Chapter 6381 Inner Robe, Outer Robe?

When Long Chen killed the last Netherdragon expert on his side, Cang Lu had already finished his own battle. His efficiency was no less than Long Chen’s.

In just a few breaths, the two of them had killed all the experts of the vile dragon race and the Netherdragon race.

Normally, Long Chen wouldn’t have bothered with such weaklings. But the vile dragon race and the Netherdragon race were his mortal enemies. That was especially true of the Netherdragon race. They had betrayed the dragon race and then turned against the nine heavens themselves. For that, he showed no mercy.

Long Chen sat suspended in the air as their Sovereign flames flowed around him. Endless energy surged through his body, and with it, a new Sovereign flame was born.

The 994th flame appeared, and his aura erupted to a new height.

Two hours later, another Sovereign flame was born. A day and night later, Long Chen had advanced from 993 Sovereign flames to 997.

The more flames he gathered, the harder each became to condense. When he finally birthed his 997th, Long Chen understood at last the meaning of the “final three steps” Di Mengyao had spoken of.

The last three steps referred to the 997th, 998th, and 999th Sovereign flames.

It was a bit like Long Chen’s cultivation realms. While other experts cultivated to the peak of nine Heavenstages before entering the final realm, Long Chen had an additional three steps, and those three steps were each as difficult as ascending the heavens.

They were not only impossibly hard to achieve but also marked a power gap as vast as a chasm. When his 997th Sovereign flame took form, all the rest underwent a qualitative transformation.

His Sovereign flames blazed with new brilliance, raging like endless rivers. His dragon blood, violet blood, and Supreme Blood converged upon his Supreme Bone. Above it, endless stars flowed, mixing with his bloodlines and astral energy.

“Supreme Bone, you really are incredible,” Long Chen murmured. It felt like a cosmos of its own, capable of holding anything.

Relief washed over him. If he had not reclaimed it, how could he have cultivated this far?

Long Chen stretched out his hand and clenched it gently. As a result, the void rumbled, collapsing into a whirlpool. A simple probe had caused ripples, astral winds, and rubble to blast outward.

“The power of my physical body has increased again! I should be able to fully control the Starry Sky Battle Robe now!”

With a thought, the robe appeared, draping over him as astral energy poured through his body.

“Hehe, it’s easy! Ignite!”

At his shout, the stars lit. A tide of wild power surged, releasing a pressure so immense that the surrounding mountains instantly crumbled.

But in the next breath, Long Chen hurriedly withdrew the robe. He rolled up his sleeve and froze.

His skin had turned blood-red, branded with specks of stars. The intense pain struck his mind directly.

Staring at his arm, Long Chen muttered in astonishment, “Ah, so the Starry Sky Battle Robe is actually split into an inner robe and an outer robe. Once I can endure its power, it brands its star diagrams directly onto my skin. It’s a good thing my body has grown stronger. Otherwise, how will I withstand this power?”

Thinking of this, Long Chen sighed. The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was truly terrifying. Its demands on the body were nothing short of monstrous.

Long Chen summoned the Starry Sky Battle Robe once again, and astral energy started carving itself into his skin.

This time, he refrained from igniting his astral energy. The process was gentler—but only slightly.

Gritting his teeth, Long Chen finally ignited his astral energy. The next moment, waves of pain tore through his body. The agony was nearly unbearable, but the speed at which the star diagrams carved themselves into him increased severalfold.

Such a brutal method was too damaging to his body, even if he could endure it mentally.

“Ugh, I guess I’ll just have to keep the Starry Sky Battle Robe on at all times. Wearing something this flashy does suit me,” he muttered.

He gazed down at the black robe embroidered with endless stars. It was like draping himself in the cosmos, and he couldn’t help but like the feeling.

“Senior, keep helping me find more!”

Long Chen sat cross-legged and formed hand seals. His dragon blood energy ignited, and his perception spread outward.

This method was practically cheating. After just one taste of it, Long Chen couldn’t stop. Compared to this, even the finest medicinal pills were lacking. This was by far the most efficient path for his growth. He had to hurry. The more hostile dragon experts he killed, the faster his power would soar.

“You clearly have a better method. Why waste my energy?” asked the Earth Cauldron irritably.

“Ah, that’s right!”

Long Chen had already forgotten about the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest. With a thought, he summoned the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest.

This divine weapon had slumbered for countless years before being unearthed by the Netherdragon race, only to fall into Long Chen’s hands. The moment he touched it, it acknowledged him as its master.

Although heavily damaged, it was nourished by Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength and had already recovered a trace of its divine energy.

Long Chen walked inside. A vast hall stretched before him, and at its center stood a mighty throne. When he saw the throne, space rippled, and a white-haired, white-robed elder appeared upon it.

“A white dragon elder?” Long Chen murmured in surprise.

The elder radiated a sacred aura, unmistakably the mark of the white dragons.

“The white dragon race’s Bai Fan greets the mighty crownless Great Sovereign,” the elder said, bowing deeply.

“Senior, there’s no need for such courtesy!” Long Chen hurried to stop him.

The title—crownless Sovereign—immediately made him think of the Sovereign King Dragon Crown. No wonder the Divine Nest had recognized him so quickly.

“Great Sovereign, do you wish to hunt down the Netherdragon race and the vile dragon race? I will activate the grand formation for you right now,” said the elder.

Without a single gesture, a massive map materialized before Long Chen. Countless points of light shimmered across it.

“Oh, this many?”

Long Chen’s eyes widened. He almost drooled when he saw all those specks of light.
