Chapter 5129 Escape
Dragonbone Evilmoon appeared suddenly, swirling with pitch-black qi, resembling a devil god’s fang piercing toward the heavens.
The enormous hand slammed into Evilmoon, and blood exploded as its sharp tip instantly pierced the hand.
The Earth Devil elder grunted in pain as his hand rapidly withered, his expression changing drastically. Grabbing his right hand with his left, he tore his own arm off in a desperate move.
As soon as he did, the enormous hand in the sky vanished, and his severed arm quickly withered into dust.
The elder was shocked. When his palm struck Evilmoon, it felt as if a dam had burst within him, and all his immense Blood Qi rushed out, flooding into Evilmoon. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, Evilmoon would have drained all his Blood Qi in just a few breaths.
He had never seen such a terrifyingly evil weapon before. The moment Evilmoon pierced his palm, he could smell death. He had not expected Long Chen to have such a terrifying divine weapon.
“Fuck, now I’m so full that I’m going to burst. You have to run. I really can’t eat anymore!” shouted Evilmoon.
Before this, Evilmoon had gone into seclusion precisely because it had consumed so much energy that it needed time to digest it all. Later, the Earth Cauldron forcibly awakened it to help Long Chen in battle. Upon waking up, Evilmoon couldn’t resist taking a few bites of the Grandmist violet qi despite being full.
Just as Evilmoon was planning on going back into seclusion, Long Chen ran into danger again. After piercing the elder’s palm and sensing his immense Blood Qi and heaven vein energy, it instinctively absorbed it.
As a result, it felt as if it was going to burst. As an item-spirit, it couldn’t describe this sensation to Long Chen.
At this moment, a formation disc lit up beneath Long Chen’s feet, and he vanished.
“Where do you think you’re going?!” the elder roared, instinctively slamming his other palm down. Just as he did, he pulled his palm back and opened his mouth, shooting out a blood arrow.
Just as the elder was about to interrupt Long Chen’s teleportation with his palm, Evilmoon reappeared. The elder hesitated, not daring to clash with it directly again. What he didn’t know was that, even if he had, Evilmoon wouldn’t have been able to absorb any more of his Blood Qi. Although the elder reacted quickly, it was too late—Long Chen was already gone.
Long Chen didn’t teleport far; he used a short-range transportation to cut down the distance. This quick move allowed him to escape almost instantly, putting enough distance between him and the elder. Spreading his wings, Long Chen shot toward the core once again.
“Stop right there!” the elder roared as Long Chen couldn’t escape his senses.
Unfortunately for the elder, while his power was far greater than Long Chen’s, his speed was just slightly slower. As he saw the distance between them increasing, he gnashed his teeth and roared in frustration.
Following the elder’s roar, countless others echoed through the surroundings. The elder was clearly rallying the devil creatures.
Soon, countless devil creatures converged in front of Long Chen, charging at him with ferocity. Lightning and flames erupted from Long Chen, forming a massive domain that instantly blasted the approaching creatures apart.
Fortunately, Long Chen didn’t encounter any three-vein Heaven Saints. Ordinary devil creatures couldn’t stop him.
The Earth Devil’s leader ground his teeth and pursued Long Chen with blazing intensity. It would be a lie to say Long Chen wasn’t scared of him.
Long Chen’s heart pounded hard. The curse on him had yet to dissipate, so if he were stopped here, he would surely die.
Suddenly, Long Chen felt a wave of heat wash over him, revitalizing his spirit. This heat signified that he almost reached the core of the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain.
The core region of the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain was ablaze with sacred Heavenly Flames, so the devil creatures didn’t dare to approach it. Long Chen knew that if he could enter the core, he would escape the threat of the devil creatures.
While Long Chen was delighted, the elder’s expression grew ugly. The distance between them continued to widen, making it impossible for the elder to catch up.
However, the elder still clung to a shred of hope. If a Mortal Devil three-vein Heaven Saint appeared, they could block Long Chen for just a moment—that moment would be enough for him to close the gap.
Unfortunately, the devil creatures rushing over were all too slow, and no one could stop Long Chen. The elder grew anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, the heat intensified, and the flame aura became incredibly dense. The ground beneath Long Chen split into countless ravines, revealing dark red magma flowing within them.
At this time, Long Chen noticed several other figures in the distance. Many of them looked bloody and beleaguered, all rushing toward the core as well.
For these people to arrive only now meant that they had been transported to the very edge of this world in the beginning. Moreover, this indicated that they were both powerful and incredibly lucky.
After all, the devil creatures had formed layers of blockades, and not encountering a three-vein Heaven Saint required heaven-defying luck.
They were all pushing forward with everything they had, knowing that once they reached the core region, the energy of the Heavenly Flames would save them.
However, as they neared, a terrifying devil qi filled the air, suffocating them with its overwhelming pressure.
When they saw the leader of the Earth Devils, they were so terrified that it felt like their souls might flee from their bodies. Fortunately, this devil creature was chasing someone else. When they realized it was Long Chen, their jaws dropped in disbelief.
As Long Chen rushed forward, he suddenly saw burning flames up ahead and burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, old thing, you don’t need to send me off any further! Go back and wash your neck for me!”
With that, Long Chen dove into the flames. The elder of the Earth Devils chased him to the edge of the flames but stopped instantly. Even a six-vein Heaven Saint didn’t dare to pursue Long Chen into these flames.
He gnashed his teeth in frustration. Seeing Long Chen’s figure vanish into the flames, the flames of fury in his eyes burned even hotter than the Heavenly Flames themselves.
