"The Divine Clan has arrived." Dragonbone Xie Yue suddenly spoke.
"Even in a state of Heaven's Wrath, you can still manage the battlefield. How did you do that?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"You think I'm just like you? This was already the second time I had entered the Heavenly Fury state, so naturally I developed some resistance. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
In fact, Dragon Bone Evil Moon hadn't told Long Chen that it was because the Dark Evil Dragon clan had their own unique cultivation methods.
This Heavenly Fury state was somewhat similar to a certain divine ability of the dragon clan. The first time, it deliberately went berserk, partly to test Long Chen's reaction and also to test the strength of the Heavenly Fury state.
After the first outburst, controlling the second time becomes easier. Gradually, they get used to that kind of anger, making it much easier to control.
But there are both advantages and disadvantages. Because of reason, entering the Heavenly Wrath state in the future will be harder each time.
Long Chen couldn't control his anger, which was easy to lose control. The advantage was that there was no limit to the number of times—he could activate the Heavenly Fury state whenever he wanted.
"They're here to sell themselves. On the surface, they're helping me, but in reality, they're here to take advantage of me. Or maybe they're here to give me a hard time. Let's go, I can't be bothered to watch their performance."
Long Chen snorted coldly, stopped wasting time here, collected the corpses on the ground, and immediately left the depths.
Because the Dragonbone Evil Moon entered a state of Heavenly Wrath, it was invincible. Demon King-level experts were slain one after another, and the beast clan finally couldn't hold out any longer. They ordered the Demon King-level warriors to retreat behind the Imperial Seal.
The Imperial Seal allowed twelfth-tier demon kings and weaker thirteenth-tier beasts to come and go, but kept terrifying thirteenth-tier beasts inside.
Seeing that the Demon King couldn't do anything to Long Chen, their numbers were drastically decreasing, yet they couldn't do anything to Long Chen. Instead, they used ordinary beasts to wear down Long Chen's stamina, intending to strike another fatal blow when Long Chen was exhausted.
Long Chen didn't dare to charge into the Imperial Seal, and the ordinary beasts around him were just wasting time and energy, pointless.
As soon as Long Chen left, Feng Fei, Long Aotian, Ye Liangchen, and Jiang Wuchen each led millions of disciples to encircle from both sides of the Imperial Seal, cutting off the retreat routes of the demon beasts.
But by the time they arrived, Long Chen had already left, leaving only a trail of blood on the ground.
"That bastard, I wanted to challenge him, but he ran away instead." Ye Liangchen gritted his teeth. Even if he couldn't fight Long Chen fiercely, at least he could compete in killing demon beasts.
Unfortunately, Long Chen had already left, giving them no chance to perform, which made Ye Liangchen's face turn ashen with anger.
With the four Emperor Miao-level powerhouses appearing simultaneously, those demon kings who had retreated into the Imperial Seal dared not come out even more, only able to watch helplessly as the beasts were isolated and slaughtered bit by bit, yet dared not go out to help.
Feng Fei, Long Aotian, Ye Liangchen, and Jiang Wuchen struck simultaneously. With a wave of their hand, the sky and earth shattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the demon beasts fell in droves. The beast clan was utterly shocked. It was the first time they saw the divine race's formidable side, and they were completely intimidated.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to watch their performance. He sped all the way, and on the way back, he happened to encounter Huo Ling'er and the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion, who were still slaughtering wildly.
Seeing Long Chen return unharmed, Shen Chengfeng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. After returning, Long Chen led everyone to withdraw from the battlefield, because at this time, more and more Divine Clan experts were flooding the battlefield to launch a full-scale siege. Long Chen no longer wanted to compete with them for these small fry.
"Come on, divide the loot. The corpse is mine, and the inner core crystal cores are yours." After returning to the position, Long Chen spoke directly.
"Long Chen, isn't this a bit much? This harvest is ...," Shen Chengfeng immediately hesitated. Normally, he would have accepted it; he wasn't a fussy person.
But this time, the haul was simply terrifying—everyone's spatial rings were stuffed full, and spatial rings were originally meant to avoid suspicion.
Because storing a spatial ring makes handover easier and there is no case of embezzlement. So although everyone has a Star Space, when cleaning the battlefield, a spatial ring must be used. This is the rule and avoids suspicion of being overly inappropriate, because the spatial fluctuations of storing items in the spatial ring and storing them in the Star Space are completely different and very noticeable.
But this time, the battlefield was too large. Huo Ling'er had killed too many demon beasts, and there weren't enough spatial rings. In the end, they had no choice but to use the Star Space to collect the corpses.
However, collecting corpses using the Star Space is somewhat ambiguous, because each person collects how much they collect is impossible to count or check. Forcibly checking someone else's Star Space is an extreme humiliation and a taboo for cultivators.
In this way, how much everyone hands over will depend on their own self-discipline. Shen Chengfeng already felt a bit guilty toward Long Chen over this, but now that Long Chen said he only wanted the least valuable corpse, he found it even harder to accept. After all, the most valuable crystal cores and inner cores were piled up like mountains—wealth they could never imagine in their lifetime.
"Stop dawdling. If you're a brother, just be quick. The corpse is useful to me." Long Chen said impatiently.
Shen Chengfeng was helpless and gave a look to the deputy commanders, who immediately understood and gave the order. Soon, the Heavenly Dragon warriors began to get busy, dumping out the corpses on the spot and separating the inner elixir crystal cores from the corpses right in front of Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled slightly. Shen Chengfeng really was steady in his actions. He wanted him to see how many crystal cores and inner elixirs there were before making a decision.
It must be said, Huo Ling'er was incredibly capable; the number of demon beasts she had killed was simply too many to count.
And the Tianlong Legion soldiers were truly flawless. The battlefield was kept spotless, truly worthy of their hardships. They even reclaimed the scorched limbs and broken legs, and even the chunks of flesh about a foot square.
There was too much corpse flesh and blood. Long Chen collected them in piles and threw them into the black soil of the chaotic space, quickly decomposing them into endless life energy that nourished the Tianlin Demon Tree and allowed it to grow again.
In the end, the speed at which the black soil decomposed couldn't keep up with Long Chen's collapse. The corpses of those demon beasts were enormous, often hundreds of miles in size, and especially after shattering, their volume grew even larger.
After working for several hours, Long Chen's black soil was piled up with a mountain of corpses spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.
The Tianlin Demon Tree was growing wildly, but it would probably take some time for Black Earth to fully decompose these corpses.
The corpses were collected by Long Chen. Shen Chengfeng counted the crystal cores and inner cores—over three billion had been collected. They had never seen so many crystal cores and inner cores before. You have to know, most of the cores here were from twelfth-tier demon beasts, and there were even thirteenth-tier ones, all treasures that could be exchanged for massive points.
"The loot is divided. As for the rest, how you divide it is your business. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first." After saying that, Long Chen didn't give Shen Chengfeng a chance to speak. In a flash, the figure had already left.
Shen Chengfeng and the others stared blankly at the mountain of crystal cores and inner elixirs. A deputy commander sighed, "
We owe Long Chen far too much. I'm afraid we'll never be able to repay it in this lifetime."
The Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion was originally the lowest-ranking legion within the Heavenly Dragon Legion, but its fate changed after meeting Long Chen.
Among the eight major Heavenly Dragon Legions, their overall combat strength easily made it into the top three, because the ranking competition hadn't started yet, and they even felt they had a chance to compete for first place.
Now, Long Chen has given them another fortune—a fortune that countless people envy. How could anyone not admire this move wholeheartedly?
"Whoo"
Suddenly, Shen Chengfeng's expression changed. He reached out and put away the crystal core inner core. Just as he put it away, Feng Fei, Long Aotian, Ye Liangchen, and Jiang Wuchen arrived with an army of ten million.
"What did you just put away? Why are you sneaking around? Jiang Wuchen shouted coldly.
Jiang Wuchen and the others formed a siege formation, slaughtering wildly all the way to completely intimidate the beast clan. The four imperial seedlings struck together, like wildly rolling fallen leaves, leading millions of troops to sweep the entire battlefield.
While checking for any missing fish, he spotted the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion from afar and rushed over, only to see Shen Chengfeng putting something away.
Jiang Wuchen suddenly became annoyed, feeling as if Shen Chengfeng was hiding something behind their backs, so he demanded a question.
"Reporting to Lord Wuchen, we were just counting the spoils, but you just arrived and moved too fast. I didn't mean to guard against you all." Shen Chengfeng replied.
"Loot? You still have loot? Jiang Wuchen looked at Shen Chengfeng suspiciously and snorted coldly, looking down on him as if interrogating a criminal.
Shen Chengfeng's expression changed. Jiang Wuchen had been displeased with the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion for a long time. Not only Jiang Wuchen, but even Ye Liangchen was displeased with them. The reason was that back in the Star Domain Divine Realm, the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion disobeyed orders.
Shen Chengfeng took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and tried to stay calm:
"We don't have the right to claim the spoils, but Long Chen came to support us. He slew some demon beasts and gave us things he didn't care about."
Ye Liangchen, standing nearby, immediately retorted, "That's not trophies, it's charity goods. When did our Divine Clan ever need to beg from others? You've truly disgraced the Divine Clan..."
Shen Chengfeng and the others were instantly furious. These two were too much. Shen Chengfeng wanted to curse him: If you have the guts, go find the Dragon Dust Envoy? Why take it out on us? But in the end, he held back, after all, he was a member of the Divine Clan.
"That's not right. Now that our Divine Clan is cooperating with Long Chen, since it's cooperation, it's about sharing risks and benefits. Brother Liangchen, that's a bit much.
Commander Shen, there's nothing for you to do here. You should head back now. You've worked hard this time. The uprising came so suddenly that it caught us off guard. When we get back, I'll arrange for you to resupply your manpower." Long Aotian spoke up, helping Shen Chengfeng out of a predicament, since the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion belonged to his Long family.
Shen Chengfeng hurriedly saluted Long Aotian before leaving with the Tianlong Legion soldiers. Feng Fei, Long Aotian, Ye Liangchen, and Jiang Wuchen also led the army away.
Long Chen returned to the Divine Clan without any delay, heading straight back to the Tianwu Continent. Upon entering, he clearly sensed that the aura there was growing darker, the aura from other worlds invading more and more, and gradually beginning to assimilate the continent.
Long Chen first returned to the Wine God Palace and told the High Priest the results of the negotiations with the Divine Clan. The High Priest just smiled and nodded, then suddenly said, "
Didn't you discuss the matter of the First Demon Clan?"
"This ..." Long Chen was instantly speechless, staring at the High Priest in shock. https:
