Clearly, the castle and the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest were not even on the same level and could not withstand such a fierce assault.
The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest remained unharmed, but the castle exploded with a roar. Countless demon clan warriors were reduced to dust by the terrifying impact, with only a few demon warriors surviving thanks to their overwhelming strength.
It turned out that this castle was built by the human race and later occupied by the demons. Although they had already learned how to control the castle by the time they took it,
However, this group of demons was not very intelligent and lacked strong control. While they were fine on the outskirts, moving through this twisted space made them somewhat flustered, which led to the earlier scene.
Now that the castle had been shattered, only a few tens of thousands survived among the millions of demon clan warriors. These demon warriors were tall, with white bone horns on their heads and bat-like wings on their backs, blue faces and fangs, looking extremely fierce.
What surprised Long Chen was that although the number of demon clan experts was small, there were actually three Nine Vein Heavenly Saints. The Nine Veins Heavenly Saints mentioned here were all life-bound Heavenly Saints.
There were hundreds of Eight-Vein Heavenly Saints; the rest were all Seven-Vein Heavenly Saints. Below that, there were none left, because all demon experts below the Seven Vein Heavenly Saints had been killed by the collision.
Whoosh!
Long Chen appeared before the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, his massive hand spread, and thunderous power shot out, forming a vast net that covered the earth.
Countless corpses of demon clan experts lay densely across the ground. Long Chen had captured them all in one sweep and stored them directly into the chaotic space.
Those demon clan warriors, having just lost their castles and still in shock and rage, saw Long Chen swaggering out to collect the corpse, and their rage soared.
"Buzz!"
The leading demon clan expert roared, nine dragon veins wrapped in demonic energy rising behind him. In his hand, he wielded a blood-red steel fork and stabbed fiercely at Long Chen, gathering the power of all nine dragon veins in one strike, aiming to kill Long Chen in one blow.
However, facing the full-force attack from a demon clan expert, Long Chen completely ignored it. With a sweep of his large hand, a net of thunder wrapped around countless demon corpses flew over.
"Smack!"
Just as the steel fork reached Long Chen, a large hand suddenly appeared and grabbed it, revealing Song Mingyuan's figure.
"What?"
The demon clan expert was shocked. His strike was powerful and heavy, holding nothing back. But the moment Song Mingyuan gripped the steel fork, his power vanished like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion echoed behind
the demon warrior. Nine demon dragons ignited with roaring flames, demonic energy soared skyward, and the steel forks roared loudly. The overwhelming power surged toward Song Mingyuan like a tsunami.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
However, Song Mingyuan's large hand trembled slightly, and ripples appeared on the ground beneath his feet. Within these ripples, runes nearby spread out in all directions like waves.
"Without stepping on the earth, one can draw the enemy's power into the earth and absorb the power of destiny through the earth's power." Long Chen threw the corpse into the black soil of the chaotic space, looking at Song Mingyuan's expression, and couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Just as he had expected, Song Mingyuan had now fused with the Dragon Soul, shedding his edge and comprehending the essence of the earth's power.
The power of destiny is tough and vigorous, while the power of earth is gentle. This is the most typical example of using softness to overcome hardness. Song Mingyuan didn't need to use his own origin power to quickly consume the opponent's dragon vein power.
Now, Song Mingyuan's aura had completely changed—no longer decisive and ruthless, but now possessing greater virtue and composure.
Gripping the steel fork with his bare hands, no matter how much the opponent exerted his strength, he remained unmoved, exuding the charm of 'let him be strong, let the breeze brush the hills, let him do as he pleases, and let the bright moon shine over the great river.'
With a casual strike, Long Chen could tell that these people were far from a match for Song Mingyuan.
"Buzz!"
The other two demon clan experts, seeing things were going wrong, suddenly flickered their figures—one on the left and one on the right—attacking Song Mingyuan at the same time, their steel forks flying through the air.
Song Mingyuan gripped the steel fork in his right hand and slowly formed hand seals with his left. Suddenly, space trembled, and two shields each about ten feet thick appeared on either side of him.
The shield was dark yellow, made of countless thick earth runes. It wasn't large, only three feet in diameter and just half a foot thick.
"Puff puff."
Two steel forks simultaneously stabbed into the shield. The forks pierced the shield, their sharp tips piercing through the shield, revealing a half-foot edge of sharpness.
However, this seemingly inconspicuous shield had exhausted both of their strength. Although it pierced the shield, it couldn't harm Song Mingyuan.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen's heart raced wildly. Song Mingyuan had completely transformed; this shield was merely his basic earth power condensation, yet it could easily block the full-force strikes of two Nine Meridian Heavenly Saints.
Now, Song Mingyuan's power had completely shifted from offense to defense, finally unleashing Ruilong's strongest power. Long Chen couldn't imagine what level his defense would reach if Song Mingyuan unleashed his full power.
The three great demon clan experts were terrified. Their earlier anger was gone; their eyes were filled with terror. Only now did they realize how terrifying the existence they had encountered.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
Seeing things were going badly,
the three frantically tried to reclaim their weapons. Unable to win, fleeing was the best option. However, their weapons were trapped by earth power. No matter how desperately they tried to snatch back, the weapons wouldn't budge an inch.
"Puff puff puff"
Suddenly, three golden divine radiances pierced through the void, bringing out three blood rains. The heads of three demon clan experts were instantly destroyed by the golden radiance.
Long Chen was stunned and turned around, only to see Guo Ran holding a giant golden crossbow, facing directly in this direction. Clearly, those three arrows were his creation.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the golden crossbow in Guo Ran's hand trembled violently, and a ball of arrows shot out. The endless arrows formed a torrent that surged toward the demon warriors' camp like a tornado.
"Thousand-Blade Arrow!"
Guo Ran shouted sharply, and a torrent of arrows exploded among the demon clan powerhouses.
"Puff puff puff...
The torrent of
arrows formed a massive whirlpool of arrows, and in the endless strangling of arrows, all the demon clan powerhouses were wiped out in an instant.
"That move is fierce!"
Long Chen was startled when he saw this scene. Guo Ran really had some talent; he had never seen such a move before.
Not only was this move incredibly powerful, but most importantly, it didn't use the power of the dragon vein—it relied entirely on bows, crossbows, and arrows to take down a group of people.
"Hahaha, I told you, I'll make the boss see me in a new light."
Seeing Long Chen's shocked expression, Guo Ran's vanity was satisfied like never before.
"This is a killer move I painstakingly developed in the Dragon Domain, thinking about for a long time. With Xia Chen's help, I finally completed it. Let's test it today—hehe, the results are excellent." Guo Ran smugly patted the golden crossbow in his hand as he spoke.
"Impressive! He could instantly kill an Eight-Vein Heavenly Saint. That's almost defying the heavens."
Although he couldn't stand this guy's smug face, Long Chen was still shocked, even unable to understand how this move could be so powerful.
"With this move, half a month's effort is gone."
At that moment, Xia Chen's figure appeared.
