"There is demonic energy on the mountain."
Long Chen and the others were startled, the entire mountain trembling, followed by a chilling surge of demonic energy shooting into the sky. It turned out that a great demon was also lurking atop this mountain.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the mountain exploded, countless flying stones shooting toward them like meteors.
"You wretched beast, suppress them for me."
At that moment, a sharp shout rang out, and blazing divine radiance descended from the sky. Massive flaming swords descended from the heavens.
"Boom boom boom...
The massive lightsaber pierced the mountain peak, forming a massive prison of flames that sealed off the entire peak.
"Such terrifying flame power." Tang Wan'er was startled.
"Why does that voice sound so familiar?" Yue Zifeng was taken aback.
Long Chen slapped his thigh: "Damn, isn't that voice from the one who claims to be the Son of Brahma? What's that called Fan, what was it again... "
It's called Brahma De."
Tang Wan'er had a good memory and immediately called out his name.
"Yes, it's him. Damn it, enemies really cross paths! The brothers and sisters of Fengshen Sea Pavilion, listen up, fall back, maintain your formation, and don't alert this guy. Zifeng, Wan'er, let's go beat him up." Long Chen gave the order directly.
Hearing that Long Chen intended to deal with the Son of Brahma, everyone was extremely excited, but hearing that Long Chen ordered them to retreat immediately made their hearts feel extremely distressed.
But they also knew that Long Chen was doing this for their own good. Their strength clearly wasn't enough to participate in dealing with the Son of Brahma; joining the fight would only make things worse.
Xiaoyue and the other Hidden Dragon warriors were also somewhat unwilling to accept it, but they knew that if their strength was sufficient, Long Chen would never let them miss a battle of this level.
Though unwilling to accept it, they could only obey orders. They secretly vowed to strive to improve, or else they wouldn't even qualify to fight alongside Long Chen.
Everyone maintained their formation and slowly retreated, while Long Chen, Yue Zifeng, and Tang Wan'er took advantage of the intense spatial fluctuations, not worrying about being discovered, and quickly sped forward.
"Boom boom boom...
The
entire mountain trembled wildly, ripples spreading from the peak, the void collapsing massively, and endless Dao runes being crushed to pieces.
"Wow, this blood and energy power must be something only a second-rank Divine Emperor-level expert possesses!" Seeing those terrifying ripples, Long Chen couldn't help but be startled.
"This guy can actually handle a second-rank Divine Emperor-level expert. His strength must be terrifying." Tang Wan'er said in shock.
The three sped forward, and as they neared the summit, they witnessed a horrifying scene.
Thirty-six Sky-Piercing Fire Swords pierced the earth, forming a fiery prison spanning tens of thousands of miles. Inside the fiery prison, a fierce dragon was bound.
This evil dragon had wings on its back but three heads, its demonic aura soaring to the heavens, its pressure fierce and overwhelming. Its aura was countless times stronger than the first-grade Divine Emperor-level demon birds they had slain.
At a glance, it was clear this was a monster above second-rank Divine Emperor. Its aura was extremely strange—it was said to be a demon beast, yet also carried the aura of a magical beast, seemingly a hybrid of the two.
The three heads continuously spewed flames, thunder, and frost, relentlessly attacking the fiery prison.
On the earth, billions of flame runes lit up, forming an extremely complex magic array. No matter how the evil dragon struggled, it could never break the fiery prison.
On top of the fiery prison, a man in white stood a man in white, his black hair flying, hands forming hand seals. Behind him stood a statue, from which endless power of faith surged, controlling the entire cage.
The man's face was dark, covered in pockmarks, each seemingly stained with black filth. His face was asymmetrical to the left and right, not only looking ugly but also somewhat frightening.
When Long Chen saw the man's ugly face, his heart skipped a beat. He knew the pockmarks on his face weren't real pockmarks, but runes.
A human actually imitated the demon clan, transforming his life force into primordial runes that covered his entire body—this was a classic example of taking an unconventional approach.
"You wretched beast, it's your honor to become my mount. How dare you resist?"
The ugly-faced man formed hand seals with both hands, and the "pockmarks" on his hands and face writhed like larvae inside insect eggs, making Tang Wan'er's scalp tingle and goosebumps rise just by watching.
Tang Wan'er was someone who had seen the world, but she had never seen someone so ugly before.
"It seems this guy set traps in advance before launching his attack. He wants to subdue this evil dragon." Yue Zifeng said.
Long Chen nodded. From the rune array on the ground, it was clear this guy had started setting up this setup quite early.
At this position, if one concentrates their attention, they should be able to sense the battle Long Chen and the others just fought.
Clearly, this guy's attention was entirely on the evil dragon, leaving him with no time to care about the surroundings.
However, if this guy succeeds and subdues a second-rank Divine Emperor-level demon as his mount, among peers of the same level, he might truly become invincible.
"Boom!"
The two-headed evil dragon was enraged. With a furious roar, the three heads stopped frantically biting at the cage.
Endless runes lit up on its wings. Its once massive body rapidly expanded, and the fiery cage was squeezed into a deformable shape.
"This two-headed evil dragon has a fiery temper. After barely struggling, it's already going all out. With this ultimate move, it either bursts the cage or bursts itself." Yue Zifeng saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"You wretched beast, do you think you can escape from my grasp? Since I value you, you can't live or die. Surrender is the only way out." Seeing the two-headed evil dragon refusing to surrender, Brahmsky sneered coldly and changed his hand seals.
Immediately after, a sacred and solemn chanting echoed through heaven and earth. What he was chanting was the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra.
"Rumble rumble...
As Fantian De recited the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra, the temperature of the entire world began to rise rapidly. The fiery runes from all the worlds surged toward them like rivers converging into a sea, pouring into the fiery prison.
The two-headed evil dragon roared in fury, and its rapidly expanding body suddenly stopped, as if something had leaked out, making it scream in frustration.
"This guy uses the power of flames to drain its bloodline power. This turns into a war of attrition, and I'm afraid this two-headed evil dragon will really be tamed by him."
Seeing Fantian De's confident demeanor, Tang Wan'er spoke with a serious expression.
Having just entered the Tianmai Profound Realm, their eyes were opened—someone could actually tame a second-rank Divine Emperor-level beast. The joy everyone had just felt from working together to slay a first-grade Divine Emperor-level beast instantly vanished.
"Boss, this guy is going to wear and tear that evil dragon down for less than an hour. At that point, he'll be severely weakened. At that time, ...," Yue Zifeng said.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "We don't have time to wait for him. I'll go meet him first, and you all hold the line."
"Whoosh!"
As soon as
Long Chen finished speaking, he had already rushed out.
