Chapter 5358: Radiant World Star Crystal
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Long Chen was filled with astonishment as he stared off into the distance. He sensed a strange aura but couldn’t quite make it out. Without hesitation, he called out to the Earth Cauldron, “Senior, senior!”“What is it?” The Earth Cauldron was disturbed by his call as it was in the middle of refining pills.
“I feel a faint summons. It’s weak, maybe due to the distance or something blocking it. Can you help me confirm it?” Long Chen asked, his curiosity piqued.
“A summons?” The Earth Cauldron paused its refinement, its runes glowing faintly brighter. After a brief moment, it exclaimed in shock, “You’ve run into something good!”
“What is it?” Long Chen asked, instantly becoming excited.
“In the mountain range up there to the right, there is a Radiant World Star Crystal!” exclaimed the Earth Cauldron.
“And what is that?”
“You know of star cores. A Radiant World Star Crystal is similar but far more extraordinary. It is the core of an entire starry river, an object from beyond the heavens. When a starry river is destroyed, its core sometimes falls, absorbing the laws of heaven and earth around it. That crystal contains immense astral energy, the exact thing you need right now. With it, your Eight Star Battle Armor can reach its full power in the shortest possible time,” explained the Earth Cauldron.
“Really?” Long Chen was delighted but quickly faced a dilemma. According to the Earth Cauldron, it was in the mountain range up ahead, and that was a bit far from here.
At this moment, the battle was growing increasingly intense. Tang Wan-er had already led her forces deep into the heart of the blood devil tribe, where a seven-vein Emperor had just appeared.
This seven-vein Emperor, double the size of its kin, roared and charged at Tang Wan-er, its claws aimed at her.
“Wind’s Peak, Wind Moon Slash!”
Tang Wan-er immediately went all-out. Her manifestation trembled, its light dimming as her sword lit up with a dazzling glow. At this time, the Hidden Dragon Legion’s morale was at its peak, so their charge could not be interrupted here. She had to blast past this seven-vein Emperor.
BOOM!
Her full-force strike unleashed a torrent of wind energy, shattering the blood devil’s claws. However, the recoil sent Tang Wan-er flying backward. Before she could recover, her eight retainers rushed in, their swords targeting the injured devil’s vital points.
Having just lost its arm, the blood devil was in pain, and its defensive powers dropped. Eight blades pierced it at once, with Xiao Yue’s sword landing the sharpest blow—she stabbed its eye and drove her blade deep into its head.
The seven-vein Emperor let out a furious roar, and its Blood Qi suddenly erupted like a volcano. The explosion sent everyone flying back, but Xiao Yue found her sword stuck in its skull. She couldn’t pull it out.
The right thing to do would be to let go and retreat. However, as every cultivator viewed their weapon as a second life, they wouldn’t let go lightly. Without it, it would be like losing their soul. Xiao Yue instinctively tried to tug her sword free.
“Xiao Yue, fall back!” Tang Wan-er cried out.
At this moment, the seven-vein Emperor opened its mouth, blood-colored wind blades forming inside. It was unleashing its full power—if Xiao Yue didn’t retreat, she’d be torn to shreds.
It was the result of it igniting every bit of its Blood Qi. Even Tang Wan-er would be instantly sliced apart if struck by them.
Xiao Yue gritted her teeth and released her sword, but to her horror, the space around her froze. She was trapped, unable to move.
“Xiao Yue!” a cry of panic echoed as the space around her twisted.
Just then, an arm wrapped around her waist, yanking her away—it was Long Chen. As he pulled her back, he kicked the blood devil in the jaw, diverting its attack.
Though Long Chen’s kick was powerful, it wasn’t enough to break the devil’s jaw or interrupt its divine ability. However, it succeeded in redirecting the blood-colored wind blades, which tore through the battlefield, annihilating everything in their path, including several six-vein Emperors. The once-crowded battlefield now felt eerily empty as mountains in the distance were sliced apart. A long bloody line of death lingered on the battlefield.
“Remember, this isn’t like the Seven Treasure space,” Long Chen said sternly to Xiao Yue. “There, you don’t have to worry about dying, but here, every chance to survive counts.”
Xiao Yue’s combat style was ruthless—she never left her opponent any room to survive, but in doing so, she also risked her own life. Wanting to kill her target in one attack was not wrong, but she needed to judge the difference in power between them. Against an enemy too strong, a one-hit kill was simply impossible.
Xiao Yue’s face was pale, realizing how close she had come to death. Without Long Chen’s intervention, she would already be dead.
Despite being gravely injured, the seven-vein Emperor still held immense power. It spread its wings, releasing a surge of violent aura.
“This is your chance! Go for it!” Long Chen shouted, pushing Xiao Yue toward the blood devil.
Startled, she let out a cry but quickly caught her sword. Instinctively, she yanked it free, and in doing so, disrupted the blood devil’s rising aura, throwing its energy into disarray.
“This is my chance!” Xiao Yue thought excitedly. She realized that her strike had interrupted the circulation of its Blood Qi, sealing its power temporarily.
Without hesitation, she drove her sword into its other eye. This time, she pulled upward, slicing clean through its head.
In truth, her previous attack had also been a killing move, but her angle had been a bit off. However, with this attack, the blood devil convulsed before its aura finally disappeared. Powerful wind energy directly shattered its soul.
Seeing that they had killed this seven-vein Emperor, the Hidden Dragon warriors cheered. Xiao Yue herself was unable to believe that she had killed a seven-vein Emperor devil creature.
“The battle isn’t over yet. Keep going!” shouted Long Chen.
With renewed determination, the Hidden Dragon Legion continued slaughtering the remaining blood devils. Confident that the remaining enemies posed no further threat, Long Chen sent a message to Tang Wan-er, instructing her to quickly clean up the battlefield and then find a secluded place to rest.
As the battle raged on, Long Chen quietly slipped away, heading toward the distant mountain range where the Radiant World Star Crystal awaited him.
