Chapter 6585 Upcoming Group Tribulation

The Heavenly Dragon Pool, a sacred land where the ancestral dragon souls rested. Normally, no one was allowed to stay here.

However, the Dragonblood Legion and the others had been resting here after being brought back by Green Old Sixth. Due to how severe their injuries were, they had to borrow the sacred energy of this pool to help them recuperate.

When Long Chen arrived and saw the Dragonblood warriors with dragon qi swirling around them, Long Chen cursed.

“Green Old Sixth, you really are no good bird...”

Back in the battlefield, Long Xu had sacrificed the outsider dragons, and Long Chen had used the Sovereign King Dragon Crown to deliver their power to the Dragonblood Legion, restoring the warriors to their peak form.

Now, so many days had passed, and the Dragonblood warriors had yet to recover. Long Chen instantly realized what had happened.

“Hey, what are you talking about? You make me sound like a bad person. Do you know how precarious our situation was back then? You had me protect so many people. Do you know how many assaults I had to block? How was I supposed to block everything with only my strength? What’s wrong with making them put in a little work? They’re mostly alive, aren’t they?” argued Green Old Sixth.

Long Chen had to admit that its words were reasonable. Hence, he didn’t bother arguing over how it had extracted their energy.

The sweeping elder himself had said that it was no good bird. Since it had done a good job, Long Chen couldn’t demand too much of it.

When Long Chen arrived, there was a dense mist covering everything.

“Long Chen...”

Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, Bai Shishi, and Dong Mingyu rushed over the moment he arrived. They seemed almost fully recovered, though Cloud was still unconscious.

Back then, Green Old Sixth had not wanted to use too much of its core energy, so it had forcibly drawn on everyone else’s bloodline power to offset the strain.

The four women did not have much bloodline power, so they weren't much of a help. On the other hand, the Dragonblood Legion with their powerful bloodline power contributed the most and expended the most energy.

Thus, the four women were the first to wake up, and naturally, the first to sense Long Chen’s return.

Seeing him safe, Tang Wan-er immediately blurted the question she had been holding back this entire time.

“Long Chen, who is that white-robed fellow?”

At that mention, all four women stiffened. When that white-robed version of Long Chen appeared, Long Chen’s own aura had vanished completely. It had felt like he was possessed.

“He’s my heart-devil,” Long Chen replied, not concealing it from them.

“Your heart-devil? How is that possible? Didn’t you slay your heart-devil in the mortal world?” asked Tang Wan-er in shock.

“My heart-devil is different from the heart-devils you’re thinking of, but I have no other way of describing him. Don’t worry, I have my own ways of dealing with him. I won’t let him take advantage of me,” comforted Long Chen.

The four of them did not pursue this topic since Long Chen couldn’t explain it well either. But since he said he could deal with it, they chose to trust him.

“Long Chen, what’s going on outside? We killed so many people in the heaven region's battlefield, with several famous existences amongst them. I doubt their factions are going to let it slide,” Dong Mingyu said urgently, squeezing Long Chen’s hand.

Meng Qi and the others nodded. The name of the Heaven Earth Cauldron was simply too powerful. Practically, everyone had gone crazy for it. Despite knowing that they had very little chance of obtaining it, they had fearlessly fought for it.

The Brahma line, the four divine clans, the Zither Sect, the Kunpeng race, the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race, the Lifehunter race, and many others were considered major factions that others would not wish to offend.

That was especially true of the Brahma line and its allies. They were almost half the factions in the nine heavens. Having taken such huge losses, they would not swallow their anger.

After a while, Long Chen told his subordinates about the incidents in the Brahma holy land and the Zither Sect. When they learned that the white-robed Long Chen had destroyed the Brahma holy land on his own and suppressed Long Can, they were all shocked.

However, when they heard that the Zither Sect’s founder had brought the Heavenly Devil Zither into the Primal Chaos World, while Zi Yan’s fate was still unknown, their hearts tightened.

Long Chen then told them what the sweeping elder had told him, allowing them to relax ever so slightly. In that case, they had enough time to save Zi Yan.

“Long Chen... this dagger you gave me has been acting strange these past days. I can’t use it anymore.” Dong Mingyu said, taking out the icy dagger.

As she said, this mysterious dagger Long Chen had obtained in the Netherworld was trembling. Some strange power was calling to it.

Dong Mingyu had raised this dagger like her core weapon. But for some reason, it remained an icy dagger that refused to form a connection with her.

Even so, its edge was incredibly sharp. While they couldn’t form a spiritual connection, it still allowed her to produce shocking killing power.

The dagger started to thrum in Long Chen’s hand. The moment some of its strange runes flashed, its sharp aura grew stronger.

With a cracking sound, the wooden hilt Long Chen had crafted fell apart. The blade floated up on its own.

Long Chen looked at it and sighed.

“You’re finally leaving?” he asked.

He had known this day would come ever since the Earth Cauldron told him the dagger’s origin.

This dagger quivered in the air as if saying goodbye to him, and Long Chen nodded.

“Go. I hope that one day we will meet again as friends, not enemies.”

With a soft hum, the blade cut through the void and vanished.

“Long Chen, what is that dagger?” asked Dong Mingyu.

“It is a fragment of one of the ten primal chaos divine items—the Great Desolate Halberd.”

“The primal chaos divine item, the Great Desolate Halberd?!” All four of them cried out in unison.

Dong Mingyu murmured, “No wonder Master told me to prepare a substitute dagger. She said... it didn’t belong to me. She must have known.”

Seeing that Dong Mingyu had prepared mentally and was not disappointed, Long Chen felt much better.

Back then, Long Chen had hoped Dong Mingyu could subdue that fragment and use it to find the halberd’s main body. But he had been too naive.

This broken blade was not the main body of the Great Desolate Halberd. Now that it was called by its main body, it had to go.

Still, the fact that it had waited to say goodbye warmed his heart.

“Long Chen, what about Tianrui...?” asked Meng Qi hesitantly.

All four of them grew sad at the thought of Long Tianrui. She had become enemies with the Long clan, took on the name of a traitor, and had died for Long Chen.

Long Chen told them about Jiuli City, and how Ling Yu had taken her remains back to the first academy so Tianrui would not be alone.

Tang Wan-er trembled with fury. “Those bastards! After everything you did for them, this is how they repay you? They are working with outsider devils and getting so many of us killed! We must make them pay!”

Long Chen took a deep breath, not daring to look at the Dragonblood Legion. He asked, “How many of us died?”

Meng Qi answered, “The Dragonblood Legion lost seventeen warriors. The Hidden Dragon Legion lost 342. The dragon race lost seventeen thousand, the Four Cardinal Alliance lost five hundred thirty-thousand...”

Long Chen clenched his fists so hard that they creaked. His expression was dark.

A blood debt must be paid with blood!

Long Chen appeared above the Heavenly Dragon Pool. He formed hand seals, causing his eight-color divine ring to envelop everyone.

“Boss!”

Gu Yang and the others were instantly woken up.

“Relax and remain in a state of emptiness. You don’t need to do anything. I will help you recover!”

Eight-color divine light fluctuated, and the power of the Heavenly Daos shone down on them like the sun. Then, Long Chen used the Void Filling method that the sweeping elder had taught him to help everyone recover.

After one day, everyone was back in top condition. Then, the Four Cardinal Alliance’s Su Yu, Cui Hao, Feng You, and the others were getting ready to say goodbye.

Cui Hao said, “Long Chen, we have to report to the Four Cardinal Alliance. Also...”

He was worried that the heaven region’s battlefield disaster would implicate the alliance and wanted to help stabilize things there.

But Long Chen shook his head.

“You can’t leave, not yet. All of you will undergo tribulation with me. We will become Sovereign Lords together.”

Cui Hao and the others were astonished.

“What...?"
