Chapter 6706 Dark Divine General
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The fighting continued.
The Starry River warriors grew increasingly adept at maintaining their formations. At times, they intentionally created gaps, allowing enemies to pierce their ranks so they could experience the enemies’ strange techniques.
This was true battlefield training.
Thanks to their act, the outsider devils didn’t sense anything weird. The nine star heirs did not seem overwhelmingly strong, yet no matter how the devils attacked, they could not break through.
Four hours passed.
Several waves of devils had come to reinforce their comrades, but they still couldn’t do anything to the Starry River warriors. No one could even estimate how many had fallen.
During this time, Cang Lu made another breakthrough, reaching the third Heavenstage. Even Long Chen felt a twinge of envy at such speed.
If only his own cultivation could advance like this, just how great would that be?
Of course, Cang Lu had once been a peak Divine Sovereign who had touched the threshold of the Heavenly Sovereign realm. What he was doing now was recovery, not true advancement, which explained the terrifying pace.
Upon reaching the third Heavenstage of the Sovereign Lord realm, Cang Lu started to become restless. The runes on his body radiated an extreme craving for more Bloodfiend Qi.
The Bloodfiend Halberd also echoed this desire, its aura pulsing with slaughter. However, this was not their battlefield, so Long Chen didn’t let them join in.
“Another wave of stronger devils. Prepare to retreat!” Long Chen transmitted.
“Isn’t that perfect?” Qu Yingying said, perking up. “This dull slaughter is making me sleepy.”
Long Chen replied, “They’ve realized something is wrong and sent a stronger group of devils to probe us. If we fight them head-on, we’ll be exposed, and this training will end prematurely. Hurry up and tell everyone to pretend like they can’t hold on any longer. Force the enemy back and then withdraw. Big sister, pretend that you’re a formation master in the Starry River Palace. When you use your astral energy, make a few hand seals and chant something to distract them.”
Qu Yingying had been sulking, but the moment she heard she could pretend to be a formation master, her eyes lit up.
At this moment, the Starry River warriors roared furiously and acted as if they couldn’t hold on anymore. They appeared to be burning away their core energy to push back the devils.
Just then, starlight spread beneath Qu Yingying’s feet, condensing into a giant star diagram. Multiple formation discs were hidden within the giant star diagram, but they were so concealed that others couldn’t see them.
Forming hand seals, she shouted, “Great Star Master, bestow me your power! I, Qu Yingying, have just crossed into adulthood at eighteen. I am as fair as a flower, my skin white, my legs long…”
Long Chen almost coughed up blood.
Although he was mentally prepared for Qu Yingying to make up something nonsensical, this chant was just too much for him.
Even if the devil creatures were brainless, did she really need to sound this brainless? And eighteen? That wasn’t even close.
“Hurry up!” Long Chen hissed. If he had known this would happen, he never would have let her act.
“Oh—Star Master, thank you for your power! Transportation formation activate!” Qu Yingying saw Long Chen’s expression and hastily stopped her act. She then poured her astral energy into the formation discs to activate them.
Starlight transformed into a massive whirlpool that swallowed all the Starry River warriors whole.
When the glow faded, all that remained were confused devils roaring where they stood.
In truth, this was the Starry River Palace’s transportation formation. Normally, it required the starry river’s power, lengthy preparation, and long activation time. Using it mid-battle was nearly impossible.
Worse still, spatial laws around the battlefield were chaotic. One misstep could send the users into the chaotic flow of space. Thus, the Starry River Palace’s disciples would not dare to use such formations here.
The only exception was Qu Yingying.
With her Primal Chaos Astral Body, wherever her Radiant Starlight World reached, she could travel freely. Moreover, her domain had two states: a visible one and a formless one.
The formless state offered weaker support, but it was far harder to detect. Within this invisible domain, she could go wherever she wanted to.
To bring so many people at once, however, she still needed formation discs. The power of her domain stabilized the spatial laws and let them move safely.
Space twisted.
Long Chen and his group reappeared in a desolate wasteland. The instant they arrived, an icy chill seeped into their bones. Their souls trembled.
Startled, Qu Yingying turned around and saw an enormous figure that almost made her scream.
A black mountain-sized spider was curled up on the ground, staring at them malevolently. Its aura almost crushed their souls.
Despite knowing that they stood no chance against such a terrifying existence, no one ran. Just as they prepared for an immense battle, Long Chen shouted, “Don’t worry, it’s just a corpse!”
“A corpse?”
Only then did they notice the absence of spiritual fluctuations. Despite its overwhelming aura, it possessed no soul.
Yet, even in death, its pressure nearly shattered their souls. What kind of existence had it been?
“I remember!” someone exclaimed. “This is the corpse of a Dark Divine General! They were elites under the Dark Master, and each one was a Divine Sovereign. It’s said there were a million of them!”
“A million?!”
A million Divine Sovereigns...
The thought alone left everyone speechless, not to mention that just this corpse’s residual aura was stronger than that of modern acquired Divine Sovereigns.
There was an army of a million experts on this level?
Long Chen jumped onto the black spider’s back, causing Qu Yingying to jump.
“Be careful! This Dark Divine General has a dark curse on it! Don’t touch it!” she shouted.
That curse was precisely why no other devils dared approach this area.
Just as Long Chen appeared on the black spider’s back, black qi gushed out and charged toward Long Chen like a raging flame.
In response, Long Chen simply waved his hand.
Cang Lu appeared before him and formed hand seals, sucking all the black qi. Just like that, Cang Lu’s energy grew explosively. Countless runes were awakening within his body.
“As expected, their Dark line’s power is connected. I accidentally stumbled upon a treasure this time. The true Bloodfiend Devil Lord will soon return,” Long Chen muttered, full of anticipation.
Over ninety percent of Cang Lu’s runes were in a dormant state. As he absorbed this curse energy, those runes were coming back to life. Cang Lu gained access to his stunning divine abilities once more.
Once the last of the curse was consumed, the massive spider corpse collapsed like a broken statue.
And where it fell, a cluster of divine light slowly emerged.
“That’s..."
