<h4>Chapter 705 - Fourth Earthly Martial Stage</h4>


    Everyone wanted tough after hearing what Long Chen had said. Everyone thought he was stupid. Long Chen could barely ensure his own survival, much less kill the young master of the Divine n. It was a tant joke.


    But they were stunned when they sensed the killing intent he was giving off. He looked like the divine incarnate of massacre. He was weak, but it wasn’t hard to imagine how scary he would be if he became stronger.


    “I swear on my blood that I will be so strong that I can kill you in half a year! Wash your neck and wait for me!” Everyone heard him swear, but no one believed him. All of them thought that he was just saying his final words before being killed. Still, some of them thought that he wasn’t lying.


    The Ancient Graveyard would only remain open for a single year. Long Chen’s goal was to kill the young master of the Divine n in half a year. This was impossible if he were to stick to the progress he had made in the Divine Martial Empire, so he needed to find ways to break through.


    Long Chen’s blood was boiling!


    <i>I refuse to yield! I need to be strong! </i>Long Chen’s heart craved for the strength he needed to defeat the young master. He memorized the young master’s face and swore to tear it apart one day!


    The young master was taken aback before heughed. He waved his hands at Long Chen, saying, “Are you daydreaming, you mongrel? Someone go and kill him. He’s sullying my eyes. To think that an ant would talk such rubbish in front of me. The world must’ve changed a lot if you don’t know the Divine n.”


    The young master mumbled and ignored Long Chen.


    However, it was Long Chen’s turn tough.


    “Xiang, take care!” He used thenguage of beasts to say goodbye to Xiang for now. He was disgusted by how they called themselves the Divine n even though they were humans too.


    A man had to know when to retreat. Long Chen was certain that he couldn’t win even if he used the third stage of Blood Sacrifice. The only thing to do now was to run and bide his time until he became stronger. He would show the young master how cruel he could be.


    “Big Brother, take care!” Xiang refused to yield, but there was nothing he could do either.


    He wanted to travel with Long Chen and not act like a dog in front of the young master.


    “We will meet when we be stronger.” Long Chen smiled before he red at the young master. His re was so cold and murderous that even the young master trembled a little.


    For just a single moment, the young master saw an ancient being that towered above the heavens in front of him, rather than a human. The noble bloodline of the being made the young master’s own bloodline feel inferior. He was the ant right now!


    Long Chen suddenly transformed into a ray of blood-red light and disappeared. No one had expected Long Chen to have such a technique! They thought Long Chen would most certainly die today, but they never thought he had such a hidden card left!


    Everyone realized that the words he had said were meant to buy time to prepare Blood Warp!


    The young master did not chase after him. He was still petrified by Long Chen’s gaze. He only snapped back a momentter and chuckled. <i>Wu Guangyu, oh, Wu Guangyu. How could you get intimidated by an ant? He wouldn’t be able to surpass you even if he worked for an entire lifetime, much less half a year. The inheritance of one of the Seven Lords, the Azure Lotus Lord, is still waiting for you. The Sun Devouring Wolf will also make me stronger!</i>


    The young master was beyond excited.


    The Ancient Graveyard was a treasure trove for him! To think that he had a lucky encounter the moment he entered this ce.


    “Young master, the youth ran away. Should we chase him?” one of the underlings asked carefully.


    “There’s no reason for people of our status to chase after the ant.” The young master looked at the Sun Devouring Wolf with satisfaction.


    Xiang rxed a bit after seeing that Long Chen was safe. He knew that he didn’t need to worry about Long Chen and was certain that Long Chen would be back in half a year.


    He always fulfilled his promises!


    Xiang carefully hid his killing intent and pretended to be a real demonic beast by ring at them nkly with a fierce stare.


    The young master smiled and took his entourage away happily.


    The crowd was still buzzing with excitement over what had happened when one of them asked, “Hey, do you think that youth will really kill the young master one day?”


    “Are you dumb? It’s just a joke. There’s no way he will survive the Ancient Graveyard at his cultivation level, much less kill the young master.”


    “Only someone like you would take him seriously.”


    Little did they know, all of them were minor characters.


    They dispersed afterwards, but they told everyone they met about what had happened. A minor character called Long Chen dared to fight back against the young master of the Divine n. It was the first joke of the year.


    The Divine n was one of the tworgest ns in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. They were also a symbol of strength. There were billions of people, but there was only a single Divine n. The patriarch of said n only had a single son. Wasn’t it a joke for someone like Long Chen to challenge him?


    The young master of the Divine n, Wu Guangyu, was one of the most prominent youths and was also very strong. He had ess to far more resources than a regr person could imagine. Long Chen was only at the Third Earthly Martial Stage. He wouldn’t be able to challenge the young master unless he worked on his cultivation for tens of years, much less half a year.


    Even Long Chen wasn’t sure if he would seed!


    He only wanted to pass through the Ancient Graveyard to begin with, but now he had another goal: to kill the young master of the Divine n and rescue his sworn brother!


    Long Chen didn’t mind how hard it would be. Even though everyone thought of it as a joke, he would treat it seriously. He had faith in the Inherited Blood Essence of one of the ten Ancestor Dragons! He only needed time.


    Intention was the first criteria of cultivation!


    Long Chen traveled ten Li away with Blood Warp. He dared not stop and continued to run using his physical strength while refining on King Crystals to replenish his essence. He had killed a lot of people in the Divine Martial Empire, so he had three thousand King Crystals, but that wasn’t enough for him. He could also use the blood essence of demonic beasts, but he hadn''te across any suitable beasts yet.


    He ran through the lush forest for a while before realizing that no one was chasing him. Long Chen confirmed that he was safe before he entered a secluded cave. He hid himself and immediately started refining a thousand King Crystals at the same time!


    The crystals surrounded his body and he absorbed the essence to change it into his Dragon Soul Essence!


    After facing such a strong foe today, Long Chen’s nerves were a wreck. His anger caused his blood to boil, and it took a long time to calm himself down. He could feel his cultivation steadily progressing as he took in the essence.


    “Young master ...” Half a day passed before he finished recovering his essence. Long Chen stood up and red at the direction the young master of the Divine n was headed to.


    The grudge had been tied, and he had sworn with his blood. He knew the Divine n was strong, and he knew he would be aughingstock, but he didn’t care. He was truly strong, and he knew that he would be stronger than them, so he didn’t care about the criticism of others.


    Long Chen was the strongest in the Divine Martial Empire, but now he was the weakest in the Ancient Graveyard. Anyone here could defeat him easily.


    “Nothing is more important than my cultivation! I can only dictate my fate if I’m strong enough ...” Long Chen sighed, but his fighting spirit ignited!


    He started cultivating the fourth stage of the Earthly Martial Fist in the cave.


    He had been cultivating it ever since he reached the third stage. He hadn''t forgotten to do so even when he was cultivating the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal. It had been a month since he started cultivating the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal, and he finally reached the breaking point several days after the close call with the young master!


    In the narrow cave, Long Chen’s fist moved in a profound path. He moved ording to the pulse of the earth as he felt himself merging with it. He started picking up speed until his body was a blur. He then slowed down until he was barely moving!


    “Is this how it feels to be at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage?” Long Chen immersed himself in the profound feeling. The fist was the basis of attacks. The other variations of attacking would follow suit after he mastered the fist.
