Chapter 6202 Heaven Region Divine Stone
The black-robed man was Long Chen. The moment he appeared, the enemy experts didn’t hesitate.
“Die!” shouted a devil expert.
A thin sword slashed toward Long Chen. Its Sword Qi whistled sharply, a sign of the powerful control of the devil expert.
As a hundred-flame divine sprout, this devil expert was stronger than the hundred-flame divine sprouts from the nine heavens.
However, Long Chen simply raised his hand and caught that sword.
Crack!
With a twist, he shattered that sword and flung it like a dart.
The next moment, the devil expert’s head flew into the sky.
Grabbing the severed head, Long Chen thrust a finger through it. Just as he was about to do a soulsearch, his expression changed, and he shot back.
The head exploded, transforming into strange, igniting runes. Then, the curse energy rapidly spread from them.
“Tch. No soulsearch, then,” Long Chen snorted. “Clever bastards.”
“Damn thing, how dare you kill one of us?!” The other devil experts shouted, furiously charging at Long Chen.
“Supreme Yin, Supreme Yang—Ten Thousand Laws Return to the Source.”
Long Chen pressed his thumb and middle finger together. The next moment, Moon Flame and Sun Flame ignited in unison, and a sharp snap rang out across heaven and earth—
BOOM!
A wave of flame burst from him, turning into a ripple of death that devoured the charging foes.
“Not good!”
The devils screamed in terror and immediately switched to defense. However, it was to no avail. They were blown apart one by one.
Even before Long Chen went into seclusion, he had outmatched hundred-flame divine sprouts. Now, he could just toy with them to death.
After his seclusion, his physical body and soul had reached an unprecedented level, which allowed him to unleash the full potential of his flame energy. He could compress it beyond his previous limits, and his vast Spiritual Strength also raised its destructive power to a new height.
When the flames finally died down, fewer than twenty enemies remained. They had only survived by activating high-level magical arts and divine abilities.
“What kind of freak is this?! He doesn’t even have Sovereign flame fluctuations!”
“Quick, spread word—run!”
However, those few stragglers suddenly froze when they turned to flee.
An invisible domain crushed them to the ground. Blood spurted from their mouths as they struggled in vain.
“I don’t have much patience. If you want to live, obediently answer my questions,” Long Chen said as he walked up to one of them. “Are you going to answer me?”
Before the devil man could even open his mouth—
BOOM!
Long Chen kicked him to pieces.
“What about you?!”
BOOM.
Another corpse hit the ground, terrifying the survivors.
Long Chen killed them one by one, like a devil reaping lives—no mercy, no hesitation.
He finally reached the last one.
The devil was about to cry from terror. He quickly said, “What’s your question?! Tell me!”
Long Chen blinked innocently. “Aiya, no wonder you guys didn’t answer earlier—you didn’t even know the question.”
The sole survivor shook in terror. Long Chen had deliberately left him for last. He’d sensed his weak will and cowardice from the start. But if there were other devils around, he definitely wouldn’t dare to answer Long Chen.
However, once Long Chen killed everyone else, this person’s will instantly crumbled. This was his best chance to interrogate this coward.
Long Chen casually asked, “Speak, how did these people end up here? I don’t have much patience, so don’t even try to lie. Your spiritual fluctuations completely sell you out. Of course, if you want to die with them, feel free.”
“If I tell you... will you really let me go?” asked the sole survivor in terror.
“Do you have a choice? You can only gamble your life on my character,” replied Long Chen coldly.
The sole survivor gritted his teeth and made a decision. “Then I’ll gamble. This is a trap. The people of your nine heavens set it up with us. Before coming in, they gave these people transportation fragments. Those fragments were crafted inside the heaven region’s battlefield and tied to its laws. Once activated, they send the user to a preset location—provided they aren’t too far.”
It all clicked.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, “You handed them these fragments during the last opening?”
“Yes. We’ve worked together before, but these fragments are rare. They were only successfully completed last time.”
“And what benefits do they stand to gain from this?” asked Long Chen.
“We gave them special heaven region divine stones. When the scales fall and nine heavens experts are expelled, those stones keep them on the battlefield. But they’re restricted to specific zones—we don’t let them enter our territory.”
More and more secrets spilled out of this person’s mouth.
“Heaven region divine stones?”
Before, Long Chen couldn’t understand why anyone would betray their world. But now it was clear... they weren’t being expelled. They were staying.
“Do you know what factions those traitors of the nine heavens are from?” demanded Long Chen.
That person shook his head. “I don’t know that.”
“For a little hundred-flame divine sprout like you to know this much, your status probably isn’t ordinary, right?” Long Chen asked, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
The man visibly broke into a sweat. “I... I’m under spiritual restrictions. If I reveal anything about my race, my soul will be wiped out instantly.”
Long Chen stared into his eyes.
No lies... It seemed that this person had said the truth, which also proved Long Chen’s guess. This gutless fellow definitely had extraordinary origins.
Just as Long Chen was weighing how to get more from him, the scales quivered and fell again.
Long Chen’s expression sank.
There were more traps and ambushes just like this one. If this kept up, the nine heavens would be expelled before they had a chance to fight.
“Congratulations. You get to keep your little life,” Long Chen said.
With a flap of his Kunpeng wings, Long Chen vanished.
Seeing Long Chen leave, that person collapsed on the ground. He eventually crawled up and ran off.
...
BOOM!
Long Chen flew straight up toward the scales. Eventually, he ran into a wall, and Long Chen directly punched it, tearing through it.
“Conventional methods won’t work in this situation,” Long Chen muttered.
He looked at the giant scales high above the sky, his eyes cold.
