Chapter 7299 The Essence of Split the Heavens

By the time that Long Chen returned to the academy, news that he had destroyed the Holy Brahma Land had already reached there.

When they learned that the ones who had started this were people from the Brahma line, everyone was outraged. However, there was a long way from righteous outrage to charging into the Holy Brahma Land, and Long Chen had done it all on his own!

Shi Yu reverently bid Long Chen and Miao Yin goodbye and left in high spirits, but once she returned to Wind Bell Valley, she became uneasy once more. She went straight to Gao Qian and told him everything she had witnessed.

After pondering it for a moment, Gao Qian told Shi Yu not to worry about it. Two major forces like the High Firmament Academy and the Brahma line wouldn’t go to war lightly.

“But Long Chen destroyed his holy land! You don’t know... Many people died!”

Shi Yu’s worries could not be assuaged so easily. Those were Lord Brahma’s followers, and their status was incredibly high. Normally, the likes of Wind Bell Valley’s members would have to clear the road whenever these people passed by. If a conflict arose, it would bring quite a bit of trouble. Yet with a mere wave of his hand, Long Chen had killed countless of these exalted people. Would the Brahma line really tolerate such a thing?

Furthermore, she had been standing beside Long Chen when he did so. Wouldn’t the Brahma line hold a grudge against Wind Bell Valley as a result? Wind Bell Valley was merely a third-rate force; how were they supposed to survive?

“You’re really overthinking it. But you did very well this time!” Gao Qian smiled.

“I don’t understand...” Shi Yu was lost. How was any of this a good thing? She was almost frightened to death.

“This is a contest between two titans, and that means a couple of things. First, they will not gamble everything on a clash before the situation is clear, so there’s no way this will escalate into an all-out war. Second, countless people saw you standing with Long Chen, so they will naturally believe you have a relationship with him. Long Chen is famous for being protective; anyone who touches one of his people is definitely courting death. Third, there’s no need to worry about the Brahma line; unless they really do want to start a war with the High Firmament Academy, they will definitely order their disciples not to provoke Long Chen. As a result, they will not strike at us either. If anything, they might even send some—”

As if on cue, a disciple ran over with a report.

“Deputy Valley Master, someone who claims to be an emissary of Pill Valley wishes to see you!”

Shi Yu was filled with disbelief, but Gao Qian merely smiled slightly. The Brahma line was moving even faster than he had expected.

“Let’s go. Watch how I act. Remember, we are the victims, and we have Long Chen’s support. We don’t need to fear anyone...”

...

Once Shi Yu left, Long Chen received a bit of surprising news. The palace master had come out of seclusion!

A few moments later, Long Chen entered a secluded room. Before he could even greet the palace master, though, he felt almost suffocated by the pressure generated by his sheer presence. Without a powerful enough physical body, this aura alone would tear him to pieces.

“Congratulations on successfully advancing to the Heavenly Sovereign realm!” praised Long Chen.

The palace master had successfully taken this step. However, having only just advanced, his aura was a bit chaotic.

“This room is helping me block my aura, but I can sense that heavenly tribulation has locked onto me. I have been waiting for you to protect me as I undergo my tribulation!” said the palace master.

Long Chen’s eyes instantly lit up. Was there such a good thing? He could sense Lei Linger inside the primal chaos space—she had instantly perked up.

The tribulation of a Heavenly Sovereign... If Lei Linger can get a bite of that... Long Chen was invigorated just thinking about the possibilities.

“Palace Master, I encountered someone in the Holy Brahma Land...” Long Chen told the palace master about the gray-robed man.

“He is most likely one of the eight divine commanders, Chi Yan. He is very powerful, but he has great restraint. In the primal chaos era, he was quite a famous figure. His Crimson Scale Heavenly Flame is truly terrifying, to the point where it’s accepted as a man-made Heavenly Flame. In terms of destructive power, it’s undoubtedly on par with the top ten of the Heavenly Flame Rankings. From what I’ve heard, it’s actually on the same level as the Sun Flame,” said the palace master.

“That powerful?” Long Chen was shocked to hear that. A flame that he had condensed himself was capable of rivaling the Sun Flame?

“However, he suffered heavy injuries in the primal chaos war. Based on what you’ve told me, although he has advanced to the Heavenly Sovereign realm, the damage to his core has yet to heal. Otherwise, his Grand Dao power would be like a blazing flame, not the kind of weak fluctuation you felt,” said the palace master.

“As expected, the reputation of the eight divine commanders is not for nothing. It seems that Long Can and Le Xing deceived me!” Long Chen narrowed his eyes. Despite being fellow divine commanders, there were still large power gaps between them.

“Le Xing was basically crippled. The truth was that Lord Brahma had already given up on him, but he wasn’t going to just dispose of him, or it would have caused worries among the other divine commanders. Thus, he used your hands to get rid of him. As for Long Can, she was not just a pawn he had raised in order to get his hands on the Jiuli Tower. In truth, her cultivation potential was actually massive, and she would have earned her place among them. But that potential was something that needed to be out after Lord Brahma recovered. You didn’t give her that chance,” said the palace master.

Long Chen was surprised. It seemed he had truly underestimated Long Can and Le Xing, and maybe even the Silver Hair Void Crusher. Well, in all fairness, that made sense. If someone like Lord Brahma had picked them, that meant they could not possibly be random nobodies.

Suddenly, the palace master took out a talisman. When he saw that talisman and sensed its aura, Long Chen was deeply shaken.

“That’s...”

He was all too familiar with this aura—it was the same aura as the golden talisman the palace master had used to unleash a devastating sword attack just a while back. The scene of the palace master putting this talisman on the High Firmament Sword and unleashing a heaven-rending strike was still fresh in his memory. Even a Heavenly Sovereign had to flee in front of that sword. How could Long Chen possibly forget it?

“The sweeping elder wanted me to give this to you before my tribulation.” The palace master sent that golden talisman flying towards Long Chen.

Long Chen carefully caught it. He saw that the talisman was covered in tiny and very densely packed runes. These runes looked completely chaotic; it wasn’t even clear where one ended and the next one started. It was as if a child had just randomly scribbled all over a page.

But then, Long Chen’s eyes suddenly widened. Now that he looked more closely, these runes actually seemed a bit familiar.

He focused his mind, and slowly, the runes began to look somewhat different. Instead of a chaotic hodgepodge, they seemed more like a number of overlapping layers. Indeed, this talisman was made of nine incredibly complex runes layered on top of each other!

The reason it looked chaotic at first glance was this overlap. Once they were separated into clear layers, their image was clear. He could feel the Dao-charm of every rune, of every stroke. Every single one of these runes radiated the will to split the heavens and cleave the earth. Every single one of them could shake a god!

As he let that familiar will permeate him, Long Chen’s hand began to tremble.

“The nine forms of Split the Heavens...”
