Chapter 6278 - A Trace of the Blood of the Divine Emperor

"Get out of the way!" Lei Yun'er was about to close in on the giant demon when a black aura enveloped it, forming a massive hand that slammed towards her. Long Chen was shocked; if this strike landed, Lei Yun'er would be utterly annihilated, leaving nothing behind. Long Chen's feet flickered with starlight as he prepared to rush forward to rescue Lei Yun'er, but to save her, he might have to use his Cross Extermination technique. "Screech" At this moment, lightning surged around Lei Yun'er, and a giant eagle-like beast appeared, crashing into the massive hand. "Boom" With a loud explosion, the colossal hand and the beast shattered, their forces canceling each other out, making it unnecessary for Long Chen to intervene. Long Chen was both surprised and delighted; at this moment, it seemed Lei Yun'er was possessed by the lightning beast, which was apparently a companion of a strong member of the Nine Stars lineage. The demon sneered, "Your body has already decayed completely. If you hadn't hidden your soul within the divine talisman, you would have perished long ago. Now, you are going all out, attaching your power to a mere Human Emperor girl; how much strength can you muster? You think you two ants can stop me? Do you want to make me laugh?" "Great inheritor of the Nine Stars, think of a way to stop it from devouring the master's soul, or it will become even stronger, and all the Nine Heavens' warriors on the battlefield will be slaughtered by it," Lei Yun'er transmitted to Long Chen. However, at this moment, Lei Yun'er was controlled by someone else, sounding and feeling utterly unfamiliar. Lei Yun'er continued, "This young girl's body resonates with me, but her strength is too weak to bear my full power. Ordinary divine powers are ineffective against this giant demon, but powerful ones would burst her body. I'll hold it off and buy time; you think of a plan." "Whoosh" After speaking, Lei Yun'er, surrounded by lightning, charged at the giant demon with a thunder spear. "Boom boom boom..." Lei Yun'er shattered black chains with her spear, displaying extreme bravery, yet she could not get close to the giant demon. "Senior, you attack fiercely; I'll find an opportunity!" Long Chen transmitted to Lei Yun'er. "Whoosh" He attacked the giant demon from another direction, flames rising around him as a sacred chanting resonated through the heavens and earth. As the chanting began, Fire Linger returned instantly, pouring all its fiery power into Long Chen without reservation. "The Great Brahma Scripture? How can the inheritor of the Nine Stars know the Great Brahma Scripture?" The demon was shocked to hear Long Chen's chanting. "Boom boom boom..." While it was distracted, Lei Yun'er appeared with a thunder beast behind her, with flames of Emperor Fire soaring, making her attacks even more ferocious. "Buzz" A lotus of fire appeared in Long Chen's hand. As it emerged, the power of flames in the world boiled, surging towards the fire lotus. In an instant, the terrifying heat ignited the surrounding forest, turning it into scorched earth in the blink of an eye. "World-Destroying Fire Lotus" Long Chen roared, and the fire lotus in his hand smashed towards the demon's body. "It's just the power of ants, Dark Wall, block it for me!" The demon roared, forming a black curtain before it, which immediately absorbed endless darkness. "Thunder Slash" Lei Yun'er coordinated perfectly, and with a tremor of the beastly apparition behind her, a thunderous wing tore through the sky, slashing at the demon from the opposite direction. Thus, the demon was attacked from both sides, its power dispersed, giving Long Chen and her a chance to break through its defenses. "It's just a petty trick; you can't shake my empire!" The demon sneered, shrouded in black aura. A black curtain formed on Lei Yun'er's side as well. The two black curtains bent backward instantly, like two giant pots joining together to form a circular barrier. Seeing this, Long Chen smiled, formed a seal with one hand, and the flying fire lotus paused slightly in mid-air before accelerating downward. "Boom" Due to Long Chen's actions, Lei Yun'er's attack struck first, slamming into the barrier, causing it to tremble violently. The runes on the barrier visibly converged on the point of Lei Yun'er's attack. "Not good" At this moment, the demon panicked, realizing the deadly flaw of this move. Being just a remnant soul without strong soul support, its control over spells was extremely crude. This spell barrier was evenly distributed, but when severely struck at one point, without soul control, the power would instinctively converge at the impact point to offset the strike force. Thus, other areas would become instantly weak; if attacked simultaneously, the forces would be evenly distributed. But Long Chen altered the timing, resulting in an eighty-twenty split of power, with Lei Yun'er's attack drawing 80% of the force. "Boom" With a deafening explosion, the fire lotus gave the demon no time to react, smashing into its barrier. The violent firepower erupted, shattering both the fire lotus and the barrier. The demon was shocked, just about to act. "Buzz" From the endless flames emerged a large hand, stars swirling in its palm, accompanied by a cross of destructive power. "Boom" Not only did the World-Destroying Fire Lotus shatter the demon's barrier, but it also thinned its defenses. Long Chen's palm pierced the air, slamming into the demon. The demon's body trembled; Long Chen felt a terrifying force, almost shattering his arm, grunted, and was thrown backward. "How could this be?" Long Chen was flung far back, incredulous that his full-strength strike hadn't destroyed the demon's body. The demon's body shook, decayed flesh falling like dust, yet the immense skeleton remained intact. Upon seeing the black, iron-like skeleton covered in divine runes, Long Chen instantly understood that the demon's remnant soul was hidden within these runes, and his strike hadn't destroyed the bones. "Ah..." The demon roared in agony, Long Chen's strike inflicting great pain. Endless black aura wrapped around the bones, whose runes ignited faint flames, as terrifying imperial might surged. "Oh no, with the sacrifice of its kin, it has condensed a trace of Emperor Blood!" Lei Yun'er's expression changed. Over the long years, aided by its kin, the demon's power gradually increased from being suppressed to becoming the suppressor. But who could have imagined it would condense a trace of Emperor Blood, rendering them helpless? The demon's aura grew more terrifying, and provoked, it seemed to have entered a berserk state. "Damn ants, let's go to hell together!" The demon roared, a bone claw moving, engulfed in flames, slamming towards Long Chen and Lei Yun'er.
