Dragon War God

Chapter 697 - Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal

It wasn't hard for Long Chen to cultivate a single seal. If he succeeded, the Scarlet Emperor Seal on his palm would be activated. His palm would then be imbued by an intense fire energy that would turn everything in front into a sea of fire.

But cultivating the second seal would be difficult for him. The different elements could amplify each other's strengths, but they could also clash against each other. Long Chen needed to converge two different elements into his palm at the same time while only having a single Martial Meridian in that palm. It would take a lot of time to figure out how to do so.

It would be even harder for the third and fourth seals.

Long Chen was both happy and worried after he gained the knowledge on how to cultivate the technique. He was happy that the Five Emperor Seals were strong, but was worried because of how hard it was to cultivate them.

I should just ignore it for now. The path will show itself to me when the time comes.

The phenomena in the sky has died down, leaving only Long Chen floating in the air alone. Long Yue and the others only approached him after knowing that he had taken the Five Emperor Seals.

“Everyone, you may return now,” Long Yue said. There were tens of thousands of civilians looking at them from below. Now that Long Yue was the leader of Martial Overlord City, the civilians had no choice but to return to their homes.

The civilians spread the news of the Five Emperor Seals everywhere. Long Chen was embarrassed because only he himself had obtained the Five Emperor Seals when they were supposed to be shared with the others, but the Dragon clan didn’t mind.

“Only someone as monstrous as our Seventh Brother can cultivate the Five Emperor Seals. We are just regular cultivators! It’s already an honor to be able to look at them so closely,” Jiang Wuya said with a chuckle.

Everyone laughed too.

Long Chen was happy that everyone wasn’t jealous of him but instead celebrated his win.

“Young man, you need to fight hard. I will await for the news of your heroic feats in the Ancient Graveyard. Maybe we will be able to share some of your fame by then.” The past few days had been Long Shan’s happiest ever since he escaped the Nine Spirit Purgatory. He could now spend his remaining days in peace.

Everyone congratulated Long Chen before Long Yue interrupted, “Alright, let’s not disturb our little genius anymore. He will need to prepare to enter the Ancient Graveyard, so we shouldn’t disturb his cultivation for now.” She then turned to him. “Good luck!”

“Good luck!” The rest cheered him on too.

Lei Zhen had to take care of the Battle clan, so he returned after a few days. Jian Chen followed him to help him, while the rest stayed in Martial Overlord City. With the help of Long Yue, Huangfu Fengchen returned to the Huangfu family estate.

Even though Huangfu Fengchen had been crippled, no one objected to him as the patriarch. The strongest being in the Divine Martial Empire was now Long Chen, and everyone knew about Huangfu Fengchen’s relationship with Long Chen. Even his older brother, Huangfu Fengyun, had to be respectful to Huangfu Fengchen.

Huangfu Qi was slowly growing stronger thanks to her family.

Everything was going along as Long Chen had imagined.

He was very happy with the outcome.

He himself was happy as long as the people around him were happy too.

Only then could he focus on fighting for his future.

Long Chen would sometimes ask himself whether it was worth it to struggle so hard for the sake of a single woman.

But he would always laugh at himself. Love wasn’t a matter of worth or not, but a matter or willingness. One always had to listen to their heart since that was where love grew.

Long Chen’s heart had been set ever since he made that promise outside of Baiyang Town. He was uncertain at the time, but now he had the strength to stand on his own. He would make sure those who once looked down on him would change their minds when they saw him again.

“My life is in my own hands. One day, I will make sure all of you will be beneath me!”

Long Chen found a suitable place to start cultivating the Five Emperor Seals.

They were important techniques that would help him massively in the Ancient Graveyard.

There was only one month left, so he needed to spend all his time focusing on them.

Long Chen sat in his room late at night, studying the Five Emperor Seals. Xiaolang was taking a stroll outside at this point. Long Chen had spent the past few days reading the information of the Five Emperor Seals again and again. He was now much more familiar with the techniques and finally understood some of the more complicated terms.

But that didn’t mean his cultivation would be easy. The Five Emperor Seals were convoluted techniques that required consistent effort.

Long Chen was planning on starting with the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal and just skimmed past the information on the other seals.

“The Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal is a fire-attribute attack. I have the Golden Crow Flames in my body, and I even have the Golden Crow’s soul remnant in the Martial Meridian of my palm. It might be easier for me to cultivate the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal like this.”

The Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal was indeed a fire-attribute attack. Long Chen had cultivated the Burning Devil Sun Fist in the past, but the differences between the two techniques’ strength was extremely large.

The Five Emperor Seals were capable of bulldozing an entire mountain. The Burning Devil Sun Fist couldn’t hold a candle to it.

The more he cultivated, the more Long Chen realized how strong and difficult it was, but he never gave up.

I wonder if the Blue Devil Flame can become the catalyst to cultivate the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal?

Long Chen planned to use the Blue Devil Flame as the catalyst while relying on the Golden Crow Flames to cultivate the technique. He was certain that he could do it in one go.

Time slowly passed. After six days of researching the cultivation method of the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal, he decided it was time to cultivate it. He found a desolate mountain range near Martial Overlord City, and Xiaolang stood guard.

Xiaolang didn’t need to cultivate to get stronger, so he had a lot of time to observe Long Chen cultivate.

“Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal ... Of absolute Yang energy, use the flames as a catalyst to burn the heavens!”

Long Chen immersed himself in cultivation, reciting the words as he placed the Blue Devil Flame in his palm. The heat radiating from the flames was hot, but Long Chen withstood the heat thanks to his Dragon Soul Transformation. If not, his palm would’ve been charred.

I have to hold the Blue Devil Flame for three days straight before the Scarlet Emperor Seal can absorb it completely. Only then can I move on to the next step ...

Long Chen endured the pain as he chanted. Cultivation had always been a steep path. A cultivator wouldn’t be able to achieve success if they couldn’t endure this much pain. Long Chen’s willpower had always been stronger than others, so he endured without any noise.

Three days passed by swiftly.

Long Chen didn’t have as much essence as the people of the other empires, but his physical body far exceeded theirs. It took him three days to merge the Blue Devil Flame into his palm. Just then, he felt an excruciating pain burrowing deep into his hand. The burning pain wasn’t something an ordinary person could endure.

Endure this! Long Chen suffered but refused to give up. He yearned to become stronger. Those who couldn’t endure weren’t true men!

He gritted his teeth and endured it. Only then could he become a dragon amongst men and control his fate. He never once wavered in his cultivation.

Three more days passed before the pain subsided. A soothing feeling replaced the burning pain.

The Scarlet Emperor Seal has completely absorbed the Blue Devil Flame. The tattoo in his palm was directly connected to his Martial Meridian in his hand. The Blue Devil Flame was now in his Martial Meridian after being absorbed by the Scarlet Emperor Seal!

It’s time to start ... Long Chen continued his chant and made hand seals with his right hand. The sequence and complexity of the seals were also part of the cultivation process. He recalled the sequence and immersed himself in the profound feeling.

It was a long and arduous process.

The Scarlet Emperor Seal on his palm extended a small thread made of fire. The thread wrapped around the Blue Devil Flame, then several minute runes traveled down the thread and wrapped around the Blue Devil Flame. The Blue Devil Flame appeared to be too weak for the Scarlet Emperor Flame. There was a chance that it was too weak to be a catalyst, but Long Chen decided to give it a go since he was certain that the Golden Crow Flames would help him later on.

Time passed slowly.

Every little change took a very long time to happen. It was a test of Long Chen’s will and patience. He focused on chanting and making the seals while he controlled the Scarlet Emperor Seal. Several days had passed since he started. At this point, the Blue Devil Flame appeared to be so weak that it could be extinguished at any second.
