Chapter 5497 Waning Moon Shakes the Heavens
“Golden Wing Heaven Devil!”
The dragon race’s patriarchs were dumbfounded at the sight of this lifeform. Even the Silver Hair Void Crusher froze in shock.
This was a Devil Emperor—an existence of immense power. Devil qi erupted from it, overwhelming the battlefield. Though it had been dead for countless years, the lingering devil might emanating from it was so oppressive that even the patriarchs quailed before it.
They couldn’t imagine how Long Chen had obtained such a trump card. It was evident the creature was long dead, its eyes inscribed with peculiar runes, marking it as a refined puppet. Yet, even as a puppet, its bloodline aura far surpassed their own.
In the Wind Domain Battlefield, the devil experts had erected secret formations to absorb the power of the heavens, nourishing these beings with primal chaos qi over eons, which explained the puppet’s extraordinary strength.
After a moment of shock, the Silver Hair Void Crushed burst into laughter. “It’s just a puppet. This is your trump card? Did you think a Devil Emperor puppet would be enough to challenge me? You’re too naiv—”
Before his mocking laughter could settle, one Golden Wing Heaven Devil appeared after another. When all eight puppets lined up in front of him, the Silver Hair Void Crusher was completely stunned.
The Dragon Domain’s experts were equally astounded. The Golden Wing Heaven Devils were an ancient and extinct species, their very existence relegated to legends. Most people in this generation had never seen even one, let alone eight.
To be able to refine such a terrifying existence into a puppet was shocking enough, but Long Chen actually had eight. With eight such terrifying fighters, who could possibly match Long Chen? Just how many trump cards did he have up his sleeve?
“They’re just lifeless puppets. I’ll destroy them all!”
Panic laced the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s voice, and the flames around him intensified, condensing into the terrifying Divine Commander Blade. After that, he charged forward, bypassing the puppets to strike directly at Long Chen, leaving countless afterimages in his wake.
In response, the eight Golden Wing Heaven Devils spread their wings at the same time, their golden feathers gleaming with flowing devil runes. Together, they formed an impenetrable shield around Long Chen, sixteen wings acting as a barrier.
BOOM!
The Silver Hair Void Crusher was blown back. The eight Golden Wing Heaven Devils were pushed back a step but remained unscathed.
The dragon race’s experts erupted into cheers, their confidence in Long Chen swelling.
But amid the celebration, Long Chen’s expression turned dark. His killing intent surged as he placed Dragonbone Evilmoon on his shoulder, forming a one-handed seal.
Suddenly, one of the Golden Wing Heaven Devils exploded into a rain of blood, stunning everyone.
The Silver Hair Void Crusher’s expression twisted in confusion. Moments ago, he had been strategizing on how to dismantle these powerful puppets one by one. But one of them simply exploded like that.
“Hahaha! So they’re nothing more than paper tigers!” he mocked.
As if to validate his words, the remaining Golden Wing Heaven Devils exploded one after another, their forms disintegrating into clouds of devil blood and qi.
Guo Ran and the others were baffled. What was happening? Were these legendary puppets truly so fragile?
At that moment, Dragonbone Evilmoon started to hum. Black qi swirled around its blade, exuding an ominous and oppressive aura.
Like a devil murmuring from the depths of hell, Long Chen growled, “How unlucky. I just obtained such a terrifying trump card, but I’m wasting it like this.”
Flames of fury flickered in Long Chen’s eyes. With the brief clash between the Silver Hair Void Crusher and the Golden Wing Heaven Devils, Long Chen realized the former’s terrifying strength.
Relying solely on the puppets would not ensure victory. Worse, even if Long Chen did win, the Silver Hair Void Crusher could still flee. After all, Long Chen lacked the power to stop him from escaping.
Thus, Long Chen steeled himself and made a crazy decision, offering the eight puppets as a blood sacrifice for... Dragonbone Evilmoon.
As the black blade absorbed the devil blood and qi, an eerie, suffocating energy filled the battlefield. The power of eight Devil Emperors flowed into Evilmoon, turning it into a weapon of unspeakable might.
“That’s...”
The crowd shuddered. They couldn’t comprehend what kind of weapon could absorb such immense power.
Long Chen pointed Evilmoon at the Silver Hair Void Crusher, and black qi erupted from it, forming countless black tendrils that cocooned heaven and earth.
Beneath the Silver Hair Void Crusher, the ground erupted, and the sky behind him splintered into a web of cracks. His body trembled violently as an invisible force pressed down on him.
“How is this possible?!”
The Silver Hair Void Crusher’s roar was tinged with genuine fear. He was paralyzed, unable to move under the oppressive force.
Seeing this, everyone else retreated. In this state, Long Chen was too frightening. Moreover, Evilmoon was exuding a sinister killing intent that filled the entire sky, plunging this world into endless terror.
Now, Evilmoon seemed like a peerless devil who was just out of its seal, as if it lived only for slaughter and destruction. With black strands shooting out of it, it looked incredibly sinister.
“Evilmoon, I’m entrusting everything to you,” Long Chen transmitted, his heart aching at the loss of the puppets.
He was already set on killing the Silver Hair Void Crusher, but to do so, he had to put in some capital. Having said such big words at the beginning, he’d make sure to live up to them no matter what.
Those eight Devil Emperors had been priceless, capable of dominating the battlefield for years to come. Yet, Long Chen had to sacrifice them all for this one moment.
“Don’t get sappy. Just give me your full power and chant with me...” Evilmoon replied, its voice resonating with dark, boundless energy.
Together, Long Chen and Evilmoon shouted, “Waning Moon Heaven Shaking Slash!”
A torrent of black divine light erupted from Evilmoon, forming a colossal saber image. Like a river of darkness filled with countless stars, it descended with apocalyptic force, obliterating everything in its path, including gods, devils, and all life beneath the heavens.
“Don’t think that you’ve won!”
The Silver Hair Void Crusher bellowed, spitting blood onto the Divine Commander Blade. His body shriveled as his divine throne merged into his weapon.
BOOM!
The clash of two divine forces shook the heavens. The battlefield, frozen in awe, bore witness to the ultimate showdown.
