After entering the battlefield, Long Chen immediately activated his senses and moved through the gaps between the demon clan's garrison territory, heading deeper inside.
Long Chen noticed that the further he advanced, the smaller the demon clan ranks became, while their strength grew stronger.
"It seems the number of new generation disciples of the demon clan has reached its limit. They are also going to use the Purple Blood Clan to stage a bloody trial." Long Chen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The further you advance, the more experts you encounter. These experts weren't raised in greenhouses, but fed with their lives. Naturally, these lives belonged to the demon clan's own people.
Using the lives of their own people to cultivate strong individuals is obviously an even fiercer and more brutal internal competition among demons than with the Purple Blood Clan.
After all, the demons' reproductive ability is a hundred times that of humans. They must control their numbers, or their resources will simply be insufficient.
After moving forward for more than an hour, the number of strong warriors dwindled. Finally, Long Chen discovered that he was guarding a territory all by himself.
As soon as Long Chen stepped into the territory of a powerful cultivator, the demon clan expert sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and looked around suspiciously. Clearly, he had already sensed something.
Long Chen's heart tightened. This person was very strong, able to sense from such a distance. However, after taking a step forward, Long Chen retreated.
The demon clan expert frowned, then shook his head and muttered to himself, "
Maybe I was too impatient. By estimation, it will take them at least a month to get here. Let's keep waiting!"
After speaking, the demon clan expert closed his eyes again, demonic energy swirling around him, and began to rest with them.
Long Chen hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not proceed. This person couldn't sense him precisely, so his strength was definitely below his own.
But if they kept moving forward and got too close, it would be easy for him to detect their presence. Although Long Chen wasn't afraid of him, showing up here too early would alert the demon clan, and Luo Yanfeng and the others might not be able to cultivate step by step.
In the end, Long Chen did not advance recklessly but stayed where he was, quietly extending his divine sense beneath the earth.
Long Chen "saw" countless dark rivers, channeling the power of purple blood deep into the battlefield. At the spot where this demon clan expert stood, there was a small vortex, within which the power of purple blood surged, slowly absorbing it.
"The Purple Blood Clan treats the demons like pigs to kill, and the demons do the same. When a demon clan expert kills a Purple Blood Clan disciple, they can directly absorb part of their blood soul power to strengthen themselves.
The remaining portion was sent by the grand formation into the demon clan's lair, and during the transport, these top demon experts could also gain some benefits while waiting. By
now, Long Chen had basically figured out the demon clan's strategy. No wonder they only defended without attacking—despite so many demon clan warriors dead, they remained unmoved.
It turns out all of this was part of their plan. The demons at the front lines were bait set by them, luring the Purple Blood Clan into a war of attrition.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Suddenly, thousands of Heavenly Dao Fruits fell from the Heavenly Dao Tree in Long Chen's chaotic space, meaning thousands of Purple Blood lineage disciples were instantly wiped out.
So many died in an instant. No doubt, some people were reckless and charged too deep, encountering powerful demons and causing massive casualties.
Looking at the fallen Heavenly Dao Fruits, many of them appeared to be of five or six veins, Long Chen knew that the Purple Blood Clan had also started to strike hard.
The potential of purple blood is limitless, but to unlock it, one must endure the thrill of death before their bloodline can awaken.
However, awakening a bloodline comes at a heavy price.
At this moment, there was simply no time for them to complete it step by step. Countless years of rest and recuperation were all for this brutal elimination match.
Long Chen had only been on the battlefield for less than three hours, and beneath the Heavenly Dao Tree, over a hundred thousand Heavenly Dao Fruits had already piled up. Each fruit was a living being. Looking at them, Long Chen felt a bit uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.
Long Chen divided out the Heavenly Dao Fruits from the Purple Blood clan, while for the Demon Clan's Heavenly Dao Fruits, he only kept the Nine Veins and Thirteen Veins Heavenly Saints. The rest were simply thrown into the black soil as garbage, to be devoured by the black soil.
As for these top-grade Heavenly Dao Fruits of the demon clan, Long Chen didn't even know how to digest them in the future. These fruits tainted with demonic energy were inedible to humans.
However, these things are also extremely precious. Although they don't know what they'll be used for in the future, it's better to keep them for now.
Long Chen then tried using his soul power to follow the underground river and glance at the altar. This time, he found a barrier set up on the altar, preventing his divine sense from penetrating. Clearly, the previous peeping had aroused their suspicion, so Long Chen had to give up.
Long Chen cautiously circled around the area a few times and found that the entire line was filled with experts. Trying to slip right under their noses without being noticed seemed unrealistic. In the end, Long Chen circled a long distance and returned to the central zone of the battlefield.
The battle here was extremely fierce. The strong members of the Purple Blood clan, after several life-and-death battles, were gradually showing their edges. Their bloodline power was awakening, and their combat effectiveness was increasing.
Of course, those who didn't improve had no chance to do so and ultimately died at the hands of the demon clan.
Among the demon clan, there were also those who displayed astonishing talent amid slaughter. Long Chen saw a demon warrior, in the midst of a fierce kill, suddenly abandon the slaughter and retreat directly to the next battlefield.
Clearly, the strength of that demon clan expert had already broken the balance of this battlefield. To avoid putting greater pressure on the Purple Blood Clan, he was classified as a next-level powerhouse, confined to his own exclusive zone.
Long Chen sneered inwardly. The demon clan was gradually luring the Purple Blood clan into a war of attrition, afraid that the Purple Blood clan would give up due to heavy casualties.
The battlefield was vast. After some time of adjustment, almost all the young disciples of the Purple Blood Clan had stepped onto the battlefield.
One attacking and one defending, the momentum was immense. The battlefield was like a vast ocean, and even Long Chen's activity area was only a small part of it.
In just half a day, Long Chen had accumulated hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Dao Fruits in his hands. Long Chen immediately returned, handed the fruit to Luo Zichuan, and then charged back into the battlefield.
However, just as Long Chen entered the battlefield, Luo Yanfeng followed right behind. Now, this group of Luo family disciples had all completed the totem blessing, their strength soaring again. Just as they finished the blessing, the disciples eagerly joined up with Long Chen.
As soon as they regrouped, Luo Jiang clenched his fists and said, "Let's go capture Bi Yingxue now. It's time for revenge."
