Chapter 5266 Break Through to the Saint Realm
“Hahaha, you asked for it!” shouted the Heaven Devil.
When the Heaven Devil was unsealed, the might of a half-step Emperor erupted. He instantly went berserk and attacked Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+.
Luckily, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was prepared and summoned her manifestation once more. Her golden s.h.i.+eld increased in thickness and size until it formed an unbreakable wall.
BOOM!
As the Heaven Devil collided with the s.h.i.+eld, his claws raked against it, emitting ear-piercing sounds. Deep claw marks appeared on the s.h.i.+eld. With its seal undone, the Heaven Devil unleashed his wild attacks without restraint.
After blocking the Heaven Devil’s a.s.sault, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ counterattacked with her sword. As quick as lightning, her sword aimed for his neck. But just as she was about to strike, her instincts warned her, and she pivoted, swinging her sword behind her.
When Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ blocked the Heaven Devil’s frontal a.s.sault, his tail actually swept through the air, bypa.s.sing the s.h.i.+eld and aiming for her back.
Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s sword met his tail with a loud crack
, and the impact sent her tumbling back.
Now freed from the seal, the Heaven Devil fought with the same terrifying ferocity he had shown against Long Chen. His attack speed was overwhelming, forcing everyone watching to tense up. Even Long Chen gripped Evilmoon, ready to intervene if necessary.
Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was so strong that a sealed Heaven Devil wasn’t much of a challenge to her. If she wanted to push her limits and improve, she had to face the full brunt of the Heaven Devil’s power.
Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s talent was truly amazing, but what she lacked was life-and-death combat experience. This Heaven Devil, with his unpredictable ferocity, was the perfect opponent for her to grow stronger.
With her golden s.h.i.+eld in her left hand and a golden sword in her right, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ wrapped herself in golden armor and launched a counterattack. However, the Heaven Devil’s relentless a.s.sault pushed her back at every turn.
At first, the Heaven Devil’s rapid and varied attacks kept Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ on the defensive, making everyone anxious. But slowly, she adapted to his high-tempo combat style and began to fight back.
Upon seeing that, everyone relaxed slightly. Through their observation, they realized that surviving the onslaught of attacks from the Heaven Devil was the most difficult part. Once you got used to them though, the threat he posed diminished significantly.
Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s metal energy was suitable in offense and defense, so now that she had grasped this rhythm, the scales of victory slowly tilted her way.
An hour later, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ had fully turned the tide of the battle. The Heaven Devil’s once-shocking strength began to wane.
Her attacks grew ferocious, and she unleashed various movement arts, catching the Heaven Devil off-guard and forcing him into a defensive state.
The Heaven Devil cursed furiously, “You despicable humans, if you have the guts, wait for me to fully recover and then fight me!”
In response, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ attacked even more ferociously, and her sword finally struck the Heaven Devil, causing his aura to plummet.
With the fight over, Long Chen stepped forward, knocking the Heaven Devil unconscious with a kick before feeding him a medicinal pill to restore his strength. The seal was reactivated, and now it was Guo Ran’s turn to fight him.
Xia Chen controlled the seal to ensure the Heaven Devil’s strength matched each challenger’s, allowing them to gain the most from their sparring sessions.
This process continued day and night, with the Heaven Devil race’s heavenly genius serving as everyone’s sparring partner. After the captains had their fill, it was the squad leaders’ turn, followed by the ordinary Dragonblood warriors.
After fighting non-stop, the Heaven Devil was growing weaker. However, his mouth remained tough, which was worth their admiration. Even after being beaten so many times, this fellow continued to hurl insults and curses at his tormentors.
The Dragonblood warriors, in turn, punished him for his vulgarity, finding him still to be an excellent sparring partner even in his weakened state.
Once the Dragonblood Legion had finished, the dragon race disciples took their turns. However, they quickly found that they couldn’t match the Heaven Devil’s combat experience.
Long Wuyang was the first to step forward and was almost instantly killed by the Heaven Devil’s first attack. The Dragonblood warriors had to interfere to save his life.
Although the dragon race disciples had observed the Dragonblood warriors and memorized their tactics, they quickly realized that knowing and executing were two different things. Their movements were messy, and their counters were unusable in the heat of battle.
Seeing that the dragon disciples were unable to challenge the Heaven Devil one-on-one, they were grouped into teams of ten to challenge him together. By now, the Heaven Devil’s devil qi had thinned, his skin had lost its l.u.s.ter, and even his sharp bone spikes had dulled. He seemed like he had aged to the point of having one foot in the grave.
Still, even in his weakened state, the Heaven Devil managed to fight every elite disciple of the Dragon Domain before his lifeforce finally ran out. He had fought for a full month, day and night. His tenacity and lifeforce were impressive, to say the least.
After he died, his body no longer had any valuable energy left, so Long Chen discarded it in the depths of the mountains.
Despite his death, the Heaven Devil had been a valuable training tool for everyone. Even Long Chen felt his aura stabilize after the battles.
“Everyone should go into seclusion and advance to the Saint realm as quickly as possible!” ordered Long Chen.
Everyone nodded, preparing to focus on advancing. The leaders of the Dragon Domain stood guard as Long Chen entered his own seclusion chamber. In front of him lay a pile of Nirvanic Charge Pills.
“It’s time to start!”
Long Chen grabbed a handful of Nirvanic Charge Pills and stuffed them into his mouth, ready to push toward his next breakthrough.
