Chapter 6260 Huo Linger’s Infinity-One Dao
Two devil heroic spirits attacked Long Chen at once. With their spread wings and bared fangs, they looked as though they had crawled out from the depths of hell.
Shockingly, the newly awakened golden-winged devil actually spoke, its voice dripping with hatred.
“Heavenly Bat Woman, you killed us back then. Today, I will seize your Dao-Fruit in front of you and slaughter your people! I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!”
“Kill!”
The golden-winged devil had already reached Long Chen. Though it was a manifestation of blood soul energy, its body was nearly indistinguishable from a true physical form. Its golden claws tore through the void, raking straight at Long Chen.
“Everyone, get ready! We must be ready to reinforce Mister Long Chen at any moment!” shouted one of the Shadow Devil Bat race’s seven-hundred-flame divine sprouts.
This divine sprout was one of the pillars of the Shadow Devil Bats on this battlefield. With Ming Yu trapped and two of the giant devils attacking Long Chen, he immediately started to issue orders.
Behind Long Chen stood the divine statue. If he failed to stop the two devils, the Shadow Devil Bat experts would have to throw themselves forward to buy him time.
However, the moment Long Chen agreed to fight for them in Ming Yu’s place, their view of him completely changed.
BOOM!
Long Chen unleashed a palm. The stars around him whirled violently, and with an earth-shaking explosion, the devil was sent flying. Long Chen himself did not move, standing like an immovable mountain.
“A mere discarnate soul dares to act arrogant?” he snorted.
Long Chen remained in his spot, the starlight around him growing even more intense.
At this moment, Long Chen had adapted to the transformations in his astral energy after his Supreme Bone’s awakening.
Now, his Supreme Bone was the merging point of the heavens’ astral energy and the starry sea within his Dantian. It wove countless threads of astral energy into a solid rope. Through its ability, the new astral energy was stronger and far more terrifying.
What astonished Long Chen was that this new astral energy was not only vastly more powerful, but also easier to control. Furthermore, the awakening of his Supreme Bone had transformed his starry sea, which now produced astral energy on its own. It was better than relying solely on absorbing it from the heavens.
As for the origin of this new source of energy, Long Chen had no clear answer. All he knew was that his current astral energy was leagues above his previous limit—and this time, he could wield it without fear.
His Supreme Bone started to glow. Testing it, Long Chen pushed lightly, and his astral energy instantly soared to a new level. Yet despite this eruption, the power remained under his control.
“Arrogant brat, I’ll definitely kill you today!” the devil roared, its mouth opening into a black void.
The next moment, blood-colored runes gathered in his mouth and condensed into a sword
It had unleashed this move before, but now its runes withered as it compressed everything into one suicidal strike.
“Not good!”
The Shadow Devil Bat race’s experts were horrified. They didn’t know what kind of technique the devil was planning to unleash, but the terrifying pressure alone felt like it would rip their souls apart.
“Hmph, you foreign devils don’t know what respect is. The Heavenly Bat Sovereigness could slay your bodies, and I, Long Chen, can slay your discarnate souls!” Long Chen declared, his voice thundering like a god’s decree.
The next moment, starlight beneath his feet exploded, and he vanished from his original location, reappearing right in front of that devil.
Before countless stunned gazes, Long Chen forced the giant sword straight back into the devil’s throat.
BANG!
He kicked the devil’s jaw, sending it flying just as it swallowed its own blade. Its body convulsed, and its runes turned chaotic.
The red-haired man turned pale when he saw this.
“Run!” he shouted.
BOOM!
The devil heroic spirit exploded, rocking the golden-winged devil’s side. Hundreds of experts were caught in the blast and blown to bits.
Seizing the opening, the other devil heroic spirit transformed into a streak of golden light and shot straight toward the statue.
This time, it was the Shadow Devil Bat experts’ turn to feel stunned. They hadn’t even had time to cheer for Long Chen’s kill before this devil heroic spirit reached the statue.
Even knowing they were no match for it, they charged forward without hesitation.
Just then, a beautiful maiden appeared where Long Chen had been, holding a flame lotus. Countless runes flowed together on top of this flame lotus, which sucked the world’s flame energy dry.
“World Extermination Flame Lotus!”
The Nirvana Scripture echoed in the air as Huo Linger slammed the flame lotus toward the devil heroic spirit.
“A little flame spirit dares to stop me?” the devil sneered, spreading its golden wings like a pair of shears to cut the lotus apart.
“Hmph. A wisp of a discarnate soul, neither devil nor ghost, dares to speak to me this way? Yin Yang Infinity-One—explode!”
Imitating Long Chen’s tone, Huo Linger clenched her delicate hand.
BOOM!
The flame lotus erupted in a violent, beautiful explosion. Multicolored divine light blasted a giant hole in the world.
At that instant, the Sun Flame and Moon Flame within the lotus fused, forming a violent repulsion that skyrocketed their destructive power.
Long Chen’s eyes widened. This was his first time witnessing such terrifying force. After compression and fusion, the lotus’s power became truly apocalyptic, blasting the devil flying into the distance.
Even Long Chen was stunned.
Not long ago, Huo Linger had mentioned she had new insights into the Infinity-One Technique, and just now she had insisted on handling one of the devil heroic spirits herself.
Trusting her, and forced by circumstance, Long Chen had given her the chance. He had expected her to simply stall the devil, binding it down so he could return in time. But she had instead crushed it outright.
“Monstrous!” Long Chen praised, not expecting Huo Linger’s control over flames to have reached such a level.
Furthermore, her comprehension over the Infinity-One Technique was even deeper than his own.
By harnessing the opposing and repulsive forces of Yin and Yang, then amplifying them with the Nirvana Scripture, she had merged them into one, elevating the World Extermination Flame Lotus to an inconceivable level.
“In that case...”
Seeing her overwhelming strength, Long Chen instantly changed his plan. Starlight flickered beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared directly before the red-haired man.
