At first, when Long Chen saw the towering giant tree from a distance, he felt it looked familiar, but he wasn't sure.
As he approached, Long Chen immediately recognized the origin of this group of tree demons—they were the Undying Dragon Locust clan, part of the Undying lineage.
Back when Long Chen met Uncle Huai in the Demon Sea, this was the first time besides Liu Ruyan that Long Chen had encountered a powerful member of the Undying Clan.
However, coincidentally, the Undying Dragon Locust clan was actually a subordinate of the Undying Netherwillow clan, loyal to them.
Later, Uncle Huai, anxious to find his own clansmen, left after landing in Nieying Heaven. Long Chen never expected to meet his clan here.
"Rumble rumble rumble... The
Undying Dragon Locust clan had no idea why they were fiercely battling those evil spirits, fighting fiercely and intensely.
"Buzz!" At this moment,
Long Chen didn't care about being discovered. He quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and soul power rapidly covered the entire battlefield.
The moment Long Chen's soul swept across the battlefield, his heart suddenly raced wildly. He actually sensed a familiar presence on a battlefield.
On the battlefield, an elderly man at the early Divine Emperor stage was fiercely battling two Evil Spirit Clan experts. Suddenly, his whole body trembled violently, and disbelief appeared on his face.
"Yes... Long Chen?"
The old man was none other than Uncle Huai, who had quietly left. As he left, he handed a drop of essence blood to Long Chen, making it much easier for Long Chen to search for him in the future.
And it was Long Chen who had driven this drop of essence blood, instantly finding him on the battlefield.
"Pfft" However,
Uncle Huai was momentarily stunned and lost his arm in a sharp sword. Fortunately, other powerful members of the Dragon Huai clan came to his aid, saving Uncle Huai.
"Don't be distracted!"
A powerful figure from the Undying Dragon Locust clan roared in anger. The battlefield was extremely tense, with both sides nearly evenly matched and the outcome uncertain. Any careless mistake could lead to a total defeat.
Uncle Huai looked into the distance. He did sense Long Chen, but the distance was very far. Moreover, he sensed that Long Chen was currently only at the Heavenly Saint level. If he rushed here, it would be extremely dangerous.
Right now, even self-preservation was a problem for him—how could he protect Long Chen? But the essence blood he left Long Chen could only help Long Chen find him precisely; at most, he could vaguely sense Long Chen's direction.
"Tu Yuan, focus quickly..."
Seeing Uncle Huai's distracted state, another Divine Emperor expert of the Undying Dragon Huai clan shouted anxiously. He didn't know what was wrong with Uncle Huai, how he could make such a rookie mistake.
At this critical moment, Uncle Huai gritted his teeth and ignored Long Chen and continued fighting.
Although he had just lost an arm, it didn't hurt him much. The Undying Clan's regenerative ability was astonishing—a new arm instantly sprouted, attacking the opponent again.
However, the two of them struggled to deal with three experts of the same level and quickly fell behind.
"Struggle is futile. Hand over your Dragon Locust Tree Hearts obediently, and you will be free!" A powerful member of the evil spirit clan spoke with a sinister expression.
The Undying faction possesses terrifying regenerative abilities. Not dying doesn't mean they truly don't die, but because of their powerful regenerative abilities, making them very difficult to kill.
The powerful members of the Undying Dragon Locust Clan possess the Dragon Locust Tree Heart, which is equivalent to the crystal core of a magical beast. The demon core of a demon beast is their life essence.
It is precisely because of this that they possess an almost immortal regenerative ability. If someone could devour their tree hearts, they would also gain immense vitality. This is also why the Evil Spirit Clan and the Dragon Huai Clan broke out in a bloody battle.
The evil spirit clan is too numerous. Now that they've encountered the Undying Dragon Locust Clan, it's a perfect opportunity to conduct a trial, and at the same time, they can obtain the Dragon Locust Tree Heart—killing two birds with one stone.
"The Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan was
nothing but a bunch of disgusting hyenas in the Chaos Era
. Even now, you petty people are still just dogs. The great lineage of immortality, and you dare to offend them? I think you're just tired of living. Uncle Huai roared.
The powerful figures of the evil spirit clan before him were the renowned Crimson Flame Evil Spirits of the Chaos Era.
When their power reaches its peak, crimson flames appear all over their bodies, hence they are called the Crimson Flame Evil Spirits.
The Crimson Flame Evil Spirits are notorious because of their vast race. They excel at group battles, and their numbers are as numerous as hyenas on the grasslands.
They come and go like the wind, strike like lightning—if they can win, they fight; if not, they run. They are a race both despised and feared by countless people.
The Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan has no fixed abode, like a swarm of locusts—wherever they go, they wipe out and rob every place, wandering through the cracks of the world.
Later, because they provoked a powerful race, they were nearly wiped out and forced to hide, and people thought they had vanished completely.
Unexpectedly, after countless years, they reappeared, fierce and brutal, just as the legends had described.
"Not to mention that the Undying Clan has long been fractured, even at its peak, our Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan was never afraid of you, right?
So many years have passed, and you still try to scare people with a rusty sign? That only proves you've completely declined! "The powerful warrior of the Crimson Flame Evil Spirit clan sneered.
"Boom boom boom... The
powerful warriors of the Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan mocked but struck without delay, each move ruthless, forcing Uncle Huai and another member of the Undying Dragon Huai clan to retreat repeatedly.
"Nonsense! Even if my Immortal faction declines, it's still stronger than you bunch of lost dogs.
Back then, the Jiuli clan killed you so much you cried for your parents. For millions of years, you could only hide in the cracks and barely survive. What right do you have to be so arrogant?" Another powerful member of the Dragon Huai clan cursed angrily.
"Tch, what is the Jiuli clan supposed to be? During the Chaos War, he was slaughtered like a stray dog.
Now that the Nine Heavens have reopened, the Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan will surely seek revenge against the Jiuli Clan. I just hope they won't all perish. "
The Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan expert sneered, "Enough with the nonsense. Today, I'll kill you all first."
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the three powerful warriors of the Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan appeared surrounded by crimson flames. Their Divine Emperor crowns rapidly burned, and their aura doubled.
Through previous probing, they had already figured out Uncle Huai and the others' true intentions. Like hyenas testing their prey, once they realized their opponent couldn't inflict fatal harm, they would unleash a deadly finishing move.
"Boom boom boom... Crimson
flames surged, and Uncle Huai was forcibly forced out by two powerful figures. Originally, they were two against three, but now it was one against two.
Another Dragon Huai clan expert was shocked and rushed desperately toward Uncle Huai. However, the expert opposite him desperately blocked him. With Uncle Huai's death, three against one, he was doomed.
"Boom!"
Uncle Huai fought two people alone. With a loud explosion, both arms were violently shattered. Suddenly, a powerful member of the Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan closed in and stabbed his sword toward Uncle Huai's chest, a sinister smile on his face:
"Die, old ghost!"
"Pfft!"
A seven-colored blade pierced through the back of the Crimson Flame Evil Spirit Clan powerhouse, then shot out from his chest.
Then a cold voice came: "Repeat your nonsense just now, let me hear it."
