Chapter 252 Breaking through to the fourth stage

n

n

nAs he stared at the 10.000 warriors who were kneeling on one knee, a single name had suddenly appeared in Shun Long's mind

n'Heaven Trampling legion!'

nHowever, this scene in front of him only lasted for a single moment, before Shun Long felt a sharp pain piercing his mind.

nThe golden-armored warriors, Shun Long's black spear, and the hundred meters tall Little Black all shattered in front of his eyes, as they disappeared in an instant.

nShun Long could feel his vision turning dark, before he found himself back inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time'.

nHowever, Shun Long didn't have any time to ponder over the scene he had just witnessed, as he suddenly felt his mind entering a special state.

nUnder Little Black's shocked eyes, Shun Long's body that had turned into a pool of blood, and hadn't healed once in the last 7 days, was now being reformed at an incredible speed.

nShun Long's blood, his meridians, his internal organs, his bones, and finally, his skin were once again recreated, but this time, something was different.

nLittle Black could clearly feel, that Shun Long's blood was much more powerful than before, his meridians were thicker than the last time, while his bones were now emitting a bright light.

nIt took less than 10 breaths of time, for Shun Long's body to be completely reformed.

n

nAlthough Shun Long's appearance was the same as before, Little Black could feel that something had changed.

nAfter closing his eyes, the black dragon finally understood what it was.

nIt was a form of natural aura that was coming from Shun Long's body.

nAlthough it was somewhat faint, after being with Shun Long for so long, Little Black could instantly sense the difference in his aura.

nAt the same time, as his body was reformed, Shun Long closed his eyes before he sat cross-legged on the ground.

nHe could feel that the space around him was different this time.

nIt felt as if an invisible fabric was hugging his body, and that if he stretched his hand outwards, he would be able to touch it.

nShun Long had unknowingly entered a state of enlightenment, and he could sense the Dao of Space around him, even more clearly than before.

nAlthough his body had already been reformed with the 'internal reconstruction pill', without comprehending the Dao of Space even further, it was impossible to enter the fourth stage of the 'Monarch's Eternal body'.

n

nWith his eyes closed, Shun Long raised his right hand in front of him as he mumbled to himself

n''Space... isn't something truly ethereal. If I close my eyes, I can feel it around me.

nIf I stretch my hand, I can even touch it.

n....If I slash at it, I can tear it apart!''

nLittle Black's eyes widened when he sensed the violent space ripples around Shun Long's body.

nMultiple space tears had appeared around Shun Long, as they constantly distorted the space around him.

nAnd yet, Shun Long simply sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

nWith every passing moment, Shun Long's comprehension of the Dao of Space deepened even further.

nMore than a month passed like this, before the space tears around Shun Long finally started to disappear one by one.

n

nAnd yet, the energy inside his body was now rising without showing any signs of stopping.

nShun Long could feel that the 'Monarch's Eternal body' was circulating inside him, as it absorbed the potent energy from the top-grade rank 4 'internal reconstruction pill', pushing the energy of his body to the limits.

nA few moments later, Shun Long had reached the absolute peak of the third stage in body refinement, when his body suddenly exploded with a powerful burst of energy.

n''Fourth stage of body refinement!''

nShun Long knew that he had finally entered the fourth stage of the 'Monarch's Eternal body'.

nAnd yet, the energy inside his body didn't seem to diminish in the slightest.

nInstead, Shun Long could feel a burning pain in his internal organs, as the 'Monarch's Eternal body' continued to absorb the almost endless energy from the 'internal reconstruction pill'.

n2 months had passed for Shun Long inside the 'Stone of Time', but barely a week had gone by in the Heaven's Dome city.

nDuring this time, Duan Zhu's recruitment had shaken the entire Heaven's Dome city.

n

nMore than 2000 late-stage Spirit realm cultivators had already gone to the east of the city, to the dark elf race's palace, in order to register themselves to become disciples of the Demon Emperor palace.

nThe name of the Demon Emperor palace had now spread throughout the Night star continent like wildfire, and even more people were now heading towards the Heaven's Dome city from all over the continent.

nInside the majestic palace of the Shentian dynasty at the northern part of the city, aside from the 2 stunning dark elf women, Yi Huian and Yi Xiaosi, 2 representatives from every other peak power of the city, were now sitting inside a secret room, in front of a large table.

nEven Zhao Lan and the other rank 3 gold grade alchemist from the 'Alchemists' Guild' were present, but they stayed completely silent, not even daring to raise their heads.

nSitting at the head of the table, Sheng Jun opened his eyes, and looking at the people around him, he said, in his sonorous, old voice

n''You all know why we have gathered here today so let's not waste any time. There is also no reason to blame Zhao Lan and Kang Daiyu either.

nSince they were groomed by the Feng family, it was within expectations that they wouldn't dare to fight against the Demon Emperor palace.

nWhat we need to do right now, is to find a way to stop the Demon Emperor palace's recruitment.

nMore than 2000 late-stage Spirit realm cultivators from our Night star continent, have already gathered in the dark elf race's palace during the past week in order to enter the Demon Emperor palace.''

n

nSurprisingly, the first person to speak was the middle-aged man from the 'Mercenaries' Association.

nHis eyes had been focused on the 2 alchemists of the 'Alchemists' Guild', before he turned his attention to Sheng Jun.

nThen, with a serious look on his face, he said

n''Old man Sheng, I heard that Duan Zhu left the dark elf palace yesterday, and headed towards the 'Dragon Lord's villa' by himself! Now that he has left the Heaven's Dome city, who can stop us from destroying the dark elf race?''
