"Boom"
The Silver-Winged Demon had just lunged forward. Long Chen casually slapped it, and the demon instantly turned to ashes. Before Long Chen's hand could even touch the opponent, the Silver-Winged Demon was instantly reduced to ashes.
Although the Silver-winged Demon's body had decayed and was fragile, after so many years, its fierce aura had not diminished in the slightest.
It was nothing but a corpse. Long Chen found it hard to imagine how brutal this Silver-Winged Demon would have been if it were alive.
These powerful beings, in the hands of such a brutal and terrifying monster, bought precious time for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, giving them a chance to recuperate.
And now, how many of the humans still remember their sacrifices? If they saw the descendants they risked their lives to protect, ruthlessly killing each other for their own selfish desires, colluding with monsters, and colluding with monsters, how heartbreaking they would be.
Long Chen put away the coffin. When they arrived at the Wind Domain battlefield, the Wind God Sea Pavilion distributed countless coffins to everyone, clearly stating that if possible, they should bring back the remains of these predecessors and enshrine them in the Wind God Sea Pavilion, ensuring their heroic spirits could rest in peace.
Long Chen continued forward, passing through several battlefields along the way. But seeing these battlefields, he was so angry he felt like his lungs would explode.
Long Chen saw some relatively well-preserved bones—clearly human remains—but he hadn't expected that these bones showed signs of human destruction.
Some heads had been chopped off, some had their ribs broken. Judging by the marks, they must have been from recent times. Needless to say, it was people who entered the Wind Domain battlefield. Seeing the imperial Dao runes on these bones, they broke them off and took them back for study.
The remaining portion, because it has no research value, is simply left here.
This is a kind of desecration, an unforgivable desecration. Although not all those who enter the Wind Domain battlefield are humans, regardless of the race, as long as they are natives of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, these fallen warriors are heroes who protect them.
Without their protection, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would have long ceased to exist. How could they treat their benefactor like this? Such an ungrateful act is something even an animal couldn't possibly do, right?
"Unfortunately, time can't be rewinded. Otherwise, if I go back to when we first met, I'd crush them one by one." Long Chen watched with gritted teeth; such behavior was simply outrageous.
Long Chen didn't expect any special opportunities to gain himself. Whenever he saw the remains of ancient powerhouses along the way, he would always carefully and respectfully store them with reverence.
However, among some intact corpses, Long Chen saw endless runes carved on a bone of his arm.
After careful examination, he felt this must be a cultivation technique, but with only runes and no annotations, deciphering it was extremely difficult.
Long Chen didn't have time to decipher it, so he could only put it away for now and hand it over to the Wind God Sea Pavilion—they'd find a way to decipher it.
The owner of this corpse must be extremely powerful. After killing the enemy, he still had the strength to engrave all his life's knowledge into his bones, waiting for the destined person to arrive.
Long Chen also discovered quite a few weapons, but unfortunately, they were all damaged, their spirits long dissipated, and even if there were runes, they were either too dim to be read or had completely disappeared.
However, Long Chen casually put them away. He also showed great respect for these broken weapons. Their owners were heroes, so were they too?
However, Long Chen's respectful attitude toward these broken weapons deeply moved both the Dragon Bone Evil Moon and the Qiankun Cauldron.
Although the Qiankun Cauldron sometimes thought Long Chen was stupid, and the Dragon Bone Evil Moon sometimes thought he was timid, for some reason, they just liked being with him.
Even the Qiankun Cauldron didn't even know why it had confusedly accepted its master. Logically, Long Chen was not its ideal master.
Now, they suddenly understood that they were willing to be with Long Chen because he never treated them as weapons, but as life-and-death companions. In Long Chen's eyes, they held the same status as his confidantes, passionate brothers, and closest kin.
"That's enough. A clay pot can't leave the well to break; generals inevitably die on the battlefield. Dying on the battlefield is always much happier than being left to rust." Although Dragonbone Xie Yue was moved, she still spoke somewhat impatiently.
The Dragonbone Evil Moon is a berserker; its mission is to fight, to kill. Back when it was the world-destroying war on the Tianwu Continent, it would rather die than be left behind by Long Chen. Its pride would not allow it to survive in vain.
Although Dragonbone Xie Yue made sense, whenever Long Chen saw something, he would casually put it away, since it didn't take much time.
As Long Chen continued forward, the light ahead grew dimmer, making it hard to see far.
However, in the hazy darkness, Long Chen gradually saw some Silver-winged Demons wandering aimlessly. These demons had lost their souls, but their bodies were not destroyed. When Long Chen approached them, they would attack actively.
"Boom!"
Long Chen punched a Silver-winged Demon to pieces. However, this demon's power was much stronger than before, and its body was much more robust.
However, after walking for an unknown amount of time, Long Chen noticed that the human corpses he saw were decreasing, while the wandering Silver-winged Demons were increasing.
At first, the bodies of these Silver-winged Demons decayed and were no match for a single blow. But later, as they realized their bodies grew stronger and stronger, after Long Chen killed them, they no longer turned to ashes, but instead to chunks of flesh.
Later, when Long Chen killed those Silverwing Heavenly Demons, demonic blood would actually splatter out.
Long Chen tried to throw the corpses of the Silver-winged Demons into the chaotic space, and surprisingly, he could still release a thin layer of life energy.
This shocked Long Chen. After countless years of erosion, these corpses still retained the vitality of life. The vitality of the Silver-winged Demon was simply terrifying.
He walked straight ahead, but Long Chen didn't notice that although the route he was taking seemed straight, it was actually following a strange arc, gradually deviating from the direction agreed with Tang Wan'er and the others, and instead heading toward the core area from another direction.
"Roar... The
further Long Chen advanced, the more Silver-winged Demons appeared. The bloodline energy of these Silver-winged Demons grew stronger and stronger. Their bodies were no longer stiff, but agile, no longer ordinary corpses.
Most of these Silver-winged Heavenly Demons were at least Five Vein Emperors, with terrifying physical strength. Even as corpses, their combat power was still terrifying.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen exchanged a punch with a Silver-Winged Demon at the Six-Vein Emperor level. As a result, one of the demon's arms shattered, flesh and blood flying everywhere, looking almost indistinguishable from a living demon.
"There are more and more Silverwing Demons here. Judging by the time, everyone should be here. I need to hurry—I can't let them wait too long."
Long Chen's heart tightened. He swung his fists and charged forward.
What Long Chen didn't know was that the direction he was heading was a huge black vortex, which looked like the mouth of a demon, quietly waiting for Long Chen to come to his door.
