Chapter 7114 Gamble!

When the eight-color divine ring appeared, heaven and earth shuddered. The Grand Dao rumbled in resonance with it.

Long Chen was now a sixth-Heavenstage Sovereign Lord. He had his own law power which resonated with the outside world’s law power. The amount he controlled had increased explosively. By sheer virtue of its presence, the eight-color divine ring exuded incredible pressure, enough to shock even a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign.

The gap between a Sovereign Lord and a Divine Sovereign was how much law power they had within them, and how much law power they could control. If a Sovereign Lord controlled enough law power to fit in a cup of water, then advancing through the Heavenstages resulted in this cup turning into a bowl and eventually into a bucket.

A Divine Sovereign controlled an entire barrel of law power, while a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign controlled three barrels. But the three barrels were linked, and the power they produced was not simply a matter of addition, but one of multiplication. Thus, the gap between ordinary Divine Sovereigns and triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns was in fact substantially larger than that between ordinary Divine Sovereigns and Sovereign Lords.

In the new era, the rising heavenly geniuses also had their own advantages. Although a Sovereign Lord only had a cupful of power as a baseline, that cupful was held in a sealed container. As long as the container was strong enough, they could keep pouring in power; their law power was compressed to unleash explosive strength.

This was also why the stronger the heavenly genius, the less likely they would be in a rush to advance. With every advancement, the cup grew. But as the cup grew, its walls thinned. Although the absolute amount of energy stored was greater, it was less compressed. The increase in cultivation base could cause their power to actually drop if they did not undergo sufficient tempering between advancements.

To grow in sheer power but become weaker in combat? That was a major cultivation taboo. Thus, without exception, all the peak heavenly geniuses were compressing their core energy as much as they could.

Slow-flowing water couldn’t do anything. But a rapid current could break rocks; as for a high-pressure jet of water, it could even pierce through diamond. Thus, in theory, explosive power was the crux to victory. Sword cultivators were a prime example of this: They were publicly acclaimed as the greatest in explosive power because they were able to concentrate all their power into the thin edge of their sword. Their attacks were completely unstoppable, making them the terror of all cultivators.

At the same time, the pressure resulting from compressing all their power was also not something an ordinary person could endure, and the majority of sword cultivators had weak bodies. The only reason they were able to compress all their power was their unique cultivation system. Of course, the very same cultivation system, however, stopped them from doing absolutely anything else. Other cultivators had their own paths as well—for example, Long Chen went to great lengths training his physical body so that he could compress and control his power.

When the eight-color ring appeared in the sky, Long Chen’s law power mixed with the world’s law power, and his aura grew explosively.

The Star Cloud Hand slowly clenched. The space around the battleship began to twist and collapse.

Tens of thousands of experts unleashed all their power. Their law power ignited.

Curiously, these tens of thousands of experts were all heavenly geniuses of the current era, and many were already late-stage Sovereign Lords. But even though all of them were burning their blood and souls to reinforce the barrier, none of them were music cultivators except for Miao Yin.

Long Chen was surprised to discover that. Were they not from the Heavenly Sound Sect? But in that case, why were they risking their lives for her?

The Star Cloud Hand was not blocking them from fleeing. It was an actual hand, and they could simply escape through the gaps between the fingers. The fact that not one of them was running made Long Chen interested in Miao Yin’s methods.

Miao Yin’s expression was still calm. “Mister, why do you have to make things hard on me?”

Long Chen did not reply. But Zi Yan laughed. “Since you wanted to recruit my husband, you had to be ready for my husband to recruit you instead. This is the cycle of karma. Little sister, your Red Dust Immortal Seeking is all about finding destiny, isn’t it? My husband is unmatched in combat and knowledge alike. His divine techniques shake the world. He’s also incredibly handsome and very loving. He stands at the very pinnacle of this world’s heavenly geniuses. There has never been anyone like him in the past, and there will never be anyone who can eclipse him in the future. Being my husband’s handmaid will definitely not lower your status."

“What the...?” Long Chen stared at Zi Yan in shock. He had never expected such words to come out of her mouth. “My dear wife, I must be honest... I am at most a hundred times better than what you just said. Hehe, it’s better to be low-key, yes, very low-key...”

Since this was how Zi Yan wanted to play it, Long Chen followed along. With his wife supporting him, what was there for him to fear?

With the two of them playing off of each other, even Miao Yin was starting to lose control of herself. Fury appeared in her gaze. She was the Grand Music Maestro of the Heavenly Sound Sect, the leader of the four Music Maestros. She had great ambitions, and was competing with the Music Grandmaster to become the future sect master! That was why she was recruiting experts, people who were exceptionally talented and had immense talent.

When they passed by Long Chen and Zi Yan, she immediately noticed that they were extraordinary and stopped them. The reason Long Chen hadn’t sensed any maliciousness from her and her subordinates was that they really weren’t malicious. As long as they joined her, Miao Yin would make sure that they had no regrets.

Her divine ability allowed her to help other people in their cultivation. She could allow their cultivation bases to soar rapidly with virtually no consequences. While most people were compelled to join her through force, once they actually experienced her abilities, they wouldn’t leave even if they were pushed out.

As a result, she had become very... direct when recruiting people as of late. The result was the same either way, so the process didn’t matter. Thus, although she had not specifically ordered them to capture Long Chen and Zi Yan, she had already stated that she wanted to recruit anyone who was talented. Even though it was the golden-armored warrior who had given the order, she was still the responsible party.

The unfortunate thing was that the one she ended up provoking was Long Chen. She had not expected to encounter such a terrifying existence. Worse still, the duo’s attitude was infuriating. It felt as if they were bullying her. They talked as if they held her in no regard at all. A peak heavenly genius of the Heavenly Sound Sect becoming a maid? That was absolutely unthinkable!

“Since the two of you look so favorably upon a powerless girl like me, then it’s not impossible for me to be your maid,” said Miao Yin. “Why don’t we have a little gamble? I will fight you, young master. If you win, I will be your woman. Even if I am just a bedwarmer, I won’t complain. If I win, you will submit and become my servant. Are the two of you willing?”

Hearing that, Long Chen was dumbfounded. He waved his hand, and the Star Cloud Hand dissipated. He shook his head and said, “Never mind, this matter ends here.”

He found that Miao Yin wasn’t actually a bad person. He was unable to bully someone like her. Although he had Zi Yan’s encouragement, he wasn’t such a person, even if Miao Yin really was bewitching.

Seeing Long Chen retreat, the experts on the battleship cheered. Their gazes turned contemptuous. Clearly, Miao Yin was a peerless goddess in their hearts. She could not be beaten, and the two were obviously running away because they had realized that.

Naturally, Long Chen didn’t give a rat’s ass about what was in their hearts. Yet just as he was preparing to leave, rumbling rang out. A blazing battleship rose above the horizon like a meteorite going the wrong way, flying right in their direction.

A pained and vexed voice rang out loudly over the sea.

“Fairy Miao Yin, I called on you three times, but you refused to see me. Now you’ve even left without saying goodbye! Fairy Miao Yin, do you really hate me this much?”
