Chapter 5412 Terrifying Silver Wing Heaven Devils

Long Chen sped up as Silver Wing Heaven Devils flooded into view. At first, they appeared only in small numbers, but soon clusters of seven or eight attacked together, relentlessly converging on him.

As he fought through them, he noticed their Blood Qi and spiritual energy increasing. These creatures were no longer mindless corpses. It felt like some kind of power had blessed them with spirits and wills.

What is going on? This isn’t at all like what Ye Lingkong described!

Long Chen was alarmed by this discovery. The number of Silver Wing Heaven Devils kept increasing, and they got stronger and stronger. Now, they possessed some fighting instincts and even started using divine abilities.

As corpses, they weren’t that strong. But if a small group were to be surrounded by so many of them, they would be in great danger. Long Chen couldn’t help feeling worried for the Hidden Dragon Legion.

As Long Chen sped along, streaks of lightning shot out of him, piercing the heads of these devil corpses. Targeting the devils’ weak points—their heads—Lei Linger dispatched them quickly, allowing Long Chen to continue forward. After killing them, she tossed their bodies into the primal chaos space, where the black soil devoured them and released vast quantities of life energy. Somehow, even these ancient corpses exuded as much life force as freshly killed Emperor-level devil beasts.

No, something’s wrong. It’s like something’s feeding them Blood Qi and life energy, trying to bring them back to life! Long Chen had a bad feeling.

The air thickened with an unfamiliar aura and laws he didn’t recognize, bending spacetime around him. A strange sensation crawled over his skin, setting every nerve on edge. What he didn’t realize was that he was drifting dangerously close to a massive, hidden vortex, the kind that twisted even perception itself.

As Long Chen advanced further, he saw the Silver Wing Heaven Devils behaving in ways he hadn’t expected. They no longer wandered aimlessly and sat cross-legged as if in meditation. But the moment they sensed him, they attacked, their hollow eyes filling with sudden clarity.

They struck with a viciousness that seemed almost... alive. When Long Chen shattered their arm with a punch, it regenerated instantly, and his wrist throbbed with pain.

“They can regenerate?!” Long Chen exclaimed, shocked.

How could a corpse regenerate its limb? These devils were no longer bound by the limitations of corpses.

Long Chen hurled a white bone spear at the devil’s head. The spear was something he had seized from Ying Tianhua[1]. After all, Evilmoon disdained killing these devil corpses, so Long Chen just helped Gu Yang get a headstart.

When devil blood soaked the white bone spear, Long Chen sensed fluctuations from it. Its dragon will was slowly awakening.

“Do you smell something familiar?” Long Chen smiled at the spear. The weapon seemed to resonate with the battlefield, almost as if it remembered a past steeped in the blood of these creatures.

With Lei Linger aiding him, they pushed through the horde, clearing devils and feeding their bodies to the primal chaos space. As the white bone spear was soaked in devil blood, its desire to kill awakened. Its dim runes also started to glimmer.

The white bone spear became as quick as lightning, killing the Silver Wing Heaven Devils rapidly.

At this moment, Long Chen was shocked by the number and power of Silver Wing Heaven Devils around him. He felt like he had entered their hive. The space around him twisted and turned, causing him to be unable to tell where he was going. He could only charge forward.

However, the deeper he pressed, the more the devils evolved. They now had swirling runes around their bodies, emitting dazzling silver light. Primal chaos qi pulsed through them, and their blood fields created a suppression that weighed heavily on Long Chen.

“What is going on?!”

Long Chen was stunned, having no idea what was going on. Unbeknownst to him, spacetime was rapidly changing around him. Space twisted, and suddenly, his hand was empty. The spear was gone.

It was so bizarre that he had never experienced it before; even Lei Linger was gone.

Panic bloomed as he realized he’d also lost his connection to Dragonbone Evilmoon, the Earth Cauldron, even the primal chaos space itself.

All of a sudden, a six-vein Silver Wing Heaven Devil tore through the air, slashing at him with a claw. However, this one wasn’t a corpse. It was alive, with six-colored runes blazing from its body, exuding a pressure that was even more terrifying than half-step Divine Emperors.

Long Chen could not comprehend what he was seeing. The claw was so fast that it instantly arrived right in front of him.

BOOM!

Long Chen roared, driving his fist forward with explosive force. Stars spun across his knuckles, but as his strike connected, a sharp pain shot through his hand—the Silver Wing Heaven Devil’s claw had raked across his fist, leaving deep cuts.

Long Chen stared at his fist in disbelief. His astral energy had failed to block the claw?

The Silver Wing Heaven Devil twisted in the air, and its silver wings sliced down at Long Chen, emitting a suffocating pressure. Long Chen had never encountered such a terrifying Silver Wing Heaven Devil before, so he felt like he was in a nightmare. These fiends were everywhere, cutting off any path of escape, forcing him to stand his ground.

Bracing himself, he crossed his arms to absorb the impact. A shockwave erupted from the clash, and he barely held back a mouthful of blood. His mind spun—what was happening here? These devils were hundreds of times stronger than before.

Just as he was about to summon the Eight Star Battle Armor, a radiant sword slashed through the sky, obliterating the surrounding devils in a dazzling sweep. A beautiful woman appeared, seized his arm, and pulled him away from the swarm. As she lifted Long Chen into the air, he finally looked around, and the scene before him left him utterly speechless.
