Chapter 6402 Poison?
As astral winds howled, blasting back the top experts before they could even approach Long Chen.
“How can this be?!”
All of them were stunned. They were all top experts with 999 Sovereign flames—heavenly geniuses at the pinnacle of the Human Emperor realm. How could they not even resist Long Chen’s aura?
Within the raging astral winds, they saw 998 Sovereign flames swirling around Long Chen, unleashing countless threads that spread in every direction.
They quickly realized those weren’t threads at all—they were qi waves that tore open countless thin cracks in the void. The shrill explosions they emitted shook every soul present.
They had never witnessed such a terrifying presence. Again and again, they confirmed the number of Long Chen’s Sovereign flames.
Yes, it was 998. However, the aura they released completely blew these experts away. They could hardly believe their eyes. Those with the same number of flames felt their hearts sink into despair. Before Long Chen, they felt as tiny as ants.
Although Xi Yuanqing had prepared his heart, he couldn’t help but contract his pupils. Long Chen’s power was far greater than he had expected.
Astral winds ravaged the land, and dragon cries echoed through the air.
Long Chen’s manifestation became even more active. The dragon within his divine ring surged with supreme might. At this moment, Long Chen resembled a god among dragons.
998 Sovereign flames. Hehe, it’s not bad at all!
Long Chen stood there, sensing the power of his Sovereign flames. Each of his Sovereign flames had a dragon-shaped rune in it. Endless power circulated within the Sovereign flames, and his dragon blood had reached an unprecedented height.
“Don’t be afraid! He only has a powerful aura!” a dragon expert with a third eye shouted. “His flames aren’t stable as he just broke through. We still have a chance!”
Before his words faded, Long Chen casually extended his hand.
The space around the three-eyed dragon expert collapsed, and a terrifying suction dragged him toward Long Chen.
BOOM!
The three-eyed dragon expert roared as his Sovereign flames flared, condensing into a divine net that nailed him into the sky, stopping the pull. Having reacted quickly to Long Chen’s technique, he was indeed worthy of being one of the top dragon experts here.
But then, a rune lit up on Long Chen’s palm.
“Divine Dragon Pull!”
BOOM!
The void around the three-eyed dragon expert exploded, and the divine net shattered under Long Chen’s brute force. The three-eyed expert was dragged toward Long Chen again, screaming in terror.
His comrades rushed forward, but they were too late. That fellow was already right in front of Long Chen.
“Fuck off!” The dragon expert cursed, and his third eye flew open, veins bulging across his forehead. But before he could unleash his power—
“Too slow.”
“ARGHH!”
A scream tore from this expert’s throat as Long Chen’s finger pierced straight through his third eye. His blood sprayed like a fountain.
Then, lightning flared from Long Chen’s fingertip, and a thunderbolt arrow shot through the man’s skull. His body convulsed once before collapsing like a puppet with its strings cut. He was dead.
With a casual move, Long Chen had pulled a dragon expert with 999 Sovereign flames toward him and killed him without resistance. That made everyone else shudder. Terror swarmed their minds.
Zhizhi...
A tender vine suddenly slipped out of the void. It looked like a newborn sprout, so fragile it seemed it would break at a touch. Yet, it effortlessly wrapped around the corpse and dragged it into the primal chaos space.
“Zhi Zhi?” Long Chen blinked in surprise. Within the primal chaos space, a translucent vine had sprouted from the black soil where Zhi Zhi’s body once was.
Three feet tall and as thick as a thigh, the vine resembled a bamboo shoot sprouting out of the soil. Liquid flowed within the vine like blood, carrying countless tiny runes that flickered faintly.
Zhizhi...
After dragging the corpse into the primal chaos space’s black soil, the vine went still.
Long Chen’s chest warmed. Zhi Zhi’s new body had just formed, and its mind was not yet fully awakened. And yet, even in this weakened state, it instinctively carried out the work it had always done—gathering corpses for Long Chen.
It was only because Long Chen had slain the three-eyed expert at such close range that Zhi Zhi had sensed it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have reacted at all.
“You really are a hardworking child.” Long Chen sighed, a faint smile easing across his face. Seeing Zhi Zhi reborn, he finally felt a bit of relief.
Just then, the void behind Long Chen rippled.
A black dragon claw silently emerged, wreathed in toxic black qi that corroded the very fabric of space. Its stench of death was suffocating.
It was the work of a poison dragon.
This poison dragon specialized in spatial assassination, and his claws carried venom strong enough to rot even Divine Sovereign magical items.
The black dragon claw swept toward Long Chen’s back. But without even glancing behind, Long Chen swung his own claw.
BOOM!
The black dragon claw exploded, along with the surrounding space. A figure covered in black liquid flew through the air.
“Quick, kill him! He’s been struck by my poison! That arm of his is ruined!” he shrieked as he flew back.
This sneak attacker was another terrifying existence with 999 Sovereign flames. He had laced that attack with concentrated venom.
He hadn’t feared Long Chen’s retaliation—he had only feared Long Chen dodging. In that case, his poison wouldn’t be able to penetrate Long Chen’s body.
Just then, coils of black qi slithered across Long Chen’s arm, writhing like venomous vipers.
“Now! Kill him!” Netherdragon Xuan roared, seizing the opening and charging forward.
The other traitorous dragon experts immediately followed suit, unleashing their full might.
Just as Netherdragon Xuan was halfway there, he saw Long Chen mockingly raise his hand.
“Poison? Is this supposed to be one?” Long Chen asked.
With a flick, the venom scattered into the air.
“AH!”
One unlucky dragon expert caught it full in the face. His skull dissolved instantly, vanishing into a cloud of black mist.
Seeing the poison powerless against Long Chen, Netherdragon Xuan gritted his teeth. Raising his dragon-scale shield, he roared and smashed it straight at Long Chen.
