Chapter 1726: Tender Emotions
As Wilde charged through the spatial crack, it rumbled and shook . Spatial blades exploded out of it .
This spatial crack was like a flowing river . Going from the other side to this world was following the flow, but now Wilde was going against the current . It was similar to how Guo Ran had been kicked through the spatial channel before . He needed to endure extreme spatial pressure .
Back then, even Guo Ran’s armor had been deformed . However, as Wilde charged through, those powerful spatial blades all bounced off his skin, unable to cause the slightest harm to him .
Just relying on his physical body, Wilde charged through the spatial blades . Wilde’s physical body had to be even stronger than Guo Ran’s armor .
BOOM!
With a final intense shudder, Wilde managed to charge into the other world . His figure vanished from sight .
Once he was in the other world, the Magical Beasts charging out of the spatial cracks dropped in number . It could be imagined how Wilde had drawn all those Magical Beasts’ attacks . However, Long Chen wasn’t concerned about Wilde’s safety at all .
Tossing Wilde into a sea of Magical Beasts was like tossing a tiger amongst rabbits . Those Magical Beasts weren’t able to cause any real injuries to him .
Furthermore, as he continued to eat, his power would grow . Perhaps Wilde would be able to obtain enough energy to fully satisfy his second form .
“Star Fall . ”
With Wilde gone, Long Chen tossed out a ball that exploded amongst the Magical Beasts . Golden flames devoured them .
The Magical Beasts on the battlefield were cleaned up in an instant . The warriors of the original devil race didn’t have to face any more pressure .
“Aunt Han, are these Magical Beasts useful to our original devil race?” asked Long Chen . With Yue Xihan’s power, she was more than capable of annihilating these Magical Beasts with a wave of her hand . In fact, he estimated that her power was more than enough to seal some of these spatial cracks .
Sometimes just words had the magical effect of drawing two people together quicker . Long Chen’s words made it sound like they were already one family .
Yue Xihan nodded . “In truth, these small spatial cracks were opened by me . ”
Long Chen was startled, not understanding why she would do this . It sounded like she had been bored and looking for trouble .
Yue Xihan looked at Long Chen emotionally . She continued, “Our original devil race has been hunted down by the continent for so many years . We were unable to replenish many of the resources that we used up, and we’ve long since lost our former glory . But with your help, we are finally able to walk on the continent again and do business . We’re starting to get many resources that we lacked . However, rejuvenating the race requires a baptism of blood and fire, or even if we’re stronger, we would still just be stronger prey . So this is tempering for them . I calculated the spatial nodes and tore open the s.p.a.ce to allow these Magical Beasts to invade, using them to temper the geniuses of the original devil race . Although they are very talented, without experiencing true life and death battles, their true combat power will always be limited . It’s just that I didn’t expect that after I opened a few cracks, suddenly they combined into one giant crack . The cracks I opened were originally perfect and would have only allowed early eleventh rank Magical Beasts through . Any stronger ones coming would cause the spatial channel to react and unleash spatial blades to kill them before they could pa.s.s . It was a safe and convenient way of training, but this giant spatial crack was not within my expectations . ”
Now Long Chen understood . Any race needed a powerful enemy to train themselves with . The Martial Heaven Continent might be their enemy, but they still didn’t have the power to fight back . Without any fighting, even geniuses would rot into trash . They would never become true warriors .
Yue Xihan’s decision was the right one, but many things in this world never went according to plan .
Fortunately, this current situation was still within her control . Since Yue Xihan was capable of opening these cracks, she should be capable of closing them as well .
This was an even faster way to temper their junior generation . It was to make them feel a sense of crisis, like they were needed to protect their home .
Long Chen saw that the warriors fighting were at the Soul Transformation realm and below . The Life Star Elders would only go help during dangerous times . They were there just to make sure there wasn’t anything unexpected that caused huge casualties .
Just now, because of the sudden surge of Magical Beasts, with a particularly large number of eleventh rank Magical Beasts, even the Elders had been having some trouble handling them . Fortunately, Long Chen and Wilde had resolved that .
Seeing that Long Chen was capable of annihilating these powerful Magical Beasts with just a wave of his hand, the original devil race’s experts were stunned . Although they had long since heard of Long Chen, for many of them, it was their first time seeing him . This casual attack of his had won him their profound respect .
Although they were also in the Soul Transformation realm, Long Chen’s combat power could only be described as monstrous . He could kill such powerful existences without batting an eye as if it was an incredibly minor thing .
“Xiaoqian, why don’t you take Long Chen to the ancestral lands for a stroll?” Seeing that the current situation was handled, Yue Xihan turned to Yue Xiaoqian .
Yue Xiaoqian nodded, and then she suddenly blushed . Right in front of Yue Xihan she brazenly held Long Chen’s hand . The two of them left, leaving Yue Xihan with only a faint smile . She didn’t say anything .
The two of them progressed deeper into the Skysc.r.a.ping World . Long Chen hadn’t expected the Skysc.r.a.ping World to be so marvelous . It was like the Spirit World . However, a large part of it was now a barren wasteland .
Yue Xiaoqian explained that there had once been a terrible battle, a battle strong enough to influence the laws of this world . The vitality in those barren wastelands had been stripped away, and their situation had been extremely bleak, especially with the inability to get more resources from the Martial Heaven Continent .
“Originally, the Skysc.r.a.ping World was a sacred land . Based on the historical murals, it was filled with beautiful ancient forests and wonderful sights . Unfortunately, all of that was destroyed in battle . Battle really is the most frightening thing . No matter what you have, battle will mercilessly strip it from you . Your resources, your wealth, your inheritance, and even your life . That’s why I hate battle . ”
Yue Xiaoqian suddenly stopped . She held Long Chen, resting her head on his chest . For some reason, she began to cry .
“I’m afraid that one day, battle will also take you from me . I’m very afraid . ” Yue Xiaoqian tightly held on to Long Chen .
Long Chen immediately understood that she knew of his battles during these years . He had been constantly fighting, going through constant danger . She was afraid he would die .
Long Chen was extremely moved . Just this simple ‘I’m very afraid’ was superior to millions of oaths of eternal love .
In this chaotic world, nothing was eternal . No one knew if they would live to see the sun set the next day . No one knew the future . Battle was that cruel . A bright smile could die in an instant .
This was something everyone was helpless about . The majority of people were peaceful, but those who wanted peace were weaker, targets to be preyed on .
So when the weak asked for peace, it was a joke . If they really wanted peace, they had to get stronger so that they could protect everything they wanted to protect .
Long Chen also disliked battle, but he had to fight . He had to stand with his blade, becoming a demon king .
Long Chen held Yue Xiaoqian tightly and rubbed her cheek . He gave her a soft kiss on the forehead .
“Don’t be afraid . I promise, no one will be able to take me from you, not even a death G.o.d, not even the heavens . ”
Yue Xiaoqian trembled, her face growing even redder . She didn’t dare to look up at him, so she just held him tightly, listening to his powerful heartbeat . The sound made her feel safe . It was like with him present, even if the sky collapsed, he would hold it up for her .
After a while, Yue Xiaoqian finally raised her head . She had finished crying, but she still had some tears left on her face . Those tears were like pearls trickling down white jade .
“Xiaoqian, you’re beautiful . ”
Unable to control himself upon seeing this beautiful, charming face, Long Chen held Yue Xiaoqian as his fiery lips met her wet ones .
