Dragon War God-Chapter 370 - Frost Soul Essence

“Frost Soul Essence?” This piqued Long Chen’s interest.

If the three Demon Elders had kept this a secret from Zhao Qingyun and instructed each of their top disciples to search for this thing, it was certain to be an extraordinary treasure.

“The Frost Soul Essence can be found in lava, and it’s the product of an extreme counter-effect. The extreme heat of the lava ends up producing an extremely cold essence, just like Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. Due to the extreme heat, it feels extremely cold,” Ling Xi explained.

“What are the uses of the Frost Soul Essence?” Long Chen asked excitedly.

“The Frost Soul Essence is a spiritual treasure formed due to the extreme condensation of Yin cold earthly Qi. It has pure, extreme cold energy. As for how useful it’ll be, it depends on its size. Usually, it slowly grows from accumulation over time. Usually, after more than a millennium, it’s only the size of a thumb. If you cultivate a thumb-sized Frost Soul Essence, you will go from the Sixth right up to the peak of the Seventh River Stage, almost breaking through to the Eighth,” Ling Xi explained meticulously.

“And if it is cultivated by a person at the Eighth River Stage? What will happen?” Long Chen’s brows were furrowed. He had a feeling that the three Demon Elders had been planning this particular Pyro Passageways training exercise for a long time. It looked like the most important thing to them was not the Fire Essence, but the Frost Soul Essence.

“If they’re lucky, they should be able to reach the Ninth River Stage, so they would be on par with Lin Zichen,” Ling Xi answered.

Long Chen had guessed correctly. The three Demon Elders had probably long known that there was a Frost Soul Essence down here. It was probably too small before, but the opportunity had finally ripened. That was why they had sent their disciples to collect it. Of course, this was all being done behind Zhao Qingyun’s back.

The higher one ascended in cultivation, the more difficult the journey would be. Breaking through from the Eighth River Stage to the Ninth was especially challenging. If Long Chen wanted to take that leap with Blood Transmutation, he would have to consume a Heaven-tier demonic beast. This was the most efficient method to level up, and it was beyond difficult. But everyone else had it worse.

The Frost Soul Essence was equivalent to a Heaven-tier beast’s carcass to Long Chen.

This was something the three Demon Elders had kept secret for a long time, and indeed, it was a very tempting treasure. Long Chen couldn’t resist. The Frost Soul Essence was not the same as Blood Transmutation, which was a type of robbery, a bloody and unreasonable technique. In contrast, the Frost Soul Essence was a product of nature. Refining it would still be adhering to the laws of the heavens and earth. It was also considered leveling up in a stable manner.

Xiaolang had already attained the Category Eight Earth-tier, and Long Chen could not fall behind.

Dear three Demon Elders, the items you prepared for your disciples will end up in my hands. I really want to see the looks on your faces when that happens. Frost Soul Essence. What a nice name. Long Chen smirked.

“Brother Chen, what are you going to do?” asked Ling Xi.

“Snatch the map, of course!” Long Chen did not hesitate. After he spoke, he dashed at an extremely high speed, then appeared in front of Yang Jun and the rest with an amused look on his face.

His appearance startled everyone.

“Who is that?!”

Yang Jun hurriedly tried to put the map in his hand away, then he looked at Long Chen with some panic. When he got a good look at Long Chen’s face, he calmed down, as did everyone else.

“Long Chen? You didn’t have to do it, but you delivered yourself to our doorstep!” Yang Jun gestured to his brothers, and a total of eight people instantly surrounded Long Chen. Yang Jun took the lead, gazing arrogantly at him. “You brat, you came here to give us something, right? Let’s do it this way. Give us all the Fire Essences you’ve collected, and I will show you mercy. What do you think?”

“Dream on! You’ve lost to me already, so you have no right to speak in front of me. Aren’t you afraid I’m going to spank your bottom again?” Long Chen said with a grin.

“Shut your mouth!” That was the most humiliating event of Yang Jun’s life, and the fact that Long Chen brought it up again made his cheeks burn. Long Chen’s look of contempt made him increasingly furious. As the number one disciples of the Third Demon Elder, no one had ever dared insult him like that.

“Everyone! Beat Long Chen up! You’re merely at the Sixth River Stage; you only defeated me because you were lucky! How dare you showboat yourself in front of your seniors! My brothers, attack!” cried Yang Jun, sounding a little desperate.

Everyone knew that Long Chen had mastered the Heaven-tier Traceless Demon Shadow, meaning he would be difficult to beat despite being one level lower than them.

“Attack!” All eight disciples charged. Before Long Chen arrived, these people were ranked third to tenth in the Heavenly Demon Palace. They were the best of the disciples. Qi exploded from them as they charged at Long Chen. They were almost the same as eight Yang Juns, so Long Chen could feel an unquestionable pressure.

“Well, I’ll just give you all a taste of my newly acquired skill.”

Clang! Long Chen took out the Star Sword. It radiated faint starlight and was extremely sharp, enough to startle the onlooker. It was clearly a good weapon!

The Palace Lord is clearly being unfair. This brat has only just entered the Heavenly Demon Palace, yet the Palace Lord has already given him such a good sword! Everyone felt uncomfortable by this. All of them had once eyed Traceless Demon Shadow, yet this newcomer who had come out of nowhere had robbed them of it. Everyone was furious.

“Take this! Seventy-Two Path True Fists!”

“Divine Wind Kick!”

Wave after wave of attacks came after Long Chen, including many advanced Earth-tier techniques. Since they were all at the Seventh River Stage, cultivating advanced Earth-tier combat techniques was a minimum requirement for them. However, even the skills in this tier could be categorized as good or bad. The best advanced Earth-tier technique was at least ten times stronger than the worst advanced Earth-tier technique. After Ling Xi’s modifications of Long Chen’s Shadow Sword Technique, it was undeniably one of the best of its tier!

“Shadow Sword Technique!”

Blurry shadows suddenly shot through the crowd, traveling so fast they were almost invisible.

Long Chen’s shadows appeared next to everyone, and they attacked the shadows fervently. However, they realized that they were not fast enough to catch up to Long Chen’s body combat technique. Every shadow was Long Chen, but also not Long Chen!

How can Traceless Demon Shadow be this insane?! Fear rose in their hearts. That was when one of them let out a cry of pain. They all looked over and saw a sword pierced through his thigh. Long Chen was standing behind this disciple, and before anyone could react, he and his sword disappeared again, leaving the stabbed disciple crying!

“Everyone, be careful!” Everyone’s smugness turned into panic and terror when they witnessed this. They never imagined that Long Chen would be this powerful. He had already mastered Traceless Demon Shadow to its late stage, so despite being only at the Sixth River Stage, even Yang Jun could not track his movements, let alone the others.

Long Chen was an invisible killer to them. They were sitting ducks with no power to fight back at all!

“Ahh!” Another disciple screamed. Everyone turned in terror and found that his thigh had been punctured too! Blood flowed into the lava. It looked like his artery had been stabbed, and the disciple was trying to stop the blood in a panic. However, the wound left him incapacitated.

Everyone lost their minds in panic.

“Long Chen, if you are a man, don’t use Traceless Demon Shadow! Fight me directly, you coward!” Yang Jun roared as he grimaced furiously. He was secretly also feeling terrified when he watched his men get knocked down one by one.

“Do you take me for an idiot?” Long Chen’s laughter rang across every person’s minds.

“Ah!” Another disciple’s thigh was stabbed!

This was the trigger to the bomb. Everyone was terrified and knew that if they stayed, they would only be stabbed by Long Chen. When one person fled, the rest started to flee too.

Even the injured ones tried to run. Long Chen had merely stabbed their thighs,but who knew if he would stab their hearts next?

“Where are you all going? Get back here!” Yang Jun barked in terror. Unfortunately, his yelling was useless. Long Chen’s violent actions had shaken them to the core.

When everyone left, Yang Jun was finally afraid. He quickly turned and also fled. However, what made him lose his composure was that Long Chen gave chase!

“Long Chen, I’m begging you! Let me go! I’m not going to fight you anymore! I’m giving you all my Fire Essences! Let me go!” he begged bitterly as he fled. If a two-meter tall man could beg like this, it was clear how terrifying Long Chen was.

An invisible attack was the most terrifying one. No one wanted to be in a situation where they could not even fight back, where they could die at any time.

“Since you’re the one who’s offering, will you agree to whatever terms I demand?” Long Chen’s voice rang creepily next to his ear.

Yang Jun gritted his teeth and said, “As long as it does not cross my limits, anything will do! As long as you let me go!”
