Chapter 5566: Golden Armor Earth Dragon
“Hahaha, our ancestral weapon has appeared. It is fated that our race will rise once more! This new era definitely has a place for us!” said a mysterious figure.
This figure stood tall, holding a divine ring that radiated dazzling light, illuminating the heavens. Dense primal chaos qi swirled around the ring, unmistakably marking it as a divine treasure.
There were countless lifeforms around it, cheering crazily. Some of them were so moved that they were crying.
BOOM!
Just as the crowd’s excitement reached its peak, a hand materialized out of thin air, clutching a red brick. With ruthless precision, the brick smashed into the back of this figure’s head.
Blood sprayed out, and the impact rattled the heaven vein dragon qi protecting the figure, causing it to nearly dissipate.
“With this brick in hand, everyone beneath the heavens belongs to me!” exclaimed someone.
Another hand stretched out of the void and grabbed the divine ring before vanishing.
“Who goes there?!”
These lifeforms went crazy, and countless magical arts and divine weapons flew through the air. Yet, despite their frantic attacks, the thief remained invisible. The divine ring had vanished without a trace.…
Long Chen’s figure appeared in the sky, already miles away from the frenzied mob.
“Hahaha, the Heretic Blood Heaven Flipping Seal really is unmatched!” Long Chen laughed heartily.
In his right hand was the Heaven Flipping Seal, while his left clutched the stolen divine ring.
At this moment, Little Heaven had fully adapted to its new body. It had two primary abilities: one to hide within its own spatial dimension and another for spatial transportation. These capabilities were the easiest to control, and without them, the previous owner would never have managed to ambush Long Chen with the Heretic Blood Divine Seal.
However, Little Heaven was still weak and unable to fully access the divine item’s other abilities and runes. It would need more time to grow stronger.
“This thing is useless to you. Toss it in!” said the Earth Cauldron.
Long Chen examined the divine ring. Its energy required a specific bloodline to activate, rendering it useless to him. Without hesitation, he tossed it into the primal chaos space, where Evilmoon shattered it with a single slash.
The divine ring exploded, releasing a wave of divine light. The Earth Cauldron, Demon Moon Cauldron, and Evilmoon immediately surrounded the light, devouring it ravenously. This divine light contained the energy unique to the primal chaos era, so it was of great nourishment to them.
“Let’s leave a bit for Little Heaven,” said the Earth Cauldron, sending a ray of divine light into the Heretic Blood Heaven Flipping Seal.
Long Chen could feel Little Heaven’s aura grow more robust as it absorbed the energy. Its dry and withered appearance also smoothed out slightly.
Having gotten a taste of fresh primal chaos energy, Evilmoon urged, “That was good! Time is treasure, Long Chen! Let’s move on to the next!”
Long Chen noted the significant change in the auras of his treasures after absorbing the divine energy. Although Yao Linger remained silent, her excited spiritual fluctuations revealed her joy.
“Let’s go!” Long Chen grinned.
Seeing them so excited, Long Chen couldn’t be happier. After all, they were his strongest trump cards. Upgrading them was also upgrading himself.
…
In the distance, heaven-shaking roars echoed as a group of winged lifeforms were attacking a Golden Armor Earth Dragon with their divine bows.
Their bows glowed as they unleashed a torrent of arrows that tore through the air with dazzling light. These winged lifeforms were tall and lean, numbering in the millions. Every single one of them was an expert amongst experts, emanating suffocating demonic qi that caused heaven and earth to change color.
Most terrifying of all, a tenth of them had condensed heaven vein dragon qi and were one-vein Heaven Saints. Leading them were three individuals: one man and two women. Each of them exuded immense power with two heaven veins swirling around them.
The arrows struck the Golden Armor Earth Dragon, producing sparks but failing to penetrate its thick armor. The Earth Dragon roared furiously, its massive body imposing, yet it remained rooted to its position as if guarding something.
Oh, someone familiar!
Long Chen peered out from a dense forest, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he recognized one of the female leaders.
She was a member of the Heaven Demon Divine Phoenix race, someone he had encountered with Yue Zifeng on their journey back to the Wind God Sea Pavilion. But now, her aura was far more terrifying.
Two heaven vein dragon qi swirled around her, and the two radiant feathers on her head shone brilliantly. Even Long Chen felt an oppressive pressure from her presence.
Beside her stood a man adorned in a golden crown and belt, his bow also glimmering gold. Although he attacked casually without summoning his manifestation, his two-vein Heaven Saint aura was overwhelming.
“How are they condensing heaven veins so quickly?!” Long Chen muttered, astonished.
“Of course they’re fast. They are chosen by the heavens’ fate,” explained the Earth Cauldron. “Half of their race’s karmic luck is concentrated in the three of them.”
Long Chen’s eyes widened in realization. He said, “No wonder… Tang Wan-er also condensed her heaven vein so quickly. It must be the same principle.”
If the three of them had condensed two heaven veins, then Long Chen estimated that Tang Wan-er had probably condensed three.
The woman from the Heaven Demon Divine Phoenix race, who once posed no real threat to Long Chen, had now become a formidable presence after condensing two heaven veins. The sheer increase in her power was staggering.
It was clear—each additional heaven vein brought a complete transformation, turning these individuals into something far more dangerous.
Meanwhile, the relentless assault on the Golden Armor Earth Dragon continued. Pushed to its limits, the beast finally snapped. With a deafening roar, it reared up on its four limbs and charged like a bolt of lightning, its massive body moving with an unexpected and terrifying agility.
Long Chen’s eyes widened in surprise. How could such an awkward-looking creature display this level of speed?
However, as it charged over, something caught Long Chen’s attention—the entrance to a cave. It was previously hidden beneath its colossal frame but was now exposed.
“So that’s what it’s been guarding,” Long Chen murmured.
It all made sense now. The Earth Dragon’s reluctance to attack wasn’t out of fear or hesitation; it was protecting something within that cave. Its lack of ranged divine abilities had forced it to endure the relentless attacks, but now that it was enraged, it unleashed its ferocity.
The Heaven Demon Divine Phoenix race’s experts were caught off guard by the Earth Dragon’s sudden burst of speed. The creature tore through their ranks like a hurricane, scattering their forces and leaving carnage in its wake.
Yet, the three leaders didn’t care about their losses. With a decisive motion, they abandoned their troops and darted toward the cave entrance.
Long Chen watched the scene unfold with a calculating gaze. A sly grin tugged at the corners of his lips. The instant the leaders entered the cave, his figure blurred and vanished into the shadows, leaving no trace behind.
