Chapter 728: Inheritance of the Seven Star Lord
Both him and the other Seventh Earthly Martial Stage cultivator were already nearly out of strength, which was how Long Chen had managed to kill both of them so easily.
Both Seventh Earthly Martial Stage cultivators had died by Long Chen’s hand. Everyone watched in fear and shock when the second one died in just one strike.
Long Chen was not only strong, he was also very deadly!
“Run!”
Everyone tried to escape.
But it was too late. Long Chen had gone through a lot, so he understood that his kindness would bring danger. He couldn’t afford to make the same mistake, so he increased the strength of his Blood Devouring Domain. Sixth Earthly Martial Stage cultivators had to use half of their essence to suppress their blood!
Their strength was now reduced by half.
Long Chen was already stronger than they were before this. With the Blood Devouring Domain’s effect, the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage cultivators were nothing to him. Killing them brought Long Chen no remorse. The Dragon Continent had billions of people, so the lives of humans were worthless.The strong survived.
Since everyone wanted to kill him, he had to kill them to ensure his own survival. It was something he had to do.
Tens of cultivators fell before Long Chen. Each of them died with fear while the others tried to escape. Unfortunately, those trying to escape died faster. In the end, all of them died in Long Chen’s hands. There were a few who tried to feign death, but it was useless with Long Chen using Sight.
Long Chen slowed down once he confirmed that there were no living beings within a single Li around him. He shook his head when he looked at the scene in front of him before entering the cave.
The entrance to the tomb was made of hard metal. He wasn’t sure what kind of metal it was, but it was much sturdier than regular metal. He noted that the metal was suitable to be forged into Divine Weapons.
Long Chen walked alone in the metal cave since everyone was dead outside. His footsteps echoed loudly, creating metallic clangs
as the cold air wrapped around him. The atmosphere in the cave was solemn and dangerous.In front of him was a round plate roughly a meter in diameter. It was giving off a faint, blue light that resembled the stars when looked from afar.
Long Chen noticed that there were seven of these plates, but the other six were dim. They had been used by other people.
“That’s why they said this was most likely the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord. There’s seven plates …” Long Chen approached the one remaining glowing plate and inspected it. He noticed that the plate had seven moving dots of light that resembled the changing stars.
“Who cares whose inheritance this is. Just step on it. There’s already six people inside, and the treasure might’ve been taken by them.” Little Cat stretched his back as he said that.
Long Chen nodded and stepped on the plate. The light flashed briefly before a warm starlight enveloped him. He felt like he was in a warm bath.
A teleporter … Long Chen realized that it was a teleporter, and it was most likely a single-use one. He felt his body twisting as he was sent into another world. It should be a Miniverse. Even though the tomb looked simple, this might really be the Seven Star Lord’s tomb if there’s a Miniverse in it.
Long Chen was excited. The inheritance of the Seven Star Lord was even more precious than the Martial God Tombstone. The inheritances of the Seven Lords were some of the best treasures, second only to the Five Emperors Treasure. Long Chen was excited to obtain one!
But he had to defeat the six others in front of him first.
Who else was in the tomb? Were there any at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage? Long Chen could barely beat Seventh Earthly Martial Stage cultivators at their full strength, but he had no chance to win against Eighth Earthly Martial Stage cultivators. They were much too strong, especially if they had Emperor-tier Divine Weapons like Feng Zhilin.
While he was deep in thought, Long Chen arrived at his destination. When he stepped on the plate previously, the light had dimmed completely. The passageway to the Miniverse had closed off completely.
He was stunned by the beautiful scenery when he arrived. He looked up into the limitless sky and felt like he was on the starplate again. Dazzling galaxies were just above him and stars were everywhere. The stars flowed in a strangely beautiful orbit.
Long Chen was currently standing on dirt.
It was just like the Lingwu family's Star Devil Prison. Long Chen was standing on a blue planet, but it wasn’t large, since he could see that the horizon was curved. He had a feeling that the planet was only as large as Martial Overlord City. There was nothing but glimmering blue sand on the planet.
“Where is this place …” Long Chen was even more certain that this was the tomb of the Seven Star Lord after seeing the expansive sea of stars. He was impressed by his luck, but that didn’t mean that the treasure was his. There were already six people here, and they had most likely been here for a long time.
When Long Chen used Sight, he could see roughly a tenth of the planet. He suddenly saw a very weak soul on the edge of death.
The person is dying. Was there a fight here? Long Chen adapted to the gravity of the small planet before heading towards where he had seen the weak soul. He continued to use Sight to prevent others from attacking him.
He approached the soul and realized there were three more twisted corpses beside the dying person. Out of the six people, one was on the verge of death while the other three had died. Only two remained.
Who are the two remaining survivors? Are they allies or enemies?
Long Chen wanted to know, but thankfully, the person was still alive albeit barely. Long Chen quickly approached the dying man. The person was currently staring at the stars with his weak gaze. Long Chen noticed the deep gash on his body. It appeared to have been inflicted by a whip, and the person’s bones were exposed to the air. It was the cause of his demise.
The person saw Long Chen and was confused. He seemed to recall something and smiled briefly.
“Can I ask a question?”
If the person refused to answer, Long Chen would have to use Control to fish out the answer.
“... Sure.” The person had no more attachments to life. His wounds made it hard for him to even nod. He could barely speak as his lips quivered.
“Who injured you? How strong are the two remaining people? Is this the Seven Star Lord’s Inheritance?”
The person tried his best to answer. “Feng Zhilin … Seven Star Lord …”
Long Chen frowned. He had obtained two key pieces of information. This place was most likely the tomb of the Seven Star Lord, but more importantly, Feng Zhilin was here. Long Chen had a feeling that the second survivor was Aunt Snow. Both of them were at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. Out of the six people in this place, three had died and the fourth was dying. Feng Zhilin was probably thinking that the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord was going to be hers.
“Friend, I need your help …” the person requested.
“What is it?”
“Kill me.”
Long Chen knew that this man had no hope of surviving. Rather than being tortured in his last moments, it would be better to kill him swiftly.
Long Chen nodded and ended the person's life. Long Chen then left this place and looked at the blue planet. What a coincidence for both of us to be here. Since I can take your Martial God Tombstone, I can also take your Seven Star Lord Inheritance!
