To avoid disturbing others, Long Chen went to a desolate place far from the academy. Just in case, he left Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er behind.
In the previous great battle, Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er displayed astonishing combat power. You have to know, the boundless sea of thunder and fire was the key to victory this time. Without the two of them present, the academy would have suffered massive casualties.
To support the Sea of Thunder and Fire, their forces were all dispersed. They continuously supported the Dragon Blood Legion's attacks. Without assisting others, Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er both had the strength to single-handedly kill the Human Emperor.
Most importantly, the thunderfire power they absorbed last time had only absorbed a small portion; more than half remained undigested. Moreover, they had not fully adapted to the surge in power. Once they fully absorbed it, their strength would rise to a level that even shocked Long Chen.
Long Chen arrived at a desolate place. The Dragonbone Evil Moon floated in front of him, with black energy swirling around the moon and evil energy soaring to the sky.
On either side of the blade, two black dragon divine images flickered, as if two dragons were about to fly out from the blade. Their fierce killing intent unsettled the entire world, as if it were born for slaughter.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Besides
the two giant dragon patterns, countless runes flickered on the Dragonbone Evil Moon's body. These runes seemed alive, constantly writhing about. Long Chen noticed that the Dragonbone Evil Moon's aura seemed even stronger than before.
"Don't be shocked. You've already unlocked my first form. My primordial runes keep awakening, and my power keeps growing stronger.
Although your meridians have been repaired, the source power is greatly depleted. We won't rush to integrate new techniques; let's directly review the previous 'Crescent Moon Piercing the Sky.'
That previous move was because I was the one leading it, so it dealt a huge blow to your body. Now, I'll teach you this move.
Once you have integrated and mastered it, our strengths will merge into one. Not only will your strength increase significantly, but the impact force will also decrease. Most importantly, the impact force will be shared by us, causing you minimal harm. At that point, as long as your strength is sufficient, you can use this move however you like. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
"What do you mean?" Can I learn this trick too? "Long Chen was startled.
"How interesting. If you don't learn it, how can we integrate and connect everything?" Alright, my move is simple. I'll transfer the runes into your body. Whether you use Purple Blood, Seven-Colored Supreme Blood, Dragon Blood, or Star Power to activate it, it's the same. One method works for many. Think about which power is easiest to control. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
"Of course it's purple blood!" Long Chen didn't hesitate; purple blood was the gentlest power and the easiest to control.
"Alright, you circulate the purple blood. I'll channel the runes into your bloodline. Use your bloodline to replicate it. Once the rune replication is complete, I'll teach you how to operate it." Longgu Xie Yue said.
"Buzz!" After saying this,
Dragon Bone Xie Yue glowed all over, the blade tip pointing at Long Chen's chest. Countless runes on the blade surged into Long Chen's body like swimming tadpoles.
Long Chen had long prepared the power of purple blood to welcome the arrival of those runes. When those runes surged into his purple blood, his body trembled violently. He felt waves of chill flood his entire body, the runes icy to the extreme, almost freezing his soul.
Fortunately, the purple blood power was extremely mild, with almost no repulsion. When those runes entered Long Chen's body, he channeled the purple blood power to imitate them.
Originally, copying a rune and integrating it into the bloodline was an extremely difficult and complex process. Usually, replicating a set of cultivation method runes often took hundreds of years, or even longer.
Replicating runes and passing down divine abilities within the bloodline is nothing new in the history of human cultivation, but this kind of replication takes too long and is disliked by many.
If someone has extremely high talent, they can fully rely on their own comprehension to comprehend the technique, rather than choosing to copy it.
Choosing to replicate means the person's comprehension is not high, and powerful techniques cannot be passed down through replication, so replication is a clumsy method.
But Long Chen's replication was different. What he was copying was the runes of the Dragonbone Evil Moon, and the Moon was actively helping him replicate. Coupled with the powerful tolerance of the Purple Blood, in less than an hour, runes the size of grains appeared within Long Chen's purple blood.
Though these runes were small, they looked exactly like the ones injected into Long Chen's body by the Dragonbone Evil Moon, and their auras were exactly the same.
At this moment, the replication was complete. The runes of the Dragonbone Evil Moon began to withdraw, standing before Long Chen, and the runes on its body kept wandering nonstop.
The tiny runes inside Long Chen's body, guided by the aura of the Dragonbone Evil Moon, began to move rhythmically. At first, the movement speed of the runes within Long Chen was extremely slow, but as time went on, the frequency of the runes within him gradually matched that of the Dragonbone Evil Moon.
"Call my name!" Dragonbone Xie Yue suddenly spoke.
"The waning moon shakes heaven and earth!"
Long Chen shouted sharply.
"Buzz"
Long Chen didn't need to make any move. With his shout, the runes within him trembled violently and continued to close, forming a crescent moon.
At that moment, the tip of the Dragonbone Evil Moon outside lit up, the crescent pattern flickering continuously. The waning moon inside Long Chen was also drawn in and flickered along with it.
"Wow, it's even faster than I imagined!" Seeing Long Chen complete the first step almost effortlessly, Dragon Bone Xie Yue became excited.
"Buzz"—
The blade of the Dragonbone Evil Moon glowed as endless runes converged. At that moment, Long Chen was pulled back, his large hand reaching forward. A crescent moon appeared in his palm, slashing fiercely forward, while involuntarily shouting:
"Waning Moon Pierces the Heavens
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, a crescent blade shot out from his hand, cleaving the mountain before Long Chen in front of him.
At that moment, Long Chen was stunned. Splitting an ordinary mountain with one palm was nothing, but this mountain was a mine—a solid piece of ore.
Splitting through a solid mine was nothing special. The key was that the mine had been split open with a crack about a zhang wide, smooth as a mirror, so clear it could reflect people. This showed that the force of this strike was highly concentrated. In his life, Long Chen had never seen such a terrifying technique.
"This is just too terrifying!" Long Chen's jaw nearly dropped in shock. Was this really created by a single palm strike?
"Your purple blood power is truly terrifying. Just learned it, and you can reach mastery at the micro level." This strike startled not only Long Chen but also shocked Dragonbone Xie Yue.
"Come on, strike while the iron is hot. Let's learn the next move, which is also my strongest move in my first form!" Dragonbone Evil Moon said excitedly.
