Chapter 5056 Stay Alive and Watch the Chaos
The white dragon race flew at their usual pace, not rushing at all. Long Chen could see that Bai Yingxuan wasn’t afraid of trouble; she intentionally went slow as a test.1
She was testing the will of the heavens and the white dragon race’s karmic luck. If the white dragon race was unlucky, they would run into the reinforcements of the Netherdragon race. But that could also mean that the Netherdragon race’s karmic luck was bad. Until they clashed, no one knew whose karmic luck would run out.0
After the previous battle, the white dragon race’s gazes toward Long Chen became different, filled with reverence and worship.0
Experts were always welcomed and revered wherever they went, and for the white dragon race, which had been suffering for years, Long Chen’s wanton slaughter was particularly satisfying. Although the white dragon race didn’t like war, after being continuously suppressed, let alone them, even a rabbit would bite back.0
As the vanguard for the Brahma Pill Valley, the Netherdragon race had clashed with the white dragon race quite often. Casualties were unavoidable in those clashes, leading to pain and grief.0
Thus, the white dragon race hated the Netherdragon race to the core, and Long Chen’s slaughter caused them to view him as a hero.0
After the battle, Bai Yingxuan said some encouraging words to her kin. Although they hadn’t actually fought, their formation had been flawless, with almost no flaws to pick at.0
However, their movements could have been slightly faster. But that was also understandable. For there to be some confusion with so many people cooperating was normal. Although they had drilled this many times, there was naturally a difference between drills and actual combat. The psychological pressure was entirely different. 0
After encouraging them, Bai Yingxuan retreated back to the immortal cave with Long Chen and Bai Yingxue. The three of them sat down, but Bai Yingxue’s shocked expression when she looked at Long Chen had yet to fade.0
Just now, Long Chen had charged into an enormous army all on his own, and he had been unstoppable. He slaughtered two-vein Heaven Saints and Heavenly Chosens with ease. Every time she thought back to it, she couldn’t believe it.0
“Was that Sovereign qi?” asked Bai Yingxuan.0
Shaking his head, Long Chen replied, “I don’t know what the Sovereign qi is, but I cultivate a particular divine ability that produces miraculous changes when the Sovereign blood is merged into it.”4
The Sovereign Blood Seal was a major matter. Also, the Earth Cauldron told him that some names shouldn’t be mentioned casually, as their karma wasn’t something just anyone could endure.2
Bai Yingxuan nodded and remarked, “Your attack contained a trace of the Dragon Sovereign’s might. As the Netherdragon race is a traitor to the dragon race, they are naturally suppressed by the Sovereign’s might. But you shouldn’t get conceited. It won’t be this effective against other dragon races and may not have any effect on other races. It was my carelessness that allowed that fellow to attack you at the end. You could escape from him partially because you reacted quickly and made the smartest decision, but the other aspect was the trace of Sovereign might. Without both aspects, you would have died. Your power is unquestionable, but there is still an uncrossable gap between you and three-vein Heaven Saints. I implore you to keep this in mind.”1
Knowing that youngsters were often hot-headed and full of themselves, like newborn calves unafraid of tigers, Bai Yingxuan made sure to give him a stern warning.8
In truth, her warnings were superfluous. The Earth Cauldron had warned Long Chen more than once about three-vein Heaven Saints. However, Long Chen accepted Bai Yingxuan’s kind intentions and expressed that he understood. He promised that if he encountered a three-vein Heaven Saint, he would immediately run.11
Seeing how serious and sincere he was, Bai Yingxuan was gratified. To have such power yet not be arrogant… Throughout the entire white dragon race, there was no such talent. No wonder he could become the High Firmament Academy’s youngest dean.0
“Senior, what do you plan to do?” Long Chen asked how the white dragon race would face the Brahma Pill Valley.0
Bai Yingxuan replied, “My white dragon race had discussed this. In the end, we decided to bring out half of our forces to ring the bell for the dragon race in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain. Once we enter the Brahma Pill Valley’s territory, they will try to entice and bait us. We’ve seen through quite a few of their schemes, so we’ll lay their true face clear for everyone to see. We know the Brahma Pill Valley won’t let us off after doing that, but it’s fine. Since we’ve come, we have no intention of leaving. In the worst-case scenario, we will detonate the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and drag them down with us. If our deaths can awaken the sense of urgency in the dragon race, letting them see what kind of evil the Pill Valley is, our deaths will not be in vain.”3
Long Chen asked again, “Even if you announce the truth, how many people will believe it? If they keep collaborating with the Brahma Pill Valley, won’t your sacrifices be in vain?”0
“It won’t be in vain. At the very least, our white dragon race will have done what we should. Even if our entire race is destroyed, it’s fine. We will have lived up to the Dragon Sovereign’s will,” answered Bai Yingxuan.0
Long Chen shook his head after hearing that. He didn’t speak, but he clearly did not approve of their plan.0
Bai Yingxuan looked at Long Chen and asked, “Do you have a better way?0
“Not really, I just don’t like this plan. I also feel like there is no need to do this.”0
Bai Yingxuan couldn’t help but frown. “Why do you say that?”0
“It is precisely in times of chaos that opportunity arises. The white dragon race should focus on what it needs to do for itself, not for others. Even if you want to ring the bell, why throw your lives away? Are you worried it won’t be loud enough? You can’t wake someone pretending to be asleep, and you can’t turn fools into wise people. The white dragon race shouldn’t sacrifice itself for nothing. Countless branches of the dragon race rise and fall constantly. That’s natural. When something rises to its limit, it will eventually fall. Conversely, when something sinks to its lowest, it can only improve. The dragon race might be facing a crisis, but isn’t that also an opportunity? Heroes are born in chaos because the environment forces them to.”0
Bai Yingxuan’s expression gradually changed. When she looked at Long Chen again, there was a new light in her eyes.0
“Then you are saying…?”3
“You ring your bell, and I will stir things up. We each have our own missions. Let’s stay alive and observe the chaos.” Long Chen smiled slightly, sensing that the captain of the Dragon Guard had been moved by his words.
