Chapter 5116 Heaven-Shaking Secret
“The violet blood race has been very active lately. We’re not sure what triggered it, but their numbers have surged, and several individuals with terrifying potential have emerged. It seems they’ve been biding their time for this opportunity. We’ve started consolidating our forces to suppress them,” the elder said.
Their numbers have multiplied? Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Did this refer to his grandfather and the others?
Back then, Luo Zichuan had left the Luo family to open a channel to them. Long Chen had also helped him open that channel before parting ways.
Previously, Luo Zichuan had left the Luo family to open a channel in the violet blood race’s prison realm, and Long Chen had helped him open it before they parted ways. Afterward, the entire Luo family mysteriously disappeared without a trace, leading Long Chen to suspect that Luo Zichuan had brought them away.
However, the Luo family was only one tiny branch of the violet blood race, so Long Chen couldn’t be sure that their increase in numbers was because of the Luo family.
Nonetheless, the news was exciting. It was the best news for Long Chen.
“When did this happen?” asked Lu Fan, his expression darkening.
“Over half a year ago? I’m not sure of the exact timing. It’s not easy getting information from that side,” replied the elder.
“Why didn’t you report it to us sooner?!” raged Lu Fan.
The elder was momentarily taken aback but didn’t immediately respond. Instead, a touch of killing intent flickered in his eyes, revealing his fraying patience.
The elder coldly said, “Brat, remember that this is a collaboration. We aren’t your slaves. I’ve given you face, so you better give me face. You aren’t the valley master or Lord Brahma. Watch your tone, or I might slap you.”
“You!” Lu Fan was enraged. But facing a six-vein Heaven Saint, even as a son of Brahma, he knew he couldn’t push too far.
If Lu Fan pushed them too far, the consequences would be dire. Although he didn’t believe these devil creatures would dare to kill him, he knew he couldn’t defeat them in a fight.
Suppressing his anger, Lu Fan spat out, “What about the other races? Has there been any movement?”
The elder lightly said, “The sovereign dragon race has been pushed to the brink after so many years. If it weren’t for a group of stubborn dragons protecting them, they would have long since collapsed. As for the Jiuli race, they are resilient. We are in constant battle with them but have yet to make any significant progress. The Heavenly Eye, Shadow, Blood Barbarian, Ethereal Wind, Effulgent Ice, and the other races are still holding on, though they can only defend. We can’t tell what’s going on with them. The other original races of the nine heavens are also on the brink of collapse. With each pa.s.sing moment, another one of their races is wiped out. Everything is under control.”
Long Chen’s heart clenched. He had just uncovered a heaven-shaking secret. The Heavenly Eye, Shadow, Blood Barbarian, Ethereal Wind, and Effulgent Ice races were all famous in the primal chaos era. Each of them had once illuminated the world with their glory.
Any of these races had enough history that a person could spend a lifetime reading about them without finis.h.i.+ng. Long Chen had thought that most of them had gone extinct, but unexpectedly, they still existed.
When Long Chen heard about the sovereign dragon race, his dragon blood rapidly circulated. This referred to the dragon race’s Sovereign clan. In the outside world, they were called the sovereign dragon race.
“That’s right, we’ve noticed the Lifehunter race in the depths of the Endless Desolation. We’ve even clashed with them, and they’ve killed quite a few of our people. Are they connected to you?” asked the elder suddenly.
The Lifehunter race? Long Chen instantly recalled how they had mentioned finding tracks of the violet blood race and were preparing to launch a large-scale a.s.sault on them.
It seemed that the Lifehunter race wasn’t just bragging. They had indeed reached the depths of the Endless Desolation, displaying their skill.
Lu Fan snorted, “Those idiots refuse to obey us. We’ve warned them not to enter the Endless Desolation multiple times, but they still snuck their way in. They’re after the violet blood race. Ignore them. Let them test out the violet blood race’s true power.”
The Lifehunter race had set up their own organization called the Heavenly Province. They loudly proclaimed their desire for revenge against the violet blood race and were extremely arrogant. However, they had the power to back up that arrogance.
“That’s right, over a month ago, a human expert barged into the Endless Desolation and killed over thirty of our three-vein Heaven Saints. When we sent the Earth Devils’ twelve emissaries to hunt him down, he mysteriously vanished. Do you know this person’s background?”
The elder waved his hand, and a figure appeared in the air. It was extremely blurry, showing only the back. This figure emitted a seven-colored divine radiance, exuding an immense sense of danger.
“Dad!” Long Chen almost cried out when he saw that. He instantly recognized the figure as his father, Long Zhantian. His father had actually barged into the Endless Desolation.
“Seven-color Supreme Blood? That’s a mark of the Jiuli race’s bloodline. I don’t know who it is exactly, but I will report it to the valley master,” said Lu Fan. “Speaking of which, other than information on the Endless Desolation’s side, I came to ask you about these two people. We want them captured or killed. Have you seen them?”
Lu Fan took out two portraits with Long Chen and Mo Nian’s images drawn on them. When the elder saw them, he was startled and was about to say something.
Buzz.
Just then, the devil fetus shook. As the Earth Cauldron had sucked the Grandmist primal elixir dry, the Devil Spirit quivered, and its violet scales suddenly turned black.
“The poison is working!” Long Chen exclaimed. No longer having time to see what Lu Fan was saying to the elder, he charged at the Devil Spirit.
The Devil Spirit was shaking. Its eyes suddenly flew open, revealing violet pupils with a net of black lines in them.
Seeing it, Long Chen was overjoyed. If even its pupils were showing marks of poison, then the poison had truly penetrated deeply.
The Devil Spirit suddenly roared. Long Chen was about to summon the Dragon Blood Battle Armor, but this one roar caused his vision to turn black. Blood sprayed from his mouth, and he shot back.
Long Chen was shocked. The Devil Spirit was badly poisoned and didn’t have even a tenth of its original power. However, its roar almost ripped Long Chen apart.
Following that roar, its broken insides spilled out, transforming into black liquid before they even landed. A disgusting stench immediately filled the air, causing a wave of dizziness to strike Long Chen.
Long Chen hastily consumed an ant.i.toxin pill. The Devil Spirit roared angrily again, losing its mind and crazily swinging its arms.
Having waited for this chance, Long Chen slammed the Demon Moon Cauldron on the Devil Spirit’s head in between its wild flailing. After that, an explosive sound rang out. Long Chen’s arms shuddered, and the webbing between his thumb and forefinger broke. The Demon Moon Cauldron went flying, but the Devil Spirit’s skin didn’t even break.
Long Chen was taken aback by the Devil Spirit’s terrifying physical body. Just as he was about to forcibly wake up Dragonbone Evilmoon, the aura of the Devil Spirit’s soul vanished. The last smash of the Demon Moon Cauldron broke its final defensive power, causing the poison to enter its head and extinguish its soul.
With the death of the Devil Spirit, the entire altar lost its light. After that, Long Chen formed a series of hand seals.
“Get in here!” exclaimed Long Chen.
The giant altar, along with the devil fetus and the Devil Spirit’s corpse, were all sucked into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce.
BOOM!
Long Chen had just done this when the stone coffin was blown open by someone. He turned to see Lu Fan and the Earth Devils.
“h.e.l.lo, how are you?” Long Chen waved at them with a mocking smile.
