The blood-red meteor was not large, barely a hundred zhang in diameter, but its pressure was astonishing, and its aura was in no way inferior to Sha Tiantong.
The most terrifying part was that the attack was extremely abrupt. Long Chen had just noticed it when it appeared right in front of him.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, a bronze cauldron stood in front of Long Chen. The two collided, and the blood-red meteor shattered with a thunderous crash.
The Yaoyue Cauldron was sent flying several zhang from the terrifying impact before steadying itself. Seeing this, Long Chen was both shocked and delighted. That strike was terrifying, yet the Yaoyue Cauldron had caught it so effortlessly.
At this moment, he was at a critical stage; the second strand of dragon energy in the Heavenly Vein was gathering, leaving no room for distraction.
"Foolish humans, divine artifacts of heaven and earth, not yours to touch. Either give up your position or die! Two paths, you choose for yourself." At that moment, a cold shout rang out.
As the voice fell, a group of people appeared before Long Chen. There weren't many, just a few hundred.
But their aura startled Long Chen. Among the hundreds, eight were Eight-Vein Heavenly Saints, while the rest were all Seven-Vein Heavenly Saints. The leader had already stepped halfway into the Nine Meridian Realm.
This group was tall and imposingly powerful, exuding a terrifying demonic aura that was almost suffocating.
Their bodies were covered in blood-colored chips, as if clad in blood crystal battle armor. Their bare heads were covered with crystal stones, making them look extremely grotesque.
"A familiar aura."
Long Chen was startled when he saw these people, then immediately remembered that when he traveled with Feng Xinyue, he had encountered a battlefield where he saw blood-red crystals on the ground and learned about the Blood Crystal Lizard clan.
And these people before him were none other than the powerful members of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan—their aura was definitely accurate.
Long Chen hadn't expected to encounter a powerful member of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan at this moment, and the clan's ferocity truly startled him.
Although there were only a few hundred people, each one was a master among experts, a formidable among the strongest. Long Chen had never encountered such a terrifying lineup since entering the Tianmai Profound Realm.
The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan's powerhouse saw Long Chen looking at him without saying a word, nor showing any intention of giving way. His face darkened, and he waved his hand: "You kill him, I'll collect the divine marrow."
As the man spoke, he actually took out a mysterious clay jar, dragging it with his large hand. Countless blood-red runes lit up on the jar, and a terrifying pressure surged forth.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
The other Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan experts said nothing. Their crystal battle armor lit up, the power of the Heavenly Vein surged, and they charged straight at Long Chen.
"Ling'er, hold the line for me. I'll be ready soon."
Long Chen said to the Yaoyue Cauldron. At this critical moment, the second Heavenly Vein dragon energy was condensing. If it was interrupted, all previous efforts would be wasted.
Once the second strand of Heavenly Vein dragon energy is formed, even the weakest prototype is considered successful, because once the prototype is formed, it grows quickly.
But once interrupted, the star power flows backward, causing damage to the star. This damage is extremely severe—not only will it affect Long Chen's ability to condense the star dragon vein, but it can even damage the source power. The consequences are truly terrifying.
Seeing these guys so arrogant, Long Chen couldn't help but flee into a rage, but no matter how angry he was, he had to hold back. At this moment, he simply couldn't fight.
"Don't worry, Brother Long Chen, I can handle it."
"Buzz."
The
Yaoyue Cauldron responded, then suddenly expanded its body, transforming into a transparent cauldron. Using itself as a barrier, it wrapped Long Chen around without hindering his absorption of heaven and earth's energy.
"Boom boom boom...
At that moment, the powerful warriors of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan had already arrived. Wielding spears and giant axes, they slashed fiercely at the Yaoyue Cauldron. The violent force smashed onto the cauldron, erupting with a thunderous explosion.
The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan wielded heavy weapons, each strike carrying earth-shattering power. Each strike erupted with terrifying ripples, spreading and shaking heaven and earth, the momentum overwhelming.
Yet the Yaoyue Cauldron firmly protected Long Chen, and despite their furious attacks, she remained as steady as a rock.
It must be said, Yao Ling'er was incredibly powerful at this moment. The runes around her had been enhanced by the Qiankun Cauldron. Although they were high-quality imitations, with the enhancement of genuine ones, her power was truly astonishing.
"How could this happen?"
The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan attacked frantically, while the Demon Moon Cauldron remained unharmed. They were stunned—they had never seen such a terrifying divine weapon.
"A bunch of useless fools, get out of the way."
The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan warriors attacked with all their might, but still couldn't break through Yao Ling'er's blockade. The leader immediately flew into a rage.
At this moment, all the runes on the pottery jar in his hand were activated, aimed at Long Chen's direction, clearly prepared, but no one could do anything to a single weapon.
"Buzz!"
The leader of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan waved his hand, and a golden warhammer appeared in his hand. The hammer was glowing with golden light, its head about the size of a tabletop, and densely inscribed with runes.
As soon as it appeared, the earth suddenly sank, and its terrifying weight actually pressed down on space, causing the void to twist slightly.
This golden warhammer was astonishingly heavy. When it appeared in the hands of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan leader, countless dense runes slowly lit up, and the violent power made the heavens and earth tremble and the world change color.
"Die!"
The leader of the
Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan shouted, his golden warhammer slicing through the void like a golden lightning bolt crashing toward the Demon Moon Cauldron.
The golden warhammer sliced through the void, exploding and forcibly piercing through a passage—a terrifying sight.
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, Long Chen felt as if his head had been struck by a hammer. His head was nearly smashed to mush, his ears filled with a rumbling, and he couldn't hear any sounds from outside.
Facing the attack of the golden warhammer, Yao Ling'er fought with all her might, but was still blasted away. The blow was too terrifying; she couldn't protect Long Chen.
Long Chen was shaken so hard that his soul and six spirits felt like they were about to fly out, unable to concentrate and control the power of the stars. At that moment, he was both shocked and furious, hurriedly looking inside the divine ring. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a dragon vein about three feet long, flickering with faint starlight, appeared.
"Damn idiots, you almost ruined my big plan." Long Chen secretly wished he had been lucky. If he had attacked just a moment earlier, he would have been completely finished. He looked at the powerful warriors of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.
"Buzz!"
Just as the Yaoyue Cauldron was blasted away, the energy of heaven and earth instantly broke free from the formation's control and surged rapidly toward the strange clay pot.
"Foolish human, go to hell, I'll take you downReturn the tainted power of destiny."
The leader of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan wielded a golden warhammer, his strength piercing his arms. Eight vein dragon energy and a translucent vein dragon energy rapidly lit up around him. With one hammer, he pierced the sky, crashing straight for Long Chen's forehead. The force of this strike was even more terrifying than the previous strike.
"Eight-Star Battle Body—Open!"
Long Chen shouted angrily, his divine ring trembling. The sea of stars covered the sky, eight stars shining like suns, and two lines of dragon energy, one large and one small, appeared within the sea of stars.
At that moment, an unprecedented power of the stars instantly filled Long Chen's entire body. Facing the full-force strike from the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard clan's leader, Long Chen swung the Evil Moon of Dragon Bone, tearing the void and letting out countless wails.
"Boom!"
Starlight appeared on the
pitch-black Dragonbone Evil Moon, slashing heavily against the golden warhammer. With a loud explosion, the golden warhammer was shattered by the Dragonbone Evil Moon's blade, turning into a sky full of golden dust.
