Chapter 5312 Yin Yang Soul Calming Gra.s.s
Explosive sounds echoed across the sky as the void continuously collapsed. Long Chen shot through the chaos like a terrified rabbit, dodging attacks with everything he had.
“f.u.c.k, how come my luck is this bad?!” Long Chen cursed as he fled for his life.
Who could have imagined that he’d stumble upon a sacrificial ceremony? It was as if he had delivered himself as an offering, and countless Earth Devils were now chasing him.
Worst of all, Long Chen had just gone through an intense battle and was completely drained of his astral energy. Against these terrifying experts, even running seemed nearly impossible.
All of a sudden, a streak of divine light shot at Long Chen through the twisting s.p.a.ce. It was the attack of the nine-vein Emperor leading the Earth Devils. Compared to Chu He, who was also a nine-vein Emperor, this Earth Devil was several times more powerful. There was no way to compare the power of their attacks.
Long Chen didn’t dare to withstand the attack of a nine-vein Emperor head-on, so the Earth Cauldron flew out and struck the ray of divine light.
BOOM!
With an explosive sound, Long Chen was sent flying by the terrifying shockwaves, blood spraying from his mouth.
“Don’t be stingy! Hurry up and summon a puppet!” shouted the Earth Cauldron.
Even then, Long Chen was unwilling to use up one of the puppets. He wanted to rely on his own power to escape this predicament, but that was practically a fantasy.
With no other way out, Long Chen helplessly formed a series of hand seals, summoning another Silver Wing Heaven Devil. As soon as it appeared, it emitted a terrifying pressure that made all those Earth Devils jump in fright.
By now, the nine-vein Emperor had charged to the front. Long Chen commanded the Silver Wing Heaven Devil to attack, and its fist smashed into the nine-vein Emperor. In response, the nine-vein Emperor raised his staff and summoned a black barrier.
BOOM!
The Silver Wing Heaven Devil’s attack shattered the s.h.i.+eld and sent the nine-vein Emperor flying. The resulting qi waves knocked everyone back, including Long Chen. While the Silver Wing Heaven Devil collapsed after that one attack, it had broken the Earth Devils’ blockade.
Without delay, lightning wings spread on Long Chen’s back, and he shot out like a bolt of lightning.
The appearance of the Silver Wing Heaven Devil had shocked the Earth Devils. They recognized its origins, and their moment of hesitation allowed Long Chen to make his escape. Just like that, he left behind a group of devil creatures staring at the crumbling remains of the Silver Wing Heaven Devil.
Long Chen fled for six hours straight, using multiple transportation talismans along the way. Only then did he stop to take a breath, covered in sweat. It had been really dangerous just now. Without the Silver Wing Heaven Devil, he might not have made it.
After taking several deep breaths, Long Chen sensed his surroundings. He didn’t notice any danger, so he consumed a medicinal pill and prepared to start recovering his energy. But all of a sudden, his expression changed. He directly jumped onto a tree and hid his aura.
Dozens of figures flew over the crown of that tree. To Long Chen’s surprise, all of them were very young but gave off intense Doyen fluctuations. Although they were newly promoted Heaven Saints, their auras were extremely powerful.
“Faster! We must form the barricade first, or that s.l.u.t will run off!” shouted one of them urgently.
Once those people pa.s.sed by, Long Chen tilted his head in curiosity. Hm? What’s going on? Should I take a look?
Curious, Long Chen concealed his presence and followed them. As he tailed the group, more and more people joined, forming a large encirclement that was gradually tightening.
Sensing their auras, Long Chen was taken aback once again. All of them possessed extremely condensed auras—at least twice as strong as other experts in the same realm.
“Is this due to the environment here?” wondered Long Chen.
The spiritual qi in this region was rich, but the natural laws were chaotic, with a wild devil qi lingering in the air. This was not an ideal place for humans to cultivate.
In Tianyu City, Long Chen had found that the cultivators there were stronger than those from outside the Endless Desolation. But these experts were even more formidable than those from Tianyu City. Clearly, the environment offered them a significant advantage.
While these people were strong, Long Chen still didn’t view them as a challenge. After all, they were only Heaven Saints and had not awakened their heaven vein dragon qi yet. Even with his astral energy exhausted, they still couldn’t threaten him.
As Long Chen continued to follow them, the encirclement gradually shrank. After several hours, he saw a woman in azure robes surrounded by the group. The entire mountain valley was now a death trap for her.
The woman wielded a sword that rippled with power. Her sharp gaze swept over the surrounding experts, unflinching and resolute. She clearly wasn’t weak.
“She should be a wind element cultivator,” Long Chen noted in surprise.
Her wind energy was perfectly concentrated onto her sword, showing that her control over her wind energy had reached a high realm.
Theoretically, wind energy was difficult to control due to its wild and free nature, making cultivators like her as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns.
Because Long Chen was close with a master of wind energy—Tang Wan-er, he had a deep understanding of wind energy. Since that was the case, he could tell that while the woman’s aura wasn’t overwhelming, her control made her far more dangerous than she appeared.
“d.a.m.n you. Who gave you the courage to steal my w.a.n.g family’s treasures and kill my people?” A fierce-looking man with a wolf fang club on his back shouted, glaring at the woman gloomily. His gaze was as sharp and ominous as a bloodthirsty beast.
The azure-robed woman stood tall despite being surrounded, her voice cold as she retorted, “Slandering me won’t change the truth. The Yin Yang Soul Calming Gra.s.s was discovered by me. I was plucking it when your people attacked me, and that’s the only reason I killed them.”
“Yin Yang Soul Calming Gra.s.s?”
Long Chen was intrigued. Yin Yang Soul Calming Gra.s.s was considered a Saint medicinal ingredient, valuable but not worth provoking such a confrontation. At the very least, it wasn’t precious enough to cause Heaven Saints to lose their minds and attack someone for it.
“What nonsense. That Yin Yang Soul Calming Gra.s.s is a priceless treasure my w.a.n.g family has guarded for thousands of years. Hurry up and hand it over. If you come with us willingly, we’ll let you live,” the man with the wolf fang club threatened.
“You... you’re absolutely shameless!” the azure-robed woman shouted, trembling with rage. It was clear that this group of bandits was planning to rob her.
“Since you refuse to accept our kindness, don’t blame us for not being courteous!”
With a snort, that man grabbed his wolf tooth club and slammed it on the ground, sending tremors through the mountain range. His killing intent locked onto the woman.
