The earth exploded, and violent shockwaves surged forth. The demon army was blasted away by the terrifying shockwave. Seeing this, the Hidden Dragon Legion shouted sharply:
"Wind Protection!"
This was the strongest defensive formation Long Chen had conjured for them with their own abilities. Once activated, all the wind power of the Hidden Dragon warriors gathered together, forming a wind barrier.
"Rumble..."
The terrifying shockwave crashed against the barrier, erupting with a deafening explosion. Countless demons were blasted away by the shockwave, and even emperor-level monsters couldn't withstand it.
"What's going on?"
Long Chen was also startled. How strange was this situation? He extended his divine sense forward and found an altar ahead, where he saw thousands of demons gathered together.
On the altar, an aged bone demon held a white bone staff. Before him stood a giant egg, its shell shattered, and inside stood a man with disheveled hair.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen immediately understood that the group of bone demons had opened the altar to awaken the man inside the giant egg. The man inside the egg carried the aura of a heavenly demon—a situation Long Chen had seen countless times in the Great Wilderness.
At that time, he led the Dragonblood Legion, mainly hunting these sealed Heavenly Demons. Now, for the first time, he saw a sealed Heavenly Demon Clan powerhouse awakened.
However, judging by the expression on the face of the Heavenly Demon Clan man and the other Bone Demon Clan experts gritting their teeth, it was clear that their awakening ritual had been disrupted.
Although the Demon Clan man was awakened, the method seemed off. His face was pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, indicating he was injured.
It turned out that all the emperor-level experts among this group of bone demons had participated in the ritual, requiring their power to be involved in order to better awaken that Heavenly Demon.
At the most critical moment, Long Chen and the others attacked. The Bone Demons, fearing disruption to the ritual, had to send people to stop them. However, the Hidden Dragon Legion was too strong and quickly closed in, forcing them to send even more powerful fighters.
Because the ritual had reached a critical moment and absolutely could not stop, they could only grit their teeth and continue. However, because too many people were mobilized, the energy inside the dome became unbalanced, and it exploded directly.
Their original intention was to awaken the Heavenly Demon Clan man, but instead, the cannon blast woke him up. The startled man was injured, and the Bone Demon Clan experts present saw this outcome and were so angry their eyes turned green.
"It seems we've got ourselves into trouble." Tang Wan'er also saw the devouring looks in the eyes of these bone demons and immediately understood they were about to turn bad.
"What are they doing?" Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask.
"They are awakening the demonic embryo, which seals the elites of the ancient Heavenly Demon Clan and is quite powerful.
When our Dragonblood Legion first entered the Great Wilderness, we encountered quite a few such altars. Following the principle of 'do good deeds without worrying about the future,' we helped them accept the offer. Long Chen said proudly.
"What is a pickup investment?" but the crowd did not receive him.
"It's about pulling them out of the stone embryo, then ..." Long Chen deliberately paused here.
"And then?" Everyone asked.
"Then send them to reincarnate." Long Chen said seriously.
At a time like this, Long Chen still had the mood to joke. Everyone's expressions turned strange, wanting to laugh but unable to.
"Damn humans, how dare you disturb the great Lord Tianmo? Have you thought about how you will endure his wrath?" At this moment, the elder of the Bone Demon Clan held a bone staff, gritting his teeth as he glared at Long Chen and the others.
Meanwhile, the Bone Demon Clan emperors surged like a tide, tightly surrounding the Hidden Dragon Legion. Among the hundreds of thousands of emperors, more than half were emperors with two or more veins. When had the Hidden Dragon Legion ever seen such a spectacle? If you say you're not afraid, that's definitely a lie.
However, the tension in their eyes was not fear, which made Long Chen very pleased. Nervousness can affect performance, but fear can lead to a collapse of willpower, making them afraid to even make a move and simply give up struggling.
At this moment, Long Chen and Tang Wan'er walked to the front of the group. Long Chen looked at the old man, then at the man with disheveled hair and gritted teeth, and said, "
Friend, these guys want to kill you. They've already betrayed the Demon Clan, and today they want to use your corpse as a token of loyalty."
Luckily, we arrived just in time, or you would have died long ago. Come on, let's join forces and take down these lowly Bone Demons! The
long-haired man, perhaps because he had just been awakened by the crash, his thoughts still unsettled. Upon hearing Long Chen's words, his gaze sharpened like a blade as he looked at the elder of the Bone Demon Clan.
As soon as Long Chen said this, the faces of the Bone Demon Clan's strong warriors changed dramatically. The old man shouted angrily, "Great Lord Heavenly Demon, our Bone Demon Clan is utterly loyal to the Heavenly Demon Clan and will never betray us. If you don't believe me, look at the demonic mark on our foreheads—it bears the seal of the Heavenly Demon Clan. How could we dare betray you?" When
he saw the demonic mark on the old man's forehead, the man turned to Long Chen, his voice hoarse and unpleasant
:
"Damn humans, despicable fools! Do you think your nonsense can fool the great Heavenly Demon clan?"
As soon as Long Chen saw the old man reveal the magic mark on his forehead, he knew his wish to see a dog-eat-dog fight was about to be dashed. He looked at the man and said,
"Enough, I'm too lazy to fool you. Let me introduce myself first. I'm the Demon Clan's envoy, responsible for your delivery and rebirth times."
However, I came late today due to some matters. This was a work oversight. I apologize here; I cannot control your birth time.
But to make up for your loss, I will send you to reincarnation on time. We are professionals in receiving and receiving reincarnation, ensuring you can complete your reincarnation safely, quickly, and painlessly in the simplest and most efficient way..."
"Courting death!"
At first, the man from the Heavenly Demon Clan didn't understand what Long Chen was saying. Later, he realized what Long Chen meant. With a furious shout, he shot at Long Chen like a bolt of lightning.
"Wait!"
Long Chen hurriedly made a pause gesture.
That man from the Heavenly Demon Clan also seemed to be a man of good manners. Seeing that Long Chen didn't take up a fighting stance, he actually stopped his movements. He stood a hundred zhang in front of Long Chen, his face sinister as he said, "
Do you have any last words to confide in?"
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. I'm trying to tell you, today's pickup and delivery isn't done by me, but by the fairy beside me—stunningly elegant and graceful." Long Chen stepped aside and reached out his hands toward Tang Wan'er.
Tang Wan'er, seeing this Heavenly Demon Clan powerhouse and feeling his overwhelming demonic energy, was already eager to try. Seeing Long Chen give up the battlefield to her, before the Heavenly Demon Clan expert could act, she charged out.
