Chapter 5352 Move On42bnovelsGo

The ground erupted, sending shockwaves through the air as violent qi waves surged outward, blasting the devil army away. Seeing the oncoming force, the Hidden Dragon Legion reacted instantly. 42bnovelsGo

“Wind defense!” they shouted in unison. 42bnovelsGo

They executed the strongest defensive technique Long Chen had taught them, condensing all their wind energy into a powerful barrier. The violent qi waves hammered against it, causing the barrier to tremble and groan under the pressure. Even Emperor-level devil creatures were thrown back by the force of the waves. 42bnovelsGo

“What is going on?” Long Chen muttered, surprised by the sudden explosion of energy. 42bnovelsGo

His divine sense extended outward, and he soon spotted an altar surrounded by thousands of devil creatures. 42bnovelsGo

At the center of the altar, an elderly bone devil waved a bone staff over a broken egg. Standing within the remains of the egg was a man with disheveled hair, his expression furious. Long Chen immediately understood what had happened. It seemed that they had activated the altar to awaken the man in the egg, who was exuding the familiar aura of a Heaven Devil. Long Chen had seen it countless times in the Endless Desolation. 42bnovelsGo

Back then, the Dragonblood Legion had specifically hunted the sealed Heaven Devils, but this was the first time Long Chen had witnessed one being awakened like this. Judging by the angry man’s pale face and the blood dripping from his mouth, the awakening process had gone wrong. His growth had been interrupted, and though he was now awake, it wasn’t the proper time. 42bnovelsGo

All the Emperors of the bone devil race present were supposed to participate in this ceremony. They needed to give everything they had to awaken him properly. 42bnovelsGo

However, the arrival of Long Chen and the Hidden Dragon Legion disrupted the process. The bone devils had sent many of their warriors to stop the intruders, but the Hidden Dragon Legion was too strong and quickly broke through, forcing the bone devils to dispatch even more experts against them. 42bnovelsGo

As the ceremony had reached a critical juncture, they could not stop midway. Gritting their teeth, they could only keep going. However, because of the absence of so many Emperors, the energy in the egg had gone out of balance, causing the awakening to fail and the egg to explode. 42bnovelsGo

What should have been a controlled awakening now resembled a chaotic detonation. The surrounding bone devils glared at Long Chen and his companions with venomous hatred. 42bnovelsGo

“It seems like we’ve stirred up quite a problem,” said Tang Wan-er, taking note of their reactions. 42bnovelsGo

“What are they doing?” asked Xiao Yue. 42bnovelsGo

“They tried to awaken a Heaven Devil fetus,” Long Chen explained. “The Heaven Devil race sealed their geniuses inside these fetuses to preserve their power. The Dragonblood Legion encountered several of them in the Endless Desolation, and we... helped them ‘move on’ out of the goodness of our hearts,” Long Chen replied solemnly. 42bnovelsGo

“Move on?” Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by that?” 42bnovelsGo

“We freed them from their eggs, and then...” Long Chen replied, pausing for dramatic effect. 42bnovelsGo

“And then?” 42bnovelsGo

“And then we guided them on the path to reincarnation,” he finished with a smirk. 42bnovelsGo

Despite the tension in the air, Long Chen’s companions couldn’t help but give him odd looks. It wasn’t exactly the time for jokes, yet Long Chen always found a way to lighten the mood. 42bnovelsGo

“Damn humans!” roared the elder of the bone devil race, pointing his staff at Long Chen. “How dare you interfere with the great Heaven Devil race?! Have you considered the consequences of your actions?!” 42bnovelsGo

The bone devils immediately charged toward Long Chen and the others, surrounding the Hidden Dragon Legion. Hundreds of thousands of Emperor-level devils closed in, more than half of them two-vein Emperors. The Hidden Dragon Legion had never seen such a terrifying lineup before. To say that they were unafraid would definitely be a lie. 42bnovelsGo

Although their eyes showed signs of unease, there was no fear, and Long Chen was pleased by their resolve. Nervousness would affect their display, but fear? Fear might cause their wills to collapse and make them unable to even fight back. 42bnovelsGo

Long Chen and Tang Wan-er stepped forward to face the elder and the Heaven Devil. Long Chen's eyes flicked between the furious Heaven Devil and the elder. 42bnovelsGo

“Friend, these bone devils were planning to kill you. They’ve betrayed the Heaven Devil race and were using your corpse as an offering. Lucky for you, we arrived just in time to save you. How about we join forces and wipe out these traitors?” Long Chen suggested, feigning sincerity. 42bnovelsGo

Perhaps because the Heaven Devil had just been awoken, his mind was still muddled. As a result, he turned toward the elder of the bone devil race menacingly. 42bnovelsGo

The bone devils’ expressions changed, and the elder roared, “Great Heaven Devil, we have always been loyal to the Heaven Devil race! We would never betray you! If you don’t believe us, just look at the devil rune on our heads! The Heaven Devil’s seal is right there! How could we dare to betray you?!” 42bnovelsGo

Seeing the devil rune on the elder’s forehead, the Heaven Devil turned back to Long Chen, who shrugged. Long Chen knew that his little plan to see dogs eat dogs was a failure. 42bnovelsGo

With a raspy voice like grating iron, the Heaven Devil spat out, “Damn human, you’re as despicable and foolish as ever. Did you think your lies could trick the great Heaven Devil race?” 42bnovelsGo

“Alright, I can’t be bothered anymore,” Long Chen said casually. “Let me introduce myself properly. I’m the great guide of the devil race, responsible for helping ugly souls like you move on. Today, however, I’m a bit busy and missed the timing of your birth. To make up for it, I’ll personally guarantee a swift and painless journey to your next life. We’re professionals in this line of work, you know.” 42bnovelsGo

“Courting death!” the Heaven Devil roared, finally understanding Long Chen’s mockery, and lunged toward him. 42bnovelsGo

“Hold it!” Long Chen raised his hand. 42bnovelsGo

The Heaven Devil surprisingly paused obediently, though still seething with rage. Standing a mere three hundred meters from Long Chen, he asked. “Do you have any final words?” 42bnovelsGo

“No, you misunderstand,” Long Chen replied smoothly. “I’m not handling this today. The one sending you off will be the peerless beauty standing right beside me.” 42bnovelsGo

Tang Wan-er had been itching to test her strength against this Heaven Devil from the moment she saw him. Seeing that Long Chen left this battle to her, she immediately stepped forward. Without hesitation, she launched her attack.42bnovelsGo
