<h4>Chapter 5149 Borrowing Power</h4>


    “Leave him to me!” eximed Hu Xiaoyu.


    As the expert from the devil race charged over ferociously, Hu Xiaoyu prepared to make her stand. After all, the white dragon race’s experts had to focus on maintaining the formation, while Feng You was still merging with the phoenix soul.


    <i>BOOM!</i>


    To her surprise, the devil expert was obliterated by the thirty-six lightning pirs before he could even get close.


    Lu Fan and the others were equally astonished. The thirty-six lightning pirs seemed to form an imprable barrier, firmly trapping the Earth Cauldron and preventing anyone from getting close to it. Seeing that no one could leave or enter, Lu Fan and the others panicked.


    They realized that the heavenly tribtion was intent on killing Long Chen, and it was even willing to sacrifice all of them to do so. Despite this, Long Chen was still alive. They had no idea what was happening inside the Earth Cauldron, but the advancing white dragon race experts only added to their unease.


    However, no matter how nervous they were, they couldn’t do anything. No one could get close to the thirty-six pirs, and Lu Fan didn’t dare to test it with the Brahma Divine Diagram. After all, the power of this tribtion was too terrifying. He was worried that any interference would provoke it, potentially sucking him into the Earth Cauldron as well.


    For now, Lu Fan could only focus on absorbing as much of the heavenly tribtion’s energy as possible. His goal was to condense his Eternal runes and reach the Eternal realm as quickly as he could Once he became an Eternal expert, he would be able to unleash many secret arts and divine abilities. By then, he wouldn’t be scared of Long Chen... or so he thought.


    Li Tianfan, Qin Keqing, Luo Yujiao, Huang Wudao, Netherdragon Wushang, and the others were in a simr predicament. They recognized that this heavenly tribtion was too unpredictable for them to interfere with. Their primary focus was condensing their Eternal runes as swiftly as possible toplete their advancement.


    Even the violent Yan Hong was patiently undergoing tribtion. He wasn’t interested in the other me energies, only seeking the pure Yan Xu me within the Heavenly me Sourcestone.


    Amid the chaos, half of the millions of Heavenly Chosens perished, but there was no way around it. Although strong, many of themcked actualbat experience, resulting in their wills crumbling in front of this fierce heavenly tribtion. With that fear burning their hearts, they couldn’t even bring out eighty percent of their power before dying.


    The tribtion clouds continued to copse like a crumbling roof. Fragments of the clouds fell to the ground, exploding into countless lightning creatures and bizarre lifeforms.


    By this time, the tribtion clouds were riddled with holes, but it seemed they would need more time to fully copse. The Heavenly Chosens fought with their lives on the line. Some of them formed groups, while some fought for themselves. In any case, it was incredibly chaotic.


    As chaos reigned outside of the Earth Cauldron replica, Long Chen was in a dire situation himself. The heavenly tribtion refused to let him condense his Eternal runes, its energy pouring in uncontrobly to make him burst. Luckily, Lei Linger and Huo Linger worked to counter this force, absorbing the berserk energy and only transmitting the harmless, pure essence to Long Chen.


    Despite their efforts, this tribtion’s energy was so violent that even with Huo Linger and Lei Linger’s absorption, a huge amount of energy still reached Long Chen. Though the nature of the energy was mild, its sheer volume threatened to blow him apart. Even with the support from the white dragon race to help share this burden, Long Chen felt as if he would explode under the pressure.


    “Faster, faster!” Long Chen shouted. The Eternal runes in his body were constantly being refined until they transformed into a multicolored leaf. Just as this leaf reachedpletion, a burst of new runes appeared beside it, forming another leaf.


    The first leaf wasplete, but he had yet to advance to the Eternal realm. When the second leaf formed, his absorption of the lightning energy somehow slowed down. As a result, the energy inside him instantly exceeded his limits, and he spat out blood.


    As Bai Yingxue was linked to Long Chen through the white dragon race’s divine ability, she saw his peril and transmitted orders to everyone urgently. “Quick, absorb more!”


    Hearing this, everyone clenched their teeth and absorbed as much energy as they could, not giving a damn about the risks. Even if they had to die, they had to take in as much energy as possible.


    Their efforts lightened the pressure on Long Chen, giving him a moment to catch his breath. During this time, the second leaf quickly finished forming, but Long Chen still hadn’t be an Eternal expert.


    “Help me!” eximed Long Chen.


    Realizing the danger he was in, Long Chen sent a desperate message to Bai Yingxue. She then clenched her teeth and rallied everyone to absorb even more energy. By this point, they had absorbed so much that all of them had be Heavenly Chosens.


    Their Heavenly Fate Disks spun furiously. However, using their Heavenly Fate Disks to absorb this energy was extremely dangerous; if a disk were to burst, it would cripple them for life.


    But to save Long Chen, they couldn’t care less about the risks. Their Heavenly Fate Disks started to distort as if they would explode at any moment.


    With their aid, the third leaf appeared, and all three leaves merged into a three-leaf pattern.


    <i>BOOM!</i>


    The three leaves formed aplete three-leaf grass. As it took shape, an explosive surge of power erupted within Long Chen, flooding his body with vast Eternal energy.


    “Finally!” Long Chen eximed, feeling the overwhelming energy course through him. Once the tribtion was over, this power would once more multiply, and he would be a true Eternal expert.


    But the Earth Cauldron’s voice cut through his tion. “Don’t celebrate just yet! You’ve only used up a fraction of the energy inside the cauldron replica. Ny percent still remains. If you can’t dissipate it, it will still kill you!”


    "Hehe, everything is under control," Long Chen chuckled, raising his hand to reveal a medicinal pill.


    “What are you doing?!” The Earth Cauldron’s voice was filled with shock. That pill was the Nirvanic Charge Pill.


    “I’m going to borrow the power of the heavenly me energy to condense the Nirvanic Charge Star!” Long Chen dered. Without hesitation, he bit down on the Nirvanic Charge Pill.


    <i>BOOM!</i>


    A tiny whirlpool appeared on the left side of Long Chen’s Dantian. The moment it materialized, the interior of the Earth Cauldron replica shuddered violently.
