Chapter 5805 Living For Slaughter
Evilmoon was back, and its sinister aura was several times denser than before. It was like a bloodthirsty fiend that had just gorged itself on a devilish feast.
Yet, rather than being satiated, this feast only amplified its hunger, intensifying its craving for fresh blood.
“Blood! I need blood! Kill... kill them all! Hahaha, I live for slaughter!”
Evilmoon's voice echoed throughout heaven and earth like a devil's murmur or a ghost's whisper. It sent shivers down the spines of all who heard it, instilling terror into their souls.
Black qi coiled around Evilmoon like spectral tentacles, greedily absorbing the life force of the very world itself. In this moment, Evilmoon appeared to be the embodiment of a life-reaping scythe.
Suddenly, Long Chen slowly released Evilmoon, allowing its tip to sink into the earth.
A ripple of energy instantly spread across the battlefield. Wherever it passed, the blood staining the ground vanished. In mere moments, the once blood-soaked land became clean again.
All that blood had been absorbed, and Evilmoon's aura became even more terrifying. Slowly, it lifted itself from the ground and hovered in midair.
“You needed my help for this group of amateurs? Long Chen, you’ve fallen low,” said Evilmoon.
Evilmoon’s eerie voice reverberated across the battlefield, its sinister aura making even veteran warriors tremble.
The devil experts had their own dark auras, but compared to Evilmoon, their power was as insignificant as a bubble before the ocean. They were simply not on the same level.
Evilmoon had changed—its aura, its voice, even its very presence. It felt like a completely different entity, like a stranger.
“As long as you’re not just bragging, then we’re still good brothers,” Long Chen replied. “I left them to you because you're hungry. If you don't want them, I'll handle them myself.”
Though Long Chen had exhausted his violet blood, his dragon blood, and most of his Supreme Blood, he still had his astral energy.
Long Chen had only summoned Evilmoon because he could sense its aura. It seemed to have absorbed all the energy in the altar. He wanted to see how much it had grown and whether it still needed blood soul energy.
If Evilmoon had no need for it, he would feed the corpses to the black soil. After all, Lei Linger also required vast amounts of energy.
Long Chen had been kind enough to let Evilmon have first dibs, but the ungrateful blade had the audacity to mock him. Long Chen slowly circulated his astral energy, showing that he was going to fight on his own.
“Wait, wait! Don’t be like that! I was just joking! Now that I’m here, I won’t stop until they’re all dead! Leave them to me!” Evilmoon hastily reassured.
As if afraid that Long Chen would take matters into his own hands, black qi erupted from Evilmoon. Suddenly, millions of black dragons materialized, their forms layered upon one another, exuding an overwhelming aura of resentment. Even Long Chen's hair stood on end as he felt the boundless malice emanating from them.
“It has most likely reached the threshold. It just needs a bit more energy,” the Earth Cauldron murmured worriedly.
From the start, the Earth Cauldron had been wary of Evilmoon. Now that Evilmoon had grown stronger, its aura had turned even more sinister. The Earth Cauldron was truly worried that Long Chen wouldn’t be able to control it.
BOOM!
Millions of evil dragons surged toward the devils. In a panic, they raised their weapons, only to find their attacks passing through the dragons' spectral bodies without effect.
“What the hell are these things?!” shouted one of the devils.
As the weapons sliced into them, the evil dragons opened their mouths.
A terrifying scene unfolded. Yu Mo screamed as a dragon's maw clamped down, instantly severing her head. Her powerful aura was snuffed out in an instant.
“What is going on?!”
Panic erupted among the devil experts. They were horrified to find that these dragons could shift between illusion and reality at will. They had never encountered such an entity before.
Long Chen was also stunned. When did Evilmoon raise such an army? He had never sensed their presence before.
High above, Evilmoon floated ominously, its power now dispersed among the evil dragons. It leisurely absorbed the blood of fallen Devil Emperors, relishing the feast.
Seeing Long Chen’s stunned expression, Evilmoon chuckled, “These are the dragon souls I devoured long ago. Back then, to seize this body, I had to consume them first. I’ve always wanted to awaken them, but I didn’t have the necessary energy to sustain them. This time, I accumulated enough power from the devil heart. Haha! Finally, I’ve managed to raise my little brothers properly. Their strength is mine, and normally, they slumber within the runes in the blade. In the future, even if I'm in seclusion, you can still command their power.”
Hearing this, Long Chen was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that the dragon souls had become an extension of Evilmoon. As they grew stronger, so too would Evilmoon itself.
The evil dragons rampaged through the battlefield, utterly overwhelming the Devil Emperors. The devils were powerless before them.
Their weapons passed harmlessly through the dragons' illusory bodies, while the dragons countered with devastating force. Some dragons even detonated themselves, creating openings for their brethren to strike the killing blow.
One by one, the mid-stage Devil Emperors fell. Their attempts to flee were in vain as the evil dragons had sealed off every escape route.
If there had only been one or two dragons, the devils could have stood a chance. But against millions squeezing them into this tight space? There was nowhere to run.
In just a short moment, the remaining mid-stage Devil Emperors were annihilated.
Just like that, the devil race’s army crumbled. The survivors abandoned everything and started running. Looking at Long Chen, who looked like a bloodthirsty king of devils, they lost their courage.
Meanwhile, the battle of the peak experts remained silent.
“Did I say you could leave?!” shouted Evilmoon.
With that, the army of evil dragons surged forward, bearing down upon the fleeing devil experts like an inescapable tide of death.
