Chapter 1534 Chapter 1534: My Goal

Long Chen finished absorbing the core while the weather outside kept getting worse and worse. However, as they were underground, the tribulation couldn’t get to him.

The longer that Tribulation couldn’t reach him, the worse it became. It was also intentional from the Demon King’s part. If he wanted, he could’ve gone outside and faced the Tribulation, but he didn’t. It was as if he wanted to have it be stronger, so he could experience the peak Tribulation.

For a human, the Tribulation wasn’t just a challenge that tested if they were worthy to pass through a layer. It was also something that made them stronger. The stronger that tribulation was, the stronger they were going to be when they came through the Tribulation without being hurt.

Long Chen glanced at the dead body of the White Tiger King. For some reason, he felt like leaving the body here like that was a waste.

He kept the body back in the Ancient Ring before finally looking at Long Tian.

“You have something to say?”

“Yes. You’ve taken over the body that belonged to a friend. I do trust you that you won’t harm his soul since you have no reason to lie to me, but I want to ask when you’ll free him. What’s your goal, and when will he get his body back?” Long Tian asked.

As long as Long Chen’s soul wasn’t hurt, he believed it was a blessing in disguise. The Demon King was making Long Chen stronger, and the moment he was going to leave, the strength was gone to belong to Long Chen, along with all the knowledge of the Demon King. It wasn’t all that bad.

There was still one really bad thing about it. He knew that the Demon King had an enmity with the Ancestral God who trapped him in the Statue for a lifetime. And the last shred of that Ancestral God was reading in the Martial Soul of Long Chen.

If the Demon King wanted to destroy the Ancestral God, it was no less than destroying Long Chen’s martial soul, which could cripple his cultivation. So the Demon King was like a double-edged sword that could either make Long Chen or break him.

“My goals?” Long Chen smiled. “Didn’t I tell you already? It’s to finish my unfinished business! My goal is to destroy the Heavenly Warriors, who are the reason for all my suffering! Now that I’m back, it’s time they know their place!”

Long Tian didn’t worry about Heavenly Warriors being destroyed. Even though it wasn’t good for the world, he cared more about Long Chen and his Martial Soul. If the extent of the Demon King’s revenge was just destroying the Heavenly Realm, then it wasn’t a hard task.

In fact, since the Demon King was able to kill the White Tiger King so easily, killing the Heavenly Warriors was much easier. Throughout the years, the Heavenly Warriors and the Demons had gotten weaker compared to their counterparts.

It would’ve been a different matter if the Heavenly King who was sealed in the statue was also freed, but as that wasn’t the case, there was no significant obstruction in the Demon King’s path.

“What about the Ancestral God who sealed you? I’m sure you already know where he is… Do you plan to destroy him?”

“Destroy him?” Long Chen smiled. “He sealed me for millions of years… I could do nothing but watch myself suffer. You think I would free him of his suffering so fast?”

“I’ll make it so that he suffers a fate worse than death! I trusted him like a friend, and he betrayed me! That’s the least I can do for him!”

“Moreover, he has already made things quite easier for me. Only a small shred of him is left behind. I don’t know what happened to him for him to fall into this state, but I’ll make it even worse for him! He wanted to seal us. I’ll show him what sealing actually means! But first, he needs to recover! I want to talk to him before I do anything!”

“Also, I seem to understand your concern, kid. Don’t worry. I have no enmity with the humans, especially the one who freed me! I won’t leave his Cultivation crippled!”

“That’s a relief. That means, after a few weeks, Long Chen should be back…”

“Should be back? He is already back. It seems his soul is up… He can see everything. He can hear everything. He can even talk to me. When I leave, he should be able to control his body as well…”

“Now, before I go to have fun with my Tribulation, is there anything else you want to ask me?” The man inquired.

For some reason, he was in a really pleased mood today! He had finally been freed after all.

“Before you leave, can you do one last thing for us? It would help your savior Long Chen a lot. And it’ll only take a few minutes at best.”

“What help?”

Long Tian pointed toward the cave ahead. “We believe that one of our enemies is sleeping in this place. We came here looking for him. He wants to kill Long Chen and steal his Bloodline. And he is also very strong… He already has something akin to the Godly Bloodline. If you can kill him here, that should remove our biggest obstruction…”

“Steal the Bloodline of the person under my protection? Heh, a fool, it seems. I will take care of him!”

Long Chen flew inside the cave. Long Tian also flew inside the cave, closely following behind Long Chen. Even Xun didn’t stay behind. But before following them, she gazed at Ling, who was sitting on her knees, looking defeated.

She couldn’t believe that her father was killed right before her eyes, and she couldn’t do anything about it other than watch. In fact, she even blamed herself for what happened.

If she hadn’t met Long Chen… If she hadn’t asked him to accompany them… If she hadn’t been in his path, making him fall on top of her… If she had managed to stop her father from attacking Long Chen… There were so many ifs. If she had done any of those things, her father would’ve been alive, and the Spirit wouldn’t have been freed.

After glancing at Ling once, Xun flew inside, leaving her behind.

Ling kept sitting in silence as tears kept spilling out of her eyes. She didn’t know what to do anymore… She had lost everything she held dear, and it was too late now!
