Chapter 5100 The Golden Lotus Seed’s Change

“Dragon Roars at the Nine Heavens!”

Long Chen’s roar transformed into crashing thunder. A mighty, sacred sound wave erupted, smashing into the devil creatures. On contact, they instantly turned to dust.

With a single roar, millions of devil creatures were slain. As far as the eye could see, the devil creatures had disintegrated, leaving a thick layer of dust on the ground.

“As expected, the purer the aura of the devil creatures, the more sacred energy restrains them,” muttered Long Chen as he stared at the dust.

These devil creatures were much stronger than those he and the Dragonblood Legion had faced when reclaiming the academy. Their devil qi was denser and purer.

Back then, Long Chen had sensed that the devil creatures feared sacred energy, but his sacred energy had yet to fully awaken. Now, after his dragon blood had undergone the Long clan divine pool’s baptism and the Jiuli Tower’s condensation, his sacred energy was fully awakened. As a result, a single roar of his could annihilate the devil creatures.

“It seems the devil creatures won’t pose much of a threat to the white dragon race.” Long Chen realized, no longer worried about Bai Yingxue and the others.

If the sacred energy restrained the devil creatures, they should be running as far as they could when they saw the white dragon experts.

“Oh?”

Long Chen suddenly noticed something in the dust. With a swift motion, he pulled a devil creature out of the debris.

“A half-step Heavenly Chosen,” Long Chen noted, observing the devil creature. It was much stronger than the others; while the rest had perished, this one was still barely clinging to life.

Long Chen stabbed its head with his finger. After quivering a bit, the creature died.

“Its head was a complete mess. The few glimpses I could get were too indistinct,” muttered Long Chen after the soulsearch. Despite its strength, the devil creature’s consciousness was faint and fragmented, offering no useful information.

“This devil creature was powerful, but its intelligence was extremely low,” Long Chen reflected. “No wonder the large factions of the Sovereign Emperor Heaven were so badly suppressed. These creatures’ lack of intelligence made them fearless and utterly instinctive. Who wouldn’t fear such suicidal devil creatures?”

“Oh? There’s more.”

Lightning wings spread on Long Chen’s back, and he transformed into a streak of light shooting into the distance. In a bit, he saw another army of devil creatures chasing a group of demonic beast experts.

Long Chen watched as the devil creatures swiftly devoured a group of a few hundred demonic beast experts. Before he could identify their race, the devil creatures had consumed them, fighting over the corpses and devouring the bloodstained earth.

Everything happened so quickly that Long Chen didn’t even have a chance to intervene. After the devil creatures consumed the flesh of the demonic beasts, their eyes grew brighter. Long Chen could clearly sense their auras undergoing a transformation.

Amongst the devil creatures, one in particular stood out. It had two heads and had devoured the most corpses, but it still wanted more.

While the other devil creatures fought over the bloodstains on the ground, that two-headed devil creature sensed Long Chen’s presence from a distance.

“Human!”

To Long Chen’s surprise, the devil creature actually spoke and shot at him. It was incredibly fast, leaving behind countless afterimages in the air. When it was just a few meters away from Long Chen, it spread its limbs. Its six bone blades sliced through the air as it started to spin like a top. It charged over just like that, wanting to turn Long Chen into mincemeat.

BOOM!

After a brief collision, Long Chen and the devil creature shot past each other. While the devil creature’s body continued to spin into the distance, Long Chen now held a large head.

All of a sudden, Long Chen noticed the golden lotus seed in the primal chaos space flicker ever so lightly.

It was such a small reaction that Long Chen didn’t know if he had just been seeing things, but it now looked brighter than before.

Could it be...?

Long Chen suddenly had a thought. It seemed that killing these devil creatures could fill the mysterious golden lotus seed with energy.

The mysterious lotus seed had been given to Long Chen by Aunt Gong, another enigmatic figure who had helped him fight Yan Xu. It was thanks to the seed that he had managed to protect Yu Qingxuan. However, Long Chen had never seen its true form. Like Aunt Gong, it remained shrouded in mystery.

Crushing the head in his hand, Long Chen saw many scenes. This time, he was able to extract some useful information from the devil creature’s soul.

“So they gain intelligence through devouring others. Then the human race should be the best food for them,” muttered Long Chen.

The devil creature he had just slain was on the level of a Heavenly Chosen, and it was only smarter because it had devoured the flesh of seven humans and over thirty demonic beasts.

The revelation shocked Long Chen. Why did the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain seem more and more like a trap? These devil creatures were clearly waiting for them to enter and send themselves to their deaths. The opening of the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain was a huge opportunity for the devil creatures.

“If these devil creatures are similar to the ones in the outside world, then it’s not hard to understand why the human race has not been able to reclaim the old lands,” said Long Chen.

Previously, Long Chen had struggled to understand why the human race didn’t launch a full-scale assault to reclaim their territory from the devil creatures. Now, he realized that the casualties from such a battle wouldn’t just exhaust their forces but also strengthen their enemies. Unless they could decisively crush the devil creatures, the human race would only find themselves at a disadvantage.

If the human race were to fight the devil creatures, they had to minimize the number of casualties. Otherwise, they would be doing more harm to themselves than to their enemies. It was no wonder they approached the conflict with such caution.

At this moment, the other devil creatures spotted Long Chen and charged at him. Long Chen snorted and roared once more, unleashing sacred energy that crushed all devil creatures.

This time, Long Chen kept an eye on the golden lotus seed. As expected, when those devil creatures turned to dust, the seed quivered and clearly grew a bit brighter.

Perhaps I can lift its veil of mystery this time! Long Chen was excited by the thought. This lotus seed was clearly a treasure, and with a clue in hand, he was determined to follow where it led him.

After killing those devil creatures, Long Chen rushed off in a certain direction. According to the memories he had gleaned from the stronger devil creature, that was where their armies were gathered.
