Chapter 1799: Obtaining the Paragon Ar

Accompanied by the nine drakes, Long Chen slowly approached the core of the hourglass . It was where the hourglass was at its thinnest, its center .

Through Dragon Ones introduction, Long Chen learned that this Morning Dao Lightning Field was its own minor world .

It was the result of a supreme expert separating part of a major world, leaving only the purest thunderforce inside .

However, no energy could exist on its own, including thunderforce .

Thunderforce itself was also split into different kinds . The greatest attribute that differentiated them was actually Yin and Yang . This was something that Long Chen had never encountered before .

He had always thought that lightning was the most supreme Yang existence in the world . He had never heard of lightning also being Yin .

Amongst the Yin and Yang lightnings, there were over ten thousand different kinds of thunderforce, each one with its own specialties .

The lightning sources of the hourglass were one Yin and one Yang . The two energies were constantly mixing . This place was the root of this minor world .

Long Chen couldnt help being shocked . Just what kind of existence had been capable of creating such a world?

From Dragon One, he learned that they had been living for hundreds of thousands of years . They had had eight masters before, and after the last master died, they gained their full freedom . No one else had come to the Morning Dao Lightning Field .

They had been peacefully living here, but unfortunately, their cultivation bases had already reached their limits . They couldnt grow any stronger . It seemed that this worlds laws were restricting them .

When Long Chen asked who the master of this world had been, they shook their heads . The master of this world was the master of the paragon art, but this world had no master now . They had a contractual rune in their heads that connected them to the paragon art rune . Even the silver lightning drake had that contractual rune and was under its effects .

After the contract had been dispelled, the effect of those contractual runes had faded, allowing them to grow stronger beyond the contract .

Hearing all this, Long Chen cursed inside . How unlucky had he been? It was only in his generation that these lightning drakes had become so wild .

Originally, the reason why he had dared to challenge the lightning paragon art was because he had some confidence in Lei Long . Compared to other experts on the same level as him, he would definitely have an advantage .

However, when he got here, he found that these drakes were no longer restricted by the contractual runes and had grown far stronger than they had been meant to be . The difficulty had multiplied by many times from when the last people had attempted to inherit this paragon art .

That silver drake in particular was something that Long Chen estimated not even Netherpassage experts would necessarily be a match for . How was he, a Soul Transformation expert, supposed to subdue it?

Brother Long, there are three parts to this paragon art rune . The gate part refers to the gate of the Morning Dao Lightning Field . As long as you place your spiritual seal on it, you can control it . When you return to your world, you can open the channel to the Morning Dao Lightning Field, said Dragon One .

So this was the essence of a paragon art . Long Chen thought of how Xiang Yunfei had also connected himself to another world with his paragon art .

This is the Sundering Lightning Heavenly Wings and the Wild Lightning Soul Battle Spear . Both of them are for use in combat and extremely powerful . However, controlling them is very difficult, said Dragon One .

Many thanks . Ill try it .

Long Chen reached out and pressed his palm against the paragon art rune . The thunderforce inside his body circulated .

Rumbling rang out, and the entire Morning Dao Lightning Field shook . The gate image lit up .

Long Chens Yuan Spirit suddenly came out of his head . It was forming hand seals . That wasnt something that he was controlling . It was the paragon art rune that was transmitting information to him, and he was simply following it .

As he formed hand seals, a giant gate appeared behind him . The gate grew larger and larger, and lightning runes flowed around it . It was both sacred and wild .

How is the gate so big?! This is just your first time! exclaimed Dragon One .

According to reason, the first time someone opened this spatial gate, it would be very small and unstable . It would be unusable . But Long Chen had summoned such a giant gate on his first try .

What the drakes didnt know was that this spatial gates scale was based on the strength of the users Yuan Spirit .

When Xiang Yunfei had used his paragon art, it had taken him a long time to activate it . However, as Long Chens Yuan Spirit was far stronger, his activation time was much shorter .

Opening this gate wasnt very difficult . As long as his Yuan Spirit still had energy, it would be easy .

The void cracked . The huge gate began to slowly open .

Brother Long! You cant open the gate here! shouted the drakes .

Why not?

This gate connects to the Morning Dao Lightning Field . Were already here . Opening this gate will break the laws here . You can only open this gate in your world, explained Dragon One .

These hand seals are what connects you to the Morning Dao Lightning Field . Try reversing the hand seals, and youll find that your gate will allow us to come out to your world, explained another drake .

Long Chen nodded . This paragon art was really interesting, but it wasnt too difficult . It was easy to control .

Dragon One seemed to see what he was thinking and said, Opening the gate isnt difficult . The difficult part is the speed at which you can open it and the scale . My guess is the reason you can activate it so quickly is due to the divine lightning and your Yuan Spirit . The previous humans found it much harder to open this gate . Another reason it was more difficult was because at that time, the gate was connected to our contractual runes, and we would naturally resist as we wouldnt want a weak master . Many humans died like that because their Yuan Spirits were unable to suppress us . But now our contractual runes have faded, so its naturally easier to just open the gate . You should try the Sundering Lightning Heavenly Wings and the Wild Lightning Soul Battle Spear . Those are the true attacking paragon arts . Cultivating them is very difficult .

Then what do I do? asked Long Chen .

Merge your Yuan Spirit with the paragon art rune . Your Yuan Spirit should enter a special space where you can comprehend how to use the paragon arts . It will take you time to fully understand their profundities, said Dragon One .

How much time does it take?

Quite a bit . If youre fast, two to three years . If youre slow, five or six years . That bit of time is nothing to us, but we know its longer to humans, said Dragon One .

These nine drakes were all very intelligent . They had followed multiple generations of human masters along with their silver drake king . They had some understanding of humans .

Thats too long . I cant wait that long . Long Chen shook his head . No matter how strong the paragon art was, he couldnt use two years on it . I have another method .

Long Chen pressed his hand against the paragon art rune, and the lightning dragon mark on his arm lit up . Lei Long flowed down his arm and into the rune .

Hahaha, I really am a genius! laughed Long Chen, extremely pleased with himself .

You youre having your lightning beast learn the paragon art? The drakes were stunned .

Yup . Its an innate lightning spirit, so cultivating lightning arts is easy for it . For it to learn it is the same as me learning it, so wont that be much simpler? Long Chen smiled brightly .

Are you not afraid of it one day growing stronger than you and betraying you? It might even kill you, said Dragon One .

Betray me? No, thats absolutely impossible . There will be no betrayal between us . It wont betray me, and I wont betray it . When your king wanted to devour it, to tell the truth, I wouldnt allow it even if I died here . Lei Long can die for me, and I can die for it . Its not a lightning beast, and its not a tool . Its a comrade I can trust with my life, said Long Chen .

The nine drakes didnt say anything, but there were large waves in their hearts . They were tools created by experts, and they were born to be used . In fact, this entire Morning Dao Lightning Field existed to be used .

The successive generations of masters they had had also only viewed them as tools, so they naturally disliked the human race . However, they couldnt help feeling that Long Chen was different .

Suddenly, space trembled, and light came from the paragon art rune . Long Chens expression changed as he received a message from Lei Long .

Within the rune was a terrifying divine pressure that Lei Long couldnt resist . Long Chen hastily pressed his hands against the rune, and his Yuan Spirit charged into it .

Within the lightning sea, the silver drake slowly opened its eyes and watched as Long Chens Yuan Spirit left his body, leaving behind an empty body . It muttered to himself .

Either hes a genius, or hes a remarkably alike idiot .

With his Yuan Spirit gone, any of those lightning drakes could kill his physical body without the slightest effort . Then they could kill his Yuan Spirit as well .

What they didnt know was that Long Chen had the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art and its sharp senses toward malice . He had the confidence to do something like this . Moreover, these drakes had no reason to kill him .

He also did this on purpose to show the drakes that he trusted them . Would they still not help him upon seeing this trust?

Three days later, the paragon art rune suddenly dimmed . Long Chens eyes opened, and there was lightning in his eyes .

Hahahaha, the paragon art is mine! laughed Long Chen .
