DRAGON BLOODED WAR GOD

Chapter 355: Traceless Demon Shadow

At the topmost floor of the Martial Library, Long Chen received his first Heaven-tier combat technique: Traceless Demon Shadow. He finally felt more assured when he put the scripture, made of an unknown paper-like material, into his Universe Pouch.

This would be his task for the next twenty days. Since he had already made such a huge promise, then he had to master Traceless Demon Shadow before then! There were three Great Secret Scriptures in the Heavenly Demon Palace, and his goal was to obtain them all while simultaneously raising his cultivation level.

He had completed his first step. Of course, it was not actually completeit only counted if he mastered Traceless Demon Shadow. If not, the scripture would have to be given to Yang Jun and he would become the joke of the clan.

Take some time to familiarize yourself with it. If you dont understand anything, you can ask me, Zhao Qingyun said.

Long Chen nodded. However, he knew that he would always understand the theory because the mysterious dragon jade gave him strong comprehension abilities. What he lacked was the ability to execute, so he would need twenty days to practice.

After bidding Zhao Qingyun farewell, he returned to the place where he frequently cultivated, which was the peak of Demon Emperor Mountain. There, he sat on his usual boulder and started to cultivate Traceless Demon Shadow.

Traceless Demon Shadow. Heaven-tier techniques are indeed extraordinary

As Long Chen read through the scripture, he felt that regular techniques could not compare to its ingenuity and power. The most complicated technique he had cultivated so far was the advanced Earth-tier Divine Fire Clone. However, this was ten times more subtle than Divine Fire Clone.

With his supernatural comprehension abilities, he easily understood the scripture. The next step was cultivation.

Ling Xi sat next to him, watching the process. She had a lot of knowledge about Heaven-tier techniques, which was of great help to him.

Understanding was easy. Cultivating was not. He faced great difficulty in the practical usage of the theories as every step of the process was very different from the last. Each step had to be performed consecutively before he could complete Traceless Demon Shadow. It was indeed not easy to utilize the full Traceless Demon Shadow and achieve a traceless effect.

However, if one could master it, then the user would be able to instantly create tens of thousands of split-images of himself like the Third Demon Elder had done. The opponent would find it difficult to distinguish the real person and his images; even a same-level opponent would struggle to track his movement.

Traceless Demon Shadow really isnt easy. My speed gets out of control very easily. Xiao Xi, what do you think Im lacking? Long Chen stopped his practice. This was already his fifth day cultivating Traceless Demon Shadow, but he knew that he had not made much progress. At least he had not truly felt the essence of Traceless Demon Shadow yet.

I feel like youre lacking something, said Ling Xi, cocking her head to the side.

But she could not place a finger on what it was.

Ill practice for a while more, then go visit Stepfather and the rest, and also Wang Xing. Its time I give him the stuff I previously promised him.

Long Chen practiced for a while, then he packed up and quickly descended the mountain with Xiaolang and Ling Xi. It took him fifteen minutes to arrive at Xuanxiaos place. After spending some time with Xuanxiao, he headed to the Azure Cloud Residence.

The other direct disciples were chatting. When they saw him arrive, they all took a few steps back and no one dared talk to him. They knew that he was very likely the Long Chen from the rumors. That Long Chen had killed way too many people, so they were instinctively a little scared of him.

However, they did think that he had overestimated himself after his dramatic declaration in front of the Martial Library. They knew that he was strong, but at his current cultivation level, he wasnt that strong.

Long Chen did not care about the odd looks he received. These people were mere passersby to him, and there was no need to fret over their opinions. He returned to his own quarters to find Wang Xing cleaning his room.

Wang Xing, Long Chen called gently.

Brother Chen? Youre finally back! Ive waited for a long time! He looked like he was cleaning, but he was mostly waiting for Long Chens return. He was overjoyed to see Long Chen and scurried over to look at him expectantly.

Wang Xing was currently at the Heavenly Core Realm, but his strongest combat technique was only an intermediate Black-tier combat technique. Long Chen wrote down some notes about the Sword Devil Finger, then he handed them to Wang Xing and even gave him some divine jades, Heavenly River Pills, and a large number of spiritual herbs he had taken from others.

Thank you, Brother Chen! Wang Xing was so overwhelmed that he almost knelt in front of Long Chen. Fortunately, Long Chen grabbed him, so he did not kneel.

Work hard on your cultivation. Take a look at it now; you may ask me if you dont understand anything. I need to resume my cultivation soon, Long Chen said, sitting on a stone stool.

The teenager looked at him with fire and worship in his eyes, as well as battle spirit. That was why Long Chen did not mind helping him. This could end up changing his life.

After studying the Sword Devil Finger for a while, Wang Xing told him nervously, Brother Chen, could you go out with me once? Ive been too scared to go out these few days. I want to buy something from the Treasure Pavilion.

Why are you too scared to go out? Long Chen was stunned.

I Do you remember the people who bullied me last time? They are the Third Demon Elders disciples, which is why theyve always been very arrogant. Im just an errand boy, so Im inferior both in terms of status and strength. Thats why Im too afraid to go out. However, if I have you with me, Ill go! Youre much stronger than them!

Are they still bullying you? Long Chen frowned.

Mhm. Wang Xing nodded. But last time, I escaped on my own. They threatened to beat me up every time they see me.

Wang Xing was actually still a little scared.

What do you want to buy? Long Chen wanted to see if he had it in his Universe Pouch. If he did, he could give it to him directly.

Red Heart Grass, Wang Xing answered.

Long Chen did not have that. It was probably a Black-tier item. Although he had collected many Black-tier items, he did not have everything. In fact, he felt that as his cultivation level increased, such things became more and more useless to him.

Alright. Ill go with you. Long Chen nodded and stood up.

He knew that within every faction, the marketplace where the exchange of goods happened was the busiest place in the area. Long Chen was now a celebrity in the Heavenly Demon Palace, so he would be watched like a monkey. However, he had no fear in his heart and naturally was not afraid of the odd looks.

Thank you, Brother Chen! Ill lead the way! Wang Xing packed up excitedly and stood aside for Long Chen to exit. Then he ran up happily to Long Chen to lead the way.

Long Chen had not been to the Treasure Pavilion. The Demon Pavilion and the Martial Library were iconic landmarks in the Heavenly Demon Palace. From the outside, the Treasure Pavilion looked like a gigantic tortoise laying on the ground, taking up a large piece of land.

He could feel its lavishness only when he approached. A thick medicinal fragrance could be detected even from far away. This place held many shockingly precious treasures, and Long Chen guessed that everything the disciples needed could be found there.

Purchases were usually made using Heavenly River Pills. Prices were only stated in divine jades if their values were too low.

When he was just about to enter, Xiaolang turned around and walked to the wall of the mountain and lay down. He closed his eyes, waiting for Long Chen. Xiaolang did not need to cultivate these days; he was waiting for Long Chen to master Traceless Demon Shadow and defeat Yang Jun because only then would he get the chance to enter the Pyro Passageways. Then it would be his time to shine. If he had enough resources, he would surpass Long Chen in the blink of an eye.

Xiaolang did not want to enter a crowded place, and Long Chen did not mind. He followed Wang Xing into the Treasure Pavilion. The people within the bustling crowd recognized him.

Look! Isnt that Long Chen? The Palace Lords ninth direct disciple?

I heard hes already received Traceless Demon Shadow! He even announced that he would master it in twenty days! Do you guys believe him?

Nonsense! Only an idiot would believe him. I dont really believe hes Long Chen in the first place. That legendary brute not only killed the six commanders of the royal guard, he also even killed the dwarf patriarch, who was at the Eighth River Stage! Does he look like he can do that?

Nope. This brat looks like a pretty boy.

Similar discussions erupted.

All these idiots! Once Brother Chen beats all of you up, youll learn of his power! Ling Xi was angry at the insults directed at Long Chen.

Ignore them. When the time comes, they will change their minds about me. Itll be useless for me to explain now. Might as well go with the flow, Long Chen said with a chuckle.

Ever since that old man became your master, your personality slowly started changing. The old you would have beat them up if they said anything that made you unhappy, said Ling Xi, pursing her lips.

That just means I have matured! Im filled with the irresistible maturity of a man!

They traveled towards the source of the medicinal fragrance
