Chapter 6337 Blessing Shield
Chapter 6337 Blessing Shield
“Isn’t that Long Wu’s...” Di Mengyao muttered, unable to believe her eyes.
“Why do you think Long Wu was chasing me down like a rabid dog?”
Long Chen shook his head lightly.
Thinking back to how flustered Long Wu had looked just now, they laughed.
Long Chen said, “I have used my dragon blood to awaken its item-spirit. That allowed it to temporarily suppress the seal and escape Long Wu’s control. However, the item-spirit has been sealed for far too long. It’s weak and will need even more dragon blood to remove the seal completely.”
“Lord Long Chen, you must keep it. You were the one who reclaimed it,” Di Mengyao urged without hesitation.
This shield was a priceless treasure, on par with the Heavenly Dragon Battle Halberd. With it, Long Chen’s power would only soar higher.
“That’s right, boss. With this in your hands, you’ll be invincible in both attack and defense,” Xue Tu added eagerly.
However, Long Chen shook his head.
He explained, “I only attack, not defend. If someone can force me into a defensive state, then even with this shield, the outcome won’t change. More importantly, this shield requires your combined power to awaken. After my brief communication with its spirit, I discovered it’s not just a defensive divine weapon—it’s also a weapon of fortune. The runes carved on it are sacred blessing runes of the dragon race. Once activated, they’ll amplify your dragon blood and Sovereign flames to an astonishing degree.”
“A blessing power?”
Everyone was shaken. In their battle against the vile dragon race, they had relied on their ancestors’ blessing to rapidly condense new Sovereign flames. Without it, they would never have matched the vile dragons.
Now this golden shield possessed a similar blessing power? It was truly a supreme treasure.
“The Heavenly Dragon Battle Halberd also had sacred blessing runes. But with your current power, you can’t activate them,” added Long Chen.
Di Mengyao nodded with a touch of shame. Activating those runes required an enormous amount of energy. She couldn’t do it. At best, she could only draw out a trace of the blessing into her domain to empower others.
Long Chen continued, “The Heavenly Dragon Battle Halberd’s blessing is the power of slaughter, which unleashes your full killing potential. The shield’s blessing, however, stimulates your core, boosts your Sovereign flames, and forms a divine protective light.
“Long Wu used it to overwhelm countless experts. That’s why he was willing to pay any price to take it back, even summoning that wild devil to reclaim it. Hehe, from now on, you will have the golden shield in your left hand and the Heavenly Dragon Battle Halberd in your right hand. With the ability to attack and defend, you will be unstoppable.”
Long Chen smiled and sent the golden shield floating toward Di Mengyao. Her hands trembled as she received it.
The instant she touched it, her Sovereign flames were sucked dry. The intense suction almost emptied her in a single breath.
She jumped, but Long Chen waved for her not to panic. Then, he instructed Xue tu, Hai Mingkong, Qing Yi, and the other dragon experts to release their Sovereign flames for the golden shield to absorb.
Right now, it urgently needed power to undo its seal. If too much time passed, it would fall back into suppression, and Long Chen would be forced to awaken it again with his blood.
Fortunately, there were many dragon experts here, so they had enough Sovereign flame energy.
Half an incense stick later, black flames erupted from the golden shield.
The golden shield’s aura was now sacred and holy, like it had been reborn. When its golden light enveloped everyone, they looked like golden divine statues. The air itself grew holy.
Their Sovereign flames buzzed, and new ones started condensing.
“This is... the golden shield is absorbing the blessing energy of the battlefield to help us condense Sovereign flames!” exclaimed Hai Mingkong as he gained a new Sovereign flame.
Long Chen explained, “The corpses of the vile dragon ancestors lie beneath this battlefield, and my fight with Long Wu shattered them. The karmic luck they stole from our dragon race has now been released. It would disperse, but with the shield’s blessing, you can condense it into Sovereign flames. Don’t waste this chance.”
Hearing that, everyone hastily used this blessing to condense Sovereign flames.
However, Di Mengyao and the other top experts didn’t immediately enter cultivation state. They had just exhausted themselves, so they needed a brief rest first.
“Good. We didn’t lose a single warrior. In the future, you’ll be the pillars of the dragon race,” Long Chen said.
As he counted their numbers, he was gratified to see not a single casualty. This chance was far too rare. To reclaim the karmic luck stolen by the vile dragon race and return it to the true dragon race—how strong would they become?
“It’s thanks to Mengyao. Without her domain, even we wouldn’t have survived,” sighed Hai Mingkong.
“And it’s also thanks to Xue Tu. In the past, he had always lost control in battle, but this time he restrained himself. It was probably his hardest task ever,” Di Mengyao added.
In truth, the one Di Mengyao had been most worried about was Xue Tu. When he went berserk, he couldn’t distinguish friend from foe. Once his eyes turned red, none of them dared to relax.
A crazed Xue Tu could overpower an enemy with 997 Sovereign flames, but if he failed to kill them outright, he’d quickly weaken and be slain.
Di Mengyao’s rare praise embarrassed Xue Tu. Shaking his head, he said, “It’s thanks to Boss. If Boss couldn’t block that monster Long Wu, we would have all died.”
“Alright, alright. There’s no need to flatter ourselves. It’s embarrassing. After resting, you should quickly seize this chance to get stronger. Although your ancestors’ blessing and the golden shield’s blessing are still present, the karmic luck on this battlefield will dissipate eventually. But what you condense inside will belong to you forever,” Long Chen reminded.
“Boss, what about these two?” Xue Tu asked as he tossed out the two unconscious vile dragon experts.
“Hmm, leave them for now. I’ll deal with them after coming out of seclusion,” Long Chen replied after a moment’s thought.
He had absorbed an enormous amount of Sovereign flame energy and had yet to refine it. IKilling those two now might waste their power. Besides, he wanted answers from them later.
With that, Long Chen and the others went into seclusion. What they didn’t know was that Long Chen was not absorbing this karmic luck energy in the air.
When he killed the vile dragons, he would absorb the Sovereign flames and core energy within them. But the karmic luck they stole floated freely.
“Let me see how many Sovereign flames I’ll get after refining all this energy!”
Long Chen was filled with anticipation as he went into seclusion.
