Chapter 6248 Lei Yuner’s Opportunity
“Princess!”
Seeing Long Chen walk out with Lei Yuner, the experts of the Lightning Falcon race almost burst into tears.
A battle amongst Divine Sovereign was far too terrifying. Even with the fight over, the lingering Sovereign might still hung oppressively in the air. The core of the battlefield was especially dreadful—its pressure had forced them back again and again.
They had already given up hope. Blown far into the distance by astral winds, they hadn’t seen what had transpired and could hardly believe anyone had survived.
“Let’s leave here first!” Long Chen said, quickly leading them away.
The disturbance here would definitely draw the attention of other experts, and Long Chen was in no shape to deal with them. Fighting a Divine Sovereign was far too taxing, and he had too many internal injuries he needed to heal.
His injuries this time were even worse than when he had fought Long Biluo. That giant devil’s power was filled with death qi, and it had invaded his body. If he didn’t hurry up and expel it, it would be troublesome.
Less than an incense stick after they departed, countless experts swarmed into the area.
They were all from the other world, and among them was a horned lifeform with golden wings whose aura was especially frightening. The others clearly followed his lead.
When he saw the state of the battlefield, his furious roar shook the sky.
“Trash! You’re all trash! Countless years of effort have been ruined just like this!”
The surrounding experts trembled, not daring to respond.
“Master Yufeng, please calm down. It’s already happened, so there’s no point in being mad about it. The experts from nine heavens had Long Chen break the scales. Their self-recovery will take a long time, so we cannot follow the original plan. If we simply hunt down their experts, the strong ones will retaliate by destroying our legacy lands as well. That’s clearly what happened here. We have to change strategies.”
With a dark expression, Yufeng angrily said, “Pass my order! All members of the Golden Wing Heaven Devil race are to stop hunting the nine heavens’ experts. Guard our legacy lands and seize our inheritances as quickly as possible!”
...
In a secluded mountain valley, black qi roiled around Long Chen. Wherever it touched, trees withered instantly, and even solid stone crumbled to dust.
“What terrifying death qi...”
The Lightning Falcon race’s experts watched in shock. They stood guard over the sleeping Lei Yuner, not daring to wander. Here, in the heaven region’s battlefield, they were painfully aware of their insignificance.
This battle had made them see the truth: in this place, surviving was victory. As for the so-called “opportunities,” they no longer even dared to dream of them.
Meanwhile, Lei Yuner was shrouded in ancient lightning runes. They pulsed and resonated like the lines of a grand formation.
The Lightning Falcon race’s experts had no idea what was going on, but Long Chen had told them not to disturb Lei Yuner, so they patiently waited.
Suddenly, the lightning runes around her body pulsed, and a majestic aura rose out of her.
Lei Yuner’s eyes fluttered open. She stared at her hands in disbelief as the dense cover of lightning runes slowly faded.
Sensing the thunderforce surging in her body and ancient memories in her soul, Lei Yuner was stunned. She felt like she was dreaming.
When the lightning-attribute divine bird had possessed her, her soul had been instantly put to sleep. She had no idea what had happened afterward.
Suddenly, her aura started to surge violently, and her Sovereign flames automatically appeared.
“Heavens! Three hundred Sovereign flames!” cried one of her clansmen in astonishment.
Before this, Lei Yuner had only possessed two hundred and fourteen Sovereign flames. Now, she had jumped straight to three hundred, and the number was still rising.
“Four hundred...!”
“Five hundred! Am I dreaming?”
“Six... six hundred?!”
“Seven—seven hundred!”
The Lightning Falcon race’s experts were on the verge of losing their minds.
The growth finally stopped at an unbelievable seven hundred and fifty-seven Sovereign flames. This was Lei Yuner’s limit.
Sensing their immense power, Lei Yuner was shaking. She didn’t even dare to move, afraid that if she did, she would suddenly wake up from this dream.
After a few breaths, she accepted the truth: it was real. The lightning runes within her body had formed a divine formation, and new abilities were etched deep into her soul.
“Long Chen...”
She turned to Long Chen, who was in the midst of expelling toxins from his body. Although she didn’t know what had happened, she knew this was all thanks to him.
This kind of life-changing opportunity was enough to turn a person into a beast, husband and wife into mortal enemies, and brothers into betrayers. Yet, Long Chen had still given it to her.
Tears welled in her eyes. With this power, she could finally avenge her people. Gratitude and reverence filled her heart. At this moment, if Long Chen asked her to lay down her life, she would do so without hesitation.
Suddenly, the void rumbled.
A golden carriage tore through the sky, exuding an astonishing Sovereign might. Even if it wasn’t a true Divine Sovereign artifact, it was clearly an apex Sovereign Lord divine weapon.
Seeing it rumble away into the distance, the Lightning Falcon race’s experts sighed in relief, only for it to turn back and head straight for them. It had spotted the black qi spreading from Long Chen, who was in the middle of recovering.
“Long Chen? Hahaha, damn nine heavens’ bastards, face your death!”
A savage voice rang out from the carriage as it transformed into a blazing streak of light, hurtling straight toward Long Chen.
