Chapter 6019 A Challenge Letter to the Whole World
Heavenly Nurture City was a sacred human city from the primal chaos era, standing as a land of ten thousand mounds. Each mound concentrated the qi flow of heaven and earth, forming a natural spirit-gathering formation. This city was built as a cultivation sanctuary for the human race.
Only humans could fully benefit from this natural qi flow. It nurtured their cultivation and allowed them to harmonize more deeply with the Heavenly Daos.
But now, Heavenly Nurture City was in ruins. The city walls were shattered, the wreckage showing clear signs of being blasted apart. Smoke and blood clung to the desolation.
Countless demon experts gathered within the city, carrying out some kind of ceremony.
They had built an altar here, and it was covered in bloody sacrifices. Upon closer inspection, those sacrifices were beating human hearts.
Dozens of Sovereign Lords stood around the altar, chanting in a strange tongue while waving wooden staves. They circled the bloody altar in a twisted procession, while countless demon experts piously knelt and chanted something.
Beyond the city, hidden behind formation veils, multiple figures held photographic jades. They were watching with bated breath.
Suddenly, a streak of divine light split the sky above Heavenly Nurture City. A group of young disciples descended.
The demons instantly noticed them. But upon seeing only Heaven Saints, the Sovereign Lords continued their ceremony undisturbed. A group of Demon Emperors and younger demon elites flew up to intercept the human Heaven Saints.
Long Chen and the Dragonblood Legion hovered above the city, glaring down at the altar. Their bodies trembled with fury.
“Brothers,” Long Chen shouted, his voice like thunder, “do you feel it? The cries of agony, the endless resentment, the despair of watching everyone you love slaughtered before your eyes? Their souls are still here, still weeping, still cursing. These animals dare to use human hearts as sacrificial offerings. They see us as livestock—as slaves! Draw your blades! We will cut off their heads to comfort the souls of our fallen kin! We will use their blood to write a challenge letter to the world!”
In unison, all the Dragonblood warriors unsheathed their swords and exuded sharp killing intent. In an instant, the entire world darkened.
“Kill!” Guo Ran roared, charging forward with his battle sabers.
The demon elites surged to meet them and were instantly obliterated. They had gravely underestimated this group of Heaven Saints. One after another, they were cut down.
Even Demon Emperors couldn’t endure a single strike. And the Dragonblood warriors hadn’t even summoned their Dragon Blood Battle Armor yet.
“It’s begun!”
The observers in the shadows clutched their photographic jades in shock. They had been stationed here two days in advance, ordered to document everything. When they first saw the terrifying number of demon experts, they grew apprehensive. If they were noticed, they wouldn’t even have a chance to run.
Furthermore, they were doubtful that Long Chen would dare to show his face.
And yet, not only had Long Chen come—his arrival was a declaration of war written in blood. The fresh gore raining from the sky was all the proof they needed. The operatives from the Huayun Trading Company trembled in their hiding spots.
They weren’t ordinary workers. The Huayun Trading Company employed elite specialists trained in intelligence gathering. They weren’t just powerful—they were masters of stealth. Scattered across the nine heavens and ten lands, these shadow experts were the backbone of the company's information network.
“Courting death!”
The Sovereign Lords finally reacted. Realizing that this wasn’t a group of mere juniors, several of them abandoned the ceremony and soared upward to attack.
When the Sovereign Lords came, the Dragonblood warriors shouted, “Dragon Blood Battle Armor!”
The next moment, their dragon blood manifestations appeared behind them, and dragon cries shook the heavens.
BOOM!
A Sovereign Lord wielding a bone whip clashed with one of the Dragonblood warriors. The explosion of their impact sent both flying backward.
“What?!”
Shock filled the eyes of the demons. An ordinary warrior had clashed evenly with a Sovereign Lord?
Before the demon Sovereign Lord could recover, a sharp sword streaked through the air and severed his head cleanly.
The corpse grew rapidly, returning to its original form—an enormous python.
“Rock Crystal Blood Python,” Long Chen spat coldly. “A trash bloodline from the primal chaos era. And you dare defile the human race?”
The previous enemies had been torn apart so quickly that Long Chen couldn’t even identify them. But now, seeing this python, Long Chen seethed with anger.
The Rock Crystal Blood Pythons were nothing more than lackeys of the Black Rock Nine Underworld Python race. While the latter had a minor fame in the primal chaos era, they had never ranked among the true powerhouses.
Yet now, one of their servants dared to massacre humans in broad daylight? Did they truly believe the human race had fallen so low?
Gu Yang, Guo Ran, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and the captains charged toward the altar, slaughtering their way into the ranks of the Sovereign Lords. This was no longer a battle—it was a massacre. The Sovereign Lords couldn’t even stall them.
However, Yue Zifeng didn’t join in. He was different from the others. The Sword God’s blessing allowed him to unleash terrifying force, but at great cost. The backlash and recovery time were severe. Unless a true powerhouse appeared, he wouldn’t act.
BOOM!
On Bai Xiaole’s side, he locked a Sovereign Lord in place using his Three Flower Pupils. As the demon froze in illusion, Little Nine opened his mouth. A violet sword-light blasted the demon’s head apart.
“Hey, Boss wants their corpses intact!” Bai Xiaole scolded, gathering the headless corpse with a wave of his hand.
“I know! Don’t be so pesky. Move on to the next one!” Little Nine retorted.
It also knew it had made a mistake, but it didn’t like being criticized.
The two of them vanished, moving on to the next target.
Perhaps they’d spent too much time with Guo Ran. In this chaotic melee, they had resorted to trickery and ambushes, avoiding direct fights altogether. With control over spatial energy and pupil arts, they were practically unmatched when it came to ambushes.
After doing this for a long time, they grew to like this kind of treachery. It was easy and exceptionally enjoyable.
“The formation is set up! Next!”
Xia Chen’s voice rang throughout the city.
The fight was over. The Sovereign Lords and Sovereign sprouts were all slain and collected. As for the rest? They weren’t even worth the effort.
The moment the Dragonblood Legion gathered on the teleportation formation, it activated. They vanished, leaving behind a ruined city still flowing with blood.
