BOOM!
Huo Linger spread a pair of golden wings that sliced through the dome of the heavens. This time, her wings had eighteen Golden Crows flying within them. With these totemic wings, she struck the three-vein Heaven Saint devil creature, forcing it to cough up blood.
Huo Linger fought both in human form and as a Golden Crow, sometimes changing form multiple times in the blink of an eye. The sky was filled with her images, making it impossible to tell which was real or fake. Because of this, the three-vein Heaven Saint struggled to keep up with Huo Linger’s relentless assault and was unable to counterattack.
Huo Linger did not have the sacred dragon might suppressing her opponent; she was relying entirely on her own abilities, which meant that Huo Linger’s power had surpassed Long Chen’s.
The eighteen Golden Crows occasionally transformed into totems to boost Huo Linger’s power and sometimes into Golden Crows that attacked individually or in unison. These unpredictable attacks would fluster even Long Chen, let alone this devil creature.
“How terrifying!” Long Chen didn’t even know how many times he had said this today.
Huo Linger had completely suppressed the devil creature. If she wanted to kill it, it would only take a few moves. However, she was in no rush to do so. She was using it as a sparring partner, constantly testing out the new divine abilities of the Golden Crow race.
Long Chen’s mind sank into the primal chaos space, and he saw thousands of Golden Crows slumbering on top of the Fusang Trees. However, these crows were only a few dozen meters long, and their auras weren’t that strong.
“There are too many Golden Crows now, and it’ll take an enormous amount of energy to make them grow. It looks like I’m not providing them enough energy,” muttered Long Chen.
The life energy in the primal chaos space had become sparse as the Fusang Trees absorbed large amounts of it. Raising a large group of Golden Crows indeed required a shocking amount of energy.
“Huo Linger is already so terrifying with only eighteen Golden Crows. If she had over seven thousand Golden Crows instead, how strong would she be?” Long Chen wondered as he watched Huo Linger fight. He almost didn’t dare to even imagine it.
Those eighteen Golden Crows were equivalent to eighteen Heavenly Chosens with undying bodies. Moreover, Huo Linger could merge and split their power at will. This kind of power was practically cheating!
BOOM!
The three-vein Heaven Saint devil creature finally couldn’t endure Huo Linger’s power, and her staff smashed into it. The devil creature was extremely aggrieved. It couldn’t beat her, nor could it run from her. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Long Chen extended his finger. This time, due to Huo Linger exhausting all of its core energy, leaving it in an extremely weak state, Long Chen’s finger penetrated its skull. After that, he started a direct soulsearch.
Huo Linger watched from the side. When he saw that Long Chen didn’t seem happy, she asked, “How is it? Is it no good?”
Long Chen nodded. “It’s no good. Although I detect some strange fluctuations, I can’t decipher them. If Meng Qi were here, she would definitely be able to read them easily.”
Long Chen couldn’t help but think of Meng Qi. With her skill in soul arts, such a thing would not be difficult for her. Sadly, Long Chen couldn’t do the same. Although his Spiritual Strength was powerful, his power was too wild. There was no way for him to achieve the same level of perfect control, which was why he gave up on cultivating soul arts.
“Senior, I have an idea. I just wonder…” Long Chen suddenly asked the Earth Cauldron for its opinion.
Right now, he was considering two possibilities. One was to go straight to the core region and compete with the various heavenly geniuses for the best timing to make his breakthrough, while the other was to take a look at the stone fetus. He kept feeling like it was hiding some kind of secret, and if he missed out on this chance, he would regret it for a lifetime.
Long Chen wanted to know the secrets of the stone fetus, but he also didn’t want to miss the chance to get to the core region of the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain. If others reached the Eternal realm before him, especially the likes of Netherdragon Wushang, Luo Yujiao, Lu Fan, and Huang Wudao, he would be in trouble. While he didn’t fear them, if he was still in the Divine Venerate realm when he fought them, he wouldn’t be able to beat them.
Unable to decide between the two options, Long Chen then turned to the Earth Cauldron, wanting to hear its opinion.
“You need to consider this yourself. I can’t tell you what to do. This is a fork in the road, and the future karma is something even I cannot see through,” said the Earth Cauldron.
Gritting his teeth, Long Chen said, “The core region has to be occupied by the Brahma Pill Valley’s people. For outsiders to get something from them won’t be so easy. I might as well first see what’s going on with the stone fetus.”
The Earth Cauldron did not respond, and it wasn’t planning on giving Long Chen any advice. Whether this was a blessing or a disaster was unclear to it, so it could only leave it to Long Chen.
Long Chen didn’t bother wasting more words. He had Huo Linger return to the primal chaos space to rest. Although Huo Linger was still in an excited state, the two battles had caused the eighteen Golden Crows to start running out of energy. They needed to rest.
Furthermore, due to the number of Golden Crows that had suddenly been born on the Fusang Trees, the primal chaos space’s life energy was now sparse. Restoring them to their peak condition would not be as easy as before. Even though Huo Linger wasn’t too happy about it, she had no choice but to return to the primal chaos space to rest.
As for Long Chen, he flew toward the core region. While he encountered countless devil creatures along the way, he didn’t have the patience to deal with them.
With his lightning wings, Long Chen rushed through the air. He saw quite a few races stealthily creeping toward the core region. They were likely the fish that had slipped through the net. Because they didn’t have numbers, they were easily overlooked.
When they saw Long Chen fly past, they were startled, and quite a few of them got a greedy look in their eyes. However, their greed quickly vanished. With their power, trying to kill Long Chen would be no different than suicide.
As Long Chen sped through the air, he quickly saw a squad of hundreds of thousands of people fighting a devil creature army.
“Hehe, here’s my chance.”
Without another word, Long Chen dove down upon them.
