Chapter 6346 - Terrifying Scale

Heavenly Ridge, the most perilous place within the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, has witnessed the deaths of countless beings. Resentment has coalesced, forming eerie creatures that include beasts, fierce demons, and intangible soul entities. For countless years, the Shadow Devil Bats have been exploring this area, but the creatures are too terrifying. Despite sacrificing numerous powerful beings, they could only linger on the outskirts. According to the Shadow Devil Bats' records, these bizarre creatures lack intelligence and possess only a combat instinct. Once discovered, they will fight relentlessly until death. Moreover, it is said that deep within Heavenly Ridge, there exists an unimaginably terrifying being. Although the laws within the Heavenly Domain Battlefield cannot nurture a true Divine Emperor, the entity inside is believed to be close to the Divine Emperor realm. However, these are merely speculations by the Shadow Devil Bats. Heavenly Ridge is classified as the most perilous land by them. The cost of exploration is too high, yielding little of value, so the Shadow Devil Bats ceased their investigations there. Now, Long Yu mentioned Heavenly Ridge, surprising Long Chen. Could the Evil Dragon Clan have the ability to explore this area? "Have you already mastered Heavenly Ridge?" Long Chen asked solemnly. Long Yu replied woodenly, "Heavenly Ridge is filled with countless fiends; no one can control it. Lord Long Wu used the Divine Emperor Artifact passed down in our clan to kill numerous fiends and discovered the place where our Evil Dragon Clan ancestors collectively perished, unleashing the Ancestors' Blessing to help our top powerhouses condense Emperor Flames..." Through Long Yu's account, Long Chen finally understood that the Evil Dragon Clan is not just a name from the Nine Heavens but an actual race. They are inherently evil, take pride in wickedness, and are incredibly fierce. The Evil Dragon Clan never reasons but values strength, simple and brutal. The Evil Dragon Clan is a powerful branch of the Outer Domain Dragon Tribe, which includes the Evil Dragon Clan, the Wild Dragon Clan, claiming to lead the tens of thousands of dragons beyond the domain. However, among the three dragon clans, the Wild Dragon Clan is the true leader, the strongest in power, followed by the Evil Dragon Clan, with the Evil Dragon Clan being the weakest. Yet, of the Outer Domain's three dragon clans, only the Evil Dragon Clan entered the Heavenly Domain Battlefield; the other two did not. As for the specific reasons, Long Yu did not know. Clearly, although he is strong, he is not a core powerhouse and cannot know more secrets. This time, the Evil Dragon Clan came out in full force, with three million young powerhouses flooding into the Heavenly Domain Battlefield. After entering, they headed straight for Heavenly Ridge, the place where their ancestors fell. According to Long Yu, they engaged in an unprecedented battle with the fiends there, losing half of their three hundred thousand strong force, forcing a passage into the fallen land. Once inside the fallen land, everyone received blessings, and Long Yu stood out by gaining numerous Ancestors' Blessings, increasing his Emperor Flames from over three hundred to over nine hundred. However, although his ascension was swift, he lacked endurance. After reaching nine hundred eighty-seven Emperor Flames, he could no longer condense more under the blessings. So he was sent out to seek new opportunities and hunt more dragon clan powerhouses to seize their fortune. Unfortunately, in previous openings of the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, millions, even tens of millions of dragon clan powerhouses were present, but now they have become so scarce, leaving them both shocked and furious. Hunting the Nine Heavens dragon clan powerhouses and seizing their fortune to help themselves condense Emperor Flames is their fastest method of improvement, but this time, finding a Nine Heavens dragon clan powerhouse is as hard as fishing for a needle in the ocean. Long Yu wandered for so long and only encountered a dozen or so dragon clan powerhouses, and they were not particularly strong, unable to absorb much dragon clan fortune. Later, he met Di Mengyao, thinking he could finally feast, but ended up risking his life. "Lord Long Chen, you actually knew that this group of Evil Dragon Clan would devour our dragon clan's fortune. You truly are a god-like existence," Di Mengyao said, utterly impressed with Long Chen. When Long Chen initially proposed allowing only the ten thousand elite of the Heavenly Dragon Domain into the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, he faced opposition from almost the entire dragon clan. Now, it seems that Long Chen was truly foresighted, almost godly. Embarrassed by Di Mengyao's worshipful gaze, Long Chen explained that he only brought the dragon clan elite to avoid excessive casualties and because only elites could gather to form true combat power. As for those with average strength and talent, entering would be suicidal. Long Chen dared to predict that later on, treasures would be obtained based on strength. Even if one got lucky and obtained a treasure, without strength, one would still be eliminated. Long Chen never imagined that these Outer Domain dragon clans could seize the Nine Heavens dragon clan's fortune to help themselves condense Emperor Flames. Through Long Yu's words, Long Chen finally understood why killing Evil Dragon Clan powerhouses yielded so little benefit. Their fortune was stripped from the Nine Heavens powerhouses, explaining why their Emperor Flame power was lacking. Everything made sense now. Long Chen further inquired about the internal strength of the Evil Dragon Clan, and Long Yu's words left Di Mengyao's face pale with shock. When Long Yu left Heavenly Ridge, Lord Long Wu was condensing the nine hundred ninety-seventh Emperor Flame, which was almost complete. Based on the timeline, it should be finished now. Moreover, there are two others with nine hundred ninety-six Emperor Flames and eighteen with over nine hundred ninety Emperor Flames. There are more than three hundred powerhouses with over nine hundred eighty Emperor Flames, one of whom is Long Yu. As for those with less than nine hundred eighty Emperor Flames, Long Yu did not count, nor could he. He was among the first batch of powerhouses sent out and only remembered the situation then. Whether there were new rising stars later, he did not know. "What terrifying power. Such a powerful race is the weakest of the three Outer Domain Dragon Clans?" Di Mengyao couldn't help but gasp. If Long Yu hadn't been completely controlled and unable to lie, she wouldn't have believed his words. It was too astonishing. Apart from the so-called Lord Long Wu, there were two other powerhouses comparable to Di Mengyao, leaving her with a deep sense of powerlessness. Her proud talent seemed insignificant in the face of the Evil Dragon Clan. "Boom!" Suddenly, another vine behind Long Yu shattered. Most of Long Yu's curse power was borne by Zhi Zhi, but he had to endure some himself. After so many questions, Long Yu finally couldn't hold on. His body began to rot, curse runes rapidly spreading, and Zhi Zhi hurriedly discarded him. "Lord Long Chen, what should we do now?" Di Mengyao asked. "Boom, boom, boom..." At this moment, the void thundered as a group of figures rushed over like bolts of lightning.
