Chapter 5269 Terrifying Expert
“Do you think you can beat me if you go all out in this state?” sneered Long Chen. He had long since been waiting for this. After all, the previous Heaven Devil had undergone a similar transformation.
The two Heaven Devils were only half-step Human Emperors, meaning they had to stay in their human form until they broke past the Human Emperor realm.
For them to transform prematurely would gravely affect their future, which was why this Heaven Devil had not transformed all this time. It had only resorted to it as a last option.
However, even in its monstrous state, Long Chen’s Eight Star Battle Armor was crushing it. The moment Long Chen summoned the Eight Star Battle Armor, the Heaven Devil’s aura was suppressed even further. It was as though the stars in the sky were pressing down on it, making it hard for the creature to breathe.
With one powerful slap, Long Chen shattered the Heaven Devil’s cheekbones. The force of this attack surprised even Long Chen himself. After all, this Heaven Devil was incredibly tough, and it was hard to wound it even with divine swords and sabers. While Long Chen had slapped it multiple times, he hadn’t truly injured it.
However, after summoning the Eight Star Battle Armor, Long Chen directly blasted half of the Heaven Devil’s face, causing a rain of blood to fall. Long Chen hadn’t expected his power to increase so dramatically after he got to the Saint realm.
Long Chen glanced within his Dantian. The small clump of flames there didn’t look like much, but he felt that the boost in his power came from it.
Seeing the Heaven Devil off-balance from the slap, Gu Yang and the others immediately attacked. This time, they didn’t hold back.
Yue Zifeng’s sword sliced onto its horn, but golden light exploded upon impact, shattering his Sword Qi.
Yue Zifeng was shocked. He hadn’t held back with his strike, fully intending to slice off the horn. Yet, it was so tough that his Sword Qi was crushed.
The Heaven Devil roared, its horn blazing with light as it pointed directly at Yue Zifeng. The next moment, the space around Yue Zifeng collapsed, locking him in place.
“Boss!” Yue Zifeng shouted.
Long Chen immediately sensed something was wrong and moved in front of Yue Zifeng. With Dragonbone Evilmoon in hand, Long Chen used it as a shield.
BOOM!
An explosive sound rang out. Evilmoon shuddered, and Long Chen grunted in pain as the immense force struck him. The pit of his stomach ached, and he almost spat out blood as he was sent flying.
Everyone was shocked. No one had seen any attack from the Heaven Devil, as if the attack was invisible.
As Long Chen and Yue Zifeng flew back, Yue Zifeng shouted, “Everyone, be careful! Its horn is strange and can summon invisible power!”
“What invisible power? This is my blood devil race’s High Void Incorporeal Slash! Even if you know about it, it’s useless! All of you will die today!” sneered the Heaven Devil.
The Heaven Devil’s horn continued to shine brightly as devil qi poured into it. Just as it was about to unleash another attack, Evilmoon slashed through the air. The Heaven Devil screamed in pain as its horn was severed.
Xia Chen immediately grabbed the three-foot-long horn. “Complete divine ability runes! Maybe I can replicate its divine ability! Don’t waste its blood. Help me gather it!”
Fresh blood gushed from where the horn had been severed, and at Xia Chen’s words, everyone quickly took out bottles to collect the precious blood.
“You damn brutes, how dare you!?” the Heaven Devil roared in fury and lunged toward Xia Chen to reclaim its horn. But before it could reach Xia Chen, Long Chen sent it flying back with another slap. Having lost its horn, it had significantly weakened, proving just how crucial the horn was.
The battle continued with everyone attacking the Heaven Devil. Without its horn, it was suppressed once again. Long Chen simply watched, letting his comrades handle the battle.
Two hours later, its aura plummeted even further. Sensing the time was right, Long Chen knocked it out with a powerful palm to the back of its head.
They planned to imprison it in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, where they could use it as a sparring partner for future training. However, this Heaven Devil was even more foul-mouthed than the previous one, cursing endlessly no matter who fought it.
However, now that it was in their hands, its fate was set. After the captain-class experts had a turn with it, it was passed to the Dragonblood warriors.
Long Chen didn’t wait around, however. He ordered everyone to continue their journey. A few days later, they encountered another army of devil creatures. The same pattern played out: they slaughtered the creatures and searched for the altar.
This time, however, they were disappointed. The altar they found only contained a corpse. Maybe something had happened to the altar and killed the genius inside.
Continuing onward, they were attacked by another wave of stronger devil creatures. Despite this, they weren’t a match for Long Chen and his team, who swiftly dealt with them.
Upon finding the altar, they released the creature within. This Heaven Devil was as strong as the bald one and possessed a terrifying divine ability. But after Long Chen dealt with it, it was also imprisoned.
The Dragonblood Legion continued to sweep through all opposition. Though they could sense the devil creatures before encountering them and had the option to avoid them, they chose to battle. After all, how could they let such precious commodities off?
They uncovered seven strongholds of the devil race and dug out seven altars. Out of the seven, two had gone bad, but they still managed to extract Heaven Devil geniuses from the others. Each one was stronger than the last. However, now that the captains had reached the Saint realm, they could fight these devils one-on-one.
Thanks to the pressure of these experts, everyone’s rate of improvement shot through the roof. The Dragonblood warriors were growing stronger day by day, and even the Dragon Domain’s disciples started to show some potential.
The leaders of the dragon race watched their children grow with pride and admiration, deeply grateful to Long Chen.
On this day, as the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests continued through the Endless Desolation, Long Chen suddenly felt his heart tremble. His body turned ice-cold as if a wild beast had locked onto him. The next moment, a figure appeared before the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests.
“Vestige of the nine stars, come out and face your death!” a cold snort echoed, shaking the entire world. Everyone inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests trembled and spat out blood simultaneously.
