long chen stood in the air, looking into the distance while extending his divine sense slowly. in a place his eyesight was unable to reach, he saw a huge black hole.
it was tens of thousands of miles wide. around it, the sky had spiderweb cracks extending out, like a frozen lake that had been smashed with a stone.
spatial cracks continuously formed around it, radiating outward. there were also orderly divine runes constantly working to repair those cracks.
but the hole possessed some kind of mysterious energy that was resisting, and the void was constantly being ripped apart and healed, and then ripped apart and healed. there were two energies fighting, both of which transcended human comprehension.
countless devil beasts were wildly charging out of the huge hole. long chen noticed that the weaker devil beasts found it easier to pass through.
on the other hand, the stronger devil beasts looked like they were being trapped. ninth rank devil beasts looked as if they were being suppressed by some kind of energy from the world when they passed through the channel.
during the process of crossing over, their bodies would emit white smoke, and they let out pained howls.
“so that’s what it was. these devil beasts are creatures from outside this world. when they come to the martial heaven continent, they are suppressed by the world’s laws. their power is greatly reduced. no wonder i felt like they weren’t as strong as the ninth rank sea demons i fought in the martial heaven sea-ring.”
long chen came to a sudden realization. this had been a source of confusement for him. if they were called ninth rank devil beasts, they should have been on the same level as ninth rank magical beasts and sea demons.
long chen shook his head and retracted his divine sense. doing such a distant probing made him feel a wave of exhaustion in his soul.
that channel was hundreds of thousands of miles from here. that was the absolute limit of his divine sense, and just maintaining it for a few breaths exhausted a significant amount of his soul energy.
“the xuan master said that the devil beasts come from hell, but not the hell that people know. instead, this hell is the crevice between the netherworld and the martial heaven continent. ugh, the higher my cultivation base, the less i understand the world. i just feel more and more miniscule,” sighed long chen.
he took a deep breath and continued examining the depths of the battlefield. a cold smile quickly appeared on his face.
up ahead, somewhere they couldn’t see, there were huge earthen walls that slanted toward them. the devil beasts charging through the spatial channel would naturally detour along the earthen walls once they encountered them.
the earthen walls led them over in this direction, and looking on the other side, he saw another defensive wall. seeing hu guishan and the others on it, long chen was infuriated.
he directly took out a photographic jade and recorded everything he saw. gao xianyang was too despicable. not only had he arranged for long chen to defend a place with more devil beasts, but he was also guiding the majority of the devil beasts that should have been going to hu guishan’s side toward him.
fortunately, long chen was able to activate photographic jades inside the primal chaos space. that meant that it recorded whatever he saw. otherwise, he would only be able to accept this. that was because otherwise, once the battle was over, they would erase all the evidence.
“if you want to play with me, i’ll play you to death,” swore long chen.
as time passed, more devil beasts appeared. the dragonblood legion had completely gotten used to killing ninth rank devil beasts. the devil beasts were killed one by one, multiplying their confidence and increasing their cooperation skills.
in one attack, they swept away all the enemies within dozens of miles. even ninth rank devil beasts were killed with this move.
“earthen thorn formation!”
the two of them once more shouted, and something similar to brambles grew out of the ground, protecting the outer edges of the two factions.
the devil beasts would be mangled and lacerated when they crashed onto the brambles. however, they seemed to have no sense of pain, and even when turned into such a bloody state, they continued to crash forward.
however, the brambles were tough, slowing their speed. by the time they reached the first line of disciples, much of their flesh stayed behind on the brambles. even ordinary disciples could easily kill them with an attack. in fact, many of them died within the brambles.
even a ninth rank devil beast would be badly mangled after charging through the brambles, and several disciples working together could kill it very easily.
when the brambles were covered by corpses, the two of them would circulate their earth energy, blowing the corpses apart. they then once more summoned a new wave of brambles. with the two of them helping, the two factions instantly had it much easier.
at the same time as li qi and song mingyuan took action, yue zifeng also attacked. his attack allowed everyone to see the terror of sword cultivators. his attack was proof of why sword cultivators were called the number one attackers amongst cultivators.
with a slash of his sword and a flash of sword qi, any devil beasts, even ninth rank devil beasts, were killed in waves. all of them split apart.
when yue zifeng sent an attack at a ninth rank devil beast, his sword qi was so powerful that at the same time as it killed the ninth rank devil beast, all the devil beasts in a line dozens of miles long were killed as well.
once, a single wave of his sword instantly killed four ninth rank devil beasts in a line.
it almost looked like someone was in a rice paddy, brandishing his blade. but instead of rice, he was harvesting devil beasts.
“yue zifeng is getting stronger and stronger,” praised long chen. yue zifeng was walking even further on the sword dao. right now, he was just using ordinary attacks.
hua shiyu and wang zhen were filled with shock, but they were also grateful to long chen. gu yang, li qi, and song mingyuan were all intentionally allowing ninth rank devil beasts to get by in an injured state. the three of them were essentially giving those points to their disciples. that magnanimity was truly convincing.
long chen hadn’t even ordered them to do that. this was simply the style of the dragonblood legion. they never took advantage of others, and when they helped people, they helped them fully.
more and more devil beasts appeared, but it only made the disciples more excited. the kill points on their bracelets were constantly climbing.
those fortunate enough to kill a ninth rank devil beast would instantly get a million points. although in the end they would have to distribute those evenly, it still made them incredibly excited.
time trickled by in their nervous and excited states. one hour, two hours, three hours...
a whole day and night passed, but the devil beasts didn’t slow down. their numbers continued to increase, until finally, yue zifeng’s attack landed on a certain ninth rank devil beast’s body.
a large cut appeared in the devil beast’s body, but it wasn’t fatal, startling yue zifeng.
it roared, and opening its mouth, a black light suddenly shot toward the dragonblood legion. yue zifeng’s expression drastically changed.
