Chapter 937 - Rank One Divine-tier Martial Technique

The Scarlet Flames Demon Blade swung wildly, but all of its attacks missed. Tao Feng almost went crazy when he couldn’t hit Long Chen at all. He was certain that Long Chen was toying with him!

His strength is very unstable, but he shouldn’t be stronger than someone at the Eighth Heavenly Martial Stage. But how is he so fast?

Tao Feng had spent a lot of years in the Underworld Battlefield, surviving all on his own. This was the first time he had encountered someone like Long Chen.

Long Chen used the True Martial Overlord Soul and took his time fighting Tao Feng in order to learn more about the Heavenly Martial Realm. At the same time, he was also talking to Little Cat.

“Little Cat, what was he talking about just now? Something about his weapon and my Emperor’s Vanquishers being Rank One Divine-tier.”

Little Cat looked at Long Chen with disdain. “Everything at the Heavenly Martial Realm and below are separated into the elementary, intermediate, and advanced ranks. But once you are at the Divine Martial Realm, the gap between martial techniques and Divine Weapons are extremely huge between stages. So that’s why they are further separated into nine different ranks.

“Your Emperor’s Manual and the Underworld Soldiers’ Killing God Sutra are both at Rank One. The Divine Martial Condensation Pill that you obtained can technically be placed in Rank Two.

“To be honest, you can technically split everything within the Heavenly Martial Realm into nine different ranks too, but the difference between each rank is slim, so they just condensed it into the three different categories of elementary, intermediate, and advanced. This is no longer applicable to the Divine Martial Realm, however.”

This was news to Long Chen.

Both the Emperor's Manual and the Emperor’s Vanquishers were Rank One Divine-tier.

In that sense, everything that Long Chen had obtained from the Five Emperors weren’t technically exceptional items.

“Demon Flames Octaslash!”

Tao Feng became angry after being toyed with by Long Chen, especially since he was at the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage!

Tao Feng slashed at Long Chen as the Scarlet Flame Demon Blade danced rhythmically.

That should be a Rank One Divine-tier martial technique too. Long Chen was confident in blocking it.

His Emperor’s Manual final technique, Shattered Void, was also a Rank One Divine-tier martial technique. That meant that the difference between Rank One Divine-tier martial techniques was huge too.

“Emperor’s Arrival! Shifting Galaxies!”

Two fists, one golden and one black, combined together with Yin and Yang energy. The fists crashed against the eight slashes of Tao Feng’s Scarlet Flame Demon Blade. The ground shook, but in the end, both of them were fine.

The flames were extinguished, but Tao Feng still couldn’t injure Long Chen.

Tao Feng was a Hundred-Sergeant, while Long Chen was only a regular soldier! It was an insult to Tao Feng!

In reality, Long Chen was a Sergeant, but he hadn’t taken the time to collect the uniform and Underworld Armor meant for his rank. That was why he was still technically a regular soldier.

If he were a Sergeant, he would’ve been given the Killing God Sutra, the Rank One Divine-tier martial technique.

In Tao Feng’s eyes, Long Chen was like a slippery eel. Even if he landed an attack, Tao Feng couldn’t do any significant damage. On the other hand, Long Chen’s incredible speed meant that he could toy with Tao Feng all day long.

The Emperor’s Manual wasn’t a notably strong martial technique. There were other Rank One Divine-tier martial techniques stronger than it. However, the Emperor’s Manual had one special property: its will. This was a technique made by the strongest individual of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. The will of a leader who stood above millions wasn’t something a regular cultivator would experience in the Three Royal Territories.

The Fourth Divine Martial Realm was called the Peak Martial Stage. In that stage, the cultivator would have to temper their own will to the peak. The Seventh Divine Martial Stage was called the Heaven and Earth Dharma, which required the cultivator to understand the will of Heaven and Earth. The will of the people, the Heavens, the Earth, and the martial technique had always been an important aspect of one’s strength.

Tao Feng saw Long Chen’s rapid transformation in front of his eyes.

A simple punch, one without the disdain of Emperor’s Arrival or the might of Shifting Galaxies. It was a simple punch, but Tao Feng felt fear!

“Nine Consecutive Demon Flames!”

Tao Feng roared and swung his blade nine times. Everytime it did, flames surged towards Long Chen, but the flames were broken by Long Chen’s simple punch.

Tao Feng was stunned as he saw the space in front of him collapsing and cracking apart.

But in reality, nothing had changed. It was just a manifestation of the technique’s will.

Tao Feng thought the space in front of him had cracked, and so it did.

The flames broke apart and the force hit him squarely in his chest. In just that short time, his internal organs shattered into pieces.

“You ...” The last thing Tao Feng saw was Long Chen’s eyes filled with pity.

Long Chen slowly walked past the cracked space.

“Unfortunately, you didn’t manage to avoid my attack.”

Long Chen shook his head and threw Tao Feng’s body into the river. He could not wear Tao Feng’s armor since it was inscribed with Tao Feng’s name. Instead, Long Chen took his storage ring. There were various treasures in it such as the Scarlet Demon Flame Blade and two hundred thousand Emperor Crystals.”

“Looks like I can afford to feed Little Gold for a little longer.”

Little Gold was the nickname Long Chen had given to the Golden Thunder Beast. It was so tacky that Long Chen couldn’t say it out loud in front of others. However, the Golden Thunder Beast wasn’t a real being—it was just a natural force that had some sort of sentience.

It was technically parasitizing Long Chen’s body, so it was technically part of Long Chen too.

Long Chen gave the Golden Thunder Beast several thousand Emperor Crystals first.

He had to admit that Tao Feng was unlucky. Long Chen didn’t like killing people for no reason. He also had to thank Tao Feng for being his sparring partner for so long.

Unfortunately, Tao Feng had tried to trick Long Chen. Long Chen preferred a righteous and fair battle and despised what Tao Feng had tried to do to a supposed “weakling” here in the Underworld Battlefield.

After dealing with the aftermath, Long Chen looked around and frowned. The Underworld Blood River stretched throughout the Underworld Battlefield, and the stench of rot and blood was everywhere.

He wasn’t certain how long he would have to stay here, but the compass would allow him to find his way back at any time, so he wasn’t worried. He continued to follow the river downstream.

“I wonder how Ye Xuan is doing. Where are his sister and General Su Mo?”
