Chapter 6705 Pleasant Surprise
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
These were a different breed of devil creature.
Their bodies were covered in scale-like armor, and blood-colored horns jutted from their foreheads. Each one radiated an aura stronger than the last.
Most shocking of all, they could speak.
For devil creatures to use language meant they had a certain level of wisdom. That alone placed them far above low-grade devils.
When these devil creatures saw the Starry River Legion, they licked their lips with their scarlet tongues. Saliva dripped out of their mouths.
When the one speaking roared, the others charged crazily at the Starry River Legion.
“Kill!”
Having learned from their previous battle, the Starry River warriors kept their emotions in check. They did not fall into a berserk state.
The moment the two sides clashed, flesh and blood flew through the air. Even though these devil creatures were stronger, they still couldn’t threaten the Starry River warriors.
“Hold back a little bit. If you seem too strong, stronger devil creatures will show up. Take things a bit slower and let the devil creatures slowly send reinforcements,” instructed Long Chen.
They were now at the heart of the Devil Slaying Battlefield. Any disturbance here would be sensed immediately by powerful devil creatures.
If both sides followed the unspoken rules, the outsider devils would treat this as a training opportunity as well, sending their young devil creatures to fight them.
According to the Starry River Palace’s records, high-level outsider devils resided within this battlefield. Their intelligence was no less than that of the human race. Otherwise, the experts of the nine heavens would not have failed to crush them after so many years.
Among the upper ranks of the outsider devils, Long Chen only knew Ying Wudao. He had once tried to extract information from him, but Ying Wudao was exceedingly crafty and revealed nothing he did not wish to.
From what the Starry River Palace knew, the outsider devils were divided into thousands of branches, with an extremely strict hierarchy.
The devils in front of Long Chen and the others possessed powerful auras; however, they didn’t have wings. They would only be considered ordinary elites. If classified according to the Starry River Palace’s rankings, they would be considered outer palace disciples.
However, in a one-on-one fight, the palace’s outer palace disciples would stand no chance against them.
These devils felt no pain and no fear. Meanwhile, those who fought them often experienced instinctive dread, which dulled their strength. When two sides were on par in terms of power, but one side couldn’t release their full potential out of fear, it was obvious which side would win.
Based on past trials, most disciples would stay around the outer edge of the battlefield. Once they adapted to the aura of these devils and were in top condition, they would start heading deeper to face even stronger devils.
However, for the nine star heirs who had experienced the trial of the Seven Treasure Space, these devil creatures were too weak. If it were not to train their teamwork and formations, they could have definitely challenged stronger devils.
However, Long Chen felt like this pace was more appropriate. After all, the Starry River Legion was new, with many flaws yet to be corrected. Steadiness mattered more than speed.
As the Starry River warriors fought intensely, Qu Yingying wanted to join in several times, only to be stopped by Long Chen. If she were to join in, her powerful astral energy would be like a beacon in the night. Stronger devils would immediately sense it and come.
These devils had clashed against the Starry River Palace for countless years. It was entirely possible that some could recognize the Primal Chaos Astral Body. If that happened, they would abandon all restraint and do everything possible to capture Qu Yingying.
As a result, Long Chen only allowed her to assist discreetly in small areas. If one section weakened, she could intervene quietly. But under no circumstances could she summon her manifestation.
Qu Yingying was incredibly aggrieved. She had thought she would finally be able to fight freely, only to be reduced to watching from the sidelines.
These devil creatures were simply not strong enough to pose a threat to the Starry River warriors, so there was nothing for her to do.
To prevent this foolish big sister from trying anything reckless, Long Chen told her bluntly that if she were exposed, the outsider devils would dispatch terrifying experts to kill her—experts no weaker than the two old men from earlier.
Qu Yingying was badly frightened by that. Although she was unhappy, she obediently sat back and watched.
After giving her a scare, Long Chen added, “The growth of the Starry River warriors is also your growth. The stronger they are, the stronger you are. If you want to stand out amongst the crowd, there will definitely be a chance later on. Why rush?”
That reasoning soothed her.
At this moment, Qu Yingying stealthily glanced back at Cang Lu and frowned.
“Little brother, who is he? He’s like a ghost! I can’t help feeling nervous with him standing behind us!”
Cang Lu stood there in black armor and a black helmet. Wisps of black qi occasionally seeped out of him. He looked like a Yin Soldier from the underworld, his dense aura of death sending chills down her spine.
Right now, Cang Lu was absorbing the energy left behind by these devil creatures. Upon death, that energy transformed into Bloodfiend Qi, which was precisely what he needed.
Through observation, Long Chen noticed that Cang Lu’s aura had grown subtly stronger. This meant the method could truly allow him to recover to his peak.
The peak Cang Lu had touched upon the boundary of the Heavenly Sovereign realm. He could be considered a half-step Heavenly Sovereign.
Thinking of having a puppet at that level, Long Chen couldn’t help getting excited.
If Long Chen had such a protector by his side, why would he give a damn about the Starry River Palace? He could just kill whoever he wanted. In fact, he would even beat up the palace master.
Just then, Cang Lu’s body trembled.
Long Chen waved his hand, sending him back into the primal chaos space.
Just as Cang Lu appeared in the primal chaos space, a powerful aura erupted out of him, and black qi gushed out like lava from an erupting volcano.
“The first Heavenstage of the Sovereign Lord realm?”
Long Chen was pleasantly surprised. Cang Lu had actually broken through, and his aura became even more solid.
“This works!”
In such a short time, Cang Lu’s realm had advanced. The outsider devils within the Primal Chaos World were clearly accelerating his recovery.
Long Chen summoned him once more and had him continue absorbing Bloodfiend Qi.
The slaughter continued, but Long Chen ordered the Starry River warriors to look a bit panicked, as if they had lost direction and accidentally appeared here.
They fought while scattering in all directions, seemingly searching for an escape.
Just as Long Chen guessed, one wave after another of devil creatures marched over.
Two hours later, Long Chen sent Cang Lu back into the primal chaos space.
Cang Lu’s aura erupted, and black flames burst out of him.
“Second Heavenstage!”
Long Chen’s excitement grew. At this pace, by the time this battle ended, Cang Lu would become a truly terrifying trump card.
