chapter 5521 sinister intentions
the elder’s words drew a chuckle from long chen. “your longevity is already at its end. basically, you’ve got one foot in the grave. what do you mean by ‘fight to the death’?”
however, long chen’s amusement quickly turned to vigilance as he noticed something peculiar. a faint, indistinct black qi had appeared on the foreheads of the three divine emperors.
the black qi was death qi, a clear sign that their lives were about to end. in the mortal world, those skilled in face reading could use this qi to tell when a person was about to kick the bucket.
while long chen might not be a face-reader, he could tell something was amiss. after all, when experts of this caliber died, they would always choose to undergo a dao transformation in their ancestral land. so, even if their physical bodies died, their souls would linger to protect their ancestral land, boosting its karmic luck.
yet here they stood, far from their ancestral lands, with death qi ominously spreading from their foreheads. the anomaly immediately heightened long chen’s alarm.
“hahaha!”
the three divine emperors suddenly began to laugh, their expressions twisting into something malevolent.
“then we’ll destroy your wind god sea pavilion’s dragon veins so that you can’t enter the heaven vein mystic realm either!” one of them declared with glee.
the three of them formed a series of hand seals, and the black qi on their foreheads exploded outward, spreading rapidly.
“a curse art?” long chen was baffled.
something didn’t add up. the three of them were near death. how much power could they possibly muster with a curse art?
the death qi swirled and expanded. suddenly, agonized screams echoed through the battlefield. to everyone’s shock, the black qi engulfed all the experts who had come with the three divine emperors. their bodies decayed in moments, and their yuan spirits ignited, which turned them into living torches of agony.
in an instant, the death qi in the air was drawn into the whirlpool, disappearing entirely. the world instantly cleared up as if there had never been any curse.
long chen stared at his palm, bewildered. as the image of the mysterious vine on it vanished, long chen turned his attention to the primal chaos space.
the three-foot vine had undergone a dramatic transformation. its leaves shimmered like emerald jade, and the dense black lightning coursing through it crackled with newfound vigor. what astounded him most was its rapid growth. in mere moments, it had stretched another foot taller, exuding wild vitality.
when long chen probed it with his divine sense, the vine waved its leaves, as though attempting to communicate. regrettably, long chen couldn’t understand what it was implying.
“that curse energy was nourishment for you?” long chen muttered, his shock mingled with awe. “just what kind of existence are you?”
the vine’s black lightning continued to swirl as it absorbed the remnants of the curse energy. since the heavenly dao tree and the seven treasure colored glass tree within the primal chaos space were unaffected, long chen sighed with relief. satisfied, he withdrew his focus.
back in the real world, the battlefield felt eerily empty. the colossal army that had just stood opposite them had vanished, leaving only the chilling memory of what had happened.
long chen and yue zifeng walked forward to greet the others. introducing yue zifeng to ye lingkong, long chen was amused to see ye lingkong lose his composure. after all, he had never seen such a powerful sword cultivator before.
yue zifeng’s sharp and boundless aura was like an unsheathed blade, leaving an unforgettable impression on everyone. the wind god sea pavilion disciples gazed at him with awe and reverence, as though he were a celestial being from the heavens.
when long chen looked at tang wan-er, she got it directly and introduced the hidden dragon warriors to yue zifeng. upon learning that he was the dragonblood legion’s fourth captain, they couldn’t contain their astonishment. whispers of excitement rippled through their ranks.
“let’s go. elder xinyue is waiting for you,” said ye lingkong.
with ye lingkong leading the way, they entered the wind god palace, leaving the battlefield and its sinister echoes behind.
