Chapter 7038 Violet Flames Incinerate the Heavens
“Big brother, do you want to try it?” asked Xie Wanyi probingly.
This technique was something she had also tried to learn. But these thirty-six hand seals were so complex that she couldn’t understand the proper sequence for the life of her, even though it was right in front of her. She had memorized every seal, yet when she tried to use them, nothing happened whatsoever.
The same was true for the others. This Saint Sword Judgment was something only the Saint Body could use, and there were only just over three hundred people who had awakened a Saint Body. Yet, not a single one of them had managed to learn it. Everyone was looking for a reason, but they couldn’t find it. As a result, Shen Qingxue and the others could only thicken their face and entrust it to Long Chen.
Long Chen glanced at Xie Wanyi. He understood what these naive brats wanted from him, and fortunately for them, he was here to provide it.
He said, “I can understand this technique, and I believe I can use it. But my own law power is insufficient to completely display this technique.”
“We don’t mind! If you can just show it to us, even if it’s at half power, that’s enough!” exclaimed Shen Qingxue.
“Fine, then I’ll try it.” Long Chen helplessly shook his head. He took a deep breath. Violet qi began to gather around him.
The ☷ essence rune appeared on his forehead, and his fingers shifted into a hand seal. But when they saw it, everyone was baffled. Long Chen’s first hand seal was… the seventeenth of the thirty-six listed there.
He continued to form hand seals. Shen Qingxue and the others had long since memorized them, so they could easily tell that he was not doing them in proper order.
“Nineteenth… ninth… twenty-first… thirty-third…”
Everyone watched his hands closely, memorizing his sequence of hand seals. This was the crux to activating this technique.
Lightning clouds rumbled above Long Chen, turning into a massive vortex. A pressure that felt almost holy descended upon them, causing space itself to rumble.
“He’s really doing it…”
Xie Wanyi and the others were excited and shocked at the same time. How was it that this divine technique that had left the geniuses of Violet Abyss helpless was instantly grasped by Long Chen? What kind of monster was he?
BOOM!
The lightning clouds slowly split open by the time Long Chen formed the sixteenth seal. Sacred light penetrated through the clouds. The tip of a sword stretched out of the vortex.
Shen Qingxue and the others felt a terrifying pressure crash down on them. Their bodies shuddered in spite of themselves, and they almost collapsed on the ground.
“It’s just the tip of the Saint Sword! How is it so powerful?! Who in this world could possibly block it?”
Everyone was shocked. No wonder the rumors said that the divine techniques here had the power to destroy heaven and earth!
After the twentieth hand seal, part of the blade appeared. It felt like the entire world was about to burst.
Shen Qingxue and the others were quivering. It felt like a massive mountain was crushing them, and they could barely breathe. However, they were too excited to care; all they did was focus on Long Chen’s hand seals and memorize them to the most minute detail.
Long Chen continued. The violet qi around him ignited, and his violet blood boiled.
On the thirty-second hand seal, most of the blade had extended out of the vortex of lightning clouds. Energy rippled from it. Shen Qingxue and the others had already summoned their Saint Bodies, but they were forced to kneel on the ground, unable to even raise their heads under this pressure.
“What kind of terrifying power is this?!” Everyone was excited and shocked. This power was beyond their comprehension.
But at the same time, Long Chen’s hands began to shudder. On the thirty-third hand seal, he was forced to stop. His violet blood was exhausted.
“I knew it, this technique isn’t something that we can use right now! Why the hell don’t you believe me when I tell you something…” Long Chen grumbled.
It was at this moment that the violet-gold polearm in his spiritual space vibrated slightly.
“What the…” Long Chen was shocked. Bloodline power and law power were pouring into his body! At this moment, his body became less of a pond and more of a canal, a conduit for energy. The violet-gold polearm was giving Long Chen its power! And if Long Chen’s violet blood energy supply was the size of a pond, then the violet-gold polearm’s violet blood energy was like the sea.
There was now a canal connecting the pond to the sea. In other words, for all intents and purposes, Long Chen now had unlimited power!
With this, Long Chen cast the final three hand seals.
BOOM!
A massive sword appeared in the sky, unleashing unmatched sacred light. It dropped toward the stone tablet like a bolt of lightning.
“Eh?” Long Chen was alarmed. This attack had actually gone completely out of control; he was utterly unable to do anything about it.
BOOM!
A terrifying qi wave spread from the stone tablet. Long Chen and the others were sent flying. However, while the power behind this wave was unstoppable, it didn’t cause them any particular injuries. It only sent them tumbling back.
When he got back up, Long Chen looked back at the tablet and found that it was completely safe and sound. He sighed in relief; it seemed that the tablet had drawn the attack toward it. Just as he wondered why it would do such a thing, the hand seals on the tablet began to light up one after another. They stopped at the twentieth.
Long Chen raised an eyebrow. “Any idea why it’s doing this?”
“Big brother, the tablet is testing your ability. If all thirty-six hand seals lit up, it would mean complete mastery,” explained Shen Qingxue, who had barely recovered from her shock.
Long Chen was taken aback. If that was considered full mastery, then this terrifying attack barely counted as basic proficiency. That, in and of itself, was absolutely shocking.
“Big brother, how did you find the sequence of hand seals?” asked Luo Dongcheng worshipfully.
“How did your seniors practice it before?” asked Long Chen in return.
“Well, they used the sequence you see on the tablet. But no matter how much we tried to do that, it didn’t work. We thought that perhaps the order was different, but no matter how we swapped the hand seals, it didn’t work either,” said Luo Dongcheng.
Long Chen nodded. “With the new era’s arrival, the world’s laws have changed. That is why you must change the sequence of the hand seals if you want to use this technique. There are two reasons why you could not find the proper sequence. One is that your heart was not calm enough. If your heart was calm enough, it would be like a mirror, and if you saw the tablet reflected in that mirror, grasping the sequence of hand seals would be much easier. The second reason is that you were fixed on the old sequence of hand seals. Even when you tried to come up with a new sequence, it was still based on the old one. This fixed thinking resulted in you failing to find the proper path.”
“Big brother, this technique is absolutely terrifying. There is no enemy that could stop it!” said Luo Dongcheng.
“This technique… is completely useless to us right now. With such a long cast time, not even eight hundred lives would be enough. Do you think your enemies are dumb rocks that will wait for you to unleash such a technique?” retorted Long Chen.
Luo Dongcheng was instantly embarrassed. In his excitement, he had forgotten about this fatal flaw. Or perhaps it should be said that the Violet Abyss’s disciples simply lacked experience in this regard. This kind of shortcoming could be, and usually was, fatal in an actual battle.
“Well, no matter how you put it, we now know the proper sequence of hand seals. We’ll be able to use this killer technique sooner or later!” Although their enthusiasm had been dampened, Shen Qingxue was still excited.
There were two things that made this technique so slow to cast. One was their lack of proficiency, and the other was a lack of energy. As they practiced it and their cultivation base grew, she believed that she could one day use it in combat. Thinking of how she could one day unleash such a terrifying attack, she wanted to train day and night, nonstop.
Long Chen walked over to another tablet. On it, he saw a name that made his heart shake once more.
“Blood law—Violet Flames Incinerate the Heavens!”
