"Buzz"—
The blood curse runes landed on the demon corpse, instantly absorbing them. Immediately, Long Chen's soul power rapidly declined, and the purple blood power was frantically drained.
Long Chen was startled; he hadn't expected that using the Heavenly Soul Blood Curse on the Golden-winged Heavenly Demon would consume such a huge amount.
Half of his soul power was instantly drained, and nearly eighty percent of his purple blood power was drained. Such a terrifying consumption was truly astonishing.
"No wonder it's a Demon Emperor-level corpse. If it succeeds..." Long Chen's heart pounded wildly.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
When the blood curse runes landed on the head of the Golden-Winged Demon's corpse, purple divine light radiated from its entire body. The purple divine light then flowed back through the body, reaching the top of the head and finally concentrating at the eye area.
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, the corpse of the Golden-winged Demon trembled violently, then opened its eyes. In its golden pupils appeared purple runes—the blood curse runes condensed from the power of purple blood.
"Success?"
Long Chen could hardly believe his eyes. He actually succeeded on his first try—when did he become so lucky?
"Dong dong...
Long Chen struck the chest of the Golden-winged Demon corpse with his fist, producing a powerful roaring sound. Long Chen felt the demonic runes within its body rapidly awakening.
"Buzz buzz...
At that moment, the corpse of the Golden-winged Demon trembled, and a massive vortex appeared above its head, frantically devouring the energy within the chaotic space.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen was not surprised but delighted. The blond man had no ability to awaken these Demon Emperor-level Golden-Winged Heavenly Demons, causing their runes to be depleted.
Now, it had become Long Chen's puppet, controlled by his soul. The chaotic space tacitly recognized it as one of its own, letting it absorb the power here to nourish itself.
As the Golden-winged Heavenly Demon continuously absorbed the energy of the chaotic space, its aura grew increasingly terrifying, its imperial power fluctuating continuously, as if it were truly coming back to life.
Long Chen knew it wouldn't survive; this was the awakening of his life runes. He didn't know if this guy would activate all the runes, nor how much combat power it could recover.
"If it can restore 10% of its peak strength, it could probably sweep away all the current Divine Emperors and all other strong fighters.
I just wonder if facing the silver-haired Void will be countered by his Throne of the Gods." Long Chen thought to himself.
Long Chen really wanted to find an opportunity for the Demon Emperor puppet to fight the silver-haired Sky Void, but the Silver-Haired Sky held the Throne of God, and the throne held the will of the Great Brahma Heaven. Long Chen feared that the curse runes would be suppressed by his divine power, causing the puppet to lose control or be destroyed. That would make Long Chen cry.
"Forget it, I'll handle the silver-haired empty space myself. You keep it for me to be your thug."
Long Chen looked at the Demon Emperor puppet, whose runes kept flashing, and an excited smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Aside from the silver-haired figure in the air, who else could resist it?
Long Chen formed hand seals and cast the blood curse again, but when the seal was halfway condensed, he was so frightened that he quickly stopped.
Long Chen almost forgot that in his current state, if he used the Heavenly Soul Blood Curse and lacked both soul power and blood strength, he would inevitably fail. Once the Blood Curse began, it couldn't be stopped. If he did, the rune power inside the corpse would instantly become unbalanced, causing a corpse explosion.
After resting for a while and recovering, Long Chen cast the Heavenly Soul Blood Curse again. However, this time, he was not so lucky. As soon as the blood curse formed, the corpse of the Golden-winged Heavenly Demon began to swell rapidly.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped and threw it directly into the black soil.
With a muffled "bang
," the corpse exploded, but wrapped in the power of black earth, causing little disturbance. The range of the shockwave was only about a hundred zhang.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After exploding three
demon corpses in a row, Sweat started pouring down Long Chen's forehead:
"Don't be like that. You just let me taste some sweetness and you're already slapping me in the face?"
"Buzz."
But this time, Long Chen succeeded again, which put his anxious heart at ease.
From then on, Long Chen switched mindsets between failure and success. In the end, out of twenty-two corpses, eight were successfully refined into puppets.
This success rate far exceeded Long Chen's expectations, which made him overjoyed. He let them stay here, desperately absorbing the energy here—the more, the better.
The runes on these puppets are all single-use; once the runes are saturated, they can no longer store any energy.
Moreover, once the energy inside the runes is completely released, they become completely ineffective and can no longer be activated. So, how powerful they ultimately become depends on how much energy they can absorb.
The Silver-Winged Demon Long Chen had tricked from the Green-Haired Parrot last time was one of the weaker kind. Their runes were already half-damaged, and the energy they could roughly store was extremely limited. So if they didn't act, they would have to unleash all their power.
Because if not all of them were released, their runes could no longer be used, and all the energy would dissipate, wasting everything.
But these Golden-winged Demons were different; their runes were intact and highly resilient, allowing them to fight for a long time until their internal energy was exhausted.
"Heh, these eight look pretty good. Why not give me one and let me test the blade?" At that moment, Dragonbone Xie Yue's wicked laughter echoed.
"Don't joke around, this thing is my strongest enforcer... Huh, you're awake?" Only then was Long Chen pleasantly surprised to discover that the Dragonbone Evil Moon had already awakened.
Long Chen looked at Dragonbone Xie Yue and was startled:
"Damn, why are you smoking?"
At this moment, the Dragonbone Evil Moon floated in the void, endless black energy continuously releasing around it. The evil aura made Long Chen feel numb.
"Actually, I ..."
"Buzz!"
Before Dragonbone Evil Moon could finish, a sudden cry erupted—it was actually ejected from the chaotic space.
Long Chen was startled and hurried out of the chaotic space, but when he saw the scene before him, he was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, the black mist of the Dragonbone Evil Moon had spread across the entire world. The stones on the ground shattered by Long Chen's smashes were tainted by the black mist, instantly decaying and scattering into ashes.
"What's wrong with you?"
Long Chen's mouth dropped open in fear, but now he understoodWhy was the Dragonbone Evil Moon kicked out by the chaotic space?
"Hehe, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I feel great—better than ever, full of strength. I want to find a decent sparring blow." Dragonbone Xie Yue chuckled, even her laughter so wicked.
"It was activated by the Chaos Law, its primal power was awakened, and its primal runes are beginning to awaken. This guy might turn bad, so you need to be careful." At that moment, the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron rang out.
"Buzz"—
the
void trembled, and the Qiankun Cauldron appeared above the void. However, when Long Chen saw the cauldron's appearance, he was startled again.
