Chapter 5264 Even More Terrifying Existences

“Are you stupid?” asked Bai Xiaole.

Bai Xiaole was forming hand seals, while the Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox’s true body hovered behind him. Their combined pupil arts swirled in the air.

In truth, both Bai Xiaole and the others—Guo Ran, Xia Chen, and Yue Zifeng—had been prepared to stop the Heaven Devil from escaping. Their thoughts mirrored Long Chen’s: a valuable opponent like this couldn’t simply be allowed to flee.

The Heaven Devil had tried to use a transportation art of the Heaven Devil race to escape, a method that would have stumped ordinary people. However, with two masters of spatial arts—Bai Xiaole and the Nine Tail Violet Pupil Fox—present, he was in for a rude awakening.

The Heaven Devil instantly panicked when his innate divine ability failed. His tail then smacked the air, and he fled.

However, before he could flee far, a ray of Sword Qi shot past his face, slicing off his mouth and nose. Covered in cold sweat, he instinctively retreated. If he had been even a fraction faster, his entire head would have been cleaved off.

The Heaven Devil wasn’t the only one shaken. Guo Ran and the others were equally startled.

“Zifeng, you don’t need to do anything!” shouted Guo Ran, charging at the Heaven Devil.

Bai Shishi, Xia Chen, Gu Yang, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan quickly followed suit. None of them dared to let Yue Zifeng strike again. After all, the Heaven Devil was already severely wounded and wouldn’t survive another of Zifeng’s attacks.

The Heaven Devil was a spent force. In mere moments, Xia Chen sealed him, and Guo Ran even brought out a custom set of chains to further bind him.

“This fellow is absolutely terrifying,” one of the dragon race disciples muttered, still shaken. Even though the Heaven Devil was now restrained, they couldn’t shake the lingering fear. This creature was far too dangerous, and they wouldn’t feel safe until he was dead.

“He truly is terrifying,” Long Chen agreed. “His cultivation base is only at the half-step Emperor realm, and he hasn’t awakened his primal chaos devil body yet. If we hadn’t disturbed him, that would be a problem.”

“Hehe, even if it did, he still wouldn’t be a match for Boss,” Guo Ran said confidently.

Though the Heaven Devil was indeed fearsome, he had pushed his power to the limit by using self-destructive techniques, yet he still couldn’t stand up to Long Chen. Moreover, Long Chen hadn’t even used Dragonbone Evilmoon in this fight, which was a clear sign that there was a considerable gap between them.

Shaking his head, Long Chen explained, “You can’t look at it that way. One or two primal chaos devil bodies aren’t a huge deal by themselves. The real issue is that this is the second altar and devil fetus I’ve encountered. The Heaven Devil race seems to be using these methods to create an army of primal chaos devil bodies, so these altars might be scattered throughout the entire Sovereign Emperor Heaven.”

Guo Ran and the others’ hearts shook. One of them asked, “You mean they’re trying to raise an entire army with this constitution?”

Long Chen nodded. “I can’t be sure, but based on the situation, it seems likely.”

If that really were the case, it would be absolutely terrifying. The Heaven Devil they had just fought was a failed product, yet it already possessed such an immense power. If the Heaven Devil race could mass-produce the good products, who in the world could stand against them?

Everyone looked at the sealed Heaven Devil gravely, and the dragon domain’s disciples were particularly shaken.

They had grown more confident under the guidance of the Dragonblood Legion, but this battle had shattered that newfound confidence. The power of the Heaven Devil race was beyond their imagination. Even a half-completed product already made them feel despair.

“The visible threat isn’t always the worst one. If their plan is just to create primal chaos devil bodies, it’s not as bad as it seems,” Yue Zifeng suddenly said.

“What do you mean? I don’t understand,” Bai Xiaole said.

Long Chen nodded and said, “Zifeng’s right. Whether it is a complete primal chaos devil body or not, it wouldn’t be our worst nightmare.”

“Why am I getting even more confused?” asked Bai Xiaole.

Long Chen continued, “Zifeng’s saying that the true peak constitutions are always unique and can’t be mass-produced. The primal chaos devil body might have been a common constitution for the Heaven Devil race back in the primal chaos era, but now they’re rare. That’s why they’re using these altars to recreate them. In other words, even if they successfully raise primal chaos devil bodies, they’ll just be advanced fighters in the Heaven Devil army. The real commanders, the true experts, will be much stronger. Do you understand now?”

Everyone’s hearts sank further. The idea that such a terrifying existence was merely an advanced fighter meant that the true powerhouses of the Heaven Devil race were even more terrifying.

“Well, knowing this now is better than being caught by surprise later,” said Long Chen, smiling

The Dragonblood warriors couldn’t help but smile with him, their blood heating up. The stronger the enemy, the more their fighting spirits surged. They lived for battle, and no matter the foe, they were ready to fight.

“Let’s go find a place to rest. Afterward, we’ll properly study this fellow,” Long Chen said, gesturing toward the sealed Heaven Devil.

“Boss, don’t just go soul-searching right away. Killing him now would be such a waste,” interjected Guo Ran hastily.

Long Chen chuckled, “Do you really think I’d do that? This guy is strong enough to make an excellent training partner for our brothers.”

“Haha, leave it to me and Xia Chen! We’ll make a few new tricks with him! He’s going to be the perfect sparring partner!” Guo Ran declared confidently.

“My black dragon race has a Ten Thousand Dragon Nest that’s used as a prison,” the black dragon race leader offered.

“Perfect! Let’s head there,” Long Chen said.

Everyone was reinvigorated. They were eager to learn more about the Heaven Devil race and perhaps discover some of its secrets and weaknesses.
