Dragon War God

Chapter 787 - Tribulation of Three Lifetimes

Long Chen planned to use his strongest attack before using Rewind.

He wouldn’t die if he used Rewind. His plan was to return his body to how it was ten breaths ago. It was risky and annoying, but it was his only choice.

Long Chen had been relying on the Big Dipper Step to avoid attacks. It had been a dazzling fight, and everyone’s perception of Long Chen had changed. It was an incredible feat for him to last so long despite being at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage.

His only disadvantage was that his cultivation level was too low.

However, no one knew that Long Chen was studying the Martial God Tombstone while he was dodging with his Big Dipper Step.

At the final moment, Long Chen had spaced out and could not dodge the last attack. Everyone stood up anxiously when they saw that the Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist was going to land.

“The winner has been decided! Long Chen is going to die!”

“It was an amazing duel, but he’s too weak. It’s already amazing that he could last so long...”

Su Yan and Su Xue both looked at their father. They wanted to hear him say that Long Chen still had a card up his sleeve, but all they saw was that their father was in confusion.

“Wait... He’s trying to advance!” Bai Lan suddenly shouted when he realized what was going on.

Lei Ji, Su Xue, and Su Yan were shocked. To think that Long Chen was trying to make a breakthrough during the duel!

It was a surprising thing to do, but they were uncertain if Long Chen could win even if he advanced. He would still be hit by Situ Yu’s attack.

It was even more likely that Long Chen would die before he could advance.

The duel became extremely tense.

Bai Lan readied himself to save Long Chen. He would not let him die by Situ Yu’s hand.

The first technique of the Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist was indeed frightening. Long Chen frowned as his Martial Soul swiftly solidified. He would only have enough essence to fight against Situ Yu once the breakthrough was done.

Just then, Little Cat said from within the Primordial Realm, “Brat, you continue your cultivation. I will help you for a moment.”

Long Chen felt much safer with his words. Even with Rewind, Long Chen was still worried that something bad would happen after he took on Situ Yu’s attack. With Little Cat’s help, Long Chen felt much safer and chose to give up on evading, turning his attention to advancing.

The Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist almost landed on Long Chen.

At the last moment, Little Cat’s furry body popped out from Long Chen’s chest. Situ Yu was surprised to see the little cat when the latter’s eyes flashed black, causing Situ Yu to get caught in the illusion.

He saw Long Chen somehow manage to use the Big Dipper Step and appear to his left.

“You are fast, but can you really dodge?” Situ Yu laughed and suddenly changed directions. He punched to his left and destroyed Long Chen instantly.

“Wait, where’s the Three Thousand Star Clusters?” Blood and flesh rained down around him, but the Three Thousand Star Clusters did not appear. Situ Yu was confused. He was even more confused when the flesh disappeared.

“What’s happening?” Situ Yu was still bewildered by the scene in front of him. He shook his head and broke out of the illusion to find that Long Chen was still in his original position. Situ Yu had shifted his own attack and missed!

Situ Yu didn’t know what was going on. The crowd was confused too. They didn’t know why Situ Yu had suddenly changed the trajectory of his attack and spared Long Chen.

The Demon clan, especially the eight Sect Elders, were confused.

“Situ Yao, what’s going on with your grandson. He could’ve killed Long Chen. Why did he redirect his attack?” Several elders were glaring at Situ Yao with anger. They thought that this was Situ Yao’s idea.

“I have no idea either...” Situ Yao was clueless too. They had almost succeeded, and he was overjoyed right up until Situ Yu wasted that single chance. Why?

Situ Yao couldn’t figure it out either until he saw the small, black cat on Long Chen’s chest. The cat suddenly disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes, but Situ Yao remembered what it looked like. He had to recall his knowledge on demonic beasts before he recognized what the black cat was.

“It’s a Dream Demon! It can generate illusions to fool its attackers. Little Yu must’ve been caught in the illusion. Thankfully, the Dream Demon is still young, so it probably exhausted its energy with just that single illusion. I suppose Little Yu can kill Long Chen now!” Situ Yao exclaimed boldly.

Hearing that it was the work of a Dream Demon, the other elders nodded in understanding. That was why Situ Yu had missed just now.

But then something even more shocking started unfolding.

“Long Chen... He just advanced into the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage!”

“His essence is growing!”

Everyone shouted in shock because no one had expected Long Chen to advance in the middle of the duel!

Only Bai Lan was laughing. Bai Lan knew Long Chen’s only weakness was in his essence, but by advancing into the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage, Long Chen would have as much essence as someone at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage. He even had a lot of Emperor-tier Martial Techniques. There was no way Situ Yu could defeat him now.

A huge amount of spiritual energy surged into Long Chen’s body and transformed into Dragon Soul Essence. His Martial Soul became stronger. In the short amount of time that Situ Yu had missed his attack, Long Chen had advanced into the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage.

“Shit! This is too tiring. I never thought that brat’s Martial Soul would be so strong that I had to spend all of my energy just for that measly illusion. Brat, I leave the rest to you.”

Little Cat complained from inside the Primordial Realm.

“Of course...”

Long Chen smiled.

The essence of an Eighth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator appeared in his body. With this much essence, Long Chen could finally activate the power of the Seven Star Body.

An explosive power burst forth from his fist.

Long Chen had never thought he would become this strong one day.

Crackle.

The essence surged throughout his body.

Situ Yu turned around and saw the bright light shining from Long Chen’s eyes. There was a dazzling, bloody light coming off of him as well as the purple celestial Qi!

“He advanced?!” Situ Yu was shocked.

But he was not afraid.

“You are only at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage. You are still too weak to beat me! What can you do?” Situ Yu chuckled and used the Heavenly Demon Dance to lunge towards Long Chen from different directions.

“Heavenly Demon Transformation Fist, Tribulations of Three Lifetimes!”

Three fist seals formed and surged towards Long Chen. The demonic illusions howled with a billion voices that interrupted Long Chen’s focus.

The Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal appeared in Long Chen’s right palm.

With the Golden Crow Flames’ amplifying the power, along with Long Chen’s Seven Star Body, the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal burst forth with monstrous power. Even though his essence was still a stage lower than Situ Yu’s, there was barely any difference in strength!

The Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal twisted and crashed into Situ Yu’s attack. This time, with Long Chen’s Seven Star Body, it completely overpowered Situ Yu’s Tribulations of Three Lifetimes! The burning fire roared towards Situ Yu without stopping!

“How could it be this strong?” Situ Yu realized too late that Long Chen’s attack had suppressed him. He rotated his body wildly to form a large black tornado that repelled the fire, but the impact of the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal still blew him backwards, causing him to roll on the ground and scorching parts of his clothes black.

“How could this be?”

Everyone was shocked by Long Chen’s newfound strength. The Demon Clan was the one who was surprised the most. Except for Bai Lan, almost everyone else had been supporting Situ Yu. Long Chen was an outsider to them and they would rather Situ Yu take both the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance and Su Xue.

Situ Yu had been suppressing Long Chen, but now after advancing into the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage, Long Chen was the one who’s overpowering Situ Yu.

“He’s only at the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage and could overpower Situ Yu at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage? Is the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord that powerful?”

Everyone was excited.

“Situ Yao, is your grandson losing?” The other grand elders frowned. They had planned for a very long time for the duel today. If Situ Yu lost, all of their prior investment would evaporate.

“Don’t worry. My grandson hasn't brought out the Ever Changing Spear. Long Chen can never overpower it.” Situ Yao was still confident in his grandson.

Indeed. Situ Yu had only been careless. Would Long Chen be able to defeat him if he took out the Ever Changing Spear?

The difference in Essence couldn’t be overcome easily.

Everyone was looking at their duel with anticipation as Situ Yu slowly stood back up. He glared at Long Chen before he smiled.

“Not bad. You are indeed my greatest foe. You did not disappoint me.” Situ Yu chuckled without a hint of worrying that he would lose.

“Take out your Ever Changing Spear. I know you have it.” Bai Lan already explained to Long Chen about the Ever Changing Spear. It was the treasure of the Situ family so he was certain that Situ Yu had it now.

“You know that I had the Ever Changing Spear?” Situ Yu frowned and brandished his jet black spear. Illusions of demons wrapped around the spear and traveled up his arms.
