was still formidable; Long Chen had felt its sting twice already. If Ying Tianhua could master this bone spear, Long Chen would likely find himself running away by now.

Originally, Long Chen had intended to toss the spear into the black soil. However, sensing its powerful will and the strength of its runes, he had a change of heart. Suddenly, he thought of Gu Yang; perhaps this spear could unleash its true potential in his hands.

“Return my divine spear!”

“Return my divine spear!” Ying Tianhua exclaimed in a panic.

This was a priceless treasure of the resonant dragon race. Although he had been given authority to wield it, it wasn\'t truly his. If he lost it, he would be punished harshly.

Ying Tianhua merged with the resonant dragon figure behind him, expelling another mouthful of blood as his aura erupted like a volcano. Using a sacrificial technique, he boosted his power and lunged at Long Chen with a fierce punch.

“That’s right, let’s settle this with our fists! A fair fight it is!” Long Chen responded, charging directly at the newly empowered Ying Tianhua.
