Chapter 5644 Mammoth Devil Elephant
This interference made Long Chen enraged. Was this tortoise not on Hou Tianwu’s side? Why would he help Xue Yingfeng?
However, Long Chen quickly realized that this bastard was playing both sides. He could tell that Xue Yingfeng’s potential was terrifying. Who could say whether or not he might usurp Hou Tianwu and lead the demon race? By saving him now, he was buying a favor.
Other than that, even if Hou Tianwu did criticize him for this, he could say that Xue Yingfeng was still a member of the demon race. If he was to be killed, it had to be Hou Tianwu who killed him. How could they let a human race interfere in their internal matters?
With that, Hou Tianwu also wouldn’t be able to blame him. Long Chen hadn’t expected this tortoise to have such smarts
BOOM!
The dragon claw struck the tortoise shield and exploded, leaving five deep claw imprints on it. The Divine Tortoise expert also spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing the damage to his tortoise shell, he was aggrieved. This shell was his race’s priceless treasure. Now it had been damaged by Long Chen. It probably wouldn’t recover without over a thousand years of time and effort.
However, he still managed to block Long Chen’s killing blow. This bought time for Xue Yingfeng.
Xue Yingfeng’s destroyed body recovered. His body was covered in crystals. Although his aura had fallen, destroying half of his body didn’t seem to threaten his life.
“Hmph, the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race, the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race, you’re all trash. The light of your ancestors has long since extinguished. It’s time for the demon race to have new leadership.” A cold voice rang out. A powerful pressure unfurled, shaking everyone’s hearts. They looked over to see a mass of massive figures walking over.
“It’s the Mammoth Devil Elephant race!”
The demon race’s experts were all astonished to see these newcomers.
These people were taller than three meters and extremely muscular. They possessed both demonic qi and devil qi. Even before seeing them, their sinister auras made their hair stand on end.
The Mammoth Devil Elephant. Their origins could no longer be properly traced. There were too many stories about them.
However, there was one thing that they knew. In the recent era, the Mammoth race had somehow become infected with devil qi, producing a new race. They not only possessed the demonic beast race’s terrifying power, they could also control the devil race’s divine abilities.
The Mammoth Devil Elephant was a new race that had only appeared in the past few millennia. But they soared like a shooting star, rising high within the ranks of the devil and demon races.
Due to both sides viewing them as nothing more than outsider mutants, they were looked down upon. But the Mammoth Devil Elephant race continued to rise. It could be seen that their power was not ordinary.
However, the Mammoth Devil Elephant race had been very mysterious, and rarely revealed themselves.
Now, millions of them appeared at once. That shocked everyone.
The Mammoth race’s experts were normally very large. But their leader was larger than any of the others. They only reached his armpit.
His arms and neck were covered in veins. It was like thousands of tiny serpents were wriggling beneath the surface of his skin. It felt like his power was concentrated to the point that it would make his body explode.
The clash of devil qi and demonic qi made him seem like some monster that had walked out from between both worlds. His icy gaze was full of disdain towards all others.
“Another person with seven core veins!”
Upon seeing his heaven veins, the demon race’s experts were astonished. Just what was going on? Were they after Hou Tianwu?
First the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race appeared, and now the Mammoth Devil Elephant race also showed up. Both of their realms were higher than Hou Tianwu’s. Was this to compete for the leadership position of the Heaven Demon alliance?
Long Chen’s heart sank. The demon race’s foundation was truly deep in the Heaven Essence World.
At this time, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was flashing rapidly. That showed that the Dragonblood warriors had reached a critical point in their recovery. If they were woken up now, rather than actually getting better, they might receive an irrecoverable injury.
As for Gu Yang and the others, worried about Tang Wan-er’s safety, they hadn’t fully closed off the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. If someone were to attack it, they would forcibly cut off their recovery no matter what for a decisive battle.
This action caught Long Chen in a difficult position. If Gu Yang had completely closed off the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, then he could rely on its powerful defenses. These people were incapable of damaging it.
At most, they could kick it out of this spatial channel, but they wouldn’t be able to harm anyone inside. However, now it was different. They were caught in a very passive position.
Long Chen’s astral energy was already exhausted. Although his dragon blood power was sustaining him, against this many powerful experts, even Long Chen felt powerless.
He thought back to Feng Xinyue’s warning. Now he realized what it meant to suffer if one did not listen to their elders.
“The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race? The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race? You former Emperor races are now a joke. Fantian De has already taken control of the channel on the other side. No one dares to take a step into his territory. But here, there is a group of the demon race trying to take control of this passageway, but they are blocked by some lowly humans. What an embarrassment.”
The leader from the Mammoth Devil Elephant race stepped forward, looking down on everyone.
“The demon race needs a new leader. Since all of you are so powerless, then I, Xiang Tu, shall take control of the demon race!”
“Xiang Tu? Who the hell do you think you are? Some race with unknown origins can’t possibly unify the demon race. You must be dreaming,” sneered Hou Tianwu.
In just a few short breaths’ time, Hou Tianwu had already mostly recovered. He couldn’t help mocking Xiang Tu for his arrogance.
“Our origins aren’t important. What is important is that the footsteps of the Mammoth Devil Elephant race cannot be stopped by a few humans. Since you couldn’t do this yourselves, let me do it.” Xiang Tu snorted and waved his hand. A white bone elephant tusk appeared in his hand.
“Slaughter all the humans!”
Xiang Tu snorted and stepped into the battlefield, arriving right in front of Long Chen, his seven veins fully ignited.
BOOM!
Long Chen was forced to block with all his power, but he had already exhausted his energy, while his opponent was in peak condition. He was instantly sent flying.
“Ant of the human race, time for you to die!”
Xiang Tu smiled derisively and suddenly threw his weapon at Long Chen.
“Long Chen!”
Tang Wan-er cried out. She was about to charge out to help him, but Long Chen signalled not to. This barrier was only being maintained thanks to Tang Wan-er. Without her, it would instantly collapse. If a single person managed to get through them and enter the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, everything would be for nothing.
Long Chen suddenly put away Evilmoon. He formed hand seals, and a giant shield with the Defense character appeared.
The elephant tusk instantly pierced through it. Long Chen’s heart shook. With his astral energy exhausted, even the Defense character’s power weakened.
However, although it was broken, it managed to block this attack. The elephant tusk stopped only a few inches from Long Chen’s nose.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed it and shoved it forward. The shield exploded. Xiang Tu had charged after his weapon. Despite his large body, he was extremely agile. He shoved his weapon at Long Chen’s head.
BOOM!
Evilmoon once more appeared in Long Chen’s hands, and he accurately slashed the tip of the rusk, causing its path to deviate.
Xiang Tu was startled, not having expected Long Chen to react so quickly. He actually staggered sideways. But he reacted quickly, and he bent his elbow, smashing Long Chen with his shoulder.
However, just as he did this, Long Chen slapped him in the face, and with an explosive sound, Xiang Tu’s enormous body stumbled back.
This attack was not intentional. When he saw his opponent’s face right in front of him, he instinctively slapped him.
This clear sound caused the jaws of all the demon race’s experts to drop. They stared in disbelief.
